ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Tax Abatement Program
Kendall County offers a pre-negotiated, three-year property tax abatement to qualifying
companies. Eligible companies can receive an abatement of up to 75% during the first fully
assessed tax year, 50% the second year and 25% the third year to start a new project or expand
an existing business. Kendall County also offers a four and five-year property tax abatement at
50% each year to qualifying high impact companies.
After an application is received, each taxing district votes to approve or deny the abatement.
Districts act individually allowing some to proceed with the abatement even if others deny the
request. Requirements for the tax abatement programs include:
1. The development must have an assessed valuation of$500,000 or greater.
2. Applications will be evaluated and scored on job creation, wage rates, real estate
taxes generated and other economic indicators.
3. The eligible company must meet wage requirements and hire at least 50% of workers
from taxing districts that grant the abatement.
4. The company must sign all documents prior to closing.
Upper Illinois River Valley Development Authority (UIRVDA)
UIRVDA issues ten to thirty year tax-exempt Industrial Revenue Bonds to manufacturing
companies to finance the acquisition of assets or to construct new or renovate existing
facilities. Interest rates can be either fixed or variable and are generally 2-3% below prevailing
rates. No fixed minimum jobs creation or capital investment requirements apply, and the
Industry Revenue Bonds can finance up to 100% of eligible project costs. Eligibility
requirements and fees apply.
UIRVDA issues ten to thirty years Taxable Revenue Bonds to any commercial, industrial,
transportation, or recreational project that is not eligible for tax-exempt financing. Proceeds
from the bonds can be used to purchase land, buildings, and equipment or the construct new or
renovated existing facilities. Interest rates may be fixed or variable and are generally 1-1.5%
below prevailing rates. No fixed minimum job creation or capital investment requirements
apply, and the Taxable Revenue Bonds can finance up to 100% of eligible project costs. Fees
apply.

B. Amount and Duration:
The Applicant shall locate on the Property described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. The Taxing Bodies shall, pursuant to 35 ILCS

each take any and all action necessary to abate their portion of the Real Property
Taxes for three consecutive tax years after the facility is fully assessed as follows:
1. Seventy-five (75)percent of the Real Property Taxes for the First Tax Year when
the facility is fully assessed("First Tax Year") shall be abated.
2. Fifty(50)percent of the Real Property Taxes for the Second Tax Year when the
facility is fully assessed("Second Tax Year") shall be abated.
3. Twenty-five (25)percent of the Real Property Taxes for the Third Tax Year when
the facility is fully assessed("Third Tax Year") shall be abated.
This Agreement becomes null and void if the facility fails to be "fully assessed"
within three years of the date of this Agreement.
C. Applicant Cooperation:
On or before June 1 of each year, the Applicant agrees to provide the Kendall County
Supervisor of Assessments with the original capitalized cost and year of construction
of any and all assets/improvements in excess of$5,000 installed or added to the
Property between January 1 and December 31 of the preceding tax abatement year.
The original capitalized cost of any asset/improvement shall include installation costs,
transportation costs, and any other costs associated with the asset/improvement so as
to report the full-capitalized costs of the Property. The Kendall County Supervisor of
Assessments shall be allowed to verify the information provided by the Applicant
either through requested additional documentation or reasonable access to examine
the asset/improvement registers maintained by the Applicant or by on site inspections.
Should the Applicant fail to provide the information or access required, and should
such failure continue for more than thirty(30) days after written notice, any Taxing

