MCHENRY ZONE SKATE PARK PRESENTATION
City Administrator Lobaito informed Council the volunteer organization created
to pursue the development of a skate park facility in McHenry requested an appearance
before City Council. Representative Bud Smith of Jessup Manufacturing addressed
Council. He stated a sub-committee consisting of himself, volunteers Carol Chrisman
and Marty Kampmeier, as well as City of McHenry Parks and Recreation Department
representatives Director Peter Merkel and Athletic Supervisor Michael Perkins, was
created to obtain a specified site for the proposed skate park. A site has been
suggested, and the volunteer organization is requesting Council consider and approve
the following:
1 . Designating two acres of property east of the Knox Park Barn near the proposed
recreational facility site for the skateboard park;
2. Designating the City of McHenry as the official depository for Project Zone, similar
to the Fort McHenry structure;
3. Allocating approximately $15,000 for the purpose of hiring an architect to design
the skateboard park facility.
Some discussion followed.
In response to Council inquiry, Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel and
volunteer representative Bud Smith stated the following:
■ Typical skate park facilities range from 10,000-12,000 square feet in size;
■ Parking can be easily accommodated on the proposed site;
■ Estimated project cost ranges from $150,000 to $200,000, dependent on size and
number of amenities;
■ It is the intent of the volunteers to provide amenities for skateboarders,
rollerbladers, and BMX bike riders;
■ Open access similar to City Parks is envisioned;
■ Anticipated date for project completion is Spring 2001 ;
■ A lighted facility is desired; however, dependent on cost, this could be phased in
over the next few years.
In response to Alderman Baird's inquiry regarding seasonal operation, Mr. Smith
noted, although outdoors, the facility should remain open all year, as park users would
attempt to gain access as long as weather conditions were dry. Mr. Smith also noted,
in responded to Alderman Glab's inquiry, BMX bikes are not motorized.
Alderman Baird suggested the Parks and Recreation Committee assist the
volunteer organization with facility design coordination. Director of Parks and
Recreation Merkel also noted the importance of including the volunteer organization,
the community at large, and the participating skateboarders in the design planning
process. Alderman Baird also stated once a design had been established and approved,
an accurate project cost estimate would be available.
City Administrator Lobaito outlined the formal process for obtaining an architect
to design the proposed skate park facility. Architects would be asked to submit
qualifications and appear before the Parks and Recreation Committee. Once a design
concept has been developed, proposals will be solicited.

Park Barn, near the proposed recreational facility, for the skate park;

Funds and to maintain accurate records of these contributions and expenditures;

REQUEST FOR POLE SIGN VARIANCE, 3815 WEST ELM STREET
Property owner Ron Bykowski was in attendance. Mr. Bykowski addressed
Council requesting a sign variance from the City's Zoning Ordinance requiring a 5'
minimum setback and a 15' maximum height requirement for pole signs. He opined the
pole sign was originally installed in the late 1940's or early 1950's and became non-
conforming when Elm Street was widened. Mr. Bykowski also noted the sign's
electrical components, wiring ballast, lamps, etc. were all replaced within the last year.
He also noted extraordinarily unusual size of his property. The parcel is extremely small
encompassing approximately 3,000 square feet with an Elm Street frontage of 82.92
feet. The parcel is pie-shaped and narrows to 25.5 feet at the westerly property line
adjoining the Cellular One Store and 66 feet at the rear property line. Mr. Bykowski
also offered to replace the pole sign in accordance with City ordinances if the sign
were to be damaged or destroyed.
In response to Alderman Murgatroyd's inquiry, Staff noted the pole sign is
currently 2.7 feet from the property line and is 19 feet high. Staff also noted,
responding to Alderman Baird's inquiry, Mr. Bykowski's property will most assuredly
be affected by future Route 12 improvements.
Responding to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Staff noted the sign size conforms to
current City of McHenry Sign Ordinance requirements.
Motion by Baird, seconded by Murgatroyd, to grant a sign variance to the
property located at 3815 West Elm Street permitting the continued use of the existing
free-standing pole sign with a 2.7 foot front yard setback and a 19 foot height, subject
to the following conditions:
1 . If damaged or destroyed, the pole sign would be replaced in accordance with
current City ordinances;
2. The variance is granted for a five-year period with an expiration date of 1/19/05;
3. If the sign pole requires relocation as part of the State Route 120 widening by
the Illinois Department of Transportation, the property owner will incur all
associated costs.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Murgatroyd, Baird.
Voting Nay: McClatchey.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.

ZONING MAP AMENDMENT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 305 NORTH FRONT
STREET
Petitioner and contract purchaser Thomas Grieco, his attorney Michael Poper,
and his engineer Scott Smith of Smith Engineering, were in attendance. Mr. Grieco
addressed Council requesting a Zoning Map Amendment from RS-3 to C-5 Highway
Commercial Zoning District as well as a conditional use permit for a drive-through
facility. The Petitioner is proposing to construct a 4,642 square foot Tommy's Red
Hots Restaurant including a drive-through service lane. No alcoholic beverages will be
sold on the premises. Estimated seating capacity is approximately 100 seats.
The subject property is located on the west side of Front Street between the
Warsaw Inn and the Fountain Shoppes, and commonly known as 305 North Front
Street. The property is approximately three acres in size. Properties to the north and
south are zoned C-5 Highway Commercial and are improved with a multi-tenant
commercial center and a restaurant. The property to the east is zoned C-3 and the
property to the west is vacant and zoned 1-1 Industrial. Access to State Route 31 has
been moved further north of the property's southern boundary as per Illinois
Department of Transportation approval criteria.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Bolger's inquiry, Mr. Grieco noted the property
extends westward to the creek. Detention is provided behind the proposed parking
area along the property's western boundary.
In response to Council inquiry, Mr. Grieco stated the location of the drive-
through facility is the southwest corner of the building. There will be stacking room for
seven vehicles which is two more than required by current City of McHenry ordinance.
The Zoning Board of Appeals at a Public Hearing held on January 3, 2000 unanimously
recommended approval of Mr. Grieco's request for a Zoning Map Amendment from RS-
3 Medium High Density Single Family Residential to C-5 Highway Commercial Zoning
--- and a Conditional Use Permit to permit a drive-through facility for the property located
at 305 North Front Street.
In response to Council inquiry, Staff also noted a cross-easement agreement
with the Fountain Shoppes has been executed; however, property owners to the
south, Warsaw Inn, have expressed no interest in a shared access.
Director of Community Development Napolitano informed Council Mr. Grieco is
requesting approval to remove ten trees along the property's Route 31 frontage to
facilitate construction. He will, as per City ordinance, plant ten new trees on the
property.
Motion by McClatchey, seconded by Murgatroyd, to accept the unanimous
recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals, and direct Staff to draft an ordinance
granting Mr. Grieco's request for a Zoning Map Amendment from RS-3 Medium High
Density Single Family Residential to C-5 Highway Commercial Zoning with a
Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction and operation of a restaurant with a
drive-through facility for the property located at 305 North Front Street.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, McClatchey, Murgatroyd, Baird.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.

Director Batt noted the Broad Street improvement is included as part of the
City's Master Water Plan and will be required sometime in the future. Citing the
favorable bid price, Director Batt suggested Council consider awarding both Part A and
Part B of the East Side Water Main Extension Project.
Motion by Baird, seconded by McClatchey, to award both Part A and Part B of
the East Side Water Main Extension Project to the low bidder Gluth Brothers
Construction of Woodstock, Illinois, in the amount of $439,833.50, noting this is a
