motion was unanimously approved in a voice vote.
1. PC 2006 -100 Yorkville- Bristol Sanitary District, petitioner, has filed an
application requesting annexation of approximately two acres and a special use
permit for a sanitary facility for the same property as well as the approximately 20
acres parcel currently annexed. The property is located directly west of existing
sanitary buildings on River Road.
See attached.
Adams made a motion to close the public hearing. Crouch seconded the motion. The
motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.
I
Action Items
Community Development Director Travis Miller said the request to annex two acres is
basically a clean -up. It was something the city thought had already been done.
The special use request is for a sanitary treatment facility west of the existing building, he
said. R -1 zoning required 50 -foot front -yard setbacks, which would put the setback in the
middle of River Road. Instead, they're looking at a setback of 40 feet from the centerline
and a dedicated right of way. A 10 -foot setback requirement is recommended for all
yards (front, sides and rear).
Miller said it's a unique way to handle the situation, but that it's a viable option.
The Plan Commission went over the findings necessary for a special use permit. In each
of the six findings, the commission did not have a concern.
Adams made a motion to recommend annexation approval for PC 2006 -100. Holdiman
seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved by roll call vote. Kraupner,
Holdiman, Adams, Schillinger, Crouch and Lindblom voted yes.
Kraupner then made a motion to go to public hearing. Adams seconded the motion. The
motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.
2. PC 2006 -97 Castle Bank Trust #8342, petitioner, has filed an application with the
city requesting annexation and rezoning from Kendall County A -1 to United City of
Yorkville B -3 Service Business District and R -4 General Residence District. The real
property consists of approximately 13.998 acres located at 2200 Route 47, Yorkville.
See attached.
Kraupner made a motion to close the public hearing. Adams seconded the motion. The
motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.
Action Items
Miller said staff recommends annexation. The adjoining property is zoned B3 and R2.
The one concern staff did pose is that without a development plan, the proposed zoning is
the most intensive use for residential. He said it makes it hard to make a recommendation
for the proposal for an R -4 zoning without a plan.
The staff is recommending the B -3 zoning, but again, there are some concerns about the
intensity of R -4 zoning without a site plan.
The property has a large stand of oak trees and there's a neighboring existing horse farm.
Recent city ordinances would address the saving of the trees, Miller said. He added the
city staff would want to see a plan for preserving the trees.
Attorney Dan Kramer representing the petitioner said the preservation of trees certainly
would be included in the annexation agreement. He said access to the property would
remain where it currently is and the grove of trees would be in the front.
Without having an end user, Kramer said it wouldn't make sense to do a development
plan now. It would just be a guessing game. In the annexation agreement, he said the city
should include language limiting the R -4 portion of the property for assisted living or
townhomes only.
Schillinger said that once zoning is given, the developer has it. He's concerned about a
lack of limitations. Lindblom said that the Plan Commission would have to include in its
motion to recommend approval but with limited uses for R -4 in its motion.
Kramer said because the R -4 usage isn't set in stone, the developer is asking for flex
zoning. The property could be entirely developed under B -3 zoning or it could be a mix
of B -3 and R -4 with assisted living.
Crouch made a motion to recommend annexation for PC 2006 -07. Adams seconded the
motion. The motion was unanimously approved by roll call vote. Adams, Schillinger,
Crouch, Kraupner, Holdiman and Lindblom voted yes.
The Plan Commission then went through the findings necessary for a zoning amendment
Going through the list of five findings, the commission determined that the trend in the
areas is going toward commercial development. As for impact on traffic conditions, the
impact would be about the same whether the property is residential or commercial.
Crouch, however, added that a second access would be necessary especially if assisted
living is brought to the property. Kramer said there is future ability to connect north and
south.
Crouch made a motion to recommend zoning approval as requested for PC 2006 -97 with
the provision that assisted living housing would be erected if the property was developed
with R -4 zoning. Adams seconded the motion. The motion was approved in a 5 -1 vote.
Crouch, Kraupner, Holdiman, Adams and Lindblom voted yes. Schillinger voted no.
Holdiman then made a motion to go to public hearing. Kraupner seconded the motion.
The motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.
