At roll call the following Aldermen were present: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird. Absent: None. City Staff in attendance were: City Administrator Lobaito, City Clerk Althoff, City Attorney McArdle, Chief of Police Kostecki, Director Public Works Batt, Director Community Development Napolitano, Assistant Administrator Maxeiner. Absent: Director Parks and Recreation Merkel. TEN MINUTE PUBLIC INPUT SESSION Tim Rouletta of 110 North Creekside Trail addressed Council requesting a stop sign be installed at the intersection of Creekside Trail and Greenbrier Drive. Mr. Rouletta also submitted a Petition signed by area residents supporting his request. Alderman Baird suggested Mr. Rouletta's request be addressed at a Public Works Committee Meeting. It was the consensus of Council to address Mr. Rouletta's request at the next Public Works Committee Meeting and to invite Mr. Rouletta to attend. PUBLIC HEARING: ANNEXATION, MAP AMENDMENT AND USE VARIANCE — KENNETH EHREDT, 3310 BULL VALLEY ROAD Mayor Cuda called the Public Hearing on the Ehredt Annexation, Map Amendment, and Use Variance for the property located at 3310 Bull Valley Road to order at 7:33 p.m. Marvin Keys, attorney for Petitioner Kenneth Ehredt, was in attendance. Attorney Keys of Diamond, LeSueur and Associates informed Council the Petitioner is requesting: ■ Annexation of 1.5 acres of property located at 3310 Bull Valley Road; ■ A map amendment to RS-1 Low Density Single Family Residential upon annexation; ■ A use variance to permit the continued operation of an underground utility installation business on the subject premises for a three year period. He noted the property is currently located in unincorporated McHenry County and zoned A-1 Agricultural. The property is improved with a single family residence, garage and metal pole barn. Mr. Keys also noted appearance concerns raised by adjacent property owner Windsor Development Corporation have been addressed. Appropriate landscape screening, appearance guidelines, and a reduction from five to a three-year limitation on the use variance have been agreed to by the Petitioner. In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Attorney Keys stated the property would continue to be used as a residence, as well as the base of operations for Mr. Ehredt's underground utility installation operation. The Petitioner has also agreed to limiting outside storage to specified equipment and vehicle types. Some discussion followed. Attorney Keys agreed to better landscape screening along Bull Valley Road, in response to Alderman Baird's request. In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Attorney Keys noted an RS-2 Zoning Map Amendment was not requested as the property has slightly less than 200 feet of frontage on Bull Valley Road and could not be subdivided into two lots. A minimum lot frontage of 100 feet is required in the RS-2 Zoning District. In addition, the adjacent 3.5-acre parcel to the east is owned by a relative and may be combined with Mr. Ehredt's parcel to permit a future residential subdivision. Mayor Cuda opened the Hearing to audience comment and/or questions. There were none. In response to Mayor Cuda's inquiry, City Clerk Althoff stated there had been no written or verbal comments received in the City Clerk's Office regarding the Ehredt Petition for annexation, map amendment and use variance.

Trustee Youmans reminded Council plans were progressing for the Village of McCullom Lake to extend the City of McHenry Sanitary Sewer System to service residents of the Village of McCullom Lake. Mr. Youmans reported the feasibility study has been completed. A Community Development Block Grant was awarded the Village to monitor the City of McHenry's sanitary sewer system and develop a Facility Plan for the Village of McCullom Lake. It is anticipated the Facility Plan will be completed within the next four weeks. Subsequently, partnership talks with City of McHenry representatives will be resumed. The Village of McCullom Lake Board would like to present the completed sanitary sewer service plan to village residents prior to the end of the 2000 calendar year. Some discussion followed. In response to Alderman Bolger's inquiry, Trustee Youmans stated a majority of residents supported the sanitary sewer service proposal. In addition, the Village of McCullom Lake was ranked fourth in need for sanitary sewer services by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Mayor Cuda and Council thanked Trustee Youmans for his report. Mayor Cuda noted additional information will be sent to the Public Works Committee for consideration and recommendation to full Council. Page 7 8/30/00 REQUEST FOR FENCE VARIATION TO CORNER SIDE YARD — 4319 CRESTWOOD DRIVE Petitioner Janet Cherrette of 4319 Crestwood Drive was in attendance. Ms. Cherrette is requesting a fence variance to permit the installation of a four-foot high chain link fence in the corner side yard of her lot located at 4319 Crestwood Drive. The proposed fence would be located along Lillian Street with a setback of two feet from the property line, starting at the rear of the residence. Current City of McHenry ordinance requires a residential fence be at least fifteen feet from the corner side lot line. Ms. Cherrette explained a large Hickory tree is located in the back yard of her property along Lillian -- Street. Passersby are tossing trash into the yard, specifically, into the trunk divisions of the tree. Ms. Cherrette opined the installation of a fence would eliminate and/or reduce the trash problem. In addition, the installation of a fence would provide containment for her dog. Ms. Cherrette has agreed to install trees and bushes along the fence line to improve its appearance. Staff noted similar chain link fences exist both at 4319 and 4501 Crystal Lake Road. The abutting property, 4320 South Street, also contains a four-foot picket fence along the corner side yard. Ms. Cherrette noted the proposed fence will be installed along only one-half of the Lillian Street corner sideyard. Motion by Glab, seconded by Bolger, to grant the request for a four foot high chain link fence in the corner sideyard setback of the property located at 4319 Crestwood Drive, no closer than the adjacent neighboring fence along the Lillian Street property line. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — CULVERS RESTAURANT, 1101 ADAMS DRIVE Petitioner Rich Adams and his attorney, Mark Saladin of Militello, Zanck and Coen, were in attendance. Attorney Saladin stated Petitioners Mr. and Mrs. Richard Adams are requesting a conditional use to permit the construction and operation of a Culvers Restaurant with a drive-through facility on the property located at 1101 Adams Drive in the Adams Business Park. Staff noted the property is approximately 1.25 acres in size and has 230 feet of frontage along State Route 120. Access to the site is through a shared driveway along the north property line. This private driveway will serve as access for all lots within the Adams Business Park with frontage along State Route 120. Direct access from State Route 120 will be prohibited. Staff noted the proposed site plan is in conformance with C5 Bulk Area Requirements and includes the required five stacking spaces for the drive-through facility. Staff also noted the Petitioners appeared before the Zoning Board of Appeals on August 21, 2000 and received a unanimous recommendation for approval of the conditional use. Motion by Bolger, seconded by McClatchey, to accept the unanimous recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals and to pass an ordinance granting a conditional use to permit the construction and operation of a restaurant with a drive- through facility at 1101 Adams Drive, Lot 2 of Adams Business Park. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. Some discussion followed regarding the feasibility of developing an ordinance permitting drive-through restaurant facilities in commercial and industrial zoning classifications. Council directed Staff to investigate and explore the development of an Page 8 8/30/00 ordinance allowing drive-through restaurant facilities as a permitted use in the specified zoning classifications. REQUEST FOR MAP AMENDMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — TOOL LAND, 2350 W. ROUTE 120 Petitioner David Zickus and his attorney Kenneth Clark were in attendance. Attorney Clark stated Petitioners Mr. and Mrs. David Zickus are requesting a map amendment to C5 Highway Commercial Zoning with a conditional use permit to allow the operation of outside storage and sale of landscape materials and seasonal products, subject to the following conditions, as specified by the Zoning Board of Appeals: 1. All outdoor storage shall be contained within the 40' X 80' area at the northwest corner of the paved parking area, as depicted on the site plan; 2. Outdoor storage shall be limited to: a. Agricultural products, including pumpkins, gourds, cornstalks, Christmas trees, wreaths, and garland; and b. Earth products, all of which shall be contained in bags or on pallets, including gravel, dirt, rocks, rock salt, decorative stone, fertilizer, grass seed, weed control products, firewood, plants and trees; 3. Arbor Vitae (or similar landscaping material), 5 feet in height, shall be planted and maintained along the north edge of the outdoor storage area; 4. A light standard shall be installed at the southeast corner of the outdoor storage area. The subject property is located on the north side of State Route 120, 300 feet east of Hillside Lane with an address of 2350 West Route 120. The property is approximately one acre, has 150 feet of frontage on State Route 120, and is currently zoned E Estate. The Petitioners appeared before the Zoning Board of Appeals on August 7, 2000. The Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously recommended approval of the requested rezoning and conditional use permit with the previously stated four conditions. The Petitioners are requesting an amendment to condition #4, requiring a light standard be installed at the southeast corner of the outdoor storage area. Mr. Clark suggested the four existing lights located on the commercial structure provide adequate illumination. In response to Alderman Baird's suggestion to install a pole light on the western perimeter of the outside storage area, Mr. Clark responded the suggested alternative was cost prohibitive. He cited the expense of digging up and replacing the existing parking lot. Some discussion followed. Motion by Bolger, to accept the unanimous recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals and grant the Petitioners' request for a map amendment to C5 Highway Commercial Zoning and grant a conditional use permit to allow outside storage and retail sales of landscape and seasonal materials, subject to the following conditions, citing financial hardship to the Petitioners: 1. All outdoor storage shall be contained within the 40' X 80' area at the northwest corner of the paved parking area, as depicted on the site plan; 2. Outdoor storage shall be limited to: a. Agricultural products, including pumpkins, gourds, cornstalks, Christmas trees, wreaths, and garland; and ._. b. Earth products, all of which shall be contained in bags or on pallets, including gravel, dirt, rocks, rock salt, decorative stone, fertilizer, grass seed, weed control products, firewood, plants and trees; 3. Arbor Vitae (or similar landscaping material), 5 feet in height, shall be planted and maintained along the north edge of the outdoor storage area. Motion died for lack of a second. Page 9 8/30/00 Motion by Baird, seconded by Murgatroyd, to accept the unanimous recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals, and to direct Staff to draft an ordinance granting a map amendment to C5 Highway Commercial District and a conditional use to permit outdoor storage and an open sales lot for landscape and seasonal products for the one acre property located at 2350 West Route 120, subject to the following conditions: 1.
