Planner Waldock spoke in reference to County Case, Wolf Creek III
rezoning. Location - east side of Route 59 south of 119th Street
adjacent to Wolf Creek Unit II. Request - County zoning change
from A-1 Agricultural to I-2 Industrial on approximately 4 acres,
C-4 Commercial on approximately 9 acres and R-2A Single-Family
Residential on approximately 16 acres. Applicant - Phase Three
Associates, Robert Sohol, Agent. Comprehensive Plan Designation,
low density residential. The subject site of 100 acres is
unimproved agricultural land. Access is provided via Route 59
and the extensions of Rhea Road and a residential link south from
Andrew Road (east portion). The proposal includes an 18.9 acre
commercial tract along Route 59; 39 Industrial lots with a
minimum acreage of 40,000 square feet each; 20 single-family
residential lots of 30,000 square feet each; and a 16 acre
recreation and storm water management area. The project proposes
the extension of existing stub end streets for connection with
adjacent developments. Each site is to be served with individual
• wells and septic systems. Development controls for design and

facade treatment are proposed to be similar to those in Wolf
Creek Unit II. Although 60~ of the development does not conform
with land use projections of the Village Comprehensive Plan, the
project is (for the most part) an expansion of existing land uses
on adjacent tracts. The existing commercial/industrial uses on
Route 59 at 119th Street and the industrial uses in Wolf Creek
Unit II are not identified on the Village Plan. While large
scale deviations from the land u se projections of the
Comprehensive Plan must be discouraged, this proposal expands on
existing land uses and provides a recreation and storm management
area for a buffer and transition to residential land uses
projected to the south by the Village Comprehensive Plan. The
Preliminary Land Plan includes what appears to be a landscape
berm along the property line dividing industrial uses from
Residential uses to the east.. This type of berming should also
be provided along the south line of industrial Lot #39 and the
south line of the commercial tract. Placement of berms to the
south would act to buffer the industrial and commercial uses of
this development from projected residential uses. Additional
berming would also be of benefit along the south line of
residential Lots #12 and #13 and along the east line of
industrial Lot #9. The Plan Commission heard comments from a
large number of residential land owners adjacent to the subject
site. Concerns were raised regarding well contamination, use
separation (industrial next to residential), street extensions,
and mis-use of parks by juveniles. The Commission expressed
concern regarding non-comp~.iance with the Village Comprehensive
Plan.. They felt the residential area of the plan needed to be
enlarged. The Plan Commission findings were: 1) The subject
site is within 1.5 miles of the Village limits; 2) The
Comprehensive Plan projects low density residential land use for
the subject site; 3) The plan, as submitted, .provides for
commercial and industrial uses on 60~ of the subject site; and 4)
The Plan, as submitted, does not provide adequate conformance to
the Village Comprehensive Plan. W. Sharp questioned what is
permitted in County I-1 zoning? Planner Waldock stated I-1 is
the limited Industrial District allowing lots to 10,000 square
feet and I-2 is General Industrial District with 10,000 square
feet lots. Land uses under I-1 all manufacturing in industry
activity (and he read the list). Under I-2 District are all
manufacturing uses permitted in I-1 are allowed as (and he read
the list) and some uses are permitted under special use permits.
Attorney Bob Levee spoke for the Developer, Phase Three
Associates, Mr. Robert Sohol the Developer for Wolf Creek Unit
II. This project was presented to the Wheatland. Township Plan
Commission and was approved unanimously. Then. it was presented
to the Wheatland Township Board and it was approved unanimously.
He attempted to explain the plan for the development. He stated

due to the concern of the existing residents, the park area at
the south has been removed from the plan and it could be a green
area or agricultural area. The I-2 Industrial area seemed to be
a source of concern, therefore the developers agreed to accept
the change to I-1 from I-2. Mr. Rynearson, Engineer for the
project explained the road in the rear would be used far
emergency use only. W. Sharp questioned how many homes are in
the existing subdivision? Mr. Sokol stated 25 to 30 lots of
which all do not have homes on to date. He stated a question was
raised in regard to the type of street (Rhea & Anderson) they are
black top surfaced streets. There was same discussion on making
lot #9 in the I-1 Industrial area as residential. That would
allow the existing residents a berm of residential area.
Attorney Dan Quigley spoke representing some of the homeowners
from the existing Wolf Creek Subdivision north of the subject
property. These concerns are: I-2 objected to as being too
intense for the area; the expanding of the industrial I-1 from
Route 59, it is creating too deep of an industrial track rather
they feel that residential should be expanded further west and
allow a smaller industrial area. Mr. Jerry Tabke, a residential
north of the proposed development, spoke in reference to the
future traffic this development would create in their residential
area. Also he was concerned about the deep well the developer
plans to construct. This could take away from the existing wells
in the area. Marty Schack, resident of an existing home in the
area, spoke concerning the proposed berm. It will not do
anything for the existing homes. It will not stop noise or air
pollution. Mrs. Fran Schmitt stated her concern of the deep well
that is proposed to be dug. Engineer Rynearson stated the well
will be approximately 1500 feet deep. It will have to be
approved by the E.P.A. There were many more adjacent land owners
present expressing their concerns regarding this development.
Attorney Quigley spoke stated they are only asking at this time
for your approval of the zoning and concept, then when we are
ready far the subdivision plat approval, we will welcome any
comments regarding specific concerns that the County should
review at the Plat Review process. There was more discussion and
concern on the direction of Andrew Road and the deep well.
W. Sharp moved to concur with the Plan Commission and file a
legal objection against the proposed rezoning of Wolf Creek Unit
III with the following three (3) reasons: 1) The plan, as
submitted, provides for commercial and industrial uses on 60~ of
the subject site; 2) The plan, as submitted, does not provide
adequate conformance to the Village Comprehensive Plan and 3)
Concerns about quality of water and septic. Seconded by L.
.Belly. Attorney Quigley requested to speak for his client, the
Board did not object. Mr. Quigley requested this matter be

tabled fox the developer to return to the Plan Commission to try
to work out the concerns. W. Sharp withdrew his motion and L.
Ke11y withdrew his second. Mayor Latta stated it is tabled and
we will notify the County that this matter will be sent back to
the Plan Commission for further review.
It was the consensus of the Board to table the proposals for the
1989-90 Fiscal Year Auditing services until Administrator
Pusinelli returns from vacation.

submitted at the next Workshop Meeting. Harry Countryman has
done some research on automatic generators at lift stations and
he is recommending portable generators at our lift stations. J.
Dement questioned what is our restrictions on front yard fences?
It was the consensus of the Board that anyone wanting a front
yard fence should request a variance.
W. Sharp spoke in reference to the Shorewood Dispatching
Agreement. The Board had some questions and it was the consensus
That Shorewood should act on the Agreement first, then it would
be brought. back to the Village Board.
D. Lewin moved to hire Anne Chaplin as a crossing guard at the
current rate of $11.00 per day for three (3) crossings ($4.00 for
morning and evening crossings each and $3.00 for noon crossing).

construction work starting tomorrow (5/2/89) on Fart Beggs Drive
and James Street. In the future, we are going to try to
standardize the Village vehicles.
Attorney Harvey reported there are some significant laws that
were passed January 1, 1989 regarding public contracts, change
order, bid rigging, bid rotating and things that must come before
the Berard. This is all in reference to any public body that
