CITIZEN COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS
Tom Ryan, a project developer from New Leaf Energy, shared information on Planning and Zoning
agenda item #1: Kendall County Petition 24-30 —1.5 Mile Review (South of 9949 and 10021 Ament
Road). He stated that he has been working on the solar project on Ament Road for a while. He said there
was a pause from 2023 to 2024 while the ordinance was being updated. Mr. Ryan noted that after this
pause, New Leaf Energy was trying to determine if it wanted to annex the parcel as it is located 0.85
miles south of the Yorkville jurisdictional area. Mr. Ryan stated that all plans have followed the
comprehensive plan, which is planned to be agricultural. He noted that he has been working with Kendall
County and Kendall Township, and they have been waiting for a stormwater permit. They are placing
pollinators underneath the solar field to help with erosion and prevent stormwater runoff. They've also
added detention ponds on the south side of the solar field. Mr. Ryan stated he is looking for approval on
this agenda item.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT
Resolution 2025-22 Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement Between
the United City of Yorkville and the State of Illinois
(Route 47 Expansion — Waterpark Way to Jericho Road)
(PW 2025-11)
Alderman Koch made a motion to approve a Resolution Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement
Between the United City of Yorkville and the State of Illinois (Route 47 Expansion — Waterpark Way to
Jericho Road) and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute; seconded by Alderman Marek.
City Administrator Olson stated that this agreement covers the construction and the City's funding of the
improvements related to the Route 47 expansion north of the City between Waterpark Way and Jericho
Road. It covers medians, stop lights, emergency signals, and utility relocations. He shared that when this
was discussed at the January Public Works Committee meeting, there were two outstanding items:
ownership and maintenance and funding for the bridge or culvert at Baseline Route and Route 47. The
bridge, just outside IDOT's right-of-way, is old and will be completely rebuilt. Once the bridge is
reconstructed, it will be within IDOT's right-of-way because the intersection will be larger. City
Administrator Olson stated that initially, the City objected to ownership and maintenance; however,
IDOT's precedence has been that it is the municipality's cost and responsibility. The City is also
responsible for the energy and maintenance cost for the Galena Road and Route 47 signal. He stated that
there are IDOT rules and maintenance requirements that state that the county is not responsible and that
the State of Illinois cannot take over. Therefore, the responsibility belongs to the local municipal
jurisdiction, no matter who owns the roads. City Administrator Olson stated that IDOT has shown
documents, and there is no way around it.
Alderman Funkhouser asked which fiscal year the City starts paying. Finance Director Fredrickson
responded that the fiscal year is 2026. City Administrator Olson stated it is generally a 3-year
construction project.

1 (WHEREUPON, the following
2 proceedings were had in the public
3 hearing portion of the meeting,
4 commencing at 7:03 p.m.:)
5 MAYOR PURCELL: We do have public
6 hearings, we have one public hearing to be
7 specific, so right now I will open the public
8 hearing for the Dave Hamann Kelaka annexation and
9 rezoning.
10 Public hearing is now open. I
11 think -- Did the petitioner want to make some
12 comments?
13 MS. BEHLAND: Yes.
14 MAYOR PURCELL: Who is here for the
15 petitioner?
16 MS. WEST: I am, sir.
17 MAYOR PURCELL: Please step forward,
18 state your name for the record, and thank you and
19 welcome.
20 KATHLEEN C. WEST,

24 name is Kathleen West of the law firm of

1 Dommermuth, Cobine, West, Gensler, Philipchuck &
2 Corrigan, and our law firm represents Kelaka.
3 Kelaka owns three parcels of land;
4 two of the parcels are located south of Faxon
5 Road and west of Kylyn's Ridge subdivision.
6 These parcels total 62 acres.
7 Kelaka is requesting that these two
8 parcels of land be annexed to the city and, upon
9 annexation, to be zoned M-2.
10 Kelaka also owns a parcel of land
11 located north of Route 34 and east of Eldamain
12 Road. This parcel is 50 acres in size.
13 This parcel has been annexed to the
14 city and Kelaka is requesting that it be rezoned
15 from the B-3 District to the M-2 District.
16 Kelaka's properties are adjacent to
17 both the Green Door and Daniels Malinski
18 properties. Both of these properties are annexed
19 to the city and are zoned M-2 for a data center.
20 Kelaka is requesting annexation and
21 rezoning of its properties so as to complete the
22 assemblage for a data center campus.
23 Kelaka has reviewed the proposed
24 annexation agreement. Kelaka understands and

