The minutes from the June 24, 2004 were approved, after addition of the word - "submit" six sets - in the very last paragraph. Villas at the Preserve - Preliminary Plan Comments by Mike Schoppe 1) Point 2 under preliminary plan—Mr. Lannert would like to look at the Hughes property adjoining and his concerns with an emergency access road is that it would mix the residential and commercial aspects of the two properties. He would like to design the boulevard road divided- throughout the development, and have just an emergency lineage on the southeast corner. The City would not want to promote this as a primary emergency access drive, and Mr. Graff stated the City will want an access easement for this drive. The City pointed out that that commercial/retail development is coming—Larry's Diner. Mr. Lannert wants to explore the 28' wide road with the property owner to the east. Mr. Schoppe suggested the access go further south, so as not to make it conducive for residents to use as a thru-road. The City favors a"No Thru Traffic" signage. Mr. Graff suggests that the drive be 24" wide, so as not to encourage traffic. The homeowner's association will maintain the driveway, but it will be a private drive. The developer will check with Mr. Hughes to the east, in proposing a sidewalk that would abut the joint property. 2) Point#4 under preliminary plan - Mr. Lannert said they are looking at impacting approximately .42 acres of wetlands on the site, in terms of jurisdictional wetlands. The modified plan shows improved creek channelization, increasing the length from 900-1200 feet, improving with bio-swales. Mr. Lannert will resubmit the site analysis, providing clarification for drainage. The Army Corps of Engineers has determined one area is jurisdictional and Mr. Graff suggested that the developer keep the Army Corps jurisdictional permit, since our storm water/wetlands ordinance is undergoing technical review. The City staff will decide, as part of the PUD agreement, if we will be mitigating those area that are non-jurisdictional. 3) Point#3 under preliminary plan - Mr. Lannert said their plan shows 30' setback on the side loaded garages, making for large driveways. He is requesting 20'. The ordinance states the building setback line,per Anna Kurtzman. Mr. Graff's concern is that two cars can park in the driveway, and that there is adequate parking and sufficient utility easements. Joe Wywrot stated 5' within a footing is not favorable. This age targeted development will have driveway maintained by the association, per Mr. Lannert. Mr. Graff suggested that the first issue is that the back of curb setback fits with all engineering issue. The closest footing will be the garage footing. Potentially, if there is a tree line in the rear, the utilities would be in the front. Mr. Schoppe would look at the side load garage and assure that the owner will be able to make a 90 degree turn into the drive. Lannert will look at rear utilities. Mr. Lannert will add preliminary footprint and driveways to the preliminary plan for all lots. 4) Point# 5 under preliminary plan— The City is looking that at this property as an addition to the Harris Preserve, as open space. The City will have a meeting with Dan Kramer's office, Tony Graff and Ryan and Nelson Pottinger to determine the land use for this property. 5) The Bristol Kendall Fire Department's concerns are covered in Joe Wywrot's comments. 6) Mr. Lannert, in response to a question from Anna Kurtzman regarding shared access for driveways, stated that there would be right of ingress and egress will be incorporated in the homeowners' documentation. Blanket easements will be available for cable, utilities and driveways. Engineering comments from Joe Wvwrot 1) Storm calculations will be provided to Joe Wywrot, including lot size and grading concerns. Mr. Graff stated this development fits with compatibility with nature and the council also likes the designs with the side load garages. It also compliments the commercial area nearby. Mr. Lannert stated that architectural standards will be provided, in particular the brick used. 2) Last bullet on page 1 Mr. Lannert is requesting 24' on the eyebrow. The City is suggesting a decrease in the size of the island. The fire department's concerns is difficulty of bringing in equipment. The City's position has been 28'. The developer is given the option of resubmitting new plans after Plan Commission. for consideration for Public Works, BKFD and the Police Departments review. 3) Point#1 on page 2 The City is requesting a traffic study and the City prefers Metro. Mr. Wywrot stated this study will go to IDOT and work with the City for completion. 4) Point #2—The typical pavement section will be revised, because of the wetlands, will be provided to Mr. Wywrot. 5) Point#4—The developer will submit a true grading of the sides and 4-5/1 side slopes will be shown. Mr. Graff suggests the developer meet with the Forest Preserve prior to the Public Hearing. 6) Point # 8 — The developer will determine after meeting with the Preserve, whether a stub will need to be provided. Mr. Wywrot stated a pump station may need to be cited there. 7) Point# 10—Lannert will comply with and add the drainage swale extending from Harris Court to the NW pond. 3 8) Point#1 on page 1 —The City is needs a uniform parkway width. Mr. Lannert -' will get a copy of their survey to Mr. Wywrot. The developer will send the plans to IDOT and will copy the information to Joe Wywrot. 9) The park donation is 100% cash and the pedestrian trail goes across the front of the development. The preliminary plan will be presented at the Plan Commission on July 14th and at EDC on July 21 at 7 PM. The targeted public hearing date will be August 24. The draft of the PUD / annexation agreement needs to be submitted 2 weeks prior to the public hearing. The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 AM.

