10 on tonight ' s agenda, the official petitioner,

19 MR . ENGBERG: All right . So this is a
20 petition for PZC 2018-17 . It ' s a Staff request
21 text amendment to our Zoning Ordinance Chapter
22 20, Signs .
23 This comes out of a decision made in
24 March of this year, the Heritage sign on 129

1 Commercial Drive . Staff has been interpreting
2 our measurements along building mounted signage
3 one way; the petitioner felt it was not clear in
4 our writings in the Zoning Ordinance how he
5 interpreted our measurement .
6 At the end of that meeting, at the
7 end of that meeting, we decided that the
8 petitioner could keep their sign up and that
9 Staff would rewrite and clarify what we have as
10 the intention for the language within the Zoning
11 Ordinance .
12 The memo submitted in the packet
13 goes over the need for the clarification . There
14 is many newer buildings that have architectural
15 features, expression lines, and a lot of
16 different depths, so it ' s very difficult to
17 tell the common separate wall and what ' s, you
18 know defined as an architectural feature or a
19 column .
20 There is a couple graphics there
21 that show kind of the intent of the sign
22 ordinance to have things somewhat centered or
23 still offer a lot of options, but make sure that
24 things aren ' t right up against the edge or right

1 up, you know, nearly the top of the roof .
2 Staff conducted research on how many
3 of our neighbors handle this kind of thing :
4 Montgomery, Aurora, Oswego, Plainfield,
5 Naperville, Sugar Grove . There is more detail in
6 there on how each one handles it .
7 To summarize, many of the
8 communities around us handle building mounted
9 signage like we do, as a percentage of linear
10 footage of the front .
11 Not many of them, though, other than
12 Sugar Grove, really comes on to what ' s a facade
13 and what ' s a wall . So we kind of had to use APA
14 references, some of their language, and just some
15 of our own inner workings, common sense, on what
16 we should propose .
17 So actually moving on to the actual
18 language we ' re trying to change, I ' ll go over it
19 very quickly, and then there is several different
20 sections within the code we would be changing,
21 the first being the General Provisions, which is
22 1020-6 .
23 This goes over now what ' s a wall and
24 what ' s a facade . For the most important part,
Vitosh Deporting Service

PZC - October 10, 2018 - Public Hearing

1 you know, we consider it now that anything
2 jutting out in depth more than four feet will now
3 be considered a wall as long as its facing that
4 same property line .
5 Anything less will just be
6 considered an architectural feature and not a
7 separate wall . It would still be the same plane .
8 We got to that conclusion just on
9 the basis of four feet would be about the maximum
10 opening for a new door, so if you have a jut-out
11 and a door can come in the side, it kind of makes
12 sense that those are now separate -- separate
13 walls .
14 We also added a little language in
15 there in terms of angles ; while, you know, not
16 everybody building has a 90-degree angle where
17 these two walls meet, anything less than
18 135 degrees will be considered two walls,
19 anything greater than 135 degrees will be
20 considered one continuous .
21 That language is confusing, so there
22 are many photos and graphics in here that we
23 designed to hopefully really articulate what we
24 mean by that, so these were all added to kind of

1 show the different ways things will get measured .
2 And then just to clarify more so in
3 20-9 and 20-10 , we are changing some of the
4 language to get rid of the facade, and we are
5 talking about exterior walls, because a facade
6 can have more than one exterior wall now.
7 Additionally, we had a provision to
8 keep that your sign must be one foot from either
9 the vertical or horizontal edge of the building
10 or wall .
11 DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OLSON : We kept that you
12 said?
13 MR. ENGBERG: So we added that because
14 technically in our language we have where you
15 can ' t go 75 percent more than the width, but you
16 could then pull that all the way to the edge of
17 the building, which is kind of against what we --
18 the whole point of that 75 percent was to keep
19 things off the edges .
20 This way, by saying this , now you
21 know you can ' t go right up to the edge, and that
22 was just pretty much changed for the business
23 zonings and for the manufacturing districts .
24 Also language was added about not

1 being able to transfer sign area between the two

3 MR. MARCUM: Okay. That ' s the part I
4 need clarification on . If I may interrupt now,
5 that ' s the part I want clarification on .
6 MR. ENGBERG: Sure .
7 MR. MARCUM: The business cannot
8 transfer sign area between its adjoining and
9 exterior walls . I 'm not sure what you ' re trying
10 to say there .
I1 MR. ENGBERG : So let ' s say there is a
12 facade with a front, but there is two exterior
13 walls , because one is set back, one is set over
14 ten feet .
15 You can ' t say oh, I 'm allowed 100
16 square feet of sign on each wall, or on one wall
17 you ' re allowed 50 square feet, on the other one
18 you ' re allowed 30 square feet, right?
19 You can ' t take calculations from
20 this wall and switch it onto the smaller wall
21 because on the facade you would technically just
22 add it all up, put it on wherever you want .
23 . Now that we are doing separate
24 exterior walls , if you have two walls, each wall

1 has its own measurement . You can' t take from the
2 larger just so you can have a larger sign on the
3 smaller wall .
4 MS . HORAZ : I have a question in this
5 example here . It looks like it ' s taken off more
6 than 75 percent . I don ' t know what page it ' s on.
7 MR. ENGBERG: That ' s -- So all the stuff
8 that says potential sign area --
9 MS . HORAZ : Yeah.
10 MR. ENGBERG: -- are larger than
I1 75 percent . It ' s just to show that the area --
12 the place you can put a sign.
13 MS . HORAZ : So it wouldn ' t be this big?
14 MR. ENGBERG: Correct .
15 MS . HORAZ : Because that ' s what --
16 MR. ENGBERG: Same with all of the --
17 same on example two . That would be way too much
18 signage .
19 MS . HORAZ : And this one down the side
20 too --
21 MR. ENGBERG: Right .
22 MS . HORAZ : -- it ' s kind of crazy.
23 MR. ENGBERG: Right, but if you had a

1 go anywhere in that area .
2 Yes . Any other questions? I was
3 just going to say so this is our Staff
4 recommendation on it, and any other questions or
5 concerns or anything you want to add?
6 MS . HORAZ : I see you ' re going to put a
7 time limit on the ones that are exceeding the
8 revision? What is it, five years?
9 MR. ENGBERG: Amortization is five years
10 for the ones that are not compliant .
11 MS . HORAZ : And what if somebody came to
12 us and said well, you let this person here .
13 MR. ENGBERG: It ' s the same as we
14 answered when they came in and said hey, this
15 business has it, you know.
16 It ' s one of those things that if we
17 just say hey, we noticed that, it ' s under
18 amortization for five years and will be notified
19 they will need to conform.
20 MS . NOBLE : The Heritage sign won ' t --
21 MR. ENGBERG: The Heritage sign will
22 not --
23 MS . NOBLE : -- because in essence --
24 MS . HORAZ : It was caught .

