PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO AN ANNEXATION
AGREEMENT, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCES, AND PRELIMINARY
PLAT TO COMBINE THE RLF PARCEL WITH THE CAPITANI PARCEL AS ONE
COORDINATED PROJECT TO BE KNOWN AS THE PONDS OF STONY CREEK
SUBDIVISION; PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3801 MCDONALD ROAD; BY THE
RYLAND GROUP, INC., AS APPLICANT, AND JOELLYN CAPITANI AND DINO
CAPITANI (CAPITANI PARCEL) AND THE RESIDENTIAL LAND FUND I, L.P. (RLF
PARCEL), AS OWNERS (PETITION 42-06)
Mayor Schock declared the public hearing open.
Community Development Director Deering stated that the amendment to the annexation
agreement would add 49 acres to the northeast corner of the original parcel for a total of 278
acres. The Planning and Development Commission recommended approval of this amendment
and their recommendation is subject to the conditions outlined in the memo the Council received.
Attorney Bud Heimberg representing the applicants for the above mentioned project stated that
the approval of Petition 42-06 amends the annexation agreement and allows for some significant
improvements to the original development. He introduced Matt Pagoria from the Ryland Group,
Inc. to give a brief overview of the project.
Matt Pagoria from the Ryland Group, Inc. made a presentation touching on some of the proposed
changes that would be implemented with the addition of the 49 acre parcel which included: the
addition of two park sites with an open space corridor connecting the sites, developing a bike
path in the open space corridor, and plans for a 2 acre private clubhouse. Mr. Pagoria stated that
by adding this parcel a sanitary lift station would be eliminated from the project and it would
also increase the separation between access points on McDonald Road from 630 feet to 1,280
feet. Mr. Pagoria also believes that although there are significant changes to the original plan
Ryland Group, Inc. is still maintaining the buffer with the adjacent residential subdivision,
conserving the existing natural features, and maintaining the quality and pricing of the single
family homes offered by the development.
Patsy Smith stated she is a resident of St. Charles and that the Ryland Group’s presentation did
not cover a few points that will have a negative impact on the surrounding area. She stated that
the addition of homes from this development will increase traffic on McDonald Road which
threatens to make an already dangerous road even more so and it increases the pollution in the
area due to the added vehicles. She asked the Council to address the safety issues on McDonald
Road by implementing impact fees that could be set aside to add a left turn lane in the future.
She also believes that the additional children that will be attending the areas schools will have a
significant negative impact on the school district. In addition, Ms. Smith stated that the 15 foot
buffer between this development and Campton Township’s open space is not adequate and she
OCTOBER 11, 2006 VOLUME LXXI
844
would like the Council to consider increasing it to 50 feet which she believes would be
reasonable.
Helen Edwards stated she has been attending these meetings for years and is very concerned
about the City of Elgin’s heavy development westward. She believes that this development is
reasonable, but also stated that “we are ruining the best farm country in the world” and would
like to see the growth stop before all of the surrounding natural resources are destroyed.
No one else chose to speak and Mayor Schock declared the public hearing closed.
PETITION 42-06 APPROVED REQUESTING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO AN
ANNEXATION AGREEMENT, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCES, AND
PRELIMINARY PLAT TO COMBINE THE RLF PARCEL WITH THE CAPITANI
PARCEL AS ONE COORDINATED PROJECT TO BE KNOWN AS THE PONDS OF
STONY CREEK SUBDIVISION; PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3801 MCDONALD
ROAD; BY THE RYLAND GROUP, INC., AS APPLICANT, AND JOELLYN CAPITANI
AND DINO CAPITANI (CAPITANI PARCEL) AND THE RESIDENTIAL LAND FUND
I, L.P. (RLF PARCEL), AS OWNERS
Councilmember Sandor made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Figueroa, to approve
Petition 42-06 subject to conditions.
Councilmember Sandor stated that this petition seems to be very reasonable and he is pleased
that the fiscal impact shows that the City will be at a net positive in the year 2012, given that
most developments can take more than 20 years before the City sees any benefit. He also
indicated that he is concerned about the negatives that this development may produce for the
school districts, but he believes there is very little that the City can do to address the problems.
He believes that the State legislature is not doing enough to address the funding issue regarding
schools throughout the state.
Councilmember Kaptain asked Community Development Director Deering to comment
regarding the buffer. Mr. Deering stated that the buffer is the same as the originally approved
project and it was found then to be adequate. Councilmember Kaptain stated that the elimination
of the sanitary lift station is very important and although he still objects to the RLF development
he feels this is a significant improvement on the original project and will be supporting this
amendment.

Walters, and Mayor Schock. Nays: None.

PETITION 78-06 APPROVED REQUESTING A VARIATION OF SECTIONS 203(B),
203(H)(12) AND 203(G)(1) STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY OF ELGIN, TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MULTIPLE TENANT
COMMERCIAL BUILDING; PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1350 EAST CHICAGO
STREET, BY DEARBORN CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT, LTD., AS
APPLICANT AND OWNER
Community Development Director Deering stated the proposed variations the applicant is
seeking in this petition would allow for a higher release rate and water level fluctuations of the
detention basin, and an elimination of a small detention volume of stormwater intended to create
infiltration and evaporation. The variances are being requested in order to construct an
underground precast concrete storm water detention system due to a substantial change in
elevation across the property. Mr. Deering stated that the Planning and Development
Commission recommended approval subject to the conditions outlined in the memo the Council
received.
Councilmember Sandor made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Figueroa, to approve
Petition 78-06 subject to conditions. Upon a roll call vote: Yeas: Councilmembers Figueroa,

