Director Parks &Recreation Laura Brown Guests: Marvin DeLahr—Fox Hill Pete Huinker—Fox Hill Minutes 1) January 8—on page 2 under Preliminary Plan Presentation, change wording "Plan Commission recommended approval" to wording to reflect that the plan commission's consensus was that the Preliminary Plans for neighborhoods #6-#16 be approved. There was no formal action taken. 2) January 22, 2004—on page 2 under Roadway Stub, change "on lot to the north (not east as stated) in order to improve". PC 2001-16 Fox Hill POD 10—Preliminary Plan Mr. Graff stated that at the Plan Commission meeting on February 11, the Commission • by 9-1 voted down the request for rezoning of the petitioner's request to R-4. Mike Schoppe stated that concerns voiced expressed prior to the voting were primarily sensitivity to current residents that the lots would remain zoned R-2, and not be considered to a change to R-4(multifamily). Engineering review 1) Clarify plat—comments of initial plans submitted Dec. 23, 2003. The residential portion of the plat is zoned for R-4 and this needs to be stated on the plat, and identified in the PUD amendment (requiring 15,000 SF lots with 100' lot width, 30' side yards and 40' rear yards). 2) The storm water basin and floodplain is a issue, because the lots, as stated by Tony Graff, are extended all the way through to the property line. The recommendation is that their would be separate lots to discourage residents from using these areas as part of their own lawns, with shed and lawn furniture there, as well as additional grading that may be performed. The city wishes to keep ownership out of the flood plain. 3) Joe Wywrot commented that he is concerned with the functionality of the pond with the floodplains elevations as stated. In addition the timing of the work to be done will need to be taken into consideration and will need to be re-addressed as the Fox Hill proposed project progresses. 2 4) The trail to the pedestrian bridge leading from Fox Hill Lane towards Rob Roy Creek, along the north boundary, is not shown on the plan. Tony Graff would like to see a connection to the current B-3 that is currently owned by another property owner, or in the least an easement. Mr. Iluinnker suggested they would show an easement, along the detention basin, and keep it out of the floodplain. Mike Schoppe states the bike trail would be in the floodplain, and providing a "city access easement", and the flexibility to put the bike trail within the easement. 5) Tony Graff stated the city is asking for a 15' foot access easement on Eldamain Road, with language stating it will be coordinated when Eldamain Rd. is redesigned. 6) Tony Graff stated that the city is requesting an easement for the public sidewalk along the Eldamain Rd. frontage, for plat purposes. He needs direction from the Council on the legality and language as to who might construct the sidewalk, and will be a part of the rezoning negotiations. 7) Joe Wywrot confirmed that the water main layout on the new plans had been revised. He addressed a need to confirm that the alignment with Lakewood Springs is included. Fran Klass, Kendall Co. Highway Department, okayed the access point,per a letter received by Tony Graff. 8) Joe Wywrot stated that Deuchler has okayed the move of the lift station to the south end, with minor changes on the resubmittal. Landscaping 1) Mike Schoppe indicates that a berm needs to be shown along Eldamain Road. Presently there is only grading shown. Anna Kurtzman stated that a minimum of 25' is needed for the easement, which would be inclusive of the 15' rail/sidewalk. 2) In the new subdivision revision, the medians are to be a part of the public right of way, per Dan Kramer's determination. Fire Department - BKFD 1) Tim Fairfield shared his concern that some of the buildings in the plan are farther than the city's standard of 150' from a roadway. Mr. Fairfield said it would be extremely difficult to fight a fire, that they would be fighting from the street. The southernmost building is of the utmost concern, and he stated that the fire department would need a cut in the berm for equipment, in order that they not fight the fire from Eldamain Rd. Mike Schoppe suggested that the developer may want to consider moving the cluster counterclockwise, but Mr. Fairfield was not favorable to that suggestion. He suggests a stub turnaround at the end of the street for firetrucks to pass through. Typically, for this type of development, when the City street dead ends on a property line, the City does a flare out— hammerhead with a full right of way. Mr. Dresden suggested they could redesign a hammer head. 2) Mr. Graff and Tim Fairfield said that perhaps the City needed to address, internally, some additional regulations and standards for proposed multi-family housing. One possibility would be additional fire stopping. Anna Kurtzman and 3 Bill Dettmer will be addressing a section in the PUD amendment regarding fire codes. 3) Mike Schoppe stated he would consider redesigning with an opening in the berm, and would consider this, once the Council has taken action on the plan. 4) Another concern voiced was the watennain layout, which will be revised. This is going to be a central pressure zone, with mains, originally 8"now to be 16". Parks & Recreation 1) Laura Brown suggested in the landscape plan that she would need to see the pedestrian bridge connected. Mike Schoppe is not certain if the landscaping will be applicable in the new landscape ordinance. Tony Graff suggested that the more detailed landscaping could be a part of the negotiation process for the rezoning PUD amendment. Comments regarding commercial lighting and headlights were also expressed by the residents east of the proposed development. Suggestions were evergreens along the back end of the current development, and implementation of the night sky standard. The police department will need to be included in preliminary landscape reviews. If the City Council recommendations are favorable for the plan, Fox Hill will be rescheduled at a Plan Council meeting before they go to Plan Commission. The EDC zoning PUD amendment is on the agenda for Thursday, February 19, 2004. Fox Hill will not resubmit until they have received policy direction. Tony Graff did ask the developer to bring some design standards, with steet scapes and elevations before the EDC meeting. Additional business Tony Graff asked the members of Plan Council to review the draft of the pollution control facility siting ordinance and have their comments to him by Tuesday, February 17, for review by John Watson. Meeting adjourned at 10:40 AM.

