NORTH GATE SUBDIVISION:
PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL
LOT 1 FINAL PLAT APPROVAL
In attendance was applicant, property owner and developer, Samuel Diamond of
Diamond, LeSueur and Associates. Mr. Diamond summarized layout of the development
for Council. Mr. Diamond advised North Gate is a 23-acre subdivision. He informed
Council there is a user for Lot 1, but not the balance of the property. Applicant is therefore
requesting preliminary plat approval of the entire site and final plat approval of Lot 1.
Director of Community Development Napolitano stated Applicant has requested the
following variances to the City's Subdivision Control Ordinance:
• A variance of cul-de-sac length.
o The City has a 400' requirement, applicant is proposing 800'.
• A variance as to the required minimum area/lot above highest ground water level.
Due to the topography of the property, the applicant's engineer has indicated it may
be difficult to meet this requirement.
o The Ordinance states 80% of the minimum lot area shall be at least 3 feet
above the highest ground water level, as estimated by soil boring data and
confirmed by the City Engineer. Director Napolitano opined this issue should
be addressed at building permit issuance when the design of the building and
the amount of land impacted is known.
• A variance from the sidewalk requirement;
o Director Napolitano stated the Ordinance requires sidewalks on both sides of
the street. Applicant requests a waiver, due to the property being zoned
commercial. Staff suggested a contribution be made by the Applicant to the
City's sidewalk fund, in an amount equal to the cost of sidewalks.
• A variance allowing the development of Lot 1 on a well and septic system until such
time as sewer and water are extended.
Director Napolitano noted the water and sewer connections are approximately 1,800
to 2,000 feet south of the subject property. The developer has expressed a willingness to
extend the water and sewer lines in the near future but prefers to begin construction of the
banking facility on Lot 1 rather than await engineering plans and construction of the utility
connections. It is Staffs recommendation the applicant should connect to the City's water
and sewer systems prior to any development of Lot 1.
Staff has suggested approval of issuance of a building permit for Lot 1, subject to:
■ review and approval by the City of the sewer and water extensions; and
■ submittal of a Letter of Credit to assure the improvements area completed.
The City would not issue an Occupancy Permit until the City Engineer approves final
engineering for the utility extensions and the Letter of Credit is in hand. Mr. Diamond
L agreed to these conditions.
Director Napolitano additionally noted the City owns property, part of the Petersen
Park purchase, immediately to the west of the subject property. The City's property is
February 4, 2002
Page 6
landlocked with FAP 420 to the south and Village of Johnsburg to the north. The
applicants have agreed to provide a 60-foot access easement to the City's parcel.
Alderman Glab inquired if the Army Corps of Engineers has approved the Final Plat
and opined it appears from the plat North Gate Boulevard cuts through a wetland area.
Jim Condon of Condon Consulting Engineers stated one of the reasons for the Phase I
one-lot subdivision is the extensive timeframe for obtaining permits from the Army Corps of
Engineers. Mr. Condon advised no permits have been obtained. It has been determined,
however, Lot 1 has no impact on the wetlands. Mr. Diamond assured Council as the
project proceeds, application will be made for permits to address any issues affecting the
wetlands
Responding to Alderman Bolger's inquiry, Mr. Diamond advised the well and septic
system would be in operation until the engineering for City utility installation was
completed and approved. In response to Alderman Murgatroyd's inquiry, Director of
Community Development Napolitano stated Council's approval is being sought for the
preliminary plat of North Gate Subdivision.
It was the consensus of Council no action would be taken at this time with regard to
the request for Final Plat approval of Lot 1.
In response to Alderman Bolger's inquiry, Director Napolitano stated the City is
requesting the developer make a cash contribution in lieu of installation of sidewalks. He
stated the Plan Commission recommended streetlights throughout the subdivision. City
ordinance requires street light installation every 150 feet.
Alderman Glab opined in the future he would appreciate a copy of the Annexation
Agreement in the Agenda Supplement to peruse any restrictions addressed in the
Agreement. Alderman Glab expressed concern regarding the timeframe for the sewer and
water connection to Lot 1 and/or any part of the development. City Administrator Lobaito
advised the sewer and water connection was covered under the Letter of Credit, which is
prepared by the City. City Attorney McArdle stated the Letter of Credit is generally
renewable after a 12-month period and this issue would be addressed accordingly.
Alderman Glab opined the design of the development was not the best use of the land.
Director Napolitano noted the Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 6 to 0,
the Preliminary Plat of North Gate Subdivision prepared by Condon Consulting Engineers,
last revised December 10, 2001 be approved subject to:
• Installation of sidewalks throughout the subdivision;
• Installation of street lights throughout the subdivision;
• All issues raised by City Staff and City Engineers, Baxter & Woodman, be resolved
with applicants prior to presentation of the Plat for action before the City Council. --1
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Wimmer, to approve the Preliminary Plat for North
Gate Subdivision subject to the following conditions:
• Variance for sidewalk requirements, with the understanding a cash contribution will
February 4, 2002
Page 7
be made in lieu of installation of sidewalks, as determined by Staff, to be paid at
time of Building Permit issuance;
o A variance as to the required minimum area per lot above highest ground
water level; and that this issue be addressed at building permit issuance
when the design of the building and the amount of land impacted is known.
• Variance for the length of the cul-de-sac from 400 feet to 800 feet, subject to the
comments of the McHenry Township Fire Protection District.