General • The name of this development was previously Fox Hill Unit 7. The unit designation should remain the same. • Please provide the plat and plan to Kendall County, Walter E. Deuchler Associates, and the City of Plano for review. Plat • Show Cummins Street, which is the entrance road to the Lakewood Homes development. I understand that the plat that created this street was recorded recently. • The plat refers to the cul-de-sac as Fox Hill Court, while the plan refers to Hill Court. Which is correct? • Check with the Parks Department whether a pedestrian trail is needed to the bridge over Rob Roy Creek at this time. • Revise the language for the stormwater easement to refer to "Stormwater Management Easement" as shown on Sheet 1. • Blanket public utility and drainage easements should be dedicated over Lot 7 and that part of Lot 6 that falls within the conservation easement. • Easement language is needed for the conservation easement. • A landscape buffer easement is needed along Eldamain Road. • Specific utility and drainage easement locations and widths will need to be reviewed once the final plan is approved. Plan Sheet 2: • Revise General Note 2 to refer to Unit 7. A • Revise General Note 8B to delete specific standards regarding proof rolls. State that the proof roll must demonstrate adequate bearing to the satisfaction of the city. • Revise the stationing for the typical details. The entrance road should have a collector road pavement structure for its entire length. • Revise the prime coat application rate in each typical detail to agree with General Note 8C. Sheet 3: • Revise Watermain Note 5 to refer to Trench Adaptor valve boxes instead of cast iron valve boxes. • Revise Watermain Note 6 by referring to Trench Adaptor instead of Tread Adaptor. • Revise Sanitary Note 5 by stating that the pressure test may last up to 2 hours. Sheet 4: • Call for the existing hydrant and valve (EX2 and EX3) to be removed and returned to the city. The existing Tee fitting would be capped, • Revise the stationing for the streetlights in the Tag Schedule. Where is Pole#5? • Add a valve on the 8" watermain at the SW corner of Lot 5. • Move Storm MH 202 into the Eldamain ROW to eliminate the skewed crossing of the 16" watermain. • The utilities proposed between Lots 5 and 6 are much too congested. The deeper sewer design suggested by Deuchler and the sandy soils only make matters worse. To improve things, consider moving the sanitary sewer and forcemain into the conservation easement area. A shorter and shallower sanitary sewer would serve the individual dwellings on those two lots and connect the trunk sewer before flowing on to the lift station. • Re-align the forcemain near Rob Roy Creek by crossing the 16" watermain about 25 feet west of EXl. Sheet 5: • Our minimum allowable roadway widths at entrances with medians are 28' B-B for outbound traffic and 20' B-B for inbound traffic. Make these changes by reducing the width of the median. • Eliminate the vertical curve at Sta. 3+02. • The two valves at Sta. 3+55L are too close to each other. Move Valve 214 to a point 10' north of the sanitary sewer stub to the commercial lot. • Revise the slope on the sanitary sewer stub to the commercial lot to 0.50%. Maintain the stub elevation and change the elevation at MH 107. • Provide watermain and sanitary sewer stubs to the north at the temporary end of Fox Hill Lane. 1,4 Sheet 7: • Revise the profile of sanitary sewer Runs 200 and 300 to minimize the depth of cover. We require 5' of cover over mains and services. Revise the main line slope of 0.50%. Sheet 8: • Revise the profile of sanitary sewer Runs 400 and 500 to minimize the depth of cover. We require 5' of cover over mains and services. Revise the main line slope of 0.50%. • Correctly identify Lot 7 for sewer Run 400. Sheet 9: • Revise the profile of sanitary sewer Run 600 to minimize the depth of cover. We require 5' of cover over mains and services. Revise