Ayes -8 Nays -0 Anderson -aye, Besco -aye, Burd -aye, James -aye, Kot -aye, Munns -aye, Spears -aye, Sticka -aye - Rich Guerard, partner in Wyndham Deerpoint Homes, gave a presentation. The development will consist of 320 acres of which 186 have already been annexed into the City of Yorkville. There will be 649 units built: 403 single - family homes on 12,000 square foot lots ( and 123 duplexes or 246 units. They have met with the School District and have identified a site for a future school consisting of approximately 21 acres. This location will adjoin an approximately 20 -acre park. The cash contribution to the schools is $3,000.00 /unit or approximately $2 million dollars. The developer is having a water study done. Mr. Guerard explained that they have spoken with all the neighboring landowners and are working on an agreement with Mary Block. There will be buffering between her property and the development and they have discussed water runoff to her fields. Another item of concern for Mrs. Block is that there be a connection to her property and an area for this has been identified and reserved. The developer has also worked with the Park Board and there will be a trail system throughout the development. They are preserving the existing tree line and running a path through it. This will become park property. Mayor Prochaska opened the floor to comments or questions from the public. Kevin Benson, 5600 Minkler Road, expressed his concern that he would have a right of way to his property so that it would not be land locked (see attached letter). He said it seemed that Mr. Guerard had addressed this. Alderman James asked if the access that Mr. Guerard proposed was acceptable and Mr. Benson said it was. City Attorney Kramer suggested incorporating verbiage regarding the access into the PUD. Greg Wheeler, owner of property east of the development on Route 126, questioned why there was no access to the east of the development. He felt this should be supplied for future use. Mr. Guerard stated he had no objection to allowing for access on the east side. Mr. Wheeler also had a concern that the entrance on Route 126 was placed after a rise in the road that was a blind spot. He suggested moving the entrance east across from an existing lane. Mayor Prochaska suggested having the engineers review this. Attorney Kramer asked if Mr. Guerard had received any input from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). Mr. Guerard stated that a traffic study has been done and turn lanes have been recommended on Route 126 and Route 71. It was discussed that if the entrance wasn't up to IDOT standards it would be moved. Ron Cooper, 9103 Ament Road, owns property to the south of the development. His concern was that with this development and the one being planned for the neighboring Jensen farm, his property would be taking on all of the rainwater runoff. He asked if there were any provision to help them with this. Attorney Kramer explained that the developers have to retain the runoff and let it out at a slow rate. The discharge for the retention is into the natural watershed, which could end up in Mr. Cooper's 15 -inch field tile. Mr. Kramer indicated that the drainage should be better than it is now. Mr. Guerard stated that there were four sets of engineers reviewing this along with a drainage consultant. He offered to give Mr. Cooper a copy of the plans so that he could go over then_ Mr. Cooper explained that there is $15,000.00 to $20,000.00 worth of field tile that needs to be replaced and Mr. Guerard stated that he would work with Mr. Cooper to get the tiles repaired One last concern Mr. Cooper had was that his farm is a working livestock farm and -- there are odors from the animals and manure. He wanted future owners to be aware of this. There were no further comments from the audience. Alderwoman Spears complimented Mr. Guerard on the development and their willingness to work with the neighbors. She asked about the faxes regarding landscape buffers and drainage dated July 23, 2002 that he sent to Dallas Ingemunson regarding Mary Block (see attached). She asked if he had received a response. Mr. Guerard stated that they did not have time to respond. He distributed pictures of plantings that will be used as a buffer between the properties. He stated that they are also providing a six -foot privacy fence with plantings alongside it. The fence along the school and park will also have a three -foot berm with plantings. A homeowners association or a Special Service Area (SSA) that taxes the property owners in the area for maintenance will i The Minutes of the ReLyular Meetine of the Citv Council - July 23. 2002 - na•` maintain the fence. The photos also showed the types of plantings for the retention. ponds. Mr. Guerard stated that they have gone over the buffer with Mrs. Block several times until she was happy with it. They have also addressed her concern regarding water to her property and he felt that this had been resolved. Alderwoman Spears encourage Mr. Guerard to continue working with the Blocks, the farming community, as well as the individuals present at the hearing. Mr. Guerard stated that the farm disclosure that Kendall County has adopted will be on the titles of the properly sold. This — . discloses to buyers that they are buying in a farming community with animals, odors and noises. This will be recorded on the plats and property titles. Greg Wheeler had further questions regarding water retention. Mr. Guerard explained that rain water would run from the storm sewers into the retention areas which will be wetland planted. They also discussed