Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement for Technical Planning Services with the McLean County Regional Planning Commission
Prepared By: Mercy Davison, Town Planner Reviewed By: Pamela S. Reece, City Manager and Brian Day, Corporation Counsel Staff Recommendation: Approval Attachments: Proposed Resolution; Proposed Agreement
Community Impact The Town’s decades-long partnership with McLean County Regional Planning Commission has resulted in meaningful, inclusive efforts to plan for and shape the future of our community and region. Continued collaboration will be critical as the Town works to achieve the ambitious, yet attainable goals of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Budget Impact Adequate funds are budgeted in Line 001-1030413.30-55 to cover the $54,000 agreement amount.
Strategic Alignment
The breadth of subject matter that the Regional Planning Commission addresses hits upon all aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. Packet Pg. C - 2
Background The McLean County Regional Planning Commission (MCRPC) has provided long-range planning services to the Town of Normal for more than four decades. Annually, the Town and the Commission enter into an intergovernmental agreement, which specifies the planning services to be provided to the Town for the coming twelve-month period. The following is the list of services proposed to be provided by MCRPC from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022, as stated in the attached agreement along with notes on recent services provided in each of these service categories.
1. Assistance with periodic updates of plans and ordinances that pertain to planning and development, including the Comprehensive Plan, zoning ordinances, and subdivision regulations as needed.
MCRPC is in discussions with McLean County regarding the preparation of a new Comprehensive Plan for the county following the release of the latest Census data. That planning process will involve coordination with Town and City staff.
2. Prepare or coordinate the preparation and updating of reports that are an integral part of the McLean County Transportation Study, including the Unified Work Program (UWP), Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
MCRPC is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Bloomington-Normal urbanized area, as designated by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) goals and objectives establish the foundation for this planning work. The most recent LRTP was adopted in 2017 by the MCRPC Transportation Policy Committee, which is composed of representatives from the Town, the City, the County, IDOT, and MCRPC. As the MPO, Regional Planning must also annually establish a Unified Work Program (UWP) to list the work that MCRPC will do on transportation-related projects. MCRPC must also file quarterly reports to IDOT regarding progress on the UWP.
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is also approved by the Transportation Policy Committee. The TIP is a five-year record of road, bicycle, and pedestrian transportation projects along with transit capital and operations projects located within the 25-Year Planning Boundary of the Bloomington-Normal Urbanized Area. This provides a complete view of how local projects are funded, the amount invested by local, state, and federal governments, and the total investment needed to support a structurally and fiscally sustainable transportation system. All projects in the TIP must be consistent with the LRTP. The most recent TIP was adopted in summer 2020.
Regional Planning has also worked to include autonomous vehicle considerations and other elements of broader Smart Cities initiatives into its transportation planning efforts in recent years.
3. Maintenance of a website to post statistical data, plans and studies, and other planning-related information to serve as a resource for local governments and the public.
In recent years, MCRPC has created and continues to update several dashboards for public consumption. These include the following:
• BN Vitals Dashboard – This includes hundreds of data points pertaining to factors such as demographics, talent, employment, business & entrepreneurship, industries, real estate, tax revenue, equity and quality of place. The site also includes interactive graphs and maps. • Housing Dashboard – This provides updated information about current housing statistics in McLean County, including housing types, tenure, value and distribution across the community. Packet Pg. C - 3
• Transportation Dashboard – This includes statistics such as road lane miles, infrastructure condition, transit service, safety, commuting modes, and more.
MCRPC has also created and continues to expand a Greenways “story map,” using GIS to provide information about local recreational opportunities in natural areas.
4. Assistance in the preparation of applications for Federal or State funding as needed.
Examples of this type of assistance include the successful application for the Vision Zero grant to improve safety throughout the community and the successful application for grant funds for the Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) project. MCRPC also obtained a state grant to cover the Town’s Master Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update and handled grant administration with IDOT.
5. Attendance at meetings of county and municipal government and civic organizations or other groups interested in planning and development as requested and as schedules permit.
6. Technical assistance as needed and requested in matters of long-range planning and development.
Examples of this type of technical assistance include the following: • creation of a pedestrian level of service analysis for the Town’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and ongoing coordination with data collection from the trail counters • collaboration with Connect Transit, SHOW BUS, local service providers, and local government to provide public transit service to the community • fiscal management of grant funds for the Bloomington-Normal Wireless Infrastructure Guidelines (5G) project • coordination of the Old Route 66 Catalog project, with funding from IDOT • coordination of the Greenways Committee activities
MCRPC is requesting a $54,000 fee for these services in 2021-22, which is the same as the FY2020-21 agreement.
