CONSENT AGENDA ITEM B: REQUEST TO DEDICATE A PLAT OF EASEMENT TO THE CITY OF
MCHENRY FROM MCDONALD'S AT 1904 N. RICHMOND ROAD TO ALLOW MAINTENANCE OF
THE EXISTING RETAINING WALL
Alderman Glab stated he did not know where the easement on the piece of property in
question is. Deputy Administrator Martin noted the easement is on the southern property line.
Alderman Glab asked if the retaining wall was put in when the former bank at the
location was built. Public Works Director Schmitt stated he researched the issue and found it
was put in as part of the Route 31-McCullom Lake Road intersection improvement.
Unfortunately it was put on private property and McDonald's is allowing additional easements
rather than the City having to move easements.
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Santi to accept a dedicated plat of easement from
McDonald's at 1904 N. Richmond Road to allow maintenance of the existing retaining wall
along the southwest and southern boundaries of the property as presented.
Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.

before the Planning and Zoning Commission with incomplete information and asked what

research is being done at this time to present to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Deputy
Administrator Martin also stated the applicant could have applied directly to the Planning and
Zoning Commission. Alderman Glab opined it is not ready for a public hearing and he has
concerns with the location being proposed.
Alderman Condon stated this matter was reviewed by the Community Development
Committee merely as a conceptual plan and the committee did make some recommendations
to what was presented.
Alderman Santi inquired as to what is normally required to be submitted to the Planning
and Zoning Commission for a public hearing. Deputy Administrator Martin stated normally a
conceptual plan is required. Engineering information is also requested if it is a subdivision plan.
Deputy Administrator Martin opined information addressing engineering concerns should be
addressed in this matter when it is presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Committee's recommendation to bring presentation of a conceptual development proposal for
affordable housing for veterans on property located at the southeast corner of Ridge Road and
