The <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> Planning Commission met on Monday, <strong>February</strong> 7, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. in<br />

the <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> Courthouse, Dixon, <strong>Illinois</strong>. Chairman, William O'Keefe, called the<br />

meeting to order and took roll with the following members present: Bob Logan, Wendy<br />

Ryerson, Pat Dunphy, Ellen Smith, John Hilleson, Chris Henkel, and Erica Scheidecker,<br />

Clerk.<br />

Chairman Bill O'Keefe stated that Russ Renner, the highway department engineer, was<br />

present. As Mr. Renner could only be in attendance at the beginning of the meeting, the<br />

issue pertaining to him would be addressed first.<br />

Chris Henkel reported that the <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> Storm Water Ordinance was created by Russ<br />

Renner using the best of Ogle and Whiteside counties' ordinances. Mr. Henkel reported<br />

that Rochelle area citizens have raised concerns regarding the ordinance, and that Russ<br />

Renner had met with them to address those concerns.<br />

Russ Renner reported on his meeting with citizens of Rochelle. At that meeting, Mr.<br />

Renner told them that the storm water release rate in the ordinance is actually more<br />

conservative than the common engineering standards found across the U.S. Mr. Renner<br />

stated the outcome of the meeting was that the attendees were satisfied with the new<br />

storm water ordinance, specifically that it would be as restrictive as was necessary. Their<br />

only concern was that it might be changed between now and the time it's adopted. Mr.<br />

Renner reported that Reynolds and Alto Township planned to hold a special meeting<br />

immediately and adopt the ordinance themselves, although they were unsure of its<br />

legality. For areas that do need to control storm water, Mr. Renner recommended<br />

evaluating and addressing those issues locally, rather than adopting an overly restrictive<br />

ordinance for the county.<br />

Chairman O'Keefe asked ifMr. Renner was comfortable with the current draft ofthe<br />

storm water ordinance and he stated that he was.<br />

New business was addressed beginning with the review of the sketch plan submitted by<br />

John Schultz. The proposed 16-10tsubdivision is located in Amboy Township on the<br />

southwest comer of Amboy, west of Rocky Ford Road. Chris Henkel reported he<br />

received letters from the Mayor and the Planning Commission ofthe City of Amboy<br />

saying they approve of the plans for development.


Chris Henkel reported that the health department had no issue with the sketch plan, and<br />

the only concern raised was by the highway department.<br />

Chairman O'Keefe inquired ifthe property was on sewer and Mr. Henkel replied that it<br />

was not. Mr. O'Keefe asked John Schultz why they don't get annexed by the city. Mr.<br />

Schultz reported that the City of Amboy is amenable to annexing but the neighbors are<br />

not.<br />

Chairman a 'Keefe asked if the area was contiguous to Amboy and Chris Henkel replied<br />

that it was not. There is a small piece of land in between.<br />

Bob Logan stated Mr. Schultz might be able to get sewer and water from the city even<br />

though the property is not contiguous. There could be an intergovernmental agreement<br />

so that the subdivision could receive sewer, and when the area does become contiguous it<br />

would have to be annexed. Bill O'Keefe stated that if it was within a mile and a half it<br />

could be annexed.<br />

Chairman O'Keefe stated that the comprehensive plan encourages development<br />

contiguous to existing communities, because they do have sewer and water. It is<br />

desirable to have them tie into sewer and water to the extent possible. The planning<br />

commission doesn't want septic developments next to an existing community with a<br />

sewer plant that is a 'l4mile away. Bill O'Keefe also observed that the city could<br />

condemn the land for easements for sewer and water, ifit's within a mile and a half.<br />

Bob Logan recommended that Mr. Schultz talk to Amboy to reach an agreement<br />

regarding sewer. It was observed that the city does not have water at this time. Mr.<br />

Logan then added this subdivision should be made as city lots. Mr. Henkel also stated<br />

that if it is annexed then lot size could as small as % acres because of city sewer.<br />

Russ Renner, the county engineer, stated that the highway department's concern was a<br />

possible conflict with preliminary plans to make improvements on the Rocky Ford bridge<br />

and road. They are planning to take the bend out ofthe road that can be seen on Mr.<br />