a lake near the school acreage. Mr. Guerard was not aware of a lake at this location but was aware of a broken drain file in the area. He stated that they had a wetland study done. Alderman Sticka stated that he appreciated the good faith shown to Mary Block. This shows the city what a developer can do and he hoped others will follow their example. He asked what the population was estimated to be at full build out. Mr. Guerard stated that they figure 649 units at 2.5 people /unit. Mr. Graff stated that it is estimated to be around 1,600 people (2.75 j people /single family home and 2 people /unit for duplexes). Alderman Sticka asked about the Block's concern that they will not have enough waxer draining to their property and Mr. Guerard stated that they have given the Blocks a number of proposals to handling the water to their property. The final solution is based on what the Blocks want and prefer. Alderman Sticka asked if this will be indicated in the PUD and Attorney Kramer stated that he wanted to see what agreements the developer has reached with the Blocks. Some of the agreements should be in the PUD and other in private covenants. There was further discussion initiated by Mr. Wheeler regarding drainage. Mr. Guerard indicated that the storm sewers will be connecting to the Block's drain tile because the Block's have requested this. Mr. Kramer explained that the developer can not just look how drainage effects the Block property but has to look at the whole watershed area. There were no further comments so Mayor Prochaska entertained a motion to close the public hearing for PC 2001 -18. So moved by Alderman Sticka; seconded by Alderman Besco. Motion approved by a roll call vote.

Ayes -8 Nays -0 Anderson -aye, Besco -aye, Burd aye, James-aye, Kot -aye, Munns -aye, Spears -aye, Sticka -aye Matt Fiascone with Inland Real Estate addressed the Council. He stated that Inland received a letter from the City of Yorkville about eighteen months ago informing them that the city wanted — to annex this property. Inland responded and began discussion with the city staff and elected officials about this property. They discussed the city's desire for a water tower and well site in the area as well as the city's comprehensive plan, which called for a small area of commercial property at the intersection of Route 46 and Galena Road with residential surrounding it. These concerns were incorporated into their plan. Mr. Fiascone explained that currently the property is not developable due to the lack of sewer. Mr. Fiascone turned the floor over to Gary Weber. Mr. Weber, land planner and landscape architect, presented the proposed development to the Council. The development is at the northeast corner of Route 47 and Galena Road. The site is 85.887 acres and they are requesting B -3 Service Business and R -3 General Residence District zoning. They are planning seven commercial outlets along Route 47 ranging from 1.2 acres to The Minutes of the Regular Meetine of the City Council - July 23. 2002 - uaC 4 2.9 acres. There will be a retail center of 143,800 square feet on the comer. The water tower site will be 2.1 acres. The residential will be attached and detached townhomes. The townhomes are centered along a park, which will connect the commercial to the residential area, and it will connect to a future development to the east. Access roads will consist of three off of Route 47 and two on Galena Road. The access points are still under discussion with the highway department. Mr. Weber has met with the Park Board and City Planner, Mike Schoppe. The Park Board recommended that the park area be expandable to the east so that when the two sites meet it will form a large park. The Park Board also requested a ten -foot easement along the property line for a bike trail. He reported that they have also prepared a preliminary landscape plan. Mayor Prochaska opened the floor to comments or questions from the public. There were none so the floor was opened to the City Council. Alderman Kot expressed the concern regarding the esthetics of the townhomes. He asked if there were any renderings for the Council to view and Mr. Weber said there were none at this time. Alderman Kot commented that he hoped they would not look like barracks as in some communities. Both Mr. Weber and Mr. Fiascone explained that they try for anti - monotony standards. Mayor Prochaska stated that it was discussed to alternate the setbacks or change the angle of the buildings to the street. I Alderman Sticka asked in Inland Real Estate would be the developer. Mr. Fiascone stated that it is possible that Inland may sell the property to another developer. Even if Inland retains the property, someone else would build the buildings. Alderman Sticka asked if the development plan could change after the land is annexed and Mr. Fiascone stated that yes this was possible but the PUD protects the city as to the residential use of the land. Attorney Kramer stated that the goal of the PUD agreement is to set the zoning and density maximum. Mr. Kramer agreed with putting an anti- monotony code in the PUD, which has already been done with other PUD's. Also discussed were the concerns of the residents living on Galena Road Mr. Kramer indicated that inland is working with the residents. Mr. Graff stated that Jim Bertram (9577 Galena Road, Bristol) sent the City Clerk a letter with his and Mr. Raymond Bertram's (9525 Galena Road, Bristol) concerns about the development as they were unable to attend the public hearing (see attached). Some of their concerns are well rights, detention area buffering, appearance of the townhomes