PZC - October 10, 2018 - Public Hearing
14
1 MS . NOBLE : Well , no . In essence you
2 granted them approval of the sign . So they
3 appealed our denial and they came before this
4 body and this body allowed them to put the sign,
5 so they are not amortized. They are allowed to
6 keep their sign . Anyone else, a couple of
7 examples , unless they come in and ask for relief,
8 but in that instance, they would then have to
9 seek a variance because that was an
10 interpretation . This is now clearly --
I1 MS . HORAZ : I don' t like when things
12 look cluttered . It doesn ' t appeal from the
13 street .
14 MS . NOBLE : And to go back to your
15 question, Don, about the two walls , a good
16 example would be example number two .
17 The depth was less than four feet,
18 so that ' s one continuous wall .
19 MR. ENGBERG : Correct .
20 MS . NOBLE : Had the depth been greater
21 than four feet, they can ' t say I ' ve got 100
22 linear feet so I have 75 square feet, I want to
23 put it all on this facade on this side .
24 MR. MARCUM: Okay.

3 DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OLSON : Six foot tall
4 corners .
5 MR. ENGBERG : Correct .
6 MS . NOBLE : They would have to split
7 that between the two .
8 MS . HORAZ : How does that look

10 MS . NOBLE : Well --

12 MS . HORAZ : When you split a sign.
13 MS . NOBLE : Well, you wouldn ' t split the
14 sign.
15 MR. ENGBERG: No, you wouldn ' t split .
16 What she was saying is example two --
17 MS . HORAZ : Okay .
18 MR. ENGBERG : -- since that depth along
19 that lot line is less than four feet, that ' s
20 considered one side, one exterior wall, which is
21 how petitioner was kind of explaining everything,
22 saying oh, even if there ' s a huge depth, it ' s one
23 wall, so what we ' re saying is for that purpose,
24 for example two, that measurement for your

1 exterior wall is let ' s say a hundred feet, then
2 you get one square foot for every foot, then you
3 get 100 square feet of signage, and it still has
4 to conform, it can ' t be 75 percent with the
5 entire wall, you still have to be --
6 MS . HORAZ : Your example isn ' t very
7 good.
8 MS . NOBLE : So to your question, they
9 wouldn ' t split a sign . What they would do is
10 they would make the sign conform to the size of
11 the facade that they were putting it on, so
12 instead of getting a very large sign, they would
13 have a very scaled down sign to fit the side .
14 MS . HORAZ : Are these the examples that
15 are going to go in the book?
16 MS . NOBLE : No, these aren ' t going to go
17 in the book .
18 MR. ENGBERG: Are these?
19 MS . NOBLE : Are these examples going in

6 confused when they look at it .
7 MR. MARCUM: Yeah, that would look

9 MR. ENGBERG: That ' s why we put

12 measurements on it, it ' s not an exact science .
13 It was just a potential sign area .

BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The petitioner, Marker Inc., is requesting an amendment to the Heartland Subdivision Planned Unit
Development to reduce the interior side yard setback from twenty (20) feet to ten (10) feet on Lot 187 of
the subdivision. Additionally, the petitioner is requesting to increase the maximum allowable height of a
permitted fence in a business district from six (6) feet to eight (8) feet. Lot 187 is generally located at the
southwest corner of the intersection of US Route 34 and McHugh Road.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The petitioner did send notice of the November 14, 2018 public hearing within the required time frame as
determined by City Ordinance. Several requests for additional materials have been made by staff and the
Economic Development Committee. Due to the short amount of time for the petitioner to produce these
materials, staff is recommending that the public hearing for this item not be opened and moved to the
December 12, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
Proposed Motion
There are 2 Public Hearings scheduled for tonight’s Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting.
While there are 2 public hearings on tonight’s agenda, a petitioner, Marker, Inc., has not provided
staff with additional requested submittal materials for PZC 2018-18 before tonight’s scheduled public
hearing date. Therefore, the public hearing for PZC 2018-18 will not be opened for discussion and
testimony will not be taken at tonight’s meeting.
May I have a motion to move the public hearing scheduled for PZC 2018-18 from the November 14,
2018 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to the December 12, 2018 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting at the same time and place as the originally planned hearing?
Memorandum
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
Date: November 7, 2018
Subject: PZC 2018-18 Heartland 3rd PUD Amendment (Text Amendment)
BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant, GRNE Solar on behalf of Kendall County, is requesting special use permit approval to
construct a freestanding solar farm at the Kendall County Government Center at 810 John Street. The
solar farm is being proposed to be located on approximately 7.4 acres of vacant land at the southwest
corner of the Kendall County Government Campus south of John Street. There are no plans to build on
the 4.4 acre private storm water drainage facility near the intersection of Beecher Road and Route 34.
The subject property is currently zoned O Office District and the solar farm will be part of the existing
Kendall County Government Center. Structures existing within the Center include the County
Courthouse, County Jail, and the County Health Department. The solar farm site will be directly north of
the Blackberry Woods residential subdivision in Yorkville.
Memorandum
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner
CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
Date: November 7, 2018
Subject: PZC 2018-07 GRNE Solar – Kendall County Government Campus
(Special Use)
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The existing zoning and land use for properties surrounding the subject property are as indicated below:
Zoning Land Use
North B-3 General Business District Kendall Marketplace Shopping Center
South R-2 Traditional Residential District Single Family Homes | Blackberry Woods
East O Office District Kendall County Government Campus
West B-3 General Business District Rush Hospital
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SYSTEMS REGULATIONS:
On November 25, 2014, the City Council approved a Zoning Ordinance update. As part of the updated
Zoning Ordinance, specific zoning and regulatory criteria related to alternative energy systems were
adopted. Chapter 19: Alternative Energy Systems of the approved new Zoning Ordinance identifies
freestanding solar energy systems (FSES) as a special use within the all zoning districts and establishes
regulations which were used in the review of this request.
The proposed solar farm is required to meet the setback standards for the O Office District as well as the
provisions under the Freestanding Solar Energy Systems regulations. Table 10.07.01 of Chapter 7 in the
City’s Zoning Ordinance provides dimensions and bulk regulations for the O Office District.
Section 19-7-C of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance states that freestanding solar energy systems shall not
be located within the required front yard or corner side yard. Additionally, Section 19-7-B of the
Yorkville Zoning Ordinance states that all parts of any freestanding solar energy system shall be set back
8 feet from interior side and rear property lines.
The following table illustrates the minimum required yard setbacks for solar systems based upon the O
Office District regulations and the Freestanding Solar Energy System requirements:
Minimum Requirement Proposed Setback
Front 30 feet 710 feet
Rear 8 feet 18 feet
Side (East) 8 feet 962 feet
Side (West) 20 feet 30 feet
Distance from Residential Properties
In addition to the shown setbacks, the petitioner has indicated on their plans that the boundary fence of
the solar farm will be seventy-five (75) feet away from the property line of the nearest residential property
(Blackberry Woods). The solar panels themselves will be an additional ten (10) feet from the closest
residential property line for a total of eighty-five (85) feet from the nearest residential property line.
Staff has conducted research on the 10 residential properties in Blackberry Woods which are closest to the
proposed development. Of the 10 properties, there are 8 existing single family homes and 2 vacant lots.
The following table details the distances from the rear property line to the closest point on an existing
home and the estimated overall distances from the proposed solar panels:
Address Distance of Rear Yard Property
Line to Existing Structure
Distance of Solar Panel to
Existing Structure
927 N Carly Circle 65 feet 150 feet
937 N Carly Circle 80 feet 165 feet
957 N Carly Circle 72 feet 157 feet
967 N Carly Circle 61 feet 146 feet
977 N Carly Circle 82 feet 167 feet
987 N Carly Circle 84 feet 169 feet
997 N Carly Circle 63 feet 148 feet
1007 N Carly Circle 95 feet 180 feet
AVERAGE: 75.25 feet 160.25 feet
Several residents from the Blackberry Woods subdivision and its HOA voiced their concerns at the
October 2, 2018 Economic Development Committee (EDC) meeting. The petitioner has met with the
HOA separately to help address their concerns for the potential negative effects the solar farm may create.
For comparison and context, the submission from PZC 2018-08 BAP Power Corporation at Windmill
Farms (reviewed in May 2018) proposed a similar solar farm which would have been an estimated three
hundred and seventy (370) feet from the nearest residential property line as shown in the map below.
Height
The petitioner has submitted an exhibit illustrating that the height of the entire panel on the stand will not
exceed seven feet and one inch (7’1”) in height. Section 10-19-7-F states the maximum height will be
stipulated as a special use condition. Section 10- 19-7-D of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, the minimum
clearance between the lowest point of the system and the surface which the system is mounted is ten (10)
feet. The exhibit shows a one foot seven inch (1’7”) minimum clearance. The reason that the panels do
not meet the stated regulation is because the petitioner wishes to keep the solar panels as low to the
ground as possible for visual purposes and to avoid issues with their wind load rating. The petitioner has
stated that the ten foot (10’) standard would not meet any industry racking standards. By keeping the
panels as low as possible to the ground, the perimeter fence will be tall enough to hide all of the panels.
Staff encountered this issue with the previous solar field proposal and we are aware of the current
industry standards for height. It is our intention to propose a future text amendment to this section of the
ordinance to meet current best practices. Therefore staff is not opposed to the required minimum
clearance proposed.
Glare
Per Section 10-19-7-E of the Zoning Ordinance regarding Alternative Energy Systems for freestanding
solar units, the panels are to be placed such that the concentrated solar radiation or glare does is not
directed onto nearby properties or roadways. The petitioner has provided a glare study which indicates
that no glare will be created by this type of system.
The study indicates that there are two common types of solar panel systems; Photovoltaic (PV) and
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). The petitioner is proposing a solar farm using a PV system. These
solar panels are constructed of dark color materials and covered with anti-reflective coatings. The main
goal of a PV system is to absorb light and not reflect it. A CSP system utilizes mirrors to reflect light and
heat water or other fluids to create steam that turns an electric generator. A common misconception of
solar panels and glare comes from not understanding the difference between the two types of systems. At
most, solar PV panels will reflect as little as 2% of incoming sunlight which is about the same as a body
of water.
Additionally, the petitioner has provided the distance, in linear feet, of the solar farm to the nearest
neighboring residential property line on the revised Site Plan. According to the plan, the nearest
residential property to the solar farm will be approximately 75 feet away. The panels shall be placed to
face east and rotate west to follow the path of the sun to collect the most sunlight throughout the day. It is
not anticipated the system would cause glare to the adjacent buildings located to the south, as the units at
maximum tilt will be pointed towards the east. It should be noted that the systems may be visible from the
adjacent homes from the second story’s vantage point and the Rush Copley Hospital campus.
Fencing
The petitioner originally proposed a six (6) foot chain link fence to surround the perimeter of the solar
farm. As stated in Section 10-17-2-F a fence may be a maximum of six (6) feet in height in the corner
side yard and rear yard except in a rear yard which is adjacent to residential uses, the maximum height is
then eight (8) feet. This section of the code also states that galvanized chain link is not a permitted
material but vinyl coated chain link fence is permitted.
After staff review, the petitioner was advised to make the entire fence the maximum of eight feet (8’) in
height and 100% opaque. The petitioner has proposed a seven foot and six inch (7’6”) tall fence around
the entire solar farm. In terms of materials, the southern portion of the fence will be completely opaque
treated wood and the western, northern, and eastern sections will be vinyl coated chain link.
The reasoning for their submission can be seen in the attached letter from the Kendall Ccounty Sheriff’s
Office. The Sheriff’s Office expressed concerns of not obstructing a view across the Government Center
by requiring a solid fence surrounding the entire solar farm. They stated that a solid fence along the south
boundary is acceptable but the rest of the enclosure should be chain link and open for views across the
Government Center. While staff can appreciate the concerns from the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office,
staff still finds it in the best interest of the community, adjacent homeowners, and businesses to require
the fencing to be completely opaque around the entire solar farm. The seven foot and six inch (7’6”)
proposed height will still be taller than the maximum height of the solar panels.
Accessory Use
Section 10-19-4-D states that alternative energy systems shall be an accessory to the principal permitted