Schultz's sketch plan. Mr. Schultz stated that this would not be a problem and he could<br />

alter the affected lots.<br />

Mr. Renner also stated that there needed to be a cul-de-sac or hammer head on the end of<br />

the new proposed roadways and Mr. Schultz replied that this was also not a problem. He<br />

reported that they were planning on creating cul-de-sacs.<br />

Chris Henkel reported if the subdivision was on both city sewer and water the lots can be<br />

as small as Y2acre in size, which is to Mr. Schultz's advantage.<br />

Bill O'Keefe stated this location is appropriate for development and that the commission<br />

was not trying to discourage Mr. Schultz. Chairman O'Keefe stated that the Planning


Commission would like to see this subdivision tied into the utilities of Amboy. Chris<br />

Henkel concluded that we are not giving the green light on the sketch, but the<br />

recommendation from the Planning Commission is that Mr. Schultz should contact<br />

Amboy and see what steps can be taken. Following this, Mr. Schultz should return to this<br />

commISSIon.<br />

Next, Chairman O'Keefe asked if there were any comments or corrections to last month's<br />

minutes. There were none and Wendy Ryerson made a motion to approve and Bob<br />

Logan seconded. All were in favor. The minutes were adopted from last month's<br />

meeting.<br />

Mr. O'Keefe asked ifthere were any visitors present who were not listed on the agenda.<br />

Visitor Dawn Andermann, acting village president of Steward, stated that the Village of<br />

Steward is currently developing a Comprehensive Plan that will be done by the end of<br />

March. Consultant Dave Emanuelson is assisting them and was present as well.<br />

Chairman O'Keefe stated that this project needed to wait until the remapping ofthe<br />

county zoning map is undertaken. The remapping will occur after the new ordinances are<br />

adopted, as there will be new zoning categories. Most of Steward will be zoned as TN<br />

(traditional neighborhood), which means development can occur if it's compatible with<br />

existing uses.<br />

Dave Emanuelson stated that their second issue is the planned use map. Rochelle is<br />

threatening to come outside of Ogle <strong>County</strong> and into <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong>, so Steward is trying to<br />

protect its northern boundaries. Steward currently has water but not sanitary sewer.<br />

Ultimately, they would like develop an agreement to hookup to Rochelle's sewer. The<br />

purpose for a comp plan is so trustees can have something to say, and to coordinate with<br />

<strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong>.<br />

Mr. O'Keefe stated that when the <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> Comprehensive Plan was made in 2000<br />

this region of the county was neglected, but it is now a high priority. Chairman O'Keefe<br />

stated that every community will be at the table when the remapping is done, and there<br />

will be public hearings.<br />

Bob Logan asked that since Steward is incorporated, if they adopt a comp plan and<br />

zoning ordinance. Bill a 'Keefe replied that they could. Ms. Andermann stated that they<br />

were not worried about inside the village, but about the mile and a half jurisdiction<br />

around it. Bob Logan stated with their comp plan, they would get strong control over it.<br />

Chairman O'Keefe stated that they will have input into the remapping process and into<br />

revisions of the master plan. He told them to keep in contact with the planner,<br />

Vandewalle. Mr. O'Keefe suggested they attend the next Planning Commission on<br />

March 7, as there will be a presentation by Mike Slavney from Vandewalle.


The second order of new business was the hearing for Petition 05-PC-45 from Gary<br />

Greenwood for PPN# 14-09-04-200-005, Nachusa Township. The property is located on<br />

the East side of Detour Rd. approximately 14mile north ofIL RT 38.<br />

The property owner, Gary Greenwood, would like to create a two-lot subdivision out of<br />

his five acre parcel, with lot sizes 1.14 and 3.374 acres. Chris Henkel referred to the<br />

sketch plan for the two lot subdivision, stating Mr. Greenwood planned to make a second<br />

lot on the north side of his property. Chris Henkel reported that Mr. Greenwood had<br />

made the changes recommended by the Planning Commission to the sketch plan. Mr.<br />

Henkel reported that all of Mr. Greenwood's paper work had been turned in and<br />

notifications to the neighbors had been sent. Mr. Henkel stated the health department had<br />

no problems with the proposed subdivision.<br />

Wendy Ryerson made a motion to approve and Bob Logan seconded. It was approved<br />

unanimously. Chairman O'Keefe stated it will go to the <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> Board on <strong>February</strong><br />

