applications being submitted.

Zoning Petitions

Petition # 4665 Petitioner: Riverside Club for Adventure & Imagination

Dev. Dir. VanKerkhoff stated that the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) received a

letter of request from the Big Rock Township requesting that the ZBA postpone

this Petition. (Committee Member Garcia arrived in-person at 10:37 a.m.)

However, there was no additional comment made from Big Rock. VanKerkhoff

stated that there has been comments made by the public relating to this Petition.

He noted that this Petition was heard at two different ZBA meetings.

VanKerkhoff introduced Zoning Petition 4665: Riverside Club for Adventure and

Imagination. He stated that this petition has requested a Special Use Permit in

the F-Farming District for a recreational camp located at 49W226 Jericho Road,

Big Rock Township. He explained that the Petitioner submitted all of the proper

paperwork and a notice was sent to all adjacent property owners within 250 feet

of the subject property. He reviewed comments made by the Kane County

Sheriff's Office and the Big Rock Fire Department pertaining to traffic and safety

considerations. He shared the requested Emergency Action Plan that was

developed at the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) meeting held on August 5,

2025 that should be posted in key areas throughout the facility. He reviewed the

determination letter that was received by the Zoning Enforcement Officer since

the August ZBA meeting. He stated that the Zoning Enforcement Office

determined that this petition best fits under Special Use DD. VanKerkhoff shared

aerial photographs of the property. He reviewed the facility's Event Parking Plan.

He stated that this parcel is categorized as Agriculture/Food, Farm, and Small

Town Area on the 2040 Conceptual Land Use Strategy and Coutryside/Estate

Residential on the 2040 Land Use Analysis. He shared several photographs and

maps depicting the location and surrounding areas of the parcel. He reviewed

the floor plans for the Event Barn. He noted that if this rezoning were approved,

the County's building inspectors would establish a use and change of use

process for the building permit to address life safety and egress. Overall, the

single-family house is adaptable to the proposed use of the space. VanKerkhoff

shared the Riverside Club's program depicting the mission, employees, events,

programs, and activities. He reviewed the stipulations of the Kane County Water

Resources Department, Kane County Division of Transportation (KDOT), and

Kane County Health Department. He shared the results of the EcoCAT Report

conducted by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and the NRI

Report conducted by the Kane-DuPage Soil and Water Conservation District.

VanKerkhoff provided a list of the ZBA's recommended stipulations. He

explained that at the ZBA meeting held on August 5, 2025, Kane County

Technical Staff received comments from area property owners expressing

concerns regarding the petition. He noted that copies of these letters have been

posted on the Kane County website under the petition number on the Pending

Zoning Petitions page. He reviewed the next steps for this petition. He stated

that the ZBA approved this petition with the recommended stipulations.

VanKerkhoff and Environ. and Water Res. Dir. Wollnik addressed questions and

comments from the Committee. Much discussion ensued. (Committee Member

Arroyo arrived remotely at 10:46 a.m.)

Big Rock Township Supervisor, Dean Hummell, spoke on Big Rock's concerns

regarding this petition. He noted that the Township is not opposing the petition,

just that there is concern about traffic. He explained that Jericho Road is a high

speed road with a speed limit of 55 miles per hour. He stated that it is not the

normal day-to-day operations that Township is worried about, but the large

events that bring hundreds of cars and buses to the area. He explained that

many of these cars/buses will leave the property at night on an unlit, high-speed

road. Hummell stated that the property in question has a property line that drops

down to the roadway, which does not help with sight. Discussion ensued.

Hummell recommended that when hosting the larger events, the petitioner have

police present to direct traffic on Jericho Road. Additionally, he explained that

Big Rock is a small farming community with approximately 50 people. However,

there are numerous not-for-profits being established within Big Rock, which is

causing resident tax payers to pay more.

Kate Doyle, Villa Park, stated that she is a long-time Riverside Club mother. She

read aloud a statement made by her son, Shamus, who is a 19 year old and was

among the original classes of Riverside. She noted that this letter will showcase

the program and the young men it produces. The letter entailed his personal

experiences and teachings over the past ten years.

Petitioner, Peter Servey, addressed the public. He explained that Riverside Club

was founded 11 years ago by himself, who has 24 years of experience in

teaching. With the Riverside Club, he wanted to give young boys an experience

of brotherhood and friendship in the midst of the creative arts, outdoor

adventure, and craftsmanship. He stated that he has been searching numerous

properties that would fit the needs of Riverside and their mission. Servey stated

that he strives for the Riverside Club to be a part of Big Rock due to the

agricultural rural aspects. He spoke on the resident's concerns about

trespassing by the club's participants. He stated that signs are posted along the

property line and that penalties would be established, if trespassing occurred.

