PZC 2021-01 Cindy Gates, on behalf of Cindy Gates Trust, petitioner, is requesting to rezone a part of their property from A-1 Agricultural to B-3 Commercial and receive a special use permit to conduct the existing landscape business in unincorporated Kendall County. The property is generally located at the southeast side of Route 34 approximately 175 feet northeast of Tuma Road. Page 2 of 3 Mr. Engberg presented the background and said this 1.5 mile review came from Kendall County. This is a request for a rezone and special use permit for a landscaping company, Cox Landscaping which has been operating at this location for 30 years. A year ago a question arose if the business had the proper zoning and special use for Kendall County. Since it could not be determined, the County recommended the business move forward to obtain the necessary zoning and permit. The property is 2 large lots along Rt. 34, one triangular and zoned commercial and the other is zoned Agricultural. The petitioner is not looking to replat, but to rezone to B-3 where the landscaping company is located. The rear portion will remain A-1. The special use will go through Kendall County special use process. Since it is a business already established there, the staff has no issues with it. Attorney Dan Kramer represents this business. Commissioner Williams asked, since this business is close to the city boundary and if the city were to expand, would the business need to be replatted, be grandfathered in or have to uproot their business. Mr. Engberg replied it could be annexed into the city and be zoned R-1. Action Item: 1.5 Mile Review Mr. Williams moved and Mr. Hyett seconded to approve the request. Mr. Williams read the motion as follows: In consideration of the proposed mile and half review of Kendall County Case 20-32 for a rezoning request from A-1 Agricultural to B-3 Commercial and special use authorization for a landscaping business at 9000 Route 34, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the City Council to not object to the request. Roll call: Williams-yes, Horaz-yes, Hyett-yes, Marcum-yes, Millen-yes, Olson-yes. Carried 6-0. 2. PZC 2021-02 Jhon Cordero, petitioner, on behalf of Cordero Real Estate, LLC, is requesting to rezone their property from A-1 Agricultural to M-1 Limited Manufacturing to conduct a tree service business in unincorporated Kendall County. The property is generally located at the southwest corner of the Galena Road and East Beecher Road intersection in Kendall County. The petitioner wishes to use the front part of the property for a tree business including mulching and the back half is an unusable wetlands. The staff had no issues with the request. Mr. Williams had concern with possible noise due to the mulching operation, however, Attorney Kramer said the mulching machine is toward the back and that a nearby cement crusher is louder than the mulcher. Mr. Hyett asked if the mulch had dye in it. The dye is soluble and does not contain chemicals according to Mr. Kramer. He added the mulch is now sold to wholesalers and eventually the business would like a retail center. Mr. Asselmeier added that the property will undergo a site plan review by county staff.