Kurtzman SUBJECT: Review of Westbury Village Annexation Agreement (dated 2/12/04) I have reviewed the document listed above against my notes of previous agreements and from our February 2nd meeting. Based upon this review, I have the following comments: 1. Page 5, Section 4A(ii)—This section discusses compliance with the approved concept plan. As the petitioner is proceeding with preliminary plat approval, Section 4A(ii) is unnecessary. However, the second sub-section 4A(ii)(a) should remain. 2. Page 17 — setbacks a. my notes indicate that setbacks from public roads shall be at least 30 feet for both the town homes and courtyard homes. b. We also discussed with the petitioner a need to define the front and rear of the town homes and courtyard homes in order to determine compliance with the proposed setbacks. Based upon the architectural elevations Mike Schoppe would determine what constitutes the front and rear of the buildings. This should be reflected in the agreement. 3. Staff has requested architectural elevations for this project, which have not been provided. As product may be unknown at this time, staff has requested language indicating that architectural elevations be provided along with the final plan submittal. 4. Page 28, Section D —The City may want to review the language of the first sentence. This sentence requires the City to enter into an Economic Development Incentive Agreement. If this is acceptable to the City, then the sentence is fine. Otherwise, you may want the sentence to be re-written to provide some flexibility (i.e., provide some out if the terms of the proposed agreement is not acceptable to the City). 5. At the February 2nd meeting, we discussed improvements to Corneils Road, which included: 80' ROW and installing sidewalk along the north side of Corneils. I see T. Graff Westbury Village Annexation Agreement February 25, 2004 Page 2 of 2 that the ROW dedication is reflected on the preliminary plat, however, I do not see anything reflecting the installation of a sidewalk along the north side of the road. 6. We also discussed the commercial site at our February 2nd meeting. During that discussion we asked that a bubble diagram be provided indicating access points to/from the site. We also requested architectural elevation review (see point#3 above). 7. There are at least 2 locations in the agreement where cross references are suppose to be provided but are not(pages 20 and 30). 8. Exhibits a. Exhibit D—Landscape plan, including signage- not provided. b. Exhibit G—This exhibit is to be both the right to farm statement and the statement authorizing continuing business operations. I did not see the business operations statement. c. Exhibit N—on Page 19, Exhibit N is a list of the building codes. On page 26 Exhibit N is a draft recapture agreement. Neither of these correspond to the exhibit list (which identifies Exhibit N as the draft LOC). On Page 13, the Draft LOC is referenced as Exhibit L. d. Exhibit L—This exhibit provides copies of all pending ordinances that might impact this development. Is this a comprehensive list (I didn't see the proposed subdivision regulations)? e. Exhibit M—An exhibit M is identified on page 14 (pending ordinances that the developer wants to use as if the ordinance is approved). This exhibit is not listed on the list of exhibits nor is it provided in the exhibits. /abk c: L.

