1. PZC 2017-14 Centex Real Estate Company, LLC, petitioner has filed an
application with the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois,
requesting final plat amendment approval for the resubdivision of Bristol
Bay Units 9 and 11. The real property is located within the northeast
quadrant of Illinois Route 47 (Bridge) and Galena Road in Yorkville.
Mr. Getz said Centex is requesting replatting of units 9 and 11 which were originally
platted for condos until the recession occurred. Going forward, the condo market seems
to be poor. They wish to close out the built portions and turn over to the HOA. The rest

Proposal Summary
Staff has reviewed a request from Kendall County Planning and Zoning Department along with the
subsequent documents attached. This property is located within one and a half miles of the planning
boundary for Yorkville, allowing us the opportunity to review and provide comments to Kendall
County. The petitioners, Keith and Kathleen Warpinski, are requesting a map amendment rezone for
their property from A-1 Agricultural District to R-1 Residential District. Petitioners would like to
construct a single family home in the future and may not do so due to the zoning requirements of the
agricultural district in Kendall County. The 6.9 acre property is located at the north side of Walker
Road approximately 0.31 miles east of Route 47.
As stated in the petitioner’s findings of fact,
they believe the use is compatible with other
nearby uses in the area as the adjacent properties
have single family homes constructed upon
them. The petitioners state that the subject
property is not suitable by site acreage nor site
usage for current modern row crop farming
practices. The petitioners believe the
construction of a single family home would be
consistent with the adjacent rural residential
uses.
Yorkville Comprehensive Plan
Yorkville’s current 2016 Comprehensive Plan
designation for this property is agricultural
which is intended to allow for farming and open
space uses. The plan states that environmentally
sensitive areas such as tree groves, wetlands,
and poorly drained areas will be protected from
development during the Comprehensive Plan’s
time horizon. The petitioner has attached a
Natural Resource Information Executive
Summary to their application which includes a
Kendall County Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA). The LESA determines the suitability
of a land use change or zoning request as it relates to agricultural land. The results of the assessment
concluded that the property is considered to need a low level of protection. This means that the
change in land use will have a small effect on surrounding agricultural uses.
Memorandum
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
Date: February 26, 2018
Subject: PZC 2018-01 – Kendall County Case #18-05 (Rezone) 1.5 Mile Review
Integrated Transportation Plan
Yorkville’s Integrated Transportation Plan (ITP) designates a trail along the Aux Sable Creek and
one along the north side of Walker Road. In the future if the construction of these trails becomes a
reality, the City would like to make it aware at this moment to the interested parties that there are
future plans for these trails though the property and right-of-way designations may be requested in
the future.
Staff Recommendation & Comments
Staff has reviewed the request for rezone and does not have an objection to the petitioner’s request.
After reviewing the Comprehensive Plan, the land use will be compatible with future land uses at this
location according to the plan. Additionally, the property is not currently adjacent to the Yorkville
Municipal Boundary and therefore annexation of this property in the near future is very unlikely. If
the property is annexed into the City at some point in the future, it would most likely be for a larger
development and this land use would be replaced.
Staff will be available to answer any questions the Planning and Zoning Commission may have
regarding the County Petition. This item was delivered to the City on February 22, 2018 with
feedback requested prior to Kendall County Board consideration.

ZPAC Memo – Prepared by Matt Asselmeier –February 20, 2018 Page 3 of 3
UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE
Petition information was sent to the United City of Yorkville 2.20.18.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The petitioner desires the map amendment in order to have the ability to construct a house on the property at
some point in the future. The subject property does not have an allocation for the construction of a home and
does not possess forty (40) acres. Therefore, a map amendment is required in order to construct a home
onsite.
The petitioner does not believe that the property is large enough for farming. Pictures of the property are
included.
The Land Resource Management Plan calls for this area to be rural residential in the future. Existing single-
family homes are located around the subject property. For these reasons, Staff does not believe that the
approval of this request would constitute spot zoning.
The property is currently for sale.
BUILDING CODES
Any new homes or accessory structures would be required to meet applicable building codes.
ACCESS
The property fronts Walker Road. Pending comments from Kendall Township, Staff has no concerns
regarding the ability of Walker Road to support a proposed home at this location.
ODORS
No new odors are foreseen.
LIGHTING
Any new lighting would be for residential use only. Staff does not foresee any concerns regarding lighting.
SCREENING
No fencing or buffer is presently planned for the property. Any new fences or plantings would be for a
residential use. Any new fences would have to follow applicable regulations.
STORMWATER
The northern portion of the property touches the Middle Aux Sable Creek. Any new homes would have to be
constructed per Kendall County’s Stormwater Management Ordinance.
UTILITIES
Electricity is near the property. A new well and septic system would have to obtain applicable permits.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed map amendment.