the main line slope of 0.50%. • See previous comments regarding Run 700. Sheet 10: • The site plan for the lift station site needs to be expanded upon to show better detail. Move the station north to avoid blocking the 10' utility easement along the south side of the development. • Show the 15' landscape easement required by the Third Amendment to the Fox Hill PUD Agreement. Sheet 13: • Provide additional spot elevations to confirm that during storms greater than 10- year frequency, water will drain overland to the detention basin rather than through the area where the reverse-pitch sidewalk is proposed. Sheet 14: • The detention basin needs to be made larger because it is influenced by the flood profile of Rob Roy Creek. First determine pond HWL's for the 2, 25, and 100- year storms and the corresponding restrictor sizing based on a free outfall. The restrictors are then re-evaluated to determine their actual outflow rates using the same pond HWL's and a 10-year flood stage elevation for Rob Roy Creek, which is 622.09 at the outfall. The required pond volume is then modified using the revised orifice outflow rates. This method has been suggested by EEI and is used in Kane County. • Provide information on the two proposed retaining walls. The base of the wall on Lot 6 appears to be around elevation 623, which would result in a 7'-high wall. Contact our Building Department to find out what information they might need and to determine if railing is required. • Storm sewer section 101 is much too close to the proposed retaining wall east of the building on Lot 6. • The proposed grading on the commercial lot has a 632' contour tying into an existing 628' contour. Also, provide spot elevation for the sidewalk along the commercial lot frontage. 0 • The storm sewer outfall to the creek should be more than just a simple swale. It may include areas of differing slope, width, and direction. Rob Roy Creek in this area also has an embankment immediately adjacent to the creek that might force the discharge from the detention basins onto the adjacent property to the south before the water finds a low point where it would join the creek. Mike Schoppe will be involved in the review of swale design; you should contact him directly to discuss design objectives. • Provide a location for the topsoil stockpile to avoid conflicts with utility construction. Sheet 15: • The landscape plan has been forwarded to Mike Schoppe for review. • A landscape plan must be provided for the conservation easement area, and would also include treatment of the swale from the storm sewer outfall to Rob Roy Creek. Sheet 16: • Data is needed for the restrictor structures. Sheet 17: • Revise the MH frame and cover detail by requiring"City of Yorkville" and either "Sanitary", "Storm", or"Water" on the lid. Sheet 18: • Provide clarification on the hydrant detail by stating that the auxiliary valve box shall be Trench Adaptor by American Flow Control. • Delete the tapping valve detail and replace it with a butterfly valve in vault detail. • Need a detail for water service. Sheet 19: • Delete the collector streetlight detail. • Recently we were advised that the GE luminaire our ordinance specifies is no longer a valid number. Replace C728 N 609 with M2RR-15-S-1-N-2-A-MS3-F. • Revise both curb details by requiring the gutter flag height to be at least 10 inches. Sheet 22: • Utilize the waterway plan detail for the swale between the pond outfall and Rob Roy Creek. Sheet 25: • The lift station design should use a precast concrete wet well. The only time we have allowed a pre-fabricated metal wet well was when we were certain that the life span of the station was less than 5 years. • Ordinance also requires that the lift station controls and generator be housed in a building. Given the tight location for the sight, I will recommend that we allow weatherproof enclosures. ti This plat and plan are scheduled for review at Plan Council on July 22, 2004.

