PC 2001-03 Bristol Club - Preliminary Plan
Located at Galena, Cannonball & Dixon Roads. Gregg Gabel and Joe Popp have
had several meeting with Joe Wywrot and Tony Graff. Setbacks are an issue.
Annexation agreement will state setbacks; 10' side (15' if possible), 30' front
minimums. To equalize the sideyards to center the dwelling, exact wording will
be drafted by Kramer. This is to be stated in the preamble of the annexation
agreement that this is not a precedent setting situation but unique to this
development.
City Council asked Gabel to provide a cross-section to the annexation agreement
as an exhibit. It was given to Wywrot.
New plans were done. Gabel agreed to Wywrot's comments. Fabric was not
shown, but was agreed to. Type of curbing and back to back street widths are
addressed in the agreement.
Existing tree diameters to be shown on the plan were discussed. 12" are shown
not 6". A 6" tree is the cut off between saving a tree and one too small. The only
trees that need to be located are the ones they want to receive credit for in land
cash, otherwise no need to show any.
It was previously agreed that the developer does not need to stub utilities or a
roadway to the south. Inland has agreed to this.

Water service (domestic drinking water) was discussed. Nanninga is checking
with K&K for information. Story Brook is being looked at as an example. They
have a community well that is a 350' deep and pumps 120 gal/min. It is sufficient
to serve 40-50 homes. It is a pressure tank system that would hold 5-6000 gallons.
The size of the pump will determine the number of homes to serve. They are
hoping that the City will have watermains along Galena Blvd. by the time they are
ready for the second phase. Adding some language to the agreement defining the
number of homes to be served by the well(s) was discussed. They are pursuing
servicing this community with one or two community wells until city water is
available.
Schoppe clarification, this is a R1 PUD on the west side. Park Land cash is not
determined yet. The developer is suggesting all cash. The current plan does not
suggest any park land.
Last meeting a future road to Route 47 was discussed, no follow up has been done
at this point. Schoppe will make note to bring up again.
Landscape plan needs to be submitted prior to Plan Commission.
Clarification was made as to Plan Commission minutes. The lots are 25,000 sq. ft.
minimum, average about 32,000.
Schoppe recommended including some additional information. Add setbacks to
the cross section, sidewalks, streetlights and parkway trees. Gabel stated going by
out ordinance. Clustering the trees is ok at the same number.
Graff asked for the exhibit for tonight. Gabel submitted the endangered species
and tile study history to Wywrot.
Annexation and PUD are going before City Council tonight.
Building size was discussed. The Council would like to set the building size to
equate in the probability of seeing a $300,000 estate home. Specifics were
discussed as to the minimum allowable square footage to achieve this, the price
per square foot, covenants from White Oak Estates, Shafer Woods, and Blackberry

Oaks, amenities directly related to the EAV, and architectural characteristic
restrictions.
Graff asked Dettmer to gather information for him. Graff will make a comment to
the Mayor and contact Gabel by phone this PM as to minimum square footage
recommendation.
Cross section needs to be drawn to scale and the purpose was to give a visual
display of the setbacks for the building permit process.
To City Council on 8/23/01.
Minutes were accepted as presented from July 31, 2001.
Additional Business
Prairie Garden
Schoppe asked for a status on Prairie Garden. Easement granted for the west end
only to bring to a rough grade only. No current easement in Greenbriar except
conservation easement. There is no language defining conservation easement.
They are getting approximately a $5500 cash credit, no trail at all. City would
have to add the trail if it is determined to put in. The easement is not in a
buildable state. The Park Board is receiving approx. $97,000 in cash above the
$5500 credit. They don't have a problem with this because they also receive 50%
of the trail cost from the state. That portion of the trail is going to be a minimum
cost to the Park Board compared to the money received. In the future, the term
"Buildable State" will be defined in the agreement or the bond will be held.
Inland Office Building on Route 34
Dettmer stated he has been talking to Inland about putting up a temporary trailer in
the new location and will use the building parking lot as permanent parking lot.
Eldamain Road and Route 34
Eldamain and Route 34, on the northeast corner is a 148' strip of land zoned B3.
The owner wants to put self storage units on the entire property. Standards for
Page 3 of 4
fences were discussed. Different scenarios were discussed. Landscape screening
is important for this piece. Dettmer will review annexation agreement and
setbacks prior to issuing permit. Will also give Landscape Ordinance to owner,
Sal is owner. No zoning analysis done yet. This is not a desired use for this
parcel, but the use is listed as an allowable use under the B3 zoning classification.
Comprehensive Plan Update
Graff announced the Workshops for the Comprehensive Plan. The first is set for
the 4th Wednesday of September and will basically educate on zoning. The
second, on the 4th Wednesday of October will be more directed toward the
identification of areas for change. Graff encouraged Plan Council members to
attend. After November plan council will meet with Rodney Tonnelli to support
and discuss information from the workshop, define engineering issues and discuss
concepts on new issues.
ComEd Annexation of ROW
Com Ed finished the paperwork for annexation of ROW all along the railroad to
Bristol Club. Trying to annex out to Mill Road (to the east) which will also
provide contiguity to Moser/Pasquinelli. Anticipating a 60 day response time.
Tucker/Jewel-Osco
Wywrot stated that we received offsite roadway improvement plans for Jewel.
They basically ignored the BKEMS driveway. He held a meeting with Henne and
Hitzemann. They were not comfortable with any suggestions made. Wywrot will
make review comments assuming the drives stay as is. Graff will attempt to meet
with IDOT, Tucker, Henne and Hitzemann.
Meeting adjourned at 10:38 a.m.
Minutes respectfully submitted by Holly Baker.