use. The proposed solar farm will be accessory to the entire Kendall County Government Campus.
Signage
Section 10-19-4-F states that no commercial signage or attention getting device is permitted on any
alternative energy system. The submitted plans do not indicate any signage will be located on the solar
farm or the surrounding fence.
Utility Service Provider
Section 10-19-4-G requires written evidence that the electric utility service provider that serves the
proposed site has been notified of the owner’s intent to install an interconnected customer owned
electricity generator. ComEd has been notified of this project and an interconnection plan has been
submitted to them.
Landscape Plan
Per Section 8-12-2-H of the Landscape Ordinance, a Tree
Preservation Plan is required for all lots five (5) acres or
greater in area. No live trees with a four inch (4”) DBH
(diameter breast height) may be removed without first
submitting an application for tree removal and receiving
approval from the City. The petitioner is aware of this
requirement and has submitted some preliminary materials
for that study.
As shown in the attached draft landscape plan, the site
contains a total of 848 trees comprised of 22 species. The
location and health of these trees have also been
documented in the survey. About 70% of the trees
surveyed are in fair or good condition. The remaining 30%
of trees are either in poor condition or are dead. The
existing trees have been moved several times and were
originally meant to be located at the Kendall County
Government Center property temporarily. The County and
the petitioner are considering options to move these trees, if
possible, to a new location.
While the petitioner has proposed a solid fence along the southern boundary to screen the solar farm from
adjacent residents, the addition of landscaping for screening purposes is encouraged. The petitioner has
submitted a detailed landscape plan along the southern boundary of the solar farm. There are a proposed
71 trees to be planted south of the boundary fence to buffer the adjacent residential properties in
Blackberry Woods. These 71 trees will consist of 7 different species of trees including 12 trees, the
Japanese Tree Lilac, which will be saved from the existing trees on site. The petitioner has also submitted
examples and a fact sheet for each type of tree being proposed. The City’s landscape review consultant is
currently reviewing the submitted materials and once their review is complete, their requests and
comments will be subject to the petitioner’s special use.
Noise
At the EDC Meeting held on October 2, 2018, nearby residents raised concerns regarding noise levels the
solar farm would create. The petitioner has submitted materials to the City which demonstrate the noise
levels this solar farm would generate.
In their report, the petitioner has identified the three main components of the solar farm which include the
solar panels, tracking rack mounts, and inverter. The sound tests conducted by the petitioner show the
amount of decibels each of those components generate:
• Solar Panels – 0 Decibels
• Tracking Rack Mounts – 53 Decibels at a 10 foot distance
• Inverter – 63 Decibels at a 10 foot distance
For context on these volume ranges, see the exhibit on the next page for what types of noises are
generated by typical objects or people. The solar panels themselves create no noise pollution. The
tracking rack mounts generate a noise about the same as a refrigerator when measured from 10 feet away.
These motors will run every 10 minutes at 15 second intervals during the day while the sun is shining.
The inverter generates noise at the volume of a typical conversation measure from 10 feet away. The
inverter only runs while the system is operating during the day while the sun is out. The petitioner has
illustrated in their submission that the location of the inverters and tracker motors will be more than three
hundred (300) feet away from the nearest residential property.
Japanese Tree Lilac
Safety
Questions over the public health and safety of solar farms were asked at the EDC meeting. The petitioner
has submitted materials outlining the various concerns which were brought up at that meeting. In terms
of electromagnetic fields, often referred to as radiation, the solar farm conducts an extremely low
frequency. The amount of electromagnetic radiation which the solar array will emit is less than a
television or cell phone.
The petitioner has submitted materials stating that the panels themselves are made up of harmless
materials typically found within a household including aluminum, copper, and glass. The materials used
are sealed safely within the tempered glass that is tested to uphold all weather conditions including hail.
In the event of a panel breaking, the petitioner will replace the panel as soon as possible to avoid losing
potential energy collection.
Site Maintenance
GRNE Solar is leasing space from Kendall County and will maintain the solar field and the land. Regular
maintenance will occur to ensure the site is operating at maximum efficiency and that the underlying
landscape is being maintained. Additionally, the petitioner will conduct regular checkups on the
equipment and fencing to ensure safety on the site. Staff has requested that the petitioner install a camera
system which allows the Sheriff to monitor the field at any time and that the access gate will have a knox
box for emergency access. These requests will be conditions for the special use.
Abandoned Systems
In the Zoning Ordinance, Section 10-19-4-E states all alternative energy systems inactive or inoperable
for a period of 12 continuous months shall be deemed abandoned and the owner is required to repair or
remove the system from the property at the owner’s expense within 90 days of notice from the City. To
ensure compliance, staff recommends the petitioner provide a security guarantee in a form acceptable to
the City to cover such costs including, but not limited to the removal, property restoration, and city legal
expenses, as a condition of the Special Use approval.
In addition to the security, staff also recommends a blanket easement over the property to allow the City
or its contractor to enter and remove the abandoned system in compliance with the City Code, as a
condition of the Special Use approval. The petitioner is aware of these conditions which will be a part of
their special use authorization.
ALTERNATIVE LAND USES:
The proposed solar farm requires this special use process be conducted but this site is zoned O Office
District and there are many outright permitted uses which may be located on this site without a public
hearing process. The bulk regulations for the O Office District are as follows (Section 10-7-1):
Zone Zoning District Max. Lot
Coverage
Setbacks Max. Building
Height Min. Front Min. Side Min. Rear
O Office District 20,000 sq. ft. 30’ 10’ (20’ corner) 20’ 80’ (6 stories)
In terms of permitted uses, most of the outright permitted uses within the O Office District are for public
or private offices and some select services including libraries, banks, and coffee shops. Kendall County
could also expand their existing permitted uses on the site such as the jail or courthouse.
Therefore, it is possible that Kendall County could construct a 6 story or 80 foot tall office complex that is
only 20 feet away from the rear property line without having to go through a public hearing process.
Zoning and building reviews would be conducted once building permits were received to ensure that all
standards are met.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Please refer to the attached comments prepared by Engineering Enterprises Inc. (EEI) dated August 2,
2018. The work items listed in the review letter will become conditions for the Special Use and a
requirement for issuance of a building permit.
SPECIAL USE STANDARDS:
Section 10-4-9F of the City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes standards for special use requests. No special
use shall be recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission unless said commission shall find
that:
1. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be unreasonably
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare.
2. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate
vicinity for the purpose already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values
within the neighborhood in which it is to be located.
3. The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
4. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage or other necessary facilities have been or are being
provided.
5. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as to
minimize traffic congestion in the public streets.
6. The proposed special use is not contrary to the objectives of the official comprehensive plan of
the City as amended.
Additionally, Section 10-19-4C of the City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes standards for special use
requests regarding alternative energy systems. No special use shall be recommended by the Planning and
Zoning Commission unless said commission shall find that:
1. The city council shall determine that the application has met all of the general requirements of
this chapter.
2. The proposed energy system shall further the intent of this chapter and provide renewable energy
to the property on which it is proposed.
3. The proposed alternative energy system is located in such a manner as to minimize intrusions on
adjacent residential uses through siting on the lot, selection of appropriate equipment, and other
applicable means.
4. The establishment for the proposed alternative energy system will not prevent the normal and
orderly use, development or improvement of the adjacent property for uses permitted in the
district.
The applicant has provided written responses to these special use standards as part of their
application and requests inclusion of those responses into the public record during the public
hearing at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
STAFF COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the following conditions to the special use:
1. The minimum clearance between the lowest point of the system and the surface on which
the system is mounted is one foot and seven inches (1’7”).
2. A seven foot and six inch (7’6”) tall solid opaque fence be installed along the entire
perimeter of the solar farm.
3. The petitioner must implement the landscape plan submitted by the petitioner and
completed by Hampton, Lenzini, and Renwick, Inc. dated October 29, 2018.
4. The petitioner must comply with all comments and requirements made by Planning
Resources, Inc. from the landscape plans dated October 29, 2018.
5. A security camera system must be installed which gives monitoring access of the solar
farm to the County Sheriff
6. A knox box must be installed near the access gate for emergency situations.
7. The petitioner provide a security guarantee in a form acceptable to the City to cover such
costs including, but not limited to the removal, property restoration, and city legal
expenses and a blanket easement be provided over the property to allow the City or its
contractor to enter and remove the abandoned system in compliance with the City Code.
8. Adherence to all comments prepared by EEI, city engineering consultant, in a letter dated
August 2, 2018.
Proposed Motion:
In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on November 14, 2018 and discussion
of the findings of fact, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval to the City Council
a request for Special Use authorization to construct a freestanding solar energy system, or solar farm,
on a O Office District zoned property located at the southwest corner of the Kendall County
Government Center, subject to staff recommendations in a memo dated November 7, 2018 and further
subject to {insert any additional conditions of the Planning and Zoning Commission}…