1 agrees to the three conditions contained therein.
2 One, that if a data center campus is not
3 developed on the property, then the allowable M-2
4 uses are restricted.
5 Two, that a minimum 100-foot
6 landscape setback be provided along the perimeter
7 of the property.
8 And, three, that any proposed
9 development is subject to site plan review and
10 approval by the city.
11 After meeting with the Kylyn's Ridge
12 residents, village staff and a couple of
13 aldermen, Kelaka would offer the following
14 additional conditions: The height of any
15 structures abutting the Kylyn's Ridge subdivision
16 shall not exceed 55 feet in height, exclusive of
17 mechanical equipment.
18 Two, a 250-foot setback be provided
19 along the Kylyn's Ridge property line. With the
20 existing 35-foot setback on Kylyn's Ridge, that
21 would be a total setback of 285 feet.
22 And, third, within the eastern
23 100 feet of the 250-foot setback, there shall be
24 an eight to ten -foot high landscape berm.

1 I am available to answer any
2 questions, and I would request an opportunity to
3 respond to any public testimony.
4 I would ask that you close the
5 public hearing and then continue the matter until
6 the receipt of the Planning and Zoning Commission
7 report.
8 Thank you for your consideration.
9 MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you. Appreciate
10 it very much. Bart, did you have any -- or,
11 Krysti?
12 MR. OLSON: We were going to give an
13 overview of the property; I think the petitioner
14 did a pretty good job of that, so, Krysti, was
15 there anything else you want to add?
16 MS. NOBLE: No, there was nothing else
17 to add.
18 MR. OLSON: Okay. We have maps
19 available for reference if needed, but otherwise
20 I think we can go to citizen comments.
21 MAYOR PURCELL: Okay. Are there any
22 citizens who would like to comment regarding the
23 Hamann Kelaka annexation and rezoning?
24 If so, step forward and state your

1 name at the microphone, please. Thank you.
2 And just -- I should make this clear
3 because I'm sure a lot of you have not
4 participated in a public hearing before. This is
5 not a give-and-take. If you have comments, we
6 will listen, we will take notes, but we are
7 not doing a back -and -forth conversation at this
8 point.
9 MARY MAHER BARTALONE,
10 testified before the City Council as follows:
11 MS. BARTALONE: Good evening. My name
12 is Mary Maher Bartalone and I live at 1171
13 Blackberry Shore Lane. This is the very -- we
14 are in the very last house along the southern
15 border of the proposed land that is -- you are
16 trying to annex.
17 Additionally, I just want to mention
18 that I am also the Bristol Township assessor, and
19 with that comes a great deal of experience in
20 terms of property values, highest and best use,
21 generally speaking anything residential, so I
22 have worked in that office since 2014.
23 Prior to that for 15 years I was a
24 real estate appraiser in Kendall County. Prior
Vitosh Reponing Service
815.993.2832 cros.vitosh@gmail.com
City Council— Public -Hearing— February 11, 2025

1 that I was a realtor for ten years, so since I
2 graduated from college in 1990, all I have done
3 in Kendall County is put market value on
4 properties in one form or another.
5 So I guess I just wanted to throw
6 that out there because when I come forth with my
7 opinion, it is very well qualified.
8 I stand in firm opposition of the
9 annexation of these -- of the two parcels that is
10 bordering Kylyn's Ridge and also Blackberry Shore
11 Lane, so in the presentation by the petitioner,
12 the only development that was even mentioned was
13 Kylyn's Ridge. The concession regarding the
14 setbacks was only with regards to Kylyn's Ridge,
15 so we were left out completely with that.
16 Actually the application itself
17 didn't even include the mention of the use of
18 land of the adjacent property to the south, which
19 it just says A-1 Agricultural, when, in fact, it
20 is residential properties.
21 So the reason I stand in firm
22 opposition of this annexation and rezoning is,
23 well, rezoning because of the M-2. If it were to
24 be something else, it would be acceptable to the
Vitosh Reponing Service