Based on information from the United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service
(USDA-NRCS) 2008 Kendall County Soil Survey, this parcel is shown to contain the following soil types (please note
this does not replace the need for or results of onsite soil testing; please refer to onsite soil test results for
planning/engineering purposes):

Hydrologic Soil Groups: Soils have been classified into four (A, B, C, D) hydrologic groups based on runoff
characteristics due to rainfall. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D or C/D), the first letter is for
drained areas and the second letter is for undrained areas.
Hydrologic group A: Soils have a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These
consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high
rate of water transmission.
Hydrologic group B: Soils have a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet, consist chiefly of
moderately deep to deep, moderately well drained to well drained soils that have a moderately fine to
moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Hydrologic group C: Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils
having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine
texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission.
Hydrologic group D: Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet.
These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a high water table,
have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
Hydric Soils: A soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the
growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part of the soil profile. Of the soils found onsite,
152A Drummer silty clay loam is classified as a hydric soil.
Prime Farmland: Prime farmland is land that has the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for
agricultural production. Prime farmland soils are an important resource to Kendall County and some of the most
productive soils in the United States occur locally. Of the soils found onsite, two are designated as prime farmland:
152A Drummer silty clay loam and 145B Saybrook silt loam.

Surface Runoff: Refers to the loss of water from an area by flow over the land surface. Surface runoff classes are
based upon slope, climate and vegetative cover. Indicates relative runoff for very specific conditions (it is assumed
that the surface of the soil is bare and that the retention of surface water resulting from irregularities in the
ground surface is minimal).
Ponding: Ponding is standing water in a closed depression. Unless a drainage system is installed, the water is
removed only by percolation, transpiration or evaporation. Duration is expressed as very brief (less than 2 days),
brief (2 to 7 days), long (7 to 30 days), very long (more than 30 days). Frequency is expressed as none (ponding is
not probable), rare (unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions), occasional (occurs, on average, once
or less in 2 years) and frequent (occurs, on average, more than once in 2 years).
Flooding: Temporary inundation of an area caused by overflowing streams, by runoff from adjacent slopes, or
by tides. Water standing for short periods after rainfall or snowmelt is not considered flooding, and water
standing in swamps and marshes is considered ponding rather than flooding. Duration expressed as brief is 2
to 7 days and a frequent frequency means that it is likely to occur often under normal weather conditions.
SOIL LIMITATIONS:
According to the USDA-NRCS, soil properties influence the development of building sites, including the
selection of the site, the design of the structure, construction, performance after construction and
maintenance. This report gives ratings for proposed uses in terms of limitations and restrictive features. The
tables list only the most restrictive features. Ratings are based on the soil in an undisturbed state, that is, no
unusual modification occurs other than that which is considered normal practice for the rated use. Even
though soils may have limitations, an engineer may alter soil features or adjust building plans for a structure to
compensate for most degrees of limitations. The final decision in selecting a site for a particular use generally
involves weighing the costs for site preparation and maintenance.
Not Limited: Indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use; good performance
and low maintenance can be expected.
Somewhat Limited: Indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The
limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design or installation; fair performance and
moderate maintenance can be expected.
Very Limited: Indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The
limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or expensive
installation procedures; poor performance and high maintenance can be expected.
Conventional Septic System Rating Criteria:
The factors considered are the characteristics and qualities of the soil that affect the limitations for absorbing
waste from domestic sewage disposal systems. Soils that are deemed unsuitable for installation of an on-site
sewage disposal system per the Kendall County Subdivision Control Ordinance may necessitate the installation
of a non-conventional onsite sewage disposal system. For more information please contact: Kendall County
Health Department located at 811 W. John Street, Yorkville, IL; (630)553-9100 ext. 8026.
Limitations are listed below for dwellings with basements, dwellings without basements, and conventional
sewage disposal systems. Please note this information is based on information compiled as part of the USDA-
NRCS 2008 Soil Survey of Kendall County, IL and the Kendall County Subdivision Control Ordinance; this does
not replace the need for site specific soil testing or results of onsite soil testing.

