Route 47 to the beginning of the agenda items.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Rita Bramley, 10289 Central Park Blvd., reviewed the promises that the homeowners of Cider Grove
were promised in 2011: a Homeowners Association (HOA), a clubhouse for parties and fitness area;
multi-use path around an 8-acre park with a playground, soccer/ball fields, etc. which have not happened
since its approval in 2005. Ms. Bramley stated that the HOA is run by a company (Property Specialists
Inc.) and the homeowners have no say in anything and are not represented. Ms. Bramley stated that the
HOA has doubled their dues and taken out a loan which the homeowners knew nothing about. Ms.
Bramley stated concern about DR Horton’s plans to form a separate HOA for the new phases. Ms.
Bramley also stated concern over the 8-acre park they were promised and noted that the current club
house is in need of desperate repair. Ms. Bramley noted the current path which goes three-fourths
around the retention pond and has trees and plants growing through the blacktop and is unsafe. Ms.
Bramley stated that DR Horton is proposing to decrease the 8-acre park to two acre park (just open
space) so that they can build more houses (197 as opposed to the approved 138 homes). Ms. Bramley
stated that if the park is reduced the current homeowners should be compensated. Ms. Bramley
expressed other concerns regarding the limits of each model, the options of slabs and not basements,
restrictions in the age related home, 3-car garages on the smaller homes, HOA rules and restrictions with
new HOA vs existing HOA. Ms. Bramley asked the Village Board to protect the residents.
Alyssa Rizzo, 10299 Central Park Blvd., stated that she agreed with the points made by Rita Bramley
and added that her other concerns are the smaller lots of Phase 2 and 3. She stated that they will lose
$60,000 in equity due to the size of the homes and asked for recourse and that the new homes should
stay with the original approved requirements.
Greg Gillming, 11785 Leland, stated that he was a 17 year resident and was speaking on behalf of
07.23.20 VB Meeting 1
himself and other residents. Mr. Gillming stated that they should be with the new HOA and not have
two different HOAs in the same subdivision. Mr. Gillming asked if it was beneficial to build in the
current recession situation.
Mayor Sass replied to the residents and stated with regard to the park that they should contact the
Huntley Park District and let them know what you want as it is under their jurisdiction as to how parks
are built or taking acceptance of funds in lieu of building parks. Mayor Sass stated that he believes the
Park Board meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION:
m) Consideration – An Ordinance Approving the Issuance of a Class “A” Accessory Use
Tobacco License to Route 47 Liquors; 10876 Route 47
Mayor Sass reported that the Village regulates the sale of tobacco and tobacco products through its
Tobacco Control Ordinance, which provides for the issuance of certain classes of tobacco licenses and
establishes the number of licenses available.
Staff Analysis
The Village is in receipt of a request for a Class “A” Accessory Use Tobacco license from Mr. Ricky
Patel and Mrs. Hema Patel, owners of Route 47 Liquors. The Patels are seeking approval, included on
the Liquor Commission agenda, to open a retail liquor store at 10876 Route 47 in the Huntley Towers
retail center. The intent is to include a small selection of tobacco and tobacco products at the check-out
counter which would require a Class “A” Accessory Use license.
A Class “A” Accessory Use Tobacco licensee offers tobacco products and/or tobacco paraphernalia for
sale at retail but derives less than 30% of its gross revenue from the sale of tobacco products and
tobacco paraphernalia. An amendment to the Code of Ordinances is not necessary to increase the
number of available licenses. The Code allows for an unlimited number of Class “A” Accessory Use
licenses; however, Village Board approval is required to issue the license.
The fee for a Class “A” license is $200, but the Code of Ordinances provides for a proration of fee:
§ 120.05 (B) For all licenses issued on or after July 1 of each year, the license fee
shall be 50% of the annual fee. All license fees shall be paid at the time of the
application.
As part of the application the following items are required to be submitted:
• Signed Application (Submitted)
• Economic Interest Disclosure Form (Submitted)
• Payment of $100 for a Class “A” license issued after July 1st (Submitted)
• BASSET or TIPS training information for employees (Owners have submitted their BASSET
cards. New employees for the Huntley location need to be submitted within 90 days)
Additional Information
The Class “B” Tobacco Store license held by Route 47 Smoke Shop is considered null and void due to
closure of the business. A code amendment is not necessary as outlined in the code:
§ 120.05 (C) A tobacco license issued to a licensee shall automatically terminate and become null and
void, and the number of available tobacco licenses authorized in the classification (class) of the
terminated license shall automatically be reduced by one (if applicable), upon any of the following:
(1) Permanently closing or ceasing to do business at the licensed premises;
07.23.20 VB Meeting 2
Financial Impact
Payment of the prorated fee of $100 for a Class “A” Accessory Use Tobacco license has been received
and deposited to the Tobacco License revenue line item 100-00-00-4322.