Discussion For many years McLean County Regional Planning has performed extremely valuable services for the Town at a reasonable fee. Thus, Town staff recommends approval of the proposed agreement.

Resolution to Accept a Five Year Proposal from M.E. Simpson Co. for Large Meter Testing Services
Prepared By: John Burkhart, Director of Water
Reviewed By: Pamela S. Reece, City Manager
Staff Recommendation: Approval
Attachments: Proposed Resolution
Community Impact Accurate water meters are important to ensure end users are charged for accurate usage. The large meters (3” and up) that will be tested, have different internal components than the typical house meter. These internal components can deteriorate over time and cause meters to under register actual consumption.
Budget Impact Funds in the amount of $26,200 are budgeted in account number 502-8030-434.20-10 of the FY2021-22 Water Department budget.
Strategic Alignment
Packet Pg. E - 2
Background In November of 2006, the Town entered into an agreement with the M. E. Simpson Company for large meter testing services. Since that time, agreements have been approved where one fourth to one third of the large meters are tested each year for accuracy. This testing and repair program has been extremely successful as the costs are generally recovered in a matter of a few months. The current agreement expired at the end of 2020.
The Water Department currently has approximately 134 water meters in the distribution system used for billing purposes that are three inches and larger. These meters are generally compound type water meters and provide the basis for approximately 25% of the billed consumption. All water meters become worn over time and, due to wear, the water meter will register less than the actual quantity used. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommendations for testing intervals for meters of this size and type range from two to five years depending on the amount of water that has gone through the meter, the temperature, the corrosivity of the water, the presence of entrained air, and the presence of any suspended matter. Due to the difficulty in removing large meters for offsite testing and the associated interruptions in service, larger water meters are generally tested in place utilizing specialized equipment and procedures. Rather than owning the specialized equipment and performing large meter testing “in house”, many water utilities contract for these services. In effect this also allows for “independent verification” of accuracy. Approximately 50 meters are tested each year.
Discussion A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was posted in the Normalite and on the Town’s website May 20, 2021. The RFQ asked each firm to provide general company information, experience with large meter testing and repair, experience with various meter manufacturers products, ability to provide detailed documentation of work performed, available equipment, qualifications of key personnel, an overview of how the work will be completed and if any assistance by the Town of Normal will be required.
One company, M.E. Simpson, submitted a proposal for performing large meter testing services. M.E. Simpson is a nationally known and respected contractor for meter testing services, and has been providing meter testing services to the Town of Normal since 2006. Staff have been extremely satisfied with the service, documentation and abilities of M.E. Simpson to perform the work. They have been very accommodating and interact well with the customers. Pricing is broken out into two categories: test and calibrate/post test. If the meter tests within AWWA specs, the Town is only charged the testing service. If the meter does not test within AWWA specs, repairs are made to the meter and then the meter is retested to verify accuracy. The proposed costs are as follows:
Meter Testing Services 3” through 6” compound meters 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 $325 $325 $325 $335 $335
Calibrate/Post Testing 3” through 6” compound meters 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 $150 $150 $150 $150 $150 Packet Pg. E - 3
Staff is recommending approval of the five year proposal from M.E. Simpson for large meter testing services. This project is completed once per year and is expected to start in July and be completed within three weeks.

Resolution to Accept a Proposal with Crawford, Murphy and Tilly Engineers for a Hydraulic Model of the Water Distribution System at a Total Cost Not to Exceed $115,000 and Approve an Associated Budget Adjustment
Prepared By: John Burkhart, Director of Water
Reviewed By: Eric Hanson, Assistant City Manager
Staff Recommendation: Approval
Attachments: Proposed Resolution, Scope of Work
Community Impact The completion of a calibrated hydraulic model of the Town water system will be another tool and valuable asset the department can utilize to help assist in planning for expansion, determine priority areas for line and equipment replacement, and identify efficiencies that may be realized in the water system. The model will also provide more accurate estimates on the age of water found within the system that can ultimately be improved to reduce complaints and improve overall quality.
Budget Impact Funds in the amount of $95,000 are budgeted in account number 505-8040-434.20-10 of the Water Department’s FY2021-22 Capital Budget.
Strategic Alignment: Packet Pg. F - 2
Background Each year Water Department staff evaluate projects for replacement based on the currently available system data and information of the water system. In addition, staff work with customers to address any ongoing water quality issues that require additional repair. Even though town staff have access to historical data and information about the water system, any pressurized piping system, like the water distribution system, is hard to predict how it operates and how it will react when annual updates/upgrades to the system are completed.
