Unfinished Business None
New Business
1. PZC 2022-24 New Leaf Energy (full description above)
Ms. Noble said this goes to Public Hearing next week for annexation approval contingent
upon rezoning and special use approval. There were no issues with the rezoning, but
staff had several recommendations and conditions for the special use portion. A
photometric plan and glare study were provided. A 7-foot fence will be erected and staff
requested slats in the frontage along Beecher Rd. A Knox Box was requested for BKFD
and the city building department. The Petitioner will pay a proportionate amount for
Beecher Rd. improvements, a landscape plan will be provided and a security guarantee of
$283,078 for potential decommissioning will be escrowed with a 3% inflation rate. A
blanket easement was also requested by the city. With those conditions, staff
recommends approval of the special use request.
Page 3 of 4
Discussion: Mr. Vinyard asked if there was any conflict with the Comp Plan. Ms. Noble
said staff is OK with change of land use. He also asked about fencing with slats only on
one side, saying that the area will probably expand in 20-40 years. Mr. Olson added that
the land west of Whispering Meadows is owned by the school district, with a new school
possible there. Ms. Noble added that the distance from Whispering Meadows is far
enough that staff did not ask for additional screening. Commissioner Vinyard also asked
about possible contamination of soil or Rob Roy Creek if the solar panels failed. Tom
Ryan of New Leaf answered that silicon is used in the panels and he could not imagine
any adverse effects.
Ms. Horaz asked about insolation (access to sunlight) mentioned in the lease contract,
concerned that rays are not blocked. There would be no issues with trees or homes, said
Mr. Ryan and they are set back far enough.
Mr. Williams asked if New Leaf Energy has any plans to expand south of the train tracks,
which they do not.
Property owner Mr. Robert Loftus commented that when the industrial park on Eldamain
was constructed, the owner Mr. Don Hamman, expressed an interest in putting in a storm
sewer along the south side of this property.
Action Item
Rezoning
A motion was made and seconded by Mr. Williams and Mr. Vinyard, respectively, for
approval of the rezoning request PZC 2022-24. Mr. Williams read the motion as follows:
In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on February 8, 2023 and
discussion of the findings of fact, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends
approval to the City Council a request for rezoning from R-1 Single-Family Residential
to A-1 Agricultural District for the purpose of constructing a freestanding solar energy
system, or solar farm, contingent upon approval of annexation by the City Council, for a
property generally located north and south of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad
line, east of Beecher Road.
Roll call: Vinyard-yes, Williams-yes, Horaz-yes, Olson-yes. Carried 4-0.

2. PZC 2022-25 Giovanna Schmieder (full description above)
Ms. Noble said the property owner is seeking rezoning on a half acre property at 105 E.
Spring St., which fronts on Rt. 47. The existing home will be used for a real estate office
and the detached garage will be used for storage. The petitioner will install a hard
surface drive for parking. The rezoning request is consistent with trends in the area and
staff is OK with this request. Ms. Noble also asked that the Petitioner's responses be
entered into the public record.
Discussion: Ms. Horaz asked about the impact if the business left and she also noted that
the property ingress/egress is located close to the stop light. Ms. Noble replied the
property would remain commercial or could be rezoned. Mr. Williams asked if any
advertising would be used. Any signage would be covered by the rezoning. Responding
to Mr. Vinyard's questions about parking, Ms. Noble replied that there will be 3 spaces,
which is based on the square footage.
Action Item
Rezoning
Moved by Mr. Williams to approve PZC 2022-25 rezoning request and seconded by Mr.
Vinyard. Mr. Williams read the motion as follows: In consideration of testimony
presented during a Public Hearing on February 8, 2023 and approval of the findings of
fact, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval to the City Council of a
request for a map amendment to rezone the property located at 105 E. Spring Street from

CHAIRMAN OLSON: Tom Ryan.
MR. RYAN: New Leaf Energy.
CHAIRMAN OLSON: All right.
TOM RYAN,