Legal Analysis
Section 120 of the Village Code of Ordinances regulates tobacco sales in the Village. The application
has been reviewed and is in compliance.
Mayor Sass reported that representatives of the petition were still in attendance to answer questions.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none.
A MOTION was made to approve an Ordinance Approving the Issuance of a Class “A”
Accessory Use Tobacco License to Route 47 Liquors; 10876 Route 47 subject to the following
condition of approval:
1. No tobacco or tobacco products can be sold prior to the completion of the remodel and
issuance of the certificate of occupancy.

development impact fees to other taxing bodies ($59,879), payment to Lennar Homes for the refund of
Sod Bonds ($40,000), Payout #2 to Schroeder Asphalt Services Inc. for the 2020 Street Improvement
Program ($384,092.32), payment to IRMA for the 2020 Liability Insurance Premium $309, 119), and

b) Consideration – An Ordinance Approving a Special Use Permit for a Car Wash in the “B-
3” Shopping Center Business District and Site Plan Review, including any necessary
relief, for Premier Car Wash, 10390 Vine Street
07.23.20 VB Meeting 3
Director of Development Services Charles Nordman reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported
that the petitioner, Peter Spyratos, is proposing to purchase the former Huntley Car Wash located at
10390 Vine Street and reopen it as Premier Car Wash. The property is zoned “B-3” Shopping Center
Business District which allows a Car Wash as a Special Use. Mr. Spyratos also owns Premier Car Wash
in Sycamore.
Staff Analysis
Site Plan & Parking Lot
Mr. Spyratos proposes to utilize the existing structure and update the equipment to include three (3)
touchless automatic car wash bays. The building will be power washed, and the red cinder block will be
covered with Premier’s prototypical blue signage board. The north vacuum station will be replaced with
a new pay station and southern vacuum station will remain as existing. The entire parking lot will be
repaved and restriped, and the plans indicate stacking for 24 vehicles. There are four 10’ x19’ parking
spaces proposed adjacent to the vacuum at the south side of the lot.
Landscaping
The proposed landscape plan depicts two new planting beds on the north side of the site. Three 2-inch
caliper American Hornbeam trees are included in the plan, and several groupings of bushes, grasses, and
perennials are well spaced between the trees.
Lighting
Parking lot lighting on the site will be replaced with three new Lithonia light poles and the Lithonia D-
Series Size 1 LED Area Luminaire fixtures. The light fixtures will be required to provide the requisite
2.0 foot-candle average for the parking area and the 0.5 foot-candle maximum at the property line.
Signage
The proposed signage includes six wall signs. This includes two illuminated “Premier Car Wash”
channel letter signs (54 SF each) on the west and east sides, and two illuminated “Touchless Laserwash”
channel letter signs (57 SF each) on the north and south sides. All channel letter signage will be
attached to the 32” tall composite aluminum blue panel, which is proposed to wrap around the upper
façade of the entire building. The east side of the building includes one illuminated “water swoosh”
logo measuring 30 square feet, and the west side of the building will have the entrance door wrapped
with the “water swoosh” logo, measuring 20 square feet.

REQUIRED RELIEF
The proposed plans require the following relief:
Signage
1. In accordance with Section 156.123 of the Sign Ordinance, the building would be permitted two
wall signs as it fronts two streets (Route 47 and Vine Street). Each street frontage would be
allowed one sign and 65 square feet of sign area; therefore, relief will be required to allow four
additional wall signs, and 132 additional square feet of sign area.
Village Board Conceptual Review
The Village Board reviewed conceptual plans for the project on June 11, 2020 and generally gave
positive reviews for the project. A comment was provided regarding the proposed six bushes on the
north side to be taller than 4 feet. The petitioner has since improved the landscaping on the north side to
include three trees, and several bushes, decorative grasses, and perennials. Additional questions
included whether the building would be painted, and how many vehicles would be stacked. The
petitioner will be power washing and tuck-pointing the building, and has included a stacking plan as an
exhibit to this report.
Plan Commission Recommendation
The Plan Commission reviewed the petitioner’s request on July 13, 2020. One Commissioner suggested
the petitioner might want to investigate approval for a temporary off-premise sign at Route 47 and Joan
Ave. to assist drivers in locating the Vine Street entrance. With no members of the public offering
comments in favor or opposition to the request, the Plan Commission recommended approval of the
petition by a vote of 5 to 0, subject to the following conditions:
1. All public improvements and site development must occur in full compliance with the submitted
plans and all other applicable Village Municipal Services (Engineering, Public Works, Planning
and Building) site design standards, practices and permit requirements.
2. The petitioners will comply with all final engineering revisions to be approved by the Village
Engineer and Development Services Department.
