101-06)
Community Development Director Deering stated the applicant is requesting a February 14,
2007, hearing date to make an amendment to the original annexation agreement for the Highland
Woods Subdivision. The applicant is requesting to amend the annexation agreement to add 24
townhome units in an area of the subdivision identified as Neighborhood “I”.
Councilmember Walters made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Figueroa, to set the
hearing date for the first amendment to the annexation agreement for the property commonly
known as 900 Coombs Road for the City Council meeting to be held on February 14, 2007.

PETITION 17-05 APPROVED REQUESTING VARIOUS AMENDMENTS TO THE
TEXT OF TITLE 19, ZONING, AND CHAPTER 6.84, REMOVAL OF MOTOR
VEHICLES, OF THE ELGIN MUNICIPAL CODE, CONCERNING THE
REGULATION AND CONTROL OF MOTOR VEHICLE IMPOUNDMENT YARDS, BY
ARTHUR SPECIALE, AS APPLICANT
Community Development Director Deering stated that the zoning ordinance currently does not
allow the storage of motor vehicles towed from outside the municipality. The applicant is
proposing to amend the text of the zoning ordinance with respect to the regulation and control of
motor vehicle impoundment yards, to permit vehicles towed from outside the municipal
boundaries of the City to be stored within the impoundment yards. The Planning and
Development Commission has recommended approval of the petition.
Councilmember Walters questioned what surfaces would be allowed for the impoundment lots
and would surfaces like compacted gravel, be able to adequately handle the environmental issues
that can result from drainage of various fluids from some of the impounded cars. Mr. Deering
stated that compacted gravel would be allowed as long as it is dustless. Corporation Counsel
Rick Kozal stated that the Environmental Protection Agency issues had been raised and
companies wishing to provide these services must comply with the specific requirements
outlined, otherwise they would not be allowed to participate.
Councilmember Sandor inquired how many of the impoundment lots currently complied with all
of the qualifications necessary, besides the applicant. Mr. Deering replied that two or three lots
currently comply with the requirements. He stated that all impoundment lots are not required to
comply, only those wishing to participate would have to be in full compliance as outlined in the
ordinance. Councilmember Sandor questioned how the City of Elgin planned to monitor the
impoundment lots to ensure that they remained in compliance with the requirements. Mr.
Deering stated that there is currently no plan to systematically monitor the impoundment lots
JANUARY 24, 2007 VOLUME LXXII
37
beyond the initial stage of inspection for approval to participate, however a plan could be
instituted to do so.
Councilmember Figueroa asked if the other impoundment lots within Elgin had been informed of
the new provisions and how long it was estimated before all of the lots were in compliance. Mr.
Deering stated that only the impoundment lots that wish to apply to tow outside of the municipal
boundaries of Elgin, which would allow them to participate in repossessions and private towing,
would be required to comply. Otherwise, the impoundment lots are not required to comply with
the proposed amendment and would continue to operate as they currently do.
Councilmember Figueroa made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Kaptain, to approve
Petition 17-05, to make the various amendments to the text of the Elgin Municipal Code entitled
Title 19, “Zoning”, and Chapter 6.84, “Removal of Motor Vehicles” as outlined in the materials
provided to Council. Upon a roll call vote: Yeas: Councilmembers Figueroa, Gilliam, Kaptain,
Rodgers, Sandor, and Walters. Nays: None.
PETITION 29-06 REQUESTING MASTER CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW; PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 5051 ROUTE 20; BY GRAND POINTE HOMES, AS APPLICANT, AND
ROCHELLE LONG, ET AL., SAMUEL LAUREN, SHAHARA BAIN AND HENRY
PAVILACK, AS OWNERS
Community Development Director Deering stated that no motion is required by Council, but the
applicant is requesting comments and feedback from the Council for the information that was
supplied to them regarding Petition 29-06. Mr. Deering stated the proposed residential
subdivision encompasses approximately 177 acres of land, and portions of the property include a
floodplain and wetland areas. The developer is proposing 178 single-family residences and 96
townhomes for a mixed residential community. The Planning and Development Commission
developed the following comments with respect to the plan:
Councilmember Kaptain stated that this is a unique piece of property that includes important
wetlands and a floodplain. He does not believe that the applicant has adequately addressed the
protection of these natural amenities. He would like to see the applicant consult engineers and
experts to preserve and protect these important habitats. Councilmember Kaptain also stated that
he was bothered by the similarity of the home designs that were presented and would like to see
more creativity applied to the development.
Councilmember Walters stated that he liked the various connecting points that allow access for
the Fire Department and the Elgin Police Department. However, he would like the townhome
portion of the proposed development to be removed. He also agrees with Councilmember
Kaptain that the applicant needs to apply more creativity to the designs involved and protect the
wetlands located on the property. He added that he would like to see permeable pavers added for
storm water run-off.
VOLUME LXXII JANUARY 24, 2007
38
Councilmember Sandor is not a big fan of the concept review process. He agrees with the other
Councilmembers that this is a unique property and does not believe he could approve the Petition
as it has been proposed.
Councilmember Gilliam stated that this seemed like an “average” development and nothing
special.
Rick Zirk, who was representing the applicant, stated that they believe that the development is
consistent with what has previously been approved for other surrounding developments in the
areas. Mr. Zirk pointed out that the surrounding developments that were previously approved do
not comply with some of the points that were raised by the Council in regards to Petition 29-06.
In proposing this petition, the applicants were trying to remain consistent with what the
surrounding developments have started and blend in.
PETITION 30-06 REQUESTING MASTER CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW FOR A
RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION TO BE LOCATED AT THE KNAACK FARM;
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4700 PLANK ROAD; BY GRAND POINTE HOMES, AS
APPLICANT, AND GARY KNAACK AND SHARON THERIAULT, AS OWNERS
Community Development Director Deering stated that no motion is required by Council, but the
applicant is requesting comments and feedback from the Council for the information that was
supplied to them regarding Petition 30-06. Mr. Deering stated the proposed project is planned as
a residential project including a variety of 239 single-family detached housing products.
Portions of the property include a floodplain and wetland areas. The applicant has set aside
75.51 acres of the property which lies primarily in the flood plain to be retained as open space.
Councilmembers stated that their comments regarding Petition 29-06 would be the same for this
Petition. They would like to see: the wetlands and floodplain protected, more creativity applied
to design, etc.
Councilmember Sandor stated that unless it is a unique opportunity he would like the developers
to stop using concept reviews.
Mr. Zirk stated that the properties associated with Petition 29-06 and 30-06 were meant to work
together, but they are stuck between uses. He stated that the plans laid out for these two petitions
is consistent with what the Council laid out as appropriate for the development of the Far West
area. However, these properties make up a sliver that is surrounded by developments that were
allowed not to conform, making it difficult for the applicant to do so at this time.
