The meeting was called to order at 9:10 am by Joe Wywrot. The March 27 minutes were
approved with one correction.
Richard Marker &Associates—Mile and%Review
The petitioner seeks county B-3 zoning classification, which is not consistent with
the proposed land use of Neighborhood retail by the City's comprehensive plan. The
county B-1 zoning classification is more consistent with the City's recommended land
use. The County B-3 zoning allows these uses: drive thru business, financial institutions,
taverns, liquor stores, gasoline service stations, and boat rental/storage, which are
considered special uses in the city's zoning ordinance.
The pre-annexation agreement expired in 2007. There is currently no public
utility infrastructure on the property.
The petitioner has no end user in mind, hopes to market the property, and thinks
this piece would eventually annex to the city along with a larger piece. The petitioner
had a favorable meeting with Kendall County regarding this property.
Brendan McLaughlin questioned whether the petitioner would have any benefit to
a re-negotiated annexation agreement for this property, but the petitioner prefers the
flexibility the buyer would have for remaining in the County, or petitioning the City.
The railroad right of way, along the east side of Rt. 47 and owned by ComEd, will
be required to cross the property to access Route 47. Ms. Kurtzman recommends the
City's setbacks and coverage in the zoning code be adopted for this property.
Mr. Neyer, representing the petitioner, agreed to dedicate the right of way along
Ament Road. There is no pressure zone currently in existence on this property.
This will be presented at the May 14 Plan Commission.
Fountainview I DTD Investments—Amendment to PUD
Ms. Kurtzman stated the amendment had several references to the PUD and she
questions why the petitioner is seeking straight B-3 zoning. Dan Kramer suggested the
City had recommended a PUD in earlier meetings.

The petitioner is asking for a 33' right of way, moving the sidewalks out of the
right of ways. The concern was providing the original setback of 40'. The width of the
lot is the contention. The petitioner asks for a 7' reduction in the setback. There is a
parking setback with a landscaping between the parking and the side walk. The
commercial user wants the building to face Route 47.
Ms. Kurtzman stated side yard setbacks are established for fire protection. Mr.
McLaughlin suggested reducing the interior setback lines between the two interior lot
lines. The petitioner will move the lot line between lots 2 and 3 further north.
Joe Wywrot stated his concerns regarding Fountainview Drive. The petitioner is
stating there will be a southbound stop and westbound stop,but the traffic heading east
and turning left off Fountainview Drive would be free flowing. The petitioner is now
waiting for a response from IDOT.
The petitioner will file an amendment to the ordinance, will modify the language
and have amendment language to the City by April 23. The petitioner may suggest to the
City additional parking stalls on the north side of the building on Lot 3.
This is scheduled for the May 14 Plan Commission.
S_ tagecoach Crossin-—Preliminary/Final Plan
Ms. Boettcher stated property parking should be provided and questioned if any
parking would be shared between buildings. The petitioner will provide an overlay for
the City. Any petitioner on a lot with a drive-thru business must now apply for a special
use, to comply with a new amendment to the zoning ordinance.
Joe Wywrot said IDOT may want to gain control of the trapezoid shaped area
adjoining Route 47. If this is the case, the property will need to be designated a separate
lot, conveyed to the state. A cross access easement should be expanded to include an
easement across Lots 5 and 7, for property to the west, and across Lot 7 to the property to
the north. The property to the west is land locked, and there is a retaining wall running
about 2/3 of the length of the west side. A driveway from Lot 5 is being recommended
by the city, or at the least, a continuation of the drive aisle along the north side of Lot 5.
The storm water maintenance documents should be contained in the homeowner
covenants. The storm water detention areas are tied to lots 3 and 7, and proportionate
detention area splits could be assigned to each lots.
A memo with additional notes for additions to the mylar, will be due on May 2 -
needed are: proportionate best management storm water accessments; a plan for
maintenance of parking areas; potential assignment of the separate trapezoid lot to IDOT;
and ingress/ egress easements to be granted.
This will be presented at the May 14 Plan Commission.
Prairie Point Lot 2 B, Crimson Lane—Special Use
Ms. Boettcher stated the parking spaces must all be 18.5'. The landscape median
should be a minimum of 10'. All subdivided lots must be provided with proper ingress
and egress. The changes will be done by the petitioner.
Ms. Kurtzman stated all of Lot 2 be shown, as the northwestern section of Lot 2
will be landlocked, creating a non-buildable lot. The fence should be constructed of
2
f
materials similar to the primary building. The petitioner will be using constructing a
masonry wall with a front gate.
Joe Wywrot stated that storm water best management practices should be required
of this developer. The landscaping should be incorporated in the interior landscaping
areas. He recommends that the end parking stalls be protected by landscaping islands,
which would mean that there would be two stalls less. To increase the number of stalls,
the petitioner may share parking with the owner, PrimeAmerica. This may be the easier
way to rectify the parking issue.
A drive way exit potentially could be added to the west or to the north.
The petitioner should demonstrate to the Plan Commission that the remainder of
Lot 2 is buildable.
This is scheduled for the May 14 Plan Commission.