Voting Nay: Glab.

Motion carried.
FINAL PLAT APPROVAL - BOONE CREEK UNIT 5
In attendance was Roger Gerstad, developer and applicant of Boone Creek
Venture. Mr. Gerstad addressed Council requesting approval of the Final Plat of
Subdivision for the final phase of Boone Creek, Unit 5.
Mr. Gerstad stated Phase 5 consists of approximately 35.18 acres with 70 single-
family lots, including outlots containing detention facilities and/or wetlands, which will be
maintained by the homeowners' association. He noted the only .outstanding issue
L concerns altering the name Blue Grass Trail to one word, Bluegrass Trail. The applicant
stated he would comply with Staffs request to alter the street name.
Director of Community Development Napolitano noted Staff is requesting a separate
document be recorded addressing fencing and berming restrictions against the lots along
Dartmoor Drive, as required in the other phases of the Boone Creek Subdivision. He
noted, subject to this condition the Plan Commission recommended approval of the Final
Plat of Boone Creek Unit 5. Mr. Gerstad stated the fencing and berming restrictive
language was included on the face of the Final Plat.
Alderman Glab opined his concern with straight streets, as they tend to encourage
speeding by vehicular traffic through subdivisions. In response to further inquiry, Mr.
Gerstad noted further expansion to the north is not likely as the property due to the
existence of wetlands is not conducive to further expansion to the north. Mr. Gerstad noted
Staff concurs that Wedgewood Trail not be extended to the north. A cash deposit should,
however, be required in lieu of the roadway installation. The Wedgewood Trail right-of-
way would be retained for future development should someone choose to mitigate the
wetlands and develop this property. Alderman Glab suggested Wedgewood Trail not be
paved until necessary and that the street be left curbed. City Administrator Lobaito noted
Staff has recommended the right of way be dedicated to the City and to require a cash
deposit in lieu of the roadway installation.

VACATION OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY ON CHARLES STREET
In attendance was Attorney Michael Torchalski, representing property owner Shirley
L. Strach. Mr. Torchalski addressed Council stating Shawn Strach, on behalf of his
grandmother Shirley Strach, is requesting vacation of Charles Street, south of Illinois
Route 120.
Mr. Torchalski informed Council the Charles Street right-of-way was platted but
never developed as a street. The Plat of Vacation provides for Grants of Easement for a
30-foot easement for sanitary and water main utilities and a 20-foot easement for a
sanitary sewer main on the western most end of Lot 11.
In response to City Attorney McArdle's inquiry, City Administrator Lobaito noted
Charles Street at one time exited to South Street. South Street has been vacated.
Attorney McArdle opined it is his understanding statute requires publication at least fifteen
days prior to formal action by Council. -
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Wimmer, to direct Staff to proceed with publication
of a Notice for Vacation of a Public Right-of-Way, subject to the applicant meeting all
requirements.
