REQUEST FOR SIGN VARIANCE—ANTHONY AND MICHELLE BUCKUN, 1309 N GREEN STREET
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated a request was submitted by Anthony and
Michelle Buckun for a sign variance to allow an off-premise sign at the property they own at
1309 N. Green Street. On July 16, 2012, the applicants were granted a three-year temporary
use variance to allow a single-family residential use for the property located at 1309 N. Green
Street and a condition of approval was to seek a sign variance from the City Council to allow the
off-premise sign to remain on the property. The applicants presently are renting the property
to a family with two children.
The permit for the existing freestanding sign was issued in July 2007 at which time the
sign complied with the City's sign ordinance, as there was a commercial business existing on the
ground floor of the subject property. The applicants have since relocated their business outside
of McHenry and the existing sign is thus classified as an off-site sign. The city's sign ordinance
prohibits off-site advertising. The applicants are requesting a three-year sign variance to allow
the freestanding sign, after which they will relocate their business to 1309 N. Green Street.
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated staff does not support this request for several
reasons. Economic hardship cannot be considered as justification when seeking relief from the
sign ordinance. Additionally, staff believes a sign variance would give the property owner an
unfair advantage over other businesses which goes directly against the criterion used in
evaluating a sign variance request.
Anthony Buckun stated the sign has been beneficial to him in getting business. He and
his wife own the property and plan on returning to the site in a few years when business
improves. Mr. Buckun stated he spoke with many attorneys in McHenry and none of them
indicated he would have an unfair advantage if allowed to leave the sign in place. He also
stated he continually refers his clients to other businesses in McHenry.
Alderman Peterson inquired if the sign must be taken down if the variance is not
approved. Deputy City Administrator Martin replied yes. Alderman Condon stated she
appreciates that Mr. Buckun sought the opinion of other attorneys in the area but an unfair
advantage would be given to Mr. Buckun over all other businesses in McHenry if the sign were
allowed, not just over other attorneys. Alderman Glab stated there is an ordinance in place and
he is not convinced a precedent should be set in this case. Alderman Schaefer asked if the
current sign ordinance allows signage for a home-based business. He does not support signs on
Regular Meeting

a property without the business being located there. Deputy City Administrator Martin stated
L-- the new sign ordinance does allow a 1 sq. ft. sign for a home business only if it is required by
state law for the particular business that is being operated out of a home.
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Condon, to approve a request for a sign variance by
Anthony and Michelle Buckun at the property located at 1309 N. Green Street, as presented.

Voting Nay: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.

Motion denied.
ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW OUTSIDE STORAGE IN
CONJUNCTION WITH A CONTRACTOR'S OFFICE-DAVID SNELTEN,4172 BULL VALLEY ROAD
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated the applicant is requesting to operate a
contractor's office and a conditional use permit for outside storage of heavy equipment,
materials and supplies. The property was formerly owned by Cornerstone Material Recovery
and is set back from Bull Valley Road over 700 feet. Mr. Snelten's business includes trucking,
excavation of properties and snow removal. Vehicles move to and from the property with the
changing seasons and excavation equipment and trucks, for the most part, remain on job sites
during warm weather months. In the winter the applicant's business includes snow removal
`-' and the trucks and other equipment are transferred to winter job sites. The applicant is
requesting permission to store construction supplies outside within locked containers.
The Planning and Zoning commission reviewed the request at the September 20, 2012
meeting and unanimously recommended approval (6-0) with the following conditions:
1. All construction materials stored outside be kept in bins and/or locked containers;
2. The property shall be cleared of all debris, including any inoperable vehicles,trailers, etc;
3. The property keeps a neat and orderly appearance;
4. A ten-foot wide strip of right-of-way, measured from the existing Bull Valley right-of-way north
along the fifteen-foot wide driveway, is conveyed via a Plat of Dedication to the City of McHenry
for future roadway improvements (referenced in the Bull Valley Road/River Road/Chapel Hill
Road Corridor Study completed by Smith Engineering Consultants with a latest revision date of
2/14/07).
Alderman Santi asked if there is a time element on the conditional use permit and
whether it is attached to the owner or to the property. Deputy City Administrator Martin
stated there is no time element and the conditional use goes with the property, not the owner.
Alderman Glab asked about the maintenance of the property. Deputy City Administrator
Martin stated the property will be maintained in accordance with the requirements for
commercial properties as stated in City ordinance. Alderman Glab stated he would like "use" to
`, be researched to apply to a particular applicant rather than to the property.