and density. Mr. Kramer noted that it is crucial for the city to cooperate with water and sewer accessibility to that area_ He also noted that Inland had dedicated land in the Yorkville Business Park for a water tower site and they have agreed to leave that land to the city and dedicate this additional site for the new water tower location. i Alderman Sticka asked if City Engineer Joe Wywrot had viewed the requested variations. Mr. Kramer stated that he did review them before the Plan Commission public hearing. Mr. Kramer and Mr. Graff asked Mr. Wywrot if he could prepare a spreadsheet to indicate which variations are agreeable. Mayor Prochaska noted that the Blackberry Creek interceptor will not service this area but one that is located to the west along the Rob Roy Creek area will. Preliminary engineering for the sewer has been started with developers contributing to the cost. There were no further comments so Mayor Prochaska entertained a motion to close the public hearing. So moved by Alderman Sticka; seconded by Alderwoman Besco. Motion approved by a roll call vote.

I COMMUNITY & LIAISON REPORT Metra Study Alderman Kot reported that he attended the Metra Ad Hoc Committee meeting on July 18, 2002, The Committee was presented with the final draft of Phase II. The Committee originally set a date of August 2, 2002 to receive comments on the report. Alderman Kot stated that he would like to get that date extended about a week so that the City Council could review the study and discuss it at the August 6, 2002 Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting. Mayor Prochaska expressed his concern that the report states that when the Metra system is brought to Kendall County, it wouldn't be servicing Yorkville or Plano initially and that this would cause Yorkville will become a "cross through" community. Alderman Kot asked Mr. Graff to get copies of the report to the Council for their review and Mayor Prochaska asked the Council to review the study so that they could compile their comments to send to Metres OLD BUSINESS None. NEW BUSINESS Alderman Munns asked Police Chief Martin about the rise in burglaries in June (20 reported). Chief Martin stated that there were more vehicles stolen or broken into during the month.

COMMITTEE REPORTS PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT (Ordinance) Revising the Engineering Review Fees A motion was made by Alderman Kot to approve the ordinance revising the Engineering Review Fees as presented and to authorize the City Clerk to publish the new fee structure as required. Administrator Graff asked Attorney Kramer if the ordinance was done and Mr. Kramer stated that the ordinance was delivered to City Hall earlier in the afternoon. Mr. Kramer noted a change made to the ordinance since it was at the COW meeting regarding the fee structure for both the city and outside a mile and a half of the city. Originally the fee was the same for both however it was discussed to bill those outside the city on a "as cost basis ". Mayor Prochaska noted that this change was not in the copy of the ordinance that the Council had to review. It was decide to continue this item until the next City Council meeting. Mayor Prochaska entertained a motion to continue this item until the next City Council meeting. So moved by Alderman Kot; seconded by Alderman Anderson. Motion approved by a viva voce vote. Water Park Studv A motion was made by Alderman Kot to authorize the Mayor to execute the contract with Burbach Aquatics, Inc. for the feasibility study, Task 2, for a municipal pool and recreation center and no work will be done that will require expending any City funds without the express written consent of the Mayor; seconded by Alderman James. Alderman Kot noted that this would require a two thirds vote to pass and is the recommendation of the Park Board, Alderman Sticka expressed his concern about using Burbach for the study. He stated that originally, Burbach was going to charge the city until William's Architects offered to do the study pro bond. He felt that it was not good business practices to go back and use Burbach. Also he was concerned that the Park Board never interviewed Williams before making their recommendation. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Citv Council - July 23. 2002 - Mee 7 Mayor Prochaska noted that at the COW meeting, he recommended to the Park Board to interview Williams. Alderman Munns seconded Alderman Sticka's opinion. He did not like that Burbach did not offer their service pro bono until Williams did. He felt that since there is not hurry to build the pool, there was time for the Park Board to interview Williams. Alderwoman Spears asked if the contract and June 4, 2002 letter was the updated contract from Burbach. Mr. Graff indicated that it was the most recent copy and the contract was changed on page 11. The remainder of the contract still remains the same and that is why it is specified in the motion that no work will be done without the express written consent of the Mayor. Alderwoman Spears questioned if they should pay attention to page nine where it states see appendix A 11.3 and page ten where it states see appendix A article 12. Mr. Kramer noted that the contract has been modified and yes to ignore the attachments. Alderwoman Burd asked if Burbach had done pro bono work previously for the city. Mr. Kramer clarified that they have a relationship with the Lyons Club for their pool. Alderman James and Administrator Graff noted that Burbach had spent some of its own time and money to prepare for their meeting with the Park Board. Alderman Kot stated that he