He spoke on the flood plain, the retention pond, and the concerns of flooding.

He stated that the area near the pond would be for tent camping only. Regarding

traffic, Servey explained that the speed limit on Jericho Road around the curve

is 40 miles per hour. He stated that he is an advocate for what ever the Kane

County Division of Transportation (KDOT) would like to impose on Jericho Road

to ensure drivers slow down. He explained that the Riverside Club only hosts

one large event each year. He ensured that he will have police present at the

event to help with traffic and safety. In his experience of hosting large events, he

explained that he has learned what is needed to ensure safety for those

involved. Servey addressed questions and comments from the Committee.

Discussion ensued.

Petition # 4667 Petitioner: Michael Bohanek, et ux

Dev. Dir. VanKerkhoff introduced Zoning Petition 4667: Michael and Deanna

Bohanek. This petition has requested a Rezoning from F-Farming District to F-1

District Rural Residential to create a new residential parcel on the northwest

portion of the property located at 50W760 Scott Road, Big Rock Township. The

existing home will be the subject of a second F-1 rezoning, which will keep this

portion of the property in conformance for continued residential use.

VanKerkhoff stated that this parcel is categorized as Agriculture/Food, Farm,

and Small Town Area on the 2040 Conceptual Land Use Strategy and

Agriculture on the 2040 Lane Use Analysis. He shared several photographs and

maps depicting the location and surrounding area of the property. He displayed

several site inspection photographs of the contents of the property, such as the

existing house and grounds. He shared the recommended stipulations of the

Kane County Water Resources Department, Kane County Division of

Transportation (KDOT), and the Kane County Health Department (KCHD). He

reviewed the results of the EcoCAT Report conducted by the Illinois Department

of Natural Resources (IDNR) and the NRI Report conducted by the

Kane-DuPage Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). VanKerkhoff

shared the additional recommended stipulations of approval from the Zoning

Board of Appeals (ZBA). He noted that this petition did not receive any public

comment. He stated that there has been one objector who is an area property

owner. He reviewed the ZBAs standards and findings. He stated that the ZBA

recommended approval of this petition. VanKerkhoff and the Petitioner Deanna

Petition # 4666 Petitioner: SV CSG Wilson School Solar LLC

Dev. Zoning Planner Zine introduced Zoning Petition 4666: SunVest (SV) CSG

Wilson School Solar, LLC. She stated that the property owner of approximate

34-acre parcel located on the south side of Highland Avenue, 0.7 miles west of

Randall Road in Elgin Township is CHB Family Limited Partnership. Zine shared

several maps and photographs depicting the location and surrounding areas of

the parcel. She noted that the solar facility will not take up the entire property.

She stated that this parcel is categorized as Critical Growth Area/Route 47

Corridor on the 2040 Conceptual Land Use Strategy and Resource

Management on the 2040 Land Use Analysis. She stated that the Resource

Management area is a highly contextual land use. Resource Management

encourages plans to take in consideration the surrounding areas, as well as,

nearby municipalities' future development plans. Zine explained that the site of

the proposed solar facility would fall within the City of Elgin's planning

jurisdiction, which classified this area as single-family detached in their Land

Use Plan. She noted that the City of Elgin did object to this petition. She

reviewed the proposed site plan of the solar facility. She shared the required

setbacks of the solar panels. She stated that the solar field meets all minimum

requirements from all surrounding properties. Zine reviewed the

Landscaping/Vegetation Plan. She explained that a combination of evergreens

and shrubs would be staggered to accomplish a well screened solar facility for

surrounding neighbors. She reviewed the Fence Detail for the parcel. Zine

reviewed the stipulations from the Kane County Water Resources Department,

Kane County Division of Transportation (KDOT), and the Pingree Grove and

Countryside Fire Protection District. She shared the results of the EcoCAT

Report conducted by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and

the NRI Report conducted by the Kane-DuPage Soil and Water Conservation

District (SWCD). She reviewed the additional review from the United States Fish

and Wildlife Service (USFWS) who determined the project would have no effect

on most species. Zine reviewed the public comment that was received regarding

this Community Solar facility, which were uploaded to the Pending Zoning

Petitions page on the Kane County website. She shared the Special Use Permit

standards and the ZBA's findings. Overall, the ZBA has recommended approval

of this Zoning Petition with the recommended stipulations. Zine addressed

questions and comments from the Committee. Much discussion ensued.

