PURPOSE: On November 6, 2017 Council considered and approved a Resolution Determining the Amount of Funds to be levied for the 2017 Tax Year through real estate taxes for the City of McHenry and set a date of December 4, 2017 for the Public Hearing and consideration of an ordinance establishing such a levy. While not required to do so, the City of McHenry believes that it is important to provide residents with an opportunity to provide public comment on the proposed property tax I evy. Upon the closure of the public hearing City Council can then consider the adoption of the 2017 Tax Levy Ordinance. An approved Tax Levy Ordinance must be filed by the last Tuesday of December (the 26t" in 2017). With altered schedules and office hours due to the holidays, it is always prudent for Council to consider the Tax Levy Ordinance to allow sufficient time for administrative processing. BACKG ROU N D/ANALYSIS: Approximately 81.270 of the FY17/18 budgeted General Fund Revenues are derived from Sales Tax, Income Tax and Property Tax receipts with the remaining approximate 18.8% coming from such sources as miscellaneous other intergovernmental taxes, grants, franchise fees, licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, and charges for services. For the FY17/18 Budget, Property Tax receipts comprised 22.8% ($4,967,359) of the total budgeted revenues ($21,830,317). As the Council is aware, McHenry has implemented a Fund Balance and Reserve Policy and for the General Fund, this policy recommends that the unrestricted fund balance be maintained at 120 days of estimated operating expenses. Additionally, after the minimum fund balance is met, that excess fund balance should be assigned for future capital expenses. At the end of FY2016/17, $2,410,565 was transferred to the Capital Improvements Fund as excess fund balance. As the Council discusses the property tax levy, it should keep the following factors in mind. First, that the FY17/18 General Fund Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes nearly $90 million in projects (including an approximate $50 million local road program) that rely primarily on General Fund Revenues for implementation. Second, that despite the most conservative budgeting efforts, General Fund operating costs will continue to increase (Police Pension contributions alone are estimated to increase $145,500 in FY18/19). Finally, as part of the State's most recent budget approval, there will be a 10% reduction in the amount that the City receives through the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF) and a 2% reduction (identified as an administrative fee and kept by the State) to the Home Rule Sales Tax. As the State is in financial turmoil, it is important to take all of these, and potential future, reductions into consideration when completing financial planning for McHenry as reserves could be depleted quickly in a financial downturn. Despite the fact that as a "Home Rule" community the City of McHenry is no longer subject to the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, or PTELL - which limits increases to residents' property taxes by preventing a local government's property tax levy from growing at a faster pace than the rate of inflation, or 5%, whichever is less - the City has continued to follow PTELL guidelines for establishing the property tax levy. In fact, for five (5) consecutive years (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015), the City chose to maintain a flat property tax levy request at the amount that was requested in 2010. In 2016, Council chose to decrease the property tax levy request by 3% from the amount requested in 2010 through 2015. For the 2017 tax year the inflationary rate is 2.10%. The Estimated Rate Setting EAV supplied by McHenry County is 633,899,930 (an increase of 7.2% over 2016) which includes new construction of 2,537,251. PTELL calculated with the inflationary rate and the estimated EAV equates to an Estimated Limited Extension of $4,734,725, or an $115,939 increase over last year. Even if the City were to adopt this increase, it would not cover the anticipated increases in costs and or reduction in revenue for FY18/19. Based on the above information, it is important to remind the Council that freezing or reducing the City's portion of the property tax levy does not mean that home -owners will see a reduction in their property tax bill. Change in EAV also drives change in the property tax bill. When the EAV declines the tax rates must go up in order to fully fund the property tax levy because the same amount of money needs to be collected across the new lower values as requested by all taxing districts. For 2016, the EAV increased so the tax rate for the City went down slightly lowering the burden on taxpayers. In fact, in 2016 that portion A a resident's tax bill directed to the City of McHenry was only 6.4% of the total amount. However, this does not take into consideration actions taken by the other taxing jurisdictions that comprise the total property tax bill. As an example, in 2015 the City of McHenry kept its portion of the property tax bill the same as 2014, but the amount of property tax paid by the owner of a $200,000 home actually increased by $43.51 due to levy increases by other taxing bodies. Annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, the City must provide the amounts required for the property tax levy so that the funds generated through this revenue mechanism will become available during the 2017/2018 fiscal year. The levy request must be approved by the City Council and submitted to the McHenry County Clerk by the last Tuesday in December (the 26t" in 2017). There are public notification timeframes also associated with this process. With this date as a target, the 2017 Property Tax Resolution indicating the levy amount and Public Hearing will be presented at the November 6t" 2017 Council meeting and, upon adoption of the resolution, the Property Tax Levy Public Hearing and consideration/adoption of the levy amount is scheduled for the December 4, 2017 City Council meeting. Based on the totality ofthe information that has been reviewed in this memorandum, and with input from the Finance and Personnel Committee at its October 2, 2017 meeting, staff is forwarding a recommendation to maintain the property tax levy at the current amount of $4,618,786. This represents the seventh (7t") consecutive year that the City of McHenry has foregone an increase in the amount of property taxes collected. Based on the PTELL estimates provided by McHenry County, the amount of revenues deferred by this action will be approximately $115,939. Staff reminds Council that we will continue to carefully plan and monitor revenues and expenditures during the upcoming year and monitor any other internal or external factors that may have an impact on the City's overall financial stability. If Council concurs, the following is recommended: 1) conducting a public hearing regarding the proposed 2017 Property Tax Levy in an amount of $4,618,786 and, upon closing the public hearing; 2) consideration of the 2017 Property Tax Levy Ordinance in an amount not to exceed $41618,786.

The current ordinance requires that storage of refuse containers be stored "out of plain view." Staff is requesting a text amendment to add clarification to the ordinance. ANALYSIS: The current language in the Municipal Code reads: Sec. 11-89. Storage of garbage and refuse containers, etc. No person shall place any garbage and refuse container adjacent to any street, aHey, or other public place more than 24 hours prior to the regular and customary collection schedule established by such person's scavenger, nor shall any person permit such garbage and refuse containers to remain adjacent to any street, alley or other public place more than 24 hours after the aforesaid regular and customary collection schedule. At all other times such garbage and refuse containers shall be stored out of public's plain view. The challenge that is posed with this language is that "plain view" is vague. The Meriam Webster dictionary defines "in plain view" as in a place that is easily seen. Many of our residents store the refuse containers on the side of their homes next to the garage. This this may or may not be easily seen but can be perceived as within plain view. The intent of the ordinance is to have the containers stored in an area not unsightly. With Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us the new garbage service provider, the cans have changed to a brown color instead of the highly visible green. This allows the can to blend into the natural earth tone colors of the landscaping. Residents often call or come into the CED with a lengthy list of neighbors whose cans are stored on the side of the garage and want them to move them to a different location. This takes many staff hours to investigate to determine if there is truly a violation present. Garbage refuse containers are a part of our everyday life, storing them in the garage is not an option due to the smell in the summertime and requiring homeowners to screen with a fence or landscaping may be cost prohibitive to some. A proposal to change the ordinance to require containers to be stored behind the building line of the principal structure seems reasonable. This would allow the CED to maintain a level of aesthetics but also be realistic about can placement. No cans would be allowed to be stored on a front porch or in the front of a home. The following text amendment language is therefore proposed: Sec. 11-89. Storage of garbage and refuse containers, etc. No person shall place any garbage and refuse container adjacent to any street, aHey, or other public place more than 24 hours prior to the regular and customary collection schedule established by such person's scavenger, nor shall any person permit such garbage and refuse containers to remain adjacent to -any street, alley or other public place more than 24 hours after the aforesaid regular and customary collection schedule. At all other times such garbage and refuse containers shall not be located eut of publi plain . 0ew between the street and the principal structure. The Community Development Committee has reviewed this change and a motion was made aI d approved to send the text amendment to the full City Council for consideration. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if the City Council concurs with staffs analysis a motion to approve the proposed text amendment for the storage of garbage and refuse containers is recommended.

Location Map 2. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated November 15, 2017 3. Ordinance approving a conditional use permit to allow outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats in conjunction with a contractor's office at 4564 Bull Valley Road 4. Application Packet AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow the outdoor storage of boats and recreational vehicles at 4563 Bull Valley Road in conjunction with a contractor's office. BACKGROUND: In 2002 the City Council unanimously approved a request for a conditional use permit to allow outside storage of vehicles and trailers, as well as a variance to the minimum lot width required in the 1-1 zoning district for the property located at 4172 Bull Valley Road, immediately to the east of the subject property. In September 2008, Cornerstone Material Recovery requested an expansion to the existing conditional use permit to include 4564 Bull Valley Road, subject property, and permission to aHow a recycling/handling center with outside storage of recycling materials contained in bins or box containers. The City Council approved the request (6-1) to allow the expansion of the existing conditional use permit and approval for a recycling center including outside storage of bin containers and roll -off boxes for a five-year term. Since that time, Cornerstone Material Recovery has vacated the site. The conditional use permit approved in 2008 has automatically expired due to inactivity; however, the lot width variance is not automatically revoked and remains with the property. 1 Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us The current applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow outside storage of boats and recreational vehicles in conjunction with a contractor's office at 4564 Bull Valley Road. The applicant has been utilizing the property primarily for his personal use and would like to begin advertising for a business, which includes the outside storage of boats and recreational vehicles at the northern portion of the site, due to the demand for this type of use. ANALYSIS: In accordance with the zoning ordinance, a conditional use permit is required for outside storage associated with any permitted or conditional use allowed in the I-1 Industrial zoning district. In this case, the applicant is proposing an office and outdoor storage of boats and recreational vehicles. The proposed location of the outdoor storage is far from view of Bull Valley Road and is unlikely to detract from the surrounding area. All of the surrounding properties are zoned industrial with the exception of Centegra Hospital south of Bull Valley Road. In 2002 and 2008 a conditional use permit approved for Cornerstone Material Recovery was approved with seven and five-year time limitations respectively. While Cornerstone substantially cleaned -up the property, the property has since become a dumping ground. The applicant has done quite a bit to clean up the site since purchasing it. Staff is aware that there are long-range plans for this general area included in the comprehensive plan, which go beyond the scope of this proposal. With the hospital being across the road and vacant land to the north, west, and east, there are many development and redevelopment alternatives possible in the future. The time limitation placed on the conditional use permit, for Cornerstone Material Recovery, was in anticipation of redevelopment of this property along with the surrounding properties potentially for commercial and/or residential uses. This has not come to fruition as of yet. Staff is not proposing a time limitation associated with the approval of the applicant's request. Economic conditions remain uncertain and staff believes a time constraint would be unfair and the property may remain vacant indefinitely. The applicant has a viable business. When the property is ripe for redevelopment in the future market forces will dictate whether the applicant remains on the subject property or decides to relocate. Staff believes the proposed use will provide benefits to the City including: • An additional viable business locating in the City of McHenry; • McHenry is a recreational community and the need for the outside storage of boats and recreational vehicles, in an appropriate, accessible location is definitely desirable; 2 Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us • Cleaning and removal of trash and debris on subject property, as well as ongoing maintenance; • Potential increase in assessed valuation, along with surrounding properties, which may at some point encourage developers to assess development/redevelopment options. Unless a new business locates on the subject property staff believes the area will remain stagnant and an eyesore. The applicant owns a significant piece of property and, in the future, this could play a key role in redevelopment of this area. Due to the isolated location of the site and the greater portion of the property is not visible to the public. Future roadway improvements are planned along Bull Valley Road west of Illinois Route including consolidation of access points and roadway widening, which will alter the dynamics of the area. At that time, it may be more plausible for new development/redevelopment to occur. Staff does not believe that this area will necessarily remain industrial in nature but, at the same time, does not want to prevent a viable business from locating there. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a conditional use permit to allow the outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats on the subject property, in conjunction with a contractor's office subject to the following conditions: • The property shall be cleared of all debris, including any inoperable vehicles, trailers, etc. and anything unrelated to the request being considered; • The property keeps a neat and orderly appearance; • Applicant work with City Staff in locating signage for business off of Bull Valley Road, not impeding access or site lines to other businesses, customers or vehicles traversing the roadway; • Provide minimal security lighting/cameras on -site. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if the City Council concurs with the Planning and Zoning Commission, it is recommended that a motion be made to approve the attached ordinance granting a conditional use permit to allow the outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats on the subject property, in conjunction with a contractor's office, subject to the following conditions: • The property shall be cleared of all debris, including any inoperable vehicles, trailers, etc. and anything unrelated to the request being considered; • The property keeps a neat and orderly appearance, Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us • Applicant work with City Staff in locating signage for business off of Bull Valley Road, not impeding access or site lines to other businesses, customers or vehicles traversing the roadways • Provide minimal security lighting/cameras on -site.

Conditional Use Permit for outside storage of recreational vehicles and boats in conjunction with a contractor's office on the Subject Property. Chairman Strach called the Public Hearing to order at 7:35 p.m. regarding File No Z-917, an application for a Conditional use permit to allow outside storage of recreational vehicles and boats in conjunction with a contractor's office at 4564 Bull Valley Road as submitted by Brian Blanchard, 6008 Tomlinson Dr., McHenry, IL 60050.

Mr. Blanchard provided a summary ofthe request before the Commission at this Hearing stating he uses the property for personal storage of his own cars, trailers and boats and would like to better utilize the property by offering that type of storage service to other residents and he needs the conditional use to do so. Director of Economic Development Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this matter stating the City Council unanimously approved a request for a conditional use permit to allow outside storage of vehicles and trailers, as well as a variance to the minimum lot width required in the I-1 zoning district for the property located at 4172 Bull Valley Road, immediately to the east of the subject property.

