PETITION
Petition 22-27 Deb Howard on Behalf of Jade Restorations, Inc. (Current Owner) and Bullmastiff Construction Company LTD. (Contractor)
Mr. Asselmeier summarized the request.
On February 18, 2020, the County Board approved Ordinance 2020-01, granting a special use permit for a kennel and veterinary at the northeast corner of Ridge Road and Bell Road, now addressed as 949 Bell Road, Minooka.
During the summer of 2022, the Planning, Building and Zoning Department received complaints regarding lights at the subject property. Upon investigation, Staff discovered that the site had not been developed in accordance with the site plan, landscaping plan, and photometric plan attached to the special use permit ordinance. The property owner agreed to amend the special use permit to have the site plan, landscaping plan, and photometric plan to match the current conditions.
Member Wilson arrived at this time (7:03 p.m.).
The specific amendments are as follows (items in red are Staff comments):
1. Fence limits on the west side of the building are different with a larger outdoor area enclosed and extended further south. The installed fence height is eight feet (8’), not six feet (6’) as described in the associated exhibits attached to Ordinance 2020-01. The fence was a cedar fence in the approved plans; the installed fence was vinyl.
2. Westerly septic field is enclosed within the expanded fenced outdoor plan area. Westerly septic tank is installed further north than previously proposed. The southerly septic tank/piping was designed to be on the east side of the main entry, but was installed on the west side of the entry.
3. The Rusty Ridge sign at the southwest corner of the site is located within the Kendall County right-of way. This will be relocated as part of the major amendment to the originally proposed location at a ten foot (10’) setback from the right-of-way along the middle of the property west of the proposed location. No information was provided regarding the other sign. The approved plans had one (1) monument sign along Bell Road and one (1) monument sign along Ridge Road. Both signs were to be four feet by eight feet (4’X8’) and a maximum of eight feet (8’) in height. Neither sign will be illuminated.
4. Sidewalk has been added around the building that was not part of the original plans. There is a gravel driveway/PCC walk along the north side of the building for equestrian trailer access. Additional parking was added in the northeast corner of the building. Number of parking stalls increased from fifty-two (52) to sixty-five (65). The number of handicapped accessible parking spaces remains at three (3).
5. The east side walkway/covered entrance/building was eliminated and the walk is shown coming out of the south side of the building.
6. A five thousand (5,000) gallon external tank was previously proposed next to the well for fire protection. This was not constructed. Tank was installed in basement of building per discussions with the Minooka Fire Department.
7. An additional wall pack was added along the west wall of the building as the play area was enlarged/moved from the northeast corner of building. As built-photometric plan was unchanged and light intensities at west property line are still zero point zero (0.0) foot candles. Change in location of lights. Number of pole lights to remain the same. Height of pole lights to remain the same.
8. The concrete pad for trash enclosure is installed but no walls have been constructed. Concrete pad relocated further north to allow equestrian trailer access along the north side of the building from the parking lot. Petitioner still plans to install the seven foot (7’) tall masonry or wood fencing around the refuse area.
9. Well head installed further north of design location.
10. Outdoor play area was eliminated on the northeast corner of building due to the installation of air handling units. Original plans called for two (2) approximately twelve thousand (12,000) square foot outdoor play areas that were planned on both sides of the kennel wing of the building.
11. A three thousand, one hundred (3,100) gallon holding tank was eliminated that was previously proposed for therapy pool/dog wash. Therapy pool was eliminated from building.
12. Per Seward Township Board meeting of December 13, 2022, Owner and Township Agreed that building and parking lot lighting will be turned off at 10:00 p.m. every night and all parking lot lighting and building lighting and building wall packs will be installed with cutoffs or shields.

ZPAC recommended approval of the proposal by a vote of six (6) in favor and zero (0) in opposition with four (4) members absent. The minutes were provided.
