PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ANNEXATION TO THE
CITY OF ELGIN, R-4 GENERAL RESIDENCE DISTRICT
SPECIAL USE FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT,
AND PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL FOR A RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT TO BE KNOWN AS SPRING OAKS,PROPERTY
LOCATED ON BIG TIMBER ROAD BY LEO GOLDSCHMIDT
Jerry Deering: This Petition concerns approximately 3� acres
of land located on the North side of Big Timber Road, just
West of Janson Farm Drive. The proposed residential project
features 18 attached and detached single family homes.
I have just passed out to you the proposed annexation agreement .
You did received Exhibit D which is a letter from the Planning
Department to Mr. Goldschmidt summarizing 17 recommended revisions
to the annexation agreement , recommended by the staff. The
overwhelming majority of these items have been resolved, I
believe to both the satisfaction of the staff and to the develoer,
with two remaining items, and I wanted to point those out
to you.
i
VOLUME L 720
Those concern when school site contribution will be paid and
when the Tyler Creek Detention contribution should be made.
The staff is recommending that the payments be made prior
to the issuance of a building permit , Mr. Goldschmidt is requesting
that should he opt to phase the project that he could pay
it in two separate equal installments prior to initiating
each phase.
Those are the only remaining differences remaining between
the staff and the developer concerning the annexation agreement .
I wanted to point out that the Land Use Committee has recommended
approval of the annexation, the zoning, and the preliminary
plan, subject to the 8 conditions for the planned unit development
that are outlined in the Findings of Fact that are attached
as Exhibit E in your material.
There is only one major item concerning the preliminary plan
where there is a difference between staff and the developer
and this is from the Engineering Division. Engineering is
recommending that the V-type roll-over curb be installed at
the perimeter of the private road.
Mr. Goldschmidt : We are proposing that we do the same thing
that we did in Tyler Bluff, which is a 24 foot wide street ,
without curbs. The staff is recommending 26 feet back to
back with curbs.
Jerry Deering: What Engineering is concerned about in its
recommendation with the curb is a case that happened several
years ago with Parkwood Village where originally it was a
private street without curb and later the homeowners association
came back to the City Council and requested that the City
own and maintain it and Mr. Miller advises me that is a condition
of the City owning and maintaining it , they then had to put
the curb in, and I guess Gary is anticipating that possibility
and is recommending to you that it be included as a requirement
for this project .
Mayor. Verbic: Have you addressed the sewer problem.
Jerry Deering: Mr. Goldschmidt is negotiating with the Sanitary
District , they are largely going to have the say as to how
it is being done, and we are just kind of a third party, obviously
we have some imput , but it is an intercepter so they will
be involved. Mr. Goldschmidt can probably tell you where
their negotiations are with the District .
721 VOLUME L
Mr. Goldschmidt: I would like to introduce my associate,
Mike Butkin. We met with the Sanitary District this morning
and I would like Mike to explain the options that are available
and where we stand in the discussions.
Mike Butkin: The meeting with the Sanitary District this
morning it was decided that the Trustees are not going to
make any decision on installing a 16 ' intercepter sewer until
they know what the cost of installing it is. They would not
make any commitments to us on what our participation in the
installation cost would be and they are going to proceed with
some minor changes to the engineering and submit the construction
for bids. When those bids come in they are going to make a
decision.
They would like the City of Elgin to make some contribution
to the construction of that 16 ' line. The 16 ' line ends at
Lyle Avenue, and then it would have to be extended 1350 feet
to the Spring Oaks property. The problem is that our project
is not large enough to bear the entire cost of that and we
would like to hook into the City' s 8 ' line, but recognize
that you have to work with the Sanitary District . However,
if they can't make a decision in the near future we will probably
ask the Council to consider our hooking into the 8 ' line,
which is on the South side of Big Timber and actually much
closer to the Spring Oaks property, and would be a lower cost
for us.
Jerry Deering: Just as a point of clarification the Mayor
was alluding to this earlier with regard to the public hearing
transcript . There were three options that were originally
identified. One was to extend the existing 16 ' intercepter
at Lyle, along Big Timber to the subject property, that is
the preferred option by both engineering and the Sanitary
District . The other option was to connect into an existing
8' inch that services the Big Timber Industrial Park, that
is just to the South side of Big Timber Road. The third option
was to have them construct a 16 ' for their frontage, so that
would be in place so in the future it could tie into the one
to the East , but don't extend it all the way to the East to
Lyle, simply connect the 16 ' in front of their property into
that existing 81 .
The District is of the opinion, and I believe Engineering
now agrees that the correct way to do it is to simply extend
the 16 ' intercepter and get it taken care of now.
Mr. Goldschmidt : I tried to get some costs on the various
alternatives, the lease expensive to us would be to connect
to the City' s 8' sewer and just continue with an 8' sewer.
