The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by Chairman Munns.
1. Approval/Correction of Minutes: August 18, 2005
6. PC 2005-43 Daniel Laniosz— 10701 Route 71 —Annexation and Zoning—There
has been a petition to the city to rezone this piece of property to B3. This was voted
against by the Zoning Board with a 3 —4— 1 vote. B3 is the broadest category, and
there are some inappropriate uses for the future. Those uses could be deleted in a
development agreement. Alderwoman Burd questioned whether it might be better to
say what the Council would approve there rather than what they would not approve.
The neighboring resident, Bill Garrett brought his plat of survey. The acreage in
question has 2 acres currently zoned agricultural and 1.125 acres currently zoned
residential. This resident is asking the residential portion stay residential and is asking
for buffering from the commercial that would be next door. Currently the business
that is there is under special use in the county. This property currently has 2 violations
of ordinances. 1 violation is building without a permit and the other is for some Barb
wire fence on the property. Dallas Ingemunson has been representing Mr. Laniosz for
some time and Bill Dettmer has reviewed the property and Mr. Laniosz will remove
the barb wire. Mayor Prochaska pointed out that current ordinance would require
some sort of landscape buffering. Also, the current comprehensive plan does not
recognize commercial in that location. This will move on to the COW on November
1st with a list of allowed uses and special uses.
3. Building Permit Reports for August and September 2005—There was a revised
report for September passed out. These will move on to COW on Consent Agenda.
Page 2 of 3
4. PC 2005-32 Yorkwood Estates—Annexation and Zoning—The zoning Board voted
8 —0 in favor of annexation and zoning R2. A tree study will be done in the areas
where the trees will be disturbed. The lots on the South end will be 1/2 acre minimum
lots that will be built by custom builders. Some storm water management will be done
in the South East corner. There will be a fence near the pasture in the South West
corner. The residents in an existing subdivision do not want the road to connect to this
new subdivision. All the lots will be a minimum of 12,000 square feet. The utilities
will be in the front of the properties. There could be a dormant SSA put in place.
Mayor Prochaska would like to see it put on the people's titles that they are within so
many yards of an existing dog kennel. This will move on to the November 1"COW.
5. PC 2005—33 Chally Farm-Annexation and Zoning—The Zoning Board voted 8 —
0 for annexation and 6—2 for zoning. This would be a PUD with a B2 commercial
node. There were concerns from neighboring residents that were present. They did
not want to see a road connection into their subdivision because they were concerned
that the roads in Pavillion Heights were narrow roads with curves and no streetlights
and no sidewalks and people walk and ride their bicycles in the road. The connection
road could be a one way street or emergency access only. The residents of Pavillion
Heights were concerned with the lot sizes that would be backing up to their properties,
the lot sizes in Pavillion Heights are much larger than the ones that are proposed to be
built. Currently there is no buffer planned to go between the subdivisions. The
proposed houses would be 2,500—3,500 square foot homes. The residents of
Pavillion Heights were concerned with storm water runoff. There was also a concern
about the commercial area and buffering between the commercial and the existing
residential. The residents have previously submitted a petition that meets the 75% of
adjoining perimeter and would require the super majority vote of 6 out of 8 Aldermen.
A Historical Phase 1 study, required by the state, will be done. An Environmental
study will also be done. This will move on to COW on November 1St
7. Discussion of City Initiated Concept Plans—Mayor Prochaska met with Mike
Schoppe about a generic concept transportation plan of some areas of the city. It
would lay out where the main roads should go. The cost would be recaptured from
future developers. Water runoff areas could be identified as well as school sites. The
developers could be asked to help build the schools. This would not be as detailed as
a preliminary plan. A draft of a policy will go to the next COW on November 1St.
8. Plano Boundary Agreement Update—Mayor Roberts would like to see Yorkville
adopt the same amendment that Plano did in regards to the realignment of Ashe Road
and a subsequent boundary agreement with Sugar Grove. Sugar Grove should be
brought in on the discussion. Yorkville will hold off until there is a ruling from the
court.
2. Discussion of Future Incentive Programs to Attract Commercial/Industrial
Business to Yorkville—On the cover page Items 3 and 4 should be eliminated. The
ineligible businesses are not necessarily part of the future for Yorkville. The
businesses could be ranked. Lynn Dubajic did some surveying and also obtained a
policy from DeKalb. There is a tremendous amount of difference between Yorkville
and DeKalb and the policy is not helpful as written.
Page 3 of 3
Under Section 1 of the Policy, Eligible uses of Funds should read Uses that may be
considered eligible. The relocation would be if the company was completely brought
in from somewhere else,not a 211d location, and the move will cost money. Under
Incentive Parameters, #2 may not necessarily be 7 years,the amount of time may be
different for each case, but it must have a specific conclusion date. #3 should be
clarified or removed. All monies extended by the city shall be subject to
reimbursement by the petitioner rather than the developer. The end user will be
defined ahead of time. Just because it is applied for does not mean they will receive
the incentive. Commercial/Retail is sales tax targeted. Priority businesses would be
appliances &electronics (such as Best Buy or Circuit City) Furniture, New car, truck,
and motorized vehicles and used luxury cars, department stores, and sporting goods
stores. If"Higher End"merchandise is included who decides what high end is?
Priority locations do not need each individual intersection defined. It will now read:
Priority locations as defined in the Comprehensive plan: Rt 47 commercial nodes,
Downtown area, identified by outline of downtown TIF district, US Highway 34
commercial nodes, and Rt 71 commercial nodes. Ineligible businesses will be
eliminated. Section 2 will be eliminated. Section 3 refers to Industrial, Service,
Manufacturing, and Distribution Developments. The source of rebate is not defined
here. It could be in the form of Sales Tax, Real Estate Tax, or Utility Taxes. If they
go for this they could get more than if they would apply for a Real Estate Tax
Abatement. Could they possibly apply for both? Priority locations would be
Yorkville Business Center(near F.E. Wheaton Complex, Fox Industrial Park, and
Lincoln Prairie Industrial Park. The Incentive Parameters would mirror the ones for
Commercial and Retail. #2 will have a conclusion date,but not necessarily 7 years.
#3 should be clarified or deleted. Eligible Activities should be Uses that may be
considered eligible. Alderwoman Burd would like to see a similar program for small
business. They could receive real estate tax abatements, utility tax abatements. Or it
could be part of a pool of overall real estate taxes. The total revenue for a year would
have to have a cap. This would be a separate policy. New businesses would be given
priority and they would have to generate at least 2 jobs. They could use the money for
build out to improve, rehab, or remodel an existing building. This will get cleaned up
and brought back next month.
9. Additional Business—Alderwoman Burd asked who should be the liaison to the
Chamber Board. It was believed former City Administrator Tony Graff went to those
meetings. They are the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:30 am. Alderman Leslie was
volunteered for going to these meetings, and Alderman Munns would be the backup
liaison.
Alderwoman Burd volunteered to go to the Protect Kendall Now meetings as a liaison,
and Alderman Besco would be the backup liaison.
The Chamber Board and YEDC is having an event on November 4t'from 8 am— 11
am in the lower level of the Old Second Bank building. Everyone is encouraged to go.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:50 pm.

