A_bblicant - Searls Building Components, Inc. Location - Southwest
corner of Renwick Road at Howard Avenue. Request - Annexation and
Final Plat far Renwick Pointe, Unit T. The Preliminary Plat for
Renwick Pointe Estates was approved on May 21, 1990 by the Village
Board of Trustees. This approval was granted subject to the
following stipulations: 1) Oversize the storm detention area to
allow for a reduction in release rates. 2) Comply with Village
Engineer and Plainfield Fire Protection District requirements. 3)
Comply with Park District and School District Ordinances. ~) The
inlets on Howard Street are to be addressed to the requirements of
the Village Engineer. The Preliminary Plat includes sixty-two (G2)
single-family homesites. Access to the site is provided via Howard
Avenue and a newly extended Dan O'Connell Avenue. Cross streets
through the subdivision include Orchard Lane at the north, Rueben
Street through the center, and Feeney along the south border for
the site. The engineering plans have been submitted for the
subdivision as shown in the letter from Engineer Joe Regis dated
January 29, 1992. He indicates the Final Plat is in compliance
with the Preliminary Plat. Final Plat for Unit 1 includes fifty-
three (53) single-family homesites. Streets to be constructed with

this unit include Howard Avenue, Rueben, and Orchard Lane. Storm
water detention areas are provided south of the subject site in the
area that will one day be developed as Unit 2. Easements for
access to this area have been proposed. Such easements will be
required as part of this Final Plat approval. The Plan Commission
recommends approval of the Final Plat for Renwick Pointe, Unit 1
Subdivision subject to the following stipulations: 1) Compliance
with the requirements of the Village Engineer as listed in the
report dated January 29, 1992. 2) Compliance with the Plainfield
Fire Protection District. 3) Provision of easements for storm
sewers and storm detention basins which are located off site
(within Unit 2). 4) Annexation of the subject site. The
stormwater detention for the Final Plat Unit 1 is at the south
portion of the site which would not be annexed as part of this
phase. We have received easement documents to accomplish this
provision. Staff is looking for some direction from the Board to
process this through annexation and draft the ordinances. After
some discussion, it was the consensus that the Plat must be
corrected to show the lots numbered one (1) through fifty-three
(53) instead of being numbered in blocks, the Plat must be
corrected for Village signatures. The correct spelling for Rueben
Street on the Plat, a grant of easement for the property to the
south for the detention pond must be executed and provided to the
Village. This case will be on Agenda for February 20, 1992 if all
stipulations are satisfied.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to the proposed Agricultural
Zoning District. In accordance with recently approved FPA
expansion conditions, Staff is presenting the Draft Ordinance for
the Agricultural Zoning District. This Ordinance has been reviewed
by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and Will County
Land Use Department, and has been determined to be satisfactory to
meet the needs of agricultural preservation concerns which were
generated by Plainfield's FPA expansion requests. The ordinance
has been considered by the Plan Commission during public hearings
held early last year, and the Ordinance is now being presented to
you for consideration and discussion. Key features of this
ordinance include provisions for permitted land uses as follows:
1) General farming activities. 2) Farm Stands for sale only of
produce grown on site. 3) Parks, playgrounds, and forest
preserves. 4) Single-Family detached dwellings. 5) Public and
private utility facilities. Included as accessory uses are barns,
implement sheds, silos, garages, corn cribs, etc. In general, the
accessory buildings necessary to operate a farm. The minimum lot
area for this Zoning District is forty (40) acres. This is seen
as a suitable acreage to provide for future subdivision when
appropriate. The forty (40) acre minimum lot area will also
preserve a significant amount of agricultural land. Thereby

protecting this land from premature development. This is a larger
lot area than even the County. We would be more restrictive than
the County, with the adoption of this Ordinance. Minimum lot
frontage by this Ordinance would be five hundred feet (500').
After some discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that this
Ordinance is to protect and preserve the farming land now existing.
We are attempting to preserve the same uses that those property
owners enjoyed before they annexed to the Village. If they should
want to rezone in the future, they have that opportunity. The
Board removed "raising of fur-bearing animals" from Permitted Uses;
in Section III Assessory Uses #3 Animal Husbandry (add) non-
confinement (uiticulture is growing of grapes).
Administrator Van Vooren spoke in reference to Greenfield Sites
Third Airport. The Municipal League has requested some support
for the Greenfield Sites. After some discussion, there were two
(2) Board Members supporting the air port and three (3) against.
It was the consensus of the Board to do nothing.
J. Dement moved to adopt Resolution 1007 Far Maintenance of Streets
And Highways in the amount of $40, 250 from Motor Fuel Tax Funds for
the period of January 1, 1992 to December 31, 1992. Seconded by
W. Sharp. Vote by roll call. Sharp, yes; Dement, yes; Gullicksen,
yes; Ray, yes; Lambert, yes. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried.
Administrator Van Vooren reported in reference to the January 1992
Budget Reduction By The State Of Illinois. As you are all aware
of, Governor Edgar and the General Assembly have approved
approximately $300,000,000 of budget cuts impacted Plainfield's
Motor Fuel Tax Receipts. As a result of their actions, Plainfield
will lose approximately $2825.00 between February and June of 1992.
This reduction translates into a 3.5$ reduction in our annual
receipts. The Village currently uses these monies to maintain its
roadway system and remove snow. I have attached a more detailed
explanation of this cut, as prepared by the Illinois Municipal
League in its January 22, 1992 Bulletin.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to Van Dyke Road Recapture For
Quail Run Subdivision. We have received a letter from Ed Welch,
attorney for the Quail Run Subdivision Developers. Mr. Welch is
interested in a cost recapture arrangement for Van Dyke
improvements adjoining their subdivision. The developers had
indicated during the subdivision approval process that they were
interested in a recapture program for the costs of the Van Dyke
Road improvements. Van Dyke Road improvements include the full
width roadway, curb, gutter and sidewalks (to be placed along the
east side of Van Dyke). The west side is to be improved with
gravel shoulders and a drainage ditch. The street width is