3. PC 2007 -08 Corn Holdings, LLC, petitioner, has filed an application requesting
rezoning from M -1 Limited Manufacturing District to B -3 Service Business District.
The real property consists of approximately 46.44 acres located on the west side of
Route 47.
See attached.
Holdiman made a motion to close the public hearing. Adams seconded the motion. The
motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.
it
Action items
Patrick Kinnally, attorney representing the petitioner, stated that the current owner
wouldn't be developing the property. Brokers, however, have told the owners that the
property would be more valuable and sellable if it was zoned B -3.
Miller said the city's comprehensive plan recommended the property be zoned M -1 based
on the existing use at the time the plan was developed. Staff, however, recommends the
B -3 zoning opening the property up for retail and business uses.
Staff also recommends that there be written documentation that the city plans to extend
Faxson Road through this property to connect to Route 47 and that it is possible that a
future train station/Metra stop would be incorporated on the site.
Kraupner asked if the city was targeting two locations for a Metra station. Miller said the
other site is the preferred site and that this is the alternate site. But, from a planning
standpoint the city needs to keep its options open.
The Plan Commission then went through the findings necessary for a zoning amendment.
They agreed that the proposal meets four of the findings. As for the traffic impact,
connection to Faxson Road would address the issue.
Crouch made a motion to recommend rezoning from M -1 to B -3. Adams seconded the
motion. The motion was unanimously approved by roll call vote. Crouch, Kraupner,
Holdiman, Adams, Schillinger and Lindblom voted yes.
NEW BUSINESS
1. PC 2007 -06 Cobblestone South — Final Plat
Miller said the preliminary plan for the project was approved in September. He said the
final plat is consistent with the preliminary plan.
He said the design is unique as necessitated by Mother Nature. Engineering Enterprises
and consulting engineer Bill Dunn have brought up several issues, but Miller said they're
not insurmountable. Park Planner Laura Haake also has some minor issues. Staff has
recommended approval subject to staff comments.
Dunn said the developer has gone to great extents to create a detention area under the
parking lot. It's a very expensive and very complex undertaking. A little bii of tweaking
needs to be done to address a few of the offsite flows onto the property, he said.
As for an access point to the property, Dunn said the developer is working with the
Illinois Department of Transportation on the issue and is seeking a consensus with
neighboring developers. IDOT wants a consensus among the developers along Route 34.
In his opinion, approval could be granted subject to staff comments.
Miller said if the eastern entrance is re- aligned that would necessitate redoing the final
plat. If that happens, he said the Plan Commission could put in its motion that the issue
would not have to return to the Plan Commission for a recommendation.
Lindblom asked what type of business is the developer looking for. Kramer said ideally,
there would be a big box user on the back lot and a restaurant on the front lots.
Meanwhile, he said the owner is confident the access won't move more than 100 feet.
Miller said IDOT is looking for the city to give a recommendation on the access issue. He
said he thinks this location is very close to the preferred alignment.
Kraupner made a motion to recommend final plat approval for PC 2007 -06 Cobblestone
South subject to engineering concerns and a resolution on the second entrance. Adams
seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved by roll call vote. Kraupner,
Holdiman, Adams, Schillinger, Crouch and Lindblom voted yes.
2. PC 2004 -18 Wynstone Townhomes — Preliminary Plan
Developer Rich Guerard said the property was annexed in 2000. In 2003, the developer
brought the concept plan to the city. The preliminary plan has essentially the same layout,
Guerard said. The original plans were for 56 units and the main access it to the north.
The preliminary plan was done with different parking and a future road connection. An
attorney appeared representing Fox Highlands residents stating that access to a private
road wouldn't be allowed. The city asked the developer to continue exploring access to
Route 47. It took two years to negotiate an easement with neighboring property owners
and IDOT. He said the developer plans to build a primary access -to Route 47 and will
cooperate with commercial property owners to the west of Route 47.
The preliminary plan now includes 62 units and the developer is requesting 40 -foot
setbacks instead of 50 -foot setbacks. Although the unit count is higher, Guerard said that
the product would be upgraded. The developer would go well above what is required in
the city's appearance code.
The minimum square footage would be 1,400 with an average of about 1,900. Also he
said 75 percent of the building fronts would be brick and masonry would be featured on
all sides. Other amenities would be included as well. This type of project takes twice as
long to sell, Guerard said.