The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 am. The 2004 December 9th minutes were approved as presented.
Silver Fox Preliminary Plan
Mike Schoppe comments
1) Mr. Schoppe is recommending that the location of the park be moved to the SW corner because
he feels it is too far from the middle to service the entire region, as he says the Evergreen Park
will not be developed. The school site, the Matlock site which is a acre 46 parcel, 32- 35 acres
belonging to the school district and approximately 11 acres belonging to the City, will be to the
south of the park site.
2) Roadway in this area will be N to S,because of drainage corridor that runs to the same direction.
Ms. Brown does not want the park south of the drainage area, but would prefer the park be
adjacent to the corridor, so park expansion would not be a problem.
3) There will be 175 homes, so %2 the land cash would be 3-4 acre, per development standards.
Benefit / service region is '/2 mile radius. There is 1/2 mile radius to Fox Road, and there is a
larger regional park across Fox Road, so Mr. Graff is suggesting with Ms. Brown in agreement, a
Tot Lot of 2 acres (minimum) in the north center area, with a possible cross bridge across the
swale to the west. There would be a larger park to the south(school), Meadowbrook(park) to
the east running to the Sunflower Park, the possibility of a Tot Lot in Evergreen. This number of
parks would meet design standards. Smith will look at a new design for a park.
4) There will be a redevelopment in the conservation design, per Mr. Graff, and if the lots are
smaller, the appearance of green in the track homes is more desirable, and easier to market for
new families, especially if the school/park site is not developed relatively soon.
5) Our park design standards, if water is visible, is not a nuisance issue.
6) Mr. Graff stated to the developer that the City's goal is to stay at a density of 1.75 du/ac .
7) Per Mr. Schoppe,there needs to be a 50' buffer and a ROW of 35'. Fran Klaas is asking for an
additional 15' ROW, which the developer is okay with.
8) This project will probably be the first one to be approved with the new South Comprehensive
Plan, and Mr. Schoppe suggests that this would be a model for future areas. Design guidelines
that can be illustrated and improved upon, if density is above 1.75 du/ac and is to be justified,
can be architectural, more open space than outlined, improvement dollars, and assisting with
school site acquisitions.
1
9) Mr. Schoppe stated there will be a road to the east and a road to the south of the school site and
recommends a road stub in the southeast corner, to join with the school site. There could be
driveways along this road.
10) A stub needs to be provided to the Willman Ford property, east of Silver Fox.
11) There are two ideas, in regards to the tree line along the east side. A road may be planned here,
with a possible median with trees, down the center. Or green space along the tree line is also a
possibility, and the ownership of the property need to be resolved.
John Whitehouse comments
1) Mr. Graff stated that the City Council is concerned about the impact of the traffic along Rt. 47
and Fox and wants to know if there would be short term solutions to the additional traffic,
connected via the roads to Fox River Bluffs, Evergreen Farms, Aspen Ridge and Charley Farms.
Mr. Graff will contact Smith to do a regional traffic impact City Scope of Service study, to
further determine what impact the $2000/per unit collected now has, and if more monies need
to be collected.
2) There may be a possibility that, if the developers are willing to help with a scope of service road
funding project (if is a very costly proposition),that the developers may be given a credit toward
their $2000 fees. Mr. Whitehouse stated that the four subdivisions are worth$2.2 million in
traffic impact fees. A possible solution, after the study, may be adding the bridge on Eldermain
Road extension. Greenbrier Rd. could be determined as a route to Route 47, and be help
commercially.
3) Mr. Whitehouse believes the tree line should be preserved, with trees in the rear yard, and the
City needs to know where the drip lines are.
4) The school site will be pedestrian friendly, with approximately 30% coming from High Point and
Rt. 71. An internal analysis (#12) should be done, to make road classifications, and what is
coming through from Fox Road. He is not recommending a hybrid or minor collector coming
off Fox Rd. —no load (no individual driveways). Internal designing may not be affected by
minimizing driveways by intersecting streets and corner lots coming onto the side streets.
5) Mr. Schoppe will be putting a land plan together in 4-8 weeks for the Matlock area, and
connecting roads will be easier to establish. This will include west of Rt. 47, and Pavilion to Fox
Rd.
6) Evergreen Farm has a storm water basin in their corner, adjacent to the park in Lot E, that will
discharge on its way to the wetland creek management area discharging. Mr. Whitehouse stated
that Park E should be considered a potential storm water quality area. He would like to
discharge some of this before it is released into the creek. The outfall is long and linear;the
velocity is very high because of the drop in elevation, which is 120 feet. Storm water is better
released in a developed and controlled environment than in an agricultural run off.
7) The release rate is to be determined. If the City can give reason to FEMA that there is a reason
to open the culvert,then it could be a solution, but not at the expense of storm water
improvements. Mr. Whitehouse would not increase the rate of discharge, but it is a problem
because of the railroad culvert. Mr. Graff stated that the City is in favor of quality cleansing, but
not at a higher rate. The options are: 1) maintain the current rate, as long as it is not higher than
.1 CFS per acre, and open the culvert (not a detriment downstream) or 2)reduce the rate below
.15 CFS per acre to increase storm water quality and lessen impact of the culvert in Fox Glen.
2
8) Conservation design is being suggested to City Council. Mr. Whitehouse said that number of
lots is not the issue. Reduce to 12,000 sq. ft. and use less linear feet for increasing open space,
more buffering, and reducing linear feet of water mains, roads and streets, so long term there is
less linear feet per unit.
9) Mr. Sperling stated he is not comfortable with lots less than 12,000 sq. ft. and wants the
architectural controls. Mr. Whitehouse suggested the developer may want to look at decreasing
the size of lots from the average of 14,500 (closer to 12,000)to increase the amount of space
available for storm water management, so additional buffering happens on the west side.
10) The developer will come to EDC on February 17th and speak on their Storm Water Regional
Enhancement Program: 1) regional traffic; 2) regional planning for parks and schools; 3)
conservation design, exploring lots at 12,000 sq. ft. addressing these issues on their preliminary
plan.
11) Mr. Sperling stated that he wants to build customized homes, is willing to have fewer lots
(maybe at 13,000 ft. ea) but may be considered for a recapture credit from other developers,
because this project is the prototype for stotiii water quality management for the school property.
12) Mr. Graff suggested the developer could be considered for a credit in land cash for the loss of
detention on the Matlock property.
13) Mr. Whitehouse stated if the trees were 6" or above, an inventory must be done if they are cut
down. Preliminary plat must show all trees 6" or above for a PUD.
14) FPA has been filed, and the water comes from the south central zone, from Meadowbrook. Plans
are to go through Meadowbrook,then Evergreen Farm, through Aspen Ridge, with a pump
station along Fox River Bluff.
15) The National Resource Information report needs to be turned in.
Anna Kurtzman comments
1) Lots 159 and 132 are triangle pieces and should be tested with house designs.
Joe Wywrot comments
1) Two of the ponds are smaller and should be considered dry basins.
2) Mr. Wywrot and Mr. Dhuse prefer the round, not teardrop design, for snow removal.
Eric Dhuse comments
1) At a T-intersection, the street light is preferred at the head of the T, as long as it does not
interfere with the water main (on the sewer side) or as close to the corner as possible.
Mr. Graff suggested that the developer obtain a historical street name from Jennifer in engineering.
The traffic study will assist the developers to determine what is considered regional and if there will
be credits on improvements. Mr. Sperling would like, at the earliest,to begin work at the site in the
fall.
The developer will be at EDC on February 17th.
Respectfully submitted,
Annette Williams

