ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW OUTSIDE DISPLAY OF
MERCHANDISE AND OUTDOOR STORAGE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3622 W. ELM
STREET AS REQUESTED BY ART GURDA, MCHENRY POWER EQUIPMENT
Deputy Administrator Martin stated an application was submitted by Art Gurda, owner
of McHenry Power Equipment, for a conditional use permit to allow outside display of
merchandise and outdoor storage for the property located at 3622 W. Elm Street. Mr. Gurda
has completed extensive improvements to the interior and exterior of the building and is
seeking the ability to display and store seasonal product outdoors to remain competitive.
Deputy Administrator Martin noted the matter was considered by the Planning and
Zoning Commission at a public hearing held on April 19, 2012. The Commission unanimously
recommended approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Outdoor storage area shall be limited to the north of the existing building and storage area must
be fully enclosed and secured with a solid fence, 100% opacity, including some type of security
control/device during non-business hours or at least minimal security lighting;and
2. Outdoor storage area shall be limited to overstock merchandise only;and

submitted as part of the application; outdoor display shall not impede pedestrian or motor
vehicle access and circulation, inhibit handicapped accessibility in any manner;and
4. Outdoor display cannot occupy required customer or employee parking spaces and shall not be
located in any public right-of-way.
Deputy Administrator Martin stated it is Staff's recommendation to accept the unanimous
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to pass an Ordinance allowing a conditional
use permit for McHenry Power Equipment at 3622 W. Elm Street,subject to the following conditions:
1. Outdoor storage area shall be limited to the north of the existing building and storage area must
be fully enclosed and secured with a solid fence, 100% opacity, including some type of security

submitted as part of the application; outdoor display shall not impede pedestrian or motor

located in any public right-of-way.
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Blake, to approve an Ordinance granting a conditional use
permit to allow outside display of merchandise and outdoor storage for the property located at 3622 W
Elm Street, as presented.
Discussion on the motion:
Alderman Condon stated this is a challenging location but she is concerned that the distraction
of outdoor display may be hazardous. She supports the outdoor storage, but not outdoor display.
Alderman Santi asked about parking for this business and how the outdoor display would affect
the available parking spots. Mr. Gurda responded the outdoor display would not interfere with the
present parking.
Alderman Glab stated he has reservations about this request and Council setting a precedent by
veering away from the general restriction of conditional use permits requiring the use to begin within a
year's time. He would also like to see a limit on what types of items and the number of items that can
be displayed. Mr. Gurda stated merchandise would only be displayed during business hours during the
day. He assured Council he would definitely use outdoor storage within two years and could have the
outdoor storage area screened in within a year.
Alderman Santi inquired about complaints that have been received from residents regarding
parking in front of neighboring homes. Mr. Gurda responded that was an unusual circumstance and is
not a normal occurrence.
Mayor Low stated that Mr. Gurda has done an amazing job with a building that was once
considered nothing but an eyesore. He has made a viable business with a very challenging location. She
also stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission gave unanimous approval to this request.
Regular Meeting

Alderman Glab stated he would like a much clearer idea of how the whole storage facility will
work in the back of the building. Lengthy discussion was held regarding the proposed storage area not
interfering with the required number of parking spaces in order to be in compliance with current codes.
Alderman Schaefer suggested the motion be tabled until more precise plans can be drawn up.
Deputy Administrator Martin stated there is a requirement of 90 days between when the Planning and
Zoning Commission gives approval of a zoning change and when the ordinance needs to be approved by
the City Council.
Alderman Wimmer would like to amend his motion by splitting it into two separate issues.
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated he will modify the ordinance allowing a conditional use
permit for McHenry Power Equipment, located at 3622 W Elm Street, to comply with the current
ordinance;with the following conditions approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, as amended
in tonight's discussion:
1. Outdoor storage area shall be limited to the north of the existing building and storage area

3. Conditional Use Permit to allow outside storage is not required to be implemented within

ORDINANCE GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A DRIVE-THRU
ESTABLISHMENT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3706 W ELM STREET AS REQUESTED BY
RONALD BYKOWSKI
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated a request was submitted by Ronald Bykowski,
property owner of 3706 W Elm Street, to allow a drive-thru establishment in conjunction with a
retail business at said property. This is the former location of Bear Creek Coffee, a drive-thru
only coffee kiosk, which closed for business in 2010. Council was reminded that a conditional
use permit was approved in 2007 for this location, along with a variance reducing the number
of required stacking spaces. The variance was not automatically revoked; however the
conditional use permit for the drive-thru establishment was automatically revoked due to
inactivity for more than one year.
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated Mr. Bykowski has a prospective lessee, Syed
Najmuddin, who would like to open a drive-thru cigarette and tobacco business on the subject
property which would possibly expand to coffee and soft drink sales in the future. Staff
believes the proposed business is an appropriate retail use and permitted by right in all
commercial zoning districts. Deputy Administrator Martin noted the Planning and Zoning
Commission considered the request at a public hearing held on April 19, 2012. The Commission
unanimously recommended approval granting a conditional use permit allowing a drive-thru
establishment on the premises located at 3706 W. Elm Street subject to the applicant providing
appropriate signage and striping to adequately direct customers through the site. Mr. Bykowski
and Mr. Najmuddin have agreed to comply with all conditions in the original Ordinance ORD-
07-1399 pertaining to signage and striping to facilitate traffic movement.

thru. Alderman Schaefer asked about marketing of the products. Mr. Bykowski replied the
existing signboard will be used for any marketing.

of the Planning and Zoning Commission to pass an Ordinance granting a conditional use permit

ORDINANCE GRANTING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW MOTOR VEHICLE REPAIR

REQUESTED BY RENE SANCHEZ
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated an application was submitted by Rene Sanchez
for a conditional use permit to allow motor vehicle repair and outdoor storage for the rear
portion of the property located at 908 N Front Street. The proposed business is very similar to
Northwest Cycle which previously conducted business at this location. The proposed outdoor
storage consists solely of motor vehicles/cycles to be repaired or those awaiting pickup by
customers. Staff believes the proposed use is compatible with adjacent land uses and will not
alter the character of the neighborhood. The applicant is required to maintain a solid screen
enclosing the outdoor storage area.
Deputy Administrator Martin noted the matter was considered by the Planning and
Zoning Commission at a public hearing held on April 19, 2012. The Commission unanimously
recommended approval subject to the following conditions:
1. The conditional use permit shall not be considered active until the applicant is issued a
certificate of occupancy for the building space proposed to be utilized;
2. Outdoor storage area shall be completely secured with some type of security control/device
during non-business hours or other minimal lighting in compliance with City ordinances;
