APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE ANNEXING 0.427 ACRES WEST OF ADAMS OUTDOOR
POWER EQUIPMENT
City Administrator Lobaito reminded Council Adams Outdoor Power
Equipment, located at 2103 West Route 120 was annexed to the City of McHenry in
1995 as part of the East of the River annexation process. The property was rezoned
to C5-Highway Commercial with a Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Sales, Display
and Storage. In conjunction with Phase II of the East McHenry Bypass, McHenry
County recently acquired the eastern 75 feet of Adams Outdoor Power Equipment
property for right-of-way. In exchange for the eastern 75 feet, McHenry County gave
Adams Outdoor Power Equipment property owners a similar piece located adjacent to
the property's western boundary. This parcel is currently located in unincorporated
McHenry County and must be annexed to the City of McHenry and rezoned to C5
Highway Commercial with a Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Sales, Display and
Storage.
Staff is recommending Council pass an ordinance annexing the property and
direct Staff to prepare the necessary Zoning Board of Appeals application materials
and schedule a Public Hearing to rezone the property C5 Highway Commercial with
a Conditional Use Permit for Outdoor Sales, Display and Storage to match the existing
November 4, 1998 Page 4
zoning of Adams Outdoor Power Equipment. In addition, Staff is requesting all fees
associated with the annexation, rezoning and conditional use permit be waived as the
land swap facilitates the Phase II East McHenry Bypass project.
Motion by Baird, seconded by Bolger,
• To pass an ordinance annexing approximately 0.427 acres of property
owned by Richard and Rita Adams, located on the south side of State
Route 120 at Chapel Hill Road, and west of Adams Outdoor Power
Equipment;
• To direct Staff to prepare the necessary Zoning Board of Appeals Petition
and Application materials;
• To direct Staff to schedule a Public Hearing to rezone the recently
annexed property to C5 Highway Commercial with a Conditional Use
Permit for Outdoor Sales, Display, and Storage; and
• To waive all associated fees with the annexation, rezoning, and
conditional use permit application.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Baird, Cuda.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: Murgatroyd.
Motion carried.
In response to Alderman McClatchey's inquiry, City Administrator Lobaito noted
Phase II of the East McHenry Bypass is scheduled to begin immediately and be
completed in the summer of 1999.
MAYOR - STATEMENT AND REPORTS
Mayor Cuda informed Council a Liquor Hearing was currently being conducted
by the City of McHenry Liquor Commission. A local establishment violated not only
local ordinances, but state statutes as well. The Commission can revoke and/or —�
suspend the establishment's liquor license. The Hearing will conclude sometime next
week.
Mayor Cuda also reported written comments had been received form both
Elementary School District 15 and High School District 156 regarding the proposed
Diedrich Farm Annexation. These comments will be forwarded to Roger and Donald
Gerstad and Council, along with the latest draft of the proposed Annexation
Agreement. Mayor Cuda noted the Gerstads have recently expressed an interest in
researching the feasibility of annexing to the municipality directly east of the City of
McHenry. In addition, this municipality is investigating extending their wastewater
and water infrastructure to their westernmost boundary at Chapel Hill Road. Some
discussion followed.
In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Mayor Cuda acknowledged, although
the Diedrich Farm property is currently located within the City of McHenry's Facility
Planning Area, it appears a tentative compromise has been reached regarding the
abolishment of Facility Planning Areas. Current Facility Planning Areas will remain in
place for approximately 3-5 years. Thereafter, all Facility Planning Areas will be
abolished.
Mayor Cuda also noted if McHenry High School District 156 is successful in
establishing the northwest corner of Chapel Hill Road and Lincoln Road as a school
site, both water and sewer services will be required. The proposed Gerstad's Diedrich
Farm annexation will appear before Council for final consideration sometime later this
month.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Parks and Recreation Committee Chairman Alderman Baird reported the Parks
and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes from the October 15, 1998 meeting will
be provided for Council review in Friday's Agenda Packet. The next Parks and
Recreation Committee Meeting was scheduled for November 17, 1998 at 7:00 p.m.

November 4, 1998 Page 5
Committee and the Finance Committee was tentatively scheduled for November 24,

Committee Meeting will include consideration of returning the mowing responsibilities
of municipal property to the Parks Department.
Public Works Committee Chairman Alderman Bolger clarified the Public Works
Committee had unanimously agreed not to recommend acceptance of the Shamrock
Lane Circle from the Cunat Brothers unless the required public improvements are
made, or a significant cash contribution is made, from the Cunat Brothers to offset the
construction costs of these improvements.
STAFF REPORTS
There were no Staff Reports.
NEW BUSINESS
In response to Alderman Baird's inquiry, City Administrator Lobaito reported no
City of McHenry Police Department Officers were hurt in conjunction with the liquor
hearing violations. Alderman Baird requested Council to direct Staff to further
investigate the feasibility of correcting the drainage problem on Loch Glen Lane. He
noted a potential solution in conjunction with the development of the adjacent 6-acre
parcel was discussed.
Alderman Bolger reported local business entity Medela Corp. conducted their
formal ground-breaking ceremonies this morning in preparation of their 134,000
square foot new building. City Administrator Lobaito then provided Council with an
update regarding the McHenry Corporate Center build-out. He noted Brake Parts Inc.
proposed expansion of approximately 350,000 square feet will exhaust the remaining
property with the exception of two small 6-acre parcels. The proposed expansion will
require a McHenry Corporate Center Concept Plan revision. These revisions are
tentatively scheduled for review at the regularly scheduled November 23, 1998
Council Meeting.
In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Mayor Cuda directed Staff to review
and summarize Council action with regard to acceptance, maintenance. and status of
Devonshire Court. This information shall be provided to Council in the November 6,
1998 Agenda Packet.
