  Speaker 1: pre annexation agreement because even though the site is not
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: contiguous to Yorkville's current boundaries. It is within its one
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: point five mile planning boundary. Such an agreement would have
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: given the city more control over the development's layout. A
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: pre agreement would become enacted once the property becomes contiguous
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: with the City of Yorkville. The developers have requested the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: county rezone the land from agricultural to heavy industrial. The
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: site is currently used as a construction, cleaning and demolition
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: debris facility. Before the nineteen seventies, the site was used
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: for gravel extraction and mining operations. The gravel pits left
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: over from the mining have been slowly filled in over
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the decades. The County is expected to approve the rezoning
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: by the end of the month. The project proposal will
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: come back before the Yorkville City Council when a more
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: drawn out site plan is develop The city can still
• 2:02

• 2:09
  Speaker 1: submit a development site plan to the county for final approval.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: The city council seemed open to the proposal during a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: recent meeting, eager to see a final site plan proposal.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: The developers currently own heavy industrial properties to the east
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and north of the proposed parking facility site, including a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: concrete business off of Beechery Road. The developers said they
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: would not be requesting utilities from Yorkville and already have
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a well for water on the property. Like many other
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: developments in the Eldmain corridor, the parking facility project would
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: require another amendment to Yorkville's twenty sixteen Comprehensive Plan. The
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: city recently approved several amendments to the plan after already
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: approving the industrial projects. The city's twenty sixteen Comprehensive Plan

• 3:07
  Speaker 1: envisioned transitioning three thousand acres along the El Domain Corridor
• 3:11

  Speaker 1: city's tax revenues.