Subject: Building Permit Fee Waiver Request by Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District
I received a request by the Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District on January 21, 2005 asking
for consideration of three (3) items. Here is the department heads response to their request for
your consideration and review.
#1. The Public Works Department is recommending metering the connection for the filling
up of the water tanks, however,no charge for the water usage. The City needs to account
for all water usage that is why the Water Department is requesting to meter the
connection.
#2. The request for parking in the front yard set back needs to have a follnal request to be
filed for a variance. Bill Dettmer will assist the District with this request.
#3. The third request is to reduce or eliminate any fees associated with building their new
facility on Kennedy Road & McHugh Road. In the past the City has waived the city
portion of the fee however, any out of pocket expense the District would have to pay.
Also, the District would pay for the actual cost for the water meters.
Any further questions regarding this summary please contact me.

Dear Mr. Graff;
The Fire District would like an opinion on the following items from the United City
of Yorkville.
1. In our current station on Beaver Street, the city allowed us to have a separate
connection prior to the water meter for filling the water tanks on our vehicles. Will
this be allowed in the proposed station 2?
2. We currently are showing 3 parking stalls in the front of our station, on the North
side of the truck apron. These are intended to be used in case of somebody coming
to the station in an emergency. This would allow them a place to park, instead of
blocking the truck bay doors. Will this be allowed by the city?
3. Would the city consider eliminating or reducing any of the fees associated with
building our station, for permits, reviews etc.?
Thank you in advance for your consideration of the above mentioned items. If you have
any questions please feel free to contact me.
Sincer ly,
Timothy Fairfield
Assistant Chief

