PC 2000-10: Michael & Tamara Rosenwinkel
request to annex into the United City of Yorkville and re-zone from Kendall County A-1
Agricultural zoning to United City of Yorkville M-1 Limited Manufacturing District
zoning,with B-3 Service Business District uses. The property is located on the southeast
corner of Corneils Road and Beecher Road in unincorporated Kendall County.
Mr. Langland asked if this was to be the entire 144 acre parcel
Attorney Kramer stated it was, and the Rosenwinkels are asking for M-1 with B-3 uses so they
will not be limited to the M-1 zoning on the adjacent Industrial Park. They have no plans for
development at this time.
Mayor Prochaska stated that this is also in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Baker asked about requesting some open green space, as the Rob Roy creek goes through
this property.
Attorney Kramer stated that they are looking into a dedication of land along the creek, but the
Rosenwinkels have currently agreed to all standard terms.
Ms. Lucietto asked why they were not asking for Agricultural zoning since they plan to continue
to farm the land.
Attorney Kramer this is generally not the case, that most annexations in agricultural zoning are
not interested in annexing and staying agricultural zoning because they would have to go through
the City's process again to re-zone at a later time.
Mayor Prochaska reminded the Plan Commission again that this request was in compliance with
the Comprehensive Plan.
Attorney Kramer stated again that this annexation and re-zoning was at the City's request, and
that the Rosenwinkels had told him that they had expected this property would someday be
residential, but then it developed as an Industrial Park.
Ms. Reaves asked if the Rosenwinkels had plans to develop.
Attorney Kramer stated they had no plans at this time, but perhaps in the future if a buyer were to
approach them.
Mr. Schillinger stated since this meets the Comprehensive Plan and was at the City's request and
fills the need of being one parcel closer to annexing Enron he felt these were all good reasons to
approve this petition.

Mr Schillinger motioned and Mr. Baker seconded to approve the annexation of PC 2000-10. On

Mr. Kubala motioned and Mr. Schillinger seconded to approve zoning of PC 2000-10 to M-1

PC 2000-11 Inland Real Estate-
Concept Plan Review for Northgate Development. The property is
located on the northeast corner of Galena Road and Route#47,Yorkville.
Mr. Matt Fiascone, Vice President of Inland stated they had received a letter inviting them to
annex and have met with staff regarding this. Since they also own a small strip of land on the
west side of route #47 this annexation should not present a problem. They have revised their
original plan which met the Comprehensive Plan to conform to commercial which is what the
City staff stated was wanted along route#47. There would be placement of a water storage
tower at the northwest corner of the commercial along route#47. The are requesting B-3 along
route#47 but have no immediate plans for development of the rest of the parcel.
Mr. Baker asked if access to the commercial would be via a frontage road.
Mr. Fiascone stated there are no plans for a frontage road.
Chairman Lindblom asked why this site was selected for a water tower, he felt the very northeast
corner of the entire parcel was higher and a better place away from the commercial for the
placement of the water tower.
Mr. Fiascone stated they were flexible in the water tower location.
Mr. Schillinger asked about the petition as it states the residential as R4.
Mr. Fiascone stated this was an error and would be corrected with a new petition which would be
needed for the public hearing information anyway.
Mayor Prochaska stated this is simply a concept for zoning purposes.
Mr. Fiascone stated they would enter into an agreement for the uses.
Mayor Prochaska stated this is preliminary, with the focus of the issue being to extend the
commercial corridor which the City is currently pursuing to the north as far as route #30.
Chairman Lindblom stated he liked the plan.
Mr. Baker asked for an explanation on the contiguity.
3
Attorney Kramer stated that you can use the Right-of-way, and the Forest Preserve and according
to the State of Illinois 50 feet is a sufficient distance for contiguity, and we have about 47 feet.
The Supreme Court found for someone with 48 feet so he felt sure we were OK with 47 feet
since the only objections have to come from the township or states Attorney and not the general
public.
Mr. Kubala asked about the commercial development.
Mr. Fiascone stated that the commercial piece would be only 300 feet deep and would have two
access points.
Mr. Schillinger stated that IDOT would control access issues anyway.
Chairman Lindblom asked Mr. Fiascone to bring this back next month.
Mr. Fiascone stated he was working with Mayor Prochaska and the City staff.
Mayor Prochaska stated he wanted to work on the including some single family in the residential
portion.
Mr. Fiascone stated they would have a sketch for the next Plan Council.
Mr. Schillinger stated he doesn't object to the R-3.
Mayor Prochaska stated they need some buffer, but felt the entire parcel was too much R-3.
Mr. Kubala stated that all R-3 would not be looked upon favorably.
PC 2000-12 Inland Real Estate-
Plat of Subdivision for a parcel in the Yorkville Business Park on Wheaton Avenue.
Mr. Fiascone stated this is the 2nd unit on the north side of Wheaton Avenue. They have a
contract to sell 4 acres identified as lot 5 to C.J. Insulation already located in Yorkville wishing
to relocate. The park is identified as lot 16. They have also had some interest to extend Wheaton
Avenue. The lift station will be temporary.
Mr. Ed Jonus of Siebert Engineering, Engineers for Inland stated he has made the changes as
requested by Joe Wywrot and all issues will be addressed. There is a large area of wetlands and
they have asked for drainage into the wetlands.
Mr. Fiascone stated it is typical for land dedicated to the City to be R-1 and would require a
buffer, but request they not be required to buffer the park.
Mr. Jonus stated there is already a heavy buffer of trees.
4
Mr. Baker stated that if this will be City property, as a park area, a buffer shouldn't be required.
Mr. Wywrot has indicated there is no buffer required since this is not a residential area.
Chairman Lindblom asked for any further questions.
There were none.
Mr. Kubala motioned and Mr. Jones seconded to approve Final Plat for PC 2000-12 Inland Real
Estates at the Yorkville Business Park on Wheaton Avenue On a roll call vote all members
present voting ave. Motion carried.