PETITION 53-06 APPROVED REQUESTING CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL IN
THE NB NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT AND THE ARC ARTERIAL ROAD
CORRIDOR OVERLAY DISTRICT, TO PERMIT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A
MOTOR VEHICLE SERVICE STATION AND A 24 HOUR CONVENIENCE STORE;
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 300 SOUTH STATE STREET BY M CUBE PETRO FOUR
INC., AS APPLICANT, AND PARKWAY BANK AND TRUST COMPANY TRUST NO.
13604, AS OWNER
Community Development Director Deering stated the subject property is located on the
southwest corner of the intersection of Route 31 and Walnut at 300 South State Street and has
not been a tax paying property since 1993. The applicant is proposing to establish a motor
vehicle service station and a 24-hour convenience food store. The applicant is proposing to
remodel the interior and exterior of the existing building. The exterior of the building will be
improved with masonry materials, and the site will be entirely reconstructed and landscaped.
Mr. Deering stated that the Planning and Development Commission recommended denial of
Petition 53-06.
Councilmember Sandor stated that he believes this is a positive improvement on a property that
has not been generating any tax dollars for the City and which has been seen as a blight to the
surrounding neighborhood for several years.
Councilmember Kaptain stated that he believes that the Zoning and Subdivision Hearing Board
identified what could be a significant traffic problem caused by the access points from the
property to South State Street and he sees this as a high impact site and believes that the site
could be put to better use with a different business that would generate less traffic.
VOLUME LXXI OCTOBER 11, 2006
847
Councilmember Sandor responded to Councilmember Kaptain’s comments stating that it was
previously a service station and that other businesses wouldn’t benefit the city any more than
what is being proposed. He believes that if they were to leave the property vacant it wouldn’t
generate the additional income from taxes and it would continue as a blighted property within the
Elgin community which would not benefit the City.
Mayor Schock stated that he believed this was a worthy project and was happy to see that a
vacant and blighted property could be turned into something functional and useful for the
community.
Councilmember Sandor made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Figueroa, to approve
Petition 53-06 subject to conditions. Upon a roll call vote: Yeas: Councilmembers Figueroa,
Gilliam, Kaptain, Rodgers, Sandor, Walters, and Mayor Schock. Nays: None.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN AUTO BODY SHOP; PROPERTY LOCATED AT 830
VILLA STREET, BY ELIAS JARAMILLO, AS APPLICANT AND OWNER
Community Development Director Deering stated that the property is located at 830 Villa Street.
The applicant is proposing to redevelop the site by demolishing the existing single family
residence and motor vehicle body shop, and constructing a 5,204 square foot motor vehicle body
shop containing an office and waiting area, service bays, and a paint booth. The proposed
exterior building materials are brick masonry with a cast stone and concrete block foundation.
Additional landscaping is also proposed for the site. The proposed site improvements require
planned development approval due to the site being located in an ARC Arterial Road Corridor
Overlay District. Mr. Deering stated that the Planning and Development Commission
recommended approval subject to the conditions outlined in the memo the Council received.
Councilmember Figueroa made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Gilliam, to approve
Petition 72-06 subject to conditions. Upon a roll call vote: Yeas: Councilmembers Figueroa,

ANNOUNCEMENTS

RECOGNIZE PERSONS PRESENT
Margaret Miller stated that she has been spending a significant portion of time in Carpentersville
and commended the trustees in Carpentersville for taking an active role in pursuing illegal
immigration legislation in their community. She raised several questions listed below:
¾ Is Elgin prepared for a mass exodus of illegal immigrants from
Carpentersville to Elgin?
¾ Will Elgin’s community services be spread thinner than they already are if
Carpentersville’s ordinance passes?
¾ Will Elgin need additional police officers?
VOLUME LXXI OCTOBER 11, 2006
873
¾ Who is going to absorb unpaid ambulance bills that Carpentersville is
currently writing off in large amounts?
¾ Will taxes be raised to compensate?
Ms. Miller stated she hopes that Elgin has some sort of plan if the ordinance passes in
Carpentersville and believes that Elgin should look into passing something similar here.
Louis Rohling stated that he doesn’t believe that the old library site along the river should be torn
down and developed. Instead he believes that the current building should be given to Public
Action to Deliver Shelter (PADS). He stated that this property was paid for by the citizens of
Elgin and it is unthinkable that it will be torn down to develop into a 16-story residential
property.
William Slocum stated he attended a previous meeting four months ago and he refuses to let the
City forget about his concern regarding parking on both sides of the street. He previously talked
about a young 3-year old girl who was struck by a car after coming out from between two parked
cars. He questioned if this was to be the fate of other children and how the City and it’s many
residents could allow this to continue. He would like to someday have children and he worries
about the overcrowded parking on his street and the possibility of another child being hurt. He
believes it is the City’s responsibility to make sure that another tragedy doesn’t occur.
Judy Robnett stated that she would like the Council to recognize the German settlers that came to
Elgin. She listed the accomplishments of her family, which is of German descent, and she urged
equal and fair treatment for all of Elgin’s early immigrant settlers.
Ina Dews stated that she was very perturbed after the last City Council meeting and still doesn’t
like that the “Recognize Persons Present” portion was put at the end of the Council agenda. She
wondered how many “business people” would be supporting and voting for the current
Councilmembers running for election like the “little people” have done in the past.