City Council— Public -Hearing— February 11, 2025

1 people who live surrounding this area.
2 But this property, this little
3 triangle of land -- and I am not talking about
4 the one that is on the border of Route 34 and
5 Eldamain, that's completely different, but these
6 two parcels that form a triangle has residential
7 properties on two full sides, plus a creek and
8 another farm on the other side of that, and
9 whenever there is a piece of land that is
10 surrounded by that, and it's almost in its
11 entirety, it should remain the same sort of
12 zoning that is adjacent to it, so that would be
13 residential, not manufacturing, not commercial
14 even, or maybe some mixed use or some sort of
15 plan, but definitely not a manufacturing building
16 that people who live there are going to be
17 staring right at day in and day out.
18 And I feel pretty well qualified in
19 saying these sorts of things in an unbiased
20 fashion because I have also stepped in front of
21 this Council and stood in support of the M-2
22 zoning and data center plans that are being
23 proposed along Eldamain Road and Route 34, and I
24 have to do that even grudgingly because I -- we

1 border the Daniels' property.
2 That is our western border of our
3 property line itself, and I have to sit here and
4 accept that, and I do, because that is the
5 highest and best use of that land.
6 It would have been nice if it had
7 been what it was originally proposed for, which
8 was a huge residential and commercial
9 development, but, you know, life is as it is and
10 I get that.
11 But when it comes to this little
12 triangle of land that is bordered on three sides
13 by residential properties, there is no business
14 of that property being anything other than
15 residential, and I think that every single person
16 in this room would agree with me 100 percent.
17 So when you get to that little part
18 of your analysis where you have to answer the
19 question does it negatively affect the property
20 values of the adjacent properties, yes, it does
21 negatively affect those property values, very
22 much so.
23 So that is -- that is pretty much
24 where I come to my conclusion of my opinion, and,

1 just as a footnote, if for some reason you do end
2 up thinking well, we are going to annex this
3 property and we are going to make it a part of
4 the data center, there was discussions from the
5 developer that this property could be like a
6 retention area, a run-off for the buildings that
7 are adjacent to it.
8 Probably the people in this room,
9 including myself, if we had to stare at a pond or
10 a run-off from the buildings, while that's not as
11 bad, but if you are going to go that route, then
12 there is absolutely no reason you can't put very
13 strict annexation requirements, and I mean more
14 than 250 feet, it should be more like 400-foot
15 setback on those buildings and a hundred foot
16 berm.
17 And so at the meeting that we had
18 with the developer the lawyer said absolutely not
19 to that, so then that makes me wonder if they
20 really are in favor of using that area for
21 retention, but, you know, that's neither here nor
22 there, that's down the line, of course.
23 But I guess that's where I'd like to
24 end, just that I oppose it 100 percent, and if

1 you do go forward, you have to at least give this
2 special little triangle much more consideration
3 than any of the other properties that are on busy
4 roadways that it makes more sense.
5 That's all I have to say.
6 MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you for your
7 comments. Is there anyone else who would like to
8 speak?
9 Step forward, state your name,
10 please.
11 BRIAN CARRABOTTA,
12 testified before the City Council from the podium
13 as follows:
14 MR. CARRABOTTA: Good evening. My name
15 is Brian. I live at 1131 Blackberry Shore Lane
16 with my wife and two small children.
17 Some of you may know me from our
18 correspondence previously via email to express my
19 concerns and ask a few questions about the
20 hearing process.
21 There has been a dark cloud hanging
22 over our neighborhood since we received our
23 notices of annexation and rezoning of Hamann
24 Kelaka, LLC.