<strong>15</strong> at 9:00 a.m. with a recommendation for approval.<br />

Bill O'Keefe stated he had received a memo from Vern Gottel, titled "Proposed I-39/IL<br />

Route 251 Distribution Corridor Plan" which Mr. Gottel had found on the internet. Bill<br />

O'Keefe stated it is important but it's not something that this commission is working on<br />

and it should be forwarded to the appropriate people. Marilyn Shippert, a <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />

Board Member, stated that we should question whether it is a valid document. Chris<br />

Henkel will contact Mike Ribel from Ogle <strong>County</strong> Zoning to determine the status of this<br />

plan. Chris Henkel will also determine ifthe memo should be passed on to our planner,<br />

Mike Slavney. Bill O'Keefe stated this issue will be deferred to the next meeting.<br />

Chris Henkel reported that Petition 04-PC-44 by Steven C. Kitzman was approved by the<br />

<strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> Board. Also, Petition 04-P-1399 by Ronald Weber was approved by the <strong>Lee</strong><br />

<strong>County</strong> Board.<br />

Chairman O'Keefe asked Chris Henkel what old business needed to be addressed.<br />

Chris Henkel reported he had received feedback on the zoning ordinances from Chuck<br />

Montavon from the village of Compton. Residents would like a two foot setback inside<br />

the property line for fences. Bill O'Keefe stated that was not feasible. He stated that<br />

people assume fences are on property lines and that a setback would generate confusion<br />

and dispute.<br />

Chris Henkel also reported that Compton residents would like seven foot setbacks on<br />

fences in alleyways so that there is space for snow plows to push the snow. Chris Henkel<br />

stated Compton wanted <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> to make it an ordinance that requires surveys for<br />

fences. Chairman O'Keefe stated that we would not require surveys for fences.<br />

It was also observed that the number of alleys in Compton was probably only about three.


John Hilleson stated that this type of issue is appropriate for the township to address<br />

themselves. It is too difficult for the Planning Commission to determine something that<br />

will work for the entire county. Bob Logan and Wendy Ryerson agreed.<br />

Mr. O'Keefe recommended those individuals attend the public hearing to voice their<br />

OpInIOn.<br />

Chris Henkel asked if there was anything in the new ordinances about fencing in the front<br />

yard and if so, what it was. Bill O'Keefe stated that there was a provision regarding this.<br />

He said this issue should be deferred to the next meeting.<br />

Bob Logan moved to adjourn the meeting and Wendy Ryerson seconded. All were in<br />

favor and the meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m.

process mandating persons seeking a building permit to purchase a 9-1-1 sign prior to being issued a building permit. This will not<br />

affect any existing structures. There are some issues that need to be addressed prior to implementing the mandatory 9-1-1 sign<br />

purchases; however, further updates will be given as progress with the new zoning ordinance is made.<br />

FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING<br />

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10,2005<br />

9:00 A.M.<br />

Members present: Binder, Truckenbrod, Hummel, Nicholson, Shippert<br />

present: Nancy Nelson, Marty Meyer, Kim Becker, John Fritts, Diane Markel,<br />

Cathy Ferguson, Denise McCaffrey, Bev Power<br />

Binder opened the meeting at 9:00 a.m.<br />

Marilyn Shippert reported that CST (<strong>County</strong>wide sales tax) ~% goes to <strong>County</strong>; CT (supplementary<br />

sales tax) does not include municipalities; IUT (increased use tax) purchases made out of state, but IL<br />

tax paid.<br />

Revenue down about $62,000 from all county services; receipts down from same time last year.<br />

Expenses to date are $416,571 over revenue.<br />

Following a question on what is included in "orders paid in vacation." Some phone bills come in before<br />

committee meetings, some don't. Garnishments, bills that would be delinquent, insurance claims are<br />

included. Salary and overtime are not considered "paid in vacation."<br />

<strong>County</strong> Board Chair and Finance Chair have discussed "outside legal counsel." With changes in State's<br />