The proposed Findings of Fact for the special use permit amendment were as follows:
That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The operation of the special use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The immediately adjacent properties are also zoned A-1 or A-1 with a special use permit. In addition, the site plan shows an eight foot (8’) tall fence around the outdoor play area. The proposed landscaping and berming should also reduce noise coming from the property. The Petitioners are requesting a variance to allow animals to be outdoors until 10:00 p.m. but only for the purposes of dropping-off and picking-up by owners and for necessary bathroom breaks.
That the special use will not be substantially injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The Zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question shall be considered in determining consistency with this standard. The proposed use shall make adequate provisions for appropriate buffers, landscaping, fencing, lighting, building materials, open space and other improvements necessary to insure that the proposed use does not adversely impact adjacent uses and is compatible with the surrounding area and/or the County as a whole. The Petitioners installed fencing and security lighting. The Petitioners submitted a photometric plan showing no lighting spilling onto adjoining properties. The Petitioners agreed to have animals indoors by sunset, except for specific purposes as mentioned in the previous finding. The proposed hours of operation will also prevent injury to neighboring land uses.
That adequate utilities, access roads and points of ingress and egress, drainage, and/or other necessary facilities have been or are being provided. This is true. Adequate ingress and egress has been provided off of Bell Road. The Petitioners have secured applicable permits and installed adequate facilities related to stormwater, well, and septic systems.
That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except as such regulations may in each instance be modified by the County Board pursuant to the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Petitioners are requesting a variance to Section 7:01.D.29 of the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance to allow the animals to be outdoors for specific purposes as outlined in the first finding.
That the special use is consistent with the purpose and objectives of the Land Resource Management Plan and other adopted County or municipal plans and policies. True, the proposed use is consistent with an objective found on Page 9-21 of the Kendall County Land Resource Management Plan which calls for “a strong base of agricultural, commerce and industry that provides a broad range of job opportunities, a healthy tax base, and improved quality of services to County residents.” The Land Resource Management Plan calls for the subject property to be commercial.
The proposed Findings of Fact for the variance were as follows:
That the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical condition of the specific property involved would result in a particular hardship or practical difficulty upon the owner if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out. No topographic condition creates a particular hardship for the Petitioner.
That the conditions upon which the requested variation is based would not be applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification. Other requests for special use permits for kennels could ask for the same variation.
That the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. The current owner was not involved with the drafting of the existing language in the Zoning Ordinance. The current owner cannot control the times for sunset or sunrise.
That the granting of the variation will not materially be detrimental to the public welfare or substantially injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located. The requested variance should not negatively impact any of the neighbors and will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property if the animals are outside for the purposes of pick-up and drop-off or to use the restroom and for no other purposes.
That the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion in the public streets or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. The requested variance will not impair light reaching other properties, cause congestion on any public street, or diminish or impair property values.
Staff recommended approval of the requested variance and amendments to the existing special use permit for a kennel and veterinary establishment subject to the following conditions and restrictions:
1. Condition 2.A of Ordinance 2020-01 is hereby repealed in its entirety and is replaced with the following:
“The site shall be developed substantially in accordance with the submitted site plan, landscaping plan, and photometric plan.”
2. Condition 2.E of Ordinance 2020-01 is hereby repealed in its entirety and is replaced with the following:
“All vegetation and berms shall be installed by June 15, 2023. The Planning, Building and Zoning Committee may extend this deadline upon request of the property owner. Damaged or dead vegetation shall be replaced on a timeframe approved by the Kendall County Planning, Building and Zoning Department.” (Added after ZPAC).
3. Condition 2.G of Ordinance 2020-01 is hereby repealed in its entirety and is replaced with the following:
“All pets shall be indoors between the hours of sunset and sunrise except for the purposes of owners dropping-off and picking-up pets and necessary bathroom breaks until 10:00 p.m. each evening. This provision is a variance to a requirement contained in Section 7:01.D.29 of the Kendall County Zoning Ordinance.”
4. The remaining conditions and restrictions contained in Ordinance 2020-01 shall remain valid and effective.
5. Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions or restrictions could result in the amendment or revocation of the special use permit.
6. If one or more of the above conditions or restrictions is declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining conditions shall remain valid.
