2. Items to be Removed/Added/Changed
There were no items to be removed, added or changed.
3. Matters From The Public (For Items NOT on Agenda)
Chair Brown welcomed those who wanted to address the Committee for items not on the agenda
to do so at this time.
McGrath stated that there were a lot of questions regarding the demonstration at the Batavia
High School. He asked Chief Schira to discuss the demonstration with the Committee.
Chief Schira reported on the demonstration that was held at Batavia High School. He stated that
there were eight demonstrators and nine police officers on scene. There was no point during the
demonstration in which students’ safety was compromised. He explained that the demonstrators
May 12, 2015
Page 2
notified the police department by telephone on Wednesday and turned in a template letter on
Thursday detailing where they would be and what they were demonstrating. The police
department has a close relationship with the school and the school asked the police to relocate
the demonstrators from the north side sidewalk, which is controlled by the school and was not
dedicated to the City. Additionally, the demonstrators were handing out leaflets and the school
has a no leafleting policy. The school notified police that students were visibly upset by the
demonstration and some were crying. The protestors were cooperative with the police but did not
want to relocate. They informed the police that they were legally in the right to stay at that
location. Chief Schira stated that he contacted the City’s legal counsel regarding this matter and
was informed that the protesters had a legal right to stay at that location. Drendel explained that a
public sidewalk or a street is appropriate to demonstrate the First Amendment right as long as
they are not blocking traffic or not letting people through. Court rulings also have illustrated that
a Supreme Court decision trumps school policy. He noted that he did send out a summary of his
findings last week. Callahan commended the police department for doing a fantastic job, which
was focused on the rights of the citizens.
4.
Consent Agenda
(The Consent Agenda is made up of items recommended by city staff that requires
recommendation to the full City Council by the JCOW. This agenda is placed as a
separate item on the JCOW agenda. The items on the Consent Agenda are usually
minor items, already budgeted, standard non-policy activities or outgrowths of earlier
meetings and are voted on as a “package” in the interest of saving time on noncontroversial issues. However, any council member may, by simple request, have an
item removed and placed on the “regular” agenda.)

6. Approval: Sale of City Land 1700 Block Hubbard Avenue (Scott Buening 5/4/15)
Buening stated that this was discussed in executive session and staff was directed to go out to
auction for this. Staff published a notice in the newspaper and sent notices to interested property
owners. Staff received one bid for this property that is being used as a parking lot and storage
area. The bidder was Feece Oil and they agreed to purchase the land for $30,000. This approval
would direct staff to have the deed signed over to Feece Oil in exchange for $30,000 with the
City retaining the easement along the north and west twenty feet of the property for existing and
proposed utility relocation.
Hohmann asked if this includes the pond area. Buening stated that it does not include the pond
area, just the highland area.
Motion:
To recommend to City Council approval the sale of land for 1700 Block Hubbard
Avenue and to direct staff to execute with the deed
Maker:
Hohmann
Second:

Motion carried.
7. Streetscape TIF CD
Holm stated that staff received the final engineering plans and the hyperlink was sent to the
Committee. Holm then sent an email to the Committee stating that staff had already found a
number of issues with the plans. Staff met with CBELL this afternoon to have them work on the
issues. Staff is trying to keep things moving forward on the process. O’Brien asked when the
final drawings should be received to go out to bid. Holm answered that after the necessary steps
with CBELL and V3, staff anticipates four to five weeks with the possibility of not being able to
start in June. Brown asked about the landscaping on Wilson Street and if it is warrantied. Holm
stated that if there is something specific to let him know about it.
Holm reported that the sinkholes were both found to be warrantied work. They were fixed
yesterday.
McGrath reported that borings were done on the Baptist Church property. Most of the results
were good but some were inconclusive. Larger equipment was brought in to do test holes and the
results were encouraging. From what we have learned, the site is good for construction.

8. Resolution 15-62-R: Rescind Resolution 15-44-R and Authorizing Execution of the
Local Agency Agreement for Federal Participation for Safe Routes to School
Crosswalk Improvements at Hart Road, Raddant Road and Larkspur Lane/ Wagner
Road at the Illinois Prairie Path Project with the Illinois Department of
Transportation (Andrea Podraza 5/6/15) CS
Holm stated that this is the agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) that
states that the City is a willing partner in the project. If something were to happen, the City
would be willing to pay for the extra cost for the project. Holm stated that this is 100% funded.

10. Discussion Continued: Property Acquisition for Wastewater Treatment Facility (Gary
Holm 4/29/15)
Holm referenced back to the April 29th memo he sent the Committee and stated that staff reached
out to the property owner per COW direction. Staff has not received any correspondence with
them. Holm stated that staff recommends terminating the process of acquiring off-site property
and resume the design for the on-site option.
Holm discussed the financials with the Committee. He stated that there is a cost premium to stay
on-site because it is more logistics, staging and phasing. Generically, it is estimated that it would
cost three million dollars to stay on site. To go off-site to the west, it was estimated six million
dollars for bedrock and soil issues. Based on the data the City received, the estimate has been
refined to four million dollars. The cost premium to go to the west would be one million and a
half, not including property acquisition.

11. Discussion: Committee and Committee Chairmanships (JDS 5/4/15)
The Committee discussed whether or not there still is a need for Committee chairs since there are
no longer separate committee meetings. Mayor Schielke stated that historically on the City
Council the Committee chairs were named by seniority. Currently, the four senior Committee
members are: Brown, Wolff, O’Brien, and Atac. Mayor Schielke stated that Alderman Atac and
Alderman Chanzit were close appointments but Alderman Atac was appointed three months
prior than Alderman Chanzit. He stated that if we do want to have chairmen for the Committees
than there should be vice-chairmen appointed as well.
The Committee’s discussion offered several suggestions including:
• Sharing the responsibility of chairing a Committee meeting by alternating the chair
weekly by a predetermined, rotating schedule
• The committee chair being decided on interest and ability and the time to do additional
work.
• Not having vice-chairs
• Keeping chairs to be representatives
• Having the entire Committee updated on issues, not only the chairs
• Not having the chair appointments based on seniority
• Keeping the chair and vice-chair appointments

Election of chairs
The consensus of the Committee was to continue with the four chairs, vice-chairs and the Mayor
Pro-Tem. Stark announced that she was informed that Chanzit would like to be the Public
Utilities vice-chair. Brown suggested that the chair designations continue to the based on
seniority. He would keep CDC, Wolff would continue with CS, O’Brien would be PU, Atac
would be Government Services and then the vice-chairs would go down through seniority.
Chanzit would be vice-chair of PU, Stark would be vice-chair of CDC, and the remaining two
vice-chairs would be filled by two of the following: Callahan, Hohmann, Saam, and McFadden.
Brown asked the four aldermen to determine who would get the vice-chairmanships and report
back to the Mayor.
The Committee discussed the Mayor Pro-Tem position. Drendel noted that a Mayor Pro-Tem
could be elected on an ad-hoc basis or by an election that produced through a resolution that
becomes a more permanent thing. Drendel stated that a permanent position would be a better
option if there is a need outside of a meeting to have a document signed or something of that
nature. Mayor Schielke agreed that it is important to have a permanent Mayor Pro-Tem. He
explained that it is important to have one designated. The consensus of the Committee was to
create a resolution for election of the Mayor Pro-Tem.

