CITIZENS COMMENTS
Nancy James of 508 Heustis St. stepped up to the microphone and said she objected to the
rumor that a power plant was going up on Eldamain Road and Corneils Rd. She requested the
City Council to please explore and research if this company is going to annex this non - contiguous
land into the - -City-.
Mayor Prochaska responded that the petition is to the County, not to the City of Yorkville. He said
j the County will come to the City of Yorkville for recommendation because this is within the mile
and a half radius of the city. He said the City has requested wording be put in that if this area
would become contiguous- -it -would annex to the City.
Attorney Kramer stated this would come to the Plan Commission level because it is within the mile
and half radius and it would go through all the hearings as if it was a city petition.
Mayor Prochaska stated this was originally being talked to Plano about, but since the boundary
agreement its now on Yorkville's side of Eldamain Rd. He said he has had some preliminary
discussiorrwith aiidthey have said they are putting a petition into the County. He said
there would be a Public Hearing at the Plan Commission.
