Citizen Comments: None Minutes for Correction/Approval September 6, 2011 The minutes were approved as read. New Business 1. EDC 2011-37 Building Permit Report for August 2011 Alderman Funkhouser noted the permits seemed to be trending up slightly. 2. EDC 2011–38 Building Inspection Report Summary for August 2011 Per committee request, Ms. Barksdale-Noble said she included the B&F inspection report. 3. EDC 2011-39 Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement Between the United City of Yorkville and the Bristol-Kendall Fire Protection District Ms. Barksdale-Noble said BKFD also provided input for this agreement and the amendment will apply to the fee sheet. When the building codes were amended, it included operational permits and false alarm fees and this agreement will serve to memorialize this action. It will move forward to City Council and a Public Hearing is not needed. A draft ordinance was also included. Alderman Funkhouser asked if the $25 operational permit fee was typical. This fee will cover administrative and paper costs and Ms. Barksdale-Noble said it is a one-time fee. 1 It will apply to all new or existing businesses that fall into any one of six categories noted in a memo from her. This item moves forward to the Council consent agenda. 4. EDC 2011-40 Autumn Creek – PUD Amendment & Re-subdivision of Phase 1 Final Plat Ms. Barksdale-Noble gave an overview of this item. In the previous year, the Autumn Creek ordinance was amended and there was language stating the City would reconsider a re-plat of townhomes to single family. Pulte has done an analysis of the market trends to determine the types of homes appropriate for the current market and as a result, have re-platted their lots. Originally there were 24 multi-family lots with 107 units and 31 single family lots are now proposed reducing the density by 30%. There was also a requirement for a fiscal impact analysis. Staff was provided with 2010 tax year information about the SSA. Pulte will be required to front fund the SSA in the amount of $1.8 million. Consequently, there is no negative impact to future homeowners. Homeowner association fees will also not have a negative impact due to the re-platting. A 1% decrease is expected in each home contribution. According to Peter Raphael, in order to reduce the density, a portion of the bond has to be pre-paid and these payments will be made at the time the plats are recorded. Alderman Teeling asked how Pulte would accomplish decreased homeowner assessment with fewer people. Pulte will contribute money for this since there is not as much demand for townhomes and there will be more contributors with single-family homes. Alderman Funkhouser asked if new products would be available with the new lots. According to Mr. Daab a new ranch product may be introduced. Ms. Teeling said it is more advantageous to see some building occurring rather than nothing. She also asked if this would also take place in Bristol Bay, however, it is not known at this time. This item will also go to Plan Commission for a Public Hearing in November and then move forward to City Council. Old Business None Additional Business Mayor Golinski discussed the ‘Jail of the Dead” at the former jail. He has toured it and he thinks it is worthwhile project and will attract people downtown. Ms. Teeling also said proceeds help with expenses there. Some windows have been replaced, painting has been done and the building has been cleaned. Electrical work will be done and the drama club is assisting with the theatrical portion. The Fire Department has also approved the facility. Volunteers are needed according to Mayor Golinski. There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 6:50pm. Minutes respectfully submitted by 2 Marlys Young