INTENT AND PURPOSE:
The purpose of the zoning code is based upon the authority of the city to divide its land into districts by use, bulk, location of building and structures, in
a substantially uniform manner. It is recognized that while some uses are permitted under the zoning code to keep uniformity, a case-by-case analysis
must be conducted for certain permitted uses to discover the impact of those uses on neighboring land and of the public need for the particular use at
the particular location. In these cases a special use must be granted.
This packet explains the process to successfully submit and complete an Application for Special Use. It includes a detailed description of the process and
the actual application itself. Please type the required information in the application on your computer. The application will need to be printed and signed
by the petitioner. The only item that needs to be submitted to the city from this packet is the application. The rest of the packet is to help guide you
through the process unto completion.
For a complete explanation of what is legally required throughout the Special Use process, please refer to “Title 10, Chapter 4, Section 9 Special Uses” of
the Yorkville, Illinois City Code.

PETITIONER DEPOSIT ACCOUNT FUND:
It is the policy of the United City of Yorkville to require any petitioner seeking approval on a project or entitlement request to establish a Petitioner Deposit Account Fund to
cover all actual expenses occurred as a result of processing such applications and requests. Typical requests requiring the establishment of a Petitioner Deposit Account Fund
include, but are not limited to, plan review of development approvals/engineering permits. Deposit account funds may also be used to cover costs for services related to legal
fees, engineering and other plan reviews, processing of other governmental applications, recording fees and other outside coordination and consulting fees. Each fund account
is established with an initial deposit based upon the estimated cost for services provided in the INVOICE & WORKSHEET PETITION APPLICATION. This initial deposit is drawn
against to pay for these services related to the project or request. Periodically throughout the project review/approval process, the Financially Responsible Party will receive
an invoice refl ecting the charges made against the account. At any time the balance of the fund account fall below ten percent (10%) of the original deposit amount, the
Financially Responsible Party will receive an invoice requesting additional funds equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the initial deposit if subsequent reviews/fees related
to the project are required. In the event that a deposit account is not immediately replenished, review by the administrative staff , consultants, boards and commissions may
be suspended until the account is fully replenished. If additional funds remain in the deposit account at the completion of the project, the city will refund the balance to the
Financially Responsible Party. A written request must be submitted by the Financially Responsible Party to the city by the 15th of the month in order for the refund check to be
processed and distributed by the 15th of the following month. All refund checks will be made payable to the Financially Responsible Party and mailed to the address provided
when the account was established.

FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE PARTY:
I acknowledge and understand that as the Financially Responsible Party, expenses may exceed the estimated initial deposit and, when requested by the United City of Yorkville,
I will provide additional funds to maintain the required account balance. Further, the sale or other disposition of the property does not relieve the individual or Company/
Corporation of their obligation to maintain a positive balance in the fund account, unless the United City of Yorkville approves a Change of Responsible Party and transfer of
funds. Should the account go into defi cit, all City work may stop until the requested replenishment deposit is received.

RE: Chapter 19 – Alternative Energy Systems – Standards For Granting a Special Use
1. The city council shall determine that the application has met all of the general requirements of this
chapter.
GRNE Solar along with Progressive Energy Group and Kendall County have reviewed Chapter 19 –
Alternative Energy Systems – and have paid close attention to ensuring compliance with the standards
set forth by the City of Yorkville in order to gain approval for this project.
2. The proposed energy system shall further the intent of this chapter and provide renewable energy to
the property on which it is proposed.
This project directly aligns with the intent of Chapter 19 to regulate alternative energy systems and to
promote their effective and efficient use. By abiding by the standards and ensuring compliance, this
project will help create and utilize renewable energy for the customer. The energy produced will be
used to directly offset the energy load of the customer.
3. The proposed alternative energy system is located in such a manner as to minimize intrusions on
adjacent residential uses through siting on the lot, selection of appropriate equipment, and other
applicable means.
We have worked with Kendall County to identify the best possible space for the location of this project.
We have set it back off of route 34 to the back of the property. Additionally, the entire array will be
surrounded by a 6’ chain-link fence to ensure safety and security and minimize concerns with aesthetics.
4. The establishment for the proposed alternative energy system will not prevent the normal and
orderly use, development or improvement of the adjacent property for uses permitted in the district.
Implementation of this project will not have an impact on normal use or development of other
properties in this area. There are no outstanding or adverse effects that will result from installing the
solar energy equipment. The solar array will be enclosed by the security fence and will not impact the
surrounding properties.

Dear Mr. Peterman,
Staff has reviewed your submitted application for the above-referenced project and found
deficiencies in needed information/documentation before the application can be deemed complete.
Please provide the additional information requested below in order to advance to the next regularly
scheduled meeting in the process:
1. Detailed information regarding the setback dimensions the solar field (fence not included)
from each lot line (front, sides, rear).
2. Detailed information which illustrates the overall height of the structures.
3. Per Section 10-19-7-E of the Zoning Ordinance regarding Alternative Energy Systems for
freestanding solar units, the panels are to be placed such that the concentrated solar
radiation or glare does is not directed onto nearby properties or roadways. Please provide
the distance, in linear feet, of the closest solar module to the nearest neighboring property
with a building and roadway on the Site Plan and a written project narrative of how the
solar panels will not produce glare on the southern residential properties.
4. A dimensioned section detail is required for the proposed perimeter fence. Note that
Section 10-17-2 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding Fencing and Screening prohibits the
use of chain-link fencing, but allows for vinyl coated chain-link fencing only in the rear
and side yards. Additionally, barbed wire is prohibited in Residential and Business zoned
districts. The proposed fence is chain link. Permitted fence materials are provided in
Section 10-17-2-F of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff is recommending something opaque to
hide the panels from the residential properties to the south.
5. Section 10-19-4-G requires evidence that the electric utility service provider that serves
the proposed site has been notified of the owner’s intent to install an interconnected
customer owned electricity generator. Please provide this documentation.