GOAL
"A market sensitive, balanced, diverse commercial/service base which can expand to
enhance the economic vitality and employment base of Yorkville, and broaden the range
of services offered to residents
OBJECTIVES
1. Establish and coordinate diversity in market sensitive, commercial development
ranging from 1) specialized commercial uses in the downtown,to 2) strategically
located convenience centers, and to 3) sub regional unified centers.
2. Plan commercial/office development adjacent to primary, secondary, or collector
thoroughfares to maximize accessibility and minimize disturbance of residential
areas.
3. Provide areas for commercial/office development which are adjacent to compatible
existing and future land uses.
4. Establish commercial development in areas that minimize negative impacts upon

avoid strip development.
7. Formulate design and development standards for commercial and office facilities to
promote attractive development.
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN UPDATE—SOUTHERN STUDY AREA

GOAL 2
"Ensure that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan provides for an adequate amount of non-
residential land use that is diversified so that future economic development opportunities
provide the City with a positive fiscal outlook."
OBJECTIVE
"Explore economic development opportunities related to the proposed Prairie Parkway,
taking advantage of the limited access points to the proposed thoroughfare."
GOAL 3
"Promote and encourage the creation and maintenance of local jobs."
OBJECTIVE
3.1 Utilize the Yorkville Economic Development Corporation(YEDC) to promote
Yorkville as an attractive and desirable place for businesses to locate.
3.2 Utilize the Economic Development Corporation and Chamber of Commerce to
work with the business community to maintain a healthy environment for
businesses to remain in Yorkville.
All requests for business incentives shall be evaluated by how many and how fully the
project meets these stated goals and objectives.