One tool water utility’s use to plan for necessary line replacement projects, future growth and diagnosing water quality concerns is completing a calibrated hydraulic water system model. Water models are a valuable tool to assist in identifying priorities within the system for future replacement projects, can be used to improve daily operating decisions like optimizing turnover of water within the various storage tanks, as well as a long-term system planning tool. The study includes creating an existing system model to determine areas of high/low pressure, locations with excess headloss (pressure), locations with inadequate fire flows, and evaluating water age. Recommended improvements are evaluated using the existing system model to improve system deficiencies and performance. The study then moves to assessing potential future system models to evaluate system impacts due to projected increased demand. Recommended improvements are evaluated using the future system model to mitigate system impacts and efficiently prepare for future growth/concerns.
The data and information obtained by completing the hydraulic model will be another tool utilized by staff to continue updating the capital improvement plan. Improvements could include water main looping to address capacity issues, water main looping or replacements as needed to improve system reliability and performance, improvements to support growth and resiliency of the distribution system, help evaluate water age, provide accurate and up to date fire flow data for the Town’s ISO insurance rating and evaluate and improve on operating procedures for the water system.
Discussion A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was posted in the Normalite and on the Town’s website May 6, 2021. The RFQ was also sent to seven consultants. The RFQ asked each firm to provide general company information, an understanding of the project and their approach to complete it, project experience of similar size and scope, organizational chart of project team and resume of key individuals and references. A team of six water department employees evaluated the responses.
Four consultants ultimately submitted a proposal for developing a calibrated hydraulic model of the Town’s distribution system. Although each firm had their own strengths and could likely satisfactorily complete the work, it was a unanimous decision of the staff that Crawford, Murphy and Tilly (CMT) be awarded the project based on their extensive experience creating models for numerous communities, depth of knowledge of the project team members, and experience and knowledge of the Town’s system.
CMT has provided the attached scope of work detailing two additional options the Town can include in the hydraulic model. The first is the extended period simulation model and the second is an energy management evaluation. The original RFP did not ask for submittals on either option, but in reviewing Packet Pg. F - 3
the scope of work from CMT, both of these additions will further assist in improving system performance, maximize efficiencies and decrease overall costs to operate and maintain the system.
Staff is recommending approval of the entire proposal from Crawford, Murphy and Tilly for developing a hydraulic water model at a cost not to exceed $115,000 and approving a budget adjustment of $20,000. The project is expected to start in the first half of July and be fully completed by April 2022.

Exhibit A Referred to in and part of the Agreement between TOWN and ENGINEER for Professional Services dated March 8, 2016
Initials of Representatives TOWN: ______ENGINEER: SLD
The Scope of Services for Water Distribution System Hydraulic Modeling Project shall consist of the following tasks:
Steady State Hydraulic Model (Approximately 445 hours - $70,000) Project Kick-off Meeting – A meeting will be held with CMT and Town staff to review scope, schedule and budget as well as discuss information to be collected from the Town for the project.
Data Collection – The following information will be obtained from the Town: An electronic copy of the Town’s updated GIS map including watermains, hydrants, hydrant laterals, valves, right-of-way lines, street names, parcel lines, watermain material, watermain installation year, zoning, elevation points and contours, and the Town boundary. Water billing information for 2020 and highest water usage period in 2020 including parcel ID number, customer address, customer type (residential, commercial, etc.) and water usage in excel or database format, including water usage units. Historical average day and maximum day water usage for the past 5 years. Water System Operation – operational information for pumps, tank levels, and control valves during average day demand, maximum day demand and peak hour demand conditions. Previous ISO reports and fire flow goals based on land usage SCADA information (tank levels, flowrates, pump status, discharge pressure, etc.) at 15-minute intervals for a five-day period during a month of average water usage in 2020. List of critical facilities (daycare centers, hospitals, schools, dialysis centers, laundry facilities) List of future developments 1 year of utility (electricity, nat gas, etc.) bills for each water facility
Town of Normal Exhibit A Hydraulic Model Page 1 of 6 Scope of Services Packet Pg. F - 8
Create New System Hydraulic Model – Create a new system hydraulic model will consist of the following tasks: A new hydraulic model watermain network will be developed based on recently updated GIS data. CMT will review the mapping data to identify potential mapping issues such as erroneous pipe diameters and inaccurate pipe connectivity at crossing locations. Screenshots of the potential issue will be provided to Town staff for their review. CMT will make minor updates and revisions to the hydraulic model as needed to facilitate model construction. Import Elevations - Import topographic elevations from the GIS map using the TRex Elevation Extractor tool in WaterGEMS. Input fire flow requirements – Input fire flow requirements (flow and residual pressure) in the model for hydrants based on parcel zoning contained in the GIS map. Verify existing pump station and tanks settings Project Model Demands - CMT will locate water billing based on one of the following methods: 1). If the Town’s GIS mapping and billing data both contain parcel pin numbers, water billing data will be located in GIS based on the parcel pin number. 2). If the Town’s GIS mapping or billing data does not contain parcel pin numbers, water billing data will be geolocated in GIS. Regardless of location method, water billing will be automatically imported from the GIS map into WaterGEMS using the software’s LoadBuilder tool. A ratio between water billing usage and average day demand will be utilized in the model based on historical water usage information obtained from the Town.