6.
COA Review: 35 North Water Street – Misc. Site Improvements (Vasilion Architects,
Applicant)
Chair Bus welcomed Steve Vasilion to address the Commission. Steve Vasilion, Vasilion
Architects, stated that The Range, 35 North Water Street, would like to add an outdoor dining
area to their site. The dining area would seat up to 40 patrons and would include a two-way
outdoor gas fireplace, outdoor games area for bags, wooden trellis with Italian lights, and a
masonry wall to comply with the liquor code requirements. Other amenities would include a bike
rack, handicap accessible gate, and an outdoor lounge area. The sidewalk would be brick pavers
and the wall and pavers would be a limestone color. Jeremy Bertrand, The Range, passed around
a brochure showing the blocks he chose for the wall and the pavers. The fireplace would be
May 11, 2015
Page 2
composed of limestone and is proposed to have a Blue Moon illustration facing the restaurant
and a bull artwork feature on the outside facing portion of the fireplace. Albertson noted that
staff has concluded that the artwork would be considered signage and could not be placed on the
fireplace as it is proposed. Vasilion stated that the City’s Code does not distinguish between art
and signage.
*Doug Sullivan entered the meeting at 5:50pm.
Bertrand stated that he does not want to plant trees since the root system could damage the
pavers in ten to fifteen years. He would rather plant ornamental bushes that change with the
seasons.
Hagemann stated that this project takes an unsafe parking lot and makes it look nice and makes
the area safe to walk around. The idea of using the limestone is a great touch to the history of
Batavia. Hagemann commended Bertrand for making this into a wow factor and an area like this
is something that Batavia does not currently have right now. Hagemann stated that he does not
see where preventing someone from putting artwork up is in the best interest to our business
owners downtown. Splitting hairs on what is signage or not signage is not conducive to working
with our business owners. Bus polled the Commission members whether they tend to agree or
disagree with Hagemann’s comment. The general consensus of the Commission was they view
the strict interpretation as problematic.
Roller asked about the dumpster enclosure. Bertrand stated that they would make it look like a
part of the building and it will be completely enclosed with a chimney with an exhaust fan to pull
everything up into the air above the building. The enclosure would have eight-foot barn doors
and should not be noticeable. Roller asked if the fireplace next to the sidewalk would be a safety
issue. Albertson answered that it does meet code. Bertrand added that there would be a hearth
and a grill around the fireplace opening for added safety. Foster asked when they plan on starting
construction. Bertrand stated that he and his business partner have agreed to wait to see how
business is during the Houston Street construction period. Ideally, he would like to begin
construction in July but he would have to make sure that the financials are there before
proceeding. He noted that he is not looking at using this only in the summer but plans on having
this area special even in November and December with the burning fireplace. He likes the idea of
this façade update so it could give his business prominence from the street. Currently, people just
are not easily locating the building. This addition would make the business more noticeable and
more attractive.
Bus stated that this is a non-contributing building and the Commission is voting on how the
proposed improvements enhance or contribute to the Batavia Historic District.

7. Discussion: CLG Application Status
Bus stated that the HPC was asked to submit their qualifications to apply to become a Certified
Local Government (CLG). Albertson noted that he has all of the HPC member’s qualifications
except for the newest member, Commissioner Foster. Foster stated that he had received the
application to fill out. Sullivan expressed his concerns with the CLG program. He stated that
Geneva is a CLG and they had the State of Illinois come out to investigate a situation in which
the HPC voted no to demolition but the City Council voted yes to demolition. He explained that
he would like to limit layers of government so that things could get accomplished. Albertson
stated that staff followed up and spoke to the State of Illinois Preservation Organization and was
informed that the State only works as a mediator between the two governing bodies. Geneva
does not have to follow the State’s recommendation and the recommendation is not binding. He
noted that HPC decisions are binding except for the case of demolitions. Our process requires
that demolitions be heard by the City Council. Hagemann asked for more information on the
benefits on becoming a CLG including how much funding is possible, what the grant funding
could be used towards, and how the State of Illinois is involved in the process. The general
consensus of the Committee was to have staff report back on this issue prior to filing the CLG
application.
8. Discussion: Design Guidelines Review
Roller stated that it would be beneficial to give everyone a copy to read through prior to
discussion. She suggested narrowing down some of the terms to use the same terminology for
consistency and updating the code references. She stated that inserting a hyperlink for the
Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) would be helpful. Sherer suggested having the guidelines
be broad enough so that they do not restrict creativity. The Commission discussed the Design
Guidelines and how the guidelines should be referred to more often when making
recommendations. Roller stated that she would send the Design Guideline copy to Albertson for
distribution. Albertson stated that this discussion would be placed on a future HPC agenda.
9. Discussion: New Landmark or New District procedure
Bus stated that we have discussed expanding or creating additional Historic Districts. He noted
that several homeowners on the Batavia House Walk would like to have their house landmarked.
Albertson gave a history on the procedure and the Commission’s ability to establish a landmark
property and a Historic District. Bus suggested adding these details to the website as well as
stating who the HPC are and what the HPC does. Foster offered to write something up and would
like to create a brochure that would let people know what the Historic District is and inform
people on our architecture. Foster stated that it would be nice to have something to give our
residents. Bus and Sherer stated that they would join Foster with those efforts.
Foster encouraged the Commission to become members of the Batavia Historical Society. Bus
added that membership should be pursued by aldermen and the Mayor as well.
Bus commented that we should consider a plaque program on our historic buildings.

9 South Batavia Avenue – Egress Ladder
Albertson stated additional conversation was held with owner, at 7 East Wilson Street and there
is no desire to do anything with the sign. The owner does not want to address to the Commission
about the sign. The next step is to file an adjudication hearing notice.
The Anderson block building has the masonry finished. The owner continues to look for a
painter to finish the remaining items and concrete repair on the stairs needs to be completed.
Albertson stated that the Significant Historic Building Inspection Program is progressing.
Hagemann requested that Albertson to resend the reports to him.
The 10/12 North River Street owner is in the process on getting bids to make the repairs supplied
on the report.
Albertson reported that the 227 West Wilson Street building is in the same condition as the last
time the Commission discussed this building. The owner has done some of the masonry work
and staff needs to discuss with the owner the remaining improvements needed to be completed.
One of the main concerns that the owner has are the wood soffits and facia on the building.
Albertson stated that the owner is considering selling the 109 South Batavia Avenue building.
Until the building is sold there is not much that could be done towards improvements.
There is no update on the 9 South Batavia Avenue egress ladder. Albertson would contact the
owner.
11. Other
Albertson announced that we are looking extending our deadline of submissions a week before
the packet has to go out. Bus stated that 5-7 days should be reasonable amount of time.
Foster stated that he is concerned about the report on 8 North River. Bus asked to have the report
review put on the agenda at our next meeting. Albertson stated that conversations have been held
with both business owners. This discussion would be held on the first meeting in June. Roller
noted that she would not be able to attend the June 8th meeting.
Albertson stated that if there are no COA submittals we should discuss whether or not we would
still like to have the meeting. He noted that he would contact the HPC Chair if there are no COA
reviews asking the Chair if a meeting should be held.