1 The reason my neighbors and I are
2 here are due to the proposed annexation and
3 rezoning south of Faxon, west of Iroquois Lane.
4 As you can see on the proposal
5 aerial map, 23 existing residences will be
6 directly impacted, as well as hundreds of
7 residents who live in Kylyn Ridge and Kendall
8 Marketplace.
9 If you haven't already, I encourage
10 you to take a short drive to the requested area
11 and see how close this proposal is to many of our
12 homes.
13 The Yorkville City administrator,
14 Bart Olson, was quoted, I don't think this city
15 council or future city councils will allow a data
16 center to be near an existing residential area or
17 the river. Prove Bart right.
18 Prior to this evening there has been
19 extensive amounts of Yorkville land
20 rezoned/annexed for general manufacturing.
21 270 acres of land southwest of our neighborhood,
22 west of Beecher Road and north of U.S. 34 was
23 rezoned for general manufacturing for DMYF, LLLP.
24 Over 200-plus acres of land north of

1 Faxon off Eldamain have also been rezoned to
2 manufacturing in anticipation of a data center
3 constructed for Hagemann Trust.
4 The Hagemann trust and CyrusOne data
5 center is already moving forward with plans for
6 nine data center buildings, an electrical station
7 and six stormwater basins.
8 A new proposal to rezone A-1
9 Agricultural Manufacturing for a future data
10 center just north of Faxon, this proposed land is
11 DMYF.
12 I relay all these recent upcoming
13 rezonings/annexations to the Council to show the
14 proposed Hamann Kelaka, LLC in our neighborhood
15 is redundant and unwarranted.
16 I was here the night the Council
17 proposed for the rezoning of A-1 Agricultural
18 north of Eldamain and Hagemann Trust. Two of the
19 Council members voted no for the rezoning since
20 it would directly impact two current Yorkville
21 residents and needed further information
22 provided for voting yes.
23 Tonight that number has increased to
24 23 directly and over a hundred indirectly.

1 My wife and I moved to Yorkville to
2 grow our family and be part of a welcoming
3 community. While working on recent home
4 improvements, I have intrusive thoughts growing
5 in my mind: Do we continue to make our house a
6 home or is Hamann Kelaka, LLC and this Yorkville
7 Council pushing for us to put for -sale signs in
8 front of our yard? We did not sign up to live in
9 manufacturing zones.
10 Some key highlights against data
11 centers are excess light pollution, noise
12 pollution, manufacturing traffic our neighborhood
13 streets cannot support, ample amount of energy
14 consumption for work and maintaining outdated
15 cooling systems.
16 As far as I am aware, successes for
17 Yorkville data centers are still waiting to be
18 seen.
19 On average, a data center can last
20 10 to 15 years depending on maintenance and the
21 ever -evolving digital development.
22 Let the existing areas zoned for
23 data centers pave the way to prove Yorkville data
24 centers are worth it, not the Kylyn and Kendall

1 Marketplace residents.
2 We are here tonight to ask for your
3 help to prove Bart Olson's thoughts of the
4 Council right.
5 Tonight is our neighborhood's one
6 chance to keep our houses homes. Over 450 acres
7 of land are already in development for data
8 centers in Yorkville with more on the way. Data
9 for Yorkville data centers are still unproven
10 prior to making this major decision tonight.
11 The Yorkville website states that
12 the United City of Yorkville is located in the
13 fourth fastest growing county in nation. In 2022
14 the population of Yorkville was shy of 24,000;
15 2023 was nearing 25,000.
16 This Council recently approved the
17 residential expansion with approval for the
18 Heartland Meadows West, proving that the Council
19 believes our neighborhood to grow residentially.
20 Allow Kylyn and Kendall Marketplace
21 to grow residentially and not be converted to a
22 manufacturing zone.
23 Prove Bart right about the Council.
24 Thank you.