supported the Park Board's recommendation even though he was not happy with the chain of events that created the situation between the two firms. He noted that the Park Board consisted of volunteers that put in time and effort on this project and the Council should trust their judgement. He also disagreed with Alderman Munns regarding the urgency of this matter, he felt that the community is missing something without the pool and the sooner the problem is solved the better it will be. Alderman Sticka agreed that the city needs a pool but he felt that the city should be sure to get the right firm. He felt that the Park Board in due diligence should interview all the firms. Alderman James stated that he felt the Park Board did this and made their decision before Williams presented their offer. He felt that the Council should go forward with Burbach. Alderwoman Burd agreed with Alderman James and felt the Park Board's recommendation shouldn't be ignored. Alderman Besco noted that if Williams had not made their pro bono offer, the city would be paying for the study. He did not understand the Park Board's reluctance to interview Williams. He stated that he would vote against Burbach due to the Park Board's reluctance. Aldermen Sticka and Munns expressed their concern that they did not even know on what basis the original three firms were selected. Did the Park Board advertise for the firms or was a request for proposal (RFP) sent out? Alderman Anderson did not understand how Williams could be ruled out without ever making a presentation. He also wondered how they came up with their three choices. Alderwoman Spears added that the Park Board was informed at the City Council/Park Board Ad Hoc Committee meeting that Williams offered to do the study free of charge. She noted that they were delighted with the offer and the savings. They gave their approval to use Williams at that meeting. She did not understand why now they won't interview or consider Williams. She agreed with Alderman Sticka that they were using poor business practices. Mayor Prochaska stated that the Council could vote on Burbach or choose to table the item and request that the Park Board interview Williams. The Council further discussed the options and a motion was made by Alderwoman Burd to table the decision until the Park Board has an opportunity to meet with Williams and reformulate a recommendation; seconded by Alderman Anderson. —'I Motion approved by a roll call vote.

ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE REPORT (Ordinance) Financing Water Imurovement Proiect A motion was made by Alderwoman Spears to approve an ordinance establishing a Water Treatment System Capital Improvement Fee in the United City of Yorkville in the amount of $150.00 annually with the billing cycle commencing September 1, 2002 and to authorize the City Clerk and the Mayor to execute the ordinance along with authorizing the City Clerk to publish the new; seconded by Alderman Kot. Alderman Sticka stated that he had brought u the idea f reducing r gh p o e ucmg o waiving the fee for those 65 years old or older and with a yearly income of less than $40,000.00 /year (requirements for having property taxes frozen). He felt that this fee could be a burden for those individuals. i The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Citv Council - July 23. 2002 - na L99 Alderman Sticks asked Finance Director Pleckham to investigate how many people this would involve and she contacted the County and found that eighty -six families qualify for this. Alderman Sticka asked if this fee is passed, would the Council be able to go back and amend it to accommodate these individuals and would this jeopardize the bond issue? Mayor Prochaska noted that the Council also talked about finding another source of revenue to supplement the reduction for the seniors but hasn't received information about this yet. Attorney Kramer stated that the fee ordinance could be amended at any time. His suggested speaking with the City's bond representative to verify that wouldn't violate any condition of the bonds. If they are fine with the reduction, there is no problem to amend the ordinance. Administrator Graff stated that he and Finance Director Pleckham discussed looking into a program where the city would supplement the low- income seniors who apply for it. A revenue stream for the funds would be identified and the funds would be put aside in a budget line item for this program. This way the bond would not be affected because the City could show it is collecting the funds for the program. This could also be available for all low- income families. Mr. Graff suggested tabling the item until the August 13, 2002 City Council meeting. This would give him and Mrs. Pleckham time to investigate and present a draft at the August 6, 2002 COW meeting. As long as the ordinance is passed by August 13'', the dead line for the loan will be met. Mayor Prochaska agreed and stated that the city would be looking at changing the ordinance. He noted that there will be other discussion generated from this because there are others in need of assistance. He asked that the program take this into consideration and be fair to all. He asked Attorney Kramer if another public hearing was necessary and he stated that it was not. Mayor Prochaska asked that a draft of the program presented to the Council several days before the August 6, 2002 COW meeting so that they would have a chance to look at it. i A motion was made by Alderman Sticka to continue this until the next City Council meeting; seconded by Alderman Kot. Motion approved by a viva voce vote.

