REQUEST FOR SIGN VARIANCE FOR RIGGSBY CONSTRUCTION FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT
4209 SHAMROCK LANE
Construction and Neighborhood Services Director Schwalenberg stated a request was
submitted by Riggsby Construction for a sign variance allowing installation of three separate
walls signs on the exterior of their building located at 4209 Shamrock Lane. The building has
been remodeled and now contains three tenant spaces, each of which requires its own
identification. The property is zoned 0-1, Local Office, which only allows one wall sign. Two
signs would be posted on the south side or back of the building and one would be posted on
the east side of the building.
Staff has no reservations or issues with this request and supports approval of the
variance as presented.
Alderman Schaefer commented that this request makes sense and he would like to see
sign variance requests that are under the sign area square footage allowance permitted be

allowed to proceed without having to go before City Council. Alderman Glab agrees this makes
sense but likes seeing all sign variance issues come before City Council because there are so
many varying circumstances in the City with signs.
Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Wimmer, to approve a sign variance allowing three
wall signs at the property located at 4209 Shamrock Lane as presented.

AWARD OF BID FOR THE 2012 STREET RESURFACING PROGRAM TO CURRAN CONTRACTING
COMPANY OF CRYSTAL LAKE, ILLINOIS, IN THE AMOUNT OF$724,710.70
Public Works Director Schmitt stated on June 7, 2012 four bids were received for the
2012 street resurfacing program. Bids ranged from $724,710.70 to $848,323.37 and include a
list of 7 streets including alternates throughout the city. The city's cost for the 2012 road
program is $611,588.30 for construction and $55,042.95 for engineering; for a total of
$666,631.25. This amount is approximately $32,000 over the capital improvement program
budget and staff is proposing to make up this shortfall with MFT reserves. H.R. Green, Inc. has
analyzed and checked the bids for accuracy and recommends awarding the 2012 street
resurfacing program contract to Curran Contracting Company of Crystal Lake, Illinois. This is a
unit price contract and the final cost of construction will be based on actual final quantities. It is
Staff's recommendation to accept H.R. Green's recommendation and award the bid to Curran
Contracting Company in the amount of$724,710.70, as presented.

Pieper provided an explanation.

Intergovernmental Agreement was entered into with MCDOT at that time listing the City of
McHenry as the lead agency for Phase I engineering. When Phase I engineering was completed,
Phase II engineering was completed by the county. Due to right-of-way acquisition challenges,

improvements on River Road. It also includes a new two lane bridge for westbound traffic.
Phase II includes the remainder of Miller Road and improvements to Route 31 and Bull Valley
Road. Phase I is scheduled to be let in September, 2012 with road construction to begin in the
fall of 2012 and continue throughout 2013.

drafted cooperatively between City staff, MCDOT staff, the McHenry County State's Attorney
office and City Attorney McArdle. It is Staff's recommendation to approve the

Charles J. Miller Road Improvements, as presented.
In regard to page 2, Item #6 on the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement, Alderman