Final Plat of Subdivision: P2 Estates
West Side of Hickory Lane at Rosewood Lane, Unincorporated Batavia Township
Jim Person and Mike Perik, Applicants
Strassman reported that the Batavia Subdivision Regulations require that subdivisions in the
unincorporated land in Batavia’s planning jurisdiction be approved by the City of Batavia. This
evening we have a final plat of subdivision for P2 estates. This is a six acre two lot subdivision
adjacent to the Village of North Aurora. The plat is in compliance to the County’s subdivision
regulations. The applicants have requested a variation to all of the sections of the City of Batavia
subdivision regulations except for the section that requires submission of and approval of the
final plat of subdivision. In support of that request of variations, the applicant has stated that the
subdivision would comply with all of the County requirements. One improvement that staff
considered was the installation of a sidewalk along Hickory Lane or in lieu of that a payment for
the installations. The applicant has requested that in lieu of the payment for sidewalk installation

that they make a donation to the Kane County Forest Preserve District in the amount of three
thousand dollars for trail enhancement in the Dick Young Forest Preserve. Staff supports the
applicant’s request for variations and for the donation to the Kane County Forest Preserve in lieu
of a sidewalk. Staff recommends approval of the final plat of subdivision including the request of
variations subject to receiving confirmation from Kane County Forest Preserve District on
receipt of the donation before the Mayor signs the final plat.
Joseph asked about the sidewalks. Strassman stated that there are no sidewalks in the
unincorporated neighborhood.
Phillip Bus, 615 Winnebago Trail, Fox Plans Consulting, stated that he is here tonight with the
property owner and are here to answer any questions. There were no questions by the
Commission.

Rackow briefed the Commission on the staff recommended updates to the Zoning Code. He
reported that the first amendment would be to add definitions of play equipment and supply
provisions on where they could be located on single and multi-family. Staff does not recommend
requiring a building permit for play equipment. The second item for review would be to add a
definition for large refuge containers and placing minimum standards for those in single and
multi-family properties. Multi-family properties would require an enclosure for new dumpsters.
Old dumpsters would be grandfathered in. There is a fourteen-day limitation for dumpsters that
are not part of a building permit.

Rackow reported that there are regulations for the storage of recreational vehicles and parking
for those vehicles, but the differences between the two are not defined. Staff is proposing to
simplify the language by calling it recreational vehicle requirements: recreational vehicles have
to be on paved areas of the property, they would have to have a minimum setback from the rear
and side property line of five feet and that they could be in the corner, side or front setback when
parked in the driveway. As part of this it would define what a utility trailer would be and a utility
trailer could be on a property for 72 hours. Joseph asked if this provision includes campers.
Rackow stated that it would. Peterson asked if this included work vehicles. Rackow stated that
the proposed changes would not affect how work vehicles are regulated.
Rackow discussed industrial accessory structures. Staff is proposing to add an allowance for
accessory structures in industrial districts. There would be a height and area limitation. Principal
and accessory structures would be defined in employment districts. Vehicle doors of accessory
structures would be prohibited to face residential areas.
Rackow discussed changes to the sign code. First the prohibition on festoon lighting would be
lifted for outdoor dining areas approved by Design Review. Temporary banners regulations
would be simplified. Peterson asked if this would affect banners placed on lawns, specifically for
the garden clubs and their spring sales. Rackow answered that this regulation is particularly for
banners on buildings for commercial uses and would not affect lawn banners for Special Events.
Staff is proposing to change the duration of non-seasonal sales time allowed. The three days
would be expanded to ten days to allow for two weekends for an outdoor sale not related to a
seasonal event.
Staff has received inquiries on temporary storage structures in the industrial district. This would
be separate from accessory structures discussed before. These structures would be to store
materials for short durations. Staff is recommending establishing base regulations for those.
These structures would be limited to 90 days and be off site for 90 days until another could be
put in place and that it could not be in a required parking or landscaped area.
The last change in the edits would be to modify the corner lot definition. Staff is proposing to
change the language to allow staff to review that and make the determination of front and corner
for the purpose of zoning under certain circumstances.
Rackow stated that staff recommends approval of the amendments of the zoning code.

7. Other Business
Strassman reported that Batavia Enterprises (BEI) submitted the building permit application for
Walgreens. They will have to come back to the PC and the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) for
variances for freestanding signs. BEI has submitted an application to subdivide the property into
the pieces already seen on all of the plans. Staff is working with BEI to get all the matters for the
PC and the ZBA addressed at one meeting.
Rackow stated that he handed out copies of the Homes for a Changing Region Plan to the
Commission. The Council approved the plan in November and the prints were received late
December. Staff is meeting with the partners regarding implementation of some of the regional
goals on Friday. One of the goals is reaching out to employers in the area to let them know about
state incentive programs to help employees buy homes closer to work. Another part of the plan is
to establish a community land trust for the four communities. Early discussion on how that
would work will be part of that meeting. Staff will be bringing local goals on what the City of
Batavia could do to the Council. This may result in some Zoning Code text amendments for the
PC to review.
Strassman reported that the Committee of the Whole gave staff the okay to develop area plans
for the corner of Kirk and Wind Energy Pass and a land use plan for possible amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
Joseph asked if the Missner Group still has interest in developing in the City. Strassman stated
that the City has not received any applications to do anything on the property the Missner Group
was once interested in.