Miller said he recommends the city draft a PUD development agreement to include
provisions allowing for the requested setback variances; minimum architectural standard
exceed the current appearance code requirement; and the current city development fee
schedule --per unit amounts.
He said the Plan Commission's recommendation to the City Council should be to allow
those waivers as part of the PUD agreement.
Guerard added that he'd like to design the detention area to preserve the trees.
Crouch said the last time this project came to the city, there was a proposed access north.
He wondered what happened to that plan. Guerard said it's still an access. It's up to the
city as to whether it should be a full- access or an emergency access. Miller said the city
recommends a street connection to Walnut.
Lindblom said he still has a concern about the accesses. The access to Route 47 and the
proposed extension to Walnut, are close enough that there's still only one way into the
development.
I
Secondly, he said he has a hard time recommending approval for variances and setbacks
on a project with increased density.
Guerard said the density increased in an effort to recoup the cost for taking the access to
Route 47. That cost at least $200,000. In turn, he said the developer has offered to
upgrade the product. Ultimately that will generate more value in the long run.
Crouch said the Plan Commission's role is not to deal with the numbers it takes to make
the project go forward. He said he'd have a hard time shedding crocodile tears for the
developer when looking at the density.
However, he said he does have sympathy for the residents to the north. He'd rather see
the northern access be an emergency access only.
Guerard said it's the Plan Commission's call. If the Plan Commission doesn't want the
higher density, then the developer won't need variances and will adhere to the city's
appearance code.
Resident Bart Marciniak raised objections to Walnut becoming a full access. He said it
should not be a secondary entrance and that only four houses are on the roadway.
Resident Rita Kleefisch said the road would be 30 feet in front of her house. It's too close
and she doesn't want that much traffic on the road. She said unless the exit is used as an
emergency access only, they're in trouble.
Lindblom asked how the city could improve Walnut Drive if it isn't a city street. Miller
said that the township could make improvements or dedicate it to the city. The road
would have to be widened to 60 feet. Right now, he said only one car can go down it.
Lindblom said that if the Plan Commission doesn't recommend approval, the developer
could still build 56 units and make an access to Walnut Drive. Guerard said that his
company is entitled to build. The property already is annexed and zoned. And, he said
Walnut is a legally dedicated existing street. He has a legal right to build.
Schillinger said he's not trying to fight with the developer. In the past, this developer has
been cooperative and willing to work with the city. However, he said the Plan
Commission doesn't want to make a mistake. He said he'd rather wait another month and
get some questions answered before the Plan Commission votes.
Crouch made a motion to table the preliminary plan fro PC 2004 -18 Wynstone
Townhomes until next month. Adams seconded the motion. The motion was
unanimously approved by roll call vote. Holdiman, Adams, Schillinger, Crouch,
Kraupner and Lindblom voted yes.
3. PC 2007 -07 Goodwill Retail Store — Final Plat
Miller said Goodwill wants to purchase a portion of lot 3 in the Menard's subdivision.
The only issue tonight, he said, is the plat itself. James Sparesos, Archiplan Int'l., Ltd.,
with Goodwill, said he's worked closely with the city staff and the plan is in compliance.
Plans are for a 20,000 square foot Goodwill donation center and retail store. He said
there's an existing detention pond on the property and that an in/out entrance is planned
that lines up with Veteran's Parkway.
The building would feature a decorative block exterior with building elevations.
Kraupner said he's excited to hear the store is coming to Yorkville. He then made a
motion to recommend final plat approval for PC 2007 -07. Adams seconded the motion.
The motion was unanimously approved by roll call vote. Adams, Schillinger, Crouch,
Kraupner, Holdiman and Lindblom voted yes.
The meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m.

23 CHAIRMAN LINDBLOM: PC 2006 -100,
24 Yorkville- Bristol Sanitary District, petitioner,
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030
4
1 has filed an application with the United City of
2 Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, requesting
3 annexation of approximately two acres and a
4 special use for a sanitary facility for the same
5 property as well as the 20.374 acre parcel
6 currently annexed.
7 The real property is located
8 directly west of the existing Sanitary District
9 buildings on River Road.