7. These major amendments to an existing special use permit and variance shall be treated as covenants running with the land and are binding on the successors, heirs, and assigns as to the same special uses conducted on the property.
Staff is also of the opinion that the requirement that animals in kennels be indoors between the hours of sunset and sunrise should be revisited through the text amendment process and that specific hours not connected to sunrise or sunset be set.
Michael Cook, Engineer for the Petitioner, explained the history of the development of the property. He explained that the play area was moved to comply with Health Department requirements. The height of the fence was increased because the German Shepherds at the property jumped the fence. The fence was changed to vinyl to match the building. The site was altered to allow equestrian trailer access to the rear of the facility. He explained that the request was initiated because of lighting complaints; he explained the changes to the lighting at the property. He noted that both the Seward Township Planning Commission and Seward Township Board approved the lighting changes. The lights are on timers; some of the lights are on motion sensors to ensure that the safety of staff at the property. He explained the need for the variance to allow animals outdoors after sunset; sunset is earlier in the wintertime.
Member Wilson felt that the development was fantastic and felt that the proposed changes were substantially in compliance and necessary in accordance with the original special use permit. She suggested examining the phrase “substantially compliant” in the future. Discussion occurred regarding changing the criteria for major and minor amendments to existing special use permits. Member Nelson concurred with Member Wilson.
Member Rodriguez asked about the brightness of the lights. Mr. Cook said the lights were in compliance with the photometric plan in terms of preventing lighting from spilling onto neighboring properties.
Joan Soltwisch read a statement into the record. She explained the meetings between the Petitioner and the various Seward Township boards. She discussed the lighting issue and said that the lights were not shielded or hooded as agreed to at the Township’s meetings. She explained the interactions that occurred at the property which led to a notice of trespass warning against her.
Member Wormley asked Ms. Soltwisch how the matter could be resolved regarding the lights. She would like the lights shielded to reduce the brightness of lights. The existing lighting regulations in the Zoning Ordinance were reviewed.
Member Nelson asked if the lights were more intrusive than lights at nearby farms; he noted that farmers could install brighter lights without any rules.
Member Wilson asked if any neighbors filed complaints. Mr. Asselmeier responded that the County had not received any direct complaints from neighbors about the lights. However, residents have complained to Seward Township about the lights and the County has received the complaints indirectly through correspondence with Seward Township officials.
Dr. Joe Chow, Veterinary, provided pictures of lights in the area. He explained how he attempted to resolve the lighting issue. He expressed the need for lighting to protect his employees and the medications stored at the property. He noted that many motorists turn around in the parking lot.
Member Rodriguez and Member Nelson noted the safety needs at the property.
It was noted that a nearby barn had brighter lights than the veterinary.
Member Nelson made a motion, seconded by Member Wormley, to recommend approval of the special use permit and variance.
Member Bernacki asked why the sign would be placed on top of the berm. Mr. Asselmeier responded that the sign had to be moved because it was in the right-of-way. Dr. Chow stated that the sign was placed on top of the berm to increase the visibility of the sign due the placement of trees.

He stated that adjoining property owners can add properties to the Area or properties can be removed from the Area within thirty (30) days of the notice running in the newspaper (January 26, 2023). The Agricultural Areas Committee will hold the public hearing on the proposal after the initial thirty (30) day window has expired.
Mr. Asselmeier provided maps showing the locations of the proposed Areas. It was noted that the property identified by parcel number 08-28-400-007 was included in one (1) of the legal descriptions in Petition 23-04 and should not have been included.
Chairman Ashton asked if the acreage had to be contiguous. Mr. Asselmeier responded no.
Member Nelson asked about the impacts to the land. Mr. Asselmeier said that the land would be kept as agricultural for ten (10) years.
Member Nelson asked about impacts on adjacent land. Mr. Asselmeier said the County would be obliged to amended the Future Land Use Map to reflect the Agricultural Areas and examine adjacent land uses to ensure that the no incompatible land uses exists with the Agricultural Area. Agricultural special uses could still be placed on adjoining properties.
