REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY USE PERMIT AND WAIVER OF CAPITAL
DEVELOPMENT FEES -AMERICAN COMMUNITY BANK
Petitioner Charie Zanck, Chief Executive Officer of American Community Bank, and
her attorney Mark Saladin of Militello, Zanck and Coen, were in attendance.
Attorney Saladin informed Council American Community Bank is requesting
approval of a temporary use permit to allow a temporary financial institution with a drive
through facility at the northeast corner of Route and Albany Street. A zoning
reclassification and conditional use permit petition for a permanent facility on property
located at the southeast corner of Route 31 and Albany Street will be forthcoming within
the next fifteen months. The temporary structure consists of a 28' X 40' modular trailer
including paved parking for seventeen vehicles and five stacking spaces for the drive
through facility. Access for the temporary facility will be from existing Route 31 and Albany
Street curb cuts. A 4' X 8' temporary sign would be installed along Route 31 to identify the
facility.
Attorney Saladin stated the Petitioner is also requesting City of McHenry water and
sewer service for the temporary facility. Because of the temporary nature of the facility, the
Petitioner is requesting a waiver of the capital development fees. The Petitioner, however,
has agreed to be responsible for tap-on, meter and usage fees.
Page 5
9/20/00
Staff is recommending approval of the temporary use and the waiving of associated
capital development fees for the temporary structure, subject to the following conditions:
■ The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the site and
grading plan dated 9/12/00 and the October 1,1999 elevation drawing;
■ The temporary use shall expire on December 20,2001;
■ Within sixty days of the expiration of the temporary use, the trailer and all site
improvements shall be removed and the site shall be restored to its original
condition prior to the temporary use;
■ Upon abandonment of the trailer, water and sewer lines installed for the
-- temporary use shall be abandoned and capped.
Attorney Saladin stated the Petitioner has agreed to comply with all points included
in Staffs recommendation.
In response to Alderman Murgatroyd's inquiry, Director of Community Development
Napolitano responded the Petitioner will still be required to follow City of McHenry Zoning
Ordinance. The Petitioner will appear before the Zoning Board of Appeals for
consideration and recommendation of zoning reclassification and conditional use permit
for the permanent structure to be located at the southeast corner of Route 31 and Albany
Street.
In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Director of Community Development
Napolitano stated the capital development fees would total approximately $5,400.
City Administrator Lobaito clarified capital development fees are assessed to
replace lost capacity of existing water and sewer infrastructure. He also noted, as per
Staffs recommendation, the temporary connections would be abandoned and capped
when the temporary use is terminated. A building permit will be required to reuse these
water and sewer lines.
-- Alderman Baird suggested Council consider collecting the capital development fees
for the temporary structure. The collected fees could then be credited at time of building
permit for the permanent structure. Some discussion followed.
Motion by Bolger, seconded by McClatchey, to approve
■ A temporary use permit to American Community Bank allowing a financial
institution with a drive through facility at the northeast corner of Route 31 and
Albany Street;
■ The installation of a 4' X 8' temporary sign along Route 31;
■ The waiving of all capital development fees subject to the following conditions:
■ The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the site and
grading plan dated 9/12/00 and the October 1,1999 elevation drawing;
■ The temporary use shall expire on December 20,2001;
■ Within sixty days of the expiration of the temporary use, the trailer and all
site improvements shall be removed and the site shall be restored to its
original condition prior to the temporary use;
■ Upon abandonment of the trailer, water and sewer lines installed for the
temporary use shall be abandoned and capped.

ORDINANCES TO APPROVE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT, ANNEXATION, REZONING,
PRELIMINARY PLAT AND VARIANCE—CASSIE ESTATES SUBDIVISION
Petitioner Christine Galanopoulos and her attorney Edward Dean of Crystal Lake
were in attendance. The Petitioner is requesting the following:
■ Annexation of 2.33 acres of property located at the southeast corner of Barreville Road
and Beach Drive;
■ Reclassification to RS-2 Medium Density Single Family Zoning District; and
■ A variance to City of McHenry Subdivision Control Ordinance to permit a $22,000
monetary contribution in lieu of Beach Drive and/or Barreville Road street
improvements, including curb and gutter, and the installation of sidewalks.
The Public Hearing for the proposed annexation was conducted on June 14, 2000.
At that time, Council directed Staff to work with the Petitioner to revise the annexation
agreement to address the following concerns:
■ Minimum square footage requirements for new single-family homes to be similar
to those used for Biscayne Highlands Subdivision:
■ Tying the proposed per lot streettsidewalk contribution to yearly inflationary
increases; and
■ Burying of overhead utilities.
Staff noted annexation agreement has been amended to reflect these issues.
Attorney Dean requested Council reconsider the minimum square footage
requirements for homes within the proposed subdivision. Mayor Cuda requested the
minimum square footage parameters outlined in the Biscayne Highlands Annexation
Agreement be considered. Square footage minimums stated in the Biscayne Highlands
Annexation Agreement are 1,400 square foot for a ranch and 1,900 square foot for tri-level
or bi-level. The proposed annexation agreement requires a minimum square footage of
1,600 for a ranch home, and 1,900 for a tri-level, bi-level or two-story home, exclusive of
porches and garages. Ms. Galanopoulos has agreed to the 1,600 square foot minimum for
a ranch home, however, is requesting a 1,600 square foot minimum for the tri-level, bi-
level, or two story home model, as well. Some discussion followed.
Motion by Baird, seconded by Bolger, to direct Staff to prepare ordinances
approving the:
■ Annexation Agreement of the 2.33 acre Cassie Estates property, subject to the
inclusion of language requiring a minimum of 1,600 square feet for a ranch
model home, and 1,900 square feet for a tri-level, bi-level, or two story model
home;
■ Annexation of the 2.33 acre Cassie Estates property;
■ Reclassification of the Cassie Estates property to RS-2 Medium Density single
family zoning district, and approval of a variance to the City of McHenry
Subdivision Control Ordinance to permit a $22,000 monetary contribution in lieu
of Beach Drive and/or Barreville Road street improvements, including curb and
gutter, and the installation of sidewalks.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.
