Time Adjourned: 8:58 P.M. Attendees: Jim Nanninga Jeff Baker Jeff Spang J.T. Hiles Kathy Jones Jerry Lynch Bill y etmer J.T. Johnson Bob Johnson Tom Sowinski Discussion: 1.) Fisher Pre - Annexation - Fisher would like a pre- annexation agreement. Fisher does not want to decide on what kind of zoning he would have at this time. Would like to leave it up in the air. There are concerns about this. How could the City agree to something without knowing what exactly they are agreeing to. It would not be in the best interest of the City to do this at this time. If Mr. Fisher would like to decide on a zoning for his property the City would be happy to consider his request. Hiles will draft a letter to send Mr. Fisher. 2.) Downtown Directional Signs - Nanninga has been asked to approve this. This is a verbal request from the downtown merchants. They would like signs posted at Rts. 34 & 47 saying Business District with an arrow. They would also like signs posted at Rts 71 & 47. Bring to COW on Dec. 7, 1995. 3.) Marketing Strategy - Nanninga has the folders. City needs to decide what to put in them. The Chamber is working on helping out with the costs. The Chamber would like to work with the City distributing the folders. There are concerns with working with the Chamber. We should have an agreement with them. The chamber would like some ideas. Sowinski has information on SIC codes. You pick the SIC code for a group of companies that you would like to target and purchase the mailing list for $.20 per name. Nanninga has been talking with a company that does the mailings and also periodicals. They also target people that are looking to move. Nanninga is asking if we should wait until the City receives the DCCA grant. No one feels we should wait. Johnson will check on the DCCA grant. Baker would like the community guides upgraded. Nanninga is looking for recommendations on the community profile. Nanninga would also like to have a data sheet on available properties. The property owners will need to agree on this because they will need to answer alot of the questions. Baker would like to invite the Chamber of Commerce to the next meeting on December 19, 1995 at 6:30 P.M. - Page 2 - 4.) Fox Hill Final Plats - Pods 5C & 7 - Plan Commission approved the landscaping plan. Approved final plat. Bring to COW for final plat approval. 5.) Update - Coach Road Hills - Plan Council met this morning. They have met area requirement for townhomes /duplexes. There are concerns with the density. If townhomes are permitted they will need to be higher end. Maybe by the lake, brick, 2 car garages, etc. If plan is approved the wet lands will have to stay. There is also concerns with the water and sewer in this area. City would recommend requiring the two phases be bonded so both phases get completed. 6.) Update - Boundary - Johnson and Nanninga are meeting with Oswego on Nov. 30, 1995 to discuss the boundaries. Spang feels that we should keep the Yorkville School District in the District. Oswego is at Orchard Road. 7.) Sign Ordinance - Baker asked Detmer to go through the sign ordinance, update it and make it readable. Detmer has gone through it made some consistency changes putting things together. Only change that was made is in the old ordinance it said that all applications go before the board, now it says the sign can be approved by the code official. If the code official does not approve the sign then you can go before the board. Bring 15 copies of ordinance to the next COW meeting on Dec. 7, 1995. 8.) Additional Business - Jones attended the last school board meeting. The school board is looking for help on what to put on the ballot. They want to form two committees. One committee is for the building issue. This will be very time consuming. There will be meetings 3 -4 times a week. Committees will be made up of 35 -50 people. Second committee is to find a solution to split shifts. This will be less time consuming. Jones will attend the meetings on behalf of the City. She would like a alternate person to attend if she is not able to. This issue will be on COW agenda will it is over. Minutes by: Mollie Anderson
