Community Facilities Discussion (Raw Meeting Materials)
Comprehensive Plan Citizen Advisory Committee
Group 1
1.
2005 Study
a.
Well done
b.
Timeline will need to be adjusted based on current growth trends (slowed)
c.
Have needs changed since 2005?
i.
Should capacities proposed be evaluated?
2.
Locations?
a.
Downtown Location (s)
i.
May be more costly, higher land costs
b.
Elgin, IL example
i.
Facilities relocated together, allowed downtown development
3.
Public building can be ‘controlled’ more than private developers
4.
Goal: Facilities (City Hall, Police, Community Center) should be located in the
downtown
a.
Central location for City
b.
Views/River an amenity for users/employees
c.
Location with other mixed uses (offices)
d.
Follow Downtown Vision Plan (2005)
e.
Induces people to come downtown
5.
Share facilities where possible
a.
Examples: Police & Senior Center or Community Center & Senior Center
6.
Outdoor amphitheater
7.
Goal: Funding needs to be determined. Identify funding mechanisms.
8.
Goal: Consider:
a.
Access/Transportation Planning (multi-modal accessibility)
b.
Parking
c.
Events planned for buildings
9.
Busing for seniors to events (voting)
10.
Senior Center
a.
Identify population needs
b.
Ensure affordable to users
Group 2
1.
Sharing Facilities
a.
Cooperation between city and school district
i.
Example: Fieldhouse
ii.
Park and Recreation Dept. does use some school facilities, but the
cooperation hasn’t always been there between the city and the school
district
iii.
Residents pay taxes for both facilities (city and school) – should be able
to jointly use.
b.
Potential for using privately leased facilities for public uses/events
i.
If private facility is not leased/used the business would suffer
ii.
Private facilities would provide better service
iii.
City able to profit from private facilities through tax dollars
iv.
Publicly funding facilities (such as the YMCA pool) would add
additional competition to the private facilities (i.e. Raging Waves) and
could harm business.
v.
Is Raging Waves Water Park allowing its facility to be used by Park and
Recreation for swim classes?
vi.
Let private party lose money during “down time” not city (such as with
an outdoor swim facility/pool)
2.
Exchange of land/buildings between public and private parties
a.
Example – an existing downtown building (privately owned) could be given to
the public sector for a municipal building in exchange for land elsewhere
3.
A Multi-Use Facility is the most desirable (Best)
a.
Better than a seasonal facility, since is used all year long
b.
Financing through private investor donations
c.
Able to be used by all (young and old) Example – Club 47
4.
Financing method – facilities provided by private developers, because of this, the City
should have some flexibility in the location. City should not have to purchase land, and
despite the facility not being in the “best” location, there is no land purchasing cost to the
City, which is the most important.
Group 3
1.
Need a survey of the community residents to see what community facilities were
needed/wanted
2.
Fire and Police protection are absolute necessities
3.
There is a need for a Senior Center, Youth Center and a Civic Center to serve the general
population; however how decide which is more important?
4.
Sharing Facilities
a.
Have facilities which are multifunctional to provide services to different groups
of people
b.
Some community facilities naturally lead to sharing concept
i.
Examples – schools/park and recreation or library/city hall
c.
Sharing facilities also involve a time element in which one group uses the facility
during the day and others use it during the night
5.
Senior Center
a.
Services available should include: serving meals, exercise facilities,
entertainment facilities, general meeting areas, and adult day care.
6.
Swimming pool facilities
a.
Are they desired and/or practical?
b.
May be too expensive and impractical?
c.
Should they be provided by a public entity?
7.
Parks and Recreation
a.
Potential for parks and recreation to be a separate entity (park district)?
i.
Advantages and disadvantages to both set ups
b.
Should be looked into / studied on best setup for Yorkville
8.
Fire Station
a.
Potential to share with police facility?
b.
Fire Station serves a 3 mile diameter and equipment costs are approximately $2
million
c.
Some land development results in land being donated, but it also meant BKFD
having to purchase land from the developer for the station.
Group 4
1.
When will be the conversion from a Fire District to a Fire Department?
a.
Need to start planning for a Department (staff and facilities)
2.
Police Department personnel (number) too low?
a.
Build for larger than 60,000 population
b.
Plan for shifts overlapping
c.
Earmark land now
d.
Build station on North, based on projected growth with a substation to South
e.
Police doesn’t need to be centrally located
i.
Place near major transportation points
f.
Need facilities north and south – Bridge is too limiting
3.
Police NOT in/near residential areas
a.
When people released need to plan how to get them out of area
b.
Will we need our own lock-up facility?
c.
What role will public have in police protection (i.e. gated communities)
4.
Recreational Facilities
a.
Need to be a priority
b.
Need senior facilities
c.
Prioritize recreational facilities?
d.
An aquatic facility is less important than a senior facility
5.
Rob Roy Creek
a.
Preserve Open Space
b.
Need to see green open space
c.
Keep open rural feel
d.
Keep large parcel size
6.
City Hall
a.
Downtown Plan
i.
Bad place for City Hall
ii.
Will break up commercial business
iii.Should be near downtown (maybe east of downtown?)
iv.Parking – City Hall takes away commercial parking spaces
v.With Route 47 running thru will downtown really be a viable
commercial area?

Consensus Building -
Natural Resources and Infrastructure Goals, Objectives and Action Plans
(Raw Meeting Materials)
Comprehensive Plan Citizen Advisory Committee
NATURAL RESOURCES
Goal 1 Objective 1.2 - Concern regarding Water Quality Assessment Program
Fox River Study Group is currently assessing the Fox River Watershed to create a model.
This objective may be a duplicated effort. The Fox River Study Group is within a 7 year
planning/assessment process and is approximately 3 years from completion.
Goal 1 – Concern regarding Yorkville’s jurisdiction, or lack thereof, of the Fox River
Focus goals on banks/erosion due to jurisdictional issues. Water quality issues due to
tributary erosion, Yorkville as a municipality can address. Yorkville can do something
about bank erosion to river, but do not have jurisdiction over Fox River.
Goal 2 – Concern regarding the intention of the goal
What is to be accomplished with this goal? Is this an environmental or building/zoning
issue? The goal should be reworded (vague) or potentially incorporated as part of goal 3.
The discussion was recalled about this goal and it was remembered that the intent of
preserving viewsheds was in regard to the downtown and the topography south of the
Fox River. Specifically, that development plans should take topography into account, to
address this issue, goal 2 should be kept and have two objectives one specific to the
downtown and another to address southern area viewsheds.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Goal 1 Objective 1.2 – Text Amendment
Add recreational facilities and golf courses
Goal 1 Objective 1.3 – Text Amendment
Remove last 3 words
Goal 1 Objective 1.3 – Concern regarding the feasibility of implementation
Action plan will be a challenge to implement due to the necessity of a separate
water/sewer system. Land application was brought up as an alternative and its feasibility
was also challenged. For land application to work, need users, new pumping facilities
and piping to convey the grey water, an entity to ensure long-term responsibility of the
land, and still need storage onsite for the winter season. Action Plan should identify
willing users of grey water for the sanitary district.
Goals 3 & 4 – Concern with the Beecher Road Extension & River Crossing
Staff needs to evaluate the 2003 Transportation Study to ensure the needs are met and to
identify the benefit to taxpayers (if any).
Goal 2 – Additional issues to address
Produce an additional objective to identify large activity generators and produce multi-
modal connections to these facilities, which include public facilities.