10 So we're looking for annexation
11 of the acreage and then approval of the special
12 use. Boyd?
13 WHEREUPON:
14 BOYD INGEMUNSON,
15 having been first duly sworn, testified before
16 the Yorkville Plan Commission as follows:
17 MR. INGEMUNSON: Thank you. Fairly
18 straightforward request. Two -acre annexation is
19 actually clean -up. There was the existing parcel
20 that the Sanitary District is on, now owns a
�
21 portion of land on the opposite side of
I
22 Blackberry Creek, which after we realized with
23 the last annexation that that portion of land was
24 not ever annexed into the City, and I think when
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030
5
1 the City was created they used the creek as the
2 boundary, so we have to do the annexation of that
3 two acres to make sure that land is all
4 contiguous and all annexed into the City, so
5 that's where the annexation comes in.
6 The previous 20 acres was a
7 year and a half to two years ago, the area for
8 the future plant expansion of the Sanitary
9 District obviously to service the future needs of
10 the City.
11 Travis has been working with
12 Ralph Fister with the Sanitary District on some
�
13 of the plans for that. Duser Engineering is
14 working on the site plan for that.
15 Some of the issues that are
16 going to come up is the right -of -way. It's going
17 to be a unique piece of property. There are a
18 lot of slopes, a lot of trees, so I think between
19 the staff of the Sanitary District and the City,
20 we're going to be able to work through and come
21 up with the proper right -of -way for future
22 utility expansion.
23 We don't know yet exactly how
i
24 much of a setback requirement we're going to have
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030
6
1 for our future plant expansion, that was going to
2 be one of the main issues that the staff's
3 working out in the special use terms of making
4 that condition because in R -1 we're going to need
5 a variance or a condition of the special use that
6 allows us to be closer to the road because we
7 only have so much land to work with, and once we
8 determine through the engineers how much land
9 we're going to need, we're going to have to work
10 with the City on coming up with a proper setback
11 for the property. So that's what we're
12 requesting tonight. It's a straightforward
13 request. Thank you.
14 CHAIRMAN LINDBLOM: Okay. Thank
15 you. Is there any questions, comments,
16 statements, from the audience?
17 (No Response)
18 CHAIRMAN LINDBLOM: Hearing none, I

1 public session. PC 2006 -97, Castle Bank Trust
2 Number 8342, petitioner, has filed an application
3 with the United City of Yorkville, Kendall
4 County, Illinois, requesting annexation and
5 rezoning from Kendall County A -1 County
6 Agricultural to the United City of Yorkville B -3
7 Service Business District and R -4 General
8 Residence District.
9 The real property consists of
10 approximately 13.998 acres located at 2200 Route
11 47, Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, and they
12 are asking for annexation and zoning on this.
13 Dan?
14 WHEREUPON:
15 DANIEL J. KRAMER,
16 having been first duly sworn, testified before
17 the Yorkville Plan Commission as follows:
18 MR. KRAMER: Thank you. For the
19 record, my name is Daniel J. Kramer. My address
20 is 1107A South Bridge Street, Yorkville,
21 Illinois, 60540. I am an attorney licensed to
22 practice law in the State of Illinois and I
23 represent the petitioner, Castle Bank Trust
24 Number 8342.
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030

1 This parcel is one that would
2 classify as an in -fill parcel. It's located on
3 the east side of Route 47. It sits contiguous to
4 the City limits on the southern boundary with the
5 parcel that we annexed for the Conover - Fisher
6 property probably about ten years ago when I was
7 sitting next to Tom, and at the time that we
8 annexed that parcel, we did what we would call a
9 floating or a flex zone on the property.
10 On the front of the Conover
11 parcel, which was about 35 or 40 acres, we zoned
12 it B -3 and on the back we gave it an R -4 General
13 Residence District.
14 On our Comprehensive Plan it
15 was one of the sites that the City showed as
16 hoping to get a commuter station ultimately. I
17 know it's been real slow going with the
18 transportation bill, we're not part of METRA yet,
19 so a lot of things have to happen if that would
20 ever come to fruition for the City, but at least
21 when they put that R -4 General Residence District
22 back there, the idea was that that may ripen into
23 a commuter station, and if it did, it would
24 encourage a transit -type density much like you
i
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030
10
1 see in Geneva or even in some respects in
i
2 downtown Aurora, some downtown rejuvenation, try
3 to get people walking, staying out of their cars.