3. The petitioner is required to meet all development requirements of the Huntley Fire Protection
District.
4. The petitioner shall obtain final landscape approval of the Landscape Plan from the Development
Services Department.
5. All permanent and seasonal plantings must be replaced immediately upon decline.
6. The lighting fixtures will be required to provide the minimum 2.0 foot-candle average for the
parking area and the 0.5 foot-candle maximum at the property line.
7. No building plans or permits are approved as part of the submittal.
8. No sign permits are approved as part of the submittal.
Strategic Plan Priority
The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies “Promote New Business Development, Retention, and
Expansion” as a Strategic Priority, “Attract and Retain Businesses to Enhance Tax Base and Create
New Jobs” as a goal, and “Clean up or redevelop businesses along Route 47 corridor north of Main
Street” as an objective.
Director Nordman reported that Mr. Spyratos was in attendance to answer questions.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Piwko asked if they were going to repave the asphalt; Director Nordman stated that it was going
07.23.20 VB Meeting 5
to be repaved.
Mayor Sass suggested that the wall sign on the west side of the building be centered; Mr. Spyratos stated
that it will be and the exhibit presented should have been updated.
There were no other comments or questions.

c) Consideration – An Ordinance Approving an Amendment to the Preliminary Planned
Unit Development for Huntley Crossings I and Final Planned Unit Development in Order
to Construct a Four-story Hampton Inn Hotel on Lot 2 of the Huntley Crossings Final
Plat of Subdivision
Director of Development Services Charles Nordman reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported
that the petitioner is proposing to construct a 4-story, 100-room Hampton Inn hotel on Lot 2 of Huntley
Crossings I. The site is zoned “B-3” Shopping Center Business district which allows a hotel as a
permitted use. The hotel is proposed to be located on the site, which was previously approved in 2007
for a Home Depot store. The estimated project cost is $11.5 million.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Amending the Preliminary Planned Unit Development
The Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Huntley Crossings Phase I was approved by the
Village Board on November 16, 2006 (Ordinance (O)2006-11.104). The Preliminary PUD proposed for
Lot 2 (±11.3 acres) to be developed as big box retail (Home Depot). Home Depot later submitted a
petition and was approved for Final Planned Unit Development to construct a 104,208 square feet store
and associated 28,086 square feet garden center (Ordinance (O)2007-06.30); however, due to the state of
the economy Home Depot did not move forward with construction and later sold the property.
The proposed amendment to Huntley Crossings Phase I would modify the Preliminary PUD to allow for
construction of a hotel on Lot 2, rather than big box retail as contemplated by the original plan.
Final Planned Unit Development
The petitioner is proposing to construct a 4-story, 100 room Hampton Inn hotel on Lot 2 of the Huntley
Crossings Final Plat of Subdivision. The ±63,208 square foot hotel will include an indoor pool,
breakfast area for guests and a meeting room capable of seating 34 people.
Site Plan
The proposed site plan for the hotel will occupy approximately 3.7 acres of the ±11.3-acre lot (the
petitioner is not proposing to subdivide the property at this time and would return at a later date to
subdivide the lot when future users have been identified for the remaining portions of Lot 2). The
hotel’s main entrance will face towards Route 47 and parking will be provided on all four sides of the
07.23.20 VB Meeting 6
building.
Access to the site will be provided by extending the existing north/south access road which also serves
the outlots along Route 47 and provides access to the Route 47 signalized intersection. Pedestrian
access to the site will be provided by extending the sidewalk that currently terminates at Harris Bank.
Additional sidewalk connections will be constructed as the remaining outlots are developed, including a
connection to the Route 47 multi-use path at the time Lot 4 is developed.
The trash enclosure will be located at the southeast corner of the site and will be constructed of stone
veneer to match the building. The enclosure will also include a 16ʹ-0ʺ by 12ʹ-6ʺ storage building that
will be clad in stone veneer.
Parking
The Zoning Ordinance requires that a hotel provide one parking space per guest room plus 50% of the
spaces required for accessory restaurants and/or meeting rooms. The Hampton Inn has 100 guest rooms
and a meeting room and breakfast area that will each seat 34 people, therefore requiring 112 parking
spaces. In compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements, the proposed site plan provides 124
parking spaces, including 5 accessible parking spaces. The site plan also provides two spaces for
RV/trailer parking, as requested by the Village Board during the concept review. A bicycle rack has
also been provided near the main entrance to the hotel.
The following table provides a further summary of the parking requirements.
