The United City of Yorkville and Kendall Township expressed no objections to the requests.

Member Koukol asked if Kendall Township had any comments. Dan Kramer, Attorney for the Petitioner, stated that the Township asked why the map amendment was necessary instead of a special use permit. Mr. Kramer stated the proposed uses were not allowed in the A-1 District and, therefore, the map amendment was necessary.

Mr. Kramer was in favor of reclassifying the neighboring properties to Mixed Use Business.
