3. PC 2002-15 Country Hills Phase 2: Dennis and Barbara Dwyer—Final Plat
Brian Brown with McClure Engineering said Joe Wyrot informed them there's already a
Meadow Lane in the city. The developers then changed one of the road names in the
development to Meadowlark Lane.
There was a footprint problem with lot 87 in Phase 1 that is now included in Phase 2 and
in the legal description is says it was in Phase 1.
Kramer said the city has no problem with the way the issue is being handled from
engineering prospective as long as the developer sets it out as conspicuous note on the
plat. He's concerned if a title company would pick it up in a search.
Brown said there is a note on the legal description right underneath the surveyor's
certificate. That's the way our land surveyors thought it would be best handled. When he
did research he would see it automatically. Kramer suggested Brown ask a title company
if they feel they would pick up such a notation in their searches. �9

and Final Plat
Dean Edmeier reported that the number of units does not change in the revised plat. Some
three-unit buildings will be converted to four units. Kramer said the development was
originally approved as a PUD,the buildings are not going quit as in the original envelope,
so the PUD agreement has to be amended. He said there is no other way to do it more
expeditiously. He said the city wants the Plan Commission to give its consent. An open
hearing will then be scheduled for the City Council meeting July 2.
Lindblom said Wyrot indicated there were a few minor engineering concerns. Edmeier
said those problems have been addressed.

5. PC 2002-12 Kylyn's Ridge: AMG Homes, Inc., petitioner, requests concept plan
review on the property located on Faxon Road west of Cannonball Estates.
Chad Gunderson said the company is currently building the homes in Cannonball Estates.
The company has contracted to buy the 70 acres surrounding the subdivision to create the
subdivision, Kylyn's Ridge.
Kubala asked about the single-family residence near the property marked excluded.
Gunderson said he'd like to meet with the owner to coordinate issues such as easements.
City Planner Mike Schoppe indicated the residential use is the right use for the property.
He also said the planned realignment of Faxon Road will not affect the development of
the property.
He said the general road layout of the proposed subdivision is good. For open space,
there will be 2.5 acres of land for a park, which will be adjacent to an existing park, and
2.5 acres in cash.
Baker commented that the streets are 66 feet wide, which he approves of Also,the
minimum lot size is 12,000 square feet.
Gunderson said that although he's working with the neighboring property owner to
resolve issues regarding the development of the land, he doesn't expect they'll come to
100 percent agreement on all issues. However, he said he'd like to be reasonable.
In response to a question from Kubala, Gunderson said he doesn't think it's necessary to
have access from the private owner's property to the subdivision because of the large
amount access to Faxon Road.
Gunderson said he doesn't think it's necessary. However, Kramer said the city
administrator is certain he'd like to see a connection because the city wants to provide
connectivity. Jorge Boada said he doesn't think that needs to be done and that one access
to the property is sufficient. Schoppe said that Jorge is right and that is the logical way to
develop the property. The recommendation from City Council and Plan Commission is to
provide two accesses.
Lindblom said he's feel better with another way in off from Faxon Road. Boada said that
from a planning point of view, it would make the best sense to leave Faxon Road as a
thoroughfare with limited access. He said the two access points already seem to be the
most efficient.
Baker said if the five acres was ever developed into a subdivision the city would want
nothing other than a cul-de-sac going in for traffic reasons.
Lindblom said he's just trying to keep some options open. He said the five acres might
not ever be developed.

'Kubala asked what the term linear park referred to. Gunderson said it's linear green space
that connects two parks. He said the concept came out of discussions of a walk path or
bike path.
Kubala commended the developers for not squeezing homes into the plan. Gunderson
said he believes great communities sell. He said he likes Yorkville and what the
community is trying to do.
He said he expects the homes to be built within two to four years depending on the
economy.
The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