Attorney, this question again addressed. State's Attorney Whitcombe prepared a letter. Following<br />

receipt of this letter, Finance Chair prepared a policy detailing States Attorney's opinion. This is to be<br />

signed by Board Chairman and forwarded to elected officials.<br />

Binder has requested opinion from State's Attorney if group health insurance money be maintained in a<br />

separate fund in order to build reserves for group health claims.<br />

Expected that IMRF will go up to 9.73% from non SLEP, 5.16% this year. Investments were poor for 5<br />

years. Pool amount decreasing. <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> was at lower rate from time <strong>County</strong> had nursing home. In<br />

December, Fritts warned that next year will require an additional $200,000.<br />

Kim Becker present with Dependent Children's Fund report. Also has emergency appropriation for<br />

"exceptional performances raises." Noted that these will be paid as bonuses, so does not add to base<br />

salaries, but IMRF and Sec. Security will be additional expense to <strong>County</strong>.<br />

Denise and State's Attorney Whitcombe met with representative from SC Services. As per signed<br />

contract, SC Services is following up on some "do not appear" tickets that were not paid. SC Services is<br />

collecting from cases that aren't incorporated in the Alliant program. This program has been successful<br />

in other counties.<br />

Binder reviewed State legislation; Circuit Clerk will pursue two of the new possibilities. Probation is<br />

already working.<br />

Debby Maddy from Village Profile of Elgin was present. John Thompson, Dixon Chamber of<br />

Commerce, requested that she attend this meeting. Dixon is overdue for new map. This will be a<br />

fundraiser for Dixon Chamber of Commerce. Dixon map is on one side and <strong>County</strong> on other side.


Everything is on Dixon website. KSB has purchased the front page. Each link can have a sponsor. For<br />

government link, <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> has first option on cornerstone ad. (This good for 3 years, maps 5000<br />

copies to Chamber and 5000 distributed elsewhere) including 95 free copies to <strong>County</strong>.<br />

Business size ads: $445. Ad recommended for <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>County</strong> is $1800 (nonnally $2195) for full color.<br />

This is a discounted price, and gives <strong>County</strong> "ownership" of the government link. She is leaving<br />

infonnation on other prices. Discussion will be continued later in the meeting.<br />

Binder addressed group to set record straight. He has been getting questions regarding Circuit Clerk's<br />

Office. Previously, the Circuit Clerk had 4 supervisory positions with salaries comparable to all other<br />

employees with $1000 additional pay given to the 4 employees paid from a circuit clerk fund.<br />

One person will now be Chief Deputy. This person received same percentage raise as other employees:<br />

$1,000. Person now gives up the $1000 "bonus"; $3000 additional pay for chief deputy is in line with<br />

all other chief deputies.<br />

The Capital Projects Fund presently has a balance of$3,752,506.89. Binder would like to propose that a<br />

$2,000,000 principle reduction be made. This will reduce the amortization from 8 years to 5 ~ years.<br />

Would save $556,295 over projected cost ofloan.<br />

Binder read an emergency appropriation to move $2,000,000 from Capital Projects Cash Account to<br />

Transfer Out to prepay on loan principle. Motion to approve, seconded by Shippert; carried.<br />

Emergency appropriation to move $240,651.35 from Capital Projects Cash Account to Transfer Out to<br />

make quarterly loan payment. Motion by pay by Hummel, seconded by Nicholson; carried.<br />

Request from Sheriff to transfer $836 from <strong>County</strong> General to Sheriffs part-time for reimbursement of<br />

Inmate Work Detail.<br />

Blackhawk Hills RC&D has requested first half of their appropriation; this will be processed.<br />

Nicholson addressed issue of very small claims coming through such as phone bills under $5.00. Could<br />

a check for perhaps $30 be made to phone company - in essence paying ahead. John Fritts will ask<br />

auditor ifthis is legal to do.<br />

Return to map issue. Three committee members would rather spend money to improve website. Two<br />

think county should be linked. <strong>County</strong> money is given to support LCIDA and link should be requested.<br />

Following assessment by Properties Chair and Chris Henkel, some old carpeting should be replaced in<br />

Courts Building. Entire project would be around $20,000. Project is coming in close to budget. This<br />

would be an appropriate expense as part of renovation of old part. The carpeting is 22 years old, looked<br />

bad before renovation and worse with construction and in contract to the new. Properties and<br />

maintenance will pursue this.<br />
