New Business
1. PZC 2018-01 Keith and Kathleen Warpinski have filed an application with Kendall County requesting a rezone from A-1 Agricultural District to R-1 Residential District on 6.9 acres to build a single-family home in the future. The real property is located at the north side of Walker Road, approximately 0.31 miles east of IL Route 47 in unincorporated Kendall County.
Mr. Engberg said the petitioners desire to build a home in the future on this property and current Kendall County regulations require 40 acres, thus the request for rezoning from ag to residential. Last year this property was requested to be rezoned for a landscaping business, however, the petition was pulled. The petitioners were made aware that a possible trail could be built on the back of the property near a creek. Staff is OK with this request.
Attorney Kramer said his client is aware of the possible trail and it will be included in a plat of survey. There is also an Amoco pipeline which runs diagonally across the property. Mr. Marcum inquired about the reference to a ComEd planned area along Rt. 47. Mr. Asselmeier replied it is in a future County land use map with no impact on this property.
Action Item
1-1/2 Mile Review (Rezone)
The Commissioners were OK with this request and a roll call vote was taken.
Roll call: Horaz-yes, Marcum-yes, Vinyard-yes, Gockman-yes, Harker-yes.
Vote: 5-0 in favor of rezoning
2. PZC 2018-05 LaSalle National Trust #47016 is seeking a variance from the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance to allow for a temporary concrete crusher and temporary batch plant a minimum of 318 feet from the nearest occupied structure. The real property is located on the north side of US Route 34, east of Diehl Farm Road in unincorporated Kendall County.
Mr. Engberg presented an explanation of the request. Route 34 will be improved and the petitioner hired by IDOT will pull up and recycle the road. The petitioner said he could either do the recycling on the road right-of-way or off-site. They would like to use the Diehl Farm property on the north side of Route 34 for their crusher/recycling operation. Using this site will move the operation farther away from the road and nearby townhomes. The farm buildings there will be demolished later. The petitioner will be asked to observe the City's performance standards and hours of operation. Ms. Horaz asked about dust issues. Mr. Asselmeier said the petitioner will install barriers on the north and south side of the road and will have 2 dust control plans.
Action Item
1-1/2 Mile Review (Variance)
The Commission was OK with this plan and recommended approval on a voice vote. Roll call: Marcum-yes, Vinyard-yes, Gockman-yes, Horaz-yes, Harker-yes. Carried 5-0.
