into the United City of Yorkville and re-zone from Kendall County A-1 Agricultural to United
City of Yorkville B-3 Service Business District with M-1 Limited Manufacturing Uses. The
property is located north of the Burlington Railroad tracks and on the east side of Route#47,
Yorkville On a voice vote all members present voting yes. Motion carried.
Attorney Kramer stated that this is the same parcel that had been before the Plan Commission a
couple of months ago, and there were a couple of things that needed to be cleared up. The City of
Yorkville had asked for this annexation and wanted to include all M-1 uses with the B-3 Zoning.
They felt it made good sense. The mayor had checked the Comprehensive Plan, and if fact in the
event of commuter service coming to Yorkville,this is a future site for a Metra Station. The
petitioner has been talked to and they have agreed that if the commuter station comes this would
then revert to an R-3 residential use. This is back to Plan Commission for a public hearing on
this zoning.

PC 2000-03 Tucker Development for Yorkville Market Place
Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, PUD and Landscaping Plan
Attorney Tracy Kasson, attorney for Tucker Development stated this a 19.3 acre parcel at route
#34 & Route 437. A Jewel Food Store is proposed, and Mr. Peter Theodore from Jewel is here
tonight as part of their group. This is the Final Plat for Jewel Osco which will be a 64,000
square foot anchor store. The balance of the parcel will be developed at a later date. They are
asking for PUD approval.
Ken Fixler of Tucker stated this will be a first class shopping center. The first phase will be
80,000 square feet followed by 225,000 square feet of shops.
Mark Kurensky, of HKM, the land planing and landscaping plan representative stated that the
plan covers several phases of development. Landmark Avenue will be extended to the second
access street. Jewel will face route 434, and the perimeter road will be a service drive to Market
Place Drive. At the center on route#34 there will be a "right-in- right-out", and the detention
will be at the south edge of the property. The landscape plan shows a second anchor store at the
south portion of the parcel. The challenge on a plan like this is to hide the cars from view while
showing the buildings. This site has a visibility problem due to the locations of the Ace and
Mobile. They will also have heavy landscaping along the back to screen the back of the
buildings. At the front they will use low flowering trees and flowering plants with shade trees at
the corners. The rear view into the detention will be grassy. There will be trees in the islands on
the parking lot, except for in front of the store.
Chairman Lindblom asked if they had any thoughts on the signal at route#47.
Tracy Kasson stated they were working with IDOT and their traffic planner .
Peter Theadore, architect stated he is proud to be associated with Jewel and Tucker
Development. What is proposed tonight will have a lasting effect on the development of
Yorkville's commercial. The shape of the first development can be pointed to as an example for
future developers. The proposed building for Yorkville has not been built anywhere before.
This plan becomes a series of stores with 85% glass, and all elements come together. They will
use the same family of materials which will bring it down to the ground for a low effect. Phase
two will be slightly different. The will have pylon signage at#34 at the "right-in-right-out" and
also on#47. Each will be 20 feet high will double sided signs with back-lighting. Phase one is
3
13 acres bordered by Landmark Drive & Market Drive, and one dry bottom pond. There will be
an area for expansion at the west end of the Jewel. The sewer and storm sewer are located at the
south end of the parcel, and the sanitary sewer will extend from the far south to the north, and to
Ace for possible re-development of that site.
Chairman Lindblom asked if the water is looped, and the building sprinkled. Mr. Kurensky
stated yes to both.
Chairman Lindblom asked what the time frame was.
Mr. Kurenski stated that they plan for a 2002 opening, and they will break ground as soon as the
weather breaks.
Mr. Kasson stated there is no time frame for the balance of the development of shops.
Ms. Lucietto asked about the variance request as 10" aggregate as road base is specified.
Mr. Kurensky stated they have used 8" for public parking lots and feel this is adequate.
Mr. Baker stated the parking lot is always the first thing to go.
Mr. Kasson stated a truck turning on it on a hot day can do that.
Mr. Schillinger asked if they would look at the lighting the City has at the Riverfront and
consider using some like this for esthetics only for the look and feel rather than any actual
lighting.
Bonnie Flock, traffic engineer stated that they will address the traffic issues to identify the impact
on existing roads and traffic. IDOT has plans for route#47 currently in the planning stage.
Mr. Kubala asked what would be done to alleviate the mess on route#47 at rush hour without
depending on IDOT since it is grid lock at this corner at 5:30 PM.
Mr. Flock stated they will work with traffic reports which state 150 vehicles in one hours time at
peak hours.
Mr. Kasson stated many of those will stop a Jewel.
Mayor Prochaska stated the traffic at this corner will increase regardless of this development and
the City is looking at this with Tom Cross.
Mr. Kasson stated that there is nothing they can do except at access points, but they will widen
the entrances.
Mr. Baker stated that the access on#34 appears to be right at the point where the road narrows.
4
Mr. Kasson stated this was prepared before the study had been completed, but through lanes will
be 1 lane each in each direction, and they will provide a deceleration lane. Also, IDOT will look
at this and demand what they want. IDOT has to sign off on the plat.
Chairman Lindblom asked for comments from Mr. Wywrot and Mr. Schoppe.
Mr. Wywrot stated he did not see any major issues.
Mr. Schoppe stated there had been good dialog regarding the site plan and related house
cleaning items. He suggested a stub be connected. Preliminary and Final Site Plans and Phase
One Preliminary,there are some issues regarding visibility. They will request variances as we
work through the issues.
Mr. Jones stated he liked the presentation and the enthusiasm. They had him at Hello!
