She stated along with the new tenant, there will be renovations to the property to include a new circle drive and 10 space parking lot off E. Garden Street. She mentioned the new parking lot will be primarily used for DeKalb CUSD #428 staff and Barb Food Mart patrons. Ms. Carson advised students and employees with the therapeutic day school will be accessing the property from E. Taylor Street and traffic from E. Garden Street will be limited. Principal Planner Dan Olson went through the staff report dated 2-11-21. He advised the City of DeKalb previously approved a special use permit to allow a private therapeutic day school on the subject site. He noted the Menta Group is a non-profit social service organization that serves students with special needs that require varying levels of therapeutic support. He stated the School District reached out to Menta Group to open a school in the DeKalb area for children with disabilities. He mentioned, due to COVID-19, the project was put on hold since their approval last March. Mr. Olson said the Menta Group is temporarily operating out of 1600 E. Lincoln Hwy with 8-10 students on site and 25 remotely. Mr. Olson stated the School District will be adding a one-way access drive and 10-space parking lot off E. Garden Street, but the main access will still be off E. Taylor Street. He advised all student and bus traffic will be from E. Taylor Street and the 10-space parking lot off E. Garden Street will be for School District staff, Barb Food Mart patrons, and visitors. Mr. Olson mentioned four trees will be removed from the north side of the subject site to accommodate the parking lot and access drive. He noted along with the site improvements, the City Engineer advised a new water service line will be connected to the building and a fire hydrant will be installed southwest of the school building. Mr. Olson stated there will be approximately 60-80 students, 25 Menta Staff members, and five School District staff on site during the week.

Mr. Olson advised a Citizen Response Form was received from Connie and Steve Boyden, of 821 Roosevelt Court, indicating they would like to see more specifics regarding the proposal before making a decision. They had concerns regarding the new access off E. Garden St. and drainage. Mr. Olson said City staff contacted the Boyden’s and explained who would be using the access off Garden Street and noted a stormwater plan has been submitted to provide proper drainage per City regulations. He noted the Boyden’s were pleased with the City’s response. Chair Maxwell gave the public an opportunity to speak. Frances Clucas, of 405 S 9th Street, advised she had concerns with the new parking lot in the front. She stated she enjoys walking in the neighborhood and does not want to see a parking lot there. She added there has never been a lot of traffic off E. Garden Street and doesn’t know why they need an additional parking lot. She questioned if the four trees that were being removed will be replaced. Tammy Carson advised they received comments from other community members who had concerns regarding additional street parking on E. Garden Street when the school opens. She advised the parking lot will keep cars off E. Garden St., add handicap accessibility to the front of the building, as well as parking for the Barb Food Mart, School District staff, and visitors. She added, even prior to this project, the School District was planning on removing trees on the north side of the lot due to disease. Ms. Clucas questioned if there will be any green space remaining on the north side of the property once the access drive and parking lot are added. Ms. Carson advised there will still be a large amount of green space between and on both sides of the access drive. Ms. Clucas asked what happened to the bricks at the old playground (Barbland) that were dedicated to donators. Ms. Carson advised the playground is owned and managed by the Park District and they would have overseen the bricks. She mentioned she would contact the Park District and get back to Ms. Clucas. Planning and Zoning Commission February 16, 2021 Page 4 of 7 Chair Maxwell gave Commission members an opportunity to speak. Mr. Wright asked what the relationship is between the therapeutic school and the School District. Ms. Carson advised they have no vested interest in Menta Group; however, several DeKalb students are currently bused to their academy in Aurora. She stated by bringing Menta Group to DeKalb, they can keep their students in the community. She noted approximately 30-40 DeKalb students would be attending Menta Group and the property can accommodate approximately 80 students. Mr. Wright inquired when the school will open. Ms. Carson advised renovations will begin on March 8th and continue until July 15th. She stated the school will look to open in August for students. Ms. O’Flaherty moved the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of an amended site plan approved by Ordinance 2020-015 in order to add an access drive from E. Garden Street, a 10-space parking lot on the north side of the building and other improvements as shown on the site plans dated 1-19-21 labeled as Exhibit A (3 sheets) prepared by Arc Design Resources, Inc. and the floor plan/dumpster enclosure plan dated 1-19-21 labeled as Exhibit B prepared by Richard L. Johnson Architects as provided in the staff report, and subject to the following conditions: 1. There shall be no student drop-off or bus traffic along the access drive from E. Garden Street. All school bus and student drop off shall occur along the south side off the subject site off E. Taylor Street. 2. The petitioner shall re-stripe the parking lot, resurface the sidewalks, replace the parking lot signage, screen the trash dumpster, provide a new fire service line and fire hydrant in compliance with the Municipal Code and as shown on Exhibits A and B. Mr. Wright seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken. Mr. Klein – Yes, Ms. O’Flaherty – Yes, Mr. Becker – Yes, Mr. Wright - Yes, Mr. McMahon – Yes, Ms. Pena-Graham – Yes, Chair Maxwell – Yes. Motion Passed 7-0-0. 2. Public Hearing – A petition by Midland Trust Company requesting approval of a zoning map amendment from the “HI” Heavy Industrial District to the “PD-I” Planned Development – Industrial District and the First Amendment to the Planned Development Agreement approved by Ordinance 2019-002 for a Planning and Zoning Commission February 16, 2021 Page 5 of 7 36.34 acre site located along the north side of Gurler Road, approximately 500 feet east of S. 1st Street. Jim Planey, owner of the subject site, advised the rezoning will offer more opportunities for development on the property, including the potential for a solar garden by SunVest Solar. Principal Planner Dan Olson went over the staff report dated 2-11-21. He noted the subject property is split into 3 different lots. He advised City Council passed Ordinance 2019-002 in 2019 which conditionally approved the rezoning of the subject site from the “HI” Heavy Industrial District to the “PD-I” Planned Development Industrial District. He stated the rezoning was contingent upon the approval of a solar energy generation facility through the State within one year. He mentioned in January 2020, City council approved a Resolution granting a one-year extension per the request of the applicant. He added SunVest Solar did not receive approval in 2020 and the ordinance did not allow for any further extensions. Mr. Olson mentioned the Mr. Planey desires to have more flexibility for lots 1 and 2, as the current agreement restricts lots 1 and 2 to a solar energy generation facility only. He stated the rezoning will allow more development options for lots 1 and 2, while still allowing a solar facility on any of the three lots. Mr. Olson stated the amended development agreement will remove the one- year time limit for State approval of a solar facility, as well as allow a solar facility or any permitted or special use in the “HI” District on all three lots. He advised the preliminary plat and plans approved for the solar facility will remain valid for two years after approval with the ability for the City Council to grant a one-year extension. Mr. Olson noted the City received a comment from Elizabeth Beller, representing Oak Properties located at 2805 S. 1st St. (west side of S. 1st St., across from Harvestore Dr.) indicating support of the rezoning. Chair Maxwell gave the public an opportunity to speak. Gary Lothson, owner of the neighboring property to the south, mentioned he attended the hearing for fact finding purposes and advised the City’s Comprehensive Plan marked his property as residential and was wondering how that fits with a neighboring “HI” zoning. Mr. Olson advised the Comprehensive Plan is being updated in 2021 and would probably be removing many residential designations including to the south of the subject site. Chair Maxwell gave the Commission an opportunity to speak. Planning and Zoning Commission February 16, 2021 Page 6 of 7 Ms. O’Flaherty clarified the petition is mainly for a modification to the agreement which was already in place and will allow all three parcels to have the solar garden and the uses and special uses in the “HI” Heavy Industrial District. Mr. Becker questioned if there is any activity at the State level regarding the solar garden. Bill French, with SunVest Solar, advised there are discussions going on at the State and noted the project was part of the Future Energy Jobs Act, which was successful, but all funding has already been allocated. He added the Act functioned on a lottery system, and unfortunately their project wasn’t chosen. He is hopeful the State will pass legislation to amend the Future Energy Jobs Act or create a similar program. Mr. Klein moved the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of a zoning map amendment from the “HI” Heavy Industrial District to the “PD- I” Planned Development – Industrial District for the subject site and the approval of the First Amendment to the Planned Development Agreement approved by Ordinance 2019-002 as indicted on Exhibit A to the staff report. Mr. Wright seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken. Mr. Klein – Yes, Ms. O’Flaherty – Yes, Mr. Becker – Yes, Mr. Wright - Yes, Mr. McMahon – Yes, Ms. Pena-Graham – Yes, Chair Maxwell – Yes. Motion Passed 7-0-0. G. REPORTS Mr. Olson advised there are two hearing scheduled for the March 1 st Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. He stated the first is a special use request by US Cellular for equipment upgrades at the building at 507 E. Taylor St. He noted a special use was previously approved by City Council, but work was never completed. He noted the special use has since expired and they have to re-apply. He added staff has requested US Cellar add reflective tape to their equipment, similar to what was done by T-Mobile at the same location. Mr. Olson said the second hearing involves text amendments by the City to clear up the language in the TFR and MFR Districts. He noted the amendment will allow existing properties to apply for a special use if they don’t meet the minimum lot area requirements. Finally, Mr. Olson mentioned the next City Council meeting (February 22) will include discussions on the Nehring Electrical parking lot (1030 E. Locust St.). He advised there have been several concerns from citizens regarding the truck and semi traffic along E. Locust St. He noted the project will be up for second reading during the City Council meeting.