Strassman discussed his memo and read the Findings of Fact and staff recommendations to the
ZBA/PC.
Chair LaLonde sworn in all of those who were to speak at tonight’s hearing.
Ron Blackney, 702 Millview Drive, addressed the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). He thanked
the Board for the opportunity to present their variance. He shared that the addition of a sunroom
is something that they are looking forward to and have been saving money for a long time. The
variance would allow the proposed addition to have a rear east setback of 27ft versus the
required 30ft. Blackney showed the dimensions of the proposed sunroom and a diagram of his
property with the proposed sunroom addition. He also showed an illustration of the proposed
addition for the ZBA to review.
He explained that his house was built in 1989 to conform to the zoning requirements of that time
with a 35-foot setback from Millview Drive. Current zoning requirements were eased for a 30ft
setback. If the house were built today and they were given the thirty-foot setback they would not
be here today asking for a variance. They are asking for three feet for their variance but would be
enjoying five feet if the home were built with a 30-foot setback. They are only asking for three
feet instead of five, which would allow them to have 11 feet of depth for the addition.
Blackney stated that all of his neighbors support their addition and have supplied letters of
approval to the City. He showed some other homes in the neighborhood with a similar sunroom
addition for the Board to view. He shared that the addition would blend in to the architecture of
the home and would make a great addition to the neighborhood.
Sue Blackney, 702 Millview Drive, shared that they are longtime residents of Batavia and their
daughter has established her home in Batavia with her three children. They love Batavia and
would like to stay in Batavia. She explained that the reason they wanted to build this retirement
project is because they are outside enthusiasts. She is a gardener and would like to enjoy her
backyard at all times of the year, including when the pesky bugs come outside at night. She
would like to have this addition to share with their six grandchildren and protect them from the
possibility of contracting the West Nile Virus.
Peggy Kinane, Timberbuilt, addressed the ZBA. She stated that she is the builder and is here
tonight to answer any questions one may have. Schneider asked if this is a standard addition.
Kinane stated that they do not do manufactured products. She noted that unfortunately there is no
other place on the lot for an addition that would not require a variance. They wanted to request
the least amount that they could ask for.
Rich Franson, 614 Millview Drive, addressed the Board. He stated that he lives across the street
from the Blackneys. He asserted that this addition to the property enhances Batavia. He noted
that the Blackneys also keep their current property very nice. He stated that we pay property
taxes so that we could sit outside and enjoy life in retirement. The Blackneys deserve to be able
to relax in their sunroom on their property. This addition is something that would enhance their
property and enhance their retirement life.

Schneider commented that the findings do not address this situation well. In this situation, the
Board should be able to approve an addition such as this. Unfortunately, the Board must abide by
the findings. LaLonde commented that this addition is tastefully done and is in good proportion
to existing residence. He also appreciates that they are not asking for the full five feet. It is a
nicely constructed porch addition. Schneider agreed with LaLonde. Weiss stated that he is sure
the City Council would support their variance. Gosselin stated that he hopes that they would be
able to build the porch. Joseph agreed and stated that she regrets being bound to the findings. She
hopes City Council approves. Harms concurred.

Batavia Plaza and Proposed Walgreens at 122 West Wilson Street
Public Hearing – Variances for Freestanding Signs (Zoning Board)
Public Meeting – Design Review and Preliminary & Final Plat of Subdivision (Plan
Commission) Batavia Enterprises, Inc. applicant
Strassman stated that the applicant, Batavia Enterprises (BEI) is represented this evening and can
go through drawings and provide details on what is proposed. When the Plan Commission
approved a design review previously, there was no landscaping and no freestanding signs
proposed at the time. BEI is proposing the installation of freestanding signs for both the plaza
and Walgreens. The Batavia Plaza sign would be the existing plaza sign relocated. Relocating the
sign would require a variance to be granted for the sign’s now nonconforming height. BEI is
proposing to divide the property into six lots to follow the building’s footprints and additional
parking. There is an additional lot proposed for the main north south access aisle. Dedications for
rights-of-way are proposed to accommodate the Wilson Street access location and to slightly
enlarge the street corners. Strassman discussed the variances requested: Section 4.303.S.1.b that
requires a mulched planting area extending a minimum of 5 feet from all sides of the sign base
for both signs; Section 4.407.B.2.a(2) that limits sign height to 6 feet for the relocated Batavia
March 4, 2015
Page 4
Plaza sign; and Section 4.407.B.2.a(4) that requires signs to be setback at least 5 feet from the
right of way for both signs.
Strassman discussed the Design Review. He stated that when the design review as first approved
in September of 2013, proposed landscaping was based on a previous site plan that had been
revised. Landscaping was not approved at that time. The proposed landscape plans (attached)
use the approved site plan and propose landscaping, fences, knee walls, and street furniture that
retain much of the character of the plans presented in 2013.
Building elevations are generally minor. Substantial changes include lowering of the drivethrough canopy and replacement of the textured stone arches above the windows with smooth
cast stone. Parking lot pole lights and wall-mounted lighting is proposed to comply with
maximum height and light source shielding requirements. Poles and fixtures would be dark
bronze in color. A windmill-like architectural feature is proposed at the front property line near
the center of the front parking lot. A paver walkway extends from this feature to the walkway in
front of the store. Other parking lot crosswalks would have painted markings.
Strassman stated that the subdivision is a preliminary and final plat to be reviewed and acted on.
The plat proposes to divide the property logically to accommodate the proposed improvements.
An additional public utility easement must be provided to access the electric transformer in the
parking lot. Right of way dedications at the Shumway Avenue corners are acceptable. The
Wilson Street right of way dedication jogs to accommodate the proposed Walgreens sign. This
jog should be removed.
Staff generally agrees with BEI’s stated rationale for the requested sign setback and landscape
area variances. The City’s requiring additional dedication for Wilson Street imposes a burden to
the applicant by limiting available space for the sign to meet the required setback and landscape
area. While landscape area would be reduced, tree and shrub quantities are compliant.
Removing the Wilson Street right of way jog will eliminate the proposed Walgreens sign
setback, resulting in the sign having a near 0 foot setback. Staff feels this further reduced
setback is acceptable to allow for the requested right of way.
The requested sign height variance to allow for the existing Batavia Plaza sign to be used is
reasonable. The visibility constraints caused by the Wilson Street elevation change and the need
to provide a safe access that aligns with the McDonald’s access does create a practical difficulty
in designing an effective sign structure.
Strassman read the Findings of Fact to the Board and explained how these Findings all could be
found in the affirmative.
Landscaping must be added to screen the transformer that has been relocated from an island near
the drive-through on the approved plan to the now proposed location between the Walgreens
building and the Shumway access. Additionally, the landscape plan proposes using the
Aristocrat Flowering Pear that should not be planted as it can invade wetlands. Staff also prefers
greater tree species diversity along First Street.
March 4, 2015
Page 5
The proposed windmill feature to highlight the main pedestrian entrance to the site likewise fits
the character of the site and of downtown Batavia. The specifications for this element show 4
support posts, but the landscape plan shows locations for only 2 posts.
While the proposed lowering of the drive-through canopy and minor building material changes
fit the overall design of the building, these changes, along with wall signage, must be must be
reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission as part of the overall Certificate of
Appropriateness approval process. Staff feels the Commission can support these proposed
changes.
The Commission’s 2013 design review approval included a condition of all parking lot
crosswalks to be stamped asphalt. The proposed paver walk extending from the windmill entry
feature through the parking lot meets the spirit of this condition. The now proposed painted
markings for the remainder of the crosswalks need to be designed per the Commission’s
condition of approval. Strassman read the Findings for the Design Review and stated that staff
feels that all of these findings can be met with the proposed Design Review this evening.
Strassman stated that staff recommends the ZBA recommend City Council approval of the
following variances from Zoning Code:
1. Section 4.303.S.1.b to allow a mulched planting area extending less than 5 feet from all
sides of the base for both proposed freestanding signs, as represented in the plans
submitted by the applicant;
2. Section 4.407.B.2.a(2) to allow the existing Batavia Plaza sign to be installed at a height
(measured to the top of the Batavia Plaza panel) of approximately 9 feet above grade, as
represented in the plans submitted by the applicant; and
3. Section 4.407.B.2.a(4) to allow a setback less than 5 feet from the ROW for both
proposed freestanding signs, as represented in the plans submitted by the applicant, with
the right-of-way revised per the approved Final Plat of Subdivision.
Staff recommends the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Preliminary/Final Plat of
Subdivision subject to the following:
1. Removal of the jog in the proposed Wilson Street right-of-way dedication by proposing a
straight right-of-way line from the existing right-of-way line to the east through the
proposed west terminus of the proposed dedication;
2. Staff approval of an additional dedicated public utility easement to access the electric
transformer in the parking lot; and
3. Adding an owner’s certificate of approval by the City of Batavia.
Staff recommends the Commission approve the design review subject to the following
conditions:
1. City Council approval of the additional requested variances;
2. City Council approval of the Final Plat of Subdivision;
3. Revision of the landscape plans to propose the required electric transformer screening;
4. Revision of the landscape plans to replace the Aristocrat Flowering Pear with another
overstory tree;
5. Revision of the landscape plans to diversify the tree species along First Street;