The conditional use permit approved in 2008 has automatically expired due to inactivity; however, the lot width variance is not automatically revoked and remains with the property. The current applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow outside storage of boats and recreational vehicles in conjunction with a contractor's office at the site due to the demand for this type of use. In accordance with the zoning ordinance, a conditional use permit is required for outside storage associated with any permitted or conditional use allowed in the 14 Industrial zoning district. The proposed location of the outdoor storage is far from view of Bull Valley Road and is unlikely to detract from the surrounding area. All of the surrounding properties are zoned industrial with the exception of Centegra Hospital south of Bull Valley Road. Staff is not proposing a time limitation associated with the approval of the applicant's request. Economic conditions remain uncertain and staff believes a time constraint would be unfair and the property may remain vacant indefinitely. The applicant has a viable business and when the property does redevelop in the future, market forces will dictate whether the applicant remains on the subject property or decides to relocate. Staff believes the proposed use will provide many benefits to the City. Unless a new business locates on the subject property staff believes the area will remain stagnant and an eyesore. The applicant owns a significant piece of property and in the future, this could play a key role in redevelopment of this area due to the isolated location of the site and the greater portion of the property is not visible to the public. Director of Economic Development Martin stated staff recommends approval of a conditional use permit to allow the outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats on the subject property, in conjunction with a contractor's office subject to the following conditions: 1. The property shall be cleared of all debris, including any inoperable vehicles, trailers, etr. and anything unrelated to the request being considered; 2. The property keeps a neat and orderly appearance; 3. Applicant work with City Staff in locating signage for business off of Bull Valley Road, not impeding access or site lines to other businesses, customers or vehicles traversing the roadway; 4. Provide minimal security lighting/cameras on -site; and Staff believes that with the conditions imposed all criteria in table 31 of the zoning ordinance have been met. 7 Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us Chairman Strach invited questions and/or comments from the Commission. Commissioner Thacker asked about security. Mr. Blanchard stated the gate is always locked and there is very sufficient lighting on the building. Commissioner Sobotta asked if there were any plans for fencing in the future. Mr. Blanchard responded it is naturally fenced and not easy to access at all. Commissioner Meyer asked how people will get their vehicles, etc. to access the storage area. Or. Blanchard responded the road is long and owned by him and there is only one way in and out. Commissioner Doherty asked if boat owners will also be storing gas cans on the property possibly in their boats. Mr. Blanchard responded only vehicles, boats, RV's (can be on a trailer or toy hauler), snowmobiles etc. will be stored. Gas cans will not be allowed. Chairman Strach opened the floor to questions and comments from the audience. There was nobody in attendance who wished to address the Commission regarding this matter. Chairman Strach closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 7:45 p.m. Motion by Miller, seconded by Meyer, to recommend to the City Council with regard to File No. Z-917, approval of an application for a conditional use permit to allow the outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats on the subject property, in conjunction with a contractor's office subject to the following conditions: 1.

Cobbs Restaurant and the McHenry Move Theater ATT: Sign application, Proposed Signage Agenda Item Summary: The Community Development Department received a sign variance request for the D.C. Cobbs restaurant and the McHenry Movie Theater located at 1204 and 1208 Green Street. Staff has reviewed the request and feels the sign package proposal falls within the McHenry Municipal Code sign variance guidelines. Background: Boone Creek Crossings LLC purchased the old movie theater building at 1204 and 1208 Green Street earlier this year. Since the purchase of the building, a total redevelopment to include the addition of a third screening room has been moving forward. This redevelopment also includes the D.C. Cobbs restaurant. The building is unique in that it is over twice as deep as it is wide with two different uses in the building. This presented a challenge when it came to branding the businesses within the building as they are limited in the amount of signage available to them per the Municipal Code and, thus, the purpose of the following variance requests. Analysis: The proposal requires four variances as follows: 1. D.C. Cobbs (1204 Green) projecting sign. Per the ordinance, a projecting sign may not exceed 5 sq/ft in area. The proposed projecting sign is 16 sq/ft (4'x4'), requiring a variance for an additional 11 sq/ft. A rendering of the sign is provided as an attachment. All other signage for the D.0 Cobbs restaurant (i.e., the 2'x10' wall sign) is in compliance with the ordinance. 41*W� . v�014 MV no w..wr o• rr.s .o: Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us 2. McHenry Indoor Theater (1208 Green). The additional three variances are for the movie theater. First, the ordinance allows for a total of two wall signs not to exceed 41.25 sq/ft, the movie theater is proposing a total of 4 wall signs and an additional 125.25 sq ft. The additional two wall signs proposed are for digital movie posters. This variance is specific to increasing the number of permitted wall signs from two to four. Second, a total of three digital posters will display the movies that are currently playing and these will be located under the facade/canopy of the building on the south face of the wall directly adjacent to the entry doors. Each theaters is being sponsored by a local business - Buss Ford, Gary Lang and Steffens Jewelers — and, as such, each of the digital posters will include the name of the sponsoring business. The sign ordinance does not allow off site advertising and, therefore, a variance is required to display the names of these businesses on the outdoor signage and, as such, this variance is specific to permitting offsite advertising on the digital signs. As identified above, the existing ordinance allows for signage not to exceed 41.25 sq/ft. The additional 2 wall signs (digital movie posters) along with the proposed new theater sign (drawings attached) total 166.50 sq/ft, 125.25 sq/ft more than allowed by ordinance. Therefore, the third variance is specific to allowing an additional 125.25 sq/ft of signage for the McHenry Theater. Per the Municipal Code, a sign variance must abide by the following four items: 1) Will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the vicinity; 2) Will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, increase the danger of fire, endanger public safety, or substantially impair property values in the neighborhood; 3) Shall not give the property owner or business an unfair advantage over a similar business; and 4) Will not cause a hazard to the public's safety by being distracting because of size, location, or being located within rights -of -way. go wuwr o� rww wwu Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us In reviewing the proposed variances, Staff believes the variance requests abide by all of the criteria above and recommends approval. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if the City Council concurs it is recommended that a motion be made to grant the following sign variances to Boone Creek Crossing LLC for 1204 and 1208 Green Street. • At 1204 Greet Street, a variance of 11 sq/ft to permit a projecting sign not to exceed 16 sq/ft; • At 1208 Green Street, a variance to allow two (2) additional wall signs for a total of four (4) wall signs; • At 1208 Green Street, a variation to allow offsite advertising on the three (3) proposed digital signs; and, • At 1208 Green Street, a variation to allow 125.25 sq. ft. of additional wall signage for total signage not to exceed 166.50 sq/ft.

This requires that property taxes be levied by the County Clerk. The City's intentions are to abate these taxes through the County Clerk annually through the attached abatement ordinances. BACKGROUND: Over the years, the City of McHenry has issued a variety of bonds that pledge various funding sources for repayment backed by the full faith and credit of municipality. In pledging the full faith and credit of the municipality, the bond ordinances require the County Clerk to levy property taxes for the debt service required on the bonds unless an abatement of the property tax by the local municipality is approved and filed with the County Clerk. ANALYSIS: In structuring the bonds in this manner, it was the intent of the City to annually abate the taxes provided the primary source of repayment is sufficient to cover the debt service requirement. Historically, the primary source of repayment has been sufficient to cover the debt service and the property tax has been abated. Projections show that revenue sources in the coming year will continue to provide adequate coverage for debt service requirements allowing the abatement of the property tax. Consequently, in order for the County Clerk to abate or reduce the property taxes levied, the City Council will need to approve the attached ordinances authorizing the abatements as follows: 1. GO Bonds (Recovery Zone & Build America) Series 2010B 2. GO Bonds (Alternate) Series 2010C 3. GO Bonds (Alternate) Series 2012 4. GO Bonds (Refunding) Series 2013 6. GO Bonds (Refunding) Series 2015 $ 418,105.00 $ 446,920.00 $ 210,432.50 $ 593,910000 $ 576,978.76 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinances for the abatements as listed.

The purpose is to report the actuarial contribution requirement for the contribution year May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018. Determinations for purposes other than meeting the employer's actuarial contribution requirements may be significantly different from the results herein. The results in this report are based on information and data submitted by the McHenry Police Pension Fund including studies performed by prior actuaries. We did not prepare the actuarial valuations for the years prior to May 1, 2017. Those valuations were prepared by other actuaries whose reports have been furnished to us, and our disclosures are based upon those reports. An audit of the information was not performed, but high-level reviews were performed for general reasonableness, as appropriate, based on the purpose of the valuation. The accuracy of the results is dependent upon the accuracy and completeness of the underlying information. The results of the actuarial valuation and these supplemental disclosures rely on the information provided. The valuation results summarized in this report involve actuarial calculations that require assumptions about future events. The McHenry Police Pension Fund selected certain assumptions, while others were the result of guidance and/or judgment. We believe that the assumptions used in this valuation are reasonable and appropriate for the purposes for which they have been used. To the best of our knowledge, all calculations are in accordance with the applicable funding requirements, and the procedures followed and presentation of results conform to generally accepted actuarial principles and practices. The undersigned of Lauterbach & Amen, LLP, with actuarial credentials, meets the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries to render this Actuarial Opinion. There is no relationship between the McHenry Police Pension Fund and Lauterbach & Amen, LLP that impairs our objectivity.

McHenry Police Pension Fund Page 3 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY - COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS Contribution Results The contribution recommendation is based on the funding policies and procedures that are outlined in the "Actuarial Funding Policies" section of this report. The State of Illinois statutes for pension funds contain parameters that should be used to determine the minimum amount of contribution to a public pension fund. Those parameters and the resulting minimum contribution can be found in the "Illinois Statutory Minimum Contribution" section of this report. Defined Benefit Plan Risks Asset Growth Pension funding involves preparing plan assets to pay benefits for the members when they retire. During their working careers, assets need to build with contributions and investment earnings, and then the pension fund distributes assets during retirement. Based on the fund's current mix of employees and funded status, the fund should be experiencing positive asset growth on average if requested contributions are made and expected investment earnings come in. In the current year, the fund asset growth was positive by approximately $2.0 million dollars. Asset growth is important long-term. Long-term cash flow out of the pension fund is primarily benefit payments. Expenses make up a smaller portion. The fund should monitor the impact of expected benefit payments and the impact on asset growth in the future. In the next 5 years, benefits payments are anticipated to increase 20-25%, or approximately $430,000. In the next 10 years, the expected increase in benefit payments is 65-70%, or approximately $1.3 million dollars. Unfunded Liability: Unfunded liability represents dollars we expect to be in the pension fund already for the fund members based on funding policy. To the extent dollars are not in the pension fund the fund is losing investment returns on those dollars going forward. Payments to unfunded liability pay for the lost investment earnings, as well as the outstanding unfunded amount. If payment is not made, the unfunded liability will grow. In the early 1990s, many pension funds in Illinois adopted an increasing payment to handle unfunded liability due to a change in legislation. The initial payments decreased, and payments were anticipated to increase annually after that. In many situations, payments early on may be less than the interest on unfunded liability, which means unfunded liability is expected to increase even if contributions are at the recommended level. McHenry Police Pension Fund Page 4 e The current contribution recommendation includes a payment to unfunded liability that is approximately $32,000 less than interest on the unfunded liability. All else being equal and contributions being made, unfunded liability would still be expected to increase. The employer and the fund should anticipate currently that improvement in the funded percent will be mitigated in the short-term. The employer and the fund should understand this impact as we progress forward to manage expectations. Actuarial Value of Assets: The pension fund smooths asset returns that vary from expectations over a five-year period. The intention over time is that asset returns for purposes of funding recommendations are a combination of several years. The impact is intended to smooth out the volatility of contribution recommendations over time, but not necessarily increase or decrease the level of contributions over the long-term. When asset returns are smoothed, there are always gains or losses on the Market Value of Assets that are going to be deferred for current funding purposes, and recognized in future years. Currently, the pension fund is deferring approximately $740,000 in losses on the Market Value of Assets. These are asset losses that will be recognized in upcoming periods, independent of the future performance of the Market Value of Assets. Plan Assets The results in this report are based on the assets held in the pension fund. Assets consist of funds held for investment and for benefit payments as of the valuation date. In addition, assets may be adjusted for other events representing dollars that are reasonably expected to be paid out from the pension fund or deposited into the pension fund after the actuarial valuation date as well. The current fund assets are audited. The Plan The actuarial value of assets under the funding policy is equal to the fair market Assets Used in value of assets, with unexpected gains and losses smoothed over 5 years. More this Report detail on the Actuarial Value of Assets can be found in the funding policy section of the report. are Audited McHenry Police Pension Fund Page 5 �,11MAIMMY A ! Demographic Data Demographic factors can change from year to year within a pension fund. Changes in this category include hiring new employees, employees retiring or becoming disabled, retirees passing away, and other changes. Demographic changes can cause an actuarial gain (contribution that is less than expected compared to the prior year) or an actuarial loss (contribution that is greater than expected compared to the prior year). Demographic gains and losses occur when the assumptions over the one-year period for employee changes do not meet our long-term expectation. For example, if no employees become disabled during the year, we would expect a liability gain. If more employees become disabled than anticipated last year, we would expect a liability loss. Generally, we expect short-term fluctuations in demographic experience to create 1%-3% gains or losses in any given year, but to balance out in the long-term. In the current report, the key demographic changes were as follows: New hires: The fund added 5 new active members in the current year through hiring. When a new member is admitted to the pension fund, the employer contribution will increase to reflect the new member. The increase in the recommended contribution in the current year for the new fund members is approximately $26,000. Retirement: There was 1 member of the fund who retired during the year. When a fund member retires, the normal cost will decrease. Any change in the actuarial liability will be considered when determining the amount to pay towards unfunded liability each year. The decrease in the recommended contribution in the current year due to the retirement experience is approximately $2,700. Deferred Annuitants: There was 1 vested member of the fund who terminated employment during the year. The fund may be obligated to pay a benefit to the member in the future. The decrease in the recommended contribution in the current year due to the termination experience is approximately $24,000. Termination: There was lnon-vested member of the fund who terminated employment during the year. The member took a refund. The fund is no longer obligated to pay a benefit to the member in the future. The decrease in the recommended contribution in the current year due to the termination experience is approximately $8,800. Mortality: There was 1 surviving spouse who passed away during the year. When a beneficiary passes away, the fund liability will decrease as the pension fund no longer will make future payments to the beneficiary. The decrease in the recommended contribution in the current year due to the mortality experience is approximately $14,000. McHenry Police Pension Fund Page 6 Salary Increases: Salary increases were less than anticipated in the current year. Most active members received an increase of 2.50% or less. This caused a decrease in the recommended contribution in the current year of approximately $1,300. Assumption Changes In the current valuation, the demographic assumptions were changed to the tables shown in the Actuarial Assumptions section of this report. The changes were made based on a study of Firefighters and Fire Pension Funds in Illinois. The assumptions impacted include: • Mortality Rates • Mortality Improvement Rates • Retirement Rates • Disability Rates • Termination Rates We have updated the mortality assumption to include mortality improvements as stated in the most recently released MP-2016 table. In addition, the rates are being applied on a fully -generational basis. See page 29 for more details on the specific mortality updates made. In the current valuation, certain economic assumptions were changed to the rates shown in the Actuarial Assumptions section of this report. The individual pay scale and total payroll growth assumptions have been updated based on review of the most recent collective bargaining agreement. We have also updated the consumer price index rate. The above stated assumption changes were made to better reflect the future anticipated experience of the Fund. See the table on the following page for the impact of these changes on the current valuation. Funding Policy Changes The funding policy was not changed from the prior year. McHenry Police Pension Fund Page 7 ACTUARIAL CONTRIBUTION RECOMMENDATION -RECONCILIATION Actuarial liability is expected to increase each year for both interest for the year and as active employees earn additional service years towards retirement. Similarly, actuarial liability is expected to decrease when the fund pays benefits to inactive employees. Contributions are expected to increase as expected pay increases under the funding policy for the Fund. Other increases or decreases in actuarial liability (key changes noted below) will increase or decrease the amount of unfunded liability in the plan. To the extent unfunded liability increases or decreases unexpectedly, the contribution towards unfunded liability will also change unexpectedly.