Kendall County Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA):
Decision-makers in Kendall County use the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) system to determine
the suitability of a land use change and/or a zoning request as it relates to agricultural land. The LESA system
was developed by the United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service
(USDA-NRCS) and takes into consideration local conditions such as physical characteristics of the land,
compatibility of surrounding land-uses, and urban growth factors. The LESA system is a two-step procedure
that includes:
LAND EVALUATION (LE) – The soils of a given area are rated and placed in groups ranging from the best to worst
suited for a stated agriculture use, cropland or forestland. The best group is assigned a value of 100 and all other
groups are assigned lower values. The Land Evaluation is based on data from the Kendall County Soil Survey. The
Kendall County Soil and Water Conservation District is responsible for this portion of the LESA system.
SITE ASSESSMENT (SA) – The site is numerically evaluated according to important factors that contribute to the
quality of the site. Each factor selected is assigned values in accordance with the local needs and objectives. The
Kendall County LESA Committee is responsible for this portion of the LESA system.
Table 4a: Land Evaluation Computation
The Land Evaluation score for this site is 98, indicating that this site is predominately prime
farmland well suited for agricultural production.

Site Assessment Score: 102
Land Evaluation Value: 98 + Site Assessment Value: 102 = LESA Score: 200
The LESA Score for this site is 200 which indicates a low level of protection for the proposed project site. Note:
Selecting the project site with the lowest total points will generally protect the best farmland located in the most
viable areas and maintain and promote the agricultural industry in Kendall County.

Wetlands: The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s National Wetland Inventory map does not indicate the presence of a
wetland on the project site. If a wetland is present and will be impacted by the project, a wetland delineation specialist,
who is recognized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, should determine the exact boundaries and value of the wetlands.
Floodplain: A portion of the parcel is located within the floodplain.
Sediment and Erosion Control: Development on this site should include an erosion and sediment control plan in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Soil erosion on construction sites is a resource concern because
suspended sediment from areas undergoing development is a primary nonpoint source of water pollution. Please consult
the Illinois Urban Manual (http://www.aiswcd.org/illinois-urban-manual/) for appropriate best management practices.

LAND USE OPINION:
The Kendall County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) Board has reviewed the proposed
development plans for Petitioner Keith & Kathleen Warpinski for the proposed Warpinski project. This parcel is
located in Section 21 of Kendall Township (T.36N.-R.7E. of the 3rd Principal Meridian) in Kendall County. Based
on the information provided by the petitioner and a review of natural resource related data available to the
Kendall County SWCD, the SWCD Board has the following opinions and recommendations.
The Kendall County SWCD has always had the opinion that Prime Farmland should be preserved whenever
feasible. A land evaluation, which is a part of the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) was conducted on
this parcel. The soils on this parcel scored a 99 out of a possible 100 points indicating the soils found on the
project site are predominately prime farmland well suited for agricultural production. Overall, the LESA score
was 200 indicating a low level of protection as selecting a project site with the lowest total points will generally
protect the best farmland located in the most viable areas and maintain and promote the agricultural industry
in Kendall County. Of the soils identified onsite, two (145B and 152A) are designated as prime farmland; the
remaining soil (60C2) is noted as farmland of statewide importance.
For proposed land uses, soils can have potential limitations. This report indicates that for soils located on
the parcel, 72% of the soils are very limited for dwellings with basements; 68% of the soils are very limited for
dwellings without basements, small commercial building and conventional septic systems. This information is
based on the soil in an undisturbed state and does not replace the need for site specific soil testing. Some soil
reclamation, special design, or maintenance may be required to obtain suitable soil conditions to support
development with significant limitations. Additionally, if the scope of the project includes the use of onsite
septic systems, please consult with the Kendall County Health Department.
This site is located within the Illinois River Watershed and Middle Branch Aux Sable Creek subwatershed.
This development should include a soil erosion sediment control plan to be implemented during
construction. Sediment may become a primary non-point source of pollution. Eroded soils during the
construction phase can create unsafe conditions on roadways, degrade water quality and destroy aquatic
ecosystems lower in the watershed.
For intense project uses it may be necessary to have a drainage tile survey completed on the parcel to
locate any subsurface drainage tile if suspected onsite. Drainage tile expedites drainage and facilitates farming.
It is imperative that these drainage tiles remain undisturbed. Impaired tile may affect a few acres or hundreds
of acres of drainage.
The information that is included in this Natural Resources Information Report is to assure the Land
Developers take into full consideration the limitations of that land that they wish to develop. Guidelines and
recommendations are also a part of this report and should be considered in the planning process. The Natural
Resource Information Report is required by the Illinois Soil and Water Conservation District Act (Ill. Complied
Statues, Ch. 70, Par 405/22.02a).