Calibrate Steady State Model - Once the steady state model is updated, it will be calibrated using pressure measurements and flow tests throughout the system as follows: The model will be calibrated by performing static pressure measurements and flow tests at fire hydrants (assume 10-12 locations) throughout the Town during two days of field testing. During the calibration period, source information data at the time of the testing (pump station flows and discharge pressures, tank levels and pump status) will be recorded by the Town for input into the model. Once the field flow testing measurements have been obtained, they will be input into the model. Operating conditions including an estimate of current demand, pump station pressures and flows, and elevated tank levels will be added into the model to recreate the operating conditions during the flow tests as closely as possible. Pipe roughness coefficients within the model will then be adjusted to recreate the conditions observed during the flow tests. Field-measured pressures and flows will be compared to model-computed pressures and flows to determine if the accuracy of the model is within AWWA guidelines. In the event that the model results vary substantially from the observed field conditions, the Town will be consulted to determine if additional field investigation is warranted. Additional field investigation can be performed at CMT’s Standard Hourly Rates. Once the steady state hydraulic model calibration is complete, the results of flow test pressure measurements and predictions will be summarized and presented to the Town to demonstrate calibration prior to use of the hydraulic model for evaluation of the system.
Town of Normal Exhibit A Hydraulic Model Page 2 of 6 Scope of Services Packet Pg. F - 9
It has been assumed that CMT will provide testing equipment and one CMT staff member for field testing. Three Town staff members would assist with the field testing operations with one Town personnel recording SCADA data.
Steady State Modeling Scenarios – Once calibrated, steady state modeling scenarios will be created for average day demand, maximum day demand, and maximum day demand with fire as follows: The total annual usage for each water meter will be used to establish the loading projection applied for average day conditions. Maximum day demands will be assigned similarly utilizing the billing period with highest system-wide demand as the basis of the projection. Needed fire flows will be assigned to hydrants based on adjoining land uses. Available fire flow information will be estimated for all hydrants in conjunction with the maximum day demand scenario and compared to the needed fire flow values to identify areas which are below goal.
Existing System Evaluation - CMT will evaluate the capacity of select water system components in conjunction with existing demand to identify improvements that may be required. Aspects of the existing water system that will be evaluated are as follows: Source – The current total source capacity will be compared to the Town’s existing water demand to determine if there any deficiencies. Source capacity will be based on data provided by the Town. Supply – The current total supply capacity will be compared to the Town’s existing water demand to determine if there any deficiencies. Storage – The total capacity of ground storage and elevated storage in the distribution system will be evaluated to ensure adequate storage to meet existing daily water usage peaks during the maximum day, in the event of a fire, or loss of water supply. Using SCADA data from the highest Maximum Day Demand in the past 5 years, a diurnal demand curve will be developed in order to estimate the Peak Hour Demand. Distribution – The evaluation of the distribution system will include the following: o The existing system steady state model will be analyzed under maximum day demand conditions to identify areas of below goal pressure (below 40 psi), above goal for high pressure (above 90 psi), high headloss (greater than 4 feet/1000 feet) and below goal fire flows. For areas outside the range of the Town’s target goals for pressure, recommended improvements will be identified. o Areas within the distribution system which have historically been susceptible to watermain breaks will be identified and overlaid on the recommended improvements to increase fire flow to optimize the recommended improvements. Also, areas that have experienced a high number of watermain breaks that do not require an increase in capacity will be included in the list of recommended improvements. Interconnects – The Town has two emergency interconnections. CMT will evaluate if these interconnects are compatible with the Town’s finished water and if the interconnects provide benefit to the Town of Normal based on conversation with the interconnect municipality/water cooperative.