Box 326 Yorkville, lllinois 60560 Tele: (630) 553-0088 Fax: (630) 5530299 July 19, 2002 City of Yorkville Attn: Anton Graff 800 Game Farm Road Yorkville, IL 60560 \ RE: Wyndham Deerpoint Highlands Subdivision, Yorkville, Illinois My client: Kevin Benson Dear Tony: This letter will serve to confirm and supplement our telephone conversation earlier this week. As I advised you, I represent Kevin Benson, the owner of a 20 acre parcel of real estate situated on Illinois Route 126 immediately adjacent and northerly of the easternmost portion of the Highlands Subdivision proposed by Wyndham Deerpoint. Kevin has retained me to represent him in an Annexation and Zoning Petition which we intend to file within the next few months with the City of Yorkville, seeking annexation and zoning of the real estate, for commercial uses, along Route 126, with residential uses west of the commercial. In reviewing the plans for the Highlands Subdivision, no provision is made for a stub for a future roadway or street connection into out 20 acre parcel. For your perusal, I am enclosing herewith a copy of the Plat of Survey of the Benson parcel accompanied by a copy of the page of the Plans from the Highlands Subdivision. You will note that Lots 363, 364, 382, 383 and 384, and Lots 402 through 412, including Parcel 19, all adjoin the Benson 20 acre tract. However, no provision has been made for a stub street. I 1 } In your review process, we request that the City insist that provisions be made for a stub to tie in either Cardinal Lane or Bluebird Lane into the Benson Parcel. Without this stub street and access through the Highlands Subdivision property we would only have one access and that would be onto Route 126. 1 do not believe that this would be acceptable to the City and is certainly not conducive toward the future development of our parcel of real estate. I am not certain that I can make the Public Hearing now scheduled for July 23, 2002. However, I would appreciate it if you would bring my client's concerns to the attention of the Council and request that provisions be made for the stub street. Thank you.

Ingemunson 226 S. Bridge Yorl�ville, IL 60560 Re: Highlands Subdivision/Mary Block Farm Dear Dallas: This letter is to confirm our discussions in your office with Mary Block, Friday, July 19, 2002. This letter is an update of my letter of June 20 and includes the revision to the landscape buffer. In setting out our agreement as I understand it, regarding the buffering between our properties, I'will begin at the furthest southwest point of our subdivision and describe the agreements going north along the east and southwest borders of our subdivision. I will refer to the revised landscape plan for the buffer areas prepared by Gary R. Weber Associates, our landscape architect, which I left at your office on Friday. We agree to the following: l . Along Parcel 9, which is designed to be a naturally planted wet detention area, there will be a 6 -foot solid fence beginning at the, southernmost comer and going north on the east border of the lot. (Pictures of the proposed treatment were previously.delivered after my site visit with Mary Block). 2. From Lots 223 north through Lots 235, the 6 -foot solid fence will continue and in addition there will be a 10 -foot landscaping easement. In the 10 -foot landscaping easement, we will plant shrubs and hedges which will grow thick enough to discourage approaching the fence and will act. as an additional buffering with the 6 -foot solid fence. As suggested, we have asked our l andscape architect to select a grouping of plant material that is hardy and will be resistant to fertilizers and pesticides which could be sprayed on the farm area. (East property line --fence/landscape buffer from landscape plan) 3. Lot 10 is also designed as a wet detention area to be naturally planted and, -as on Lot 9, a 6- foot solid fence will continue along the eastern border of that lot until it intersects the north edge of Mary Block's property.

