The property is located on Corneils Road approximately 2500 feet east of Eldamain Road, Yorkville. Attorney for the petitioner, Mark Gershon stated that they were working on bringing this through Kendall County and Yorkville at the same time and have had strong support from the City. Gershon explained that Enron is proposing to build a gas powers peaking power plant to supply electric to ComEd at their nearby sub-station. They were delayed about a year in this process as ComEd was not ready. They are seeking a favorable recommendation from the City of Yorkville for their re-zoning in Kendall County while at the same time they are seeking approval from the City of Yorkville to annex into Yorkville and re-zone to M-2 General Manufacturing District upon becoming contiguous to Yorkville. Fred Metro, representative from Enron explained that had offices in Houston, Texas, and had just opened an office here in Chicago. Enron is a large player as the largest natural gas company and largest wholesale eclectic company in the U.S. They started as a pipe line company and de- regulation has allowed them to have expanded into other areas of the business. They have holdings around the world. This facility will be for peak time electric only, and will be generated by natural gas. It is adjacent to a large ComEd sub-station that they will connect into and will not require running any additional power lines. There are also many natural gas pipe lines in the area which will afford an easy access of gas for generation of electric power. The area where they will locate is designated as industrial in both the Kendall County Comprehensive Plan as well as Yorkville's Comprehensive Plan and the area already has a Blacktop manufacturing plant, the Menards Warehouse, and of course the ComEd sub-station. This is a $150,000,000. Investment in the community. They plan to start generation of power with 5 generators and expand to a maximum of 10. They will have 4 to 8 employees and require very little infrastructure. They will meet the landscape ordinance with buffers. They have changed the entrance due to a suggestion s from land planner for the City, Mike Schoppe, and will have heavy landscaping at the entrance and there will be a wet pond for detention. The construction will provide about 300 construction jobs, and once completed will not present any traffic issues. Mr. Landland asked if there is any air and/or noise pollution connected with this generation of power. Mr. Gershon stated that there is only hot air, like what you would get from a gas stove. Mr. Kubala asked about radiation and electric conduction. Mr. Gershon stated there is an electro magnetic field related to the sub-station and the power in the lines, but they would have nothing in addition to what is already there. Chairman Lindblom asked if the generation plant would make this area less likely to experience a brown out. Mr. Gershon stated that ComEd decides where the power goes, but the area system would be more secure. Mr. Metro stated they would add only one additional line, and it would be underground to the sub- station. There would be no on site fuel storage and they plan to start construction in August. Mr. Schillinger asked if they were likely to add more than 10 generators. Mr. Gershon stated they were limited to the parcel size, and this is a maximum expected based on their calculation of power they could sell to ComEd, and what ComEd can handle. Ms. Adams asked if there would be a mumming noise. Mr. Gershon stated this would be equal to a neighbors air conditioner if you went outside. The noise level is regulated by the IEPA. Mr. Kubala asked about excessive humidity and water vapors. Mr. Metro stated no, the exhaust is at 800 degrees but it is far away by the time a vapor develops. They have to have an application and permit from the EPA, and must meet their standards. Mr. Jones motioned and Mr. Wenman seconded a to adjourn from PC 2000-09 On a voice vote all members present voting_aye. Motion carried. Old Business: PC 99-09 Foxfield II- Final Plat and Plan Barry Niles petitioner explained that this is 7 lots at the end of Teri Lane with the smallest one being 14,500 square feet. They will do a cul de sac rather than a T at the end of Teri Lane. Attorney Kramer stated that the Final Plat conforms to the Preliminary Plan. Mr. Wenman motioned and Mr. Jones seconded to approve the Final Plat. On a roll call vote all members present voting aye. Motion carried. PC 2000-01 Prairie Garden - Final Plat & Plan Mr. Wywrot stated there are no substantia objections, but thought Mr. Schoppe who is not here tonight may want another road into the development. Mr. Niles, the petitioner stated he strongly opposes any other road in as he felt it would kill the project. Mr. Schellhammer of Parfection Park's attorney has a copy of the Greenbriar Agreement at there is no time limit on the additional road proposed for lot 165 Greenbriar, so no additional north street should be needed. Attorney Kramer stated there is a substantia amount of property behind the Lee property and his where there is also room to build another road out to route#47. Mr. Jones asked about the golf ball issue. Mr. Niles stated that the Park Board had said that if the golf balls are a big potential problem maybe he shouldn't divide the planting,but put it all on one side as a buffer to Parfection. Mr. Wywrot stated that they would look to Schoppe for clarification on landscaping required for R- 3 and B-3, but as this will be a PUD it will be spelled out, and Schoppe has submitted his review. In regard to open space he will have to show it. As of now it is all cash fro land cash, unless the Park Board resolves this issue. There are two issues. The issue of land-cash and the street issue. The street issue is that the 66 foot should be 80 feet. The narrower right-of-way means that more be added to the set-back requirement. J.T. stated he is not comfortable with the water connection at Greenbriar, and asked if a meeting had been arranged. Attorney Kramer stated there was consent from the Greenbriar owner who is waiting for engineering from Mr. Niles. Leonard Dreas is the engineering company and Niles is waiting for them to get it done, but intends to get it done. Mr. Mizel stated that according to Wywrot's memo the set-back should be 17 feet. Mr. Langland asked about storm water run off from Greenbriar. Chairman Lindblom stated he was very uncomfortable with the late arrival of paperwork, and the scheduling. Attorney Kramer stated that this would be a development for residents who are 55 years and older only. This restriction has a 25 year window so for schools and everyone it will remain that way. Ms. Adams stated she liked the 80 feet at the entrance because it is an entrance. Mr. Besco stated especially since it is the only way in. Mr. Niles stated he felt the easement could be less because the sewer would not run in the POW. s stated he would clean some out, but leave some as it is adjacent to the path. Mr. Baker stated this is Greenbriar's conservation easement. Met. Landland asked about the trees on the west lot line. Mr. Nile stated there is a strip of Osage Orange with some Elm& Maples trees. He said he would leave the trees, but will clean it up as it is adjacent to their path. Mr. Baker stated that Greenbriar has a 20 foot conservation easement. Mr. Langland stated this is a conservation area and accordingly, he should replace any tree he removes with another one even if it is a dead tree he cuts down.
