this conference will now be recorded first item is the uh review of the agenda i'm doing the favor agenda uh next item minutes from the March 11th regular meeting
minutes of March 11th second any discussion favor agenda oh yeah we can do that move
that six okay uh so Adam and Jennifer McKini from 10 Jefferson Drive are looking to reszone their parcel um they're currently in industrial 2 um they're I
think I put a map on there as well but they're kind of next to some industrial storage units um and I think that they were they were in industrial too maybe because they were bringing grandfather in from like the previous like bed and breakfast I think used to be there um
and so they've been there for a few years now and they're looking to be in residential zoning mostly because of their tax that they have to pay every single year and so we're looking to put them in residential too because it's consistent with what we have in the area
it's the closest zone that they have um and so to do that so we're gonna look to set a public hearing for one question i don't think so not that we been aware so far we looked into it a little bit
but we don't have any problems with it property i never understood why it was a house there since 1895 and I think it was probably thought to be torn down at one point in time and
that's why it was an industrial but um yeah I think I mean talk about it i'm going to set [Music] up any other discussion all those in
favor say I 535 public hearing order for 868 Avenue do you want to explain more about that yes so last time we talked about
this uh variance 868 Golf View Avenue they're looking to put a screen in porch on their home um this plans will call or Yeah they'll call for a covered screen and porch to be placed in their rear yard which on last time I believe we had it flipped around but this time I think
I flipped it back for you guys so that the curved area is where it's where it'll be encroaching into um and so it's going to go into the setback by five feet and currently it it's 30 feet right now for the golf course any property
that abs it um and so this was amended previously by the planning zoning commission in 2023 from 35 ft to 30 230 ft and so now it's going to go into 25 ft territory as well um and so if approved or this is the public hearing
for that and you guys can make your recommendation tonight and they'll go to city council moving forward on that com that line is that Yep and I think that this like bottom left section of the the house will be
that screen and porch but I'm not completely sure about that but on that tip there it'll encroach that 25 that that second line will be the 25 foot um property line on sets
so we would have to uh specify what the hardship would be or the reason you would have for so I think based on what we talked about last month the um the curved area is
also the front It was reversed when we were talking about the golf course is on the rear on the top and so the setback would be variance would be on the greater
side along the golf course so at the top instead of 30t it would be requested to approach into it by 5t is there got no comments from any public notices they did receive
notices yep i sent out the mail and then newspaper as well when we changed it from 35 to 30 other parts of you problem with that because The next person was
the next person else talk At what point do we say that next day 15 well yeah and and these setbacks remain for these lots you know to design the
house to fit the lot right you know instead of always us changing the zoning to fit the bill to fit the building right addition Yeah I talked to somebody too they said
the golf court set on the golf course and they're along the golf course you know so we like but at some point in time I think it gets tricky right like if you have one of these other lots that are
adjacent to it that are nice and square you can get more difficult when your lots are shaped to place you remember what the reason
put on the porch so instead of doing variances to change the setback didn't we look at some of the maps and find some places and I think with the golf course I think
is taking that a lot of enfor soon trying to get that dial in you know so and we go further this way you know this person that buys it goes the next person well I'm gonna start moving a little further because it's
really that's what I think it was a tough to me it's a tough one too okay you got a guy that wants to build a house and he's a he's a contractor right yeah this is the house i know the practical difficulties that
we have to consider one of them is the central character out of scale with or inconsistent with others in the area which it would be I have a list here
the the the practical difficulties must be three criteria that one is for the use of receipt for a reasonable manner that they're going to use it in a reasonable manner it has to be unique and circumstances unique to the
property and then the essential character that it won't be out of scale or inconsistent others in the area those are the three things we're to consider if we are to grant a
variance the variances are in place to protect um other properties right new construction this is all plans that we have so far so he's going to 25 we have it at 30 he's going to 25
let's certainly somebody else comes in next time well you gave him 25 what's another 5t we can have 20 or something else well seems secure nobody's here arguing it right i mean it's unique because of the
shape of a lot right pretty close yeah right wasn't part of our zoning ordinance for criteria for granting it has to fit with the other property
property it's property building a porch so if they meet after we we have to follow these three rules that mandatory by
state reasons for that's the way it Yeah probably not no probably not but we do have to abide by these three criteria that's why variance is hard
that's why they're in place i do believe we would also need to close the public hearing as well before public input anyway is there any further discussion close the public hearing any further discussion yeah it could be red to
it it could be it could be redesigned to it without this is a garage that's a house a little hard to see he just wants
to own I would make a motion that's my motion motion second we recommend you want to take a roll let's do a roll call on this now we're voting to deny
the verdict i will be to um what are you struggling to what part are you struggling with i live on the golf course i you know I just my feet isn't that big of a deal i looking at
It's not I'll go the other way so my number okay so the second uh public hearing I have is request call now sure yeah uh Mr olsson at 1025 Main