Member Hamman asked about the advantages to the landowner to establish an Agricultural Area. Mr. Asselmeier responded that the property owner was declaring that the properties in question would stay agricultural. He also stated that when the State does placements of certain projects, like roadways, the State must note that the Agricultural Area exists and plan accordingly.
Member Nelson asked if the Village of Lisbon would be prevented to developing land at the intersection of Routes 47 and 52. Mr. Asselmeier responded that the Agricultural Area would not prevent a neighboring property owner from rezoning their property.
Member Bernacki left at this time (8:04 p.m.).
Discussion occurred about withdrawing land from an Agricultural Area and the steps for withdrawing land. If an Agricultural Area falls below three hundred fifty (350) acres, the Agricultural Area would be dissolved.
No Agricultural Areas exist in Kendall County; two (2) areas previously existed.
The Villages of Plattville and Lisbon have not yet been notified.
Discussion occurred regarding the composition of the Agricultural Areas Committee.
Marissa Friestad, on behalf of the Petitioners, stated that Petition 23-02 consisted of five hundred sixty-six (566) acres; Petition 23-03 consisted of four hundred thirty-three (433) acres; Petition 23-04 consisted of four hundred seventy-nine (479) acres.
Member Stewart expressed support for the proposal. Members Wormley and Hamman concurred. The proposed Findings as presented by the Petitioners were as follows:
The viability of active farming within the proposed area and in areas adjacent thereto. The area in the proposed Agriculture Conservation Area is actively being farmed. The area consists of highly productive farmland with the ability to produce high yielding crops in an area with strong markets.
The presence of any viable farmlands within the proposed area and adjacent thereto that are not now in active farming.
The areas in the proposed Agriculture Conservation Area are actively being farmed. There is land in the area that is being mined and land that is currently zoned for mining, but currently being farmed.
The nature and extent of land uses other than active farming within the proposed area and adjacent thereto. The acres in the proposed Agriculture Conservation are currently zoned agriculture. Some of the acres are underlaid with limestone consistent with the land in the area zoned mining. Putting land in the conservation area preserves the limestone and allows the County to save this resource for a future time, if needed. The conservation area would not hinder mining operations in any way.
County developmental patterns and needs.
The area of the proposed Agriculture Conservation Area is zoned Agriculture and consistent with the current Lisbon Township Future Land Use Map.
The existence of a conservation plan approved by the local soil and water conservation district. The acres in the proposed Agriculture Conservation Area are not classified as Highly Erodible Land (HEL) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA); as such, they are not required to have a HEL conservation plan. The cropland acreage submitted to included in the proposed Agriculture Conservation Area has been involved in conservation planning, in consultation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) along with the Kendall County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), which has resulted in conservation practices being implemented, which will continue, while in the Agriculture Conservation Area. Conservation practices include NRCS approved grassed waterways and filter strips, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved two (2) state ditch drainage system and farming practices such as crop rotation, minimum tillage, and variable rate technology.
Any other matter which may be relevant.
The Petitioners understand at some point this area will be developed. However, as of now the agricultural use of the land serves many purposes. Farmland is a valuable, nonrenewable natural resource that serves several important economic and environmental functions:
1. Provides food for domestic and foreign consumption.
2. Provides raw materials used to manufacture building materials, paper medicine, oils, fuel additives polymers, resins, and other goods.
3. Absorbs rainwater, helping replenish groundwater supplies and reduce flooding.
4. Provides wildlife habitat.
5. Produces biomass for renewable energy sources such as ethanol.
6. Provides outdoor recreational opportunities.
7. Enhances quality and biological integrity of sensitive natural areas by acting as a buffer between development and natural areas.
8. Provides open space, enhancing the quality of life in developing areas.
9. Provides jobs for farmers and others working in ag-related industries.
10. Serve as a source of local tax revenues, providing economic stability in rural areas.
Member Stewart made a motion, seconded by Member Nelson, to recommend approval of the Agricultural Area.
The votes on were as follows:
Ayes (8): Ashton, Casey, Hamman, Nelson, Rodriguez, Stewart, Wilson, and Wormley Nays (0): None