Chair LaLonde asked for those who intends on giving testimony to be sworn into the meeting.
Those interested in addressing the ZBA and PC were sworn in.
Dan Stellato, President of BEI, addressed the ZBA and PC. He stated that the whole team is here
to answer any questions. Harms asked about the windmill feature. Stellato answered that it would
be a feature that you would walk under to enter the walkway to Walgreen’s. Stellato showed the
ZBA and PC the site plan for their review. The Windmill would be nine feet high. It will be fixed
and will not turn. LaLonde stated that he feels that four posts would be overkill on this feature.
He likes the proportion of two posts. Weiss agreed. Stellato stated that tow posts can be used to
support this feature.
LaLonde asked if the same stone would be used through the site. Stellato stated that the same
stone would be used throughout the site. Lalonde stated that he would like the stone to match.
LaLonde added that he would like an access from the parking lot to the First Street sidewalk. He
explained that with the walls and fences, there is no easy access across First Street without going
through the access to the west. Stellato stated that he agrees and they could accommodate that
change. LaLonde was wondering of the functionality of the permeable pavers. Stellato stated that
it was for storm water management only.
Dave Shindoll, Mackey Consultants, stated that there are two stretches of the proposed
permeable pavers on the east side and the southeast side. They are intended to provide water
quality benefits and water volume reduction. It was included and submitted as part of the
stormwater submittal to the engineering department.
LaLonde asked about the fencing. Stellato stated that the fence would have a picket style
wrought iron and cast in place stone columns. It would all match. LaLonde asked if natural stone
would be the feature along the perimeter of the property. Stellato stated that they would
replicating what the City uses in front of the Newton House and the Library up front along
Wilson.
Stellato stated that Walgreens specifications are there cannot be brick pavers for the parking lot
crosswalks because vehicles disrupt it. Everything else should be stamped asphalt throughout the
parking lot. Strassman asked if the walkway leading south from the architectural feature is
stamped asphalt. Stellato answered that it would be.

Stellato agreed with the diversity of trees along First Street and the other staff recommendations

Public Hearing: Zoning Map Amendment – Braeburn West (West of Randall Road
and South of South Drive), Single Family Residential to POS Parks and Open Space
with Arterial Setback Overlay Districts. City of Batavia, applicant
Rackow stated that this is to review a zoning change for a portion of Braeburn West and the
McKee tributary drainage area west of Randall Road. This property was annexed into the City
last year. This property was donated as part of the drainage requirements for a number of the
projects that occurred in this particular area. The proposed Zoning would take the properties
from the default R0, single family zoning, to a POS, Parks and Open Space, zoning designation
along with providing the Arterial Setback Overlay District along Randall Road. This property
has no buildings on the property and it is highly unlikely development would happen on this
property. This property is intended to provide stormwater drainage to this area as well as passive
open space as an open natural area. The setbacks and overall building height would be changed
to be more restrictive. As noted of the staff report, the three areas of review occurred and the
property is on the Land Use Map as POS and the change would be consistent with the Zoning
Map. Staff prepared draft findings for the Commission to review.

property beyond the drainage improvements that were done a few years ago. Kieckhefer asked
what are the allowed uses for land zoned POS. Rackow answered that the district permitted a
limited list of outdoor uses that would include: farmstands, stormwater management, outdoor
recreation and entertainment, agritainment (e.g. corn mazes), and golf courses (which would
require City Council approval). . Certain types of uses, including those recreation uses with
outdoor lightning would require Conditional Use review.
Diana Ward, 2517 Hansford Ave, asked about the brown rectangle on the Zoning Map. Rackow

Ald. Stark announced this grant agreement for $100,000 of TIF money came before the Joint

Execution of a Downtown Grant Agreement with Batavia Library District.
Doug Sullivan president of the Batavia Library Board, announced that subsequent to the request
it has become clear that the best path forward is that the library withdraw the grant application
and work with the city on another grant proposal that would better suit the needs of both the city
and the library in the future.
Ald. Stark withdrew her motion for Res 15-51-R and Ald. Brown, the second, concurred.
Mayors Schielke believes that the Library has worked hard to be a key player in working with
and supporting the City of Batavia. He thinks this issue should have been discussed to a greater
degree at committee meetings. He commended the Library for all their innovative ideas that help
the City and looks forward to working with the Library in the future.

yea/ 0 nay/ 0 absent.
14. APPROVAL: Batavia Avenue Crosswalk at Houston (Gary Holm 4/17/15)
Ald. Wolff explained that at this point the recommendation from the cow is to not build the
median island.
Ald. Atac offered there is more information that has come forward since the last cow meeting
and feels the decision may have been rushed as it has since been found out the crosswalk can go
back for redesign. She would like to delay this and get all the stakeholders including the local
business owners and Bicycle commission together for discussion. She noted the Bicycle
Commission has spent a long time on this as this crossing is a key one for bicyclists and
pedestrians as it offers a direct route to the pedestrian bridge over the river. She would like to get
more information before a final decision is reached.
Ald. Clark knows this has been discussed since 2012 by the Bicycle Commission; a group of
citizens who volunteered their time and worked hard on this. The council needs to be respectful
of our residents who volunteer their time and make sure they feel they have made a difference.
Ald. Stark believes there has been a lack of communication in that this has not been brought up
since 2012 when first discussed and the makeup of the council has changed significantly since it
was first discussed. She further noted that if she was surprised by the final plan it was a bigger
surprise to the business owners and stakeholders. This needs to go back to the Committee of the
Whole for a more fleshed out discussion to see if a good compromise can be found
Ald. Wolff recalled the council wanted safe crosswalks and identified 7 sites on Route 31 and 25.
The Bicycle Commission was instrumental in going out and getting the money needed for the
project and he commended them for that. However to have the drawings that were done in 2014
not brought before the council until the surveying was being done was not good and he does not
know how the ball got dropped. In his opinion the design is not functional and it is right in the
middle of a business owner’s driveway, a business he works at and sees the impact it would have
firsthand. The police chief has stated in a memo that the size of the island would give a false
sense of security. He does not know what IDOT will allow there and it is between two signalized
improved safer crosswalks, the northern one being at McKee Street which will feed to the north
side of Houston Street.
Ald. Atac would like to have an investigation into whether the city or IDOT directed the design
and have a discussion about redesigning the island to make it better, she noted this is a direct
route to the bike path and that Batavia is branding itself as a bikable city. She has spoken to the
owner of the business who does not object to a crosswalk there, just to this design.
Ald. Brown appreciates the discussion but would like to hear what the Director of Public works
has to say on the matter. If there is time it should go back to committee.
Public Works Director Gary Holm discussed the options available; to continue with plans as
approved; to go through with decision of the committee of the whole, however anything that
does not go along with IDOT’s plans could cause IDOT to defund the project but that is a very
small chance; or to ask IDOT will hold open the contract to allow a redesign. Holm needs to call
IDOT to find out what they will allow.
Mayor Schielke has spoken with IDOT and feels they will work with the city.
Ald. Botterman asked if IDOT will still not allow a beacon at Houston Street. Holm stated that
because there is a nearby signalized crosswalk and a beacon at McKee. IDOT will not allow a
beacon at Houston.
Motion by Ald. Brown, seconded by Ald. Hohmann to return the approval for the Batavia
Avenue crosswalk at Houston. Motion carried 14 yea/ 0 nay/ 0 absent.