Required Parking
Use Parking Required Parking Proposed
Hotel – 100 guest rooms 100 spaces (1 space per guest 100 spaces
room)
Breakfast Area – 34 seats 6 spaces (0.3 spaces per seat x 12 spaces
50%)
Meeting Room – 34 seats 6 spaces (0.3 spaces per seat x 12 spaces
50%)
112 spaces 124 spaces
Building Elevations
The proposed 4-story building elevations include the use of stone veneer around the first floor of the
building, an architectural wood look panel on portions of the front elevation (west), and five different
colors of EIFS on the remainder of the building. The Village’s Commercial Design Guidelines
approved as part of the annexation process for Huntley Crossings prohibit the use of EIFS. The building
also includes a porte cochere at the main entrance that will have columns clad in stone veneer.
The height of the proposed building is 56 feet / 4-stories, which exceeds the maximum height permitted
in the “B-3” Shopping Center Business zoning district. The “B-3” district permits a maximum height of
3 stories / 35 feet. The building will exceed the maximum permitted height by 1 story / 21 feet,
therefore, requiring relief to be considered as part of the planned unit development approval.
Landscaping
The proposed landscape plan has been prepared in conformance with the Village’s landscape ordinance
and Commercial Design Guidelines. The plan includes various species of 3-inch caliper trees around the
07.23.20 VB Meeting 7
perimeter of the site and within the parking lot. Foundation plantings are also provided on all four
elevations of the building.
Site Lighting
Parking lot lighting will consist of LED pole mounted fixtures that are 25 feet in height. Additional
lighting will include wall mounted fixtures on the north, south, and east building elevations and under
canopy lighting at the front entrance. The parking lot photometric plan meets the Zoning Ordinance
requirement of providing an average minimum illumination of two (2) foot candles. The petitioner will
need to add photometric readings at the perimeter of the property in order to verify conformance with
maximum foot candles at the property’s perimeter lot lines.
Signage – Wall
The proposed wall signage for the hotel consists of three signs that will be mounted at the top of the
north, west, and south building elevations. Staff notes, the architectural building elevations also include
a wall sign on the rear elevation (east) of the building; however, the Site Signage Plan does not propose
a wall sign on the rear elevation.
The Zoning Ordinance permits one wall sign per tenant and limits the sign to the street frontage face of
the building. In accordance with the Ordinance, the hotel would be permitted one wall sign by right
since it only fronts on Route 47. Relief is required to allow the wall signs to be located on the north and
south building elevations and allow 23.53 square feet of additional wall signage.
The following table provides a summary of the proposed wall signage:
Location # of # of Signs Sign Area Maximum Sign
Signs Permitted Proposed Area Allowed
Proposed
North Elevation 1 0 79.5 0 sq. ft.
South Elevation 1 0 79.5 0 sq. ft.
West Elevation 1 1 112 247.47 sq. ft.
(front)
Total 3 1 271 sq. ft. 247.47 sq. ft.
Signage – Ground
The proposed ground sign will be located near the northwest corner of the site, near the entrance to the
hotel’s parking lot. The sign will stand 12ʹ-6ʺ in height and positioned so that it faces towards Route 47.
The sign face will have an area of approximately 41.76 square feet. The Annexation Agreement for the
site requires that ground signs for the Route 47 outlots not exceed six (6) feet in height, but does not
provide specific requirements for ground signs on the lots planned for big box retail because the
development was to have two shopping center monument signs along Route 47. The monument signs
were to stand thirty (30) feet in height and would advertise the big box and in-line retail on the lots
without direct frontage on Route 47. Those signs have not been constructed nor is there a plan to
construct the signs in the near future.
The base of the ground sign is currently proposed as aluminum which does not comply with the Sign
Ordinance or Commercial Design Guidelines. Both documents require the base of the sign to be
constructed of brick or stone. Staff recommends the base of the ground sign be clad with the same stone
veneer that is used on the building.
Required Relief
07.23.20 VB Meeting 8
The proposed plans shall require the following relief to be approved as part of the planned unit
development:
1. Section 156.039(C)(5) of the Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum building height of 3 stories /
35 feet in the “B-3” Shopping Center Business zoning district. The proposed height of the hotel
is 4 stories / 56 feet, thus requiring relief to be approved as part of the Final Planned Unit
Development.
2. Section 156.123 of the Zoning Ordinance, allows one wall sign per tenant or one wall sign per
street frontage on corner lots. Section 156.123 also states the total surface area of all wall signs
on a building shall not exceed one square foot for each lineal foot of the building frontage. The
site has frontage on only Route 47 and the building’s frontage measures 247.47 feet, therefore
allowing one wall sign measuring up to 247.47 square feet. Relief is required to allow a total of
three wall signs totaling ±271 square feet.
Village Board Concept Review
The Village Board discussed the proposed plan on May 28, 2020, and provided the following comments:
1. Provide parking spaces for RV’s and vehicles with trailers. In response, the petitioner has added
two spaces on the north end of the parking lot to accommodate RV’s and larger vehicles.
