City Council Meeting Minutes - Final January 25, 2022



 22-0046 Public Hearing Regarding the Execution of an Annexation Agreement
 Providing for PDD Planned Development District zoning for the territory
 which may be Annexed to the City of Aurora located at the northwest
 corner of Sunrise Road and Meridian Road in DuPage County, Aurora
 Illinois 60563 (related to Legistar item 21-0923)
 Mayor Irvin called the public hearing to order. The following speakers were heard for
 the purpose of public comment on this item:

 First speaker was Mr. John Trapp, 4S371 Meridian Rd., Naperville, IL. Mr. Trapp
 spoke regarding the proposed entrance to Meridian, the truck traffic on the road near
 him in addition to a discussion regarding the proximity of the building to his home. Mr.
 Trapp distributed Exhibit 1 - a map of the area.

 Mr. Jim Wittneben, 4S300 Meadow Rd., Naperville, IL. Mr. Wittneben spoke regarding
 the roads being 21 ft wide without sidewalks. Kids are playing on the roads. It's a
 neighborhood that was quaint until the warehouse on the other side of the pond. There
 is a gate that stops traffic from coming into the neighborhood that staff has said will
 disappear. Mr. Wittneben also spoke about the possible increase in employee traffic,
 a need for a fence to keep light pollution and noise pollution down. Mr. Wittneben
 asked for these issues that are needed to be addressed.

 Mr. Boyd Ingemunson, attorney, spoke on behalf of the homeowners. Asking Council
 to review the history since 1976 when the zoning ordinance was applied initially.
 Zoning ORI. Roadways. No through traffic, keep the gate. Proposing to shift footprint
 of the building to the north and move the parking to the south. Some
 accommodations have been made and the residents are grateful. Petitioner should
 make reasonable accommodations. Would like it to be reworked to appease the
 neighbors and not apply a 46 year old zoning ordinance. Reconsider agreement and
 zoning. Table it to allow additional changes to be made.

 Mr. Robert Jungels, 4S366 Meadow Rd., Naperville, IL, spoke regarding the property
 that is east on the other side of the road. Difficult for that person to sell their home to
 have someone look into a warehouse and to see the warehouse traffic. Wasn't
 designated as industrial in 1976 had no intention of making this anything but
 residential in the Butterfield Development PDD. Water runoff and water retention pond
 areas. Willoughby Manner currently a great neighborhood. Asking to take a look at
 what a large building would do to their neighborhood.

 Ms. Mary Peterson, 4S271 Meadow Rd., Naperville, IL spoke regarding the rezoning
 request Naperville received last year. Naperville did rezone the property. Ms. Paterson
 also spoke about her residential neighborhood and the need to keep the gate up to
 separate their neighborhood from potentially two warehouses.

 Mr. John Phillipchuck spoke on behalf of the Petitioners. He mentioned the extensive
 landscape plan proposed and that three quarters of the property are already annexed to
 the City of Aurora. South of Sunrise, those residents are already prepared to sell their
 properties for future development. Entrance is needed on Ferry Road. Unknown how
 many users will be in the building, probably 2. There will be a main entrance with
 glass windows. Southern entrance will be moved north, cars in the parking lot will not
 shine into Mr. Trapp's home. They have submitted plans for improvement to the Aurora
 side of Meridian. Stormwater management will follow Kane, DuPage and City of Aurora
 standards. Sidewalks will be added to the area. They have tried to take into account

City of Aurora Page 3
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final January 25, 2022

 and make accommodations. Asking Council to vote favorably and to approve the
 annexation agreement.

 Jill Morgan, Planning, mentioned they worked with City of Aurora's Engineering team to
 move the sanitary sewer to the North to keep existing trees along the properties to the
 South.

 Alderman Bugg asked for additional information regarding the fence at the west end of
 Sunrise.

 Jill Morgan spoke regarding the removal of the gate - snow removal/plowing/no
 turnaround/safety issue with having a gate in the middle of the road. Alderman Bugg
 asked if the gate sits 15 feet east of Frieder Lane. Jill said there are 2 gates; one
 closer to Frieder and the other closer to the proposed new access. Both gates will be
 removed.

 Franco to close the Public Hearing. The motion carried by roll call vote and
