purchasing the services available for the money they are willing to pay. The Economic
Development programs of the surrounding communities were discussed. Ms. Jones
suggested they set up performance goals this year. She said this should be reviewed
for next year's budget to hire someone full time and seek organizations for extra
funding. She suggested giving Mr. Nanninga direction for Ms. Erdmann. Mr.
Prochaska said the City needs to give this person goals, objectives, direction and
authority. Ms. Erdmann has made contacts on a regular basis. It was discussed to
state in the contract that any information and files remain property of the City if she
leaves. This contract will be revised and presented to COW.
Fox Hollow PUD
Attorney Tom Grant represented the Fox Hollow developers. The request is for R -3
General Residence Zoning District PUD. It is being looked at a single parcel of land.
The letter from Joe Wyrott to Jim Nanninga which raised 22 issues was discussed item
by item. Various items were discussed in detail concerning the wording in the PUD.
There was discussion what the exact agreement was for the School District and Dr.
Engler will be contacted for clarification. There was clarification needed on how the
entrance will line up with Sunflower Estates. Mr. Grant said its not possible for his
clients to submit a final plat along with the preliminary. He wants preliminary approval,
the agreement signed, the property annexed and then they will go to engineering.
Once that is done they will go to final. There will be a letter of credit for subdivision
purpose. They will verify with Bill Detmers the building permit days and may come in
with an application for one building permit. Dan Kramer recorded the PUD changes.
Mr. Kramer said he will send a revised draft to Mr. Grant tomorrow and put it on for
Economic Development Committee 4/15/97
status at Thursday's COW and will be reviewed May 8 at City Council.

maintain Bristol Plan Commission and Richard Sticka will be the representative to the
Downtown Redevelopment Committee.
R -3 & R-4 Proposed Zonina Chanaes
Ms. Jones said a letter will be sent to anyone this change would affect and it will be
republished for a public hearing.
Amendina School Transition Fee Ordinance
Ms. Jones stated they had talked last year of amending the ordinance for the School
Transition Fee. Mr. Prochaska had done the background work on this. He said this
would substantiate their claims but would not change the dollar amount at this time. It
will be nondiscriminatory and be assessed on any school district. They have not
received an official response from the school district if they support this. The instant
assessment was discussed. He said because a city boundary moves does not
necessarily affect a school district boundary. Mr. Kramer will contact Dr. Engler for his
opinion.
Comprehensive Plan Map
There was discussion concerning the new Comprehensive Plan map. This was created
after the public hearings. There were a few discrepancies and Mr. Wyrott said these
lines are subject to be moved. The various densities were discussed along the
Cannonball Ball and Eldamain areas. Ms. Jones questioned if the FPA boundaries
were correct. Cannonball and John St.'s zoning was not represented correctly. The
zoning of Rt. 34 & Cannonball Trail was unclear and Beecher Rd. was questioned. The
City and Yorkville High School's property needs to be shown correctly. Lannert will be
contacted about changes and this will go Plan Commission for suggestions.