McHenry Police Pension Fund Page 12 / r '�JMWL4fA2 HISTORICAL ASSET PERFORMANCE The chart below shows the historical rates of return on plan assets for both Market Value of Assets and Actuarial Value of Assets. Market Actuarial Value Value First Preceding Year 9.6% 5.6% The returns on assets shown above were calculated based on the annual return on investment for the year, as a percentage of the average value of the assets for the year. For purposes of determining the average value of assets during the year, the ending market value of assets has been adjusted to net out to the portion related to the investment returns themselves. All other cash flows are included. For purposes of determining the annual return on investment we have adjusted the figures shown on the preceding pages. The figures shown on the preceding pages are net of investment expenses. We have made an additional adjustment to net out administrative expenses. Netting out administrative expenses allows us to capture returns for the year that can be used to make benefit payments as part of the ongoing actuarial process. The adjustment we make is for actuarial reporting purposes only. By netting out administrative expenses and capturing return dollars that are available to pay benefits, it provides us a comparison to the estimated rate of return on assets, but does not provide a figure that would be consistent with the return rates that are determined by other parties. Therefore, this calculated rate of return should not be used to analyze investment performance of the Fund or the performance of the investment professionals.

The actuarial cost and amortization method allocates the projected obligations of the plan over the working lifetimes of the plan participants. The recommended contribution amount shown in this report is based on the methods summarized above. The Actuarial Funding Policies section of the report will include a more detailed description of the Funding methods being used. The Actuarial Funding Methods are meant to provide a systematic process for determining contributions on an annual basis. The methods do not impact the expectation of future benefit payments. The methods only impact the way dollars are contributed towards future benefit payments. Different Actuarial Funding Methods may achieve funding goals with differing levels of success. Certain methods are more efficient and more stable on an annual basis.

The resulting contribution is lower than the recommended contribution for the current plan year. The lower contribution amount is not recommended because it represents only a deferral of contributions when compared to the recommended contribution method. Actuarial Funding methods for pensions are best applied to provide a balance between the long-term goals of a variety of stakeholders: 1. Beneficiaries —the fund participants are interested in benefit security and having the dollars there to pay benefits when retired 2. Employers —cost control and cost stability over the long-term 3. Taxpayers —paying for the services they are receiving from active employees The Statutory Minimum Contribution methods are not intended to provide a better system in any of the above categories long-term. The parameters are not recommended for a long-term funding strategy. The Statutory Minimum methods put into place in 2011 were intended to provide short-term budget relief for Employer contributions. An employer using the Statutory Minimum parameters for current funding should view the contributions as short-term relief. Our recommendation in this situation is for a pension fund and an employer to work towards a long-term funding strategy that better achieves the long-term funding goals, over a period that does not exceed 3-5 years. The Securities and Exchange Commission in 2013 used the phrase "Statutory Underfunding" to describe situations where contributions appear to be more manageable in the short-term, but set up future contribution requirements that are less likely to be manageable.

In accordance with the Pension Fund's Funding Policy the actuarial cost method for the recommended contribution basis is Entry Age Normal (Level Percent of Pay). The Entry Age Normal Cost Method is a method under which the actuarial present value of the projected benefits of each individual included in an actuarial valuation is allocated on a level basis over the earnings or service of the individual between entry age and assumed exit age. The portion of this actuarial present value allocated to a valuation year is called normal cost. The portion of the actuarial present value not provided at a valuation date by the actuarial present value of future normal costs is called the actuarial liability. FINANCING UNFUNDED ACTUARIAL ACCRUED LIABILITY The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability may be amortized over a period either in level dollar amounts or as a level percentage of projected payroll. In accordance with the Pension Fund's Funding Policy for the recommended contribution, the unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities are amortized by level percent of payroll contributions to a 100% funding target over the remaining 23 future years. ACTUARIAL VALUE OF ASSETS The pension fund is an ongoing plan. The employer wishes to smooth the effect of volatility in .the market value of assets on the annual contribution. The Actuarial Value of Assets is equal to the Market Value of Assets with unanticipated gains/losses recognized over five years. The asset valuation method is intended to create an Actuarial Value of Assets that remains reasonable in relation to the Market Value of Assets over time. The method produces results that can fall above and below the Market Value of Assets. The period of recognition is short. It is intended that the period of recognition is short enough to keep the Actuarial Value of Assets within a decent range of the Market Value. The employer has not placed a specific corridor around the Market Value of Assets. McHenry Police Pension Fund Page 25 ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS Nature of Actuarial Calculations Actuarial Assumptions in the Valuation Process Actuarial Assumptions Utilized A CI f t A 4IN NATURE OF ACTUARIAL CALCULATIONS The results documented in this report are estimates based on data that may be imperfect and on assumptions about future events. Certain plan provisions may be approximated or deemed immaterial, and, therefore, are not valued. Assumptions may be made about participant data or other factors. Reasonable efforts were made in this valuation to ensure that significant items in the context of the actuarial liabilities or costs are treated appropriately, and not excluded or included inappropriately. Actual future experience will differ from the assumptions used in the calculations. As these differences arise, the expense for accounting purposes will be adjusted in future valuations to reflect such actual experience. A range of results different from those presented in this report could be considered reasonable. The numbers are not rounded, but this is for convenience only and should not imply precision which is not inherent in actuarial calculations. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS IN THE VALUATION PROCESS The contribution and benefit values of the Pension Fund are calculated by applying actuarial assumptions to the benefit provisions and census information furnished, using the actuarial cost methods described in the previous section. The principal areas of financial risk which require assumptions about future experience are: ■ Long-term Rates of Investment Return ■ Patterns of Pay Increases for Members ■ Rates of Mortality Among Members and Beneficiaries ■ Rates of Withdrawal of Active Members ■ Rates of Disability Among Members ■ Age Patterns of Actual Retirement Actual experience of the Pension Fund will not coincide exactly with assumed experience. Each valuation provides a complete recalculation of assumed future experience and takes into account all past differences between assumed and actual experience. The result is a continual series of adjustments to the computed contribution requirement. From time to time it becomes appropriate to modify one or more of the assumptions, to reflect experience trends (but not random year-to-year fluctuations). Details behind the selection of the actuarial assumptions can be found in the assumption document provided to the client. The client has reviewed and approved the assumptions as a reasonable expectation of the future anticipated experience under the plan.

McHenry Police Pension Fund Page 29 SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL PLAN PROVISIONS Establishment of the Fund Administration Employee Contributions Normal Retirement Pension Benefits Pension to Survivors Termination Benefits Disability Benefits ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FUND The Police Pension Fund is established and administered as prescribed by "Article 3. Police Pension Fund — Municipalities 500,000 and Under" of the Illinois Pension Code. ADMINISTRATION The Police Pension Fund is administered by a Board of Trustees located in each municipality maintaining a pension fund for its police officers. Its duties are to control and manage the pension fund, to hear and determine applications for pensions, to authorize payment of pensions, to establish rules, to pay expenses, to invest funds, and to keep records. EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS Employees contribute 9.910% of salary. NORMAL RETIREMENT PENSION BENEFIT Hired Prior to January 1, 2011 Eligibility: Age 50 with at least 20 years of creditable service and no longer a police officer. Benefit: 50% of final salary is payable commencing at retirement for 20 years of service. An additional 2.5% of final salary is added for each additional year of service in excess of 20 years of service (not to exceed 75% of final salary). "Final salary" is the salary attached to rank held on the last day of services or for 1 year prior to the last day, whichever is greater. Annual Increase in Benefit: An officer will receive an initial increase of 1/12 of 30/ for each month that has elapsed since retirement. The initial increase date will be the later of the first day of the month following the attainment of age 55, or the first anniversary of the date of retirement. Subsequent increases of 3% of the current pension amount (including prior increases) will be provided in each January thereafter. McHenry Police Pension Fund Page 31 NORMAL RETIREMENT PENSION BENEFIT -CONTINUED Hired on or After January 1, 2011 Eligibility: Age 55 with at least 10 years of creditable service and no longer a police officer. Benefit: 2.5% of final average salary for each year of service is payable at retirement (not to exceed 75% of final average salary). "Final average salary" is determined by dividing the highest total salary over 96 consecutive months of service in the last 120 months of service by the total number of months of service in the period. Annual salary for this purpose will not exceed $106,800, indexed by the lesser of 3% or %2 of the CPI-U for the 12 months ending with the September preceding each November 1. The salary cap will not decrease. AnnZcal Increase in Benefit: The initial increase date will be the January 1st following the later of the attainment of age 60, or the first anniversary of the date of retirement. Subsequent increases will occur on each subsequent January Pt.