Develop 5 year Capital Improvement Program– CMT will identify recommended improvements for a 5 year Capital Improvement Program Identify high priority projects based upon the results of the steady state modeling.

Coordinate with Town staff to identify mains with high frequencies of watermain breaks. Obtain a list of planned roadway improvements. Identify the available budget for the improvement program. Develop a 5 year Capital Improvement Program to
Prepare report – The information compiled in the Hydraulic Water Model Project will be presented in report format. A draft report (pdf format) will be prepared and submitted to the Town for review. CMT will then meet with the Town staff to discuss comments on the draft report. Then CMT will incorporate comments and submit the final report to the Town. The final report will include an electronic copy of the water model. It has been assumed that CMT would provide the Town with two copies of the final report.
Project Management and QA/QC
Extended Period Simulation (EPS) Model
(Approximately 230 hours - $35,000)
Develop and Calibration of Extended Period Simulation (EPS) model – In order to develop extended period simulations (EPS) in the hydraulic model, CMT will obtain the following information from the Town: SCADA information (tank levels, pump discharge and station pressures) at 15 minute intervals for a minimum 24 hour period during an average demand month in 2019. Water system control parameters – the typical operation set points of the pumps in relation to system pressure or elevated tank levels which are in place during the EPS calibration period identified. To allow the model to run extended period simulations, the following tasks will be required: o Input diurnal demand patterns for junction nodes in the distribution system. o Input pump controls. o Input control valve settings. o Run extended period simulations on the model to verify model operation. Calibrate the model over an extended period (minimum 24 hours) during a high- demand month in 2019. For the extended period selected, Town staff will be asked to provide source information from SCADA to be input into the model to determine if actual tank levels compare favorably to computer calculated tank levels. Troubleshoot the model to ensure that the model is accurately calibrated. Compare and evaluate the model predicted versus actual water levels for the storage facilities to verify calibration.
Evaluation of the Existing Water Distribution System using Extended Period Simulation Hydraulic Model
An extended period water age analysis will be performed under average day demand conditions to determine approximate water age throughout the system under normal operations. The maximum and minimum expected water age under normal operations will be evaluated. This is critical in estimating the water age throughout the system, especially for identifying areas which may experience varied water quality due to tank turnover
Town of Normal Exhibit A Hydraulic Model Page 4 of 6 Scope of Services Packet Pg. F - 11
operations. CMT will include recommendations for areas that experience exceptionally high water age.
Develop the Future System Model - CMT will develop a future water system model using the updated existing system model as a base. CMT will determine future water demand requirements based on anticipated developments. The future system model will then be used to determine the future water distribution system pipe network required to provide adequate system pressure and fire flow during maximum day demand conditions.
CIP Refinement with EPS - CMT will evaluate the capacity of select water system components in conjunction with future water usage using Extended Period Simulation (EPS) to identify future improvements that may be required. The Capital Improvements Program will then be revised where warranted to better accommodate the needs of the future distribution system. Aspects of the water system that will be evaluated are as follows: Source – The current total source capacity will be compared to the Town’s future water needs to determine if there any deficiencies. Supply – The current total supply capacity will be compared to the Town’s existing water demand to determine if there any deficiencies. Storage – The total capacity of ground storage and elevated storage in the distribution system will be evaluated to ensure adequate storage to meet future water usage peaks during the maximum day, in the event of a fire, or loss of water supply. Distribution – The adequacy of the future distribution system to provide pressure within the Town’s pressure range goals and fire flow will be evaluated using the future system hydraulic model as described previously.
Update report to include EPS modeling results and recommendations.
Energy Management Evaluation
(Approximately 70 hours - $10,000)
Energy Management Evaluation - CMT will evaluate the source and supply facilities for opportunities to optimize energy usage related to water system operations. Utility Bill Review – CMT will review the existing utility bills and applicable rate structures. The potential risks and benefits of utilizing other available rate structures will be considered. Operations Review – CMT will review existing operations of source and supply facilities and provide an assessment of the likely impacts to utility costs. Potential alterations to existing operations which could be considered to reduce utility costs under current or other available rate structures will be identified, where feasible. Efficiency Improvements – Potential efficiency improvements related to water pumping operations at the source and supply facilities will be identified, if applicable. Improvements which will be considered include control system improvements, variable frequency drives, and adding or replacing pumps to better match hydraulic conditions or increase operational flexibility.
Update report to include energy management recommendations.