4 In Oswego where you've got the
5 townhouses going right next to the Park and Ride,
6 so people can ride and /or walk next door and
7 literally cut down on some of the congestion. We
8 see very much the same thing with this parcel.
9 Mr. Ratos, who is the owner of
10 the trust, is asking to annex the entire property
11 which is not in right now, he's asking for the
12 front to be B -3 and the back a R -4 as well,
13 General Residence District.
14 When we sit down and write the
15 annexation agreement with the City, we had asked
16 actually to do a flex zoning kind of actually in
17 two different directions. On the B -3 if you did
18 get a good business user for the whole parcel,
19 I'm sure we would like to see it be all business
20 because it generates taxes and less children.
21 The other parcel, he's had two
22 or three people inquiring as far as interest for
23 assisted living, so kind of I've heard some
24 people refer to the level of care needed as the
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030
11
1 go go's, the slow go's and the no go's.
2 Well, we've got the slow go's
3 with the active adult town.homes already, we've
4 got nursing homes, but this area is really sorely
5 lacking any assisted living facilities where you
6 could live independently and so on, and so he's
7 had a couple people talk to him about that, and,
8 frankly, the people that have talked to him have
9 said, look, we might want some commercial at the
10 front to make it walkable for our citizens or we
11 may be interested in a whole parcel for assisted
12 living, so that's something we're going to ask
13 the City Council to kind of build in that it
14 could go all one way or the other.
15 Right now Jim doesn't have an
16 end -user for the parcel, he is just trying to
17 bring it in and get the table set that if this
18 comes to fruition and they meet with the City's
19 Comprehensive Plan and has annexation and zoning
20 done.
21 We have no quarrel with Travis'
22 recommendations on the Staff comments and would
23 ask for a favorable recommendation tonight when
24 you go to your actual work session. So we'll be
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030

4 WHEREUPON:
5 PATRICK KINNALLY,
6 having been first duly sworn, testified before
7 the Yorkville Plan Commission as follows:
8 MR. KINNALLY: Hi. My name is
9 Patrick Kinnally, K- I- N- N- A- L -L -Y. I am an
10 attorney admitted to practice in Illinois. My
11 office is at 2114 Deerpath Road in Aurora,
12 Illinois. I am here to speak on behalf of the
13 owners of the property. The owner is here.
14 My clients have owned this
15 property probably for 20 years now, and
16 originally we were approached by Bob Johnson, who
17 was the mayor when Amurol went in, and asked us
18 to give easements so that that facility could be
19 built. We did so without compensation. And this
20 particular parcel was originally part of the
21 Remline parcel. It's approximately 46 acres,
22 it's zoned or annexed into the City as M -1.
23 Bob, who was the mayor then,
24 asked us to annex in, we did that, and right now
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983 -0030
15
1 it's being farmed, and my client has no intention
2 to develop the property. He owns it and he wants
3 to zone it for business, B -3, which I believe is
4 a less intense use than your M -1 zoning. We're
5 going to sell the property eventually.
6 We have been in discussions
7 with the City prior to Travis being here with
8 respect to whether or not they were going to put
9 one of these facilities like a Park and Ride over
10 in Oswego. We talked to Tony Graff at that time.
11 We are aware and we have talked
12 to the engineers with respect to Faxon Road, we
13 know it's going to be extended, we have seen
14 those plats, we know what the City wants to do
15 with respect to that, they want to dedicate it
16 and we are well aware of that, so I don't have
17 any disagreement with what Travis has written.
18 We're not going to develop the
19 property. My client doesn't have any intention
20 to do that. I know that's a concern of the Plan
21 Commission, but all we're here to do is to ask
22 for the zoning.
23 The property is for sale. Our
24 broker is Mr. Henry Holt from Inland and we are

16
1 actively marketing the property.
2 I'll answer any questions that
3 you have to the best of my ability.
4 CHAIRMAN LINDBLOM: Okay. Is there
5 questions or comments from the public?