Attached is a quote from Heller and Heller Consulting LLC to perform an aquatics feasibility proforma analysis in the amount of $19,500. Heller and Heller was part of the initial recreation center master planning and has a baseline knowledge of the project. Expansion of the indoor and outdoor aquatics elements would offer the greatest potential for increased revenues and expenditures of a facility expansion and, as such, will be the focus of the proforma. The proforma would require a budget amendment in the same amount from the Recreation Center Fund. BACKGROUND: As Council may recall, the McHenry Recreation Center site was master -planned for expansion of the facility to include future indoor and outdoor recreation components however, due to available funding at the time, the City chose to build the existing McHenry Recreation Center as the first phase. The results of the recently completed Community Needs Assessment noted a strong desire to expand both indoor and outdoor offerings at the McHenry Recreation Center such as an indoor pool for lap swimming, a warm water therapy pool and zero depth spray pad, a two -court gymnasium with a walking track, and an outdoor aquatic center with a variety of multi -generational family friendly activities. As we know the existing McHenry Recreation Center was able to be built with Park Developer Donations that the City had set aside for many years, and operational and debt service costs are f(ser.ity offve`cife:try � �edicrca'ed t��rovid'ucg ifs e��ize�s, ur�siaresses, ¢rtcf vis:°L•ars with tice hi�I.ect grcr�k`cty uf'`�vogrez:r2s ciraCc` services irz a eustc�mer-e�eientecc; i•reret, � aa�''jr�eaf!y �es�onsiSCe �rxr�a�r�cr. covered by membership/use revenues. Moving forward; any expansion of the facility must include public funding participation in some form. As a first step in this consideration, in order to assist in answering questions related to the financial impact of a facility expansion that the Parks and Recreation Committee, City Council, and community may have, a thorough analysis of the potential facilities and their operational plans, specifically revenues and expenditures, is vital. ANALYSIS: The Community Needs Assessment has proven to be an extremely valuable tool in identifying the desires of the community for expansion opportunities at the McHenry Recreation Center, specifically, the development of indoor and outdoor aquatics facilities. What the study does not provide however, is the financial road map that leads the city to undertake such an expansion based on potential revenue and expenditure projections. For the city to fully explore expansion, operational expenses and revenues coupled with an analysis of demographics and the identified market area of the facility are integral pieces the city currently does not possess and would subsequently be answered by the proposed Aquatics Feasibility Assessment. As part of the initial development of the Recreation Center master plan, a similar analysis of the outdoor aquatic offering was completed in 2014 by Heller and Heller. This information will be updated and incorporated into the final report. Additionally, since they were also included in the Community Needs Assessment and are a part of the master plan, the development of the gymnasium and walking track will also be analyzed for potential revenue. However, typically beyond the cost of initial construction, there are very few expenses related to the operation of either of these elements and as such, a more thorough analysis is not necessary. Staff is confident that the thoroughness of previous work that the firm has completed for the City of McHenry and familiarity of our community best suits Heller and Heller to once again be our partner to assist in progressing this project. RECOMMENDATION: If City Council concurs, then Staff is looking for a motion to authorize a budget amendment in the amount of $19,500 in the Recreation Center Fund and approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Heller and Heller Consulting, LLC to perform an Aquatics Feasibility Study for the McHenry Recreation Center in the amount of $19,500. Heller and Heller Consulting, LLC, November 29, 2017 Bill Hobson Deputy City Administrator City of McHenry 333 South Green Street McHenry, IL 60050 Dear Bill: Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with information about the approach for the feasibility and financial comparison of an indoor 50 meter pool and a 25 meter pool. Attached you will find the task approach for the project, along with associated fees. The work can be completed within a three- month timeframe. I will manage the project and will be assisted by Dannielle Wilson, also of Heller and Heller Consulting, LLC. I understand the importance of the work to be completed in order to identify operating expenses and revenues of alternative options for the aquatics portion of the Community Center expansion project. This is a very exciting project for the community and am grateful for the opportunity for involvement in the project. Please review and let me know if you need any additional information. I appreciate the opportunity to work with the City of McHenry once again. Sincerely, Barbara Heller President, Heller and Heller Consulting, LLC Feasibility Study and Market Analysis The following information details the approach to a feasibility study and market analysis and comparison for a 50 meter indoor pool and a 25 meter indoor pool, along with a warm water pool. Phase 1 Kick -Off Meeting CI CI Collection The Heller and Heller Consulting (HHC) team will facilitate akick-off meeting, and we will review the proposed services and formalize the timeline including methodologies and tasks, final number and types of meetings, expected quality and formats for deliverables. During the kick-off meeting we will discuss: Vision —This will include discussion about the vision for the functions and uses of the proposed facilities as well as an understanding/discussion of financial goals. Expectations/Tasks — Discuss and define overall expectations and necessary tasks and responsibilities. Awork plan (including initial goals &objectives, as it relates specifically to the task) and project schedule will be developed. Prepare Evaluation Criteria /Project Parameters -Facilitate the development of discussions and evaluations with the Department's requirements and overall project parameters. Communication —Confirmation on lines of communication, points of contact, level of involvement by Department leaders and staff, and other related project management details. Data Collection —Request, collect, log and review potential data and required information provided by the Department in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the project background. The HHC Team will provide a data request form. Conceptual Design —Review of the project work completed by FGM for the Community Center to understand the total project, with aquatics being a part of the project. Phase 2: Facility Analysis a. Demographic Analysis —The Consulting Team will complete a demographic trends analysis which is based on 2010 Census data, and projected populations for the next five and ten years. Demographic characteristics analyzed and reported on will include population, age and gender distribution, minority population, number of households, and income characteristics. This analysis will provide an understanding of the demographic environment for the following reasons: To understand the market areas which are potentially served by the facility. To determine changes and assist in making proactive decisions to accommodate those shifts. Results of the previous demographic analysis completed as part of the previous feasibility study for the Community Center will be reviewed as well. b. Community Survey Results —The results of the recent Community Survey will be reviewed to capture any information related to aquatics facility/programming. c. Service Provider Analysis — The Consulting Team will analyze all major direct and indirect service providers related to aquatics operations. Direct and indirect service providers will be based on typical services/programs administered in like park and recreation facilities or private facilities. This data will be utilized to compare against the activities and programs identified in the following Market Definition. An inventory of comparable facilities will be performed on a local and regional basis to attempt to quantify market share. An analysis of competition will include: location, service offering, pricing, facility amenities, and program types. d. Market Definition —The Consulting Team will confirm the size of the market. Detailed demographic analysis will be compared to potential recreational activities to estimate potential participation per national and local trends, as documented in the Sports & Fitness Industry Association's (SFIA) Study of Sports, Fitness, and Leisure Participation as it applies to the McHenry market research data, National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA), and Environmental Services Research Institute's (ESRI) Sports and Leisure Market Potential Report. Additionally, the National Recreation and Park Association's Community Profile and Health & Wellness Market Reports can be used to verify the market. This information will assist in determining the size of the activity market by age segment and frequency rates that can be applied to the proposed Facility. Phase 3: Operational Plan In order to develop good financial information for the ongoing operations and maintenance costs, as well as operating revenue, the Team will work on developing a realistic plan of operations for the 50 meter and 25 meter pools. This information will be based on operating assumptions, developed in alignment with the City of McHenry's vision for the facility. The operating assumptions include the development of information based on staffing, organizational structure, facility schedule, types of programs and services, leasing possibilities, and the use of partnerships. a. Organizational Plan — The Consulting Team will analyze current management practices and limitations to understand the operational situation of the proposed 50 or 25 meter facility. This analysis will provide support for a future organizational structure and staffing requirements, and strategies for operational efficiency, policy development, system and technology requirements, and marketing/communication capabilities. We will also discuss any possible partnership ideas that may exist. b. Operational Standards —The Consulting Team will establish operational standards and costs for each of the proposed aquatics facilities, based on full operations. This will include hours of operation, staffing levels needed, technology requirements and customer service requirements based on established and agreed upon outcomes. A listing of operational assumptions will be developed in collaboration with staff. This will include information such as salary and benefits, operating hours, in-house and contracted work, schedule of use, and other information. c. Ongoing Operations and Maintenance Costs —Research will be completed with estimates of utility usage and other ongoing maintenance costs based on similar types of facilities. d. Operating Revenues —Working with City of McHenry officials, we will identify cost recovery goals for each pool, and along with operating expenditures, will identify gross and net revenue amounts. Revenues from program fees and charges, rentals, special events, leasing of space, partnerships, and other sources will be reviewed and estimated for a five-year period. Revenues will include a listing of identified aquatics related programming, including learn to swim programs. Estimates will be provided for types and numbers of programs, number of rentals, possibilities for pool rentals, and partnership options. The revenue analysis will also include a listing of pricing for the various services. The development of revenue and expense will also include a review of existing indoor aquatics operations in the Chicagoland area to assist in determining realistic revenue and expense amounts. Phase 4: Development of Feasibility Study After all of the previous phases are completed, a draft feasibility study report will be provided that will include a summary of all of the previous phases, along with a detailed summary of the five year listing of operational expenses and revenues for a 50 meter pool and a 25 meter pool. Detailed excel spreadsheets will also be provided to the City of McHenry staff that will provide back-up information to the overall operating revenues and expense. After staff reviews the initial draft, edits will be made, and a second draft will be provided to staff. Subsequent to this draft, final edits will be made and a final study report will be developed. An electronic version of the report will be provided. Hard copies can be provided for an additional cost. Fees: The work as outlined can be accomplished for the amount of $19,500 and includes all expenses. ►�►PkW Department of Public Works Jon M. Schmitt, Director v 1415 Industrial Drive t McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2186 Fax: (815) 363-2214 cHe r www.ci.mchenry.il.us REGULAR AGENDA SUPPLEMENT DATE: December 4, 2017 TO: City Council FROM: Wayne S. Jett, Mayor Derik Morefield, City Administrator Jon M. Schmitt, Director of Public Works RE: Downtown Parking Access/Capacity Improvements Design Engineering ATT: Baxter and Woodman Professional Services Agreement Change Order AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: Staff requests City Council consider a budget amendment in the amount of $64,440.00 from the General Fund Balance for the Downtown Parking Access/Capacity Improvements Project and, a Professional Services Contract Change Order to add this project to the Professional Services Agreement for Recreation Center Parking Lot Expansion with Baxter & Woodman, Inc. BACKGROUND: At the November 20, 2017 City Council Meeting, staff and Mayor Jett presented the following "Tier 1" downtown parking improvements for City Council consideration: Tier 1 Projects: • Parking Access Improvement - Design Engineering for enhancing/expanding lighting around Veterans Park, Court Street upper and lower lots, and Riverside alley; • Parking Capacity Improvement - Design Engineering for improving/expanding south Riverside Drive parking lot (33 net spaces); and, • Parking Capacity Improvement - Design Engineering for parking lot construction at 1206 Court Street (22 total spaces) including demolition of buildings at 1206 Court Street and Neumann Park; The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest quality of programs and services in a customer -oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner. ANALYSIS: City staff has previously solicited proposals for Professional Engineering Services for a parking lot expansion at the Recreation Center from the City's pool of prequalified firms through the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Four (4) firms out of the seven (7) firms that prequalified in both the Municipal Engineering Transportation category and Water/Wastewater category submitted a proposal for the Recreation Center Parking Lot Expansion Project. Proposals were examined for conformance with the conditions of the RFP and evaluated based upon the criteria identified in the RFP. Based on this process, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Contract to Baxter and Woodman, Inc. for the Recreation Center Parking Lot Expansion Project. In order to expedite the Tier 1 projects identified above to be able to identify Tier 2 project development costs for consideration as part of the Capital Improvement Plan and FY18/19 Budget, staff requested that Baxter and Woodman submit a Professional Services Agreement Change Order to the Recreation Center Parking Lot Expansion Project to include design engineering services for Tier 1 projects. As additional information, while having the Tier 1 design engineering is a first step in implementing many of the Tier 2 projects, it does not commit the City to undertaking any of the projects in FY18/19 but, rather, could be used at some later point to undertake projects so long as project conditions do not substantially change. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be made to authorize a budget amendment in the amount of $64,440.00 from the General Fund Balance and approve a Professional Services Contract Change Order to include the Downtown Parking Access/Capacity Improvements Project to the Professional Services Agreement for the Recreation Center Parking Lot Expansion Project with Baxter & Woodman, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $64,440.00.

McArdle DATE: November 28, 2017 RE: Amendment of City of McHenry downtown TIF to remove 1306 N. Green Street parcel Mayor Jett has advised me that he is the contract purchaser of a parcel commonly known as 1306 N. Green Street, which is within the TIF District. Under the Illinois TIF Act, no member Athe corporate authorities of a municipality may acquire land within a TIF: Furthermore, no such member or employee shall acquire of any interest direct, or indirect, in any property in a redevelopment area or proposed redevelopment area after either (a) such individual obtains knowledge of such plan, project area or (b) first public notice of such plan, project or area pursuant to Section 11-74.4-6 of this Division [65 ILCS 5/11- 74.4-6], whichever occurs first. 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-4. We believe that the most practical means of addressing this issue is by removing the parcel from the TIF District based on the following statutory authority: Changes which do not (1) add additional parcels of property to the proposed redevelopment project area, (2) substantially affect the general land uses proposed in the redevelopment pIan, (3) substantially change the nature of the redevelopment project, (4) increase the total estimated redevelopment project cost set out in the redevelopment plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from the date the plan was adopted, (5) add additional redevelopment project costs to the itemized list of redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment plan, or (6) increase the number of inhabited residential units to be displaced from the redevelopment project area, as measured from the time of creation of the redevelopment project area, to a total of more than 10, may be made without further public hearing and related notices and procedures including the convening of a joint review board asset forth in Section 11-74.4-6 of this Act provided that the municipality shall give notice of any such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and registrant on the interested parties registry, provided or under Section 11-74.44.2, and by publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the affected taxing district. Such notice by mail and publication shall each occur not later than 10 days following the adoption by ordinance of such changes. 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-5. While no public hearing is required to remove a parcel from the TIF, we did, as a courtesy, advise the relevant taxing districts that the City Council will take up this question and may take action to remove the parcel at the December 4, 2017 City Council meeting. As a courtesy, we will follow-up and send the statutorily required notices to the relevant taxing districts, if the City Council adopts an ordinance removing the subject property.

Application Packet AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for an expanded site plan review in accordance with the downtown overlay district to allow a contractor's office, with storage on -site and two principal uses on one zoning lot and any other variances to allow the property to be developed in SUBSTANTIAL conformance with the public hearing application submitted for the subject property located at 1306 N Green Street. BACKGROUND: Wayne Jett has submitted an application to redevelop the former Fox Valley Sash and Door (old Post Office building) into two principal uses, Jett's Heating and Air and Sideline Marketing. The 1 Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us requested action is a Cononal Use Permit for an expanded site plan review in accordance with Downtown Overlay District (see attached Downtown Overlay District Ordinance) because the property is zoned C-4 and a contractor's office is a permitted use in a C-5 district and the zoning ordinance only permits one principal use/zoning lot. The applicant is proposing two. The building in question has been vacant and property in receivership for more than a year. It is a difficult property to fill due to the fact that any use, such as a restaurant or assembly -type use, would require the installation of a sprinkler system, which is very costly. The parking lot has been in disrepair and patched but needs additional work. The surrounding retaining wall is compromised and needs to be repaired. Additionally, the property is in the heart of downtown McHenry and is located along the path of many parade routes, has a very visible and prominent street presence as depicted below and, unlike many downtown buildings, has on -site parking immediately to the north of the building. 1306 N Green Street ANALYSIS: Downtown Revitalization has been a priority for the City for numerous years and many actions have been taken to assist with this effort including: establishment of tax increment financing district, completion of Downtown Plan, Overlay District with Design Guidelines, development of Riverwalk in conjunction with McHenry Riverwalk Foundation, redevelopment of former McHenry Hospital site, purchase of Miller Point site, installation of public boat piers, along with wayfinding signage, joint marketing efforts of community events in cooperation with 1f i X CdHT Oi T OR RNEA✓ Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us businessesI McHenry Area Chamber, Downtown Business Association, McHenry Outdoor, McHenry Rotary Sunrise and Kiwanis Clubs and Green Street Cruise Nights, etc. - - — Existing Land-i�,is;s S�ro."dn.