Re: Fox Hill Pod 10 We have reviewed the Final Plat of Subdivision dated 5/18/04 and the Civil Engineering Plans dated 5/17/04, both prepared by Smith Engineering Consultants, and provide the following comments: Final Plat 1. It was agreed at the February 12th Plan Council meeting that a pedestrian easement would be granted to the City over the entire floodplain for a possible bike trail. This needs to be shown. The location of this bike trail needs to be drawn,on the plan from the pedestrian bridge south through this property to determine if any additional easements are necessary. 2. Add a 25' landscape easement along Eldamain Road per the P.U.D. agreement. 3. Add language to the plat for the conservation easement. Civil Enzineering Plans 1. At the February 12th Plan Commission meeting, Tim Fairfield requested a stubbed turnabout at the dead end drive between buildings 5 and 6 to allow fire trucks to pass through. I do not believe the design of the proposed turnabout accomplishes this. Tim should provide his input on the layout of the turnabout, 2. Given that Fox Hill Lane will serve as a main entrance into the commercial property, it should be discussed if on-street parking will be allowed on Fox Hill Lane. If parking is not allowed, we recommend additional guest parking to serve buildings 9, 10, 11 and 12. v..aicf2 Jul . 15 . 2004 2 : 26PM No . 5532 P . 3/3 3. Architectural plans need to be forwarded to our office in order to complete our review. Three items that will be looked at are: a. Is the front porch uncovered, therefore being an allowable encroachment into the front yard b. Incorporation of planting islands between garage doors c. How does sidewalk circulation work with these units? 4. Will trash dumpsters be used in this development? 5. Show the contouring of the outfall swale from the FES to Rob Roy Creek. The specific type of vegetation for this swale and conservation easement needs to be shown on the landscape plan. 6. Show the required berming along Eldamain Road on the grading and erosion control plan. 7. A landscape plan needs to be submitted before we can complete our review. 8. The plans should show the location of the entrance road into Lakewood Springs. We will complete our review when the requested information is forwarded to our office.

Kurtzman, AICP SUBJECT: Compliance Review Final Plat of Subdivision—Fox Hill Pod 10 I have reviewed the document identified above for compliance with the terms of the original annexation agreement and subsequent amendments. Based upon this review, I have the following comments: 1. Section F (page 5) of the original Annexation/PUD agreement stipulates that there is to be a 25 foot wide "green area/berming" along Eldamain Road. This landscape area is to be in addition to the required rear-yard setback area. 2. Section N(1) (page 8)of the original agreement states that the developer will dedicate "...for roadway purposes, a sufficient amount of real property contiguous with the east side of Eldmain Road so as to create a roadway of 50 feet east from the centerline of Eldmain Road." It appears that the intent is being met, however, I do not see language on the plat that actually dedicates this right-of-way. In addition to reviewing the plat against the annexation agreement, I have the following comments: 1. Other than for front yard setbacks and corner side-yard setbacks, I typically do not advocate putting building setback lines on plats. In this case, I believe it would be advisable to include all building setback lines. This is due primarily to the configuration of Lot 5. Lot 5 is what is commonly referred to as a"flag lot." The way the City's zoning code is currently written, it is impossible to issue a building permit for flag lots. This is due to the definitions used for defining front, side and rear lot lines. In applying the definitions, one or more property lines in a flag lot cannot be classified and therefore a setback yard cannot be determined. To avoid this problem at the time of building permit issuance, I would recommend that all building setback lines be denoted. 2. I believe there may be a problem with building the proposed product on Lot 6. Scaling the proposed product from Sheet 4 of the engineering plans, it appears that i T. Graff Final Subdivision Plat—Fox Hill Pod 10 July 16, 2004 Page 2 of 2 the northeaster corner of the building will be approximately 62 feet from the western lot line. This places the northeastern corner of the building in the middle of the eastern drainage and utility easement for Lot 6. 3. Building setback lines should be denoted for all sides of property that abut a public right-of-way. The building setback line should be reflected from Fox Hill Lane within Lot 13. 4. The zoning code stipulates that minimum lot width is measured at the front building setback line. Please have the developer provide the lot width for each lot as measured at the front building setback line. 5. Although a conservation easement is shown on the face of the plat, there is no corresponding language. 6. It should be noted that final landscape plans are required. I believe that it was the intention that sheet 15 of the engineering plans would suffice, however, no landscape details are provided.