2. It was recommended that the use of EIFS be limited on the building.
Plan Commission Recommendation
The Plan Commission reviewed the petitioner’s request and conducted the required public hearing on
July 13, 2020. An unincorporated Powers Road homeowner expressed concern regarding the height of
the building and the potential precedent it would set for future buildings on the Huntley Crossings
property. No other residents spoke in opposition or support of the project. At the conclusion of the
public hearing the Plan Commission recommended approval of the petition by a vote of 4 to 1 (the
commissioner that cast the lone vote against the project expressed concern regarding the height of the
building and believed the hotel should be three stories in height), subject to the following conditions:
1. All public improvements and site development must occur in full compliance with the submitted
plans (see list of exhibits) and all other applicable Village Municipal Services (Engineering,
Public Works, Planning and Building) site design standards, practices and permit requirements.
2. The petitioner will comply with all final engineering revisions to be approved by the Village
Engineer and Development Services Department.
3. The Village of Huntley will require adherence to Illinois drainage law and best management
practices for stormwater management. The petitioner, its agents and assignees are responsible
for not increasing the rate of stormwater runoff and will be required, to the extent practicable, to
minimize any increase in runoff volume through “retention” and design of multi-stage outlet
structures.
4. The petitioner shall obtain final approval of the Landscape Plan from the Development Services
Department.
5. The Espresso Kentucky Coffeetree proposed on the landscape plan shall be replaced with a
different species of tree.
6. The base of the ground sign shall be clad in stone veneer to match the building (the petitioner
has agreed to this condition)
7. All permanent and seasonal plantings must be replaced immediately upon decline.
8. In accordance with the Village’s Commercial Design Guidelines, screens, dormers or other
features are required to conceal rooftop mechanical equipment on all sides of the structure if the
Development Services Department determines that the parapet walls, as proposed, do not fully
screen said equipment.
9. The petitioner is required to meet all development requirements of the Huntley Fire Protection
District.
07.23.20 VB Meeting 9
10. No building plans or permits are approved as part of this submittal.
11. No sign permits are approved as part of this submittal.
Staff recommends the addition of the following condition:
12. The petitioner is required to request Village Board approval to modify the appearance of the
exterior building elevations at any point in the future. This shall include any proposed changes
in color or materials that differ from the building elevations approved as part of the Final
Planned Unit Development.
Financial Impact
On May 28, 2020, the Village Board approved a Business Development Agreement Term Sheet that
outlined the parameters for the preparation of a formal agreement. Since that time, a formal Business
Development Agreement has been prepared and will be presented for the Village Board’s consideration
on August 13, 2020.
Legal Analysis
The Plan Commission conducted the required public hearing for the petition.
Strategic Plan Priority
The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies “Promote New Business Development, Retention, and
Expansion” as a Strategic Priority, “Attract and Retain Businesses to Enhance Tax Base and Create
New Jobs” as a goal, and “Secure a commitment for the construction of a hotel” as an objective.
Director Nordman reported that the petitioner was in attendance to answer questions.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Goldman stated that she loved the plans and that Mr. Patel was bringing a hotel to Huntley but
stated that she was not happy that the meeting room would only hold 34 people and asked that he
consider including a larger meeting room. Mr. Henry Patel stated that he will look at increasing the size
of the meeting room or possibly build one nearby on one of the other parcels that he owns. Mr. Patel
also stated that he is hoping to bring a restaurant to the site.
Trustee Leopold asked if Lot 3 was all stormwater; Director Nordman stated that it was all stormwater.
Trustee Leopold asked if Lot 4 was the only lot able to be developed; Director Nordman stated that it
was the other buildable lot.
Trustee Piwko asked if they would have signage on Route 47. Mr. Patel stated that they will have
signage near the top of their building and might possibly put signage on Lot 4 when it is developed.
Trustee Leopold asked about Tollway signage; Mr. Patel stated that they are looking to possibly rent a
billboard on the Tollway.
There were no other comments or questions.

d) Consideration – An Ordinance Amending Section 35.03 of the Huntley Code to Increase
the Hotel Accommodations Tax from 5% to 7%
Interim Village Manager Lisa Armour reported that the current Village Code includes a hotel
accommodations tax of 5% of the gross rental or leasing charge per room. The tax was put into place in
1996 in anticipation of a future hotel.
Staff Analysis
The Village Board approved a non-binding term sheet with a hotel developer for a Business
Development Agreement on May 28, 2020. The term sheet identified incentives that the Village was
willing to consider to assist the developer in bringing a hotel to the Village. Rebating a portion of the
hotel accommodations tax was included in the term sheet, with the rebate based on a room tax rate of
7%.
Financial Impact
The initial impact of the increased rate will be negligible, as the proposed Business Development
Agreement provides for an 85% rebate of the room tax.
Legal Analysis
An amendment to Village Code is required to increase the tax rate.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none.