MR. RYAN: Good evening, everybody.
Thank you for coming, thanks for having us. Like
I said, my name is Tom Ryan. I am the local
employee for New Leaf Energy, I am a product
developer for the state of Illinois, and why we
are here tonight is to inquire about receiving a
special use permit and also rezoning.
We are one meeting ahead of the City
Council, we're supposed to have a -- sorry, do an
annexation of the property prior, so this is a
little bit out of order, so we're looking to
rezone and get a special use permit on this
meeting today. So -- Go ahead, one more.
So tonight with me I have Jordan
Newell, who is our external counsel, and on the
line we have two of our civil engineers, Dean

Smith and Connor Glow.
So I 'd be happy to answer any
questions, or if anything comes up that I can't ,
whether in legal or civil terms, they will be
happy to step in.
So to give you a little history of
New Leaf Energy, it is a pretty new name. We are
not a new company, the name began around July,
but you might have heard of Borrego Solar.
Borrego Solar has been around for about 40 years,
started about 40 years ago in California, and we
progressed and moved our office over to
Massachusetts, Lowell, Massachusetts, where we
moved our main headquarters, and then from there
we spread and have another headquarters in
Albany, New York, and now here in Chicago, here
in Illinois and Chicago, and that is where I 'm
based out of.
So we are not new to Illinois, we
came back here in around 2017, 2018, when first
FEJA passed, as you know, and then unfortunately
we ran out of capacity on our projects, so we had
to start, so we are not new to Illinois, but then
we came back when SEJA Financial Job Act passed,

so, as you know, you are probably getting a lot
more solar projects being proposed. But we are
not new to Illinois, been around for a bit, we've
had about 40 projects statewide.
Just to give a little heads up about
some of the things that are happening, some
people get a little intimidated by the idea of
solar because there is two different kinds of
solars. There is utility scale, which you can
see from that picture and by the size it's
greater than 500 acres, so that is a huge utility
scale solar farm.
What we're doing here, what we are
looking to get a permit for, is a community solar
site, which is just about 25, 35 acres. In this
case actually we are looking at 19 acres, so it
can be done on even a smaller plot of land.
So this is the project site we are
looking at. It's right down the street here on
Beecher Road. It's owned by Bob and Hdefonsa
Loftus. It is a parcel of land that is actually
in Kendall County, it is not yet in the United
City of Yorkville, which we are looking to do, so
where we'll be, but it's three parcels of land,

pretty small, amounting to about 43 acres, and
we're only looking to use 19 acres of that, which
is going to be enough to make five megawatts of
power, which is a pretty large amount for that
small size.
We use a fixed till system, which
means it's not actually got a tracking system,
this is going to be fixed till, so it's going to
be stationary, in one position the whole time.
The access to this site is coming
right off Beecher Road there, so not doing any
kind of sitings. Proper wiring is right there,
we call it three phase wiring, going down Beecher
Road leading to the Com Ed substation up north
there.
So the reason why we picked this is
because it's the perfect land, it's the perfect
location as far as substations and the wiring,
which you think you can make a solar farm
anywhere, but obviously you have to have these
criteria to fall into, and luckily Bob and
Hdefonsa's land fell right into those criteria.
So this gives you a little idea of
what the layout looks like on a solar farm if you

aren't familiar with it. So the panels are
what's called arrays and they're lined up like
that, going from -- in this case it's going to
the south, facing east and west, and what we do
is we hook up to the Com Ed lines right on
Beecher Road there. It's called the point of
connection, so once we hook up there, everything
else, all the wiring throughout the solar farm as
we will call it, is underground to all those
different arrays, so there is no poles or wires
above the solar farm, it's just the solar panels
themselves, and the wiring is all below ground,
and what we'll do is we'll just have -- the north
side is a gravel road which comes off of Beecher
leading to the site, and the site will be
surrounded completely by a seven-foot high fence
just to prevent any accidents from happening or
any intruders, whether it's nature or people, and
we are observing proper setbacks from Beecher
Road there, and then north and south both
50 feet, and the rear there, you really have
to -- the second parcel there is actually Bob's
as well, so we don't really have to worry about
setback. We are still in a little ways from Roy