Chief Fairfield: I received your letters date July 12, 2004 in regards to Station#2 lot configuration issues and Westbury Annexation Agreement concerns. I placed these items on the next planning council agenda, July 22, 2004 as additional business to address your concerns. Furthermore, the Westbury Annexation still needs to have staff and legal review before recording so I believe there is an opportunity to address your concerns. Thank you for your cooperation and patience. Sincerely, Anton Graff City Administrator CC: Planning Council Staff .t3 „ „ 103 East Beaver Street Yorkville, IL 60560-1704 OA. Phone: 630 553-6186 • • Fax: 630 553-1482 July 12, 2004 Tony Graff, City Administrator United City of Yorkville 800 Game Farm Road Yorkville, IL 60560 Dear Mr. Graff, This letter is in regards to the future Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District Station 2 property located at Kennedy and McHugh Road. Our architect and myself had a meeting with Anna Kurtzman on July 9, 2004. As you are aware of the dimensions of the proposed lot has changed since the original inception. Due to this dimension change our designed station will not fit on the lot with the setback requirements of the city. Due to this situation the district is requesting an additional 16 feet on the west side of the proposed property line. This will allow enough room for landscaping and parking lot lights to be installed on the west side of our proposed parking lot. The district would also like some relief from the 60' foot landscape buffer on the North side of the property. It is our understanding that the requirements currently in place would require use to put in a berm with landscaping on this berm. We would like this buffer be decreased to 30 feet. We do plan on keeping our station as far south on the property as we can. We will leave as much landscaping buffer as possible on Kennedy Road, which could possibly be more than 30 feet. We also don't want a large berm like the one that is just west of our property. We may possibly be able to put a small berm like the one at Kennedy and Route 47 on the south side of the street. I think this station will provide a nice presentation to the entrance of both the residential and commercial entrance that will be built around this station. Originally I met with Mr. Wywrot and discussed this station layout with him. At that time the layout of the station was fine, including a full access onto Kennedy road. Now that has been changed to a right in and right out only, due to the reconfiguration of Kennedy road. This changed our design plans dramatically for the station layout. We also received a letter from Jennifer Woodrick about the address for the temporary trailer, which will be sitting on our property. I am a little confused as to why it is on this property without any consultation with the District. What will happen when the property is deeded over to the District? What will happen when the District needs to perform soiling borings on this property? Could you also check on the possibility of getting permission from Menards that would allow the District to do soil borings on the property? Do you know when the property is going to be deeded over to the District? If you could please look into this matter for the Fire District and let us know the responses to the questions raised. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Since el , Timothy Fairfield Assistant Chief Y: y , 103 East Beaver Street Yorkville, IL 60560-1704 e/e/.011. • Phone: 630 553-6186 Fax: 630 553-1482 July 12, 2004 Tony Graff, City Administrator United City of Yorkville 800 Game Farm Road Yorkville, IL 60560 Dear Mr. Graff, This letter is in regards to the annexation agreement with the Westbury Village Subdivision. The Fire District and the United City of Yorkville Department of Building Safety had a meeting in regards to Westbury on April 27, 2004. At this meeting the District requested that a Sprinkler System (NFPA 13) be installed in any multi-family unit located on a private drive. Attached is a copy of that meeting memo. After reviewing the Fire Suppression requirements on page 19 of the current draft version of the annexation agreement, the requirements have changed. I am confused as to why the requirements have changed with no input from the district. They are increasing the density and still are allowed minimal requirements in regards to fire suppression. The 2000 International Fire Code Chapter 9, Section 901.4.3 additional fire protection systems allows the installation of additional safeguards. I would like some reconsideration on this area of the annexation agreement. On page 25, paragraph 4 has Bristol Kendall or Oswego Fire Protection District listed. This should only be Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District. This whole subdivision is in the fire district. On page 23, Section F I would like to thank you for putting in the prepay 50% of the Bristol-Kendall Fire Fee. If you could please look into this matter for the Fire District and let us know the responses to the questions raised. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