RE: Application for Special Use Permit for a Solar Farm
Dear Staff:
Please see responses enclosed to questions submitted on April 2, 2018 regarding our application for
special use permit.
1. Detailed information regarding the setback dimensions for the solar field.
a. See attached site plan with setbacks noted.
2. Overall height of the structure – See attached drawings with heights noted.
3. The proposed solar array is designed as a tracker system. The solar module rows will be
installed in north/south rows and the panels will track the sun across the sky from the east to
the west throughout the day. At no time will the panels face due south, where the nearest
properties and roadways exist. See attached site plan noting the nearest solar module to the
nearest neighboring property.
4. See attached section view of the proposed 6’ chain link fence. GRNE solar is proposing the use
of chain link fence as a protection boundary around the perimeter of the solar array. This Fence
will be consistent with other fences already in place on the property being used at the jail
location at this time. The southern boundary fence abutting the southern residential property
could be a slatted chain link fence or equivalent.
5. ComEd has been notified of this project and an interconnection application has been submitted
on behalf of the County. Please see attached ComEd application.
6. There are no plans to construct solar at this time in the 4.4 acre private storm water drainage
facility near the intersection of Beecher road and Route 34.
7. A Plat of Survey of route 34 expansion will be provided by City engineer. The solar array will not
be located near this future expansion area.
8. GRNE Solar is aware of the landscape Ordinance 8-12-2-H. GRNE Solar is currently soliciting area
contractors to aid in conformance to this ordinance. A detailed plan for conformance to the
Tree Preservation Plan will be provided once a contractor has been selected for this work.
Please consider this application with the understanding that GRNE Solar plans to conform to this
ordinance as part of this process. We need to review all fencing and landscaping requirements
with the Kendall County Sheriff’s office as part of the County process to ensure we meet their
safety concerns as well.

Solar and Glare
I. Introduction
A common misconception about solar photovoltaic (PV) panels is that they inherently cause or create
“too much” glare, posing a nuisance to neighbors and a safety risk for pilots. While in certain situations
the glass surfaces of solar PV systems can produce glint (a momentary flash of bright light) and glare (a
reflection of bright light for a longer duration), light absorption, rather than reflection, is central to the
function of a solar PV panel - to absorb solar radiation and convert it to electricity. Solar PV panels are
constructed of dark-colored (usually blue or black) materials and are covered with anti-reflective
coatings. Modern PV panels reflect as little as two percent of incoming sunlight, about the same as water
and less than soil or even wood shingles (SEIA/Sandia 2013). Some of the concern and misconception is
likely due to the confusion between solar PV systems and concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. CSP
systems typically use an array of mirrors to reflect sunlight to heat water or other fluids to create steam
that turns an electric generator. These typically involve large ground-mounted reflectors, usually in
remote desert locations, and are not installed in residential or commercial areas or near airports.

II. PV on or near airports
June 2014
Solar and Glare
As of June 2013, there were over 30 solar projects in operation at airports in 15 different states (Barrett
2013). Solar installations have been successfully located at or near US international airports in Boston,
New York, San Francisco, and Denver, among others. Yet concerns over glint (a quick reflection) and
glare (a longer reflection) often arise when a PV system is proposed on or near an airport. Pilots are
familiar with both glint and glare as reflection is a common phenomenon, especially off of bodies of water
or in the form of glare from the sun itself. However, issues can arise if the solar PV system were to cast
glare into an air traffic control tower.1
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been actively reviewing the impact of glare from solar
panels to streamline an evaluation process that ensures safety while creating more opportunity for solar
installations on or near airports. The FAA filed notice of its Interim Policy for review of solar energy
systems on federally obligated airports (i.e. airports which receive federal funding) in October of 2013.2
This policy requires that a sponsor of a federally obligated airport must request FAA review and approval
to install solar on its “airport layout plan.” Federally-obligated airports must also notify the FAA of its
intent to construct any solar installation by filing FAA form 7460-1. The interim FAA policy also requires
the use of the Solar Glare Hazard Analysis Tool for on-airport solar development.
III. FAA and the Solar Glare Hazard Analysis Tool
In order to understand and model glare in accordance with FAA standards, Sandia National Laboratories
developed the Solar Glare Hazard Analysis Tool (SGHAT). Standardized safety metrics define what glare
intensity will cause unwanted visual impacts to Air Traffic Control towers and airplane pilots. SGHAT can
be used to evaluate the potential of a particular PV array to produce glare intensity, predicting when and
where glare will occur from a prescribed PV array at user-defined observation points (i.e. from the Air
Traffic Control Tower or from a series of points along an aircraft landing route) and be combined with
Google maps for an easy user interface. In instances where glare may be a concern, the tool can prescribe
minor adjustments to the tilt, direction, and location of the panels to alleviate any issues. SGHAT will
predict annual energy production for the various adjusted positions (SEIA/Sandia PPT).
IV. Role for Local Governments
Local governments may wish to include airport guidance within their local zoning ordinances that
address solar PV. The North Carolina Solar Center Template Solar Energy Development Ordinance for
North Carolina3 includes a section on airports and recommends aviation notification steps for both on -
airport solar projects and installations within 5 nautical miles of an airport. In addition to amendments to
local zoning codes, local governments have the opportunity to conduct outreach to airports,

organizations and local stakeholders about methods for predicting and managing glare impacts from
solar panels near airports or other locations. Such outreach furthers the safety goals of the FAA and the
solar energy development goals of municipalities and communities. Spreading awareness of the safety
of PV systems along with FAA guidance and glare measurement tools will help foster informed
communities and enable the deployment of safe and productive solar PV projects in locations where glint
and glare may be of concern.

Section 19-7-D of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, the minimum clearance between the
lowest point of the system and the surface which the system is mounted is ten (10)
feet. The exhibit shows a one foot seven inch (1’7”) minimum clearance. Provide a
statement clarifying why the minimum clearance does not meet the required
standard.
The diagram on the previous page detailing the solar array is designed to
manufacturer’s specifications. At these specifications this is a minimum ground
clearance of 1’7”. The current zoning ordinance requires a minimum distance of 10’
clearance from the ground. This would not meet any of the industry’s racking
specifications and would further lift the solar modules off the ground causing them to
be more visible and would cause issues with wind load rating. The 1’7” clearance will
provide a discrete installation of the solar modules which will allow them to be fully
covered by the fencing and will meet manufacturer specification and building
requirements with wind load ratings.