e) Consideration – An Ordinance Authorizing the Approval and Execution of a Business
Development Agreement between the Village of Huntley and Woodstock Hotels, Inc. for
a Hampton Inn
Interim Village Manager Lisa Armour reported that Woodstock Hotels, Inc., operated by Hetan Patel,
intends to spend approximately $11,500,000.00 to construct a four-story, 100-room Hampton Inn on 3.7
acres of the former Home Depot site at Huntley Crossings Phase I. The project is anticipated to create
22 jobs and serve as a catalyst to attract other businesses in proximity to the hotel.
Staff Analysis
The Business Development Agreement (BDA) provides for the following:
• Rebate of 85% of the Village’s share of hotel tax, up to a maximum of $2,500,000
07.23.20 VB Meeting 11
• Rebate of 85% of the Village’s portion of the property tax once fully assessed, up to a maximum
of $150,000
• Maximum rebate period of 15 years, or a total amount rebated of $2,650,000
• Hotel to open for occupancy by December 31, 2021; if not, the Business Development
Agreement may be terminated, but the Village Board would have the option to extend the date if
warranted
• Any changes to the hotel brand during the agreement time period would require prior approval of
the Village Board; this is to ensure that the quality of the project remains at the initial standard
approved by the Board
• Any major changes to the development plans would require approval by the Village Board
Financial Impact
Hotel tax revenue is projected to generate $50,000 in the first year of occupancy and increase annually
as occupancy rates increase to a projected level of $195,000 by year nine. The Village would receive
15% of this revenue ($7,500 the first year; $29,250 by year nine). The estimated property tax for the
Village for the first full year of assessment is approximately $6,000. The Village would receive 15% of
this revenue ($900).
Legal Analysis
The agreement has been prepared by Village legal counsel.
Strategic Plan Priority
The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies “Promote New Business Development, Retention, and
Expansion” as a Strategic Priority, “Attract and Retain Businesses to Enhance Tax Base and Create
New Jobs” as a goal, and “Secure a commitment for the construction of a hotel” as an objective.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Leopold noted that the agreement was everything that was already agreed upon.
There were no other comments or questions.

f) Concept Review – Proposed Amendment to the Annexation Agreement for Cider Grove
to allow a Revised Site Plan and Home Product for the Remaining Phases of the
Subdivision
Director of Development Services Charles Nordman reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported
that the Cider Grove subdivision was annexed by the Village in 2005 and is subject to an Annexation
Agreement (Ordinance (O)2005-01.09) which provides development parameters for the 162-acre
property. The Annexation Agreement approved a total 290 units/lots of which 152 were constructed by
07.23.20 VB Meeting 12
Town and Country Homes/K. Hovnanian Homes in Phase I of the development, leaving 138 units/lots to
be developed in later phases. The minimum lot size was 12,600 square feet and homes sizes originally
approved in Phase I ranged from 2,396 – 4,321 square feet.
Staff Analysis
DR Horton is proposing to develop the remaining phases of the Cider Grove subdivision with a mix of
traditional and age-targeted single-family homes. The remaining ±79.5 acres was approved for 138
lots/units and DR Horton is proposing to amend the Annexation Agreement to construct 197 homes.
They are also requesting to reduce the minimum lot size from 12,600 square feet to 8,450 square feet;
however, a minimum lot size of 10,800 square feet would be maintained adjacent to the existing portion
of the Cider Grove subdivision to create a transition between lot sizes. DR Horton intends to transition
from 10,800 square foot lots at the southwest corner of the property to 8,450 square foot lots as they
move north to where the site abuts the Heritage subdivision which has a minimum lot size of 8,400
square feet. The modification to the plan also proposes to reduce the park site from 8.28 acres to 2
acres. DR Horton has begun initial discussions with the Huntley Park District regarding the dedication
of the proposed park site and a cash fee in lieu of dedicating the remaining acreage.
Home sizes for the traditional single-family product range from 1,942 to 2,600 square feet (the 1,942
square foot plan is a single-story ranch model that has a 3-car garage standard). The age-targeted
“Freedom” product ranges from 1,664 to 2,162 square feet (all age-targeted homes are single-story ranch
homes). The following is a summary of the proposed homes for each product type:
Age-Targeted “Freedom” Homes Traditional Single-Family Homes
Model Square Feet Bedrooms Model Square Feet
Bedrooms
Arlington 1,664 2 Madison (ranch) 1,942 4
Bristol 1,748 2 Bellamy 2,051 4
Clifton 1,865 2 Pendleton 2,155 3
Dover 1,958 3 Holcombe 2,356 4
Bedford 2,162 3 Bridgestone 2,550 4
Henley 2,600 4
*DR Horton is proposing to construct homes on slabs, partial basements, and full basements as an
option.
