Discussion:
1.) Kuskowski Recapture - Handled prior to the meeting. There were no changes from last
meeting, and Mr. Kuskowski was is agreement Sent to July 18 Committee of the Whole.
2.) Erdmann Brochure - The original bid called for one color proof, but there were 3
additional revisions at a cost of $440. The fist revision included the elimination of
the reference to the Courthouse, Business Center Buildings, shortening of buildings
in the Fox Industrial Park. and the addition of Silver Springs State Park, and Yorkville
Business District. The second revision had a few changes on the back and
additional information to the intersection of routes 34 and 47. In the third revision
there were changes to the call out boxes and background. There was also a paper
change from 80 pound gloss text to 65 pound cover stock. There was also a color
change asked for by Baker at EDC May meeting. The original bid was for
$1,217.00, and the new bid is $1,759.50 a difference of $542.50. Changes from now
on are to be discussed in dollar value and approved by Nanninga. Approved and
sent to the Committee of the Whole. Spang asked that a written policy be set up for
prevention of a 45% overrun on a contract, and he will be bringing that up at the
Administration meeting.
3.) PC 96 -15 Little- Kendall Co. -Mr. and Mrs. Little proposed zoning M -1 on Mr.
Fisher's old property on Route 47, and the Plan commission recommended M -1
special use (i.e. pertains to this business only, if property is sold they must go through
the same process). The property does not fit A -1 zoning. They are asking for zoning
on the front portion not all 6 acres. Spang asked about M -1 P.U.D, and J.T. Johnson
recommended a pre- annexation agreement if and when they become contiguous.
Sent to Committee of the Whole.
4.) PC 96 -13 Development Group / Sloniger - Plan Commission split the property, and did
approve the section in question. Plan Commission had some concerns about the closure of
Mill St., the railroad, the pedestrian walkway, and the easement to the east of the
townhomes. J.T. Johnson talked to Tom Lindbloom about the closing of Mill St., and agreed
that it would be open form emergency vehicles only. The closure is from the development to
Hydraulic. The reason for the closure of Mill St. is because of the problem of cruising. The
street will not be closed totally, but restricted to authorized vehicles. IDOT recommends an
8 foot off outside rail for a road not a trail. Sloniger has agreed to an 8 foot minimum from
middle of track, and will put up a fence. Plan Commission was concerned that the building
was to close to the property line. Bill Dettmer is in agreement with this, and is writing a
report. Sloniger intends to remove the spur. J.T. Johnson recommends that Planning
Council write a letter to Burlington Northern to help Sloniger with the removal of the spur.
Sloniger asked for a change of existing P.U.D. from rent only to for sale, but the P.U.D. may
not need to be changed. All approved except Spang, who does not agree with the closure of
Mill St. or the pedestrian trail next to the railroad tracks. Sent as is to Committee of the
Whole.
5.) Roppolo - Temporary Sewer Service - Roppolo would like to temporarily tie in to the
existing sewer service for his first phase of 177 units. The existing Rout 47 line is about
5,000 PE. Putting in lift stations is a possibility, but is expensive. According to Kramer,
recapture would have to be charged to the west line. Nanninga would like to see gravity
lines used to hook up with the Route 47 line as much as possible. Spang brought up the idea
of a mini treatment plant. J.T. commented that it would be in the Bristol - Kendall Sanitary
District's jurisdiction, and that it would not be cost effective. Gravity lines would buy time
until the new sewer line is put in. There is a question on just how many of the houses could
be serviced with a gravity line. Roppolo's development would be contributing 620 PE. The
staff is to come up with several solutions, and bring there suggestions to a special EDC /
Public Works meeting on July 29 meeting.
6.) PC 96 -16 Fields of Farm Colony - Kendall Co. - Chuck Hamlin presented his
development proposal, and gave an overview of the discussion of main issues with Kendall
County. Name was changed to the Fields of Farm Colony after objections from the people
of the Farm Colony subdivision. The agreement with the county is for 160 lots approved on
the 281 acres of property south of Reservation Road. For the most part the lots will be
45,000 square feet. There is a provision in the P.U.D. agreement that 100 of the lots may be
40,000- 45,000 square feet. Inland is paying a fee of $1350 per lot to just about pay for 90%
of construction of the extension of Reservation Road to link with Van Emmon at Route 71.
They development will start in the south and move north. The first phase consists of 24 lots
at the northeast intersection of hilltop and route 71. Jones brought up that the trail be
directly accessible by all lots. Hamlin stated the 20 of the 24 lots do have direct access.
Sent to Committee of the Whole contingent on Joe Wywrot's engineering suggestions.
