PZC 2024-05 Corneils Road Solar, LLC, (same as description above) Ms. Noble said the annexation request will go before the City Council on April 23rd. She offered a few other comments regarding the petition. She noted the property is contiguous to the city boundaries. The rezoning request is for A-1 Agricultural since the zoning defaults to R-1 when a property is annexed and if the annexation request is approved, a revision will be made to the Comprehensive Plan. She noted the site is 94 acres, however, only 31 acres will be used for the solar field and all setbacks are met. The 31-acre site will hold about 11,500 modules, with a height of 20 feet. There is a 20- year lease with options to extend. Ms. Noble noted the nearest residential land to the nearest array meets the recently passed requirements. A glare study was done with no issues and the engineer is recommending a photometric plan. Fencing is required and landscaping and buffering will also be provided. The decommissioning plan was discussed with a security guarantee required. A blanket easement or license agreement will be provided to enter the property if necessary. There is also a battery energy storage system on site and is considered an accessory use. Engineering comments were provided and will be included as conditions of the special use. There was no further discussion. Action Item Rezoning A motion was made by Mr. Millen and seconded by Ms. Goins to approve PZC 2024-05 and Ms. Goins read the motion as follows: In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on April 10, 2024 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 approximately 94 acres of existing farmland located immediately north of Corneils Road, east of Beecher Road and west of IL Route 47 (N.

The public hearing up for discussion tonight is as follows: Corneils Road Solar, LLC, petitioner, on behalf of Gary L . and Betty S . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 5 Bennett, owners, has filed an application with the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, requesting rezoning classification and special use authorization. The real property is generally located immediately north of Corneils Road approximately 1700 feet east of Beecher Road and approximately 4300 feet west of Illinois Route 47, North Bridge Street, consisting of 94 acres. The petitioner is requesting rezoning approval from an R -1 Single-Family Suburban Residential District to an A -1 Agricultural District. The petitioner is also requesting a special use permit approval pursuant to Section 10-8 -5 of the Yorkville City Code for a solar farm. Is the petitioner for P Z C 2024-0 5 , Corneils Road Solar, LLC, ready? MR. KRAMER: We are. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thanks. MR. KRAMER: Good evening. I think it's on. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Yeah. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 6 MR. KRAMER: Okay. Good to know. Sorry. DANIEL J . KRAMER, having been first duly sworn, testified from the podium as follows: MR. KRAMER: Good evening. My name is Daniel J . K ramer. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Illinois. For the record, my address is 1107A South Bridge Street, Yorkville, Illinois, and I have the privilege tonight to be here representing Nexamp, which is the overall umbrella organization. It is a bit confusing perhaps if you're not used to that underneath where it's Corneils Road Solar, LLC. They provide a separate standalone LLC here in Yorkville, but it is owned by and will be totally operated by the Nexamp network. I say I have the privilege of being here because we have represented the company before, but when you look at the presentation they make tonight, they are a large solar generator in the country, they have an excellent track record, and what many of their competitors 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 7 can't tell you is they operate what they get zoned, and I think that's a real plus, so if you see this group tonight, this is the group that you're going to see down the road as well, and I think that's hugely important. They have followed along the city journey of the city coming up with some solar issues like setback, how far from the road, landscaping and so on, and even though they were filed before that ordinance was to take effect, they have observed all of those niceties, so I think you will find it will be a good community member. I also have here tonight Gary and Betty Bennett, the folks sitting in the second row right next to one another, who actually own the land and are leasing it to Nexamp. Long time community residents. They certainly wouldn't want anything bad to happen to their property. Not all of it is going to be used for solar, so they are still going to be there, so they have a true vested interest to make sure this is something we can all be proud of. Overall there are some great 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 8 community benefits in terms of green energy, tax revenue for the area, no students added to the school district. You're going to see some slides that I thought were real powerful at the Community Development Committee meeting with Krysti and with Sara a couple weeks ago about the type of plantings they do, which I think is hugely important. They are big on pollinator-type plants. So I think all of those things bode well, so I am going to pass it off to Matt Kwiatkowski, who is the primary rep for the company, and they have their engineer here tonight here as far as any technical questions, and if audience members have questions, we will write down and if we can at the end come back and try and answer their questions. Thank you. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: You're welcome. MATT KWIATKOWSKI, having been first duly sworn, testified from the podium as follows: MR. KWIATKOWSKI: Good afternoon. My name is Matt rezoning and I am with Nexamp. I am 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 9 the project developer for this project, Corneils Road Solar, LLC. We are proposing a 4 .99 megawatt community solar facility and we are seeking annexation rezoning, and a special use permit. Advance the slide, please. Just to give you a little background about our company, we were founded by two Army veterans back in 2007, and then since 2007, we have grown exponentially. We have 4 7 5 employees today. We are now vertically integrated, which Dan mentioned. We don't only develop these projects and sell them off, but we manage the whole process through operation, decommissioning. It will be the company involved, you know, in the whole project lifestyle cycle. We were voted the number one community solar company in 2023 by Solar Power World magazine, and last year we just completed the largest domestic module purchased in community solar history with Heliene in Minnesota, which is 1500 megawatts, and that just ensures that our panels are being produced 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 10 domestically and that, you know, we don't have issues with supply chain when we want to get panels, so we can get to construction faster. Next slide, please. Specific to Illinois, we started to build out our Midwest team in 2018. We have now got a Chicago office that -- last year we declared it our second headquarters. We've got 8 0 -plus employees here in the s tate of Illinois, and currently building or operating 20-plus projects statewide with 30 more in development. Our operation assets serve over 5 ,000 residents and small businesses in Illinois that want to subscribe for bill credits to save on their electricity. Next slide, please. So I 'm just going to hash through this fairly quickly just to show where we fall kind of in the electricity generation pyramid. There was two really acts that set renewable energy here in the state of Illinois into motion; one was called the Future Energy Jobs Act, or FEJA, in 2017, and more recently is CEJA, which is Climate and Equitable Jobs Act in 202 1 , and that's really, you know, an act that set a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 11 standard for a renewable portfolio of 40 percent renewable generation by 2030 in the state of Illinois. Down below you will see, you know, there is utility scale solar and wind with coal and gas plants that's generating -- and, you know, with solar that's hundreds, thousands -- thousands of acres, and that's generating electricity that's put into the transmission lines and the power companies purchase it and that's shipped, you know, pretty far. We fall on the small generation scale, so it's anything under five megawatts, which is kept on the local distribution grid, so the energy does stay local in the grid, and that's important in the fact that, you know, this electricity is really stabilizing the local grid and it stays local, and so that just kind of gives you a little overview of kind of the different types of generation. Next slide. MS. NOBLE: You should be able to advance it, the little pod. MR. KWIATKOWSKI: Sorry. And then just to further expand on community solar, sometimes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 12 referred to as shared solar, it's on the distribution grid as I said and the energy stays local. It's free to sign up. Once it's built and generating power, the subscribers receive credits for their utility bill discount on their utility bill, so that's applied to their normal ComEd bill, and it allows businesses and residential customers to access solar energy even if they can't install it on their property, whether ground mounted or roof mounted, so it allows a lot more people to be involved in renewable energy. Our engineer, Michael, is going to go through the site plans after I go through a few more slides, and I just wanted to show you some pictures as he is going through that of the visual -- we have a visual picture of what these items are. We have the equipment pad, which Michael will point out, which will be in the center of the site, houses the transformers and the inverters. As Dan said, we are a big proponent of pollinators within the site and as a buffer, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 13 and that has a lot of benefits not only for pollinating, the birds and butterflies and things, but it also helps with reduced erosion and increases in filtration of rain water. To the right you'll see your typical P V modules. We typically do a farm fence, but here, you know, the standard is a chain link fence with slats, so that's that picture right there, and then we are proposing a battery energy storage system, or BESS, and that's basically the container that houses the ion batteries. All sites we monitor 24/7 from our -- we have an operation control center and for security reasons they do have cameras, and then to the right you will see the posts and racking, and we are using a tracker system, which basically starts out, you know, tracking the sun facing east in the morning, and as the sun moves, it will face west in the afternoon. Just to give you some examples of some of our projects that are local, close to here, Burlington -- French Road Solar up in Burlington, Kane County , it's 16 acres, 2 .8 megawatts, and it serves nearly 400 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 14 subscribers. We've got one in Will County, it's Goodenow Road East Solar. It's 19 acres, 2 .7 megawatts and serves nearly 400 subscribers. This is kind of the overview of where the site is located. There is three parcels. It's located between State Route 47 and Beecher Road kind of in the middle. The exact project location is 10791 Corneils Road. It's made up of three parcels, as I said. The owners are Gary and Betty Bennett and the parcel size of all three parcels is 9 3 acres. Our project size is only approximately 35 and a half acres within the proposed array fence. The project capacity is 4 .99 megawatts and the project -- the expected project life is 30 to 40 years, and in this particular photo you can see where it's highlighted in yellow is the approximate location of the solar array, so to the west we do have the old landfill, which changes quite significantly in topography, it rises quite a bit, it's got a lot of existing trees, so it's really tucked in kind of well, and then it's set back more than 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 15 1500 feet off of Corneils Road, so it's set back quite far. And as Dan said, there is a lot of community benefits, not only the environmental benefits, but it's only a temporary use of farm ground. I know in our lifetime it seems like a long time, 40 years, but it is only a temporary use. We were required by the state of Illinois to put a -- to enter into an AIMA agreement, Agriculture Impact Mitigation Act, with the State Department of Agriculture, and that ensures we protect the farm ground during construction, during operation, and during decommissioning, things like we've got to protect the drainage, we've got to protect the topsoil, and so that agreement requires a bond that put up with the city to ensure decommissioning. Community solar also stabilizes the grid, as I said, and helps with electricity cost stabilization. A project of this size has utility savings for over 6 50 residential subscribers, and, most importantly, it really adds to the tax base without adding to demand for 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 16 public services, as Dan said. You know, once this is operational, we won't have impacts on the roads or in the schools or parks. It's also located in an area which -- we are technically in a floodway floodplain of Rob Roy Creek, and, you know, there is not a lot of development that can occur there, you know, that can generate additional revenue other than farming, but solar is one of these uses that can be used in that kind of area. So this is the model of just the projected taxes. For Year One the current taxes for the 35-plus-or-minus acres is approximately $2 ,345, and these two, the school district and the Bristol Kendall Fire District, are the two largest taxing bodies within the -- almost ten percent tax that the city has, so that equates to the 1560 for the school district and 1 63 for Kendall Fire. Now, with the solar facility, the first year we generate approximately $34,000 in aggregate tax, 22,000 going to the school and approximately 2 ,000 going to Kendall Fire District, so that's a difference of 14 times in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 17 the first year. On the right side is the projected taxes over the 40-year total. It's not that 14 as you see because, you know, there is depreciation in the facility, but it's still a five times difference. We are looking at 176,000 over 40 years currently and then, you know, with the solar facility, approximately 900,000. So just to review some due diligence that we did to date, we selected the site, executed the lease with the landlord, we have done all of our surveying, we've had pre-application discussions with the city as well as we are obviously here tonight. We've done utility studies. We do have an agreement with ComEd for interconnection, so the project is real, it's been studied, and we have an agreement with them to hook into the grid. We have done SHPO consultation, that's State Historic Preservation Office consultation, that looks at things like archeology and historic resources. No impact there. Endangered species, no impact. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 18 We have done a wetland delineation, there is no wetlands onsite. There is the stream, the Rob Roy Creek, which we are crossing and we are working with the IDN R on a nationwide permit for a culvert replacement as well as the floodplain, the floodplain permit. We have done consultation with the Federal Aviation Administration, no impact there. Done natural resource inventory, and, as I said before, we have entered into an agreement with the Department of Agriculture with that AIMA agreement. And now I will hand it over to our engineer of record, Michael with Atwell, to talk specifically about the site plan. MICHAEL KEITH, having been first duly sworn, testified from the podium as follows: MR. KEITH: Good evening. For the record, I am Michael Keith. I am the civil engineer of record for this project. Our office is located at 1 2 5 0 East Diehl Road in Naperville. What we have up on y our screen right now is the site layout. First off I want to draw 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 19 your attention to the setbacks. We are required to be 50 feet off the property line and 100 feet from the public right-of-way for all the panels and electrical equipment, and this is in order to meet the new ordinance that was recently approved as Dan mentioned, so we would adhere to the new setbacks that are required, a nd as you can see from the exhibit in your lower left corner, we are meeting those setbacks. We get close in the back of the property, but the intent of our site layout is to push everything as far away from the right-of-way as we can. Also on the site layout you will see that we strategically placed equipment pads in the middle of the site, and that's to keep them as far away from the property lines as we can. We also are utilizing the existing access on Corneils Road. There is an existing farm access. We will actually have some good access pictures of that access on later slides, but we are utilizing that access rather than getting a whole new access point on Corneils Road. And then we also are dedicated at 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 20 providing all wires underground to the point of interconnection where it will transition to cross the right-of-way, and you will see those poles on the southern end of the property near the access point where we transition up, and as Matt mentioned, Rob Roy Creek does run through our site, it runs north and south. We are currently working with IDN R to get all the nationwide permits through that with the wetlands with the Corps and we are in conversations with the Rob Roy Creek District, Drainage District, so they know what we're doing. We are going to work with our final site plans to make sure they are okay with what we're doing. The only change we're doing is we're going to widen our access across. There is currently a culvert there, we will widen the culvert, but we're keeping the size and everything the same, so we're not planning on impacting the creek at all. This sheet here shows our landscaping plan. Within the fenced-in area we are going -- as Matt mentioned, we are utilizing the site specific pollinator mix. The seed mix 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 21 not only helps us stabilize the site, provide eco-friendly ground cover, but it helps support the bees and other insects. It also helps satisfy the County Stormwater Management Ordinance requirements. The pollinator mix has a lower run-off coefficient and a higher concentration than the existing row crops. Together with the reduced run-off -- and as we've seen on another site, we are probably going to still need a stormwater management basin to help satisfy the Kendall County Stormwater Management Ordinance, but the size of the pond has reduced drastically because we are reducing the flow in the greater grand scheme of things. We also plan on utilizing the existing trees along the creek beds. We are not taking those down, we are trying to keep as many in place as we can to help provide natural screening of the facility, and then we are providing an additional screening along our southern edge of our property, on the southern edge of the fence line, to help screen it additionally. Then we are going to be surrounded 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 22 by an eight-foot tall chain link fence with privacy slats. This is an existing picture right now from Corneils Road looking north from the site. We are kind of west of the access road, but we are kind of looking back into the corner. You can kind of see the tree lines kind of on all sides of the west side of our property. This is a picture, you can kind of see the access road in the background and then the existing vegetation we plan on keeping that runs along the access road, and that will remain, that existing tree line, and you will see in the foregone is corn, so that area still is going to be planned to be farmed, so you will have the corn and you will have the -- probably corn and soy switching back and forth as we always see, but it's still planned to be farmed where we are not providing the solar array field. Here is a picture of the access road looking up. We do have plans to improve that access road. It's not going to be a dirt road, it will be gravel. We will make sure we level it out, replace it with gravel. You can see from 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 23 that access point you can barely see where we are at in the background. Here is kind of another picture. We wanted to show a picture in the winter so that you can't see all the crops and the trees. If you look, you can kind of see a green area in the back; that's actually our solar facility kind of superimposed on what it would look like. What you see there is actually the buffer that we are planning on planting, that's with the trees at full maturity, and there is a mix of evergreen trees in there, so we will get the permanent buffering through the winter months by the deciduous trees that do not have leaves on them, so we are trying to buffer the facility as much as we can from Corneils Road. And then here is another picture. This is actually the same picture with the superimposed image in the back. This is in the summer months when you've got the crops and the trees in there. You can kind of see it kind of blends in with the natural area of the site. As Matt mentioned, we did enter into an agreement with AIMA. Part of that AIMA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 24 agreement is we do a