P. Waldock reported on the County Case for Wolfcreek Unit 3.
The subject site is located south of 119th along the east side of
Route 59, south of Wolfcreek Unit 2 Industrial Park, and southwest
of Wolf Creek Subdivision. This case was considered by the Plan
Commission on April 18, 19$9 wherein the Plan Commission recommended
that a legal abjection be filed against the rezoning request. Since
that time developers have amended their request to address the concerns
of the residential land owners adjacent to the site.
The new plan no longer includes commercial zoning. The area previously
proposed for I-2 zoning has now been changed to I-1. The area to be
zoned for single-family development has been enlarged to increase
separation between the new industrial area and existing residential

development. The plan no longer includes a park or storm water
retention ponds. Dry basisn will be used for storm water management.
No new access points to Route 59 will be provided from this site.
A11 lots along Route 59 will access from Rhea Raad as extended.
A berm at a width of 50 feet will be provided to separate and buffer
residential areas from industrial. A stub street extension to the
west (from the residential area) and the potential continuation of
the north-south residential street will provide for construction of
secondary access roads to serve the site. This will relieve traffic
load to 119th Street through the existing residential subdivision
Although the revised request still does not completely conform to
the Comprehensive Plan, it is an improvement over the original
submission.
The plan calls for 31 residential parcels and 43 industrial tracts.
The Village Comprehensive Plan far this area shows low density
residential, but does not account for the existing industrial land
uses in the area and this omission may be seen by some to be an error.
The Plan Commission reviewed the rezoning request and recommends
denial based on lack of conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
J. Dement asked the developer if sewer and. water was .available to
their area would they participate in the cost for the line charges.
Mr. Kleronornos, developer, stated they would be willing to if it were
available. It would be a benefit to them in their development of the
area. Well and septic is going to limit them to certain types of
uses. He also stated they are seeking to annex both the industrial
and residential areas.
D. Lewin asked who would monitor what sort of dumping goes into the
septic fields in an industrial area. Mr. Waldock stated he feels the
Health Department would govern this.
Mr. Kleronomos stated that septic fields in an industrial area such
as this are primarily used for bathrooms and probably generate less
use than residential. He also stated a main benefit for having
sewer and water would be that the insurance rates would be lower
for the industrial users.
Mr. Michael Martin, Attorney far the developers, was present and
presented a few plats and aerial photographs of the property as it
exists now. He said they have four cases before the County regarding
this project, two of which are before Plainfield.
He stated that the developers have

Attorney Martin stated they have met with the Wheatland Township
Board and with the homeowners of Wolf Creek Subdivision.
Wheatland approved the plan with conditions: low profile, directed
lighting, covenants on the land, and are concerned with water and
sewer in the future. In the meeting with the homeowners they
wanted the developer to compromise and add more residential. The
developer felt this will cost about $200,000. The homeowners also
voiced complaints about access through their subdivision from the
additional 31 lots.
Discussion followed regarding a pre-annexation agreement. Attorney
Martin stated he does not have it typed as yet due to illness.
The Board felt that the pre-annexation agreement is important as far
as utility easements and sharing cost of water and sewer lines to
this development.
Attorney James Brady was present on behalf of a majority of the
homeonwers in the Wolf Creek Subdivision. He stated they are opposed
to this development as presented tonight. Referred to the Village
Comprehensive. Plan showing low residential for this area. They feel
the Comprehensive Plan is good. They are looking for goad development
now and in the future.
M. Latta reminded Mr. Brady that the Comprehensive Plan showing the area
as low density residential only is an error. The Plan does not show
the existing use.
Mr. Brady stated the homeowners see the existing use (industrial
park) and feel it will just keep expanding. They do not want this.
Mr. Brady then briefly discussed the homeowners. meeting with
Wheatland Township and the developer.
Attorney Brady asked, on behalf of the homeowners of Wolf Creek, that
the Board object to this plan and file a formal objection with the
County. The homeowners built their homes in what they thought was a
residential area and feel it should stay residential. The homeowners
are also concerned about the access to Route 59 -- they feel there
should be an access to 59.
Attorney Michael Martin discussed assessed valuation. Industrial
does not send children to school, there is no drain on municipal
services, would be a benefit to the school district, and would add
employees and sales tax revenues to the County.
Attorney Martin submitted letters from 12 residents who support the
proposed Wolfcreek plan.

Attorney Brady commented on the letters Mr. Martin presented saying
the letters call for a non-objection. He feels they do not say they
are in approval, but it is a non-objection situation. He also
commented some of the signatures are husband and wife, and some
signed twice because they own two lots.
Many residents of the Wolf Creek Subdivision were present and
voiced their concerns. They are opposed to this plan and want the
area to stay residential.
Ms. Lori Schelling stated she is not a resident of Wolf Creek
Subdivision but expressed her opinion that she is a little disappointed
that after all of the Village's expansion plans, we are still talking
well and septic within a mile and a half.
The Board again discussed a pre-annexation agreement. J. Dement
stated when the agreement is drawn up and received by the Board, we're
not positive that we will agree to it. We will be granting rezoning
tonight not knowing if we can come to an agreement on a pre-annexation
agreement.
There was a long discussion regarding cost of running water and sewer
lines to this development. The developer stated they would be
willing to participate in these costs, but the development could not
bear the total cost of running the lines.
L. Kelly moved to concur with the Flan Commission to deny the
requested I-1 to R-2A rezoning because the I-1 should extend straight
north/south in line with Wolfcreek 1 and 2, and since it is a mile
and a half, it should be water and sewer. Seconded by J. Dement.
Vote by roll call.
Gullicksen, no; Kelly, yes; Lewin, yes; Sharp, no; Dement, yes;
Gaylord, yes. 4 yes, 2 no. Motion carried.
Mr. Jerry Taylor, Chairman of Plainfield Fest '89 was present and
stated the Fest will be July l4, 15 and 16 of this year. He is asking
for closing of streets as shown on map presented to Board. Asked
that a portion between Lockport and Chicago Street be closed at
1:00 p.m. in order for them to start putting up the tents, etc.
The beer tent will be in the same area as last year. Several athletic
groups will be serving and checking for ID's and keeping everyone
inside the tent with liquor. There will be no liquor outside the
tent, no minors allowed inside. Signs will be posted saying "No
leaving beer tent with alcohol". The beer tent will have an expanded
fenced in area this year.