Downer Place Ph. (630) 896-2501 Aurora, IL 60506 Fax (630) 896-3228 February 25, 2004 MEMORANDUM To: Joe Wywrot, City Engineer ' From: Mike Schoppe - Schoppe Design Associates, Inc. Re: Westbury Village We have reviewed the Preliminary P.U.D. and Plat dated 2-12-04 prepared by Lannert Group and the Preliminary Engineering Plan dated 2/12/04 prepared by Cemcon Ltd., and provide the following comments: General Ocean-Atlantic is requesting rezoning of the Undesser Farm from A-1 to P.U.D. zoning for that portion of the farm that has previously been annexed into Yorkville. Additionally, there is approximately 43 acres of land in the northwest corner of the site which is currently not in Yorkville, for which they are requesting annexation and rezoning to P.U.D. In addition to the annexation and rezoning, they are also requesting approval of the Preliminary P.U.D. Plan and Nat and the Preliminary Engineering Plan. Therefore, our review comments will be based on these two plans. The Preliminary Landscape Plans and Preliminary Architectural Plans have not yet been submitted. It is our understanding that these plans will be submitted in the near future. We will provide additional review comments on these plans once they are received. Preliminary P.U.D. Plan and Plat 1. The plan complies with the Transitional Neighborhood standards in the Comprehensive Plan with the exception of the amount of open space being provided. The "additional open space", as defined in the Comprehensive Plan,needs to be 69.5 acres. This number has been discussed and agreed upon for some time. The current plan provides 61.8 acres of additional open space as calculated below: Pnga l d7 Feb .25 . 2004 3 : 18PM No . 4034 P. 3/4 Total Open Space from plan: 91.9 acres Less Required Stormwater: 21.3 acres Less Required Park Land: 12.0 acres Plus 15% Stonnwater Credit: 3.2 acres Additional Open Space Provided: 61.8 acres Therefore, it appears that an additional 7.7 acres of open space would need to be provided in order to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. There is a discrepancy between some of the plans as to the actual amount of open space provided. The Transitional Neighborhood Compliance Plan indicates 94.9 acres in the site data chart, 103.4 acres of open space in the Open Space Allocation chart and 91.9 acres of open space on the Preliminary P.U.D. Plan and Plat. This discrepancy needs to be addressed. 2. This draft of the plan has eliminated the access to Route 47 at Pod 6. We recommend that the access still be pursued. An east/west collector is planned to come through the undeveloped property to the east of Route 47 and intersect with Route 47 approximately halfway between Galena Road and Cornelis Road. An attempt should be made to align these two Route 47 curb cuts. 3. The school/park has a reduced amount of frontage from the last plan we have reviewed. A site plan for the school should be prepared by Ocean-Atlantic or by the City which would study a potential school footprint, circulation pattern and access drives. This plan should be discussed with the School District to determine if adequate access points can be provided. 4. The proposed 100-year floodplain needs to be identified on the Preliminary Plan. 5. The Bristol-Kendall Fire Protection District has previously expressed concerns about providing fire protection for buildings which are more than 150' away from a street. Pods 3 and 7 have some buildings which have buildings between 225' —250' away from the street. Tim Fairfield should comment on the ability of the district to provide emergency services to these buildings. 6. Buildings A, B, C and D have a building setback of 20' from Westbury Boulevard. We recommend these buildings have a setback of between 30' and 40' from the R.O.W. line. One possible way to accomplish this would be to reduce or eliminate that portion of the entry median adjacent to these buildings and reducing the R.O.W. 7. The front yard setbacks for the single family attached pods(Pods 3, 5, 7 and 8)are proposed to be 20' instead of 30' as per City ordinance. We recommend the front yard setback to be 30'. Feb • 25, 2004 3: 16Pv1 No .4034 P . 4/4 8. The corner yard setback for the single family lots (Pods 1, 2 and 6) are proposed to be 20' instead of 30' as per City ordinance. We recommend the corner yard setback to be 30'. Additional discussion with staff is needed on the proposed design standards. 9. The bike path proposed along Galena Road should be extended east across the commercial lot to the Forest Preserve property. Preliminary Engineering 1. We are scheduling a meeting with Illinois Department of Natural Resource representatives to further discuss the aquatic habitat existing in Rob Roy Creek. We will be asking them for their input on maintaining the quality of the habitat during and after construction. Following these discussions, we will want to discuss possible options for maintaining the quality of the habitat with Ocean-Atlantic. 2, Pods 3 and 7 have different building layouts and stormwater areas than is shown on the Preliminary P.U.D. Plan and Plat. This needs to be corrected. 3. Portions of the bike path are within the floodplain. The Park Board has stated that the bike path is to be above the 100 year floodplain elevation. 4. Additional information is needed on discharge points to Rob Roy Creek, plant communities and management objectives for the open space corridor before we can complete our comments. 5. Carriage walks axe proposed along the private street within Pod 7. We strongly recommend that parkways be provided along streets regardless of whether they axe public or private streets. We look forward to reviewing these comments with you at our February 26th Plan Council meeting. If you have any questions, please call.
