PC 99-13 Inland Real Estate - Yorkville Business Center/Final Plat
Mr. Wywrot explained that this is Final Plat for a re-subdivision and based on his review memo of
this project there are minor issues to be addressed tonight.
Mr. Schoppe asked about an easement between lots 1 & 2, as the site plan shows a dock area
with access down the common lot line. Mr. Fiascone stated they may have to add an easement
along both lots.
A question was raised about storm water management, and Mr. Fiascone stated this parcel would
be served by the front storm water facility. Mr. Wywrot stated the City was comfortable with that
usage.
Mr. Baker motioned and Ms. Lucietto seconded to approve PC 99-13 Final Plat/Inland Real
Estate for the Yorkville Business Center Re-subdivision. On a roll call vote all members present

PC 99-10 Fox River Estates By: Windham Homes - Phil Kneirim. Request for rezoning of
96.4 acres from Kendall County "A" Agricultural to City of Yorkville R-2 Single Family
zoning & Preliminary Plan approval.
Tom Grant presented an overview of the development plan on behalf of the petitioner, explaining
they have reconfigured the detention, added the small park at the north end, and moved the River
access to the east side of the development, with parking along the street, and no parking below
the hill.
Chairman Lindblom asked if a turn-around could be put in, the developer felt they could. Mr.
Grant explained also that the railroad will not allow two road cuts over the tracks. The move of
the river access to the east side as mentioned above, allows them to share the Boy Scout Camp
access as a second emergency access. This access is about half way across the camp, but is near
lot #21 and could serve as an emergency access on the west end of the development. Mr. Grant
continued stating all lots are 12,000 square feet or better now, but they would still like 7 1/2 foot
sideyard setbacks for lots with 3 car garages. Mr. Wywrot stated he recommends approval
subject to his review. Mr. Schoppe stated moving the access to the east is more advantageous in
the development of homes in the tree area, and will still have more than an acre of trees.
Mr. Baker pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan calls for a road and a cut across the railroad
tracks in the future through this area also.
The Park Board has asked for several parking spaces, and Mr. Grant stated the developer felt this
could be worked out in their final plan.
Mr. Grant stated that no variance has been requested for sideyard setbacks, but asked for
consideration.
The Plan Commission stated there was a questionable dumping area on the site that could have
some hazardous waste and ground contamination, and wanted to know what the developer
planned to do. The developer assured the Commission that there hasn't been any testing, but if
there is hazardous waste and contamination it will be cleaned up.
Mr. Grant emphasized that they are coming in without asking for anything. They are not asking
for any variances. Mr. Grant also stated that the buffer will be re-visited due to lot#3 access.
Mr. Wywrot stated that it makes sense to align the roads from this development and Fox Lawn
where they meet at Fox Road. The possibility of future control at this point making this more
reasonable and alignment is always better.