Motion by Ald. Stark, seconded by Ald. McFadden to approve the appointment of staff
positions. Motion carried 14 yea/ 0 nay/ 0 absent.
Ald. Clark made the following comments on her time on the city council:
I never would have thought when I was helping my daughter sell girl scout cookies at the
mayor’s house years ago that I would end up being on the city council someday.
When I was appointed in 2001, my kids were 9 and 11, now they are 24 and 22. My husband has
been my sounding board and has listened to me over the years after I come home from meetings
frustrated with issues. He won’t miss that. Either will I.
But I will miss the people and the involvement in the community. I will have to find a new outlet
for my time.
I’ve learned a lot, met a lot of people and made some good friends. The hardest part of this job
is that no matter how hard you try you can’t make everyone happy. That is the part I have
struggled with over the years. You just want to do your best and I can say that I have. I’m proud
to say that I have served on the city council for almost 14 years.

Resolution 15-71-R Authorizing approval of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Phase II Stormwater Quality Regulations - Notice of Intent for
Renewal of General Permit to Discharge Stormwater
Resolution 15-71-R Authorizing the approval of the 2014 NPDES Phase II Notice of Intent
Introduction:
Attached for your review and approval is a copy of the proposed City of Batavia Notice of Intent
(NOI) that will be submitted to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) as an application
to renew the permit that allows the City to discharge its stormwater runoff into local streams, rivers,
lakes, and wetlands that are classified as Waters of the United States. City Council approval of the
NOI is necessary because the City is subsequently obligated to meet the measurable goals described
therein that are intended to reduce the pollutants in stormwater that we discharge.
Background:
The NPDES Phase II requirements are part of a phased approach to protecting and improving the
quality of natural waters as required by the 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act. The provisions
of our permit require that the City maintain a stormwater management program that must include the
following six minimum control measures:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Public Education and Outreach
Public Participation/Involvement
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Construction Site Runoff Control
Post-Construction Runoff Control
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
The intent of these measures is to reduce the pollutants in our stormwater to the maximum extent
practicable. The IEPA defines stormwater as being stormwater runoff, snowmelt runoff, surface runoff
and drainage.
Permit For 2003-2008:
The original NOI for the City was approved at the April 07, 2003 City Council meeting and submitted
to the IEPA on April 08, 2003. Subsequently, the IEPA issued NPDES Permit #ILR400288 to the City
on September 20, 2004. This permit covered the period from March 01, 2003 to February 29, 2008. A
copy of this permit is attached for your information.
The City Engineering Department has submitted annual inspection reports to the IEPA documenting
the City’s compliance with the approved NOI and corresponding NPDES Permit #ILR400288. Copies
of these compliance reports are available for public review on the City’s website in the Engineering
Division section under NPDES II (Water Resources).

Re: NPDES Phase II Stormwater Quality Regulations
Notice of Intent for Renewal of General Permit to Discharge Stormwater
Permit Renewed For 2008-2013 (2014):
The NOI included descriptions of both existing (at the time) and proposed City programs and
procedures to address the six minimum control measures. Part IV of the NOI covers “Measurable
Goals” for the implementation of the Best Management Practices (BMP’s) that staff is proposing.
Some of the proposed programs were conditioned on the availability of funding. During that renewal /
permit period funding and staffing were at lows and some measures were modified or eliminated. In
addition, this permit was to be for 5 years but changes at the IEPA modified the terms for another
calendar year, therefore going until March 2014.
Permit Renewal For 2014-2019 (2020?):
The NOI permit renewal included descriptions of existing City programs and procedures to address the
six minimum control measures. Part IV of the NOI covers “Measurable Goals” for the implementation
of the Best Management Practices (BMP’s) that staff is proposing. Some of the proposed programs
were modified from the previous 5-6 year period due to change in event, lack of funding, etc. In
addition more items were added that the City currently does but was not accounting for in our permit.
The IEPA still has yet to issue the new permit for this 5 or 6 year period due to their low staffing levels
and multiple changes being debated at the State level that are being required from the Federal level.
As time goes by the regulations will become more intensive, requiring more staff time and potentially
funding to meet the requirements that are proposed. The City is trying to get itself in a good position
for the time when those implementations are mandated.

Tri City Ambulance operates based upon an intergovernmental agreement between the City of
St. Charles, the City of Geneva, the City of Batavia, Batavia Township and Countryside Fire
Protection District, and Geneva Township. The Board of Directors is comprised of two members
of the corporate authorities of each of the cities, one trustee of Batavia Township and
Countryside Fire Protection District and one supervisor of the Geneva Township. The Mayor,
with the advice and consent of the City Council of each city, appoints the representatives for the
city.
At their May 15 Board Meeting, the Tri City Ambulance Board passed a resolution in support of
the member agencies authorizing a Memorandum of Understanding that enables the member
agencies to designate an alternate member to the Board. The Inter-Governmental Agreement
requires that one member from each City be present for a quorum to be reached. A discussion of
past scheduling issues has resulted in the Board desiring to allow the appointment of an alternate
member, who may be the Fire Chief of the City represented, so that a quorum can be more easily
assured. The approval of the MOU would ensure that regular meetings can take place and the
functions of the agency will continue as directed.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Council authorization for the Mayor to Sign the Memorandum of
Understanding for the Tri City Ambulance Service at the June 9 Committee of the Whole
Meeting and then to the City Council agenda of Monday, June 15, 2015 for approval and
to appoint an alternate to the Tri City Ambulance Board.