As the property line moves east along Lot 347, we come to Parcel 16, the park site, and Parcel 17, the school /park site. The solid 6 -foot fence will continue along the full length of this southern border. On Parcel 16 (park site) and Parcel 17 (school site), there will be a a- foot high berm built along the southern border on our property and the 6 -foot fence will be placed on top of that 3 -foot berm. As the fence continues east across Parcel 18, which is another naturally - planted detention pond, the fence will go east and then north along the property. (The landscaping shall be the same as shown on the Weber plan as the east property line -- fence/landscape buffer) 5. Where the. fence intersects Lots 495 through 523 going north, there will once again be the same situation as the single - family residential lots in that there will be the 6 -foot solid fence, with a 10 -foot Iandscaping easement and the landscaping buffer plan shown as the "South property line — fence /landscape buffer" on the Weber landscape plan. 6. We will place on the final plat that is recorded on all of the lots the Kendall County Right to Farm Statement to notify our homeowners of the normal agricultural use and practices for agricultural properties.

Smith Engineering Consultants, Inc, 759 John Street Yorkville, Illinois 60560 The H YorkvWe Illinois (Our File No. C -544) Dear Mr. 13iaean: July 11, 2002 We recdived and reviewed the comment letter addressed to Mr. Dallas Ingemunson dated January 30, 2002. Please find our responsea to your comments: Cir %Nna / Dr+afnnoe Plan Comment 1: Along the easterly property lisle that is adjacent to the Florence Block parcel, there are three existing locations where runoff flows from the development ake to thr. Florence Block property. The proposed plan will consolidate these three discharges into one, located at the southeasterly corner of the development. This discharge is directed in a southerly direction and will bypass the drainage way than. flows through the Florence Block parcel. Additionally, the wdsting predevelopment flows can be characterized as 'sheet flow" or spread out over an area. The proposed plan for this area calls for a point discharge or concentrated at a point. This type of discharge would require permanent erosion control measures, l60 1: Referencing the U- S,G.S. Plattevillt Qusdrsnglo Geological Survey, the undeveloped easterly property line adjacent to the Florence Block parcel sheet flows southeasterly, The survey indicates that the above - mentioned drainage way is approximately 1800' south of Illinois Route 126, this is the approximate location of the proposed discharge. We ere proposing three options for this discharge location: 1) Point discharge, which will line with permanent rip rap as an erosion control measure. 2) 50' of perforated draintile running along the property line at the point of discharge to allow for a sheet flow affect discharge or SDR PVC pipe with equally spaced holes in the relief side of the pipe to allow for e sheet flow affect discharge. 3) Inve installing a dreintile on the Block property to carry the point discharge to a channel or defined ditch downstream_ Gnmment2: All of the discharge systems shown on the proposed plan are above ground point discharges. These concentrated flows will cause erosion emd will impact water quality downstream through the transportation of sediments. Response a: The ground point discharges will be lined with permanent rip rap as an erosion control meitsure, Jacob & Hefner Associates, P.C, is working with ENCAP Inc, to design a detention /retention pond with wctland typr. vegetation to filter sediment before the sediment reaches the discharge point. Comment 3: A field tile investigation should be completed and used to anticipate conflicts and design interconnections. 739 ROOSEVELT RD., SUITE 100 GLEN ELLYN, ILLINOIS 80137 930/942 -8000 - FAX: &%1942 -1774 TRANSPORTATION - WATER RESOURCES 4 LMO oEVElAPrAEWT • MUNICIPAL - SURVEYING 1, 07/23/012 TUE 10:06 FAX 630 9 6 6 1006 FAX No, WYND5 AAI DEER YU 1 N1 HUME 5 FROM Jul. �d deee ie ; eeMn 1- Resucase 3s A field the investigation has been completed, Notes regarding existing field tilt conflicts and connections Will be addressed in the final engineering plans.