The concept plan by DR Horton will require an amendment to the Annexation Agreement. In amending
the Annexation Agreement DR Horton will, most notably, be requesting to increase the number of
lots/units from 138 to 197 (an increase of 59 lots/units), reduce the lot size from 12,600 square feet to
10,800 square feet for the southwestern most lots, and 8,450 square feet for the northern lots. The
following table provides a summary of the key points of the Annexation Agreement and the
modifications that are proposed by DR Horton for the remaining portion of Cider Grove:
Annexation Agreement Proposed Modification
# of Lots 138 lots 197 lots
Lot Area 12,600 square feet 10,800 square feet and 8,450 square feet
Home Sizes 2,396 - 4,321 square feet Age-Targeted: 1,664 – 2,162 square feet
Traditional SF: 1,942 – 2,600 square feet
Park Size 8.28 acres and financial contribution 2 acres and financial contribution
Financial Impact
07.23.20 VB Meeting 13
DR Horton is requesting to modify the impact and transition fees that are specifically identified in the
Annexation Agreement to be in-line with the fees that are paid by Lennar for the Talamore Subdivision.
Legal Analysis
The proposed modifications to the Annexation Agreement shall require a public hearing to be held by
the Village Board. The preliminary/final plats of subdivision and preliminary/final planned unit
development shall require a public hearing by the Plan Commission.
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.
Courtesy Review
The petitioner has requested the Village Board to conceptually review the proposed plans. The Village
Board is not required to provide a formal position statement on the proposal, and the petitioner shall not
be required to comply with any position statements which are offered. The concept review shall provide
the petitioner 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 representatives of the petition were in attendance to answer questions.
Mayor Sass asked if the petitioner would like to make a statement before questions from the Board.
Mr. Peter Bazos, DR Horton Attorney, stated that the Village Board allowed the builders of Talamore to
readjust their original plans to build what today’s home buyers are looking for now. Mr. Bazos stated
that with regards to the on-site park that there is a path connecting Cider Grove to the large park in
Heritage of Huntley subdivision.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Piwko stated that Cider Grove needs an active park and he would not support the reduction in
size of the park that was originally approved. Trustee Piwko stated that he was ok to match the size of
the adjacent lots but that the lots on the east end of the development need to be larger as 8,450 is too
small. Trustee Piwko suggested a compromise of 10,800 as the smallest lot size.
Trustee Leopold stated that he would like the subdivision to be completed with new homes but that the
developer needs to take into consideration the public comments made at the beginning of the meeting.
Trustee Leopold asked about the two HOAs. Danielle Dash, DR Horton Land Acquisition Manager
stated that the HOA is currently run by a company but that when Phase 2 and 3 are complete, the Phase
1 HOA could be turned over to those residents. Mayor Sass stated that there should only be one (1)
HOA for Cider Grove. Mr. Bazos stated that as soon as Phase 2 and 3 are taken over that the HOA will
immediately be turned over to the homeowners. Trustee Leopold stated that he wants to see the contract
with the current HOA company and he wants to see a formal agreement with the current homeowners.
Trustee Goldman asked what it meant as an age targeted range; Ms. Dash stated that it was geared to the
55+ age population but not restricted. Ms. Dash stated that the HOA dues for the age-targeted homes
will be higher as they will be maintenance free homes with the landscaping being done. Trustee
07.23.20 VB Meeting 14
Goldman stated that she cannot see 40 year olds living next to 60 year olds and noting that the homes are
too small even for older people. Trustee Goldman asked if a 3-car garage is added to the smaller homes
will it take away from the size of those homes; Ms. Dash stated that the home size would stay the same.
Trustee Goldman stated that there are too many houses planned into the size of the area. Trustee
Goldman also stated that the lack of the park troubles her; and, Trustee Goldman requested clearer plans.
Ms. Dash noted the 35 larger lots adjacent to the current homes and also noted that the northeast section
of the plan is set out to be flexible to follow the market.
Trustee Westberg asked if there was wiggle room regarding the park. Ms. Dash stated that they met
with Executive Director of the Park District, Thom Palmer about better connecting the path to Tures
Park.
Trustee Hoeft stated that the proposed does not follow what is typically a DR Horton product and that he
wants nothing less and .25 acre lots. Trustee Hoeft stated that he is not in favor of the plan as proposed.
Trustee Goldman stated that she also is not in favor of the plan.
Trustee Piwko asked if the Units 2 & 3 residents would use the club house. Ms. Dash stated that
residents in Units 2 & 3 could cost share with Phase 1 homeowners and also use the club house.
Mayor Sass asked what will be on the 2-acre park site. Ms. Dash stated that Mr. Palmer talked about it
having passive space with possible benches, bocce ball and/or pickle ball. Ms. Dash stated that they are
open to what the Park District would want.
