PC 98 -1 Schneider Annexation & Rezoning i Ray Schneider addressed the committee concerning his rezoning request. The Plan Commission approved the annexation and rezoning from AG -1 to B -3 last week. Jeff Spang asked to go on record that he would prefer B -2 (because of the restricting of kennels). This will go to COW February 5 and City Council February 14. PC 98 -2 Kuney - Kendall County The rezoning request from AG -1 to R -3 was discussed. The petitioner is planning to divide this parcel into 7 building lots. The Plan Commission approved the request with the conditions of the road looping, a homeowner's association and utility easements. This will go to COW. PC 98 -3 Inland - Landmark Center Greg Gable addressed the committee concerning the rezoning request of R -4 that was denied at Plan Commission. Inland is proposing the rezoning of 53 acres at the SE corner of Rt. 47 and Rt. 34. The current zoning has been B -3, B -2 and B -1 since 1975. They have owned the commercial zoned property five years. There is the possibility of 8 % acres going for a large grocery store. They want to add housing with this to "help support the commercial demand at this site." The areas along the highway would remain commercial with a transitional housing plan of apartments, townhomes and single family homes of 8 units per acre. They propose to realign McHugh Road and improve Landmark Road. There was not a consensus for the plan presented. The consensus was to keep the property commercial and not to have apartments with townhomes south of Landmark and keep commercial to the north. Web Site Presentation Brian Spengler presented his proposal to the committee concerning the proposed web site on the computer. The various aspects of the site, options and fees were discussed. Dan Kramer will be consulted about drafting an agreement. This will be reviewed again next month. December Building Report Next month the yearly comparison reports and permits will be available to the committee. This report will go to COW Thursday. Fees - Older Building Policy Bob Johnson addressed the issue of being more flexible with fees to encourage downtown redevelopment. There was discussion on how to proceed without being discriminatory. Suggested costs, guidelines and policies were discussed. Mr. Kramer will be consulted for verbiage. Economic Development Committee 1 -20 -98 White Oak - Update - Unit 4 Mr. Nanninga said Mr. Wyrott looked up the ICC commission report which indicated that a pedestrian crossing over the tracks appears to be granted. This does not appear on the final plan and Mr. Kramer is to be consulted. Unit 4 is proposing to have sidewalks on both sides according to a letter received. This will go to COW February 5. Mr. Sowinski asked if a status chart could be developed showing where this and other developments stand. Fox Hollow A letter from Tom Grant for Landmark America was discussed. They lost their tax credit for the project and are asking the city to adjust or waive some fees. The benefits of the development and the various fees or rebates were discussed. The possibility of negotiating rebates will be discussed with Landmark. Additional Business Scott Miller Annexation This annexation will need to have a public hearing. The paperwork has not been signed as yet and there needs to be some language changed. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 9:18 PM. Submitted by, Sheryl Washburn 2