decommissioning, a decommissioning of the site, and with that we will include the steps that are required to decommission the site, which would be remove all panels, racking tiles, remove all equipment, remove concrete pads and foundations. We will do a site stabilization at the end, do decompaction, which means any construction vehicles that drive over it, we'll kind of till the land to make sure the new seeding takes hold, and we will remove and recycle all materials. What we've seen with kind of doing these estimates, it actually -- with all the equipment that's recycled, you almost make a profit when you decommission it, so, I mean, there is actually a benefit to decommissioning and recycling all the materials. And this will be -- we will provide a cost estimate to the c ity, which we will provide a bond for this for 25 years out so that if the land owner or the developer defaults, the county can use that bond to come in and decommission the site. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 25 And then this last picture is a really nice picture of the pollinators on another one of Nexamp's sites, you can kind of get an idea of what it looks like, you can see the vegetation coming in and the native flowers coming in that will help with the bee populations and provide a good stabilization. With that, we will close -- With that, we are here to answer any questions and help out with anything anyone has got. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Do you want your responses added to the record? MS. NOBLE: Your standards. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Your standards. MS. NOBLE: And your application. MR. KWIATKOWSKI: Yes. MR. KEITH: Yes. MR. KRAMER: Please. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: All right. Is there anyone present who wishes to speak in favor of this proposal? Sure. JEROME GAWLICK, having been first duly sworn, testified from the podium as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 26 MR. GAWLICK: Thank you for your time. My name is Jerry Gawlick, Jerome Gawlick. I live at 2793 Gains Court here in Yorkville. I have been representing our community, which is right now about 2 0 5 to 210 units give or take, which is going to grow to about 290 units plus. The H O A is currently under development, but will be turned over to the citizens of our community probably within the next couple of months. They are preparing the documents now, so I can't say that I am on the H O A or the board, but I will be. Not opposed to the farm, solar farm, but we just want to raise some concerns and thoughts for consideration before a pproving the annexation agreement. It is my understanding that the Planning and Zoning Commission is considering annexation of the land north of Corneils Road along Route 47, along Route 47. Is this the best and highest use for this land given its prime location near Route 47? Did you consider the delta between the difference of R -1 Residential or rezoning it 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 27 to Industrial Commercial versus going back to A -1 Agricultural with special use? Based on my readings, this would be a revenue loss. Can the city continue to take these revenue losses? Our taxes here are large to begin with. With two other solar farms a pproved, this would be the third if approved by the City Council. Before approving this, have you considered how the energy savings will be distributed to its residents? Has there been a thought splitting savings to its homeowners, industrial or commercial? It was mentioned 6 50 residential. Is that homeowners? Is that multi-family? Is a residence considered an industrial building or commercial building, just what? Again, I am a senior on fixed income and live in a development. When completed, we will have about 2 9 0 homes targeted 55 plus in which a majority of the residents are retired on fixed income. There are other similar communities as well, similar to ours. With taxes high and utilities on the rise above cost of living, can there be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 28 consideration of distribution of solar energy savings to senior residents on fixed income to help offset the continuing rise in water rates due to the installation of Lake Michigan water sources? We all know that's going to go up, it's going to be there, and it's going to be greater than the cost of living. We all know that. We accept it. Realize it's going to be. In a letter written by Kathleen Field Orr, city attorney, she had some interesting questions regarding the city trying to restrict use of land by no more than I believe five farms is what their first thought was. She states, among other things, what is unclear is the basis of such a restriction. Is it because solar farms generate minimal real estate taxes, because solar farms do not create much job opportunity, but with regard to taxes or jobs, how are solar farms different from not-for-profit organizations ? How are all solar farms the same that a prohibition would apply to it? Would the restriction apply to community solar farms. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 29 I would suggest that a study be made of restrictions of the location, size and proximity to resident communities to allow the city to prevent a proliferation of solar farms which could have a negative impact on the community. She mentions revenue loss and taxes. Can the city afford the revenue loss or do the right thing by its distribution to its citizens? I think this must be considered. These should all be considered before approving any annexation of this land as a solar farm. I thank you for your time. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Okay. Thank you, sir. Is there anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the request? PATTI BAKALA, having been first duly sworn, testified from the podium as follows: MS. BAKALA: Good evening. My name is Patti Bakala. I live between just east of the current property that you are talking about, in between there and MacArthur property, so I just had a few questions, concerns. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 30 I see where the map is going around towards the back of the property and I see the nice pictures that you have presented with all the foliage. I don't know if you are aware, but last month or two months ago they ripped out about 3 ,000 trees all along there, so there is -- none of that exists anymore that you just put up there, so my concern is being right on the edge across the creek, I don't really want to be looking at that or an eight-foot slatted chain link fence. That's not why I moved here. Taxes just went up another ten percent this year. The roads are trashed, there is trucks running up and down that access road non-stop all day long, whether it's Yorkville removing branches or burning them in the back, bringing down the trees, regrading the road, whatever. I guess I 'm just concerned if we're living there for that and what can be done. You said you would be a good neighbor. Maybe we could build a large berm, put up some trees, I don't know. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 31 Also I am kind of speaking on behalf of Joan MacArthur, I think some of that is going to come around the back of her property, and we were concerned about are we going to be annexed into Yorkville being that we are Plano? No? Okay. Those are pretty much my concerns, so hopefully we can work together on a solution because there's a lot of traffic there, so that's all. Thank you. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Anyone else want to speak in favor of it? (No response.) CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Okay. Is there anyone present who wishes to speak in opposition of this request? (No response.) CHAIRMAN VINYARD: All right. Are there any questions for the commissioners of the petitioner? Nothing? (No response.) MR. KRAMER: Can I respond to some of the questions raised? CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Please. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 32 MR. KRAMER: Thank you. Dan Kramer, again, speaking on behalf of the petitioner. Am I correct, is it pronounced Mr. Gawlup? MR. GAWLICK: Gawlick. MR. KRAMER: Gawlick. Okay, thank you. With regard to some of the questions you raised, certainly legitimate. We appreciate the input. That's why you have these public hearings. In terms of the use of the property, Mr. Keith, our engineer, I think gave a real good reason why this is the perfect place for a community solar system. Number one, it's a small generator, it's not thousands of acres of the array, and it's not taking any property out of taxation. It's kind of like -- there was an old movie Crocodile Dundee, and Paul Hogan had a great line in it. He said, you know, the dispute you're having is like two fleas fighting over who owns the dog. Neither of them do. Yorkville isn't getting any taxation from this right now. The school district is getting a smidgen, the fire protection district is getting a smidgen . But because there is floodway and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 33 flood fringe, this property cannot be developed for residential purposes, and even more so, it can't be developed for serious industrial purposes, and this young lady who spoke is absolutely correct. If you put industrial over there, she would have a lot more traffic on Corneils Road and, frankly, that road is not built for industrial. It's a tar and chip township road, and it will become the city's responsibility when it gets annexed, so the neighbors will probably end up with better conditions road-wise than they have. Again, I think the petitioners should be commended because they have put this more than 1500 feet back. Now, again, in her question about what will you look at, they will work on the landscaping, and she is correct, the pictures were taken last fall before the drainage district did all of its work, but thank God the drainage district did. We have not experienced any catastrophic flood events here since -- and I always forget if it was July of 199 6 or July of 199 8 , when we had this catastrophic storm where 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 34 we had over 14 inches of rainwater in less than a 24-hour period. People talk about hundred year storms, and of course it doesn't mean, as Michael could tell better than I , that it only happens once every hundred years, it's just a term of measurement, and in this part of the world back when we had that flood, a hundred year event was five and a quarter inches within 24 hours. So it's just not you multiply it times three to 14, it's an exponential, never happened before, and what the drainage district did was cleaned out all the kind of -- not great trees, they're not solid oaks and so on generally speaking, they are more invasive trees, so that ditch will take water and not flood a downstream subdivision like Mr. Gawlick is in or further subdivisions that are in the city, so the city was very proactive working with the drainage district and ensuring that cleaning out was done so that if we ever get that major event we're not floating our houses downstream and people calling Krysti and questioning the wisdom of what was built there. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 35 Just as kind of a rule of thumb, and I 'm no expert, I only know from land planners where I sat in a lot of these entitlement proceedings, they will tell you if you've got sod or turf grass in your front or backyard, you've got about a four-inch root structure, which does almost nothing about infiltration. And this is my favorite picture and slide in this presentation. When you get this type of pollinator mix -- and Gary being a hay farmer, he can tell you, too, with alfalfa or T imothy, any of -- clover, those kinds of root structures go down about four feet and just suck up water, so this is a win/win drainage-wise for the neighbors. I don't know where to go on the aesthetics of the slatted fence, frankly. It's the city ordinance that we provide a solid fence and so we are doing what the city provided. If you drive up 47 and turn left on Keslinger Road and go to the front of Kaneland High School, there is a small array right in front. They have a chain link fence so the kids don't get in, no slats. I don't know if they are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 36 getting any heat from neighbors, but it's worked. If you go a little further on 47 just north of the intersection with 64, the Lily Lake School has now become almost a school that was going to close, now with all the rural development it's packed with kids, they've got their own array right out in back, no fencing, no landscaping, no nothing. I am wondering if we are going to be like solar in the next ten years, much like we grew up with TV antennas, because I 'm old, they weren't real attractive on roofs, but we all lived with it. I am looking out at this gigantic tower now that I 'm sure the neighbors would probably say it's an ugly, gigantic tower, but you go about your business. So we can't have it both ways. We're cooperating with the city ordinance. If you said, you know, just do trees, just do a berm, we could certainly be flexible and work with you, but, again, don't punish the petitioners because they are following the ordinance. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 37 And as I say, I think I agree with this gentleman about the taxes. Again, being a senior myself, I don't like it one little bit, but when you put this development in that doesn't throw one more child to school, maybe you have an SUV or a pickup once a week once the array is built to go on-site just to drive around and check everything is working, maybe occasionally a maintenance vehicle for the battery or the other moving parts to the facility, other than that, it's not going to create any traffic once it's done, and the city staff has told us how they want us to bring our construction vehicles in and that they don't want semis, which we agreed to, so all in all I think we are trying to address all the concerns. I know, not personally, I wouldn't know them if they walked in now, but Mr. MacArthur that started the horse farm out there I met years ago when I was here and was city attorney here for 22 years, and he told us often about taxes in the county, but never came into the city, so the c ity, whenever they did anything out there, or the county, always tried 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 38 to protect them landscaping-wise. They have beautiful trees on their property, so we will try and continue that tradition on landscaping. But I think those are the major points raised. Is this the highest and best use for this property? I believe it is because other than Gary continuing to farm, there is no other practical use for it being a floodway, so I think you are getting a good bang for the buck. You don't have a high tax rate, and I know that's not something the city ever hears very much about. Actually the city is milling the tax bills quite low. Water rates, not so much, but we're not going to be a heavy water user, and we're going to keep more of the water in the ground. There is a famous engineer who is now passed and left us that created some waste disposal system called -- boy, I 'm losing his name now. I don't know, Mike, if you remember. He died well into his 8 0 s , but he would do land recapture systems like the development up on Fabyan Parkway, the Shodeen golf course and development, and he used to be famous at these 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Vitosh Reporting Service 815.993.2832 cms.vitosh@gmail.com PZC - Public Hearing - April 10, 2024 39 seminars for saying there is not one ounce less of water in this planet today than there was when God made it, it's just a question of the distribution of it, and his theory was don't as engineers design stuff to kick all the water to end up down at the Mississippi Delta, absorb it on-site. It's better for structures, the aquifers, and that's what these folks are doing with the deep rooted plants. The water will stay on-site, so the people like the MacArthurs and the rural people around it that have wells, their wells won't go dry because of this at all. Won't help the city deep water system, but again, there is some benefit to those surrounding farmhouses. So I 'll be quiet and the professional staff will answer any questions you have. Thank you.