Yorkville,IL 60560 City of Yorkville City Clerk's Office To Whom It May Concern: Sh ly, - . Jim Bertram Concerns with Northgate Proposal 1. First and foremost, the 4.9 Dwelling Units /Acre. • Existing homes in the immediate area would fall within the Estate Neighborhood definition of the Draft Land Use Plan, under 1.5 D.U. /acre. • The existing Land Use Plan shows Single Family, 2.2 -3.3 D.U. /acre; • The Draft shows Transitional Neighborhood, 2.25 -3.5 D.U. /acre. By this definition, this should be a P.U.D. Also per the definition, a T. N. may include single family attached if there is additional open space provided. It also states that "includes a mix of residential uses" not exclusively townhomes. • What is the projected impact in total number of people and children? • Has a cost analysis been done for Police and Fire protection? • Has there been an analysis for the school impact? We have just gone through a school referendum. Would this make another one necessary in a year or two? 2. , Barracks Look ", most noticeable in the attached townhome area. • Is this the look we want to present to the visitors to the "North Gate" of Yorkville? • No style, points of interest, anything. Just square, tight, dense, boring barracks. • The commercial area also has no visual "punch ", just acres of parking along the main roadway entrance into Yorkville. 3. Main entrance too close to existing private property. • Needs to be moved West to create larger buffer as traffic will be heavy, and at all hours due to the commercial property and private residences. 4. The —4- houses on the main entryway need to be removed. • There will be a large amount of traffic on this road, and these drives and yards would prove dangerous to all, especially those families living there. 5. The landscape buffer needs to be extended to include the East and South sides of the S.E. detention area. • The existing homeowners require a transition area between their yards and the detention area to minimize the chances of "falling in ". • Is this Detention area green, blue - green, or blue? What would be the depth? 6. At present, the town homes have no supplemental parking. • The present plan has narrow streets that would allow, at best, parking on one side only. Main roads should not allow any. In the current configuration, any visitors beyond a single car would need to park in the streets. 7. Access for Emergency Vehicles, Snowplows and School Busses. • Street width, curves, traffic calming islands? Can the equipment negotiate this subdivision safely, particularly with any cars parked in the street? 8. Central Park that is almost useless. • Not wide enough for a ball diamond or soccer field. This would end up being a "doggy run ", especially for the attached townhouses. • A larger park is necessary for any development this size. If it remains as is, the parking lots will be the main attraction for the children. James Bertram Raymond Bertram 9577 Galena Rd. 9525 Galena Rd. Bristol, IL 60512 Bristol, IL 60512 630 - 553 -5722 / I W / �I September 11, 2002, will be the first anniversary of unprecedented terrorist attacks resulting in a momentous loss of life and property. 2. The terrorists hoped to bring Americans to their knees. Instead, they brought Americans to their feet. The terrorists hoped to demoralize and intimidate Americans and undermine their way of life. Instead, Ameri- cans became more resolute in their commitment to cherished democratic and humanitarian principles that form the moral foundation of this nation. 3. This anniversary of tragedy is also an anniversary of triumph, a triumph of character — courage over cowardice, kindness over cruelty, service over selfishness, responsibility over indifference, love over hate, hope over fear, and freedom over repression. 4. We should demonstrate our respect for the victims of this terrible day by commemorating the lives lost and damaged, but we should also honor and celebrate the countless acts of courage, compassion, loyalty, responsibility and other qualities that represent the best in human nature and the American character. 5. We should remember September l l not only as a day of great misfortune, but as a reminder of the great fortune we possess in the character of our people and in living in a country where character counts. 6. It should be a day of reflection and education involving activities that strengthen appreciation of and dedication to the core ethical values that constitute the pillars of the American character, such as trust - worthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship. 7. It should also be a day of action devoted to community service, an element of good citizenship and an expression of good character. Community service improves neighborhoods, eases suffering and reduces injustice while enhancing the lives and strengthening the characters of those who render it. 8. Community service is also a matter of national policy expressed in President George W. Bush's call for all Americans to give at least 4,000 hours of service and in The Spirit of America Act seeking to assure that the lives lost on September l l are commemorated by acts of volunteer service. THEREFORE, be it resolved that the UNITED CITY OF YORKVILE proclaims the period commencing September 6, 2002, and ending September 14, 2002, as "American Character Week" and calls upon schools, youth organizations, community groups and government agencies to use this period to: I . Discuss and study the lives of Americans of extraordinary character. 2. Recognize local individuals who have in the past year demonstrated the highest qualities of the American character. 3. Teach young people about and encourage them to consider careers in public service. 4. Provide service - learning opportunities to young people, including at least one hour of service during this period, as a fast step in a commitment to a life of regular community service.