Background In October 2006, the Town Council approved the re-subdivision of Lot 2 in First Addition to Eagle’s Landing Commercial Subdivision (Resolution No. 3929). Following, in August 2020 the Town Council approved an easement vacation for a property within the subdivision located at 1290 Healing Stone Court. The easement vacation document is recorded as Document No. 2020-18237 in the Office of the McLean County Recorder.
After recording of the easement vacation plat, the developer’s engineer, Land Engineers, discovered an oversight in the previous easement area vacated. Guy anchors for an Ameren electric transmission line were found to be present in the north portion of the easement area vacated in August 2020.
It was determined by the property owner and Ameren, that moving the utility line anchors is not cost effective. Therefore, the property owner is requesting approval of an amended easement vacation, limiting the vacation of the easement to only the South 110 feet of the West 10 feet of the 30-foot-wide access and utility easement per the attached plat and documentation.
Discussion Land Engineers has prepared an Amended Easement Vacation plat for Town consideration and approval. The proposed amended easement vacation will retain an easement around the Ameren guy anchors and allow the utility anchors to remain in place. Ameren and the property owner have approved the amended easement vacation and request Town approval. Town staff finds the proposed amendment to the easement vacation acceptable.
For these reasons, Town staff recommends conditional approval of the proposed amended easement vacation plat for the Eagle’s Landing Subdivision contingent upon submittal of final easement documents and certificates with the Town Clerk.

Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Council adopted an emergency ordinance related to the Town’s response to the public-health emergency. Included in that ordinance was the authority of the City Manager to make rules to allow expanded outdoor seating for dining establishments. Under that authority, the City Manager established a program for expanded outdoor dining. In Uptown, the Town installed tables at specified locations. In other areas, the businesses were allowed to expand outdoor dining in parking lots and similar areas. The dining establishments were required to file an application and to follow certain operational rules.
The Town emergency ordinance automatically expires when the governor’s statewide emergency order expires. As Illinois has moved into Phase 5 of the Restore Illinois Plan, the Town’s emergency order will expire, along with the authority for the expanded outdoor dining program. The expanded outdoor dining has been popular with businesses and with the public, and the Town has received requests to extend it.
Discussion The proposed ordinance contains the language that was granted in the Town’s emergency COVID ordinance concerning the City Manager’s authority over outdoor dining. The proposed ordinance authorizes the City Manager to establish outdoor dining areas in the B-2 Central Business Zoning District (Uptown) and it allows the City Manager to establish rules for outdoor dining in other parts of the Town. This language will allow a continuation of the Town’s existing outdoor dining program.
The proposed ordinance automatically expires on December 31, 2021. It is anticipated that any expansion of outdoor dining after that date will be codified into the Town Code.

Background In 2009 the development group iDev, LLC purchased the 106.48 +/- acre farm bounded by Raab Road on the north, Hershey Road on the west, Shepard Road on the south, and the Eagle’s Landing Subdivision on the east. Shortly thereafter, the Town approved an annexation agreement for the property (Res. No. 4397) and annexed the land (Ord. No. 5278). At this time they have submitted an amended preliminary subdivision plan for the north half of the subdivision in accordance with an agreement approved by the Town Council in 2019.
Per the original annexation agreement, the bulk of the property was zoned R-1B Single Family Residential with a strip of R-2 Mixed Residential zoning along Shepard Road and a portion of Hershey Road (Ord. No. 5279). The preliminary subdivision plan was approved in September 2009 (Res. No. 4423), followed by the first final plat in August 2010 (Res. No. 4539) and the final plat of the First Addition in May 2013 (Res. No. 4884).
In January 2019, the Town approved a zoning map amendment to rezone approximately 1.69 acres at the southwest corner of the subdivision to S-2 Public Lands & Institutions for development as a Town of Normal Fire Station (Ord. No. 5777).
Also in January 2019, the Town approved a concept plan (Ord. No. 5776) for the layout of the residential lots on the north half of the subdivision and the area west of the detention basin, none of which had been platted for development at that time. This concept plan included the fire station lot, a row of residential lots along the west side of the basin, an area of denser detached single-family residential lots in the northwest quadrant of the subdivision, and an area of larger lot single-family residential lots in the northeast quadrant. See attached illustration labeled “Concept Plan Approved 2019.”
Both the zoning change and the new concept plan were addressed in a subsequent amendment to the annexation agreement in April 2019 (Res. No. 5662). Per this amended agreement, the developer is required to return through the public process with a fully engineered Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan. Per this agreement, as long as the Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan is in compliance with the concept plan, the Town is obligated to approve it.
