Objectors: Area property owners
Recommendations:
Regional Planning Comm.: N/A
Zoning Board: Approval with the following stipulations:
1. The Kane County Water Resources Department will require a stormwater permit for this development.
2. An Engineer’s report will be required. Should the site introduce more than 25,000 sq ft of impervious area or more than 3 acres of disturbance, stormwater detention will be required. This impervious area is calculated cumulatively since 2002 for a site as per the Stormwater Ordinance. The Engineer’s report must demonstrate that the peak flow for the site with the proposed development is not increased, stormwater detention may be required for the development to ensure this. Any required Stormwater Management will require a viable outfall and may require off-site work.
3. Should the site introduce more than 5,000 sq ft of impervious, a BMP will be required for all impervious surfaces.
4. A calculation for disconnected impervious area, created by the panels, will be required. A Best Management Practice will be required to encourage infiltration of runoff within the site.
5. A drain tile study will be required, including upstream and downstream tile systems that rely on the drain tiles within the site. Water Resources is looking for the protection of the tile system that is in place, including but not limited to replacement in kind and observation and cleanout structures.
6. Plantings within the development will not interfere with drain tiles. Planting plan should address the placement of vegetation and trees with long root systems that can interfere with tile systems and cause off site issues including surcharged drain tiles and blow outs of the drain tile systems.
7. 80% vegetative coverage for plantings will be a requirement for the site.
8. Any fill within Floodplain or Depressional Storage will require Compensatory Storage. Compensatory Storage for any fill must be designed by a Licensed Professional Engineer.
9. A Wetland Delineation will be required. Any impacts to the Wetlands will require Mitigation.
10. The property is required to obtain an access permit to I.C. Trail, and fulfill all access permit requirements from the Virgil Township Road District, prior to site development.
11. Add additional tree screening as shown on the Powerpoint slides submitted by Andy Melka to the County for use in the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, and more specifically: Increase density of tree screening to 15’ center-to-center, extend the line of screening as shown on the slides and with neighbor’s permission, install alternating evergreen and deciduous trees, rather than only evergreen.
12. Revise the proposed fence from chain link to agricultural or “deer” fence, with metal 4” mesh (or similar) and treated wood fenceposts.
Development Committee: Approval with the recommended stipulations