1 MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you very much.
2 Anyone else? Just step forward. There is two of
3 you. Figure out who wants to go first.
4 TODD VANDERMYDE,
5 testified before the City Council from the podium
6 as follows:
7 MR. VANDERMYDE: Members of the City
8 Council, Todd Vandermyde. I live at 2341
9 Iroquois Lane in the Kylyn Ridge division. I
10 back up to -- our yard backs up directly to this
11 piece of property you are talking about zoning.
12 Some of the information we've heard
13 tonight about the maximum height of the building
14 and the 250-foot setbacks appear to be a good
15 start to trying to bring this into a useable
16 thing.
17 I am opposed to the annexation in
18 general because I don't think manufacturing
19 zoning needs to be up against this very
20 residential area.
21 And it's kind of ironic because a
22 few years ago I came to the City Council, I had a
23 small business, it was a gun business, and even
24 my license said manufacturing and I asked for an
Vitosh Reponing Service

City Council— Public -Hearing— February 11, 2025
20
1 exemption because I wasn't going to be doing any
2 physical manufacturing, I wasn't going to be
3 anything close to this, and the City Council said
4 no. The majority of the people here said no.
5 I could not move my business into my
6 garage, even though it was not going to change
7 the traffic flow, it was not going to impact my
8 neighborhood. Even though all my neighbors
9 thought it was just fine for what I was going to
10 be doing there, you said no.
11 And I don't think when you're
12 talking about the couple hundred square feet of
13 my garage is where I was going to be operating
14 out of, and now you're talking about putting, you
15 know, a building on a couple hundred acres or
16 multiple buildings on a couple hundred acres. If
17 you are going to do anything, it definitely needs
18 to be south towards 34.
19 And, again, I am still opposed to
20 it, but it would -- you know, you need to take
21 into consideration that it has to be south of the
22 pond that's behind Home Depot.
23 The people at Blackberry Shores
24 don't deserve to be backed up against a hundred

21
1 foot berm, and I don't even know how that's even
2 going to be workable because, as an operating
3 engineer, if it's a multiple slope that's three
4 to one at a hundred feet tall, that means that
5 the base has to be 300 feet wide. That's just
6 the typical math.
7 But I guess, you know, I came to the
8 City Council, I tried to follow the rules when I
9 had my small business. You said no. I turned
10 around, relocated my business to Plano for a few
11 years.
12 During that time I generated over
13 $150,000 in sales tax that did not go to the
14 village of Yorkville because we relocated because
15 you said no, but I am fearful that the dollar
16 signs that I have heard bandied about for this
17 project just overwhelm that kind of thing, so I
18 would say that if you are unwilling to grant a
19 variance to me, I don't think there should be a
20 variance here.
21 Thank you.
22 MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you very much.
23 DAWN WATSON,
24 testified before the City Council from the podium
Vitosh Reponing Service
815.993.2832 cros.vitosh@gmail.com
City Council- Public Hearing - February 11, 2025
22
1 as follows:
2 MS. WATSON: Good evening. My name is
3 Dawn Watson, I live at 604 Yellowstone Lane, and
4 I just wanted to express my concerns about the
5 possible annexation of this property.
6 My concerns are -- have a multitude
7 of reasons. My first reason is that we moved to
8 our home in 2016 because of the wonderful
9 residential area that it is, and I don't live in
10 Kylyn's Ridge, I live in Cannonball Estates,
11 which is right next to Kylyn's Ridge and would
12 still be impacted by this annexation.
13 The reason why we chose this
14 subdivision is it was Halloween time and we
15 started driving around and we noticed all of the
16 communities, all of the kids that were outside
17 playing and all of the Halloween decorations that
18 were out, and we were like oh, my gosh, this is
19 such a family -centered community.
20 How is it that we are having a
21 family -centered community with Kylyn's Ridge,
22 Blackberry Shores, Cannonball Estates and
23 Whispering Meadows and now we are looking at
24 turning it into industrial?
Vitosh Reponing Service
815.993.2832 cros.vitosh@gmail.com
City Council— Public -Hearing— February 11, 2025
23
1 It's not industrial. We are not an
2 industrial area. We do not want to live in an
3 industrial area.
4 First of all, aesthetically it looks
5 horrible, but let's think about the safety
6 pieces. One, there is an increase with
7 pollution. Let's talk about those small children
8 that are playing outside. We don't need them
9 exposed to additional pollution.
10 When I ask Google, Google AI, about
11 how safe it is to live by a data center, looking
12 at the EMFs and the RFs, and I do think they are
13 somewhat of a credible source.
14 Even though I don't recommend my own
15 students using AI, I do think they are a credible
16 source here considering data centers are helping
17 AI.
18 It said according to the current
19 scientific understanding, living a few hundred
20 feet away from a data center is generally
21 considered safe enough to avoid any negative
22 effects from EMF and RF radiation as the levels
23 emitted are typically well below the safety
24 standards.