Making, Adopting and Amending Motions: a guide for Presiding Officers and Assembly Members

September 2017
Main Motion•RONR-IB Chapter 3
•Introduction brings business before an assembly
•No debate on a matter before a motion has been
made
•Only one main motion may be before the
assembly for action at a time
How you get to speak at a meeting
•Stand after previous speaker has finished
•“Madam(Mister) President” or appropriate title
•Chair recognizes you by stating your name or
title
•You now have the floor
•When you are finished, you sit down, and thus
yield the floor
How to make a motion•Once you obtain the floor simply state “I move that…”
•Important to state precisely the words of the motion
•Chair can assist with wording if needed
•Exact wording to be voted on to be put in the minutes by
the Secretary
•Good practice to write out your motion, sometimes
required by the chair, or assembly rules
•Immediately sit after making motion, wait to give
reasons for proposal
Next steps for motion•Once a member makes a motion, another
member must second the motion for the motion
to be considered by the group
•Seconder does not necessarily have to agree,
just means they want to discuss the motion
•Member simply calls out “Second!” from their
seat, you do not have to be recognized
Stating the Question•Once a motion has been moved and seconded, the chair
states the question
•Chair simply says “It is moved and seconded that…”
•Once the chair states the question, it is before the group for
consideration, important for two reasons:
•First, the group must know exactly what is being proposed
•Second, the chair must determine if the motion is in order at
the time, and the chair must ensure the motion is clearly
phrased.
Script for motions•Member A: (standing) Madam Chair!
•Chair: The chair recognizes Member A
•Member A: I move that the City of Yorkville buy
the secretary a new computer. (member sits)
•Member B: Second!
•Chair: It is moved and seconded that the City of
Yorkville buy the secretary a new computer. Are
you ready for the question?
Debate•RONR-IB Chapter 4
•Means the discussion on the merits of the question- that
is whether the proposed action should or should not be
taken.
•Chair normally turns towards the maker of the motion to
see if he or she wishes to be assigned the floor first.
•RONR allows debate twice on any debatable motion for
10 minutes each time on the same day.
•Cannot save time or transfer it to someone else.
Debate•Who gets preference in Recognition to Debate?
•Generally, the Chair should recognize the first person who
rises first after the previous speaker has finished and sat
down.
•Maker of the motion has the right to speak first, immediately
after the chair has stated the motion.
•Member cannot speak a second time until everyone who
wants to speak has had a chance to speak first.
•If the chair knows speakers have opposing opinions, he or she
should try to alternate between speakers who favor the
motion and those who oppose the motion.
Debate•Debate must be germane, meaning that your remarks must
have bearing on whether or not the pending motion should be
adopted. Going off on irrelevant topics is not in order.
•Debate issues, not personalities. No personal attacks towards
opposing views. Cannot debate by saying someone else’s
statement is false. “I believe there is strong evidence that the
member is mistaken”
•Speak directly to the chair, not other members. Do not
address a member by name telling them their statement is
ridiculous. Instead address the chair “The last speaker’s point
did not make sense”
•Ask questions of another member through the chair as well.
Putting the Question•When no one else seeks recognition to debate, the chair may
ask “Are you ready for the Question?” Or “Is there any
further debate?”
•Chair then states “The question is on the adoption of the
motion that the City of Yorkville buy the secretary a new
computer”
•Most main motions require a majority vote, chair to give
directions on what vote is required, some require a 2/3 vote
•Abstentions do not count, only number of votes cast
•Most common type of voting is voice vote. The chair says “All
those in favor, say aye.” Those is favor stay seated and call
out “aye”
•Chair then states “All those opposed, say no.” The opponents
say “no.”
Announcing result of vote•After voting is complete, chair announces result:
1) reports which side “has it”
2) declares that the motion is adopted or
lost; and
3) indicates the effect of the vote, if needed
•Immediately after announcing the result of the
vote, the chair announces the next item of
business, when applicable.
