PZC 2019-21 Tyler Edwards, petitioner, on behalf of Menard's, Inc. has filed an application with the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, requesting final plat approval to resubdivide Lots 1 & 2 of the Menard's Commercial Commons, an approximately 37-acre parcel, located in the northeast quadrant of Marketview Drive and E. Countryside Parkway in Yorkville, Illinois. Ms. Noble said Menard's is seeking final plat approval on the 2 lots they own. They are proposing to extend a gate to create an automatic express lane where customers can scan a barcode and gain entrance to pick up their purchase. Since the gate is attached to the building, 60 feet is needed around the building and with that requirement, they could not maintain their sideyard setback. Lot 1 currently has the store and Lot 2 is an empty lot and they wish to move the lot line. Cole Helfrich was present on behalf of Menard's. He said they are making this improvement on all their stores and both lots are under the same ownership. Page 3 of 3 Action Item Final Plat Approval Chairman Olson entertained a motion for approval.
