The meeting was called to order at 9:15 am by Joe Wywrot.The March 8"'minutes were
approved with one correction.
Cobblestone South—Final Plat of Subdivision
Regarding Laura Haake's comments, (item 6)the petitioner stated there is a bike path on
the south side adjacent to the property line. Travis Miller suggested the city would evaluate the
swale,asking the petitioner to increase the evergreen material to provide more screening, in lieu
of the wall. Regarding item 11,the pedestrian connection will be extended to the curb, for future
connections to trails. The Rob Roy Creek bridge is not adjacent to the petitioner's property, as
this belongs to Mr.Faltz(item 12). The city proposed arranging the easement,to cross the flood
plain in the rear. The city would pay for the trail, extending to the trail, and the developer will
put it in. Regarding item 13,the city will own the pavement which is in the easement.
Dan Kramer stated that an owner easement access agreement would be recorded,cross
referencing it with the final plat. One copy will be provided to the building department.
Regarding Rebecca Houseman's comment(#9),Anna Kurtzman cautioned that ground or
pole signs not located in any easements. If so an exception should be noted on the plat.There is a
city easement on the SE corner of Eldamain Rd. and Rt. 34,where the Yorkville welcome sign is
placed. Tim Tynan will put together drawings for the sign he proposes.
The developer will accommodate a 12' drive through on lot 2 (proposed bank)to meet
city requirements. The petitioner need to record a cross parking easement across lots 1 and 2,
providing adequate parking for lot 2. On the final engineering plans,representative vehicles are
usually depicted to meet the criteria(item 15). Regarding item 16,Anna Kurtzman okayed the 20
and 24 ft. setbacks. The developer will be obtaining trail easements for the common access onto
Rt. 34 from lot 1.These will be on the final plat.
Jim Uecker stated it is problematic for them to provide additional underground storage
room for storm water. Joe Wywrot stated the Fox Hill Annexing ordinance of 1974 says the city
must maintain pre-existing conditions,and this should be provided in an interim basis in the
southern end of Cobblestone North. The city will consider developers' credit for replacement of
peat for CA-1 stone. Options are: 1)types of storage; 2)offsite pass through; 3)void space
storage; and 4)elliptical piping. Craig Knoche will send plans for Plano,regarding the storm
water alignment with this development. Rob Roy Falls is revising their concept plan.
The developer will put a monument sign on Rt. 34 at the access. Mr.Tynan stated there
would be IDS restrictions on the footage for a light for the monument sign. The developer would
1
like a right in,right out at the northeast corner of the property,with a turnabout to the west of the
Rob Roy property.
The 10' sanitary to Fox Hill Unit 7 should go through the park to lot 1, stubbing to the
Primus property on the east. Cobblestone North has a different pressure zone.
The re-zoning Eldamain Rd.Bridge project,across the front of the property, is scheduled
for 2007.
This will be at the April 11 plan commission.
ynstone—Preliminary Plan
This is a PUD submission. There is a one lot,with a private drive,and a public access to
Rt.47. There will be a 60' access along Rt. 47. Wyndham Deerpoint will pay for the public
access. There will be a light at this access. (#2 on Rebecca Houseman's comments). The
developer is asking for 40 feet between the buildings (item a on comment#3).
The developer added the park and hopes to maintain the two(approximate) acres of
wooded acre around the project. Dave Mogle said that the ComEd park property in Raintree
Village is a very short distance from this 0.58 proposed park property on Wyndham Deerpoint's
property. Mr. Guerard stated that he would take out the parking spaces in the park, should the
city take ownership. In addition,Mr.Mogle asked for a clear boundary on the park,which
would be provided at final engineering. This is on the agenda for the park board meeting tonight.
Wyndham Deerpoint is suggesting there would be seating area,walkways,and pavers at the
entrance, and Rich Guerard stated he would not be seeking credit from the city. The sidewalk
along St. Joseph's Way is private, and the city is hoping it can be extended to connect. Mr.
Guerard will check with the Home Owner's Association.
Joe Wywrot would like the developer to consider the hydrology in the area so trees will
not drown in the detention area. The
There are two parking places for each unit and an additional 28 spaces that will be
relabeled on the plans. The developer's side yards are 25 feet, due to the configuration when the
road is put in.
The trees that have been cut in this area are not on Wyndham Deerpoint's property.
Tim Fairfield questioned access to the parcel to the south. Mr.Wywrot said he believes
all streets should be public streets, and if not,then a separate 66' wide parcel with blanket
easements for utilities and access. The creek at the southern end may require a foot bridge.
There is 29', side yard setback, from the back of the buildings to the western property line,and
Mr. Guerard said the buildings could be moved back if the width of the access is a problem. The
buffer yard would be on the commercial side.
The access to the north is now not restricted,and could be an emergency access only
according to Mr. Guerard. Mr. Fairfield stated parking should be restricted along Walnut Drive
to give the fire department enough space for their trucks.The developer will check out his
options.
There has been a non jurisdictional determination made by the Army Corps of Engineers
on the property. Rich Guerard will work with Lennar to install a smaller diameter storm sewer
for discharge.
The developer will need an additional off site easement to Route 47,to establish two
distant points of connection.Joe Wywrot stated the development will need another water main
the service the area. The Fox Highlands pressure zone cannot be used because it is too low. Mr.
Guerard will discuss the possibility of a pressure sustaining valve with EEI. The developer will
show the location of Bonnie Lane and Saravonos private roadway on the preliminary plan. Joe
Wywrot favors a south bound lane into the Saravanos property and sent a letter to Smith
Engineering regarding this fact. Wyndham Deerpoint has a 60' right of way, and the developers
of the proposed business will be expected to dedicate an additional 20 feet for the commercial
right of way.

This will be at the April 11 plan commission.
Goodwill —Final Plat of Subdivision
Anna Kurtzman stated the landscape buffer easement needs to be labeled on the final
plat. The city is waiting for Menards to pay fees and establish a letter of credit before completion
of the re-subdivision of Menards.
The free standing sign will be relocated. The sign code states the sign should be on a
street, or a major drive,which would be Countryside Parkway. The sign at the front entrance
proposed on the engineering plans will be moved back,because of existing easements.
The center median have been moved,to accommodate the Countryside Parkway
opposing turn lanes. The second island width has been added to provide an additional buffer.Joe
Wywrot is requesting a frontage driveway stub to the Hamanns property to the east,and also
utility stubbing. The plat should reflect a cross access easements. The detention extension that is
graded out should continue to the sand bottom and elevation.
This is scheduled for plan commission on April 11.
Corn Holdings—Rezoning
The developer hopes to market the property for commercial uses. The comprehensive
plan designates this site for a potential Metra station or Park N Ride facility. Faxon Rd. stubs into
the property to the west and the city intends to extend into Rt.47, lining up with the entrance to
Wrigley. The city hopes to acquire the Hoag property to the west for right of way. The Xpac
property to the south has been tested and the developer is awaiting the NFR letter.
This is scheduled for the April 11 plan commission.