Planning and Zoning Commission January 19, 2021 Page 2 of 4 Karl Camillucci, representing Goldframe LLC (Facebook), advised they are petitioning for approval of a plat of resubdivision, an amendment to the final development plan and an amendment to the development standards that were approved with this project last year. He said, fundamentally, the project proposal has not changed. He mentioned the subject site includes a substation that will be operated by ComEd, which will deliver electricity to the neighboring data center. Mr. Camillucci noted when the project was originally approved, ComEd did not have specific details regarding the exact size, design, or location of the substation. He advised the resubdivision will create a new lot, which will be sold to ComEd for their substation. He stated an access road to the substation will be added along the southern edge of the Goldframe LLC property to the Crego Road turnaround. Mr. Camillucci stated Goldframe LLC requested an amendment to the development standards regarding setbacks for paved areas and buildings to accommodate the substation and access road to the substation. He noted only the access road and substation will be excluded from the setback requirements established in the original development agreement. Mr. Camillucci said there were adjacent residents concerned the setback requirements would be changing for Route 23, which he clarified they would not be. Principal Planner Dan Olson went through the staff report dated January 14, 2021. He advised the plans between Goldframe LLC and ComEd have been refined regarding the location and size of the substation. He noted the petitioner is requesting a resubdivision to create a separate lot for the ComEd substation, which will be accessed by the Crego Road turnaround. He mentioned this access will be gated and will not be accessible by the public. Mr. Olson said the final development plan was adjusted to meet the proposed resubdivision and substation layout. He stated the petitioner is also requesting an amendment to the building setback requirements along the south property line, which is currently 150 feet for buildings. He noted the ComEd property line will be approximately 25 feet from the south property line and a small utility building will be approximately 75 feet away. Mr. Olson pointed out the building setbacks for the data center or any setbacks along Route 23 or Gurler Road will not be changed. Mr. Olson stated the City received the following comments from residents that live on the west side of Route 23, near Gurler Road. Jim and Dawn Elliott, of 17933 State Route 23, indicated by e-mail concerns regarding the setback and berm along Route 23. Mr. Olson noted the Elliott’s Planning and Zoning Commission January 19, 2021 Page 3 of 4 were advised the setback and berm along Route 23 would not be changing from the original development agreement. David and Melony Zimmerman, of 17821 State Route 23, noted by e-mail concerns regarding the setback along Route 23 and utility companies working on their property. Mr. Olson noted they were advised the setback along Route 23 would not be changing and utility companies/surveyors can conduct necessary work on their property if it doesn’t cause damage. Paul Knigge, of 3255 State Route 23, indicated by e-mail concerns of noise and truck traffic. Mr. Olson responded that Mr. Knigge was advised there will be truck traffic due to the construction of the Facebook site, but most of the traffic will be using Peace Road. Chair Maxwell gave the public an opportunity to speak. There was none. Chair Maxwell gave Commission members an opportunity to speak. Jerry Wright questioned if the substation is larger than what was originally submitted. Mr. Olson advised the substation is approximately the same size or just slightly larger but moved farther south to accommodate the Facebook development. Mr. Wright questioned if there will be any other changes with the project in the future. Mr. Olson advised there could be future changes, but it would have to go through a public hearing if it’s significant enough. Mr. Camillucci advised there were no current plans for any additional changes, but with the size of the project, it is very possible. Chair Maxwell questioned if the landscaping or aesthetics have changed from the first time the project was submitted. Mr. Olson responded the general aesthetics have not changed for the subject site. Mr. Wright moved the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Final Plat of Subdivision of DeKalb Subdivision – Phase 2 (3 sheets) dated 12-21-20 prepared by Jacob and Hefner Associates as shown on Exhibit A; approval of an amendment to Ordinance 2020-026 regarding the Final Plan dated 12-28-20 as shown on Exhibit B and an amendment to the Development Standards in Ordinance 2020-026 as shown on Exhibit C.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT February 11, 2021 TO: DeKalb Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Dan Olson, Principal Planner RE: Amend Special Use Permit for a Private Therapeutic Day School (Menta Group - DeKalb Community Unit School District #428) I. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Purpose: Add an access drive, 10-space parking lot to north side of lot and other improvements B. Location/Size: 900 E. Garden St./4 acres C. Petitioner: DeKalb Community Unit School District #428 D. Existing Zoning: “TFR” Two-Family Residential District E. Existing Land Use: Vacant elementary school with limited storage area F. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: North: “SFR2”; Single-Family Residential South: “LI”; Single-Family Residential East: “SFR2” and “TFR”; Park and Single- Family Residential West: “SFR2” and “TFR”; Single-Family Residential and Two-Family Residential G. Comprehensive Plan Designation: Institutional II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS On March 9, 2020 the City Council approved Ordinance 2020-015 which approved a special use permit for a private therapeutic day school (The Menta Group) at the former Chesebro Elementary School at 900 E. Garden St. DeKalb Community Unit School District #428 is proposing to amend the site plan approved with the special use to add a one-way access drive and 10-space parking lot to the north side of lot and other improvements. The site plan attached to the special use permit from last March did not show an access drive or parking area along the north side of the site (E. Garden St.), so an amendment and public hearing was required. The Menta Group is a non-profit social service organization that serves students with special needs that require varying levels of therapeutic support. The School District reached out to The Menta Group to open a school in the DeKalb area for children with disabilities. The therapeutic day school in the building will allow the School District to have their students closer to home. Due to COVID-19 the project was put on hold since their approval last March. Menta is temporarily using a 3,500 sq. ft. tenant space at 1600 E. Lincoln Hwy. (Pen’s Point Market) for 8-10 students in person and 25 remotely. The former Chesebro School has been closed since 2011 and has been used for storage purposes by the School District since then. The Menta Group will lease the building from the School District and occupy approximately 80% of the building, with the remaining space used for storage, the Barb Food Mart, and space for up to five School District staff members. A new roof was added to the building last summer and interior improvements are planned to accommodate the therapeutic programs. Ordinance 2020-015 contained conditions that required the school to re-stripe the parking lot, resurface the sidewalks, replace the parking lot signage and provide an enclosure around the trash dumpster. The applicant will be performing these improvements and additional ones and have provided plans showing the proposed work. Planned exterior improvements include adding a one- way access drive and 10 parking spaces on the north side of the lot. The 10 spaces will be angle parking and will include one handicap space. Entrance to the doors on the north side of the building will be secured. An eight-foot-wide walkway will be added along the one-way drive. A total of four (4) trees will be removed on the north side of the lot to accommodate the access drive and parking lot with 11 trees being saved in this area. For the area south of the building, planned improvements include resurfacing and restriping the parking lot, resurfacing the sidewalk around the west side of the building, adding a new trash dumpster enclosure and replacing parking lot signage. In addition, a new fire service line will be connected to the building and a fire hydrant will be installed just to the southwest of the school. Construction would start as early as March 1 with an anticipated end date of mid-July. The therapeutic programs by The Menta Group would start shortly thereafter. The Menta Group will serve approximately 60-80 students in the facility in grades K-12. There will be about 25 Menta staff members in the building during operating hours. Operating hours will be Monday-Friday 8:30 am to 2:00 pm for students and 8:00 am to 3:30 pm for staff during the months of September through June. For the summer months, June-August, the hours will be 8:00 am to 12:00 pm for the students and 8:00 am to 3:30 Page |2 pm for staff. There may be some occasional after-hours activities, however they should not last past 8:00 pm. The School District provided a brief traffic impact analysis, which is included in the Commission’s background material. One a daily basis, there will be five (5) School District employees working at the school who will park on the north side of the building. Twice a week on Wednesday, Thursday and two Sundays a month, there will be six (6) to eight (8) Food Mart volunteers at the school who will park on the south side of the building. The Barb Food Mart will be open once a week on Thursday’s from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM. It’s anticipated most volunteers and shoppers will use the parking lot off E. Taylor St., however some patrons may use the north parking area. Twice a week, there will be a box truck delivering food to the Food Mart and will use the E. Garden St. entrance. Randomly throughout the week, there will be School District and Menta Group visitors who may use both entrances. Traffic will be very limited on the weekends. There will be no student drop-off or bus traffic along the access drive from E. Garden St. All school buses and student drop off will occur along the south side off the lot off E. Taylor St. III. PUBLIC INPUT The City received a Citizen Response Form from Connie and Steve Boyden of 821 Roosevelt Ct. indicting they would like to see more specifics regarding the proposal before making a decision. They had concerns regarding the new access off E. Garden St. and drainage. City staff contacted the Boyden’s and explained who would be using the access off Garden St. and noted a stormwater plan has been submitted to provide proper drainage for the parking lot/access drive per the City’s regulations. The Boyden’s were pleased with the response. A copy of the Form is provided in the Commission’s back up material. IV. RECOMMENDATION Sample Motion: Based on the submitted petition and testimony presented, I move the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of an amended site plan approved by Ordinance 2020-015 in order to add an access drive from E.

Max Maxwell, Chair DeKalb Planning and Zoning Commission COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT February 11, 2021 TO: DeKalb Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Dan Olson, Principal Planner RE: Zoning Map Amendment from the “HI” District to the “PD-I” District and First Amendment to the SunVest Solar Development Agreement – North side of Gurler Road, east of S. 1st St. (Midland Trust Company - James Planey) I. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Purpose: Rezone subject site to the “PD-I” District and amend Ordinance 2019-002 to; 1) remove the time restriction for State approval of a solar energy generation facility; 2) allow the permitted and special uses in the “HI” District on Lots 1, 2 and 3 including a solar energy facility as shown on the approved plans in the Ordinance B. Location/Size: North side of Gurler Rd., 500 feet east of S. 1st St./36.34 acres C. Petitioner: Midland Trust Company – James Planey D. Existing Zoning: “HI” Heavy Industrial E. Existing Land Use: Agriculture F. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: North: “HI”; Stormwater Facility, Warehouse South: “A1” (DeKalb County); Agriculture East: “HI”; Distribution Center West: “A1(DeKalb County); Single-Family, Agriculture G. Comprehensive Plan Designation: Light Industrial II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS On January 28, 2019 the City Council passed Ordinance 2019-002, which conditionally approved the rezoning of the subject site from the “HI” Heavy Industrial District to the “PD- I” Planned Development Industrial District. The 36.34-acre site is located along the north side of Gurler Road, approximately 500 feet east of S. 1st and has agricultural uses. The rezoning was contingent upon the approval within one year of a solar energy generation facility on Lots 1 and 2 (plan attached) through the State. The applicant (SunVest Solar) did not receive State approval within the year. On January 27, 2020 the City Council approved a Resolution granting a one-year extension per the request of the applicant. SunVest Solar did not receive approval again in 2020 as the State process was delayed due to COVID-19. The Ordinance did not allow for any further extension requests. The owner of the property, Jim Planey, desires to have more flexibility for Lots 1 and 2 to be able to develop a use allowed in the HI District. The current agreement restricts the use of Lots 1 and 2 to a solar energy generation facility only. The owner also wants to keep the option open of having a solar facility on any of the three lots if its approved at the State level. The amended development agreement proposes language that will remove the one-year time limit for State approval of a solar energy generation facility. In addition, the amended language will permit a solar energy generation facility on any of the three lots as well as any permitted or special use in the “HI” District. The preliminary plat and plans approved for the solar facility in the 2019 Ordinance will remain valid for two years after the approval of the amendments. The amended language allows the City Council to grant a one-year extension. The zoning standard exceptions to the UDO regulations for the solar facility granted in the 2019 Ordinance are still valid as well as revisions required for the plans. The design and appearance provisions remain in the agreement as well as the maintenance provisions, fees and water main cost responsibilities. The proposed amendments also remove sections of the original development agreement that are already covered in the Municipal Code and will make the agreement easier to follow and more efficient. III. PUBLIC INPUT The City received an e-mail from Elizabeth Beller representing Oak Properties who indicated their support of the rezoning request. Oak Properties own the property at 2805 S. 1st St. (west side of S. 1st St., across from Harvestore Dr.). IV. RECOMMENDATION Sample Motion: Based on the submitted petition and testimony presented, I move the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of a zoning map amendment from the “HI’ Heavy Industrial District to the “PD-I” Planned Development – Page |2 Industrial District for the subject site and the approval of the First Amendment to the Planned Development Agreement approved by Ordinance 2019-002 as indicted on Exhibit A to the staff report. Page |3 EXHIBIT A FIRST AMENDMENT TO SUNVEST SOLAR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF DEKALB This First Amendment to the Sunvest Solar Planned Unit Development Agreement with the City of DeKalb (the “First Amendment”), by and between the City of DeKalb (the “City”), an Illinois home rule municipal corporation, and Midland IRA, Inc., FBO James Planey, ROTH #1633257, (the “Owner”), who are collectively referred to as the “Parties”, state as follows: RECITALS WHEREAS, Owner is the owner of approximately 36.34 contiguous acres of real property situated near the northeast intersection of South First Street and Gurler Road in the City, which is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Property”); and WHEREAS, on January 28, 2019, the City’s corporate authorities duly approved the Sunvest Solar Planned Unit Development Agreement with the Owner (the “Agreement”); and WHEREAS, the Agreement provided for the rezoning of the Property from the “HI” Heavy Industrial District to the "PD-I" Planned Development Industrial District for a Community Solar Garden (the “Rezoning”) contingent upon the Owner obtaining required approvals from the State of Illinois for the installation of the solar energy facilities by January 28, 2020; and WHEREAS, on January 27, 2020, the City’s corporate authorities duly approved Resolution 2020-012 to extend the deadline for the conditional Rezoning of the Property to January 28, 2021; and WHEREAS, the Agreement further provided that if the Owner failed to give the City notice of obtaining required approvals from the State of Illinois for the installation of the solar energy facilities within the time allowed by the Agreement, then the Agreement shall be subject to voiding by the City and reversion to the previously existing zoning classification after the conduct of a due process hearing in accordance with Section XII(J) of the Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Parties stipulate and agree that the Owner failed to obtain the required approvals from the State of Illinois for the installation of the solar energy facilities within the time allowed by the Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Parties desire to void and amend the Agreement to remove the time restriction for State approval of a solar energy generation facility and to rezone the Property to allow a planned industrial development and associated improvements, as well as all of the permitted, special, and accessory uses in the “HI” Heavy Industrial District; and NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties agree as follows: Page 1 of 10 SECTION 1: Recitals. The above recitals to this First Amendment are true, correct, material, adopted and incorporated herein as Section 1 to this First Amendment. SECTION 2: Voiding of the Agreement. The Parties stipulate and agree that: (1) the Agreement shall be void due to the Owner’s undisputed failure to obtain the required approvals from the State of Illinois for the installation of the solar energy facilities within the time allowed by the Agreement without requiring a due process hearing in accordance with Section XII(J) of the Agreement; and (2) the Owner waives any and all claims regarding any entitlement to a due process hearing to void the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary, the Parties agree and stipulate that the hearing before the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission on February 16, 2021 shall satisfy any and all claims of Owner’s entitlement to a due process hearing to void the Agreement. Furthermore, Owner agrees to hereby waive, release, hold harmless, defend and indemnify the City and the City’s elected officials, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, causes of action, damages, and attorney’s fees arising out of, related to, or regarding the Agreement and the voiding of the Agreement including, but not limited, the adequacy and provision of a due process hearing to void the Agreement. SECTION 3: First Amendment. The Agreement shall be restated and amended as follows: A. Zoning: Contemporaneous to the adoption and execution of this First Amendment, the City shall approve an ordinance approving the rezoning for the Property to "PD-I" Planned Development Industrial District to: (1) allow for the use and development of a solar energy generation facility, contingent upon Owner obtaining all of the required approvals from the State of Illinois for the installation of said solar energy facility and from the City for the Decommissioning Plan; (2) allow for all of the permitted, special, and accessory uses in the “HI” Heavy Industrial District as provided by the City’s Unified Development Ordinance (the “UDO”); and (3) approve of the preliminary plat of subdivision dated 11-9-18 prepared by Wendler Engineering (the “Preliminary Plat”), the landscape plan