Downtown revitalization is an ongoing process, which takes continued effort and time and having, and sustaining, a vibrant downtown is an integral component of any successful community by contributing greatly to a high quality of life for residents, businesses and visitors. This particular site is challenging due to the square footage and the limited potential uses, many of which would require the building to be fitted with a fire suppression system. The interior of the building is in decent condition and the applicant is proposing to relocate his HVAC business from Prairie Grove to McHenry and run an office/dispatch center out of the building, along with his sports marketing business (Sideline Marketing). Most of the applicant's employees take their company vehicles home at night, although parking of work -related vehicles is permitted on -site. The applicant's vehicles consist mainly of sprinter -type vans and pick-ups/smaller trucks. There are few deliveries that occur but these would not block any traffic on Green Street. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to repair the parking lot, work with the neighbor to 3 Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us have the retaining wall repair and implement landscaping that would provide a much cleaner look to the site. As presented the proposal will provide multiple benefits to the City: • Brings a new business within the City Limits of McHenry; • Places more people in the downtown area; • Fills a vacant building which has been extremely difficult to fill; • Cleans -up an eyesore in a prominent downtown location; • Will draw some walk-in traffic and additional activity in the downtown area; • Will attract additional investment to the downtown area; Downtown Overlay District (DOD) In 2005, the City Council adopted the Downtown Overlay District (DOD). The purpose of an overlay district is to place additional regulations on a specific area, over and above the underlying zoning district. Overlay districts are commonly used as part of preserving; protecting or enhancing certain areas of a city, including downtowns, historic preservation areas, wetland areas, water recharge zones, scenic viewshed corridors or sign overlay districts. A property owner in a proposed overlay district is required to follow the regulations of the underlying zoning district and the requirements of the overlay district. The DOD the City of McHenry established sought to give property owners additional opportunities to improve their properties or, conversely, to redevelop their properties. The overlay district does include guidelines, requirements, procedures and criteria that are required to be met in order to deviate from the zoning ordinance (see attached Downtown Design Guidelines). It also provides flexibility by allowing deviations from the zoning ordinance requirements. For example, the Zoning Ordinance only allows one principal building per zoning lot. The proposed ordinance has a provision for deviating from that requirement provided there will be no deleterious impacts on adjacent properties, and that the goals of the Downtown Plan are furthered, similar to the approval criteria for conditional use permits. In order to deviate from the Zoning Ordinance, however, properties must provide information on the proposed project, follow certain procedures (See Procedures for Site Development Review) and meet the criteria established in the Criteria for Review section of the DOD Ordinance. There are two processes for review established in the DOD Ordinance - an administrative site plan review, and an expanded site plan review. Administrative site plan review includes all applications that comply with the provisions in the Zoning Ordinance (i.e., a normal building Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us permit application); however, the applicant is required to meet the criteria for review in the overlay district ordinance. All applications for expanded site plan review are required to obtain a conditional use permit and follow the conditional use permit process in the City's Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, each application is required to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission for conformance with the purpose and intent, goals, and criteria for review in the DOD Ordinance including the following: • Conformance with the City of McHenry Downtown Plan. • Conformance with the City of McHenry Downtown Design Guidelines. • Harmony and compatibility of proposed uses with neighboring properties and structures. • Relationship of the proposed activity to the existing site characteristics, e.g.: topography. • Relationship of the proposed activity to existing vehicular and pedestrian circulation. • Adverse impacts on the health, safety and welfare of the general public. • Harmony and compatibility of proposed materials and colors with neighboring properties and structures. • Inclusion of additional improvements intended to further the goals of the Downtown Plan, e.g.: landscaping, decorative lighting, etc. • Relationship to the McHenry Riverwalk (if applicable). • Benefit associated with the development of the property, related to but not limited to the following: i. Economic benefits to the City. ii. Elimination of blighted conditions. iii. Enhancements to city tax base The subject property is zoned C-4 therefore, there are no building setback requirements or off- street parking required; however, the applicant is proposing the following deviations from other regulations in the zoning ordinance: • Multiple land uses in one building (Sideline Marketing and Jett's Heating and Air); • Contractor's Office with Storage; 5 Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us As previously stated the applicant is required to comply with the approval criteria outlined in the DOD Ordinance. The proposed use is consistent with the City's Core Downtown Sub -Area Plan and goals for downtown revitalization. The applicant will also complete fagade enhancements to the building consistent with the Downtown Design Guidelines. Staff believes the use is compatible and complimentary to neighboring properties and will not adversely affect the health or neighboring properties. The building was formerly a non -retail business and, prior to that, the McHenry Post Office. . The applicant is proposing improvements to the parking area adjacent building and working with the neighbor to repair the retaining wall. Finally, the proposed uses will be an economic benefit to the City; greatly improve a currently blighted structure; enhance the tax base and provide a much -needed destination, which benefits the entire downtown and City as a whole. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an expanded site plan review in accordance with the downtown overlay district to allow a contractor's office, with storage on -site and two principal uses on one zoning lot and any other variances to allow the property to be developed in substantial conformance with the public hearing application for submitted for the subject property located at 1306 N Green Street subject to the following conditions: • The applicant shall comply with the Downtown Design Guidelines utilizing and enhancing original building elements on the exterior as well as parking area; • In accordance with the Downtown Design Guidelines the use of box signs, exposed neon, flashing and moving signs is prohibited; • There shall be no loading/unloading on the public right-of-way. The Commission found the application is in conformance with the purpose and intent, goals, and criteria for review in the DOD Ordinance. RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if the City Council concurs with the Planning and Zoning Commission, it is recommended that a motion be made to approve the attached ordinance granting a Conditional Use Permit for an expanded site plan review in accordance with the downtown overlay district to allow a contractor's office, with storage on -site and two principal uses on one zoning lot and any other variances to allow the property to be developed in substantial conformance with the public hearing application for submitted for the subject property located at 1306 N Green Street subject to the following conditions: Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us 1.

Spinell, Court Appointed Receiver, 116 W. Illinois St., 7th Floor, Chicago, IL 60654 (Owner). Vice -Chairman Thacker stated Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Northwest Herald on October 30, 2017. Notices were mailed to all abutting property owners of record as required by ordinance. A Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Compliance with notice requirements are on file in the City Clerk's Office. In attendance was Tom Zanck, 40 Brink Street, Crystal Lake, IL, attorney representing Mr. Jett. Attorney Zanck provided a summary of the request before the Commission at this Hearing stating a 1993 survey was recently found for the property. Mr. Jett has property presently on Route 31 which he rents and wanted to purchase a building and pursued this building after E Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us finding it available in the City. He is asking to put two businesses at this address. Sideline Sports is an internet service -based business which will have one room for storage of items and one employee. The remainder of the building will be used by Jett's Heating and Air with the entire business moving into this space. Mr. Jett will remodel the interior, front of exterior, add an ADA compliant ramp and fix and re -do the parking lot. The neighboring property to the east has a faulty retaining wall and they are hoping to work with them to have it fixed while remodeling is going on. Two businesses at the same address in the downtown overlay district needs approval for the contractor's office and retail store. Mr. Jett is expecting to spend $150- 200,000 in renovations to the building which will increase its assessed value. Mr. Jett has also indicated it is his intent to make parking available to the public when the business is not open. He believes the conditions of the standards are met for the application. A sample sign diagram for Jett's Plumbing and Heating was circulated. They expect one semi a month to be unloaded of materials no traffic or parking on Green St. will be inhibited. Mr. Jett will follow city guidelines and possibly add a fence to the east and north of the property further enhancing it. Director Martin stated there are no setback requirements for the fencing. Director of Economic Development Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this matter stating Wayne Jett has submitted an application to redevelop the former Fox Valley Sash and Door (old Post Office building) into two principal uses, Jett's Heating and Air and Sideline Marketing. The requested action is a Conditional Use Permit for an expanded site plan review in accordance with Downtown Overlay District because the property is zoned C4 and a contractor's office is a permitted use in a C-5 district and the zoning ordinance only permits one principal use/zoning lot. The applicant is proposing two. The building in question is a difficult property to fill due to the fact any use, such as a restaurant or assembly -type use -would require the installation of a sprinkler system which is very costly. The use proposed in this application would not require the installation of a sprinkler system. The parking lot has been in disrepair and patched but needs additional work. The surrounding retaining wall, which is not actually part of the subject property, is compromised and needs to be repaired as well and the property is in the heart of downtown McHenry. It lies on the path of many parade routes and has a very visible and prominent street presence and unlike many downtown buildings has onsite parking immediately to the north of the building. Downtown Revitalization has been a priority for the City for numerous years and many actions have been taken to assist with this effort. All of these efforts contribute to a vibrant downtown, along with attracting new tenants and prospective developers downtown and assisting in bringing residents and visitors and keeping people within the downtown district. 10 Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us This particular site is challenging due to the square footage and the uses, which would require the building to have sprinklers installed.

Vice -Chairman Thacker invited questions and/or comments from the Commission. Commissioner Miller stated all her questions were answered in the presentation and staff report. Commissioner Doherty asked why an ADA compliant ramp was being added. Attorney Zanck stated the sidewalk is in disrepair with uneven elevations and they want to make it accessible. Director Martin stated it is also in the plans to add a railing as part of the ramp which will give more curb appeal. Commissioner Doherty stated it is very much welcome to the Green Street area and nice to see this property improved. Commissioner Thacker inquired as to the liability involved with use of the parking lot after hours by the public. Attorney Zanck stated Mr. Jett will have insurance and parking is not prohibited. Vice -Chairman Thacker opened the floor to questions and comments from the audience. Attorney William Mclntee, 3436 W. Elm St., stated he is an adjoining property owner and wanted to know how many parking spaces are provided in the off-street parking lot for the property. Attorney Zanck responded 18-20 spaces. Attorney Mclntee stated he hopes there is a snow removal storage plan in place because that parking area has been used for snow removal for excess snow in the City and he wanted to know what will happen with that. Director Martin stated the Public Works Department will work something out in regard to snow removal. 1 Department of Community & Economic Development McHenry Municipal Center 333 Green Street McHenry, Illinois 60050 Phone: (815) 363-2170 Fax: (815) 363-2173 www.ci.mchenry.il.us Mr. Phil Hofstetter, owner of 1309 N. Green St., stated he was previously going to purchase this building for a direct -buy company and warehousing business but was told it needed a sprinkler system if it was over 6000 sq. ft. and he was told he would have to put in a new water line. He further stated there is no storm drain on Green St. and his property floods because the city let the bank raise their property so it now flows onto his property. He stated he has owned 1309 Green since March 2016 and had to restore the building due to problems left by the previous owner. He stated he had to bring his property up to green code and he expects Mr. Jett must do same thing. Mr. Hofstetter opined this type of business use is not good for this area and further opined Mr. Jett should step down as Mayor because it is a TIF property. Discussion of sales tax and where it goes in regard to Mr. Jett's property and the theater ensued. Mr. Hofstetter stated he has already called the state fire marshal in regard to the theater property which Mr. Jett has a stake in. Mr. Hofstetter stated he is disappointed in the City's handling of this property exchange and has had other problems in the past when trying to buy and upgrade properties. He has spoken with Lisa Madigan and he will pursue further action if this request is approved. Mr. Hofstetter does not believe zoning rules are being followed by the City and he was told it would be more than $450,000 to get building up to code when he pursued the same building for the same type of use. Vice -Chairman Thacker closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 8:12 p.m. Motion by Meyer, seconded by Doherty, to recommend to the City Council with regard to File No. Z-918, approval of an application for a Conditional Use Permit for an expanded site plan review in accordance with the downtown overlay district to allow a contractor's office, with storage on -site and two principal uses on one zoning lot and any other variances to allow the property to be developed in substantial conformance with the public hearing application submitted for the subject property located at 1306 N Green Street subject to the following conditions: • The applicant shall comply with the Downtown Design Guidelines utilizing and enhancing original building elements on the exterior as well as parking area; • In accordance with the Downtown Design Guidelines the use of box signs, exposed neon, flashing and moving signs is prohibited; • There shall be no loading/unloading on the public right-of-way; and Staff finds the application is in conformance with the purpose and intent, goals, and criteria for review in the DOD Ordinance.

DOWNTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT 1. PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose of the Downtown Overlay District (DOD) Is to preserve and protect the existing historical character of the downtown area, promote the transformation of the downtown into an even more compact pedestrian, transit_oriented mixed -use area, and promote the downtown area as an economically viable part of the City. The DOD seeks to assist in the growth of existing businesses, enhance the character of their buildings and facades, and provide guidance for those exterior alterations and encourage new infll development. The DOD also seeks to provide a mechanism to complement the development of the City's proposed McHenry Riverwalk. The primary goals of the DOD ordinance are as follows: • Enhance the economic viability of the downtown area and foster reinvestment and economic development; • Promote a pedestrian -oriented 24-hour downtown district; • Encourage, where practical, the adaptive reuse of downtown buildings and structures; • Plan for new commercial, residential and mixed -use infill developinent that is compatible to the character and function of the downtown; • Encourage the use of appropriate building materials and facades so as to enhance the character and continuity of the downtown areas; • Provide an avenue whereby downtown businesses can benefit and enhance their business froin the construction of the McHemy Riverwalk; • Continue to inaintain the historical fabric of the downtown area; • Provide a mechanism for additional signage along the McHenry Riverwalk, in the rear of the downtown businesses; • Further the goals ofthe City ofMcHenry Downtown Plan and Downtown District Design Guidelines. In order to accomplish these goals, the Cityrecognizes that new development, redevelopment, and building modifications within the boundaries of the DOD is snare likely to require relief from strict compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements. Instead of using the traditional zoning and variance processes to consider this relief, the DOD provides a mechanism, the site plan review process, for allowing flexibility froin the Zoning Ordinance requirements. Through the site plan review process, development proposals in the DOD can be reviewed on a more comprehensive level to ensure the goals and objectives of the district are inet. 2. OVERLAY I30UNDARIES The DOD boundaries are indicated on the attached map, which shall be made part oftliis Ordinance by reference. 3. APPLICABILITY The requirements of the DOD are applicable to all parcels falling within the established DOD boundaries. 149 2MY 4. 5.