The second least expensive alternative is to connect to the
i
VOLUME L 722
8—sewer, but put in place a section of 16 ' sewer which later
could be connected all the way to Lyle Avenue. The most expensive
for us at this time would be to extend the 16 ' intercepter
sewer to our western property line. The estimates that I
have made and I have talked with a number of contractors range
from $22 , 000 for our cheapest alternative to $120, 000 for
the most expensive alternative. We have proposed one compromise
that we contribute $35 , 000 to the 16 ' sewer and somebody else
pay the difference.
Mike Butkin: We are proposing a high quality project , housing
and price range of $110, 000 to $140,000, which we think will
be of benefit to the City.
Mr. Goldschmidt proceeded to review the site plan for the
project with the Council.
Councilman Van De Voorde: Three points I would like to make,
this is a planned unit development and the developer is gaining
some benefits from the City, but I hope they understand from
our previous discussion tonight in the Committee of the Whole
Meeting, that they will not be getting garbage pickup as a
part of the City' s arrangement . I would also like to encourage,
if we can, the development of the 16 ' sewer because it seems
that as we grow in a westerly fashion that is the proper way
to do it , and I would like to ask Mr. Goldschmidt if you are
going to control parking on the streets out there.
Mr. Goldschmidt : At the request of the staff you will post
no parking signs.
Councilwoman Shales: I would move for approval of the requested
action, which is annexation, zoning and preliminary plan approval.
Counsel Jentsch: All you have to do at this point is close
the Public Hearing. I think it would be premature to approve
the contract because it is left to iron out the sewer questions
and contributions.
Councilwoman Shales: I will move to close the Public Hearing.
Councilwoman Moylan: Second.
Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam, Moylan, Shales, Van De
Voorde, Waters and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.
PETITION 38-85 REQUESTING A B-3 SERVICE
BUSINESS DISTRICT SPECIAL USE FOR AN OPEN
SALES LOT, PROPERTY LOCATED AT 307 WEST
HIGHLAND AVENUE BY DELMAR MENING - APPROVED
Jerry Deering: This Petition concerns approximately 12 , 000
square feet of land, located at the southwest corner of West
723 VOLUME L
Highland Avenue and Crystal. The subject property is improved
with a 400 square foot commercial structure.
The Land Use Committee recommended the approval of this Petition
by a vote of seven zero, at its regular meeting of August
5, 1985, subject to the six conditions that are outlined in
your material.
Mayor Verbic: In reading over the transcript I feel that
many of the questions which I had were answered and I think
the Land Use Committee did a good job at the time of presentation.
There was one objector at the Land Use Committee hearing,
are there any objectors here this evening.
(No response)
Councilman Van De Voorde made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Andersen to approve Petition 38-85 , subject to the staff' s
recommendations. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen, Gilliam, Moylan,
Shales, Van De Voorde, Waters and Mayor Verbic. Nays: None.
PETITION 42-85 REQUESTING A REZONING FROM
M-1 LIMITED MANUFACTURING DISTRICT TO B-3
SERVICE DISTRICT, PROPERTY LOCATED AT
455 BLUFF CITY BLVD. -- APPROVED
This Petition concerns approximately 8700 feet of land, improved
with a commercial structure. The subject property is located
at the southeast corner of Bluff City Boulevard and Elizabeth
Street .
At its regular meeting of August 5, 1985, the Land Use Committee
recommended the approval of this Petition.
Councilwoman Moylan: Is their parking adequate for a Stop
and Go type of traffic, which will not interfere with the
flow of traffic on Bluff City Boulevard.
Jerry Deering: It is all paved, there are two approaches
that are slightly defined, but I think somebody can go in
anywhere. So it really amounts to one large approach. I
think they have adequate parking for up to 10 or 12 vehicles,
I am not sure if that number conforms to the requirements
of the parking lot ordinance. For a grocery store of this
type you would need one space for every 200 square feet of
gross floor area.
Councilman Andersen: They have been there for about 15 years
now and have been getting along with it , I don 't see any holdup
here.
Councilman Andersen made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Moylan to approve Petition 42-85. Yeas: Councilmen Andersen,
Gilliam Moylan, Shales Van D

Nays: None.
VOLUME L 724
ORDINANCE PASSED AMENDING CHAPTER 11.32
OF THE ELGIN MUNICIPAL CODE, 1976 , TO
REQUIRE THE PARKING OF MOTOR VEHICLES
ON PAVED SURFACES ONLY
Councilwoman Shales: Is this the ordinance that was on the
the books that was inadvertenly left off.
Counsel Jentsch: No, there were two ordinances suggested,
one was to restore the ommission from the zoning ordinance
which required you to provide off-street parking, and we also
suggested that you adopt an ordinance requiring that paved
surfaces actually be used.
The other ordinance will have to go to the Planning and Land
Use Commission.
Bob Malm: That is scheduled for the Planning Committee a
week from Wednesday.
Councilwoman Moylan made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Van De Voorde to pass the aforementioned ordinance. Yeas:
