Presentations:
1. PC 2005 -61 Rush Copley — Concept PUD Plan — John Phillipchuck was here to
present the Concept. The plan accommodates John St. The sewer lines would be
relocated to accommodate a circular roadway system. This would also connect
with Beecher Road. The family has asked to retain a 1 V2 acre parcel to be used as
a non - medical office or Bank. The rest of the PUD calls for Medical related office
buildings and a future Hospital site. It is currently zoned O (Office) A Hospital is
not in the O zone class. B 1 only allows for a 2 story building, and the Hospital
would be 4 stories. There will be a signalized intersection with full access at
Beecher Road and Rt. 34. South of the Hospital Campus would be Residential.

2. PC 2005 -63 Heartland Crossing — Concept PUD Plan — This has frontage on Rt.
47. There will be commercial nodes at Ament Rd. and Rt. 47 and the relocated
Wheeler Rd and Rt. 47. These are single Family attached homes. There is a
potential school and park site for a potential middle school. Windett Ridge has a
potential Elementary School site. This plan has 833 lots with 127 lots having
access to the trail system without having to cross any streets. It would be .9 units
per acre. 95 % of the lots back up to open space. There is 139 acres of open space
and 5 1 /2 miles of trails. The trails go for great distances without crossing any
streets and can connect to other trail systems. They will be paved with asphalt.
Currently there is no off street parking planned for the park. There is a concern
about the name. Already there is a Heartland, and a Heartland Circle. There was
some discussion that adding Heartland Crossing may add confusion, for example
Emergency Vehicles and UPS. Deliveries and Emergency Vehicles would be
going to street addresses, not subdivisions. An emergency access is needed at the
bottom of the long loop / cul -de sac. There will be a HOA for maintenance with a
backup SSA. Plan Commission had a concern with the commercial strip. Com Ed
has a 60 foot right of way, and in addition to that, there will be a 40 foot setback
with landscaping and buffering. There was also concern with the grocery store.
Grocery receiving happens at all hours of the day and night. Soundproofing will
be addressed with the orientation of the docks and buffering between the
commercial and residential.
Detail Board Report (Bill list):
There was a question about the odd dollar amount for the drug testing and how many
tests were done. This will be looked into. The Bill List will move on to City Council
for consideration.
Items Recommended by Committee for Consent Agenda:
1. PS 2005 -12 Police Reports for November 2005
2. PS 2006 -01 Police Reports for December 2005

The Consent Agenda items will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
Mavor:
1. ZBA 2005 -58 Saravanos Properties — Sign Variance — A 228 square foot sign is
being requested. It would have 20 8 square foot panels. A variance is for a
hardship. The hardship in this case is that it is a triangular lot. The signage is for
the 20 possible tenants in the back of the property. The tenants could advertise that
they are in the shopping center, and then not every tenant would need to have a
sign. The petitioner will go back and work on an alternative.
Citv Attornev:
1. COW 2006 -01 Ordinance Annexing Inland Property (Bristol Ridge) — This
was tabled at the developer's request.
i
Paae 3 of 4
2. COW 2006 -02 Purchase Agreement for Post Office Property on Hydraulic
Avenue — What the City does with the Building depends on whether it is eligible
for the TIF. If there is no TIF, another funding source must be found. This will
move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
Economic Development Committee:
1. PC 2005 -45 Onishi — McHugh Professional Building — Annexation Agreement
— The residents surrounding this property are concerned with the safety. This will
bring additional traffic. There were also concerns about the lighting and the
possibility of crime. This does not meet the current comprehensive plan, and the
residents wonder if their property values will decrease. This is a low intensity use
and will be a masonry building with a residential feel. A larger setback will be
looked at being put into the agreement. The only entrance in onto McHugh. On
the back sides there will be a fence along with the existing trees. Plan Commission
was 5 -1 against this. If this property does not annex into the City, the City has no
control of what goes on this property. The current house is so old with so many
modifications it has no preservation value. This will move on to City Council for
consideration.
2. PC 2005 -37 Corneils Crossing — Annexation Agreement and Preliminary Plan
. — This will move on to City Council for Consideration.
3. PC 2005 -16 Kendallwood Estates — Preliminary Plan — This has access to Rt.

be a minimum of 12,000 square feet with the average being 15,000 square feet.
There will be some tree removal due to the grading issues. They will try to save
some. There will be no land donated, it will be all cash and be used to improve the
bike path. The trails on the Com Ed easement have not yet been negotiated.
4. PC 2005 -54 Grande Reserve Unit 12 — Preliminary/Final Plat — Pasquinelli has
purchased 2 Units from Grande Reserve. It will be a Phased development. This
will be a rear loaded court home product. There are 164 units. This will move on
to City Council.
5. PC 2005 -55 Grande Reserve Unit 13 — Preliminary/Final Plat — This is a front
loaded product with 245 units. Mill Road will be improved by the City. This will
move on to City Council.

7. EDC 2005 -09 Facade Improvement Agreement — This was amended. The word
Pilot was removed. The restriction for the downtown Business District was
changed to be able to use this program all over town. There are 3 priorities. #1 is
the Downtown are, #2 is along a major arterial, and #3 is in neighborhoods. If the
corrected version is in by Friday, this will move on to City Council.
8. EDC 2005 -03 Kendall County Transportation Development Fees Draft
Agreement — This fee would be for the use of improving County arterials. The
money would be collected and held by Yorkville and spent on roads within
Yorkville. The issue of maintaining the city streets that lead to the County
Complex came up. The County might be willing to help pay for the maintenance.
This agreement will move on to City Council.

and be a specialty Legislative counsel. Alderwoman Burd recommends the firm of
Ansel Glink. This attorney would report to the City Attorney. They would be used
case by case as needed. They are not hired in an ordinance, but they would be
identified. There was some discussion about letting other firms as well as Ansel
Glink give presentations and make proposals to the City. This is better handled in
Executive Session.
Additional Business
Alderman Munns said the light at Rt. 34 and Sycamore is not working properly.
Alderman Leslie asked about the actuator at Rt. 47 and Landmark Dr. He said when
he was driving his motorcycle the light did not change. This is thought to be a
problem with motorcycles, not the actuator.
Mayor Prochaska said the staff will be monitoring the progress of the solid waste area
being discussed with the county at this time. The City Officials have been invited by
the Chairman of the County Board to talk with their attorneys. The location is very
close to being adjacent to the City.
