Discussion:
1.) Road Standards for Perimeter Roads - Still working on
design. Some of the homes want to face Cannonball
Trail some want to face the other direction, Also
need to took at the turn lanes for Cannonball Trail.
Would like to get Faxon Road improvements. Will be
using Faxon Road as a feeder into the industrial park,
Need Faxon Road to go to Eldamain Road. Do not want
encourage trucks in residential areas. Cannonball
Trail is posted with a weight limit. There are some
major issues that have not been solved. If the water
table issue is not solved, the development will not go
in. Everyone is in agreement that they would like to
see a whole road go in. Whole meaning core road out,
new pavement, curb, gutter and street lights.
2.) November Building Report This has already been
passed.
3.) Parking Standards - Townhome Standards. Zoning
requires two parking spaces per unit but does not
require access to the spot. Two independent spaces.
Some apartments have one parking space enclosed and
then the second spot behind the first spot, Nanninga
has spoke with Detmer. This will help reduce density.
Would like everyone to thinks about this. Bring back
to next Economic Development Meeting. Dan is review
this as well. Detmer would like to add a few things.
4.) Kuczkowski - Kuczkowski was not present. No

discussion.
5.) R -3 & R -4 Zoning Modifications - This is related to
townhome standards. Would like to have some
restrictions of five townhomes per acre. R -3 can
cover up to 30 percent of lot. This will help
increase green space. Covered means by a building or
structure and accessoy building. Structures include
sidewalks, and driveways, location is on the ground.
Need to get some clarification on structure. Nanninga
j would like a minimum square footage on apartments,
duplexes, townhomes and single family homes. Dan said
brick could not be included on an ordinance. That
would need to be put into a P,U.D. One building would
be allowed six units only. Would like to discourage
large buildings. Bring back for further discussion.
R -4, the current ordinance allows 12 units. Would 6
like to drop that to eight dwelling units per acre.
Looking to keep density down.
6.) Large Lot Zoning - Fox Hill already has trail in.
Spang would like ordinance to require at least a one
acre lot. Standards are ordaned by the State. If lot
is under one acre than they have to conform to R -1.
R -1 lots are 1800 square feet. Estate lots are one
acre or greater. Lots can be annexed one at a time.
Can not force a homeowner to hook onto City water or
sewer, Will need to have requirements on abandoning a
well or septic. Bring back.
7.) Storm Water Storage Requirements - Nanninga passed out
a memo. Would like to set some standards on Storm
Water Detention /Retention. He would like to avoid
detention areas in the roadway setbacks. Detention is
usually in the lowest area of the property. Some
times it will be necessary to put a detention in a
setback. Nanninga would like to see some landscaping
including decorative stone /block treatments and to be I
approved by the City Planner. If there is a water
retention area, he would Ike it to have aeration, a
minimum depth of six feet with a minimum slope of 4:1
with variation to flatter slopes. Nanninga would like
a six inch high curb on all adjacent to drives or
parking lots. Nanninga would like to see combined lot
storage where possible.
8.) Park Standards - City has a copy, of the Park Ordinance
from Fox Valley Park District. City would like to put
some restrictions on what is acceptable Park land.
Take to COW.
9.) Undesser - This went through Plan Commission in June

of 1995. There was a Public Hearing. There are 249
acres that will be zoned AG -1. 13 acres will annexed
and re- zoned. They will need a B -3 Special Use
because of the gas station. All was passed, Undesser
will have to have a P.U.D. for five acres. The will
not be able to do develop additional acres until an
amended P.U.D. is done. $pang would like to see and
read again. Property is just west of Rt. 47 on Galena
Road. The property along the rest area will be
landscaped. Spang is concerned with Police
protection. Undesser said Galena is approximately one
mile from Cornelis Road. The Police currently drive
to Cornelis Road and turn around. The Police will
have to leave the City limits to police that area and
then will have to come back into the City. All the
property will be annexed, They only have plans to
develop 13 acres. They might have a truck wash bay.
Undesser would like to put in a Gas station with
diesal, a convenience store that will sell beer and i
wine, so he would apply for a liquor license. !
Undesser is look at operation hours being 5:30 A.M.
and closing at 10:00 P.M. Undesser could consider a
donation to the Police Department for cars. Murphy
would like Dan to come up with some ideas. Take to
Cow.
10.) Coach Road Hills - Roppolo has finallyy ggave Dan a list
of things that they would like in the P.U,D. Dan has
done a memo on the list. Dan let Roppolos attorney
know that the outstanding engineering fees would have
to be paid for before this meeting or they would not
be addressed. Roppolo was not present at this
meeting. They will still be paying a double recapture
fee for the first 177 units. They will have the
option to front -fund the money to finish the sewer
line once those 177 unit go in. the City will not be
able to guarntee that there will be room at the plant.
The sewer plant needs to be expanded, They are almost
at capacity now. It will take approximately two years
to get the expansion completed. Spang is concerned
that the Edmeier money will be used to expand the
plant and Y.S.S.D. will expect the City to borrow more
money to fix the INI problems. Spang thinks we should
do the repairs. That will free up P.E. There is 1500
P.E. of clear water going under the River daily.
11.) Sunset Motel Annexation - Dan has sent annexation
draft. Mayor Johnson has asked Dan to offer them
abatement for three years. This is the only thing the
owners have asked for. Abatement will be for as long
as the current owners own the property up to three
years.

12.) Comprehensive Plan - This is ongoing. Will need to
publish Public Hearing. Would like to publish Public
Hearing in the Newsletter also.
13.) Marketing Strategy - There has been movement at the
Dunkin Donuts. Jones did get a report.
i
14.) Additional Business - Garling Driveway - Property on
Rt. 34. They need to move driveway to their own piece
of property.
j Fox Hollow - Grant would like to discuss waiving of
fees. They are not going to ask to waive the sewer
fee. They will also pay land cash for the schools and'
parks. They are still requesting waiving the School
Transition fees. The Transition fees are
approximately $225,000. The current Ordinance is for
adding kids to the school system. Fox Hollow will not
be adding any kids to the system, Grant does not have
a problem paying any impact fees where they are going
to impact, Spang said that the Ordinance was put in
place to cover the cost to educate a child until the
tax money starts coming in, $1500 is only about one
half of what it cost. If the property changes hands
at sometime, and children do start moving in there
than they would have to pay the Transition fees at
that time. Dan thinks the issue is how would we
approch other developments? The City could make a
policy for a private covanance. The schools will be
getting 586,044 - $100,000 after the first year. The
City has not received approval from the School Board
on the Transition Fee. Take to Council. Won't really
know until it is voted on. Grant said he spoke with
Ralph and Ralph said it will be a race to the plant
because the plant is at capacity. Maybe Fox Hollow
Developers will make a donation. This is subject to
approval. Take to COW.
