She revised #3 to properly reflect Routes 126 and 71; and revised the chart to reflect the new OS-1 and OS- 2 Districts. Chapter 8: PUD: Ms. Noble pointed out that after all of the changing around of the Chapters, she corrected the titles from 10-13 to 10-8. 10-8-4 B. 3 Page 76 now reads: “The benefit of the PUD plan shall forward or exceed the goals of the stated development standards and regulations of city ordinances, which include but are not limited to the Subdivision Control Ordinance, Landscape Ordinance, Sign Ordinance, Design Guidelines and Water Conservation Ordinance” per Mr. Huinker’s suggestion. 10-8-5 B. 3: Pre-Application Conference : Ms. Noble took Mr. Baker’s suggestion to staff, they agreed that it shall now read: “Staff shall review and provide input on the proposal’s compatibility with the comprehensive plan and the goals and policies for planning of the city and advise the applicant on the information, documents, exhibits, and drawings on the proposal that should be included in the application to the city for a Planned Unit Development.” (Ord. 2006-40, 5-23-2006) 10-8-7 11 E : Preliminary PUD Plat page 83: Mr. Baker asked Ms. Noble about the Park Board references and she said things were going well. Referenced section now 2 reads: “Park Board Representative: When applicable for the Park Board’s review of the Preliminary Planned Unit Development Plat and supporting documentation, the Park Board shall have a representative present at the Plan Commission public hearing meeting for input and recommendation to the City Council. The recommendations may include conditions of approval intended to be incorporated into final plans and supporting Item 1 documentation. () Park Board Representative’s Purview (If Applicable): The Park Board Representative shall consider the following standards when considering the Preliminary Planned Unit Development Plat and supporting documentation.” Ms. Noble changed “Park Board” to “Park Board Representative (when applicable)” throughout this Section. There was then some discussion on Community Development and Engineering getting developers through the Review Process more quickly. Naperville and Joliet (Dick Dublinski) were suggested as cities to contact regarding their review processes as they are both quite successful with it. Ms. Noble will check with them and report back to the Committee. Chapter 9: A-1 Agricultural District: Ms. Noble then went on to the Ag district and said that “Paddocks” were added to 10-9-2.7 and the language for number 8. now reads, “Temporary roadside stand offering for sale only products homemade, handcrafted, grown, harvested, or cultivated.” to cover jarred honey and things like that. The only other change was removing the reference to ‘farm animals, livestock or any other domesticated animals” from the permitted uses list. Chapter 10: OS-1 Open Space District (Passive): Ms. Noble said she was asked to separate these two districts and broke them down into Passive and Recreational - and offered these theories behind it. OS-1 is the Passive Open Space and she listed the uses. She is going to add “Solar Rooftop Panels” to the list. 10-10A-4: Accessory Uses, Buildings and Structures: Ms. Noble pointed out that “Item 4. Parking lot or facilities” has not been addressed in the past. Mr. Baker asked how the number of parking spaces is determined and Ms. Noble thanked him for his question and advised it will be addressed with other communities to see how they calculate their needs. 10-10A-5: Dimensional and Bulk Requirements: Ms. Noble brought up the question as far as the Front Yard meeting the 30’ setback and Side Yards of 10’ with existing buildings and structures and she said it was covered with the language crafted to read: hereafter “Every building erected or enlarged” so there won’t be a problem. 10-10A-5: Dimensional and Bulk Requirements: B: Side Yards: and C: Rear Yards: Eliminate the word “overall” with regard to building height (in OS-1). Chapter 10: OS-2 Open Space District (Recreational): Mr. Baker questioned the redundancy of roof mounted solar panels listed in OS-2 when it was already permitted in OS-1. Ms. Noble stated that just because it is a special use in OS-1, it could be a permitted use in OS-2, so it is not redundant. 3 10-10B-4: Accessory Uses, Buildings and Structures : Ms. Noble noticed that under A. 8. Stormwater detention facilities needed to come off this list, then asked the committee if they wanted to define it as Accessory Use. After some discussion, it was decided to keep as Permitted Use. She then asked if there was anything that needed to be added at this time. There was nothing. Mr. Baker asked for any comments to add or share. Ms. Noble said there will be an announcement on the City website looking for candidates to fill the two vacamt seats on the Committee (Mr. Pfister and Mr.Green). There were no other comments or questions so Mr. Baker made a motion to adjourn the meeting; Mr. Neyer so moved; and Mr. Millen seconded. All were in favor and the meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m. The next meeting will be Wed, June 22 at the City Hall conference room @ 7:00 p.m. Minutes respectfully submitted by: Bonnie Olsem 4