Creek, Rob Roy Creek.
And so this one is a kind of a step
back, like I said, we are one meeting ahead of
time, so we are looking to annex the land because
we looked at it and I felt like this would be a
good way to unify the United City of Yorkville
because it seems kind of funny that we have land
on the west there that is the United City of
Yorkville and on the east, but then you have this
little land bridge that is not, so what we are
looking to do is to annex this to the city.
Then you go to the next one, the
issue we have, one of the requests I have tonight
is to rezone because what happens, it's in the
ordinance, that if you do annex any land to the
United City of Yorkville, it has to become an R -1
zoned territory, so unfortunately according to
the ordinance as well, you cannot have a special
use, in this case a solar farm, on an R -1 , so we
are looking to rezone the newly annexed property
contingent to -- the meeting is next week, to an
A -1 zoned property, so we can use the special use
property to put the solar farm on there.
And just to give you some ideas of

the benefits of a solar farm, this is just -- a
solar farm is only for an interim amount of time.
We are not taking over the land for good. I like
to call it preservation. So some people say oh,
you are taking away the farm land, what I say is
we are actually preserving it.
So what we do, we have a lease with
Bob and Hdefonsa right now for 20 years with the
offer to extend, so it's only there temporarily.
What it does is actually kind of -- it preserves
the land for that amount of time, it makes it
like a box store, it provides benefit to the
taxes, and you will increase taxes by a lot to
the City of Yorkville, but it does not affect the
infrastructure, so unlike adding some kind of
other common business, such as a box store, we're
not going to have a lot of traffic, because once
we put those panels in place, we don't have
people coming and going from the site every day,
they only come a couple times a year to maintain
the property and check on the solar panels and
the system itself.
Another benefit of that is what we
do, we don't just put grass down on the site or

cement or anything negative in that sense, we put
what's called polyanders, so we do research on
what the local plants are and we put that
underneath the solar panels and any other
surrounding land we affect, and what that does is
that actually prevents erosion or helps the soil
out, so the 20 years to 40 years that it's there,
it's actually going to improve the quality of the
soil by bringing nutrients that might be lacking
and preventing erosion and all that with the root
system.
And some other benefits of the solar
farm is that we will provide some jobs during the
construction. We've got 30 to 40 construction
jobs, and then long-term, two to four long-term
jobs, people checking on the site and
maintaining.
And I have some other stuff there
about the polinators. We don't use any
pesticides or fertilizers, so we definitely try
to stay organic and don't do any negative
pollution on the property.
I didn't mention in the last slides
either, we don't use any -- the only cement we

use is kind of a base for the inverter. The
inverter is right there in the center, you can
see in that picture, we use cement for the base
of that. Other than that, we don't -- unlike a
lot of other solar companies or other businesses,
we don't use cement. We just put the tracking
system -- I 'm sorry, the racking system directly
into the ground with basically pylons, so there
is no cement, so removal of the system is very
easy as well. And that's the run-through. If
anybody has any questions.
CHAIRMAN OLSON: Is there anyone who
wishes to speak in favor of the request?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN OLSON: Is there anyone who
wishes to speak in opposition to the request?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN OLSON: Seeing as there are
none, we will hold off on questions until the
next round. Thank you.
MS. NOBLE: Can we ask the petitioner if
they want to add their responses and their
presentation to the public record?
CHAIRMAN OLSON: I would suggest so.

MR. VANAGAITIS: So I am Aaron
Vanagaitis. I am an attorney representing
Giovanna Schmieder. She owns 105 East Spring
Street off of 47 and Spring in downtown
Yorkville. She is looking to rezone it from a
standard residential to a business unit. She is
looking to turn it into a standard real estate
office. They are not expanding parking there;
they would pave the parking lot as discussed
yesterday at the committee hearing. Pave the
parking lot just to add it so parking can be done
there, but it's not going to be an in and out
office, there is not going to be a lot of clients
coming into the office, it's mainly for her to
have her own location for Keller Williams in
Oswego -- or in Yorkville, sorry, which would
eventually expand to a larger presence with
Keller Williams in downtown Yorkville.
They are looking to rezone this just
for that purpose and rent it out as a couple
other office spaces to a local lender as well,
but it is going to be a simple real estate office
right in downtown, and they've been -- we were in
discussion yesterday and that's basically where