Re: Tree and Shrub Inventory
Kendall County Solar Project
Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois
Dear Mr. Peterman:
On September 10-12, 2018 Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) performed a tree and shrub
inventory within the Kendall County Solar Project property located southeast of the intersection of John
Street and Beecher Street in Yorkville, Illinois. The project area consists of an abandoned tree and shrub
nursery.
The United City of Yorkville requires a survey of all trees measuring four inches in diameter-breast-height
(DBH) or greater. Additionally, per a September 6, 2018 phone conversation with Ms. Krysti Barksdale-
Noble, Community Development Director, the approximate number and species of shrubs were recorded
but their locations were not surveyed as she stated this was not necessary.
MethodologyMethodologyMethodologyMethodology
All trees within the project area, measuring four inches in DBH or greater, were surveyed. A diameter
measuring tape was used to determine DBH. For trees having more than one trunk (i.e., multi-stemmed
trees), the largest diameter trunk was measured and the tree was noted as having multiple trunks. A
numbered tag was nailed to each surveyed tree and its DBH, botanical name, common name, and
general health (e.g., excellent, good, fair, poor, dead) were recorded.
Planted shrubs not having a stem measuring four inches in DBH or greater, were not tagged or surveyed;
however, their presence was recorded and is noted on page 1 of the enclosed Tree and Shrub Inventory.
Opportunistic (i.e., non-planted trees and shrubs) less than four inches DBH were not inventoried.
Opportunistic species included honeysuckles (Lonicera spp.), black cherry (Prunus serotina), Eastern
Cottonwood (Populus deltoides) among others.
The location of each inventoried tree was surveyed using a hand held Trimble R1GNSS receiver and
overlaid on an aerial photograph as provided on page 2 of the Tree and Shrub Inventory. Locations of
planted shrubs were marked on an aerial in the field and their locations transposed onto the Tree and
Shrub Inventory.

Results and SResults and SResults and SResults and Summaryummaryummaryummary
A total of 848 trees comprised of 22 species were tagged and surveyed. A table summarizing all tagged
and surveyed trees is provided on page 3 of the Tree and Shrub Inventory. The three most dominant
species were river birch (Betula nigra), dwarf river birch (Betula nigra “Little King” var.), and red oak
(Quercus rubra). Together, these three species account for approximately 70 percent of the trees
recorded.
Table 1Table 1Table 1Table 1 contains a summary of the recorded tree species by common and scientific name, number of
individuals, and percentage of all trees. A complete tally of all inventoried trees is provided on page 3 of
the Tree and Shrub Inventory.

Table 2 presents the inventoried tree data by health. Health refers to the overall condition of the tree,
specifically the vigor and productivity of the tree. Signs of disease, insects, presence of fungus, dead
wood, or holes on the main trunk, and leaf condition are all considered when evaluating the health of the
tree. In addition, bark damage, lean, cankers, and twig development are also used when evaluating the

health of a tree.
Most trees (over 39 percent) were classified as fair. This rating was mainly driven by the fact that the
trees were planted close together in anticipation of being sold before reaching maturity. However, since
the nursery is abandoned the trees are competing against each other for sunlight which has led to
significant dieback of lower limbs (i.e., shade pruning). No trees in excellent condition were found. This
was mainly due to the close growing conditions and competition for light. Dead trees accounted for
almost three percent of the inventoried trees. All but one of the dead trees were green ash. Signs and
symptoms of emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) were present on the green ash.

LANDSCAPE PLAN
Per Section 8-12-2-H of the Landscape Ordinance, a Tree Preservation Plan is
required for all lots five (5) acres or greater in area. No live trees with a four-inch
(4”) DBH (diameter breast height) may be removed without first submitting an
application for tree removal and receiving approval from the City. A Tree
Preservation Plan and a landscape plan will be required as part of the Special Use
application.
Considering the site is currently a storage home for a subset of trees, a landsca ping
plan is being developed to help clear this space to prepare for the project. We are in
discussion with the Sheriff’s office, local stakeholder’s, our attorney Dan Kramer, and
the City of Yorkville to devise a plan that works for all parties.
The history of the trees at this site have been moved three times and have landed
here as a staging area and were not meant for permanent residency. We are working
to better understand the options for removal of these trees. Please see attached, the
completed tree study performed by HLR Engineering. Also attached are rendering s of
the landscaping proposed on the south boundary of the property. These trees will be a
coniferous species so as not to lose their leaves in the winter to have a year-round
presence to help with ascetics for the solar field. The trees shall be a height of 4’
when installed and spaced at 35’ on center to accommodate the mature nature of the
trees.

HOA QUESTIONS
Will living near a solar field affect the value of my property?
CohnReznick and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,
performed interviews with county assessors and real estate
brokers to study the impact of solar farms on property values. The
results showed that solar farms do not negatively impact property
values.
Do solar panels contain harmful chemicals?
No -Solar panels are safe to touch, attach to your home and install
in your neighborhood. The panels are made of materials that are
found in your homes such as aluminum, copper, and glass. The
materials used are sealed safely within the tempered glass that is
tested to uphold all weather conditions including hail.
Do solar panels create a glare?
Solar panels are specifically designed to absorb sunlight not reflect
it. The combination of the dark-colored materials and anti-
reflective coating remove the glare so much so that solar farms can
be installed throughout flight paths and are used to power several
major airports.

HOA QUESTIONS
https://energync.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/solar-health-myth-vs-fact.jpg
Do solar panels leak radiation?
The materials of solar panels are
enclosed in tempered glass, therefore
they do not mix with water or vaporize
into the air. There is no threat of
chemicals releasing the environment
causing harm. Several third party
environmental organizations such as
Sierra Club, Environmental Law and
Policy Center, Greenpeace, etc. support
solar development.
Do solar panels produce
electromagnetic radiation that is
harmful to our health?
Solar arrays produce a lower amount of
electromagnetic field than TV’s and
refrigerators. There is no relationship
between health issues and exposure to
electromagnetic fields.

SITE MAINTENANCE
•Site maintenance will be the
responsibility of GRNE Solar.
•GRNE Solar will lease the fenced area
from the County and will maintain the
solar field and land.
•Regular maintenance will occur to ensure
the property is well cared for and
operating at the optimal efficiency.
•Regular safety checks of electrical
equipment will take place including a
review of the fence, surrounding area,
and overall safety.