Street is seeking a variance to build a new garage parcel the new garage will be in the same spot as where the one that's currently there is uh the side and rear setback will remain the same the current garage is roughly 15 feet wide and 20 by
20 feet long the new garage will be 32 feet long by 24 feet wide the setbacks for the parcel zoned in residential two currently uh the sideyard corner lots now less than 12 ft on the sideyard abiding with public street rear yard
accessory dwellings 5t away from interior lot lines and shall not be located within utility easements uh maximum sight coverage can only be 35% uh as for the new garage the sideyard will go 4 feet
uh 4 feet and then it'll be 8 ft into the setback rear yard will be 3 ft and that's 2 ft into the setback no utility easement restrictions and the new 32 foot by 24T garage will with primary residence is only 22% site coverage
um and then we just went through this before but I have the various procedure here as well okay uh the only thing I'd add to it is you know the description is is kind of backwards it's uh 32 foot wide and 20 foot long i
mean yeah I wondered about that did we Did we define that last week or last tal the garage is only the garage is only going to be 4 ft longer than the building that's there now but it's going to be
wider towards your house right two two to a a l two an approach from dead street for two cars to come into the garage that's so wide going towards the house
the widness goes from the alley to the house yeah not the Yeah the way around but yeah it's not going to is it going to cover the same um expansion on both sides as what it's where it's sitting now or is it going to go one one way to
go towards the house it'll that will be where the width will be added 32 between the west wall of the garage between the alley where it starts from the alley and towards the house 32 ft yeah okay but the new width will
be from the west side of the garage on towards the house correct the east side of the garage towards the east side does your house sit on the east side of the main street the set back in the alley what
What is that now two uh I think it's four is your house on the south side of the street or Yeah south side of 10th Street yeah that's 10th Street little cross the
south side of 10th Street yeah main street's over here where that car is okay it's just that the explanation and then the back side is going to extend how much further um 4T only four
feet yeah hell it can go that far because there's a gas line there and I'm limited to where it is okay i mean I can't I'm not going to tear up the gas and actually the building replacement
really isn't a garage can't get a car in it no I've been by there it didn't look like lots of warm cars i put a car under there one time when we first moved there you can't get out the door cuz barely got in the door
that's the sake of the new existing so all of the criteria fits what you were just saying nothing no problem there's any other
comments public any discussion by I move that we I second be seconded that we recommend approval of this various requests any other discussion with the vote
i will approve yes i'm going to stayain this help bring it to the city um yes approve the motion will carry four
to one extension okay so the next time you gather a whole business [Music] yes so uh we were recommended by our city
attorney kind of moving forward that we would like to develop a new development agreement that we use universally across any new developments that come into town um this what we're recommending to city council tonight is only a template i do have a physical copy here and was
interested in looking at it once more um but all we're kind of looking at is it's it's only a template and these figures will change based on every single development and this gives the city a lot more leeway into creating these agreements so that we can kind of negotiate different things we can remove
things that are not necessary for every agreement um and obviously gives us a lot more legal backing let's say we were sued um by a property owner for any group of contracts we have something that's a little bit has a little bit more teeth to it and covers all of our bounds um and this will be a great
benefit to us moving forward because we will be starting to work on developing a new agreement for the killer garment building that will be going in and this will give us a lot more room to negotiate and help us to just have a formalized agreement that any developer can look at if they're looking to come
into town um and this can be available to use and we took this template um this all covers from the city of St charles so this is what they have but our city attorney also worked there previously and he has recommended this and we've changed everything to fit umbrella as
well so what you're looking at is what we'll be what we hope to move forward with um for any future agreements question I had previous to now like that building
specific that was done yeah well we've used templates in the past before but we didn't have a universal one that we used consistently so we've had a few different kind of ones that we've used in the past and I think going forward it would just be better if we were more consistent with that because if someone
were to sue us they could use that as an argument saying that you had two different agreements which cover different things and different templates is interesting discussion on we would just Yeah we would be voting
to recommend it to city council so this is a standard thing and the things that are filled in on it are going to be different for each person yeah the meat of it is going to remain the same we have some blank spots which
we'll fill in with like our figures so like if we have a TIFF agreement or something we'll fill in those specific numbers because they're going to change every single time um and some of like some of the criteria in there and some of the sections aren't necessary for every building and won't be and so those
will get removed and sometimes they'll get reworked anyway too um like in particular with the color apartment building there may be some things that will have to change just because like an apartment building may not require all the things that are in there and so those will be worked out when we
negotiate it but you will see the final product of every single development agreement this isn't saying that we're good to go and you can just do whatever you want any agreement that we have will eventually come back to you and city council for approval at and the final
regard so when it's written up the parts that don't apply are going to be taken out yep but you'll still see the final okay yep i make a motion recommend move a second and that we recommend
approval of this development template discussion all in favor say I any other business second I reserved