City of Elgin's Director of Community Development, Marc Mylott, stated that the

City of Elgin submitted their written objection to this Petition. He explained that

the City of Elgin is located 150 feet caddy-corner to the subject property. He

explained that this approximate 600 acres has been identified by the City of

Elgin in their Comprehensive Plan as a single-family detached area. He stated

that not only has the City of Elgin deemed this area better equipped for

residential use, but the County of Kane has also identified this area as a critical

growth area within their 2040 Conceptual Land Use Plan. Mylott explained that

one of the Special Use standards state that the establishment of the Special

Use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of

surrounding properties. He stated that the County's 2040 Conceptual Land Use

Plan identified this area as F-Farming, which is an outdated zoning district.

Looking at the City of Elgin's surrounding zoning, it is depicted that these

single-family residential lots would be approximately 10K square feet. Mylott

explained that the City of Elgin has adopted a Sustainability Plan and

appreciates what solar facilities do for environmental concerns, but it cannot be

environmental at all cost. He spoke on the lack of housing and the need for

housing development. He stated that the City of Elgin was invited by the

Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and Kane County to

participate in the Readiness for Housing Development Program. The purpose of

this program is to remove barriers on housing development and help

communities meet housing needs for their future. In conclusion, Mylott stated

that as affordable housing is being looked into, removing this much land from

potential development will not help the supply and demand of housing. He

stated that the City of Elgin is doing all they can to ensure that housing remains

affordable. Mylott addressed questions and comments from the Committee.

Discussion ensued.

Kane County resident, Vincent Argento, voiced his objection to this Petition. He

explained why an industrial solar farm does not need to be placed next to a

residential neighborhood. He spoke on the LaSalle Factors. He noted that the

City of Elgin has addressed one of the LaSalle Factors: impact on future

development. Argento spoke on the property values of neighboring properties.

He mentioned a report that was brought forth by the petitioner that stated there

are no affects on property values located near solar facilities. However, he has

found this to be incorrect. Argento stated that common sense and logic justify

the denial of the request. He explained that common sense tells us that when an

industrial solar facility is placed adjacent to a residential neighborhood that it will

have impacts. He stated that no one can argue that this solar facility will not

harm the character, quality of life, and the property values of the neighborhood.

Argento explained that a development plan needs to fit the character of the

surrounding neighborhoods, be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and

promote the orderly growth and development. At the ZBA hearing, a SunVest

Solar representative testified that the solar facility should not affect the City of

Elgin in any way, because they have plenty of land and can grow elsewhere.

Argento stated that if this Petition is to move forward, it would be a complete

disregard of the City of Elgin's future development expectations. Additionally, if

this Petition passes, it will set a dangerous precedence. One that undermines

the Comprehensive Plan, destabilizes property values, and invites a patchwork

of incompatible land uses across Kane County. He explained that the law does

not ask whether Elgin has land elsewhere. It asks whether this project is

compatible at this location, which it is not. Argento stated that if land exists

elsewhere, then the solar farm should be developed there. Lastly, he explained

that over 60 residents of the neighboring homes to the proposed solar facility

have formally objected to this Petition. He asked the Committee to vote against

the Petition due to impacts on property values and impede future growth.

Kane County resident, Sharon Wright, explained that her house is located on a

corner that will be sandwiched between two solar facilities. She stated that this

proposed solar facility is too close to the residential area. She explained that just

because the Committee could approve this Petition, does not mean they should.

Wright spoke on her concerns of severe weather causing potential harm. She

explained that there are over 60 residents who have opposed this petition. She

stated that she submitted photographs of a previous solar facility that was

recently approved that depicted the dead vegetation screening. She spoke on

the lack of maintenance and accountability of the solar project developers. She

explained that this Special Use request is not compatible with the residential

area with negative impacts on property values and the neighborhood character.

She stated that everyone residing in the West Highland Acres neighborhood

takes care of their homes and enjoys the closeness of the City, while having the

country in their backyards. Wright explained that if this Petition were to be

approved, her home would be surrounded by solar fields. She noted that this is

the wrong location for a solar facility that would be surrounded by homes,

nursing homes, and schools. She urged the Committee to protect the residents

and vote no to this Petition.

Kane County resident, Dolores Argento, voiced her objection to this Petition.