•Solar inverters and racking motors will be located more than 300’ from the nearest home
•Inverters and racking motors only operate during the day when the sun is shining
•Emitted sound from the system will be drowned out by the distance of the field from
residential properties as well as the ambient noise from the highway
•The solar field will be regularly maintained and manicured by GRNE Solar
•Living near and interacting with a solar panel, system or field has been rigorously tested
and proven not to cause any adverse health concerns
•Independent third party environmental groups support solar development
•GRNE Solar is excited to share that this project will save tax payers $4M over the duration
of the project with $0 capital cost
Next Steps
•HOA Joint Meeting -October 30, 2018

MORE ON EMF
1. NC Clean Energy Technology Report –NC State University
The National Academies of Science were directed by Congress to examine the effect of EMF from PV
systems and concluded:
“Based on a comprehensive evaluation of published studies relating to the effects of power-frequency
electric and magnetic fields on cells, tissues, and organisms (including humans), the conclusion of the
committee is that the current body of evidence does not show that exposure to these fields presents a
human-health hazard.Specifically, no conclusive and consistent evidence shows that exposures to
residential electric and magnetic fields produce cancer, adverse neurobehavioral effects, or reproductive
and developmental effects.”
2. Massachusetts Clean Energy Center
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection has a recommended magnetic field
level exposure limit of 833 milli-Gauss (mG)for the general public. At the utility scale [PV] sites,
magnetic field levels along the fenced PV array boundary were in the very low range of 0.2 to 0.4 mG.
Magnetic field levels at the locations 50 to 150 feet from the fenced array boundary were not elevated
above background levels (<0.2 mG).
3. Independent Power Systems
Based on these findings in this limited test, I am very pleased to see that our system emits negligible
electromagnetic radiation.

Re: Landscape Plan
Kendall County Solar Project
Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois
Dear Mr. Peterman:
Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) has prepared the enclosed Landscape Plan for the
proposed Kendall County Solar Project. The project is located southeast of the intersection of John
Street and Beecher Street in Yorkville, Illinois. Per your direction, the Landscape Plan addresses
only the southern boundary of the subject property.
We understand that mature tree heights are not to exceed 25 feet to prevent shade from affecting
the productivity of the solar array. Please note that the United City of Yorkville Landscape
Ordinance Chapter 12, 8-12-2.B.1 requires two shade trees, five evergreen trees and three
ornamental trees per one hundred linear feet. None of the shade tree species in the Yorkville
Permitted Planting List have mature heights of less than 25 feet. Therefore, approved ornamental
trees were used as substitutes for shade trees (at a 2:1 ratio per the Ordinance). Also, per
Ordinance requirements, no single genus represents more than 33 percent of the total number of
species.
In order to potentially reduce landscaping costs, HLR reviewed the Permitted Planting List against
the list of species currently present on the subject property. The only species present on both the
list and the property is Japanese Tree Lilac (Syringa reticulata sp.). There are approximately 170
Japanese Tree Lilac on the property, although most were in mediocre condition, it is likely that 12
specimens in good condition can be found and installed along the southern property boundary as
indicated on the Landscape Plan.

Next Tree
1. Trees shall be typical of their variety or species, shall have a normal growth of spread and height, and shall be sound, healthy, vigorous, free of
disease, insect pests and larvae, with well-developed root systems. Items broken major branches, or badly bruised or damaged bark, are not
acceptable.
2. Trees shall be balled and burlapped, with firm, natural balls of earth. The balls shall be dug according to current nursery practices for sufficient
depth and width to include adequate fibrous and feeding roots. No tree shall be accepted if the ball is broken before or during planting operations.
3. Trees shall be set plumb in center of the planting hole at same elevation as adjacent finished landscape grades. When set, additional topsoil
backfill is to be placed around the base and sides of the root ball, and each layer worked to settle backfill and eliminate voids and air pockets. If
balled and burlapped, burlap shall be removed from sides of balls and retained on bottoms.
4. Plant material shall be grown in nurseries from the central or northern Illinois region.
5. Spade harvested and transplanted plants shall meet all the requirements for field grown trees. Root ball diameters shall be of similar size as the
ANSI Z60.1 requirements for balled and burlapped plants. Trees shall be harvested prior to leafing out (bud break) in the spring or during the fall
planting period except for plants know to be considered as fall planting hazards. Plants that are fall planting hazards shall only be harvested prior to
leafing out in the spring. Trees shall be moved and planted within 48 hours of the initial harvesting and shall remain in the spade machine until
planted.
6. Install 4" minimum top soil to all planting areas, contractor is responsible for fine grading of planting areas. Remove stones, sticks, and debris
larger than 1".
7. All installed trees to be mulched with 3" depth of partially decomposed hardwood mulch over weed barrier.
8. Guarantee all work for a period of one year beginning at the date of acceptance. Make all replacements promptly as per direction of owner.
9. Water and maintain all plant materials, until initial acceptance.
10. Coordinate installation with work of other sections.
11. Notification of JULIE, 811, is required for all planting areas. The Contractor is responsible for knowing the location and avoiding utilities that are
not covered by the local utility locator service.

Tue, Oct 16, 2:33 PM (13 days ago)
to Matthew, KCboard , Jason, Kerry
Mr. Prochask, Kendall County Board, Yorkville Board, Alderman and Commissioners,
I hope this email finds you well. I appreciated Mr. Prochask’s call the other day where I advised GRNE
could email us to set a date/time for a meeting. I wanted to advise you we have not had any contact from
GRNE (via phone/email to date). As a result our request is as follows:
Allowance of 60 days after the GRNE meeting has been completed to review any additional information
or documentation they present to allow us to research and have GRNE address any questions/concerns
in full.
As the Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year holidays are fast approaching, and our board members are
all volunteers that hold full time jobs, along with the fact that this project was in the works for several
months without any contact by GRNE to us or any contact thus far, or after we attended the Yorkville
meeting, we feel 60 days after our meeting would be an appropriate timeline and will advise directly if any
extension are requested.
As GRNE adamantly expressed at the meeting their desire to not only meet with us, but ad dress and
questions/concerns, with special attention to safety and the water basin affects, and we have caused no
delays on our end, we assume they will find this timeline fair and reasonable as they have not yet
reached out to us.
Please feel free to reach me at(630) 913-0688 with any questions.
Thank you,
President of Blackberry Woods HOA
Megan Fanthorpe

*Please note, this was originally sent via email on 10/16/18. Request was later made for a attachment
copy. Also, after this email was sent GRNE set a meeting with us for 10/30/18 at 6pmCST. We still
request 60 days from the date of this meeting provided it occurs and they do not cancel. The tentative
60th day would be December 28, 2018. Thank you.
