PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT, ANNEXATION,
PAB PLANNED AREA BUSINESS DISTRICT ZONING, AND PRELIMINARY AND
FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR A COMMERCIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO
BE KNOWN AS SAMS ELGIN SUBDIVISION; PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1000
SOUTH RANDALL ROAD, BY ATWELL-HICKS, L.L.C., AS APPLICANT, AND
BOWES ROAD, L.L.C., AS OWNER (PETITION 59-05)
Mayor Schock declared the public hearing open. Assistant Community Development Director
Pruss stated that a planned development to be known as Sams Elgin Subdivision is proposed at
the southwest intersection of Randall Road and Bowes Road. It includes 11 lots which will be
developed with retail and commercial uses. The development also includes significant upgrades
to the Bowes Road/Randall Road intersection. The Planning and Development Commission
recommended approval.
Representatives on behalf of Wal-Mart described the location of the buildings on the site and the
components of the proposed Super Center. The anchor tenants in the subdivision will be Sam’s
Club/Sam’s Gas Station Convenience Store and a Super Wal-Mart. The new Wal-Mart, which
will replace the existing store at Randall and Royal, will include a full grocery section. They
described the extensive intersection improvements at Randall and Bowes required by Kane
County, estimated to cost approximately $4.5 million, to be constructed by the developer.
They have met with the residents of the neighboring Columbine Subdivision regarding their
concerns. The developer has agreed to construct an extensive berm with landscaping, and they
have the addressed the issue regarding pedestrian access.
Discussion was held regarding anticipated uses of the outlots at the proposed developed and what
business may go in the current Wal-Mart store at Randall and Royal, which the new Super
Center will replace.
Councilmember Sandor stated that he believes Elgin has enough discount retail and needs the
sort of high-end shopping available north and south on Randall in Algonquin and Geneva. He
also questioned whether the sales tax revenue received from the new development would be
VOLUME LXXI JANUARY 25, 2006
21
substantially more than what is generated by the current Wal-Mart Store. He stated that he
believes Elgin deserves better, and this is one of the last remaining large parcels on Randall Road
in Elgin.
Councilmember Figueroa asked the applicant to describe the benefit to Elgin of the new Wal-
Mart and was told that the sales tax revenue will increase substantially, they are planning to add
merchandise to address Elgin customers, and it is anticipated that approximately 400 new jobs
will be created between the larger Wal-Mart and the addition of Sam’s Club.
Councilmember Kaptain expressed concern about the impact the new stores would have on other
city retailers, including the Meijer store located nearby. He doesn’t think he can support this
petition. Wal-Mart representatives responded that many retailers prefer being located around
Wal-Mart and Meijer because they attract a large number of customers. At Councilmember
Rodgers’ prompting, the Wal-Mart representative stated that many Elgin residents shop at Sam’s
Club in other communities, which means that Elgin is losing that sales tax revenue.
Councilmember Walters asked whether the Council is the “Meijer’s protection club,” and he
questioned whether a high-end retainer such as Nordstrom’s would locate on this site.
Mayor Schock stated that he did not understand councilmembers’ criticism of the proposed Wal-
Mart development in that they are exceeding standards. Elgin is a diverse community, and
everyone needs a place to shop. One of the Council’s highest priorities is increasing the City’s
sales tax, and it is projected that business will triple at this development. The County is
requiring excessive road improvements for this development, and this is probably the only
company that can afford to spend $4.5 million for road improvements.
Mathew Moody, attorney for the Willow Bay Condo Association, which is located at the
southwest corner of Bowes and Randall, stated that residents are concerned about Kane County’s
requirement that will put Randall Road six feet closer to the condominium buildings. The
association recently incurred damage when a vehicle from Randall Road came through the fence
and struck one of the buildings. A resident of the Willow Bay Townhomes also expressed
concern about their safety regarding the proximity of Randall Road to their homes because
children play in the yards all year round, and they have already experienced the incident of a
vehicle from Randall Road going through their subdivision fence. Mayor Schock responded that
he had brought their concerns to Kane County; however, they remain firm in their requirements
regarding widening Randall Road. A Wal-Mart representative stated that they will install a
guardrail, which they believe is the best deterrent to avoid a similar incident.
Don Rage complimented Elgin regarding the proposal to bring a Super Wal-Mart and Sam’s
Club to Elgin. The average daily traffic on Randall Road is very heavy. As a former member of
the Kane County Board, he knows the County doesn’t have funds for the $4.5 million road
upgrade and improvements at the subject intersection.
No one else chose to speak, and Mayor Schock declared the public hearing closed.

Mayor Schock declared the public hearing open. Assistant Community Development Director
Pruss stated the applicant is requesting approval for a residential/commercial planned
development located on a 112-acre parcel on the north side of Route 20 at the intersection with
Nesler Road. The subdivision will be known as Trinity Chase and will feature nine acres of land
zoned for commercial development along US Route 20, 146 detached single family home sites,
and 68 attached single family townhome units on 47 net residential acres and 37 acres of open
space.
Rick Zirk, on behalf of Grand Point Homes, described the site which Sandy Creek runs through,
and some of the features of the proposed development including the manor homes which were
VOLUME LXXI JANUARY 25, 2006
23
specifically designed to get away from front-loaded garages. He stated that there is desire for
commercial development on this corridor. No departures from the Far West Area design
guidelines are being requested. The average sales price is expected to be $400,000. Mr. Zirk said
that the biggest issue is with reference to improvements and signalization of the US Route
20/Nesler Road intersection, which they are still trying to work out with the Illinois Department
of Transportation.
Councilmember Sandor stated that he is pleased about the fact that a commercial component is
included, and he will vote in favor of this petition. Councilmember Kaptain stated that he
believes it is important that something be put in place providing for monitoring and maintenance
of the wetlands open space area.
No one else chose to speak, and Mayor Schock declared the public hearing closed.

CORPORATION, AS APPLICANT, AND SCHOCKS, INC., AS OWNER
Assistant Community Director Pruss stated that the petitioner is proposing to construct two
buildings for independent senior living, one of which will have rental units and the other one will
be owner occupied. The rental units would be restricted to seniors age 62 and older and will
include 10,000 square feet of community space in addition to the apartments. The condominium
building would be age restricted to those people age 55 and older.
Peter Bazos, attorney for the applicant, stated that the applicant has agreed to increase the
amount of masonry on each building elevation from 25% to approximately 75%, and has
surpassed the requirements for normal infill development. Mr. Bazos stated they believed that a
fiscal impact study was not required for infill projects. If required to do so, they will do it but
hope it won’t be required for this project or any future infill projects which obviously will have a
positive fiscal impact, because there will be no school children, property taxes will increase, and
the development will inhabited by mature shoppers, which will produce additional sales tax
revenue. Councilmember Sandor stated that every project that has come before the Council
since they began requiring a fiscal impact study has had a fiscal impact study.
Councilmember Sandor made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Figueroa, to table Petition
71-05 subject to the receipt of a fiscal impact study. Upon a roll call vote: Yeas:
