Mayor Sass reported that the Village has received a request from the Huntley American Legion Post 673
(Legion) to hold an Octoberfest event on Saturday, October 20, 2018. The Legion would like to hold the
event within the Legion and outside in the new Honor Garden. The Legion is requesting permission to
allow patrons to take their alcoholic beverages out on to Coral Street to sit in the tents (2 – 20’ X 30’
tents) that will be in place for the Village sponsored Trick or Treat 5K Trot for Special Olympics and
Fall Harvest Fest taking place on Sunday, October 21st. The hours of the event will be from 3:00 p.m.
until 2:00 a.m.
09.27.18 VB Meeting 2
The event will have a German band playing from 3:00 p.m. until Midnight outside in the Honor Garden;
however, Village Code allows outside music until 11:00 p.m. with an approved Sound Amplification
Permit. Therefore, relief is required to allow an extra hour of music outside.
If approved, the Village Board may wish to consider restricting the use of Coral Street to an earlier
ending time.

d) Consideration – A Resolution Approving a Temporary Use Permit to hold an Outside
Event on Village Property and Temporary Sign Request to Huntley 158 Education
Foundation and Village of Huntley; Huntley Hootenanny Glow 5k / September 7, 2019
Village Manager David Johnson reported that the recently held Huntley 158 Education Foundation
Hootenanny Glow 5k Run/Walk event was a big success with 1,800 people pre-registering for the event
and even more coming to the downtown to support the participants, enjoy the event and visit the
downtown businesses. Due to the popularity of the 2018 event, the Foundation would like to start
planning and coordinating for the 2019 event, which is proposed to take place on September 7, 2019.
The Education Foundation raises money to fund educational programs and projects to enhance the
learning experiences of School District 158 students by providing grants to District 158 educators. In
addition to the educator grants, the Foundation awards yearly scholarships to students going into college
or trade schools.
The 2019 event will include the following:
• A 5k Fun Run/Walk beginning and ending at the Town Square. Registration and check-in will
begin at 5:00 p.m. with the 5k beginning at 7:00 p.m. and walk immediately following.
Participants will be encouraged to dress in their best “glow” attire.
• Homes along the route will be invited to make their house the “glowiest”.
• An after event party will take place on the Square which will include food vendors, a DJ, picture
opportunities, booths and games for kids. The event will conclude at 9:00 p.m.
The Foundation is also requesting to post banners or yard signs on Village rights-of-way two weeks
prior to the event in the locations listed below:
1) RT 47 and Reed Road
2) RT 47 and Algonquin Road
3) RT 47 and Mill Street
4) RT 47 and Del Webb Boulevard

12) Reed Road and Haligus Road
13) Haligus Road and Main Street
14) Kreutzer Road and Main Street
15) Kreutzer Road and Haligus Road
Huntley 158 Education Foundation acknowledges that some sites may not be under the Village’s
jurisdiction and others may not be feasible in the noted location. If any of these sites are not feasible,
the Foundation may request permission for other sites with the approval of the Village Manager. No
signs will be posted on private property without prior authorization of the property owner.
Directional Signage the day of the event in locations near or around the Square to assist those coming to
the event.
The Village of Huntley Zoning Ordinance allows for the issuance of a temporary use permit for
temporary signs as follows:
1) Not to exceed 30 days,
2) Maximum size of 50 square feet and no more than 8 feet above ground,
3) Not to be displayed on a fence or tree,
4) Not located in the Village rights-of-way;
therefore a variation from the Sign Ordinance will need to be granted to display signs within the Village
rights-of-way.
Staff Analysis
Again, careful consideration will be given to all safety issues as well as parking and street closures as
this event will take place in the evening.
Due to the volume of participants, Staff is requesting the following street closures during the entire
event:
• Coral Street from Church Street to Woodstock Street
• Church Street from Main Street to 1st Street
• Main Street from Church Street to Woodstock Street
Certain streets will be required to be closed only during the 5k:
• Church Street from 1st Street to Algonquin Road
• Main Street from Ruth to Church Street
The 2018 event included volunteers from the Algonquin and Lake in the Hills Police Explorers and they
with the Huntley Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association will be contacted to man the intersections
for safe passage of participants along the path and traffic control. The Education Foundation will
provide volunteers for all the other positions needed.
It is anticipated that the Huntley High School’s theatre lighting coordinator will set up lighting to make
09.27.18 VB Meeting 5
the gazebo and other areas of the Town Square glow for this event with special lighting and
illuminations. However, the area around the Veteran’s Memorial will not be included in the
transformation.
Financial Impact
The D158 Education Foundation will reimburse the Village for Police and Public Works manpower
needed during this event.
Legal Analysis
Participants will be required to sign a waiver which has been reviewed by Village and D158 attorneys.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Goldman stated that the event was fabulous and asked if the 5k route will change; Village
Manager Johnson stated that the 5k route will remain. Village Manager Johnson also stated that final
details will be worked out in the future but the Foundation requested an approval of the date and event
so that they could begin advertising.
Trustee Westberg suggested that Main Street from Woodstock to Church Street be closed during the
entire event. Trustee Westberg asked if the Foundation had a goal for 2019 as far as participants.
Village Manager Johnson stated that it is anticipated that the event could increase to 2,500.
Mayor Sass stated that the Citizen Police Academy volunteers did a great job; Village Manager Johnson
stated that the volunteers are incredible and do a great job at all Village events.
There were no other comments or questions.

e) Discussion – Consideration of an Ordinance Approving a Minor Amendment to the Final
Planned Unit Development for Pod 4 of the Talamore Subdivision for New Single-
Family Products and Reduction in Certain Transition Fees
Village Manager Johnson reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported that on January 12, 2006,
the Village Board adopted Ordinance (O)2006-01.02 approving the Final Plat of Subdivision and Final
Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) for Lennar, Talamore Pod 4. Pod 4 includes 113 single-family lots
and is bound by Ackman Road to the north, Founders Field Boulevard to the east, Talamore Boulevard
to the south, and Union Road to the west. The 2006 ordinance approved three (3) single-family product
types for Pod 4, each with three different elevations that ranged from 2,701 – 3,117 square feet in size.
Lennar constructed 58 homes before they ceased building in Talamore in 2007.
CalAtlantic Group, Inc., now an affiliate of Lennar Corporation, is the successor owner of the remaining
55 lots in Pod 4. CalAtlantic/Lennar is requesting approval of a new product line that will replace the
09.27.18 VB Meeting 6
three previously approved single family products for Pod 4. The new product line includes seven
models that range in size 2,308 – 3,130 square feet. Each model will have four front elevation options
(the Matisse model will have five front elevations). All proposed models were constructed in Pod 1
within the Talamore subdivision, with exception of the Galveston and Matisse (ranch).
The following table provides a further summary of the proposed models:
MODEL TYPE SQUARE FEET GARAGE
Prescott 2 story 2,308 2 car standard;
(22% of homes built in Pod 1) Optional 4 ft. extension;
Optional 3rd car
*Matisse 1 story 2,365 2 car standard;
(Ranch) Optional 3rd Car
Hanover 2 story 2,553 2 car standard;
(11% of homes built in Pod 1) Optional 4 ft. extension;
Optional 3rd car
*Galveston 2 story 2,612 3 car standard
Drake 2 story 2,696 2 car standard;
(2% of homes built in Pod 1) Optional 4 ft. extension;
Optional 3rd car
Weston 2 story 2,970 3 car standard
(23% of homes built in Pod 1)
Magnolia 2 story 3,130 3 car standard
(19% of homes built in Pod 1)
*Not previously built in Talamore; the remaining 23% of the homes built in Pod 1 were the Bridgeport
(2,235 s.f.) and the Hudson (2,062)
Ordinance (O)2006-01.02 also required all homes in Pod 4 to provide specific architectural elements as
listed below. The proposed models meet these requirements.
• Minimum foundation plantings packages for all front and corner side yards
• All front elevations shall include a brick/masonry element
• All garage doors require windows and at least 3 different garage designs are required for each
product line
• Window grills on all front elevations
• The following architectural upgrades are standard for all side and rear elevations for the detached
single family homes
5/4” window surrounds
5/4” frieze boards
Window grills are standard (as an option, a homeowner may opt out of window
grills on non-corner/non-rear facing road lots)
Shutters around windows
At least one rear gable
Different color architectural shingles
Trim will carry over from the front elevation
All corner lots will have a minimum of two first floor windows along the corner
side elevation
CalAtlantic/Lennar has also requested that condition #5 of Ordinance (O)2006-01.02 be deleted.
Condition #5 states “the petitioner is required to install 1½” water service, and to meet residential
09.27.18 VB Meeting 7
sprinkler requirements according to specifications of the Huntley Fire Protection District.” At the time
Pod 4 was approved there was a requirement for fire sprinkler systems in single family detached homes;
however, in 2007 the Village Board of Trustees approved Ordinance (O)2007-09.41 which eliminated
this requirement. The petitioner is requesting the condition be removed to prevent any confusion about
whether a fire sprinkler system is required. CalAtlantic/Lennar will continue to offer a fire sprinkler
system as an option to all buyers and will be required to provide an acknowledgement form along with
the building permit indicating whether a buyer has chosen or declined the option.
Financial Impact
The following impact/transition fee schedule is proposed:
4 Bedroom House Current Proposed
Huntley Fire Protection District – Impact and $685 $685
Transition
Library – Impact and Transition $340 $340
District 158 – Impact and Transition $9,150 $6,150
Municipal Complex Fee $1,000 $0
Village - Transition $1,000 $0
Township - Impact $100 $100
TOTAL $12,275 $7,275
Transition fees were originally implemented at a time when the Village, school district, and other taxing
bodies were experiencing extraordinary growth. The transition fees were needed to help fund operations
during the period between the time when a new home was occupied and generating students and
residents to the time when the full amount of property tax revenue was actually received by the taxing
bodies. This period could take up to 18 months. With the changes that have occurred in the housing
market over the last decade, the Village, school district, and other taxing bodies have been in a position
to absorb new residents and students without experiencing a significant impact on operations. The
Village Board reviewed elimination of transition fees at the April 26, 2018 Village Board meeting and
provided policy direction consistent with the proposed fee schedule.
The Village Manager presented the proposed elimination of the school transition fee at the May 3, 2018,
School Board meeting, and has also presented similar information to representatives of the other taxing
districts.
Strategic Plan Priority
The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies “Promote New Business Development, Retention, and
Expansion” as a Strategic Priority, “Diversify Residential Development Options” as a goal, and “Pursue
new residential development” as an objective.
Village Manager Johnson reported that Attorney Peter Bazos and Rick Murphy from Lennar were in
attendance to answer questions.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Goldman asked if the School Board approved the transition fee change; Village Manager
Johnson reported that he went before the D158 School Board on May 3rd.
Trustee Westberg thanked the petitioners for bringing these new homes to Huntley and asked if the
garages will be larger. Mr. Murphy stated that home buyers will have the option to widen the garage an
09.27.18 VB Meeting 8
additional 4 feet.
There were no other comments or questions.
A MOTION was made to approve an Ordinance Approving a Minor Amendment to the Final
Planned Unit Development for Pod 4 of the Talamore Subdivision for New Single-Family Products
and Reduction in Certain Transition Fees.

f) Conceptual Review of a Proposed Amendment to the I-90/IL 47 Gateway Plan for
Property near the Northwest and Northeast Corners of IL Route 47 and Jim Dhamer
Drive/Freeman Road
Director of Development Services Charles Nordman reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported
that Huntley Development Limited Partnership (“HDLP”) has presented a conceptual plan to reclassify
the land use designations for property they own at both the northwest and northeast corners of Route 47
and Jim Dhamer Drive/Freeman Road. HDLP is proposing to reclassify the designated land use for the
property at both corners of the intersection to allow for either “BP” Business Park uses or “C-2”
Regional Retail uses, although no specific uses or plans are proposed at this time. The developer has
submitted the proposed Huntley Zoning Exhibit to determine if there would be support for changing the
land use designations for the property prior to submitting a formal request to do so. The boundaries of
each of the zoning districts proposed on the Huntley Zoning Exhibit are preliminary in nature and the
exact zoning district boundary lines would be defined when a site plan is submitted for formal review.
The proposed plan presented by HDLP would require an amendment to the I-90/IL 47 Gateway Plan
that was approved by the Village Board on December 21, 2017, because the proposed land uses differ
from the recommendations provided in the Gateway Plan. Additionally, rezoning of the properties will
require a formal development application and public hearing. The developer previously appeared before
the Village Board on April 21, 2016 requesting conceptual review of a proposed plan to relocate Eakin
Creek. This process is still on-going.
I-90/IL 47 Gateway Plan
The proposed rezoning on both the northwest and northeast corners of Route 47 and Jim Dhamer
Drive/Freeman Road represent a change in land use from the recommendations that were provided in the
I-90/IL 47 Gateway Plan, thus requiring an amendment to the plan.
Northwest Corner of Route 47 and Jim Dhamer Drive
The property at the northwest corner of Route 47 and Jim Dhamer Drive is currently zoned “O”
Corporate Office and “P” Parks and Open Space. The I-90/IL 47 Gateway Plan recommended the
property along Jim Dhamer Drive be developed as Medical Care/Office and the existing “P” Parks and
Open Space zoned land remain as open space/wetland conservation. The plan states that “the Medical
Care/Office land use should consist of small-scale medical offices and complementary commercial uses,
such as daycares and restaurants.” Further, “these areas act as a supportive district for the Health Care
District in northeast Huntley to serve nearby residents, such as those in Sun City and the Alden senior
housing development on Regency Parkway.”
09.27.18 VB Meeting 9
The proposal by HDLP would modify the Land Use and Development plan found within the I-90/IL 47
Gateway Plan to designate the land uses at the northwest corner as a combination of Business Park and
Flex Space and Mixed Commercial. The proposal would also modify the Land Use and Development
Plan to reduce the Open Space/Wetland Conservation adjacent to Sun City.
Northeast Corner of Route 47 and Freeman Road
The property at the northeast corner of IL Route 47 and Freeman Road is currently zoned “C-2”
Regional Retail. The I-90/IL 47 Gateway Plan recommended this property be developed as Mixed
Commercial and Corridor Commercial. The property nearest the intersection of Route 47 and Freeman
Road is planned for Mixed Commercial. It states that areas planned for Mixed Commercial should
target “a mix of commercial development that serve as a regional draw, such as general retailer, sporting
goods stores, restaurants, and service uses.”
Further to the north, adjacent to the Village Green commercial area, the vacant property is planned as
Corridor Commercial. Areas planned for Corridor Commercial are located along Route 47 and are
comprised of development-ready sites with much of the infrastructure already in place. These
properties should “leverage visibility and traffic volume, while establishing Route 47 as Huntley’s
primary gateway,” according to the plan.
The proposal by HDLP would modify the Land Use and Development plan found within the I-90/IL 47
Gateway Plan to change the land uses at northeast corner of Route 47 and Freeman Road to add
Business Park and Flex Space.
Proposed Changes
Northwest Corner of Route 47 and Jim Dhamer Drive
The proposal by HDLP would eliminate the “O” Corporate Office zoning at the northwest corner of
Route 47 and Jim Dhamer Drive and replace it with “BP” Business Park and “C-2” Regional Retail.
The proposed rezoning would also reduce the “P” Parks and Open Space zoning buffer that currently
exists along the southern edge of neighborhood 32B in Sun City. At the widest point, the “P” Parks and
Open Space zoned land would be reduced by approximately 390 feet.
Northeast Corner of Route 47 and Freeman Road
The proposed change would potentially add “BP” Business Park zoning to the property at the northeast
corner of Route 47 and Freeman Road. The property is currently zoned “C-2” Regional Retail and was
planned to be an extension of the Village Green retail property. It should be noted that a portion of this
area is currently included in the proposed Business District as discussed at the June 14, 2018 Village
Board meeting. The primary revenue source for funding any improvements within the Business District
is sales tax revenue. Therefore, there may be a financial impact to changing to a “BP” zoning as many
of those uses would not generate sales tax.
“BP” Business Park District
The “BP” Business Park District is established to provide locations for sizeable commercial, office,
institutional, and light manufacturing, as well as the smaller commercial and service uses on which they
rely. The “BP” district would also allow requests for Special Use Permits for warehousing, storage, and
distribution. The following is a complete list of Permitted and Special Uses in the “BP” Business Park:

Courtesy Review
The petitioner has requested the Village Board to conceptually review the proposed plan for amending
the I-90/IL 47 Gateway Plan to accommodate additional zoning districts for the subject sites. The
Village Board is not required to provide a formal position statement on the proposal, and the developer
shall not be required to comply with any position statements which are offered. The concept review
shall provide the developer with initial comments and concerns that should be considered as they
proceed in the formal review process. The Village Board and its individual members are not bound by
any comments made during the discussion and the petitioner acknowledges that it cannot claim in the
future any reliance whatsoever on those comments.
Director Nordman reported that Mr. Phil Waters was in attendance to answer questions.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Leopold asked Mr. Waters if there were interested parties in the property; Mr. Waters stated that
there were none and added that with the property currently zoned Office there is no interest.
Trustee Leopold stated that he would like the zoning of the property east of Route 47 to remain C2. Mr.
Waters stated that the property has been zoned C2 for 25 years and that the need for commercial and
retail has changed dramatically.
Trustee Kanakaris stated that he approved of the request as he would like to see the property developed
and the addition of new jobs in Huntley; Trustee Kanakaris added that he would like a large berm
between the building and the residential area. Trustee Kanakaris asked if there will be spec buildings
built; Mr. Waters stated that there were no plans for spec buildings to be built at this time.