A POLICY FOR THE COLLECTION OF TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT FEES
FOR KENDALL COUNTY HIGHWAYS
- VILLAGE OF OSWEGO -
DRAFT
Background
The suburban Chicago region has been experiencing tremendous growth over the past few
decades. Kendall County and the municipalities within Kendall have recently become a part of
this growth trend, as evidenced by the recent revelation that Kendall County is the 2nd fastest
growing county in the nation. Additionally, the Chicago Area Transportation Study(CATS)has
now included all of Kendall County in its metropolitan planning area.
With this tremendous growth comes a myriad of issues, not the least of which is transportation
needs. More population means more traffic on the entire transportation network,including state,
county,municipal and township roadways.
An evaluation of the historical growth trends reveals that the vast majority of new residential
units are located within corporate limits. Kendall is no exception. In fact, in 2004, new
residential building starts in the unincorporated region of Kendall County represented less than
10% of the total new building starts county-wide.'
The Village of Oswego recognizes this impact on the municipal transportation network, and has
taken steps to address the municipal needs through implementation of the Roadway Capital
Improvements Cost Allocation &Recovery Program (2004). This program identifies capital
costs over a 5-year period and assigns some of this cost to new development, based on an
estimated number of new residential starts. Fees collected generally fund improvements on just
the municipal transportation system.
The Village of Oswego also recognizes that Kendall County, like most counties in Illinois, has
limited ability to collect fees from new municipal developments, even though those
developments contribute directly to the need for capacity-type improvements on the County
Highway System.
To remedy this inequity, the Village desires to adopt a policy that will address some of the
funding deficiencies on the County Highway System, by collecting fees from new residential
developments that will fund capital improvements on County Highways.
Fee Guidelines
As a rule, all residential developments would be subject to the collection of fees on behalf of the
County, even if they don't have frontage on a County Highway. This is because the average trip
from nearly every development in Oswego would involve travel on a County Highway. And
each new residential subdivision will have an incremental impact on the need for a capacity
improvement.
In general terms, it is more desirous to have larger developments, with significant frontage on a
County Highway, actually install the capacity improvements on the adjacent county highway,
rather than pay a fee that is collected by the Village. This tends to be a more efficient means of
realizing the capacity improvement. The cost of such a capacity improvement would be credited
to the developer, and if the cost is equal to or greater than the fees that would have been collected
through cash payments, then there would be no further obligation to pay transportation
development fees to the Village. Site specific improvements such as turning lanes, signals, etc.
that are directly attributable to the development are exempt from receiving any credit on the
transportation development fee. Smaller developments with limited frontage will be more likely
to simply pay the transportation development fee. Again, site specific improvements would not
yield any credit on the collection of fees. Upon collection of sufficient fees, the County will then
have the ability to let a contract for the capacity-type improvement.
The Village is supportive of the collection of a transportation fee on behalf of_Kendall. County,
but desires to guarantee that said fees will be spent only on improvements that will directly
benefit the residents of the Village. Therefore, the Village will collect and hold transportation
fees, and will only release fees to Kendall County upon mutual agreement on the scope and
extent of work to be completed on the County Highway.
Fee Calculation
The Kendall County 2005-2030 Transportation Improvement Plan identifies slightly more than
$21 million in needed capital improvements in the Oswego area(see Exhibit 1)2. These costs do
not include routine maintenance, but are all generally capacity-type improvements.
The Village of Oswego's Roadway Capital Improvements Cost Allocation &Recovery
document estimates 2470 new residential units in the 2004-2008 time period. In reviewing that
document today, the number of units appears under-estimated, since 890 new residential building
permits were issued in 2004.3
Another source of information that provides insight on anticipated development is the Village of
Oswego Comprehensive Plan, which is currently being updated by the Lannert Group. Although
the plan will probably only be relevant for the next 5-years due to the rate of development,it
does identify the ultimate expected build-out for Oswego, considering current municipal
boundary agreements and assumed residential densities. That build-out would yield a total
Village population of approximately 70,000 people.4 The 2005 population is estimated at nearly
20,000, so approximately 50,000 additional people could move to Oswego in the coming years.
In an attempt to marry the County Transportation Plan to the Village Comprehensive Plan, this
policy assumes that the Village will, for all practical purposes,reach "build-out" by 2030.
Therefore, all the transportation projects identified in the County Plan will need to be
constructed, at a cost of$21,050,000 in 2005 dollars.
50,000 people = 2.79 people/units = ± 17,921 units
$21,050,000 = 17,921 units = $1175/unit
Conclusion
An efficient transportation network will undoubtedly be one of the key issues facing Oswego for
the foreseeable future. And both Village of Oswego and Kendall County will need to partner
their efforts to insure the necessary steps are taken to provide a safe and efficient transportation
network that will continue to stimulate the local economy.
For these reasons, the Village of Oswego hereby agrees to negotiate in good faith with new
residential developments in an attempt to collect transportation development fees consistent with
the context herein. Specifically, the Village will attempt to negotiate the collection of not less
than $1175 per residential unit for all new developments negotiated in the years 2005 or earlier,
or will negotiate the actual construction of the capacity-type improvement by the developer. An
inflator of 3% per year, effective January 1, 2006 and each subsequent January 1st shall be added
to the $1175 (see table below).
This policy will be reevaluated as agreed by both the Village of Oswego and Kendall County.

2005 or earlier $1,175