designed to meet Village standards for collector streets. Staff
does not see a great benefit to the Village in entering into a
recapture program. It is not something that is mandatory. We did
not state during the approval process one way or the other with
regard to recapture. After some discussion, it was the consensus
that we should review the Chaplin Farm agreement and also
investigate benefits to be consistent to the surrounding
properties.

W. Sharp acknowledged receipt of the Expenditures Report dated
January 31, 1992. Administrator Van Vooren reported: Included in
packet is the corrected sheet on State of Illinois Sales Tax. PCA
has formed a Retail Service Committee. They will hold their first
meeting Friday, February 7, 1992 at 7:30 a.m. at the Plainfield
Library. W. Sharp and M. Lambert will attend. Civilian
Police/Fire Ride-Along Program, we talked a little last meeting in
reference to this program. We have already implemented the
termination of the Civilian Ride--Along Program. Attorney Harvey
is reviewing the Illinois Bell Franchise Agreement. We have
received information from IDOT in regard to the Vista Lane project.
Attorney Harvey will review this information. When the State took
half of the communities surcharge, they gave us the opportunity to
levy a long-distant carrier charge. We will look into this
program.
J. Dement reported our Street Department and the Engineers are
looking into the streets and sidewalks. This will be our yearly
report.
Planner Waldock reported: Romeoville has applied to NIPC for an
FPA expansion which adjoins the Village of Plainfield's eastern
border. This boundary line we would share is the I-55 Corridor.
A question has arisen to the interpretation of our plumbing code,
as to the number of water meters needed for stacked apartment
buildings. The Administrative Staff and Water/Sewer Superintendent
has looked at the ordinance and feels the building code plumbing
section does not prohibit the use of one (1) water meter for a

twenty-four (24) unit (Calkins) apartment building. After some
discussion it was the consensus that the Water/Sewer Superintendent
and the Plumbing Inspector will attend the next Workshop on
February 10, 1992, to work this problem out. Plainfield Volunteer
Firefighters Women's Association is requesting permission to place
a temporary sign at Andreason's Travel for their Spaghetti Dinner
on February 7, 1992. The Board approved.
Planner Waldock spoke in reference to a letter from Lakelands
Corporation dated January 28, 1992. They are seeking building
permits for lots thirty (30) and thirty-four (34) in Unit 1 of
Lakelands Subdivision. At present, the subdivision does not have
a completed road base accessing these lots. Both sites are on
Lakeshore Drive which is parallel to Naperville/Plainfield Road.
This is contrary to Building Department Policy which would not
allow building permits until the road base was completed. Do to
the weather, it has been impossible to build the road. Mr. Clark
stated he will have all the roads in as soon as weather permits,
no later than late spring. He stated the off-sa.te sewer is
beginning to make good progress. The sewer should reach Lakelands
by the first of April. The houses cannot be occupied until the
sewer and water is in the subdivision and hooked up to the houses,
we understand that Mayor Latta stated due to the roads not being
installed, if conditions are so bad on the streets when the
inspectors need to make an inspection for safety reasons, someone
from the Lakelands will drive our Inspectors in for their
inspections. Also, we would like a letter from Mr. Clark and a
letter from the buyer, stating they understand the sewer is not to
the lot at this point and no occupancy will be given until the
sewer has been approved.
W. Sharp moved to allow Mr. Clark to be issued building permits on
lots thirty (30) and thirty-four (34) in Lakelands Subdivision
subject to the following stipulations: 1) That at -the time
inspections are required and the road conditions of the road
warrant it, Mr. Clark will drive the Inspectors into the site. 2)
That two (2) letters are received by the Village from the buyer of
lot thirty-four ( 3 4 ) and from Mr . Clark on lot thirty ( 3 0) , stating
they are aware that no occupancy permits will be issued until the
sewer and water has passed Village inspections. Seconded by J.
Dement. Vote by roll call. Sharp, yes; Dement, yes; Gullicksen,
yes; Ray, yes; Lambert removed himself. 4 yes, 0 no. Motion
carried.