The USS Illinois Commissioning Committee held a “Ship’s Crest” contest as part of its ongoing
efforts to promote awareness within the state of Illinois of the construction of the USS Illinois.
The Ship’s Crest Art Contest Selection Committee met and had a most difficult time selecting
five finalists from the 149 entries. The USS ILLINOIS (SSN-786) crew viewed and voted on the
five finalist entries.
Two Batavia students were finalists, but the overall winner of the USS ILLINOIS Ship’s Crest
Art Contest was a young man from downstate Roseville. That person was Christopher M. Durdle
and his crest was chosen from among 143 students who submitted designs for the ship’s crest of
the USS Illinois, a $2.8 billion nuclear submarine that’s expected to be completed by the end of
this year. Many members of the committee are part of the Aurora Navy League.
Among the five finalists were Angela M. Anderson and Hanna J. Frazier both Batavia High
School students
“All were excellent, and the USS ILLINOIS (SSN-786) Commissioning Committee, and the ship
itself, extend our sincere thanks for all the hard work and creativity that all entrants put into their
designs,” the Aurora Navy League said in a press release.
A Recognition Lunch for the five finalists was held at the Union League Club of Chicago on
Thursday, April 2, 2015, and the Commanding Officer of the USS ILLINOIS presented awards
to the students including our Batavia students.

Appointment of Human Resources Director
I am pleased to submit the appointment of Wendy Bednarek of Batavia as the next Human
Resources Director. I have listened very carefully to the input I received from the members of
the City Council and the City Administrator whose recommendation to hire Wendy was the
result of a process that included review of all resumes and applications by Bill McGrath and HR
staff, reviews by Department heads of the top 5 candidates, interviews of the top 5 by Bill and
Kathy Lamkin, St. Charles HR Director, interviews with the top 2 candidates by Bill, the HR
staff, the Department Heads, and a volunteer group of employees, as well as reference calls.
As an aside, this position was advertised in; professional publications and of course was picked
up by various job sites. We had a total of 45 applications including people from both public and
private sectors. Batavia has a strong anti-nepotism policy, and Wendy is not related to anyone
currently employed by the City nor serving as an elected official here.
After speaking with me about the process and especially our session last week, Bill extended an
offer of employment to Wendy, conditioned upon my appointment, your confirmation and
passage of a background check and pre employment physical.
As Bill reported this week, Wendy has accepted subject to the conditions, is very excited to be
working here, and would plan to start on Monday July 6, 2015. She would appear that evening
at the CC meeting.
She has since passed the background check and will be taking a physical next week. We should
be in receipt of those results before next Monday’s CC meeting. Wendy will join our team as a
salaried employee earning $119,766 annually, a seventh step position in a seven-step range,
which still represents a pay cut.
Here are the formal reasons why I would like to make this appointment:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Your comments and reactions at the meeting with the candidates last week
Recommendation of the City Administrator
Thorough process, including all staff levels and an outside HR professional
Wendy’s experience in a like-sized community in the same position, including
experience with multiple bargaining units
Wendy’s experience in the private sector
Wendy’s experience with succession planning and training
The fact that Wendy is a Batavia resident which she recognizes as both an additional
motivation as well as involving a heightened level of accountability to the community.
This matter of his appointment will be on the June 15 Council agenda. Wendy hopefully will be
present.
Thank you again for your participation. As I mentioned the other evening I would like to utilize
this kind of process for all my appointments and hope it gives you a heightened sense of
confidence in our work to staff the organization with the best employees possible. I feel this
appointment will strengthen the team we have serving the community. Please call with any
questions.

Joel Strassman, Planning and Zoning Officer
SUBJECT: Ordinance 15-21: Amending the Larson Commons Annexation Agreement
David A. Parker, with support of all Larson Commons Subdivision owners, applicant
Summary: David A. Parker is seeking to remove the 40 and 45 foot rear setbacks required for 4 lots in the Larson
Commons Subdivision, commonly known as Trudy Court. This removal would allow the Zoning Code-required rear
setback of 30 feet for these R1-M Single Family Medium Density zoned properties to prevail.
Background: The property comprising Larson Commons is located along Trudy Court and was annexed to the City
in 1997. Its 10 residences were built over a period of 5 years. The annexation agreement specifies 40 and 45 foot
rear setbacks on 4 lots and the plat of subdivision shows these setbacks as “Industrial Buffers.”
The Industrial Buffers were intended to inform potential buyers of homes or lots that industrially-used properties are
located to the east, adjacent to those 4 properties. The 10-15 feet of additional rear yard setback would add space
between the industrial uses and the residences.
In his application, Mr. Parker states that all owners in Larson Commons believe the 40-45 foot rear setbacks for the
affected properties are unnecessary and overly restrictive. Amending the annexation agreement as proposed, and
recording a plat of abrogation for the Industrial Buffers that appear on the plat of subdivision, would remove the
larger rear setback, leaving the Zoning Code rear setback requirement of 30 feet as the effective regulation.
Staff agrees with the opinion of the Larson Commons owners. Current owners are aware of the presence of the
proximate industrial uses and prospective successor owners would discover the same with any due diligence effort.
Staff notes that a small portion of the rear of Lots 8 and 9 would have to locate structures more than 30 feet from the
rear property line due to the presence of 2 easements that occupy up to 50 feet of the rear yard.
Alternatives: The COW can recommend approval or denial. The COW may also review other parts of the
annexation agreement and direct staff to pursue other amendments with the applicant. Staff feels that the agreement
does not need other amendments and that the proposed amendment is least amount of change needed to allow the
current Zoning Code’s setback requirement to prevail.
•
•
•
•
Pros – Approval allows development consistent with the Zoning Code’s rear setback requirement and with
what is required on other properties in Larson Commons.
Cons – There would be increased potential to have 4 residences located closer to existing industrial uses.
Budget Impact – None.
Staff Impact – None.
Timeline for Actions: After recommending action, staff would schedule a public hearing for the agreement
amendment for the June 15th City Council meeting. The City Council could approve or deny the Ordinance for the
agreement amendment at that meeting. If the COW directs staff to seek other changes to the agreement the timeline
would be delayed.
Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of draft Ordinance 15-21 as presented.