Script for voting on a question•Chair: Are you ready for the question? (Pause)
The question is on the adoption of the motion that the City
of Yorkville buy the secretary a new computer.
Those in favor say aye. (Pause)
Those in favor say no. (Pause)
The ayes (noes) have it and the motion is adopted (lost). The
City of Yorkville will (will not) buy the secretary a new
computer.
The next item of business is _____.
OR
Is there further new business?
Amendments•RONR-IB chapter 5
•Member can agree with the idea of a main motion, but wants
to improve it.
•Modifies the wording, and within limits, often the meaning of
the motion.
•Amendments must say exactly where in the main motion the
change is to be made and precisely what words to use.
•Often required that amendments be submitted in writing.
•Vote on an amendment does not decide if the main motion is
adopted, only whether the wording in the main motion will be
changed.
Amendments-Insert or Add
•Insert or add words
Motion to add words at the ends of a motion or insert words in
between other words.
Main Motion is:
“That the committee hosts a dinner in August.”
You want the motion to read:
“That the committee host a dinner in honor of the Mayor in August.”
This requires inserting the words “in honor of the Mayor” after
“dinner.”
Amendments-Insert or Add•After being recognized by the chair, you say, “I move to insert the
words ‘in honor of the mayor’after the word dinner.”
(If you wanted words to be put at the end of the motion, you would
say “I move to add the word(s)…”
Some other member must second the amendment, the chair states it,
and debate goes on as in a main motion. The chair then puts the
question on the amendment to a vote. The chair:
1)States the amendment;
2)Gives the main motion as it would read if the amendment were to
be adopted; and
3)Makes clear once more what the amendment that is to be
debated or voted on.
Amendment-Insert, scriptChair:The question is on the motion “That the committee
hosts a dinner in August.” Are you ready for the question?”
Member A: (Stands) Madam President!
Chair:The chair recognizes Member A.
Member A: I move to insert the words “in honor of the mayor”
after dinner. (Sits when finished)
Another member: (seated) Second!
Chair: It is moved and seconded that the words “in honor of
the mayor” are inserted after dinner. If the amendment is
adopted, the motion will read “That the committee hosts a
dinner in honor of the mayor in August.” The question is on
inserting the words “in honor of the mayor.”
Amendment-Insert, script(Debate)
Chair: Are you ready for the question?... The question is on
inserting the words “in honor of the mayor” after “dinner.” If
the amendment is adopted the main motion will read “That
the committee hosts a dinner in honor of the mayor in
August.” Those in favor of inserting the words “in honor of the
mayor” says aye.
Some members (seated): Aye!
Chair: Those opposed, say no.
Other members (seated): No!
Chair: The ayes have it, and the amendment is adopted. The
question is now on the main motion as amended, “That the
committee hosts a dinner in honor of the mayor in August.” Is
there any further debate?
Amendment-Insert Script•(Debate)
•Chair: “Are you ready for the question?” (pause) “The
question is ‘That the committee hosts a dinner in honor of
the mayor in August’; “All those in favor say ‘aye’
•Most members (seated): Ay e!
•Chair: Those opposed, say no.
•Other members (seated): No!
•Chair: “The ayes have it, and the committee will host a
dinner in honor of the mayor in August”
Dealing with Challenging attendees
•The chair must remain calm
•Do not raise voice louder than the attendee
•Do no bang gavel
•Politely remind attendee of rules
•If it is known that there will be controversy at a meeting, good
idea to have a sergeant at arms, security or police personnel
that is willing to escort disruptive attendees from the room
Dealing with Challenging attendees
•When there is an expectation for a challenging or potentially
controversial meeting, extra preparation is warranted. Most of
us don’t respond well to surprises, and this statement is never
truer than in meetings. When there is potential for
controversy, get the key people together and review the
agenda, item by item. During that review of each item on the
agenda, ask the “what if” questions and determine how to
handle them. Try to be creative in figuring out what could
possibly happen and how to handle it. Remember, you cannot
possibly think of every “what if”, but if you practice how to
handle them, you are much more prepared for the meeting
-Nancy Sylvester, MA, PRP, CPP-T
Dealing with Challenging attendees

minded, help group come to best decision