The developer then returned to the Town in October 2019 with the required Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the 4.79 acres at the southwest corner of the subdivision. This area encompassed the fire station lot and the residential lots west of the basin. The Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan was approved by Res. No. 5721, and the final plat for these lots was approved by Res. No. 5722. Most of these residential lots have been constructed or have a permit for construction.
At this time, the developer has returned with the 2nd Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan encompassing the remaining acreage in the north half of the Blackstone Trails Subdivision. The submitted plan corresponds with the approved concept plan, including the following:
1. Lot layout 2. Number of lots (187) 3. Variances for lot sizes and dimensions 4. Mid-block sidewalk connections 5. Configuration of the linear park Packet Pg. 7 - 3
All of the terms of the approved annexation agreement will also apply to the ultimate build out of this subdivision, including the varying front yard setbacks, tree installation within the linear park and along mid-block sidewalks, and the anti-monotony clause to prohibit the same house design from being used too frequently.
Discussion
As previously stated, the Town Council in 2019 approved an amended annexation agreement pertaining to the reconfigured lot layout throughout the undeveloped, north half of the Blackstone Trails Subdivision. Per this agreement, the Town is obligated to approve the 2nd Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan as long as it is in substantial compliance with the amended annexation agreement’s approved Concept Plan. Town staff finds the proposed Second Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan to be substantially similar to the approved Conceptual Plan. Thus, Town staff sent a positive recommendation to the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the 2nd Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan on June 10, 2021. One Blackstone resident attended and asked questions about house designs, storm water runoff, and the location of homes adjacent to the existing detention basin. Following their findings of fact, the Planning Commission voted 7-0 in support of the plan.
For these reasons, Town staff recommends the Town Council approve the 2nd Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the Blackstone Trails Subdivision as required by the 2019 amended annexation agreement.

At this time, the developer has returned with the Seconded Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan encompassing the remaining acreage in the north half of the Blackstone Trails Subdivision. The submitted plan corresponds with the approved concept plan, including the following:
1. Lot layout 2. Number of lots 3. Variances for lot sizes and dimensions 4. Number of mid-block sidewalk connections 5. Configuration of the linear park
All of the terms of the approved annexation agreement will also apply to the ultimate build out of this subdivision, including the varying front yard setbacks, tree installation within the linear park and along mid-block sidewalks, and the anti-monotony clause to prohibit the same house design from being used too frequently.
A representative from iDev, LLC will be present during the public hearing to answer questions.
Adjacent Zoning
The Blackstone Trails Subdivision is primarily zoned R-1B Single Family Residential with R-2 Mixed Residential along Shepard and a portion of Hershey and an area of S-2 Public Lands & Institutions at the southwest corner for a fire station and detention basin. The land adjacent to Blackstone is a mixture of R-1B and R-2 residential to the east, C-1 Office and S-2 Public Lands & Institutions to the south, B-1 General Business at the Shepard/Hershey intersection and along the west side of Hershey, and Agricultural zoning in the County to the north.
Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan By recommending in favor of the 2nd Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the Blackstone Trails Subdivision, the Planning Commission is supporting the build-out of a previously approved residential subdivision in Normal. The Comprehensive Plan supports residential development in this area and the economic vitality that stems from a thriving residential market. This is particularly important as residential development is in high demand.
Staff Analysis & Recommendation
As previously stated, the Town Council in 2019 approved an amended annexation agreement pertaining to the reconfigured lot layout throughout the undeveloped, north half of the Blackstone Trails Subdivision. Per this agreement, the Town is obligated to approve the Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan as long as it is in substantial compliance with the amended annexation agreement’s approved Conceptual Plan. Town staff finds the proposed Second Amended Preliminary Subdivision Plan to be substantially similar to the approved Conceptual Plan. For this reason, Town staff recommends the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation to the Town Council.

Ms. Davison reviewed the staff report. She stated that we are discussing the Blackstone Trails subdivision, which is bordered by Raab Rd, Hershey Rd, Shepard Rd, and the Eagle’s Landing subdivision. This piece of property came to the Town of Normal as an annexation agreement in 2009 and has been developing out since then. In general, the neighborhood is R1B single family zoning with some R2 along the edges. There is a public detention basin with a trail surrounding it located in the southwest area. In January 2019, there was a public process to discuss future development plans of the empty lot in the southwest corner. The Packet Pg. Addendum 2
PLANNING COMMISION MINUTES 2 JUNE 10,2021
Town Council rezoned the area to S2 Public Lands and Institution for the future development as a fire station. Also, in 2019 the developer had brought in a proposed new preliminary subdivision plan for the north half of the development. Lots located in the area would be smaller in order to have a larger quantity of them. As part of a corresponding annexation agreement, the Town Council approved the concept of the denser lots. Council actions stated that if they come back with a technically engineered preliminary subdivision plan that matches the concept plan, they would approve it. Being presented tonight is the preliminary subdivision plan that can be built. Staff recommends that the commission approve this plan.
