PC 2002 -08 Scott and Lisa Sleezer petition to re -zone from R2 to R2 Special use for the property located at 632 Heartland Drive. The petitioners were not present to speak about the request. Acting Chairman Valerie Burd said the request would be forwarded to the Committee of the Whole. PC 2002 -09 Peter and Cheri LoDestro request to re -zone from R2 to Office District for the property located at 803 N. Bridge St. Peter LoDestro said they are seeking a zoning change in order to operate a dental office from the location. He said he is still working on a final plat as well as a plan for parking. Burd said the request would be forwarded to the Committee of the Whole. PC 2002 -02 Richard Marker and Associates request to annex and re-zone from Al to R2 PUD and B3 for property located at the easterly most dead end of Spring Street just east of Teri Lane. Richard Marker reported that the Plan Commission approved recommendation of annexation at the Plan Commission meeting on April 10, but did not approve the B3 zoning or the preliminary plat. 1 2 Marker since revised the plan. Marker said the revised plat is very similar without the B3 usage in the middle. Also, the Spring Street circle has been eliminated, the trail system seems to flow better, and the roadway pattern is smoother, he said. In the revised plan, there are connected open spaces with trail systems. The outside lots also have access to the trail systems. The plan is all R2 now, but because of the open spaces and the park, a PUD is required, he said. Mgrk�r Ii Maer said he listened to some of the Yorkville Park Board's concerns. The former business area is now set aside for a park. There's a 400 -foot wide area in the center of the park so that users could have pick -up football games, etc. Public parking also will be provided around the circle. The new plan also has 1.5 acres more open space and 12 additional lots. The units per acre now moves from 1.99 to 2.05. As for the new plans regarding Quinsey Lane, Maker said the Taus family trust has given them 30 feet of access easement to the property. That will be paved and brought to a 20 -24 foot width and will transition down to one lane. Marker said the people who live on Quinsey Lane prefer to keep it that way. Marker said they're trying to finalize all of the changes and will bring it before the Committee of the Whole. He believes most of the issues can be resolved. On the issue of lot sizes, he said all of the lots on the perimeter are 12,000 square feet. The lots that are less than that are on the interior and they abut open space. The smallest lot in the subdivision is 10,000 square feet and the largest lot is in excess of 14,800 square feet if the open space is incorporated, Marker said. There are 265 lots on 129 acres. Tony Graff said an annexation and PUD hearing will be scheduled for the second City Council meeting in May. Marker said there will be some sort of a firebreak on Tuma Road so that emergency vehicles have access, but it will not be open to daily traffic. Resident Larry King asked if a tree study and a traffic study would be conducted. He said the main access road to the subdivision is on Spring Street and that the subdivision will cause too much traffic. Mike Anderson responded that the committee is aware of the concerns of residents. Resident Harlan Dick asked if a drainage course has been created. Marker said yes. Resident Maggie Booth asked if Marker still had plans to route construction traffic through Heartland Circle. Marker said that is his intention. 2 3 The new proposal will be forwarded to the Committee of the Whole. PC 2002 -05 Christopher Valentine request to re -zone from Al to Ml and B3. The property is located on the northwest side of Cannonball Trail southwest of the village of Bristol. Bob Pilmer, representing Christopher Valentine, said the Plan Commission recommended the annexation and re- zoning of the property consistent with Mike Schoppe's memorandum. Recommended zoning is for B3 on the railroad parcel and rental facility and on the other parcel the recommended zoning is B3 for the first 300 feet and Ml for the remainder. Pilmer said Valentine doesn't have any other type of end user in mind. Graff said the Plan Commission wanted a wetlands delineation completed and that has since been done. Graff said an intergovernmental agreement with the county is being worked out so that construction on the rental business can begin. He said the county would rather have the building permit come through the city since the property is going to be annexed. Graff also reported that the township supervisor is looking into what alleys need to be vacated. Burd said the request will be forwarded to the Committee of the Whole. Cannonball Run Proposed Development AEreement Graff reported that the Illinois Department of Transportation required Jim Ratos to extend his turn lanes at the location. Ratos has to improved Route 34 and his driveway had to be enlarged. In his engineering report, Joe Wywrot has come up with a cost estimate on the project. Also, Graff said that due to the fact of where the development is located, Ratos has to loop the water facilities, which will cost $20,000. He's also upgrading from a 12 -inch pipe to a 16 -inch pipe. The upgrades will improve the water flow for all of the people in the subdivision. Graff said the standard development economic incentive agreement is 15 years and Ratos will be allowed to recapture the cost of improvement. If the development generates $2 -3 million in sales, Ratos will get back $15,000- 20,000 per year through the city's 50 percent rebate of sales tax. The cost for Ratos's improvements to public areas is about $170,000. Ratos said a Chinese restaurant is going to be located on the property and he's trying to attract a steak house to come to the property. The agreement was forwarded to the Committee of the Whole. 3 4 Final Plat for Fox Hill Graff said Chairman Sticka who could not attend the meeting asked that the final plat be pulled off the agenda until the matter of a flood plain could be resolved and the sanitary district review has begun. Actually, the review is almost completed and everything seems to be in order, he said. He said the city is going to create an outlot for the area along Rob Roy Creek. The developer will come back to the city to re -plat that area after the delineation is completed. Graff said the city's flood plain engineers have indicated that the development is workable if the outlot area is created.