WHEREAS, on October 6, 1997, the City Council authorized the execution of an Annexation
Agreement for Larson (aka Larsen) Commons between the City of Batavia and Knierim and
Hinds, LLC & George and Gertrude Kramer, pursuant to Ordinance Number 97-54; and
WHEREAS, development pursuant to this agreement has occurred and the subdivision is now
built-out; and
WHEREAS, certain lots in Larson Commons Subdivision are subject to “Industrial Buffers”
that equate to 40 and 45 foot rear yard Setbacks that were greater than the rear setback that
would otherwise be required; and
WHEREAS, said Industrial Buffers and Setbacks were intended to serve as notice from the
developers of Larson Commons to potential purchasers of lots and/or residences that residences
on these lots would need to be set back further from adjacent industrially used property; and
WHEREAS, adjacency of industrially used property is self-evident and said notice thereof and
the said Buffers and Setbacks are no longer needed; and
WHEREAS, said lots would benefit from being subject to the same rear setback rights and
restrictions of other lots in Larson Commons and the base zoning district; and
WHEREAS, David A. Parker, an owner in Larson Commons, with support of all Larson
Commons property owners and its owners’ association, has applied to amend the effective
annexation agreement to remove the required 40 and 45 foot rear yard Industrial Buffers and
replace them with 30 foot setbacks, allowing for the abrogation of the Industrial Buffers from the
Larson Commons PUD Subdivision; and
WHEREAS, removal and abrogation of said Buffers would render the setback required per the
City of Batavia Zoning Code to prevail, allowing development potential of said lots to be
identical with respect to the applicable setback as other properties in Larson Commons while
simplifying application of the City Code; and
CITY OF BATAVIA, ILLINOIS ORDINANCE 15-21
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City of Batavia to amend said Agreement as

Pedestrian Crossing Improvements at Houston Street and Batavia Avenue
Background
In 2012, the City received Federal funding for pedestrian crossing improvements to eight (8)
intersections along Routes 25 & 31. The general goal of the project is to improve pedestrian
safety by installing flashing beacons, new accessible sidewalk ramps and signage. Final
engineering plans were completed in 2013 and construction started in early spring of 2015. At
this time, construction work has been completed at all locations except Batavia Avenue (IL 31)
and Houston Street intersection.
Summary
The intersection of Batavia Avenue and Houston Street is proposed to receive new accessible
sidewalk ramps, signage and a raised concrete center median. The proposed median is for the
south leg of the intersection and is meant to provide a higher level of safety for pedestrians
crossing Batavia Avenue. The median was proposed to be constructed in the same area as the
existing striped center island. On April 15, the business owner at the southwest corner of that
intersection expressed concern that the proposed concrete median would significantly impact
access to his business. Based on that concern, the City Council directed staff not to make the
proposed improvements and explore other alternatives.
Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) owns and maintains Batavia Avenue which is also
known as IL 31. In addition, this project is funded through IDOT using federal grant program.
Hence, to explore alternatives, the City staff along with City’s consultants met with IDOT on
May 19 to discuss different design options. At that meeting, IDOT requested a traffic count for
the intersection of Batavia and Houston Ave. A follow-up traffic count was performed by the
City’s consultant on May 20. The traffic data was then submitted to IDOT for their review.
Based on traffic data and to provide safe pedestrian movements, IDOT has agreed that the City
can choose from one of the following three different design alternatives (attached). All these
alternatives were presented to the business owner (Mr. Oke and his son), bike commission
representative (Mr. Gamble) and Batavia Police Department on May 29.
Alternative 1- The City can proceed as per the approved design of Batavia Avenue and Houston
Street improvement (see attached). This alternative will include raised concrete median,
sidewalk ramps and signage. The main purpose of the center median is to provide a safe refuge
for pedestrians as they cross Batavia Ave which is an arterial street. According to Federal
Highway Administration study, pedestrian crash risk for crossing uncontrolled arterial
intersections without a median is 6.48 times higher than for crossing the arterial with a median.
As a result, this alternative was chosen as the preferred alternative during the design phase.
The fuel station business currently has two full-access driveways along Batavia Avenue. The
proposed median would prevent northbound vehicles from turning left into the northernmost
driveway. Consequently, the gas station’s northernmost driveway will operate as right in/right
out only whereas the southern driveway access will not be impacted at all. In addition to these
two full-access drivewaysalong Batavia Avenue, the business currently has two full-access
driveways onto Houston Street. If a passenger vehicle wants to head north, then it can exit onto
Houston Street and make the northbound turn onto Batavia Avenue.
Alternative 2- The City can install a left turn lane to facilitate movements from northbound
Batavia Ave. to westbound Houston St. The City can install a marked crosswalk on both the
north and south legs of the intersection or just one side of the intersection (see attached). The
current traffic count does not warrant a left turn lane however IDOT would like to have 10 feet
left turn installed so that turning traffic is not holding up the northbound through traffic. In this
case, the through lanes will be reduced to 11 feet (currently 12 feet). This option does not
provide raised concrete median for pedestrians however will improve the pedestrian safety over
current conditions through additional signage on Batavia Ave. According to Illinois State Law,
motoring vehicles shall be required to stop for pedestrians while they cross 5 lanes of Batavia
Avenue. This alternative often creates confusion between the pedestrians and vehicles as people
are not always aware who has preference over another. As a result, pedestrians could get
stranded in the middle of Batavia Avenue.
Alternative 3- The City can choose not to make any pedestrian improvements at the intersection
of Batavia Avenue and Houston Street. In this case, no new sidewalk ramps, or signage will be
provided to assist pedestrians crossing Batavia Ave. IDOT is currently resurfacing Batavia
Avenue and is expected to complete the project by June 15. After the completion of resurfacing,
IDOT will install the painted median as it existed before. No pedestrian crosswalk will be
provided either by IDOT or by the City.
Discussion
The Council had many discussions about Batavia Avenue being an obstacle to connecting the
west side to downtown. In fact, this project is in direct response to that and merited 80% funding
from the state of Illinois. The Strategic Plan theme of “Community Connectivity” contains a
goal of “incorporating connected infrastructure” and an objective of “identifying solutions to
pedestrian crossing problem areas.”
The general consensus among IDOT, City staffs and City’s consultant, is that raised median will
improve pedestrian and bicycle safety crossing Batavia Avenue. The staff recognizes that the
median will present a barrier to northbound customers who access the gas station through the
northern driveway located on Batavia Avenue. However, staff feels that these customers will
either start using the southern full access on Batavia Avenue or they will turn onto Houston
Street to access and exit the Gas station. Construction of the raised median as proposed will
result in a simplification of turning movements to and from Batavia Avenue. Furthermore, the
raised median will provide safety balance between pedestrian, bicyclist and vehicles movement
at the intersection of Batavia Avenue and Houston Street.
Recommendation
Based on the factors cited above, Staff is recommending that the City Council continue
with construction of the barrier pedestrian center median as shown on the attached
Alternative-1.

RECOMMENDING A PREFERRED DESIGN ALTERNATE FOR
THE HOUSTON STREET / BATAVIA AVENUE PEDESTRIAN
CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, the City has received Federal funding for pedestrian crossing
improvements along Batavia Avenue and Rte. 25, including the intersection of Houston
Street and Batavia Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to improve pedestrian safety at the Houston Street /
Batavia Ave. intersection; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to minimize any negative impacts that the
pedestrian crossing improvements would have on neighboring businesses; and
WHEREAS, the design of the pedestrian crossing improvements was previously
approved by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT); and
WHEREAS, any subsequent design revisions will require further review and
approval from IDOT; and
WHEREAS, the City has considered several design alternatives for the Houston
Street / Batavia Ave. intersection improvements; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that Alternative #1, a single crossing on the
south leg of the intersection with a barrier curb raised center median, is the best overall
option;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and City Council of
the City of Batavia as follows:
1. That the pedestrian crossing improvements at Houston Street and Batavia
Avenue be completed in accordance with the previously approved design
plans which include a raised center median.
