PZC 2025-03 Ali Bukhres, on behalf of Quik Trip Corporation, petitioner, has filed an application with the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, requesting sign variance approval to permit two (2) monument signs to be erected, which exceed the maximum sign area, maximum sign height, and maximum number of signs as stated in Section 10-6-6-B of the Yorkville United Development Ordinance. The real property, zoned B-3 General Business District, is located at the northeast corner of State Route 47 (South Bridge Street) and State Route 71 (Stagecoach Trail) intersection. 2. PZC 2025-06 Michael Holzer, petitioner, has filed an application with the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, requesting a bulk regulation variance to Section 10-3-9 of the Unified Development Ordinance, seeking to reduce the required minimum front yard setback from fifty (50) feet to forty-two (42) feet for a parcel located at 904 S. Bridge Street. The real property, zoned B-3 General Business District, is located near the northeast corner of Illinois Route 47 (South Bridge Street) and Illinois Route 126 intersection. (See Court Reporter's transcript of Public Hearings) (Petitioner's Standards & Responses to be included in the Official Record) At approximately 7:19 pm a motion was made by Ms. Linnane and seconded by Mr. Forristall to close the Public Hearings. Roll call: Forristall-yes, Hyett-yes, Crouch-yes, Green-yes, Linnane- yes, Vinyard-yes. Carried 6-0. Unfinished Business None New Business 1. PZC 2025-03 Ali Bukhres (see full description in #1 above) Ms. Noble presented the background for this request. She said the original development for this parcel was for Graham's C-Store and a monument sign 20 feet in height had been approved. It was consistent with the Shell station to the southwest. That development did not happen, but QuikTrip kept the zoning after taking over the property. They were granted approval for 2 signs at the 7 foot, 10 inch height. The state requires that gas stations have to advertise for all products offered, necessitating the sign size. When adding the brick it gave them the extra height in the sign area so they didn't need a variance for height, but still need a variance for area as well as number of signs. Staff is supportive of the request. Mr. Bukhres is only requesting 8 feet while other comparable signs in the area are much higher. Ms. Noble read the standards for the variance with Commissioners agreeing to the conditions and the petitioner responses were added to the record. Action Item Variance Chairman Vinyard asked for a motion to approve PZC 2025-03 QuikTrip sign variance. So moved by Ms. Linnane and second by Mr. Forristall. The motion was read by Chairman Vinyard as follows: Motion: In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on April 9, 2025 and approval of the findings of fact, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval to the City Council for a request for a variance to Section 10-6-6-B.2 of the Unified Development Ordinance, increasing the maximum sign area from 48 square feet to 62 square feet and increasing the maximum number of signs on the property from 1 per 800 linear feet of frontage to 2 signs per 800 feet of linear feet of frontage. Roll call: Hyett-yes, Crouch-yes, Green-yes, Linnane-yes, Vinyard-yes, Forristall-yes. Carried 6-0. Page 3 of 3 2. PZC 2025-06 Michael Holzer (see full description in #2 above) This petition summary was presented by Ms. Mendez. She said the petitioner is requesting a variance to reduce the front yard setback from the required 50 feet to 42 feet for the office building he is proposing to build for his non-profit. His access point would be off Rte. 47. The lot size is approximately .3 acres and he has limited space for the building. All other setbacks are being met as well as the required number of parking stalls. She noted that some of the properties surrounding his, have similar setbacks. Ms. Mendez noted that the UDO allows certain variances to be granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission, this petition being one of them. The UDO says that if the requested setback is less than 25% of the required amount, the PZC can grant the request. Mr. Holzer's is only 16% less than the required. She then read the standards for this request and the Commissioners verbally agreed with them. Action Item Variance Chairman Vinyard entertained a motion to approve PZC 2025-06 Michael Holzer petition to reduce the front yard setback. So moved and seconded by Commissioners Green and Forristall, respectively. Mr. Vinyard read the motion as follows: Motion: In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on April 9, 2025 and approval of the findings of fact, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval for the request for bulk regulation variance to Section 10-3-9, Bulk and Dimensional Standards of the Unified Development Ordinance, reducing the required minimum front yard setback in the B-3 General Business District from fifty (50) feet to forty-two (42) feet.

The purpose of these hearings is to invite testimony from members of the public regarding the proposed requests that are being considered before the commission tonight. Public testimony from persons present who wish to speak may be for or against the request or to ask questions of the petitioner regarding the request being heard. Once all the public hearings on tonight's agenda are closed, the commission will deliberate on the vote and vote on their recommendation to the City Council for each of the matters that was subject of tonight's hearing. Those persons wishing to testify are asked to speak clearly, one at a time, and state your name and who you represent. You are also 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 Hearings - April 9, 2025 6 asked to sign in at the podium.

CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Thank you. You guys may be seated. All right. So before we begin, I 've got a little lengthy script going here. Before we begin, I 'd like to review some of the rules to ensure an orderly and productive hearing. When speaking, please make comments that are focused on the matter at hand. Avoid personal attacks, unrelated topics or repeating points that have already been made. As chairman, I may limit repetitive remarks or redirect speakers to stay on topic. Any member of the public who repeatedly disrupts or interrupts any of tonight's hearing may be asked to leave the chambers. We ask that audience members remain silent during tonight's hearings unless 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 Hearings - April 9, 2025 7 speaking at the podium. The court reporter must record tonight's testimony, and cooperation from the audience will make her job easier and the transcription of these hearings more accurate. The commission members may ask clarifying questions at any time and the public may direct relevant questions to the petitioner either through myself or via direct cross-examination. Likewise, the petitioner may respond to public comments and ask clarifying questions of the public speakers. Once all the public comments have been heard, I will formally close the public comment period, after which the commission will deliberate and will vote. Thank you for your cooperation and participation with this. So the order of receiving testimony tonight will be the petitioner's presentation, followed by those who wish to speak in favor or in opposition of the request.

The real property, zoned B -3 General Business District, is located at the northeast corner of State Route 47 and State Route 7 1 . Is the petitioner present and prepared to make your presentation? MR. BUKHRES: Yes. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Please. ALI BUKHRES, having been first duly sworn, testified before the Commission from the dais as follows: MR. BUKHRES: Just wanted to start out the evening by thanking everyone for allowing us to present to you, and I will try to make this short, sweet and straight to the point. You can move on to the next slide. 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 Hearings - April 9, 2025 10 So previously we -- in October of '23, whenever we were going through the project, we had a couple monument signs approved. At that time we weren't going to do a third product at our development. Moving on to 2024, we decided to advertise our third product, which is E 8 5 , and we realized that we needed a bigger sign to do that, and with that we requested a sign variance to enlarge our sign so we can show our third product at that site. The previously approved sign was at the height -- size was seven foot ten inches with 54 square foot in area. At the time the current sign did meet code and -- but with the enlargement of this sign, is no longer within code. This is the proposed sign after our April 1 st meeting. We understood that the base was more in line with what the City is wanting to see around new development, and we agreed with that. That's not something that we want to deter from. We also did not show landscaping 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 Hearings - April 9, 2025 11 around the monument sign, which is what we are doing now with this enlargement. The enlargement is not really a significant enlargement, so since we are doing a brick base, the height variance is actually no longer valid, but the sign area is, so we are -- technically the only size it's enlarging is the sign area by 13.7 square feet. This is a side-by-side of the monument sign that we are showing. Again, it will have a brick base. Looks pretty identical as you can see; the only difference is adding that third product on the newer sign that we are proposing. Just some local gas stations with their sign heights in the area that is very similar to other gas stations. We are not asking for something that's out of the ordinary around the City of Yorkville, just something that we see that will benefit our business and keep us with the competitive advantage as well. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Would you like your responses added into the hearing tonight? MS. NOBLE: To your standards -- 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 Hearings - April 9, 2025 12 CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Your standards. MS. NOBLE: -- provided in your application. MR. BUKHRES: Yes. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak in favor or opposition of the request? (No response.) CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Okay. Our next item is PZC 2025-0 6 , Michael Holzer, petitioner, has filed an application with the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, requesting a bulk regulation variance to Section 10-3 -9 of the Unified Development Ordinance, seeking to reduce the required minimum front yard setback from 50 feet to 42 feet for a parcel located at 9 0 4 South Bridge Street. The real property, zoned B -3 General Business District, is located near the northeast corner of Illinois Route 47 and Illinois Route 1 26. Is the petitioner present -- MR. HOLZER: Yes.

MIKE HOLZER, having been first duly sworn, testified before the Commission from the dais as follows: MR. HOLZER: Hi. Good evening. I am Mike Holzer. I really don't have much of a presentation tonight, it's kind of simple. It's 904 South Bridge Street and it's a 50 foot current setback and I want to go to 42 feet setback. It's kind of a challenging lot because it's like a third of an acre, so it's kind of challenging to get a building on there. I had Dave Schultz do my site plan and he seemed to think that 42-foot setback was the best option for setting the building, turn-around for the cars, and that's pretty much what I 've got. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Very good. Thank you. MR. HOLZER: Okay. Thank you. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: Is there anyone who wishes to speak in favor or opposition of this request? 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 Hearings - April 9, 2025 14 (No response.) CHAIRMAN VINYARD: This will be your only time to do it. (No response.) CHAIRMAN VINYARD: No? Would you like to have your responses added into the -- the standards added into your public record? MR. HOLZER: Yes. CHAIRMAN VINYARD: All right. That will be the conclusion of the public hearing. Since all testimony regarding this petition has been taken, may I have a motion to close the taking of testimony in this public hearing? COMMISSIONER LINNANE: Moved. COMMISSIONER FORRISTALL: Second.