Mayor Sass stated that he is not supportive of a 2-acre park site and that the community is in desperate
need of ball fields.
Mayor Sass stated that he would consider slab foundations only in the age-targeted section of the
development.
Ms. Dash stated that she appreciated the Village Board’s feedback.
There were no other comments or questions.
No action was required as the Village Board was requested to review the proposed conceptual site
plan and building elevations and provide any questions, comments, or concerns for the petitioner to
consider as they proceed in the formal review process.
g) Consideration – An Ordinance Accepting a Bond Notification for, and Confirming the
sale of, $6,215,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2020, of the Village of Huntley,
McHenry and Kane Counties, Illinois
Director of Finance Cathy Haley reported that on June 11, 2020 the Village Board adopted an Ordinance
authorizing the issuance of, and providing financing guidelines for Bernardi Securities, Inc., in
connection with, the issuance of not to exceed $7,200,000 of General Obligation Bonds of the Village to
refund outstanding debt and finance capital improvements (refinancing maximum existing debt of
07.23.20 VB Meeting 15
$5,600,000 and issuing maximum new debt of $1,600,000).
Staff Analysis
The Village sold bonds on Wednesday July 15, 2020 within the limits set forth in the Bond Parameters
Ordinance from June 11, 2020. The Bond Parameters Ordinance requires that the Board be advised of
the sale of the Bond Notification attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Financial Impact
The final sale compared to the estimates on May 29, 2020 have resulted in several positive factors. The
rate on the 2015 refunding and the $1.5 million of new money is 1.87% compared to 2.59%, and the rate
on the 2017 refunding is 1.39% compared to 2.13%. The Village’s “AA+” rating has helped
significantly and rates have also come down since the end of May. These two factors are saving the
Village an additional $499,594 from the numbers that were estimated on May 29th. The savings come
from reduced interest costs on the 2017 refunding and the new debt, and reduced costs associated with
the extension of the 2015 debt to 2037 to coincide with the end of the TIF.
Legal Analysis
The ordinance was prepared by the Village’s bond counsel, Chapman and Cutler LLP.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Leopold clarified that the Village was doing this to refinance existing debt and save money.
There were no other comments or questions.

#4641, 12300 Route 47, to Hold a Drive-In Movie Event, August 21-22, 2020
Director of Development Services Charles Nordman reviewed a Power Point presentation and reported
that the Huntley Walmart Store is seeking approval to hold a drive-in movie event in the Walmart
parking lot on August 21st and 22nd from 7:30 pm-9:30 pm. The drive-in event is by invite only to
Walmart employees and those guests who sign up online. Walmart has chosen 160 locations across the
country to conduct this drive-in movie event. Walmart is partnering with Tribeca Enterprises to program
the films. The movie to be shown has not been chosen yet, but will be family friendly.
Walmart proposes to hold the event in the northwest corner of the Walmart parking lot (in the same
general area of previous held Rotary carnival events). It is estimated 75 cars will be in attendance each
night, with a minimum of 8-foot space (staggered) to provide optimal viewing of the Mobile LED
Screen (33’Wx19’H). Wayfinding signage will be placed around the perimeter to direct guests to proper
07.23.20 VB Meeting 16
entry, and greeters and security will be on site to direct traffic flow.
In addition, the special event plan includes the following elements:
• 53’ Trailer with viewing screen for movie
• Sound via radio frequency inside vehicles
• Two (2) 10 x 10 tents to check vehicles in as they arrive and hand out pre-packaged snack boxes
• Direction signage
• Pre-packaged snack boxes (1 per vehicle) – no open food or onsite prep
• Barricade or rope and stanchion

• Security (including overnight)
The third-party agency, Momentum Worlwide (Momentum NA, Inc.) will be onsite managing the
activation and will begin set-up one day prior to the event. Tear down will begin immediately after the
event on the second evening.
Staff Analysis
Outdoor Special Events are allowed as a Temporary Use, provided: 1) approval on the basis of the
adequacy of the parcel size, parking provisions, and traffic access and the absence of undue adverse
impact on other properties; 2) limited to a period not to exceed five (5) days; and 3) adequate fire
extinguishers, refuse containers and cleanup of the site upon termination of the event.
Staff recommends the following condition should the Village approve temporary use permit:
1. The event shall be held in accordance with the approved site plan. Any proposed changes to the
approved plan shall require Village approval.
Financial Impact
The petitioner is required to pay a $75 temporary use permit fee prior to the event.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Goldman asked who is providing security for the event; Director Nordman stated Walmart will
provide security.
Trustee Westberg was concerned that the screen would be facing west. Trustee Piwko stated that the
screen should be facing south.
Trustee Leopold asked what type of movie they would be showing; Director Nordman stated that they
will be showing a family friendly movie.
There were no other comments or questions.