She stated that there is a reason the Kane County 2040 Plan has designated

this space as a critical growth area. She explained that those who reside in West

Highland Acres enjoy having everything within a ten minute drive to support their

daily lives. Additionally, the area has a Metra Station, the Tollway, two hospitals,

specialty medical care, shopping, churches, et cetera. Argento stated that

approving this Petition that would tie up this prime piece of real estate for the

next 35 years. This would not be a good choice. She questioned why the

Petitioner submitted a revised site plan that depicted the inverters and

transformers being moved to the center of the solar field. She explained that this

area in the center of the proposed solar facility was deemed least likely to flood

by the Engineering Report. Argento spoke on the flooding issue that the West

Highland Acres Neighborhood has experienced since the beginning. She

explained that she has spent hours meeting with the Water Department to

address the flooding issue to discuss the residents' serious concerns. She

stated that West Highland Acres is an old neighborhood that does not have a

Homeowner's Association to rectify the flooding issues. She explained that

allowing new drain tile to be connected to the old system would only make the

problem worse, which would be a financial burden to individual homeowners.

Argento mentioned that Zoning Standard B states the project cannot be injurious

to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity. She asked

the Committee to object to this petition.

Sunvest Solar, LLC, Regional Director of Project Development, Bill French,

stated he was accompanied by property owner, Charles Burnidge. French

provided a brief history of SunVest. He listed the approved SunVest solar

projects in Kane County. He stated that SunVest permits, develops, constructs,

owns, and operates all of their solar facilities. He explained that SunVest's

submittal to the County meets and/or exceeds the Solar Ordinance. He noted

that the County's Solar Ordinance does not prohibit solar facilities to be placed

adjacent to residential areas. He reviewed the findings of facts for the proposed

solar facility. He addressed the reports submitted regarding the safety measures

and potential affects of the solar facility. Regarding the City of Elgin, French

stated that SunVest has met with their representatives. He explained that the

City of Elgin states that this solar facility would impede on their growth. However,

he stated that the solar facility is a temporary land use and that the City of Elgin

has other means to develop. French spoke on the drain tile. He explained that

SunVest has agreed to replace or repair the existing drainage tiles on the

property. He stated that as a condition of approval, SunVest will install 1,650

feet of 12-drain tile along the east property line, which would significantly

improve the drainage in the area. French addressed the ingress and egress off

of Highland Avenue under the jurisdiction of Elgin. Additionally, he stated that a

sound study was submitted that shows evidence that the solar facility will not

exceed the Illinois Pollution Control Board's standards. French stated that

SunVest believes that this proposed solar facility meets and/or exceeds all the

requirements in the County's Ordinance for solar development and will have a

reasonable affect of solving stormwater issues, allow those that want to

participate in solar to have the means to do so, and will have a significant

increase on taxes. French and Burnidge addressed questions and comments

from the Committee. Discussion ensued.

Motion failed with a 2-7 vote. This petition will move onto County Board for

further consideration.

Property Code Enforcement Division

Monthly Report

Property Code Enforcement Officer Mall stated the monthly report was on file.

He explained that two reports were prepared for this month's Development

Committee meeting: Statistical Report and Detailed Report. He stated that the

Detailed Report was emailed to all Committee members prior to today's meeting.

Mall noted that new cases have decreased since 2023 and 2024. However, the

overall caseload has significantly increased to 71 in August 2025. In August,

there were 32 new cases, 30 closed cases, and four cases went to adjudication.

Mall stated that this month, the Property Code Enforcement Division was

AirBnBs. He has prepared a letter introducing this new ordinance and has

emailed it out to all Committee members. Along with the letter, there was an

Excel Spreadsheet that listed the Division's ideas after looking at what other

Planning & Special Projects

Monthly Report

Dev. Dir. VanKerkhoff stated the monthly Planning and Special Projects Report

was on file. He explained that September is the final month of the County's

Emergency Rental Assistance Program from the United States Treasury. In

terms of obligating the funds, the County is working to give as much money as

possible to projects and sub-recipients. He thanked the County Board for

passing previous resolutions pertaining to the Program. He explained that one of

the programs that the County is conducting in-house is the Emergency Rental

Assistance Program, which pays for rent in arrears. To do this, VanKerkhoff has

asked staff to help those applying for assistance. He explained that the County

entered into a short-term contract with MGT, who is a provider for some of the

additional professional staff that was utilized for Workforce Development. He

stated that even though the period of obligation is at the end of September, the

County has three months to do their reporting and close-out. Therefore, the

Development Department entered into a contract to continue MGT's services

using the Emergency Purchase Affidavit (EPA) under the County Code.