With a variety of housing choices, a wide range of employment opportunities, and unpar- alleled access to recreational opportunities, McHenry is an attractive community and a pleasant place to live. A key component of McHenry is its downtown. Stretching from the Fox River, west to Crystal Lake Road, the downtown is considered the eco- nomic heart of McHenry. Recognizing its importance, City Leaders have taken steps to maintain and enhance this valuable asset by establishing a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District, adopting a Downtown Plan for redevelopment, and preparing plans for a 0.8 mile Riverwalk through the downtown. The information in this booklet is intended to supple- ment those actions by providing technical assistance for architects, builders, and home and business owners as they plan alterations to ex- isting structures and new development in the Downtown. McHenryArea Chamber of Commerce 1257 N. Green Street HlStory The traditional commercial storefront is the cornerstone of a City downtown commercial area. Dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries, these buildings create a strong visual image for the downtown. Unfortu- nately, the appearance of a building is often regarded as secondary to the daily concerns of running a busi- ness. Experience, however, shows that appearance is a factor in a successful downtown. Downtowns under- went significant changes in the 20th Century. Increased reliance on the automobile brought new competition to downtowns in the form of strip centers and shopping malls. Many downtown business owners sought to catch the attention of passing cars by installing shiny new facades and eye-catching signs. The results of these actions were mixed. Too often the very thing that held downtowns together, the visual relationship of the building facades, was destroyed. The buildings, history and setting make a downtown a unique place. It is therefore desirable to acknowledge these resources and take full advantage of them. These Design Guidelines are intended to help property own- ers, business operators, architects, designers, developers and contractors do just that. Desian Guidelines The following pages are guidelines for new construction and for enhancing the appearance of existing build- ings in the Downtown Overlay District. These standards will provide the criteria by which the City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff will evaluate development plans for consistency with the imple- mentation policies of the City's Downtown Plan and the purposes of the Downtown Overlay District. It is impor- tant to remember, however,. that design improvements alone do not develop economic vitality. Sensible busi- ness development, aggressive marketing, and permanent management of the downtown are also necessary. 4 DOWNTOWN DESIGN GUIDELINES, CITY OF IYICHENRY New ConNLL UU 11 Construction of new buildings on vacant lots in the downtown is encouraged. The design and location of such buildings, however, requires special care. Two types of new construction are discussed: Infill Development, where the new construction "fills4n" gaps in the existing street fagade, and Standard Development, where new construction is on parcels located in lesser dense areas of the downtown. This section is intended to provide architects, developers and contractors with the basic design elements applicable to new construction, includ- ing scale, proportion, form, and materials. However, other sections of the booklet that address specific items such as doors, windows, awnings, signs, etc., should also be consulted as details of the new building are final- ized. • Infill Development The design of a new infill building, especially the front fagade, is critical. The new facade must look appropri- ate in relation to surrounding buildings, without replicating them. When designing a new infill building, par- ticular attention shall be paid to the following: o SuildingDesign The design of a new infill building should be harmonious with its surroundings. Architectural style is not restricted, however, extremes of style, or attempts to recreate a style indigenous to the downtown are discouraged. Infill buildings located along the route of the proposed Riverwalk should be designed to take advantage of the Riverwalk frontage. o Building Sefbaclr A new infill building should maintain the line of existing storefronts at the sidewalk edge. Creating gaps I n the streetscape by setting the building too far back from its neighbors, or by placing off-street parking in front of a building should be avoided (See Figure 1). If, due to design or construction limitations, a new building cannot be flush with its neighbors, a maximum distance of 5 feet, in front of or behind the exist. ing setbacks of adjacent buildings, may be acceptable. tx;.. 1� Loll y ut?, ieu i •t•c� 1i t•Flis. *Of� SIDEUALK O PARKING C STREET SIDEUALK STREET This Not This Figure 1, Buflding5efbacic New Construction, coat. ♦ Building Scale and Massing, When designing a new infill building, the scale (height and width) and mass of existing buildings along the street should be respected. o The average height and width of nearby buildings can be used to determine a general set of propor- tions for an infill structure or the bays of a larger structure. The infill building should fill the entire void, or, if the site is large, the mass of the fagade can be divided into two or more smaller bays to maintain the established rhythm of the block (see Figure 2). o Buildings should meet the ground with a solid base treatment to create a visual transition from the sidewalk to the building wall. Glass treatments that extend to the ground are not recommended NEU FASADE FILLS EXISTING OPEIIING NEU FASADE DIVIDED INTO A SERIES OF BAYS ne no i�,1 I ��Q n° ° • �Q� �DL1� II I� I ° ° _ o + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Figure 2, Facade Proportions ♦ Roof Forms The type of roof used for an infill building should be similar to those found on adjacent buildings. In gen- eral, flat roofs are preferred over gable, gambrel, hip, or mansard roofs. A parapet shall be used to con- ceal a flat roof and any roof protrusions, other than the chimney. ♦ Openings Doors and windows on an infill building should be similar in size, proportion and alignment based on the architectural style of the building, and to those on adjacent facades. The rhythm of structural mass to voids (doors, windows, etc.) should related to rhythms established on adjacent buildings (see Figure 3).

A new building should not stand out from other buildings on the block. Brick and wood are preferred materials. Materials such as aluminum siding, aluminum panels, mirrors or reflective glass, corrugated fiberglass and metal are not considered appropriate. Aluminum, steel, or vinyl cased wood windows may be used, but should have an appropriate finish and color consistent with the overall color scheme. ♦ Miscellaneous o Floor Level. The floor level of an infill building should relate to and be consistent with the floor levels of adjacent structures. o Side Elevations. All sides of a building should receive design consideration. Expanses of blank wall should be softened through the use of landscape treatments such as foundation plantings or trellises. o Mechanical Equipment. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on the roof, ground or building elevation should be located so as not to be visible from any public ways, customer parking areas or neighboring residential or public uses, whenever possible. Otherwise, such equipment shall be screened from view by materials compatible with the building or with landscaping. o Utilities. Newly installed utility services and service revisions necessitated by new construction shall be underground. Standard Development The design of a new building on a vacant site in a less dense area of the downtown also requires special care to ensure that the integrity and character of the downtown are maintained. Particular attention shall be paid to: 4 Building/Site Design The same building design guidelines for Infill Development are applicable to Standard Development, Architectural style is not restricted, however, extremes of style, or attempts to recreate a style not indige- nous to the downtown are not encouraged. Surrounding areas should be viewed to develop a compati- ble and harmonious building design. The overall development should reflect the character of the site upon which it is located. Factors to consider include the size of the site, topography, maintenance of ex- isting viewsheds, mature tree stands or other vegetation, and the context of nearby structures. With all new development, the pedestrian orientation of the downtown should be considered. Provisions for safe pedestrian movement to, from and within the site should be provided. An attractive streetscape and areas for parking, with ample landscaping are encouraged. New off-street parking should not be prominent when viewed from main streets — it should occur behind, between or within structures. Park- ing areas should be screened with landscaping, and wrought iron fencing or masonry walls. The main entrance(s) to a building should face the primary street, with secondary entrances as needed from otf-street parking areas or secondary street facades. Service entrances, waste receptacles, and loading facilities should be located so as not to be visible from public streets and parking areas. Monotony of design in multiple building developments should be avoided. Variation of detail, form, and siting should be used to provide visual interest within a development. New Construction, WILL ♦ Building Sefbacic Maintaining the pedestrian orientation of the downtown is critical. A new building should be constructed as close to the street as possible, to reflect the setback of existing adjacent structures. Parking facilities should be placed behind the building. When on a corner lot, the building should be placed as close to the corner as possible (see Figure 4). Figure 4, Building SeEback o Building Scale and Massing The fagade of a new building shall be in scale and harmonious with existing buildings on the same street. o Openings Exterior openings such as doors and windows shall have balanced proportions. ♦ Building Materials Materials used in for new construction should be similar to that used on nearby buildings. Anew build- ing should not stand out from other buildings on the block. Materials of a durable quality, such as brick, stone and wood are preferred. There should be definite transitions between changes of material and plane while maintaining an overall simple geometry for the building mass. ♦ Miscellaneous o Side Elevations. All sides of a building should receive design consideration. Expanses of blank wall should be softened through the use of landscape treatments such as foundation plantings or trellises. o Mechanical Equ_pment. Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on the roof, ground or bu ing elevation should be located so as not to be visible from any public ways, customer parking areas or neighboring residential or public uses, whenever possible. Otherwise, such equipment shall be screened from view by materials compatible with the building or with landscaping. o Utilities. Newly installed utility services and service revisions necessitated by new construction shall be underground. Facade Renovations The building facades on a street provide the visual image of the downtown. Because they are coI posed of similar parts, their appearance should be organized and coordinated. Over the years, hoi ever, maintaining this appearance has been a ci lenge. Due to technological developments, chang- ing tenants, and different merchandising trends, a storefront will go through multiple design changes over time. And the upper fagade, often viewed as less important, will be ignored or even covered over. Because building appearance is an essential ingredient of a successful downtown, owners are encouraged to restore and maintain their building facades in their original, intended manner. The fagade of the typical downtown building is made up of three paritsio the storefront with entrance and display windows, the upper fagade, and the cornice that caps the building. Within these three parts are the details that give a fagade its character, including the bulkheads, transom, storefront cil nice, windows, and window hoods (See Figure 5).

Il +� •!:' DisplayWindow Figure 5, Typical Facade When planning a fagade renovations, consult the following guidelines, as well as the guidelines relating to spe- cific elements found later in this booklet: ♦ Original features, historic elements, and examples of craftsmanship shall be retained wherever possible. The removal of distinguishing features or significant architectural details should be avoided. Previously made changes that have achieved architectural or design significance should be retained. ♦ Changes that have no historical basis or seek to create an earlier appearance should be avoided. o Deteriorated features should be repaired instead of replaced. If replacement is necessary, the new ma- terial should match the original as closely as possible. This shall be determined by physical or pictorial evidence, rather than on speculation or the availability of architectural elements from nearby buildings. o Whenever possible, materials that have been applied to cover over older, traditional fagade elements should be removed to expose windows and other architectural details. ♦ Shutters, if utilized, shall be sized to appear as though they could work. However, shutters were seldom used on 19th and 20th century buildings. ♦ Storm windows should reflect the appearance and detail of the inner window as closely as possible. ♦ Sandblasting, high pressure water, and other abrasive cleaning methods should not be used because they damage the structure. Masonry repair such as tuck pointing should use an approved mortar mix and method. Silicone waterproof coating is not an appropriate treatment. ♦ Signage should fit into the cornice area above storefront transoms. Darker background colors with lighter lettering are recommended, however, strong contrasting colors such as white lettering on a black background, are discouraged. Lettering styles should be simple, not ornate and difficult to read. ♦ Awnings should be of a proportion and color to compliment the existing colors of the building. ♦ Accessibility modifications should be made at side or rear entrances to maintain fagade integrity. Rear Entrances An often over -looked element of a downtown building is its rear entrance. This space is usually thought of and used as a service area, and thus has been poorly maintained and unattractive. With the addition of public parking areas behind stores and the potential Riverwalk, however, the backs of buildings will receive more exposure. A clean, well -maintained rear entrance can be an asset to a downtown building. It can provide di- rect customer access from rear parking areas and improve circulation between the street and rear parking ar- eas. If properly planned and maintained, a rear entrance will welcome customers, not threaten them. When considering a rear entrance to your store, you should first ask, would walk -though traffic help or hinder my business? Would it be an added convenience to my customers? If the answer is yes, there are several fac- tors you'll need to consider when planning any changes. 0 0 0 The rear entry should not compete with the storefront in terms of importance. Remember the rear en- trance is the secondary means of access and should be have a more functional appearance. However, be sure to follow the conventions you've established on the street fagade side of your building. If you have an already identifiable image, carry it through on the rear fagade. Consider the neighboring buildings and try to make your rear entrance compatible. You may want to consult neighboring property owners to plan a coordinated approach to rear enhancements. The design of the rear door should reflect its change in function. Since it will no longer function as only a service door, it should provide a welcom- ing, inviting appearance. The addition of glass windows on rear fagade pro- vides additional merchandise display areas for cus- tomers and passers-by. o On the interior, display and storage areas may need to be rearranged in order to accommodate the change in pedestrian circulation through the store. o A small sign near the rear door should be included to identify the business. o An awning can be added for visual identification and customer convenience. ♦ A wall mounted light fixture. near the door can pro- vide adequate exterior lighting. o Consider adding landscaping at the rear of the building, if possible. Planter boxes with flowers, or potted evergreen or shrubs can add color and bet- ter define the rear entrance. Be sure to maintain these properly. ♦ Don't forget that service functions such as trash col- lection, loading/unloading, shipping and storage must be accommodated. Figure 6, Enhanced Rear Facade o If possible, work with nearby businesses to provide a single, central location for trash collection. Screening dumpsters with a fence or similar structure can help to prevent clutter. o Remember to clear snow from rear entrances. Figure 6 illustrates some of the above -mentioned enhancements that can be made to a rear fagade. Page 11 DOWNTOWN DESIGN GUIDELINES, CITY OF NCHENHY 'W11MUM Windows play an important visual role in the downtown. Display windows provide merchants with an area to display their wares. The upper story windows establish the pattern that helps to tie together the facades of a block. Transom windows provide light and ventilation to the inside of the building. Window style and decora- tion has changed through the years (see Figure 7). However, proper care and maintenance of all storefront windows remain keys to an attractive building.

