Update on Future Land Use Map Updates on Property Adjacent to Route 47 in Lisbon Township-
Mr. Asselmeier presented the proposed changes to the Future Land Use Map and the reasoning behind the classification of each portion of the parcel. The consensus of the Committee was that the southeast corner of the intersection of Routes 47 and 52 should be classified as Mixed Use Business because the new grain operation at that location is a permitted use in the M-2 District. The consensus of the Committee also was that the commercial area at the intersection of Routes 47 and 52 should be expanded to the west.
Mr. Asselmeier will obtain the name of the creeks in the area.
Discussion of Solar Panel Regulations-
Mr. Asselmeier presented the solar panel regulations for Tazewell County and Kankakee County and the proposed solar panel regulations for Will, Boone, and DeKalb Counties. The consensus of the Committee was that Staff should obtain copies of LaSalle County’s regulations and the solar panel regulations for local municipalities. Any request for a solar panel farm would go through the special use permitting process with the requirement that renewal be sought within one (1) of approval of the special use permit because a solar panel ordinance could not be approved before the tax incentives expired. The Committee asked how the Comed ROW and electrical sub-stations are taxed. Mr. Asselmeier will provide this information at the next meeting.
The consensus of the Committee was to have Mr. Asselmeier draft a proposal based on the similarities of the solar panel regulations presented at that meeting.
Discussion of Scheduling a Future Planning, Building and Zoning Committee Meeting in Boulder Hill-
Chairman Davidson advised the Committee not to hold a meeting in Boulder Hill because the Committee would receive complaints about issues that was beyond the control of the Committee. The consensus was to table having a meeting in Boulder Hill.
Kendall County Regional Planning Commission Annual Meeting-February 3, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.-
Mr. Asselmeier informed the Committee regarding the date and time of the Kendall County Regional Planning Commission’s Annual Meeting.

Mr. Asselmeier summarized the proposal. He noted that the Regional Planning Commission and ZPAC were given sixty (60) days to meet on text amendments involving their powers.
Member Gryder expressed concerns that applicants would have to meet with agencies separately. Mr. Asselmeier stated that ZPAC and the Regional Planning Commission would continue to review subdivisions and the number of meetings would decrease.

Review of Code Hearing Unit Regulations-
Mr. Asselmeier read his memo on the subject and provided proposed changes to the existing Code Hearing Unit regulations. He explained that defendants could still appeal decisions to the court and that staffing costs could increase for the Planning, Building and Zoning Department, State’s Attorney’s Office, and Sherriff’s Department.
The consensus of the Committee was to leave everything the same because of the costs and because violations would not get resolved in a timely manner.
The Committee also reviewed the Inoperable Vehicle Ordinance, the Junk and Debris Ordinance and the Fine Structure. The Committee requested Mr. Asselmeier to check with the State’s Attorney’s Office regarding the definition of inoperable vehicle. The Committee would like vehicles to be road worthy.
Update on Bridge Issue at 13360 McKanna Road, Minooka (Bridge Owned by Mark Antos)-
Mr. Asselmeier stated that the State’s Attorney’s Office prepared a letter to Mr. Antos and Mr. Antos informed Brian Holdiman that his goal was to have the bridge completed by May 1st.
The consensus of the Committee was to ask the State’s Attorney’s Office for an “or else process”. The Committee did not want to delay the completion of the bridge and questioned whether or not a judge’s ruling could expedite Mr. Antos completing the bridge in a timely manner.
Request for Guidance RE: Conditional Use Permits-
Mr. Asselmeier read his memo on the subject. He divided each conditional use into permitted or special use based on potential negative impacts to neighborhoods.