dated 11-9-18 prepared by the Lannert Group (the “Landscape Plan”), and the plans dated 11-6-18 prepared by New Energy Equity (the “Plans”), all of which shall be collectively attached hereto, incorporated herein, and referred to as “Group Exhibit B” or the “Development Plans”; provided, however, that the approval of the Development Plans is contingent upon: (a) Owner’s revision of the Development Plans in accordance with the below-mentioned “Revisions to Development Plans”; and (b) the below- mentioned “Design and Appearance Provisions”. The zoning for the Property approved pursuant to this First Amendment shall remain in effect from and after the adoption of the zoning approvals unless an amendment or change is sought by Owner, or the then fee owner of the Property, or of any portion of the Property, or as otherwise provided by law for the amendment of zoning classifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Parties agree that if the City re-defines or amends the zoning classification applicable to the City, the regulations established by such re-defined or amended zoning classification shall not be more restrictive than, and shall not impose greater limitations on the development, use, or enjoyment of the Property than that allowed under the zoning classification provided for by this First Amendment. Page 2 of 10 Except as may otherwise be provided by this First Amendment, any development of the Property shall conform to the UDO’s requirements and all other applicable provisions of the City’s Municipal Code including, but not limited to, appropriate site, engineering, planned development, landscape plan, and building permits, reviews, and approvals by City Staff, the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission, and the City’s corporate authorities. Pursuant to Section 5.13.14 of the UDO, no approval of a final development plan shall be valid for a period longer than two (2) years from the date of approval unless within such period a building permit is obtained and construction of a development's foundation is commenced; provided, however, that the City Council may grant a one (1) year extension upon written request of the original applicant if the application submitted is substantially the same as the initially-approved application. B. Exceptions to the UDO’s Requirements: During the period of time in which the approval of the Development Plans is valid under this First Amendment, Owner shall be granted the following exceptions to the express requirements of the UDO: 1. Exception from Article 7.06 to allow a seven-foot-high chain link fence around the perimeter of the two solar gardens (Lots 1 and 2 on the Preliminary Plat) in the location shown on the Development Plans. Alternatively, at the discretion of the City Manager, at the time of final plat approval, the seven-foot-high chain link fence shall be excluded and instead an eight-foot-tall deer fence shall be utilized instead, in a configuration and design acceptable to the City Manager. 2. Exception from Article 10.05 to not require interior lighting for the solar gardens relative to Lots 1 and 2 on the Preliminary Plat. 3. Exception from Article 12.04 to not require landscaping around the solar gardens (Lots 1 and 2 on the Preliminary Plat), except as shown on the Landscape Plan or any amendments thereto approved by the City Manager. 4. Exception from Article 9 to not require the extension of utilities and improvements when subdividing the property for the solar gardens (Lots 1 and 2 on the Preliminary Plat), except as outlined herein. C. Revisions to Development Plans: Prior to the City’s approval of the Development Plans, Owner shall revise the Development Plans (the “Revisions to Development Plans”) as follows: 1. The labeling of the ROW dedication along Gurler Road and S. 1st St. along with the associated setbacks need to be coordinated and consistent between the Preliminary Plat, the Landscape Plan, and the site plan. 2. The Preliminary Plat shall be revised to correctly indicate and label the 40-foot setback along Gurler Road and S. 1st St. as well as the 50-foot and 100-foot setbacks indicated along the west side of the site. The labeling of a 30-foot setback along Gurler Road shall be removed. 3. The site plan shall incorporate a note indicating that the developed solar farm Page 3 of 10 condition will have a net stormwater runoff that is either equal to the existing runoff or within the capacity of the City-owned detention pond to the north was designed to handle from the subject property. 4. Owner shall clarify on the Landscape Plan the extent of the prairie seed mix. The frontage along Gurler Road (outside of the fenced area) shall be planted with turf grass, as shall be mowed and not planted with the prairie seed mix. Appropriate plan notes shall be inserted subject to approval by the City Manager. 5. The Landscape Plan shall be modified to add tree protection fencing at the drip line of the existing tree line along the west property line during construction, and that there shall be no disruption to the existing tree line along the west property line. 6. A Final Plat, with all applicable certificates, shall be prepared and approved per the UDO standards prior to any application for construction permits on the Property. D. Design and Appearance Provisions: If a solar garden is not developed on the Property, the design and appearance of any structure proposed to be constructed on any portion of the Property shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Manager. If the City Manager refuses to approve of a given design or elevation, the Owner may appeal said determination to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a recommendation, and to the City Council for a final decision. E. Maintenance of the Property: The maintenance and operation of the Property shall comply with the City’s Municipal Code and all other applicable ordinances, regulations, and laws. The Property shall be managed, operated, and maintained with reasonable professional skill by appropriately trained personnel. Owner shall cooperate in good faith with the City to maintain the Property in compliance with the City’s Municipal Code. Owner agrees to: (1) install, maintain, and provide access to a “Knox Box” entry system on the Property’s primary building entrances for use by the City’s emergency responders; (2) allow the City’s law enforcement personnel access to any surveillance video footage operated on the Property for law enforcement purposes; and (3) allow an annual inspection of the Property’s common areas by the City’s Police Department, Fire Department, and Building Department for the purpose of confirming compliance with the City’s Municipal Code. Additionally, the Parties stipulate and agree that, if a solar generation facility is developed on the Property, portions of the Property are proposed to be maintained with prairie grass that may not strictly comply with the requirements of the City’s Property Maintenance Codes. Owner shall be permitted to install and maintain such prairie grass; provided, however, that Owner submits a maintenance plan for such areas in form and content acceptable to the City Manager (the “Prairie Grass Maintenance Plan”). Following the City Manager’s written approval of the Prairie Grass Maintenance Plan, Owner shall thereafter at all times comply with the approved prairie grass maintenance plan. If Owner fails to comply with the Prairie Grass Maintenance Plan, the City may terminate the Prairie Grass Maintenance Plan upon giving notice to the Owner, and thereafter, Owner shall comply with the then-current property maintenance provisions applicable to the Property. Prairie grass may only be maintained within the Property’s fenced-in areas that are Page 4 of 10 shown on the approved Development Plans as having prairie grass installation, and then only after actual installation of intentional prairie grass plantings. All other areas shall be maintained in accordance with the City’s property maintenance standards. Furthermore, Owner may continue the existing agricultural use and maintenance of the Property until a building permit is obtained and construction of the solar energy facility’s foundation is commenced. Owner shall employ reasonable measures and appropriate agronomic techniques to maintain the Property during times of agricultural use in accordance with best practices for site maintenance. F. Water Mains and Potable Water Supply: Owner shall have the right to connect to and use the City’s potable water system and mains upon payment of those capital, tap-on and user fees required by the then-current City ordinance or resolution. Tap-on / connection and capital fees shall be due at the time of building permit application. Said fees may be changed by the City from time to time in the City’s sole and absolute discretion, and Owner agrees to pay the amount as required by the City at the time such payment is due. Owner shall be responsible for constructing all on-site and off-site improvements necessary to connect to the Property and any development on the Property to the presently existing water mains and potable water supply of the City. Owner shall be exclusively responsible for the payment of all costs, expenses and charges associated with the design, construction and permitting of such improvements, including but not limited to, any security required by this First Amendment, the UDO, or applicable law, any permits required by the City, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or any other agency having jurisdiction, or any other costs whatsoever. At any time that Owner replaces any water mains on the Property at any point in the future, all water mains replaced shall be replaced with a water main of a size and configuration acceptable to the City. The Parties stipulate and agree that the Owner is required to extend water mains along both the First Street and Gurler Road right of way in order to extend the water mains to the end points of the Property and enable the orderly continuation of development in the City. However, the Parties stipulate and agree that the Development Plans will not require such extensions to be made at present, and that there is no presently pending development of property ‘downstream’ of the Property such that the extensions are immediately necessary. Accordingly, with respect to the water main extensions that may be required, the Parties stipulate and agree as follows: 1. With respect to Lots 1 and 2, Owner shall be responsible for the costs of extending water main from the existing terminus on Gurler Road to the westerly property line of the Property, in the Gurler Road right of way. The Parties acknowledge that the Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Cost (“EOPC”) for such improvement is $245,000.00 (calculated at $200 per lineal foot along 1,225 feet of frontage). Owner shall be responsible for paying one-half this sum (i.e., $122,500), which may be paid in one lump sum or may be paid in equal installments of $40,833.33 each over a 3-year period, with a payment in such amount due each year on the anniversary of the City’s approval of the first final plat for any portion of the Property. In the event that the City has a user of water (excluding a user on the Property) who wishes to connect to this watermain extension prior to the time that it is fully funded, the Owner shall have the option to either fully fund its portion of the extension (i.e., pay any unpaid portion of the one-half of the EOPC), or to continue making annual payments. If the Owner elects to continue to make annual payments, then the City Page 5 of 10 shall be entitled to permit the downstream user to construct the water main extension across the Property, and shall be entitled to approve of a recapture agreement obligating the Owner to reimburse the downstream user for 50% of the actual costs of installing the water main extension across the Property, less any payments previously made under this section, plus interest on the remaining, unpaid sum at a rate not exceeding the prime interest rate plus two percent (2%) per year, until such sum is paid in full (with the annual payments being made in the amount specified above (i.e., $40,833.33) until such sum is fully satisfied). The City shall deposit all amounts received by it under this subsection in an escrow pending completion of the construction of the improvements contemplated herein. Any funds remaining following construction shall be returned to the Owner. Should the City or any third party construct such water main, the funds within such escrow shall be utilized for the costs of designing, permitting and constructing such improvement. In the event that the City has a user of water on the Property, or that any use other than the solar generation use is proposed to be constructed on Lot 1 or 2, Owner shall be responsible for full installation and looping of water mains along Gurler Road and 1st Street, in a configuration reasonably acceptable to the City. 2. With respect to a water connection necessary to accommodate development on Lot 3, Owner shall be required to install a looped water main on the Property in a location, configuration and size acceptable to the City based upon the approved final engineering plans at the time of construction. The Parties acknowledge that this looped water main shall connect to the existing water main terminating at the southeastern corner of the Property, shall extend to the westerly boundary of the Property (if not to the South First Street right of way), and shall thereafter extend in a northerly direction to connect to existing water main at the northerly boundary of the Property. Should the Owner undertake this construction, the Owner may utilize the funding held in escrow under the preceding subsection, but shall be responsible for the entirety of costs incurred in constructing the improvement. The City shall reasonably collaborate with Owner in preparing and recording a recapture agreement entitling the Owner to recapture against the property located directly south of Gurler Road, for one-half of the costs of such portion of the water main extension that resides within the Gurler Road right of way. G. Fees: Owner shall pay all fees imposed under the City’s Municipal Code or this First Amendment in the amount and in the time provided therein. The Parties shall, at the time of payment of any required fee, cooperate to determine the amount of the fee due. The Parties acknowledge that the City does not presently have a building permit established for solar generation facilities. The Parties agree that, during the period of time in which the approval of the Development Plans is valid under this First Amendment, the building permit fee for the solar generation facilities shall be $6,000 for a facility of up to 2,000 kW AC, and $200 per each 100 kW over 2,000 kW. Said fee shall automatically increase by an amount equivalent to the applicable Consumer Price Index contemplated by Chapter 9 of the City Code, on an annual basis (without requirement of any notice to Owner). In the event that the City later adopts a revision to its Building Code that imposes an alternate fee schedule, the then-current schedule shall be utilized and such Building Code update shall supersede this First Amendment. The Parties further agree that the water main contribution fee contained within this First Amendment is specifically and uniquely attributable to the development of the Property; the Page 6 of 10 Owner participated in the calculation and reconciliation of said fee; and nether the Owner nor any successor hereby agree they will neither file any lawsuit nor take any other legal action challenging the imposition, collection, use, necessity enforceability, validity, or applicability of the fee, nor shall Owner pay any such fee under protest. The Parties acknowledge that there are no impact fees or land dedications due by virtue of the development of Lots 1 and 2 of the Property (other than with regard to easements and rights of way contemplated by the approved Development Plans). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Owner or the subsequent owners or developers of any portion of the Property shall be responsible for payment of all future fees, charges, and assessments relating to their use or modification of the Property including, but not limited to, building permit fees for remodeling of any structure on the development and similar fees. H. Decommissioning Plan: Should Owner provide the City with written notice that it has been approved for the construction of the solar energy generation facility, Owner shall, at the time of providing such notice, also provide a decommissioning plan for the Property (the “Decommissioning Plan”). The Decommissioning Plan shall be subject to approval by the City Manager. Owner’s failure to obtain approval of the Decommissioning Plan shall be The Decommissioning Plan shall contain the following requirements: (1) the Decommissioning Plan shall be triggered and complied with at any point that the solar panels are not actively generating energy being transmitted to the electrical grid for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or longer; (2) upon the occurrence of the first requirement, the Owner shall have six (6) months to comply with the Decommissioning Plan and to fully remove the solar energy generation facilities from the Property; (3) provisions for removal of all structures and foundations, restoration of soil and vegetation; (4) an engineer’s estimate of probable cost (EOPC) for the costs associated with decommissioning; (5) provision of sufficient security (i.e., a bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or escrow posting) in the form and content acceptable to the City Manager to secure the costs of decommissioning and site restoration. I. Indemnification: Owner and its agents, employees, officers, and contractors agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, expenses, costs, penalties, fines, and reasonable attorney’s fees relating to, arising out of, or regarding this First Amendment, and the construction, development, maintenance, and operation of the Property. J. Assignment: Owner may assign this First Amendment without City approval, but only in connection with its conveyance of all or any part of the Property, and upon said assignment and acceptance by an assignee, Owner shall have no further obligations hereunder as to the Property or that portion of the Property conveyed, but shall continue to be bound by this First Amendment, and shall retain the obligations created thereby with respect to any portion of the Property retained and not conveyed. If Owner or its successors sell a portion of the Property, the seller shall be deemed to have assigned to the purchaser any and all rights and obligations it may have under this First Amendment (excluding rights of recapture) which affect the portion of the Property sold or conveyed and thereafter the seller shall have no further obligations under this Agreement as it relates to the portion of the Property so conveyed, but any such seller shall retain any rights and obligations it may have under this First Amendment with respect to any part of the Property retained and not conveyed by such seller. The seller shall have the right to require the Page 7 of 10 purchaser to deposit with the City a replacement Letter of Credit, in a form reasonably acceptable to the City Manager, whereupon the City shall accept the replacement Letter of Credit in substitution of the seller's Letter of Credit. K.

(b) In the event of a material breach of this First Amendment, the parties agree that the party alleged to be in breach shall have thirty (30) calendar days after written notice of said breach to correct the same prior to the non-breaching party seeking a judicial remedy as provided for herein; provided, however, that said thirty (30) day period shall be extended if the defaulting party has commenced to cure said default and is diligently proceeding to cure the same.

(d) The failure of any party to this First Amendment to insist upon the strict and prompt performance of the terms, covenants, agreements, and conditions herein contained, or any of them, upon any other party imposed, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any party’s right thereafter to enforce any such term, covenant, agreement or condition, but the same shall continue in full force and effect. No action taken by any party to this First Amendment shall be deemed to constitute an election of remedies, and all remedies set forth in this First Amendment shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of any other remedy either set forth herein or available to any party at law or equity.
