Administrator Lobaito reminded Council the City of McHenry in conjunction with local
engineering firm Smith Engineering, co-sponsored a Marquette University senior
engineering project. Ms. Blair, Mr. Glisson and Mr. Roden were in attendance to present

ZONING MAP AMENDMENT REQUEST —TRUSZKOWKI, 801_MI_LL STREET
Petitioner Walter Truszkowski and his Attorney Mary Spiegel of Diamond and
LeSueur were in attendance. Ms. Spiegel informed Council Mr. Truszkowski is requesting
approval of a zoning map amendment from RS-4 High Density Single Family Residential to
RM-2 High Density Multi-Family Residential, a conditional use permit to allow a reduced
minimum lot area per unit in the RM-2 District, and a variance to permit three buildings on
a single zoning lot. The subject property is approximately 2.75 acres in size and is located
on the south side of Mill Street with a common address of 801 Mill Street. The property is
improved with a single family residence and detached garage. Mr. Truszkowski intends to
demolish the single family residence and detached garage. As per City policy the -�
Landmark Commission was notified of the potential demolition. The Commission has
evaluated the structure and has no objection to the proposed demolition. Mr. Truszkowski
would then construct three two-story condominium buildings on the site. Each building
would contain 12 condominiums for a total of 36 units: 30 two-bedroom units; six three-
bedroom units.
Ms. Spiegel stated all the condominium units as well as the enclosed garage spaces
would be privately owned and not leased out. A homeowners association would be formed
and protective covenants recorded to provide for maintenance and repair of the
development. A landscape plan has also been submitted illustrating the proposed buffering
between the adjacent single family homes and the condominium development.

5/3/00
Attorney Spiegel noted, as numerous area residents expressed specific concerns
with this proposed development during the February 21, 2000 Zoning Board of Appeals
Public Hearing, Petitioner Mr. Truszkowski is proposing the following solutions:
■ Regarding storm water drainage and adequate infrastructure: Mr. Truszkowski
suggests area residents and the developer work with City Staff to correct any
problems during the construction of the proposed development;
■ Regarding traffic, specifically increased vehicular traffic on Crestwood Drive: Mr.
Truszkowski will require as part of the development's covenants, the limitation of
two cars per unit. In addition, he will recommend City Staff investigate the
feasibility of designating Crestwood a one-way street, prohibiting west-bound
traffic from turning left;
■ Regarding noise: Mr. Truszkowski intends to use brick on the building fagade,
which will provide an effective sound barrier. The brick and landscaping will
muffle additional outside noises.
Attorney Spiegel also opined the proposed development would benefit the City of
McHenry, providing significant additional property tax revenues, matching the proposed
standards and criteria of the City's Comprehensive Plan, and producing little or no impact
on the elementary and high school enrollment. Attorney Spiegel also noted the proposed
development promotes the retention of residents downtown and helps urban sprawl.
Attorney Spiegel stated Mr. Truszkowski has agreed to include language in the
homeowner's covenants similar to that of the language found in the City's Property
Management Code to restrict potential unit overcrowding. The proposed development will
be aesthetically pleasing, will include a fire-suppression sprinkler system, and will be a
two-phase development.
In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Attorney Spiegel noted the subject property
-- is not subdivided and is currently considered one complete lot.
Alderman Bolger complimented Mr. Truszkowski of the aesthetics and quality of his
previous City of McHenry developments, but stated this type of development in this
residential area was inappropriate. He also opined the Petitioner's proposal to designate
Crestwood Drive a one-way street was not practical.
Alderman Baird stated the proposed development of 13.2 units/acre was too intense
a use for this residential neighborhood. The additional traffic created by the proposed
development exacerbates the existing traffic problem. Some discussion followed regarding
the proposed density. Attorney Spiegel explained a minimum of thirty-six units is needed to
make the project economically feasible.
Alderman Glab noted homeowner covenants can only be regulated by the
association, not the City. In addition, covenants can be amended , revised and changed by
a majority vote of the association.
In response to Alderman Murgatroyd's inquiry, Mr. Truszkowski stated the buildings'
height will not exceed 35' with roof lines resembling residential structures. A board on
board sign will also be installed along the property's southern boundary line, in addition to
a landscape buffer. Enclosed garages will be constructed 15' to 20' from the property's
west boundary. The 5' detention pond will be located along the property's front/southern
property line with storm water swales running alongside the buildings.
Mayor Cuda opened the floor to audience comments.
Linda Koss of 4105 Crestwood addressed Council stating her objection to the
proposed zoning reclassification. She cited the potential of increased traffic, noise, and
even domestic fights with the addition of three twelve-unit multi-family dwellings to the
neighborhood.
Page 6
5/3/00
Kathy Lynd of 813 Mill Street addressed Council stating her objection to the
proposed zoning reclassification. She opined the creation of a one-way street to
accommodate four buildings was ludicrous.
Local realtor Jim Piper addressed Council . Mr. Piper opined the zoning
reclassification and subsequent multi-family development will improve and enhance the
area. Neighborhood property values will also increase.
Wayne Warren of 721 North Mill Street addressed Council stating his opposition to -�
the proposed zoning reclassification. He noted the existence of traffic problems in the area
and opined the development of 36 multi-family units would only enhance the problem.
William Miller of 4215 Crystal Lake Road addressed Council citing traffic and safety
concerns. He opposed the proposed zoning reclassification.
Brandon Burns of South Street addressed Council expressing concerns with
increased area traffic and subsequent safety problems. He suggested the development of
single family homes on this property be considered.
Ron Wagner of 4316 Sioux Lane addressed Council noting the issue of additional
multi-family development in this area had been addressed by previous Councils on
numerous occasions. The developers of these projects always promised area benefit and
enhancement. These benefits and enhancements never materialized. He also noted
although covenants could require and prohibit specific conditions, no real entity existed to
enforce compliance. He stated his opposition to the proposed zoning reclassification.
Judy Miller of Crestwood Drive addressed Council and appealed to the Council's
emotional side and requested Council deny Mr. Truszkowski's zoning reclassification
request and preserve the existing flavor of the neighborhood.
Robert Zerbicki of 4222 Crestwood Drive addressed Council, inquiring rhetorically if
there were any possible solutions for this project.
Petitioner Walter Truszkowski of 213 North Front Street responded stating he had
proposed the multi-family development as per City Staff suggestion. He opined the
proposed development would have ultimately enhanced the area. He noted as a City
resident and businessman his only interest was in improving the community.
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Glab, to acknowledge the lack of a recommendation
from the Zoning Board of Appeals and deny the Petitioner's request for a map amendment
from RS-4 High Density Single Family Zoning District to RM-2 High Density Multi-family
Zoning District and the issuance of a conditional use permit to allow construction on the
subject property pursuant to the RM-2 Zoning District bulk area requirements, and a
variance to permit three principal buildings on a single zoned lot in substantial
conformance to the site plan prepared by Eggersdorfer Architects and Associates, dated
2/3/00.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.
Mayor Cuda called for a recess at 9:05 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:17
p.m. with full Staff and the following aldermen still in attendance: Bolger, Glab,
McClatchey, Murgatroyd.
ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK COLOR SELECTION
As per Mayor Cuda's request, a color selection chart was provided Council for
consideration in choosing a color for the new elevated 750,000-gallon water storage tank
in Adams Commercial Centre. Some discussion followed.
Staffs recommendation was to choose color WH02 tank white. Director of Public
Works Batt noted if a color were to be selected, application of a clear coating would be
Page 7

