PC 2002 -12 Kylvn's Ridge
Chad Gunderson said they are looking for final plat approval for Phase 1 of the
subdivision development which includes the -first 55 lots on the east side of High Ridge
Road. It also includes work on the detention area.
Gunderson said of the 55 lots, 50 will be buildable. The other five lots won't be buildable
until the lift station is ready.
Gunderson also said that all of the changes that involve the plat have been made.
However, there are some changes suggested by city engineer Joe Wywrot regarding
engineering that have not been made. He said the developers plan to meet with Wywrot
next week to discuss the suggestions by Wywrot.
Committee Chairman Richard Sticka said that the Plan Commission gave unanimous
approval to the final plat at its January meeting.
Committee Member Mike Anderson said doesn't mind approving the final plat as long as
Joe Wywrot's comments are met.
Gunderson said that comments made by City Planner Mike Shoppe regarding the plat
have been met. He added that if the developers cannot convince Wywrot that their way is
better, they will agree to his comments on the engineering issues.
The committee agreed to forward the final plat approval to the next Committee of the
Whole meeting.

PC 2002 -29 Bowman Proverty
Alan Brauer with Land Vision presented the plan for a subdivision called Ravine Woods.
Brauer was before the committee on behalf of Inland Real Estate Development
Corporation who requested a 1 1 /2 -mile review for Kendall County RPD -3. The property
consists of approximately 32 acres near the corner of Route 71 and Hilltop Road.
Brauer said 18 lots are planned in the subdivision, with each lot the size of more than
35,000 square feet. The largest lot is 47,000 square feet, which exceeds the county's
maximum allowable lot size of 45,000 square feet, so the developers will ask for a
variance, he said.
The planned subdivision will feature 12 acres, or 32 percent, of open space, he said. The
main drainage will come through the middle of the property.
Brauer added that homes will be serviced by wells and septic systems. The right -of -way
will be 70 feet with 28 feet of back -to -back curb and gutter.
Committee Member Joe Besco asked if a turn lane from Route 71 would be needed.
Brauer said the developers have had discussions with the Illinois Department of
Transportation. IDOT suggested the entrance to the subdivision be moved 20 feet to the
south.
Besco asked how that would affect the lots and Brauer said he was not sure. He said it
depends on the soils, and the septics.
Sticka asked if there was a ravine on the property since the name of the proposed
subdivision is Ravine Woods. Brauer said it was just the name that the developers came
up with.
Sticka informed the committee that the Plan Commission gave its recommendation for
approval at the January meeting.
Anderson asked if there was a possibility of the property eventually being annexed to the
city. Brauer said he didn't know. City Administrator Tony Graff said the city's plan for
water and sewer services don't extend that far. He added that the city attorney suggested
the city only ask for an annexation agreement when there are city facilities serving the
site, or future plans for the city to service the site.
The committee recommended that the review go before the Committee of the Whole.

He said there are two entrances to the planned subdivision because Long Grove Road
goes to the Maple Grove Subdivision and loops around.
Graff said that there is an existing homestead on the property that is staying. He also said
there is 21.83 acres of open -space planned in the proposed development. He added that
the subdivision right of ways will be 66 feet.
Sticka asked if Kendall County was asking developers to put, in trails. Graff said the
developer seemed very favorable to putting in trails.
Committee Member Valerie Burd asked if the city would like to see trails as part of every
subdivision and Sticka answered yes.
The committee agreed to send the review to the Committee of the Whole.
The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p,m.