An attractive, well -planned display can be the difference between someone merely walking by or actually coming in to shop. After setting up your window display, be sure to view the display from outside, to gain the same perspective as customers and passers-by. Also, be careful with all window signage. While a display window can provide space for an attractive painted sign, you should not cover excessive amounts of any window with signage. o Upper Story Windows. Upper story windows are often neglected, inappropriately replaced, or even boarded up. Not only does this impact the appearance of building, it can change the character of a block. If your building has upper story windows, be sure to set up a regular maintenance schedule. This will help prevent further deterioration. o Transom Windows. Transom windows, located at the top of the storefront opening, are a source of natu- ral light and ventilation. For energy conservation, these windows were often covered or removed. Covering or painting over transom windows upsets the design relationship of the fagade and destroys the rhythm of repeating patterns on the street. Uncovering and restoring transom windows is encouraged. Page 12 Windows, cont, Window Repair. The most common window problems involve damaged or deteriorated wood, faulty window operation, and broken glass panes (see Figure 8). Many problems can be easily repaired a minimal cost. Figure 8, Window Components Window Replacement. Sometimes re- pairs may be impractical and the only option available is replacement. If you're replacing only one window, find a replacement that matches the existing units. If you cannot find a suitable re- placement, consider having one custom made. Wood is the preferred choice, however if you must use aluminum or vinyl, a darker color is preferred. Do not alter the existing window opening to fit the new windows and do not install win- dows that are not in keeping with the style of your building (see Figure 9). Deteriorated wood is often found on the sill or bottom of the sash. These parts can be replaced without replacing the whole window. Local building supply stores may have pieces that match the original window. Minor repairs can be made by scraping off old paint, filling cracks with putty or caulk, sanding, priming and applying a fresh coat of paint. A window that isn't operating like it used to should be ad- dressed. It could be that the window is painted shut. This can be corrected by tapping the sash with a hammer wrapped in cloth. Another problem could be with the win- dow mechanism (sash locks, cords, weights). If this is the case, contact a window dealer who can offer assistance without changing the window. Broken glass panes can be easily fixed by removing all old glass and glazing putty, and installing a new pane using the appropriate glazier's points and putty. Be sure to check all joints between a window and its ma- sonry opening. If loose or open joints exist, caulk to pre. vent air and water infiltration. Origi Wind Figure 9, Window Replacements J Inappropriate R)placements Storm Windows, Installing storm windows is a great way to cut down on your energy costs. The downside is that they often look inappropriate on an older building facade. Tf possible, consider installing storm windows on the inside so they will not be seen. If they must be installed on the outside, make sure they are the same shape and have the same overall design features as other outside windows. An anodized or baked -on finish is more desirable than plain aluminum. DOWNTOWN DESIGN GUIDELINES, CITY OF IIICHENI Doors Traditionally, downtown buildings had three doors. On the building front, there was a storefront door, providing access to the business, and a secondary door, pro- viding access to the upper floors (see Fig- ure 10). The rear door was primarily used as a service door. ♦ Storefront Door. Historically, the entry to a store was more than just a door. The design and appearance reflected its commercial impor- tance. The traditional storefront door was substantial, built of wood with a large glass panel. Despite its stately proportion, the door was inviting to a customer. Although traditional storefront doors are rarely found these days, there are several things that can be done to make a front door the special, invit- ing element is should be. Figure 1 D, Front Doors Page 13 o A front door should be compatible with the rest of the storefront and make a significant statement. o To retain a traditional appearance, a wood door with a tall glass panel is most appropriate to main- tain the original character. Try and locate a salvaged older door to repair or use a new door of similar design. o If a traditional appearance is not desired, the design choice should be based on the overall design of the storefront. Many different wood and metal styles are available. If a glass and aluminum door is chosen, consider using a dark, anodized finish rather than a metallic color. o Avoid over -decorating the door. The design should reinforce the character of the building and be inviting for shoppers. ♦ Secondary Door. A secondary door on the front fagade provides access to the upper floors and is usually less elaborate in design. When choosing a secondary door, keep in mind that it should be visually un- derstated, fitting in with the overall fagade, but not drawing attention to itself. To maintain a traditional appearance, an old wood panel door is most appropriate. ♦ Rear Doors. A practical style is recommended for a rear door to reflect the unadorned character of the rear fagade. If the back door will be used as a customer entrance, consider the addition of glass to the door to make it more inviting to shoppers and passers-by. Amore substantial rear door and entrance is appropriate for businesses along the proposed Riverwalk. It should be substantial enough to attract cus- tomers without overwhelming the rear fagade. Refer also to the Rear Entrances section of these guide- lines Awnings Awnings can be both a decorative and functional addi- tion to a storefront. Visually, an awing can add character and interest to a storefront. Practically, an awning pro- vides a sheltered space for customers to view store win- dow displays, and can provide energy saving benefits, especially when used on southern facing windows. When planning an awning for your building, the follow- ing should be considered: ♦ Design. The design of an awning determines how energy efficient it will be. There are two types of awnings available, operable, and fixed. An oper- able awning can be opened and closed, allowing sun to shine in on cold days, and providing shade on warm sunny days. A fixed awning is primarily decorative. ;7 G Style. Awnings should be integrated into the de- sign of the building fapade, with a simple pitch, and profile that matches the buildings bay struc- Figure 11, RwningStyle ture. Awnings along a street should have a consis- tent pattern in size and shape, and not conflict with others. Look at your neighbors' buildings and visualize how adding an awning will affect the character of the streetscape (See Figure 11). Materials. Awnings can be constructed from several different materials, including canvas, vinyl, and aluminum. Whichever material is chosen, make sure it is guaranteed weather -resistant. Fading or bleaching from the sun is also an important consideration. o Canvas. Canvas awnings are traditionally popular, but must be weather -treated before installation. Canvas has a lower initial cost, but may require more maintenance than plastic or aluminum o Vinyl (Plastic). Vinyl has a more contemporary effect, but can be attractive if done correctly. Vinyl is more flexible and usually requires less maintenance than fabric. o Aluminum. Aluminum is another choice but is more residential in character and not appropriate in the downtown area. ♦ Mounting, Awnings should be mounted so that the valence is approximately T feet above the sidewalk, A 12-inch valence flap is usually attached at the awning bar and can serve as a sign panel. Typically, an awning will project between 4 and T feet from the building. An awning can be attached above the dis- play windows and below the sign panel or cornice. It can also be mounted between the transom and the display windows, which allows light into the store while shading the merchandise and customers. An awning over upper story windows should not cover the piers or the space between the window sills and the storefront cornice. ♦ Color. Look at the entire building before deciding on a color for your awning. You'll want a color that enhances the existing features without overwhelming them. For buildings with more detail, a subtle shade should be used. For buildings with minimal architectural detang, a bright accent color may en- hance the fagade. Pattern is important, too, depending on the image you would like to project. ♦ Signs. The valence of an awning has traditionally used for advertising. If you chose to incorporate a sign on an awning, keep the message simple and for identification purposes only. o Illumination. Internally illuminated or backlit awnings are not recommended. Page 15 DOWNTOWN DESIGN GUIDELINES, CITY OF MCHENHY MM� Color and Paint Color Choosing the right color combination for a building can unify the elements of the facade and relate the build- ing to others on the block. Again, step outside and look at your building as it relates to others. Make sure the colors you use are in character with the rest of the buildings on the block. Generally, no more than 3 colors are sufficient for a building facade. Paint manufacturers have a large selection of historic colors available and can assist with an appropriate color scheme. Stay away from bold colors that attract undo attention to a property. o Background. Muted or natural tones are appropriate for the Background of the building, The Back- ground consists of the upper wall and the piers on either side of the storefront. This color is often natural brick and requires no painting. In fact, painting of brick surfaces is strongly discouraged. a Major Trim. The color of Major Trim elements, such as cornices, window frames, sills and hoods, and the storefront frame, bulkhead and columns should complement the background color. a Secondary Trim. Secondary Trim, such as the window sashes, doors, and certain cornice and bulkhead details, should enhance the color scheme established by the Background and Major Trim. A darker shade of the Major Trim is often used to highlight these features. Caution should be exercised to ensure that the facade is not over -decorated.