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
Between
KENDALL COUNTY AND OF
THIS AGREEMENT is made effective on the day of , 2005,
between Kendall County, Illinois, hereafter referred to as "COUNTY", and the of
, hereafter referred to as " ".
WHEREAS, rapid growth and development is occurring within the geographical boundaries of
Kendall County; and
WHEREAS, said growth is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, as evidenced by the
most recent NIPC estimate, which predicts a 2030 Kendall County population of approximately
180,000 people; and
WHEREAS, both the COUNTY and recognize that mobility for the burgeoning
population is critical for the health and welfare of its residents, stimulation and sustainability of
commercial interests, creation of jobs, and the overall economic stability and vitality of the
region; and
WHEREAS, the COUNTY, being a county subject to the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law,
must carefully and responsibly prioritize its investments in public safety, public health,
transportation, etc. in an effort to most efficiently serve the needs of the people. In doing so, the
COUNTY recognizes that it will be unable to financially address the growing transportation
needs of the County Highway System, as evidenced by the 2005-2030 Transportation
Improvement Plan, approved by the County Board on December 21, 2004; and
WHEREAS, both the COUNTY and , in the spirit of intergovernmental
cooperation, and pursuant to Article 7, Section 10 of the 1970 Constitution of the State of
Illinois, and pursuant to 5 ILCS 220/1, being the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, desire to
work together to address the anticipated shortfall in funding necessary improvements to the
County Highway System.
Now,THEREFORE,in consideration of the mutual obligations contained herein, the COUNTY
and agree as follows:
1. Through the prudent use of annexation agreements, will attempt to
negotiate with the developers of land within the corporate limits of
and within the geographical boundaries of Kendall County, Illinois, to cause payment
of a transportation fee for the improvement of County Highways. Said fee would be in
the amount of$1000 for each new residential unit, beginning in 2005, and would
increase, to account for inflation, at the rate of$25 per year. No county transportation
fee would be pursued for non-residential developments.
2. The COUNTY will continue to require the developers of land in Kendall County to
make site-specific improvements for access, signalization or other appurtenances on
County Highways that will be required as a direct result of said development. Site-
specific improvements are not anticipated to affect the collection of the transportation
fee,which is directed at the incremental impact of the development on the long-term
capacity needs of the County Highway facility. However, may, at
its discretion,negotiate or require the developer to construct a capacity improvement
on the County Highway that is beyond the site-specific needs of the development. In
so doing, may determine an appropriate reduction or elimination
of the transportation fee.
3. The COUNTY acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in the ordinances of
and/or annexation agreements, is not obligated
to cause the payment of money to the COUNTY. The COUNTY hereby requests that
continues to so negotiate the collection of a transportation fee
through the annexation agreement instrument. The COUNTY recognizes that
may, at its sole discretion, amend its ordinances or annexation
agreements or its practices to discontinue the payment of transportation fees to the
COUNTY.
4. That since has adopted an ordinance or a resolution providing for
contributions to the COUNTY by owners, subdividers, and developers of land desiring
to annex to , the COUNTY agrees that in the event a lawsuit is filed
against , the COUNTY and/or others by a developer that is
subdividing property, or by any other person, corporation or entity that challenges the
appropriateness, amount, timing(except for any timing delays due to
's failure to disburse monies in a reasonable time frame) or any
other aspect of the transportation fee contemplated by this Agreement that has been
paid or is due to the COUNTY pursuant to the terms of 's
ordinances,resolutions, or annexation agreements, then the COUNTY agrees to pay
any damages,judgments, amounts ordered to be refunded, and the costs and litigation
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred in defending such a lawsuit.
As a result of the indemnification provided under this Agreement, the COUNTY shall
name counsel and generally control the litigation. and the
COUNTY agree that pursuant to this Agreement, the COUNTY is responsible for any
liability which may attach to as a result of 's
collection or distribution of transportation fees to the COUNTY. In that regard, the
COUNTY agrees that it shall employ competent and skilled legal counsel to represent
the COUNTY and , and further covenants and agrees that it shall
keep MONTGOMERY fully advised as to the progress and status of the litigation.
More specifically, the COUNTY shall provide copies of all
pleadings filed in the litigation and shall consult regularly(and shall cause its attorneys
to consult regularly)with or its attorneys,as applicable, as to the
strategy for defending the lawsuit. In no event may any litigation be compromised or
settled by the COUNTY without at least thirty(30) days' prior notice to
. The COUNTY hereby authorizes its officers to sign any and all
such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the terms and conditions of this
agreement.
5. In the event that a final and non-appealable judicial determination is made by a court
of competent jurisdiction that contributions of money received by the COUNTY are,
in whole or in part, excessive, or otherwise unlawful or unenforceable, and either the
COUNTY or is ordered to return or repay such amounts. The
COUNTY or (if is still holding such funds)
shall promptly repay said amount to the person who procures such judgment together
with all other amounts judged by the court to be owing either from the COUNTY or
6. The COUNTY agrees that transportation fees collected by on
behalf of the COUNTY, will only be used for capital improvements on County
Highways that will benefit residents, either directly or indirectly, in the developments
from which the fees were collected. Monies may also be used on joint
state/county/municipal projects by mutual agreement if said project would have an
immediate or long-term benefit to the area from which fees were collected. Prior to
disbursement of any payments from to the COUNTY, the
COUNTY shall provide written documentation of the purposes for which the payment
shall be used. The Village shall have the right to refuse to disburse said funds unless
the COUNTY confirms that said payment shall be utilized for capital improvements,
as described herein, and will not be used for operational expenses. Although not
binding on the parties hereto, the COUNTY acknowledges that 's
stated preference is that all such highway improvements be within the boundaries of

COUNTY has received payments from under this Agreement, then
the COUNTY shall submit a report to describing the manner in
which the payments have been used. If the COUNTY fails to file such a report with -
, then may delay the payment of any additional
funds due to the COUNTY until such time as a full report containing adequate
information is transmitted to
7. This Agreement may be terminated by either party for any reason or no reason at all
upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the other evidencing the intention to so
terminate this Agreement. The termination of this Agreement shall not affect the
continuing obligation of the COUNTY to with regard to claims or
damages allegedly arising out of 's efforts prior to termination, or to
's obligation to distribute or the actual distribution of transportation
fees collected prior to the date of termination.