City Council— Public -Hearing— February 11, 2025

1 However, if concerned, maintaining a
2 distance of a quarter mile or more should be
3 considered prudent based on precautionary
4 measures.
5 So if AI is telling me hey, you
6 don't want to live that close to a data center,
7 perhaps we should listen to AI and not live that
8 close to a data center.
9 Thank you.
10 MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you very much.
11 Anyone else?
12 TIFFANY SCHRAEDER,
13 testified before the City Council from the podium
14 as follows:
15 MS. SCHRAEDER: Hi. I am Tiffany
16 Schraeder, and I am at 889 Canyon Trail. I am on
17 the board for our Kylyn Ridge homeowner's
18 association.
19 1 didn't really write anything, but
20 I just wanted to express I am really opposed to
21 this. I have lived in my home since 2003. My
22 kids have grown up in it and I hope my
23 grandchildren grow up in it, but having a data
24 center literally in my backyard, scary.

1 I am a breast cancer survivor, and

3 my health again? It's not okay.
4 I would like for you guys to feel --
5 how would you feel if that was in your backyard?
6 I mean, really think about it. Like how would
7 you feel if it was literally in your backyard?
8 You wouldn't want it either.
9 Yorkville -- that's not -- there is
10 so much land in Yorkville that they can put it,
11 not right behind all these homes, all these
12 families.
13 And we are an amazing neighborhood
14 and you are just going to ruin it, so I oppose it
15 and I really hope you guys listen to us because
16 we really, all of us here, do not want it.
17 Thank you.

19 We've got one more?

24 want to support and register my support for the
Vitosh Reponing Service

27
1 other speakers and for my neighbors, and we are
2 drilling down on a specific, but I want you all
3 to think about what Yorkville is going to look
4 like in the big picture.
5 I moved here in 2008, met a nice
6 guy. He was already here. Moved my family here.
7 Absolutely fell in love with Yorkville.
8 I love that we have horse farms and
9 a water park and family stuff and green and a
10 wonderful forest preserve, and I don't want us to
11 miss out on creating and continuing to create the
12 beauty that is Yorkville.
13 I thought at one point we were going
14 to move, I didn't think Yorkville was going to
15 realize its full potential, and then something
16 sort of clicked and changed and it's been doing a
17 great job growing, but we need to grow the right
18 way, and putting a data center in that triangle,
19 I don't begrudge anybody wanting to sell farmland
20 that they have held on to for a long time, I
21 don't begrudge us growing, but in the right ways,
22 in beautiful ways that make people want to stay,
23 that keep our real estate at the level that it
24 needs to be at.

2 you really want Yorkville to look like if you are
3 in Kylyn's Ridge looking at a potential data
4 center.
5 Thank you.
6 MAYOR PURCELL: Thank you very much.
7 BAILEY CARRABOTTA,
8 testified before the City Council from the podium
9 as follows:
10 MS. CARRABOTTA: Mine is a little less
11 factual and a little bit emotional, so I wrote it
12 down.
13 My name is Bailey Carrabotta.
14 Earlier you heard from my husband, Brian. As he
15 mentioned, we live on Blackberry Shore and our
16 home backs up to the property being discussed
17 today.
18 So when we moved into our home in
19 2022, we came with our one -year -old daughter, I
20 was eight months pregnant with our son.
21 This home in the Yorkville community
22 was one that we felt a really strong connection
23 to, combined all the conveniences of suburbia and
24 the laid-back quietness of cornfields and