Mr. Matejka asked since this plan has already been approved by Council is there any legal liability if it not approved as presented.
Mr. Day responded that if the commission does not approve this plan, there is no legal liability. The town itself does have an agreement in place to approve the preliminary plan if it complies with the already approved concept, which would be a Council decision.
Ms. Lund asked if the denser lots would still be single family homes that are just located closer together, or side-by-side town houses like those that are located on Shepard Rd.
Ms. Davison responded that they would all be single family detached homes.
Ms. Lund inquired if the town has done any research to determine what types of homes are people wanting in the area, for example: single family, town houses, or apartments.
Ms. Davison responded that in 2017 the town worked with different agencies to perform a regional housing study. It was a great snapshot of what the community currently had to offer and projected into the future as to what kinds of housing people might be looking for. This was also done with the Uptown 2.0 plan because the town knew there had been some housing preference changes. Neither plan would say exactly what the community needs. Ms. Davison stated that is left to the private sector to decide what they want to invest in.
Mr. Zimmerman stated that in 2019 a couple meetings were spent on this topic. One of the issues that was talked about was the comprehensive plan and the smaller lots. This might be appealing to a certain subset of the population.
Mr. Zimmerman opened the public hearing.
Todd Bugg, 800 Smith Dr, Normal, IL 61761, was sworn in by Chairman Zimmerman. Mr. Bugg stated that he is the attorney for the developer. He was present along with the developer, Marty Trunk, and head of engineering, Neil Finlen. Mr. Bugg believes that town staff accurately reflected the situation. Per the amended annexation agreement in April 2019, the town is required to provide an amended preliminary subdivision plan, which has already been done for the fire station area. Mr. Finlen has worked very closely with the town to ensure that the plan that is presented today is very accurate and complies with the original concept plan. Based on those statements Mr. Bugg felt the Town is obligated to approve it.

Carol Harms-Garman, 1201 Travertine Rd, Normal, IL 61761, was sworn in by Chairman Zimmerman. Ms. Harms-Garman stated that she just moved to the area and had some interest as to what was taking place. She wanted to know what was going to be the average lot size. Also, she was curious if they planned to keep green space north of the walking path near the pond. Mr. Harms-Garman was concerned about the water run off in that area.
Ms. Davison responded that the denser lots would mostly be 48’-52’ wide. The lots that are located on or northeast quadrant will be about 70’ wide.
Mr. Troemel agreed with Ms. Davison and stated that the concept plan lots were around 7,000-8,000 square feet. On the north-west quadrant they were about 6,000 square feet in total.
Ms. Harms-Garman asked if there were going to be a similar building look as to what is being developed near Hershey Rd.
Ms. Davison responded that the annexation agreement speaks to this as well. There is a requirement that the house design be varied throughout the neighborhood. It does not give exact detail as to the design of the houses. Ms. Davison stated that the developer could speak regarding the design of the houses that were built on Hershey Rd.
Mr. Trunk stated that the homes on the edges are designed to be similar because they go all around the perimeter of the property. There will be various designs that will be used on the interior lots.
Neil Finlen, 113 Broadway, Normal, IL 61761, was sworn in by Chairman Zimmerman. Mr. Finlen stated the homes located on the east side and the southeast corner were built to be comparable to the adjacent properties. The loops that are located on the plan were very important to Mr. Trunk so that the properties could have their own identity. Mr. Finlen agreed with Ms. Davison and Mr. Troemel’s statements regarding the property sizes. The drainage system is very precise. Everything from the development will be piped into the existing detention basin. There is a small area on the northeast corner that does flow away from the development. The drainage courses will be compliant with Illinois law.
There was some brief discussion regarding the current lot sizes and trees in the area.
Marty Trunk, 1310 Joan Way, Normal, IL 61761, was sworn in by Chairman Zimmerman. He stated that they provide a budget to the homeowner for the type of landscaping they would like to do.
There was some discussion regarding the compromise from 2019.
Mr. McBride moved, seconded by Mr. Broad, to recommend an approval as requested.