required. Initial cost estimates do not include the clear coat application. Further discussion
followed regarding the application of lettering and/or a logo. It was the consensus of
Council to develop a rendering of the proposed elevated water storage tank design
including block lettering for the City of McHenry in addition to a large stripe in a contrasting
dark color. Director Batt will provide Council with a rendering within the next few weeks.
BURNING TREE DRIVE AND RIDGE ROAD INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT
CONSIDERATION
Mayor Cuda requested Council consider postponing this Agenda item until the next
regularly scheduled Council Meeting May 171h as per the request of area residents. City
Administrator Lobaito noted the inability of petition circulator Allen Arns to attend this
evening's meeting. Council concurred. The consideration of the Burning Tree Drive and
Ridge Road Intersection Improvement was postponed until the May 17, 2000 regularly
scheduled Council Meeting.
MAYOR STATEMENT AND REPORTS
Mayor Cuda reported he and City Administrator Lobaito had met with property
owners Gordon Stade and Wade Light. These individuals own property on the southwest
side of McHenry outside the City's corporate boundaries. These gentlemen felt in light of
the City's boundary agreement negotiations with neighboring Village of Bull Valley, the
need to verbalize and formally note their future intent to annex to the City of McHenry. No
immediate plans for annexation exist.
City Administrator Lobaito and Mayor Cuda also met with Village of Lakemoor
representatives to continue discussions regarding a potential boundary agreement
between the two municipalities. Negotiations were currently postponed as it was the
consensus of the negotiating teams the development of corporate boundaries would be
premature until McHenry High School District 156 selects a school site. Village of
Lakemoor representatives acknowledge only the City of McHenry has the ability to extend
utility services to a future high school site in the Route 120/Chapel Hill Road area.
