Previous Meeting Minutes: November 14, 2007
The minutes were approved as read on a motion and second by Crouch and Schillinger
respectively. Approved unanimously on a voice vote.
Public Hearing:
1. PC 2007 -36 Marlo Letterle, petitioner, filed an application requesting
annexation and rezoning from Kendall County A -1 Agricultural to A -1
Agricultural with Special Use. The property consists of approximately 11 acres
and is located at 4378 Eldamain Road.
Chairman Lucietto swore in Attorney Dan Kramer for the Public Hearing.
Dan Kramer represented the petitioner. He said the house, horse barn and smaller
outbuildings are located behind Fox Hill and have been there 25 years. The petitioner
will primarily be boarding horses and will give occasional riding lessons. No other
immediate plans are being made to add any buildings and Ms. Letterle wishes to
legitimatize the use it has had for 25 years. She is seeking annexation to the City along
with flex zoning of A -1 /R -1 and special use.

Attorney Kramer said he had no objection to the staff reports, but requested a slight
modification regarding the stormwater. The City conducted a stormwater study of Rob
Roy many years ago and separate drainage was not shown, but rather added into the
Blackberry drainage area. He said if the property developed, he would not have a
problem paying a fair share, but at this time the property is not being developed. Verbage
was included in the annexation agreement that if the property developed, that share would
be paid. The property owner is giving an easement to the City to provide a means of
extending sewer service to the Eldamain Road area. In addition, property is being
dedicated to accommodate the improvement of Eldamain Road. The petitioner is
seeking a positive recommendation from the Plan Commission in exchange.
A motion was then made by Crouch to close the Public Hearing, followed by a second
from Jones. Hearing closed.
Discussion:
The A -1 /R -1 zoning is being requested since the original comp plan shows this area as
being residential. Mr. Kramer also said that much of the property is in flood plain and
could not be developed. The property owner would need to file a petition if any other
development was desired.

It was noted that that preliminary and final plat approval were both being requested,
however, Schillinger pointed out that a lengthy list of problems had been found. He
expressed concern for the final approval request and suggested a delay in any decision
until all questions are answered.
i
Bill Dunn gave an overview of the problems including aquifer and well concerns, fuel
tank construction, runoff, etc. A meeting had been held and most concerns were
addressed. Because of the many concerns, Chairman Lucietto suggested splitting the
preliminary and final plan into two decisions.
Miller said it was most likely that this matter would go before the January City Council
rather than December. However, it was noted that it will go to EDC first.
Eric Granrud of SEC Group gave an overview of the process that began in April for this
site and noted there might be a competing petitioner coming to Plano.
A motion was made by Lindblom to recommend to the City Council the preliminary and
final plat be approved subject to engineering concerns being resolved. Holdiman
seconded this motion. A roll call vote was taken: Lindblom -aye, Holdiman-aye, Crouch-
, nay, Schillinger -nay, Jones -aye, Lucietto -nay. Motion failed.
It was then moved by Crouch and seconded by Schillinger to approve only the
preliminary plan subject to staff comments. Roll call vote was taken: Lindblom -aye,
Holdiman-aye, Crouch -aye, Schillinger -aye, Jones -aye, Lucietto -aye. Unanimous
approval given.
A final motion was made in this matter. Crouch moved and Schillinger seconded the