In the mid-1800's, soft, neutral tints were common. To- ward the end of the 19th century, darker, richer shades were used. Tastes changed again at the beginning of tLie 1900's to lighter, calmer colors. If you are thinking about returning your building to its original colors, carefully scrape the paint from a small area. There may be several layers of paint over the original color. Its possible that the original color may have changed over time. For a better idea of the true color, wet the origi- nal surface. The base color will appear more accurately when wet. The sun will play an important role in the colors you select. Before deciding on a color, fake a paint chip out- side to see how it looks. Do this at various times of the day, and also on both sunny and cloudy days. Some- times asmall paint chip is not enough to get a good idea of how a color will look. In that case, invest in a quart of the color you choose and apply it to a small area on your building. The effect may be surprising. Color and Paint, Cont. Paint Painting your building can provide a dramatic improvement in your building's appearance for a relatively low cost. After deciding on the appropriate colors, however, your work has just begun. There are several steps you should follow to ensure your new paint job will be long lasting and successful. ♦ Type of Paint. Should you use oil based or latex? Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Oil based paints are generally more durable, and may provide better adherence. Clean up is more difficult. Latex paints are easier to apply and clean up is simple. However, latex paint can be less durable than oil based. Whichever you choose, select a quality paint. Although you'll pay more, a quality paint will last longer than a cheaper paint, will not fade or peel as quickly, and gives better coverage. Different materials, stone, brick, wood, block and metal, require different paints and primers, Consult a local paint dealer for assistance in selecting the right type of paint. Paint is available in different finishes, including gloss, semi - gloss and flat. It is important to note that once you use a certain type of paint for your building, you should continue to use the same type paint. Switching back and forth between oil and latex is difficult. o General Preparation. There are many things you can do to prep your building for painting. Check the condition of any wood and replace any boards that are rotted. If you are painting a masonry building, check the condition of the mortar and tuck -point where necessary. Review the condition of your windows. Install new glass in all broken windows. Replace damaged putty with a glaz- ing compound and make sure it goes all around the windows. You'll need to wait 2-3 days for the compound to dry before you can paint. o Surface Preparation. Prior to painting, all surfaces should be ade- quately prepared. All loose or peeling paint must be removed. Wire brushes and scrapers are the best tools to use (see Figure 13). If these do not work, consider a blow torch or electric heat gun. Use caution with these last two devices, with only enough heat to soften the paint so it can be easily pushed away. Consider using a primer for the first coat, especially on older buildings. It will help the final coat adhere better. Figure 13, Surface Preparation o Scheduling. Certain times of the year are better than others for painting. If the weather is favorable, your paint job will go better. Page 17 Signs are a vital part of any downtown. They call attention to your business and help attract shoppers to your store. More importantly, signs help shape the image of the downtown. Flashy, bright colored signs are no doubt attention -getters, but are they appropriate for your business? Or for the downtown? When selecting a new sign for your business, ask the following questions: F7 G What is the Purpose of My Sign? Do you merely want to identify the name of your business? Or should you provide information on the products you sell or services you offer? Who are you trying to attract? Take some time to consider what you want your sign to do. What Type of Message Should I Use? Can you convey your message with words? Or will a logo or sym- bol be more recognizable to potential customers? Possibly, a combination of words and symbols is appro- priate. What Style Sign Should I Use? For most downtown businesses, wall, window or canopy signs are the only types of signs that can be used. For new development or redeveloped sites, a freestanding sign is a possi- bility . If you can use a freestanding sign, consider a monument style sign to maintain the pedestrian scale of the downtown. Taller pole signs are inappropriate and should be avoided. What Materials Should I Use? There are many types of materials that can be used for a sign. Wood, plas- tic, metal, canvas, stone, brick, paint on glass, and etched or stained glass are some of the materials avail- able. Each have unique qualities that can effectively get across you message and enhance your building fagade. Where Should I Put My Sign? When consider- ing sign placement, you need to visualize how your sign will appear in relation to the entire fagade. A sign should not dominate the fagade; its shape and proportions should fit the building just as a door or window fits. The most common location for a wall sign is just below the lower cornice. This location compliments the archi- tecture of the building and presents a strong image. Other common locations include on the glass display window and on the awning flap (see Figure 14). A good resource to consult is a picture of how your building looked in the past. This may give you ideas about how signs were related to the details of your building. Signs should never project above the cornice line or be mounted on the roof of a building. Never cover up architectural details. Figure 14, Sign Placement If you have a rear entrance, a small wall or window sign can help identify your business to customers using rear parking areas. For rear entrances on businesses with frontage on the proposed luverwalk, a larger sign may be appropriate. If identifying an upper floor business, a small, subdued building mounted plaque sign next to the entrance is appropriate. A freestanding sign should be located near the entrance to the site. Be careful not to block the view for ve- hicles or pedestrians exiting the site. ♦ Should I Illumiieate My Sign? Illuminating a sign may be desirable. Individual back -lit letters and signs illuminated by wall -mounted fixtures are appropriate. Illuminated box signs, exposed neon, flashing signsI moving signs and electronic or fixed letter reader boards are not recommended. rt Signs, Cont. The design of your sign requires significant fore- thought. The color, message, and type of letter- ing you choose play an important role in express- ing the image and personality of your business. As a basic rule of thumb, simple is better than complex when it comes to sign design. 1 r , before o Think about how much your sign will say. Too many words can be hard to absorb, especially in the down- town environment filled with visual images. Keep your message simple and to the point. o When choosing colors, look at the colors of your building and use them as a guide. A simple color scheme, with no more than three colors, is recommended. Natural, muted tones are better than bold, flashy colors. Adequate visual contrast between the background and wording is recommended. o The type of lettering on your sign can help to express the personality of your business. There are three common styles of lettering, all with numerous variations. Serif face is a historically appropriate style, with variations ranging from simple to fancy. Sans serif lettering provides a more contemporary look, with cleaner, bolder lines. Script lettering is more decorative and provides a more personal style. To better visualize the various styles, look at other signs in the City. Think about how each style expresses the busi- ness or product it advertises. And then, think about the image you would like your sign to project. o Who you chose to fabricate your sign is an important decision. Simple, well made signs are far more ap- pealing than an elaborately decorated sign that has a sloppy appearance. Select a sign maker only after you've viewed samples of their work. ♦ Where existing, illuminated box signs can remain. However, all electrical conduit and boxes should be concealed from view, and the box should be maintained as needed to be unobtrusive, coordinating with the surrounding wall color. Don't overloolr the fact that your buildingpresents an image that acts as a sign+ Even the best loolrinq, most well made signs will go unnoticed if your building's appearance is lacking. LI'l Figure 15, Sign Examples Page 19 )WN DESIGN GUIDELINES, CITY OF RICHENRY Fencing Fencing will have limited uses in the downtown. Typically, fences are used for one or more of the following purposes: screening, enclosure, separation and decoration (see Figure 16). s Screening. For example, a fence can be used to block the views of a trash dumpster, or it can be used to block the views of vehicles in a parking lot from an adjacent single-family home. When screening dump- sters or utility boxes, be sure to check with the waste hauler or utility company to make sure they will have access to facilities. Don't provide more screening than necessary. For example, if a dumpster is five (5) feet in height, use no more that a six (6) foot high fence. Also, consider working with your neighbors. One larger trash enclosure is more desirable that several smaller, scattered sites. Wood is an acceptable mate- rial for screening purposes and should be solid and either painted or stained. Masonry walls are preferred for this purpose when nearby buildings are masonry. o Enclosure. A fence can provide privacy by enclosing a yard or other private space. Use caution when con- sidering a fence for enclosure purposes. Enclosing an entire yard with solid wood fencing is not consid- ered appropriate in the downtown. If enclosure is absolutely necessary, consider a picket, aluminum or wrought iron fence or a combination masonry wall and fencing. s , 1�± i i Figure I ti, Fencing s Separation. A fence can separate an outdoor eating area from the public sidewalk, or it can separate ve- hicular areas from pedestrian areas. Low wrought iron fencing and/or masonry walls, in conjunction with landscaping are appropriate. o Decoration. Fencing is often used with landscaping and/or hardscape materials to provide a decorative look to a building site. When considering a fence for your downtown property, first determine what purpose the fence will serve and then, select the appropriate material. Chain link fencing is not considered appropriate in the downtown . Lighting Lighting is an important element when considering visibility in the evening hours. Generally, street lighting installed by the City will provide adequate lighting of the overall building and sidewalk. However, there are times when you may want to provide additional illumination to your site. Lighting should only be used to illuminate entries, signage, displays, adjacent pedes- trian and parking areas, or to highlight sig- nificant architectural elements (see Figure 17). Use fixtures with a traditional style, or contemporary fixtures that are appropriately scaled . Ground mounted fixtures should be used to illuminate freestanding signs, land- scaping, walkways, parking areas and archi- tectural features. Building mounted fixtures should be used to illuminate entries, wall mounted signs, and walkways adjacent to buildings. Building mounted fixtures should be coordinated in appearance with any free- standing light fixtures. Most manufacturers have coordinating styles and can assist in se- lecting the right fixtures for your building. Fixture colors should be muted and coordi- nate with the overall color scheme of the building. Exposed or painted metal finishes are recommended. To attract attention to your storefront area, there are some traditional methods of lighting you can use. 1"igure 17, Exterior Llghtlrtq Examples ♦ Well -lit display windows attract attention to items in your window. e Residual light washes the sidewalk and attracts pedestrians. o Light over recessed entry doors can highlight your entrance. e Lighted signs in the window (neon is acceptable) can highlight products and services. Bollard lighting is an appropriate choice to illuminate walkways. The lower height is in keeping with the pe- destrian scale of the downtown. Another alternative for walkways adjacent to a building is the use of wall mounted fixtures. Parking lot lighting should complement the site by maintaining a similar look to building lighting. Generally the height of parking lot lighting should not exceed 18 feet. Lighting used to highlight ar- chitectural features should be ground mounted and concealed where possible to prevent vandalism. Always use the minimum wattage necessary to meet the purpose of the lighting. Glare and light spread onto adjoining residential properties are prohibited. i DOWNTOWN DESIGN GUIDELIN i Landscaping 'City of McHenry Page 21 The addition of landscaping can help to soften areas in the downtown by adding color and life to an otherwise hard and noisy area. When properly located and maintained, landscape elements can enhance the appear- ance of a site , supply a place of refuge for the public, and provide energy saving benefits. Landscaping con- sists of plant material, such as trees, shrubs and flowers, and hardscape items, such as masonry walls, textured concrete, paver bricks, flagstone, limestone, wood, steel, copper and cast or wrought iron. Although it can be a challenge to find adequate area on your site to incorporate landscaping, there are several options available to consider: 7 Planters/Boxes. Decorative planters and window boxes can highlight and add color to a storefront or rear entrance. The use of flowering annuals or evergreen shrubs is recommended. Planters should be con- structed out of materials consistent with the architectural style of the building. If your planters will be adja- cent to public areas, be sure to keep the style consistent with the style of other public amenities. Do not let planters infringe upon pedestrian access to sidewalks and pathways. Artificial plants are not recom- mended, except for seasonal displays. Foundation Plantings. Adding landscaping along the foun- dation of the building is encouraged. Low growing shrubs, perennials, annuals and groundcover are recommended (sees` Figure 18). Avoid large expanses of mulch Wall Expanses. Large expanses of blank wall can be bro- ken up with foundation plantings, as earlier described, inter- mediate sized deciduous trees, and man-made elements such _ as trellises (see Figure 18).

Decorative elements such as benches, fountains, statuary, brick pavers, stone walls and walkways should be tastefully done and not overdone (see Figure 20). If adja- cent to public areas, keep the style consistent with other public amenities. Appropriate materi- als to consider include, brick, cast or wrought iron, copper, patterned or textured concrete, natural stone or rock, decorative landscape block, steel (anodized, painted or powder coated), and wood. Inappropriate materials are concrete block, galvanized metal, plastic statu- ary, railroad ties, exposed or unpainted steel, and tires or other rubber material. Figure ZO, Decorative Elements Maintenance Regular maintenance is the most efficient and economical way to keep your building looking its best. As a general rule, you should treat any historic detail with care. First and foremost, maintain what you have. If nec- essary, repair or replace the detail, duplicating or complementing the original. The following tips will assist you in identifying and addressing potential problems. Masonry Masonry includes both brick and stone. It can be found on buildings of almost any date. Extreme care i Ms re- quired for any masonry repair to prevent an obvious and unsightly patch. ♦ Moisture. Brick and stone are durable but they can deteriorate over time (see Figure 21). Most often, wa- ter infiltration is responsible. Moisture can enter through the top of a wall or where the wall meets the roof. Check your roof, flashing, and wall copings periodically for soundness. Gutters and downspouts should also be inspected periodically for leakage. Figure 21, Masonry Damage ♦ Tucicpointing. The mortar used in older masonry buildings gradually erodes as water runs over the wall surface and with freeze/thaw cy- cles. Joints should be inspected periodically for crumbling or missing mortar. If mortar joints have recessed more than 2", they should be repointed with new mortar to prevent water infiltration and ensure the integrity of the wall. New mortar joints should match the original in style, size, composition, and color. It is especially important to repoint with a mortar of the same hardness as the original. The softer historic mortar compresses as the bricks expand in warm weather and flexes as they contract in cold weather. It is by design, the sacrificial element of the wall and gradual erosion is to be expected. Harder modern mortars with a high content of Portland cement will resist the warm weather expansion of the brick, which can cause cracks in the brick surface. In the cold weather, this same inflexibility may cause cracks to open up as the historic bricks contract. ♦ Cleaning. Masonry cleaning can have a huge impact on the appearance of a building. Most historic ma- sonry buildings have never been cleaned and accumulated dirt can obscure the original masonry color. Masonry should always be cleaned by the gentlest possible method. In many cases low pressure water washing (no more than 250 psi), together with scrubbing with a natural bristle brush may be sufficient. If paint or heavy grime must be removed, a chemical cleaner may be required. There are a variety of chemical cleaners available and a qualified cleaning contractor should be consulted to evaluate your building and recommend a treatment. Whatever treatment is selected, a test patch should first be tried and allowed to weather for a few weeks or months. If the results of the test are satisfactory and no damage is observed, it should be safe to proceed. Remember to protect nearby trees, shrubs, and groundcover when cleaning your building. Chemical cleaners may be hazardous to vegetation. ♦ Sandblasting. Sandblasting is especially harmful to brick surfaces, eroding the hard outer layer to expose a softer, more porous surface that will weather rapidly. You should be aware that sandblasting will disqual- ify a project from consideration when applying for federal tax credits. ♦ Painting. Exposed masonry should never be painted. A previously painted surface can be restored by a chemical paint remover. Only if chemical paint removal proves impractical should previously painted brick or stone be repainted. Page 23 Maintenance, Cont. Wood Storefronts, cornices brackets and other decorative fagade elements were often made of wood (see Figure 22). These original exterior woodwork elements should be retained wherever possible. Regular maintenance will prevent dete- rioration. Check periodically for soft, rotted areas, splits, and dampness. Dam- age or decayed sections can usually be repaired by renailing, caulking, and fill- ing. Epoxy pastes and epoxy consolidants can also be very effective in repair- ing even seriously rotted wood. When painting, use an oil -based primer fol- lowed by two coats of oil -based paints. Severely rotted or missing pieces may be reproduced by a good carpenter or millwork shop. Try to match or at least complement the existing details when replacing woodwork. Figure 22, Wood Metal Metal decorative elements (see Figure 23) were often applied to brick and stone facades. Cast iron was used extensively for storefront columns and window lintels. Stamped or pressed metal was most often used to create decorative metal cornices. This kind of architectural ornamentation became quite popular because intricate detail could be reproduced at a reasonable cost. The signs of metal deterioration are obvious: corrosion, tears, holes and missing pieces. Pressed or stamped metal may be of copper, which re- quires no surface protection, or of sheetiron, usually coated with zinc or lead to retard rusting. A proper coat of paint is essential to prevent rust and corrosion on such metals. Missing parts can be reproduced in fiberglass or aluminum using existing pieces to make a mold. Be sure to communicate to the person fabricating the replacement part the importance of maintaining the intricate decoration of such pieces. Decorative Glass Beveled, stained, leaded and etched glass are all forms of decorative glass. Glass decoration is often covered up. Look for it in transoms or behind ply- wood window covers (see Figure 21). Sagging means that the glass and frame will need to be reinforced with a brace. Leaded or stained glass can have problems. The metal between the glass pieces, called the "came," could be either zinc or lead. Always use the same metal when making re- pairs.

If the work is rather simple, you may choose to do it yourself. For the more complicated tasks, it's best to hire a professional. There are many reputable contractors who can complete the job on time and within budget. Unfortunately, there are others out to make a fast buck, resulting in poor quality, or unfinished work. The following tips will help in selecting a reputable contractor: ♦ Get more than one estimate and get them in writing. ♦ Ask the contractor for references and addresses for similar work. Drive by those sites and if possible, con- tact the property owner to discuss their experience with the contractor. ♦ Inspect the contract carefully to make sure it includes the contractor's full name, address and phone num- ber, a description of the work to be performed, starting and completion dates, total costs of work to be per- formed, and a schedule for the down payment, subsequent payments, and final payment. ♦ Never sign a contract with blank spaces or one you do not fully understand. If you are taking out a loan to finance the project, do not sign the contract until your lender approves your loan. ♦ Find out if the contractor has a warranty or guarantee on his or her work. ♦ Make sure the contractor has minimum amounts of insurance for property damage, bodily injury, and im- proper repair. o Get lien waivers. This protects you from claims against you or your property in the event you contractor fails to pay his or her suppliers or sub -contractors. ♦ Don't make final payment until you are satisfied and all subcontractors are paid.

Proposed Uses: NaIT ive Description File No. Z-918 130G N. Green St., McHenry, IL The Applicant seeks to open his contractor's office at this location along with lis Sideline Marketing Business which will result in two uses atone location. Therefore the Applicant seeks approval for: a. Two uses at tlis location and b. Approval of each use in a C4 Downtown Overlay District. fii suppoxt of this request the Applicant states as follows: 2. Existuig Site Conditions and Proposed Site Modifications: Signage will be consistent with Downtown Design Guidelines, which are attached to Overlay District. Lot will be lit, wall fixed, property cleaned -up, maintained, landscaped, and lot rest riped. In light of visibiliiy issues building is not conducive to retail; will be occupied; vans and traffic are limited; use consistent with Criteria in Downtotivzt Overlay District. Sideline marketing will draw storage traffic. Site is destination oriented; adds more employees and business to Downtown. New use will place people right in noddle of downtown, wlich helps other businesses. Property is within �xralkiiig distance of shops, xestaurants, etc. It provides a new business and service to 1blcHeztry. Building is difficult to fill due to size and lunited in uses due to sprinkling requirements. Most employees will take work vehicles home and there will be no loaduig/unloading on Green Street. Property has been an eyesore, vacant, in receivership and in disrepair for more than a year. Former use was Fox Valley Sash and Door, again, not your typical Downtown business. Building has on -site parking and is along City parade routes, downtown events therefore filling it is a major priority. Retaining wall, which is a safety hazard, and although not property owner's responsibility will be fixed by a cooperative neighbor. Applicant Urges your support of this Petition.