TRAILER REPAIR AND OUTSIDE STORAGE OF VEHICLES AND TRAILERS-MARK ANNUNZIATA,
1302 BORDEN STREET
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated a survey was done of the area around the
North Drive/Borden area and this request is the result of that survey. Mr. Annunziata has been
running a truck and trailer repair business on the property for a couple years and he was
informed he needed to obtain a conditional use permit for his business. Mr. Annunziata has
complied with everything he has been asked to do. Property maintenance issues need to be
addressed including removal of debris, trimming/removal of weeds and overgrown vegetation
and painting/removing rust from the exterior of the building. Mr. Annunziata is also required to
connect to city water and sewer.
The Planning and Zoning commission reviewed the request at the September 20, 2012
meeting and unanimously recommended approval (6-0) with the following conditions:

trimmed and continually maintained (immediately);

REQUEST TO AMEND THE CITY OF MCHENRY FY12/13 BUDGET TO INCLUDE A TRANSFER OF
$580,000 FROM THE GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUND
BUDGET LINE ITEM 8100 LAND ACQUISITIONS FOR COSTS RELATED TO THE ACQUISITION OF
THE DOBYN'S HOUSE PROPERTY AND INITIAL SITE RESTORATION WORK
City Administrator Morefield summarized the importance of the Dobyn's House
property site, located on the southwest side of Riverside Drive, contiguous to Boone Creek, to
the Riverwalk and the downtown area. He stated there are six parcels over all. In discussions
with the owner, Mr. Allen Miller, regarding property maintenance issues, Mr. Miller inquired if
the City would be interested in purchasing the property from him. Mr. Miller was asked to
provide an appraisal and written documentation identifying a proposed purchase price. At the
September 24, 2012 City Council meeting, the City Administration presented Council with the
referenced information and Council authorized the Mayor to execute any and all documents
related to the purchase of the property contingent upon approval of a budget amendment for
the purchase price and related costs. Related costs include the acquisition cost, closing costs
and costs for initial cleanup of the property which will include removing the pier system and
decking system, taking down the fence, and general site cleanup including some basic
landscaping. Assistant City Administrator Hobson provided additional information about the
history of the site and future plans for this area in the Riverwalk. He explained there are 13
years remaining in the TIF district for this property. He provided some potential projections for
the future development of the property showing different scenarios for the next 13 years and
broke each down with a cost analysis.
Alderman Condon stated this is a key property for the Riverwalk and is an ideal
opportunity for the City.
Alderman Santi feels positive about the City having more input regarding future
development of the property. He has some concerns about the development process and
would like to see aggressive marketing.
Alderman Glab stated he sees the potential of the property and likes that the City will
have additional parking but he has concerns that in-depth discussion about the use of the
property hasn't taken place prior to the purchase of the property.
Alderman Schaefer inquired about how much input the City will actually have regarding
development on the site. Lengthy discussion followed this inquiry including discussion on
public improvements which might be necessary. Council was in consensus on obtaining input
from the residents of McHenry regarding the property before they meet for a Committee of the
Whole meeting on Monday, December 10, 2012 for the purpose of discussing redevelopment
of the site after acquisition of the property is complete.
Motion by Condon, seconded by Wimmer, to approve a request to amend the City of
McHenry FY12/13 budget to include a transfer of$580,000 from the General Fund fund balance

ORDINANCE GRANTING APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT OF LOT 2 OF THE RESUBDIVISION OF
THE SHOPS AT FOX RIVER
Deputy City Administrator Martin summarized this is a second outlot for the Shops at
Fox River subdivision. An approximately 9,000 sq. ft. building is proposed which will hopefully
include an AT&T store and Buffalo Wild Wings. They are proposing to resubdivide the outlot
area which is one lot right now (containing Olive Garden). The proposed resubdivision will
create three outlots, Olive Garden on Lot 1, the new building proposed on Lot 2, and a
remaining outlot for development on Lot 3. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously
recommended approval of the final plat of Lot 2 of the resubdivision of the Shops at Fox River
with a few conditions at the September 20, 2012 regular meeting.
Alderman Glab inquired about the parking spaces at Olive Garden and whether they
were given a parking variance. Deputy City Administrator Martin stated they were not given a
variance and there are approximately 170 spaces available there. Alderman Glab stated he
would like to see the Community Development Committee look at the parking ordinance in
regard to capacity as well as the size of a building.
Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Wimmer, to accept the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission to approve an ordinance granting approval of the final plat of
Lot 2 of the resubdivision of the Shops at Fox River subject to the following conditions, as
presented:
1. Compliance with all revisions to the original engineering plans as reviewed by the
city engineer;
2. Plat is recorded within six months of City Council approval by ordinance and;
3. Any existing covenants for The Shops at Fox River Subdivision be amended to reflect
the resubdivision;

submitted and approved by the city engineer prior to construction.
