PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRQSTEES

Planner Waldock spoke in reference to County Case. Applicant -
Gary and Suzanne Yunker. Location - one-half mile east of Route
59 on the south side of 127th Street. Request - Will County
rezoning from A-1 Agricultural to E-1 Estate zoning. The subject
site is five (5) acres in area. The site is used agriculturally
and has a new agricultural building existing at this time. The
applicants propose to construct a new single-family residence on
the property. Since ten (10) acres is the minimum lot area for
the A-1 District, Will County is requiring a zoning change as a
pre-condition to a building permit. Plan Commission recommends
approval of Will County Rezoning request for Gary and Suzanne
Yunker to establish E-1, Estate zoning on a site now zoned A-1,
Agricultural with the following stipulation: 1) Submission of a
Petition for Annexation to the Village of Plainfield. The Yunkers
have submitted that petition. Mayor Latta questioned that they
have not provided easements across the front for future utility
extensions. Attorney Harvey stated to make things enforceable, we
should have an annexation agreement and the easements could be
included in the agreement. Also, when they become contiguous, they
would be obligated to annex. Planner Waldock stated an annexation
agreement was discussed with the Plan Commission versus an
annexation petition, but the applicants expressed concern because
it seemed complicated. They did agree to the petition because of
the simplicity of the petition. Mayor Latta stated her concerns
of a petition because it can be withdrawn at any time. Kevin Reger
spoke representing the Yunkers. He stated the annexation agreement
seemed very cumbersome for someone such as the Yunkers and that it
would pertain to someone with acreage to develop a subdivision.
After expressing our concerns to the Plan Commission, they agreed
the petition would be acceptable. We were unaware this petition
could be withdrawn. D. Gullicksen stated we are going to want an
annexation agreement because we can't have things going on (in the
outline areas) without agreements because they won't come in
(annex) later on. Mr. Reger expressed his unhappiness for the way
this matter was handled. They do request a vote be taken.
Attorney Harvey stated this is the first time the Village Board
has formally seen this (case). There is nothing cumbersome about
our annexation agreement. It simply would bind the owner to do
exactly what they have represented to do before the Plan
Commission. That is, if the Village becomes contiguous, they would
annex and allow utility easements across the front of the property.
Planner Waldock stated the Plan Commission did talk at some length
about annexation agreements, not petitions. Staff did give the
applicant a sample annexation agreement. We did not talk about
straight petitions. The petitioners and their representative
requested to be allowed to discuss, in the hall, the Village's
request for easements on the front of their property. There
request was granted and they will return later in the meeting.