1 farmland.
2 This home and the neighborhood was
3 one that we intended to stay in for the rest of
4 our lives.
5 With open residential lots still
6 available on our street, we imagined these homes
7 being built and filled with families similar to
8 ours.
9 We imagined those lots filled and we
10 would finally have a sidewalk that went all the
11 way down the street so our kids could safely ride
12 their bikes to their grandmother's house or the
13 park, and now we feel that converting the land
14 directly behind our homes to manufacturing,
15 especially with the current annexation terms,
16 will not only bring non-residential -- or, I'm
17 sorry, non-residential traffic, constant noise
18 and light pollution, but it's likely to impact
19 the value of our homes and empty lots to be
20 filled. Who knows if our sidewalk will ever be
21 complete for the kids to enjoy.
22 We, like many other homeowners who
23 will be affected, have poured so much time,
24 money and love into our homes. People -- I'm

1 sorry.
2 Please don't promote the destruction
3 of our investments and consider the number of
4 lives impacted by these decisions. It's not just
5 the homeowners here today, but every member in
6 that community and their families.
7 Many parents don't have the luxury
8 of stepping away from their kids late on a
9 weekday evening like I do. I am gracious for the
10 support of my mother who lives down the street
11 from us who is able to watch the kids, and I am
12 proud to represent the parents who can't be here
13 and are affected by the situation.
14 Thank you.

1 as follows:

3 Chilelli, I live at 2397 Iroquois Lane, and I
4 just want to say that I oppose the data centers
5 coming.
6 I don't have anything prepared.
7 Sorry.
8 MAYOR PURCELL: That's okay.
9 MS. CHILELLI: But I have lived in this
10 neighborhood since 2004 when we built the house
11 there and it was open, you know, aside from our
12 neighborhood, Whispering Meadows wasn't even
13 there at that point, and it would just be nice
14 if -- like everyone else has said, if the area
15 was preserved, the openness and the green space,
16 and just it's -- we don't need manufacturing
17 right behind our homes.
18 Like nobody wants to look outside of
19 their, you know, back windows and see
20 manufacturing plants or be kept up at night
21 because of lights and things like that, and then
22 there is the impact of the safety issue and
23 everything like that, so I just want to say that
24 I oppose it and I hope you will take all of our

Good evening, my name is Clay Hamm, I live on Patricia Lane off Cannonball Trail. Last Thursday, my wife
was riding her bike on the west side of Cannonball Trail, it was a bright sunny day with clear skies.
Several of her grandchildren waved and called out to her as she passed their house next to New Life
Church. She was wearing a reflective vest and helmet, her bike had flashing lights, the road was dry and
there was no oncoming traffic when she was struck by a car going in the same direction as her at 3:15
pm. She went down hard. At 66 years of age, her broken wrist and ribs will heal, and she will recover, but
not fully. Her life will never be the same. After the surgery she will never have 100% mobility. The entire
incident is on video, and I will make it available to anyone interested in seeing it.
In 2020 1 brought up the topic of the speed limit on Cannonball Trail, I polled many of the residents on
Cannonball Trail, Amanda Lane, and Patricia Lane, who almost universally thought the speed limit should
be lowered. You may remember this, I submitted this information, and it was discussed in a zoom
meeting. I was assured at that time the speed limit was "correct". I and many residents of Cannonball
Trail disagree. While someone may say the speed limit is "correct", it is not safe. Subsequently, speed
studies were conducted, and road reconstruction was done to lessen and bank the curve. I would like to
know if there are plans for a follow-up speed study. If one of the intended purposes for the road
construction was to slow down traffic, a follow-up study would reveal if that was achieved. While the
money spent on this construction was well spent, I think it should be seen as the first step of a larger
plan to make Cannonball a safe road for all residents, children and adults who are on foot or bicycle.
There are other traffic calming measures that can be made to slow down traffic and reduce traffic flow
on this road, which has become a shortcut between 34 and 47. Many improvements have been made to
transform Yorkville into a more walkable city; another bike path like the Darlene McCue Trail would be a
valuable additional improvement. Many more people would walk or bike to Kendall Marketplace instead
of taking the car if there was a safe way to do so. In addition to the follow-up speed studies I mentioned,
I would also like to ask for the ball to be set in motion for a bike path on Cannonball Trail.
You heard me mention the grandchildren calling out to my wife as she passed their house. I did so in an
effort to tug at your heart. This incident could have turned out differently; I could have been here telling
you of her death instead of her broken wrist, it was that close. Thank you.
