CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION AT 4100 SHAMROCK LANE Ken Anderson, Associate Pastor of Northwest Bible Baptist Church; Dr. Judson Mitchell, Vice President of Providence Bible College; and Attorney Brian J. Cohan, were in attendance. Mr. Anderson addressed Council requesting a conditional use permit for siting_ a college campus at 4100 Shamrock Lane, currently a Ramada Inn. The campus would include classrooms, dining and kitchen facilities and dorm-like lodgings. Pastor Anderson explained Providence Bible College is being utilized for ministry formation. The college has been in operation for three years and housed in the church facility in Elgin. Citing increased enrollment, the Church sought a new larger site for the College. He stated the subject property fits the needs of the College. Pastor Anderson stated the existing guest rooms would be utilized for student housing, church speakers, guest facilities, or visiting parents. The front lobby and reception area would be used as the College's reception area and existing offices would be used for administrative offices. The existing lounge/bar would be converted into a student fellowship area or library/study room. The College will retain the present dining room and kitchen facilities. Banquet and meeting rooms will be converted to classrooms and chapel. There is presently parking for 300 vehicles. Space would be allocated for employees, students and visitors. Discussion ensued. Page 8 8/28/01 Director of Community Development Napolitano noted the Zoning Board of Appeals at a Public Hearing held on August 9, 2001 recommended approval of the conditional use, subject to the following conditions: • Dormitory supervisors be used to monitor dorm activities; and • Signs be installed in appropriate locations to designate staff/employee, student and visitor parking areas. Motion by Bolger, seconded by Low, to accept the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals, and to approve the Northwest Bible Baptist Church request for conditional use permit to allow an educational institution at 4100 Shamrock Lane, subject to the following conditions: • Dormitory supervisors be used to monitor dorm activities; and • Signs be installed in appropriate locations to designate staff/employee, student and visitor parking areas. Voting Aye: Bolger, Low, Murgatroyd, Wimmer Voting Nay: Glab. Absent: None. Motion carried. RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A FEASIBILITY STUDY ON USING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT TO FUND THE RIVERWALK Assistant Administrator Maxeiner stated, conceptual plans for the McHenry Riverwalk have been prepared and various methods of funding for the project have been explored. To date, the McHenry Riverwalk Foundation has had some success in obtaining grants and private donations. In' total, the Foundation has received pledges totaling 20% of the $9 million needed for this project. Funding has been secured from Senator Klemm, Representative Franks and United States Senator Durbin, as well as private entities. Assistant Administrator Maxeiner noted the following conditions have been placed on the funds pledged by Senator Klemm: ■ The City must match the $500,000 pledge; and ■ The City must commit to the overall project as opposed to phasing the project, as funds become available. Assistant Administrator Maxeiner reported the City has met the first requirement as a result of a $500,000 line item in the 2001-2002 budget. He noted Staff has explored ways to meet the second condition while minimizing the potential fiscal impact on other municipal services. Staff has identified Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as a financial mechanism to -•� accomplish this project. TIF is a popular and effective economic development financing tool available to local governments in Illinois. It utilizes publicly financed improvements to spur private development or redevelopment. In turn, the increased value of the properties affected by the private development generate additional tax funds to pay for the public Page 9 8/28/01 L- improvements. The revenue comes from the higher property values, not from higher tax rates. It was noted TIFs are somewhat controversial as potential impact on other taxing districts is possible. Assistant Administrator Maxeiner reported Mayor Althoff and Staff have discussed the proposed TIF District with the McHenry Elementary School District 15, McHenry High School District 156, McHenry Township Fire Protection District, and the McHenry Public Library District. Staff suggests a feasibility study be completed which would define the TIF area and denote the positive and negative impacts on all area taxing districts. McHenry Elementary School District 15, McHenry High School District 156, McHenry Township Fire Protection District, and McHenry Public Library District are receptive to proceeding with the feasibility study. Assistant Administrator Maxeiner noted Staff has prepared a resolution supporting a feasibility study to determine the boundary of a TIF District for the purpose of financing the McHenry Riverwalk Project. He noted approval of the resolution does not force the City to proceed with the TIF or the McHenry Riverwalk project. However, it would satisfy the second condition upon which Senator Klemm's monies were pledged. Motion by Bolger, seconded by Wimmer, to approve a resolution supporting the completion of a feasibility study on using a Tax Increment Financing District for the purpose of funding the McHenry Riverwalk Project.. Voting Aye: Bolger, Low, Murgatroyd, Wimmer Voting Nay: Glab Absent: None. Motion carried. SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTIES BY AUCTION Assistant Administrator Maxeiner reported the McHenry County Central Purchasing Department is conducting its annual auction on Saturday, September 15, 2001, at the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock. The City of McHenry has stated its intent to participate. An ordinance authorizing the sale of surplus municipal property must be passed prior to the sale of any municipal goods. Assistant Administrator Maxeiner stated a complete list of surplus property to be sold at auction is included in the attached ordinance. Motion by Glab, seconded by Low, to approve an ordinance authorizing the sale of surplus municipal property at the annual McHenry County Auction being held at the McHenry County Fairgrounds on Saturday, September 15, 2001. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Murgatroyd, Wimmer Voting Nay: None Absent: None. Motion carried. Page 10 8/28/01 ANNEXATION, MAP AMENDMENT TO RS-2 AND APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT —V3 REALTY IS RIVERSIDE HOLLOW SUBDIVISION City Administrator Lobaito reminded Council a Public Hearing on the annexation, map amendment and preliminary plat approval of the 54-acre Riverside Hollow Subidivison was held on July 11, 2001. He noted at the conclusion of the Public Hearing, Council directed the developer to meet with the Parks and Recreation Committee and Orchard Beach Home Owners Association representatives to address the following outstanding issues: • A 14.5-acre parkland dedication in lieu of park developer donations; • Development of Lot 97 as a tot lot; • Language to be developed and inserted in the Annexation Agreement regarding drainage issues; • Concerns regarding correction of drainage on Orchard Beach Road for storm drain nos. 3, 4 and 5; • Size of Lot No. 96 and specific engineering questions; • Architectural standards; • 25-foot right of way dedication. City Administrator Lobaito reported a Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting was held on August 9, 2001. The Committee discussed the issue of a 14.5-acre parkland .� donation in lieu of park developer donations. He noted it is the recommendation of the Committee to deny the request to accept the parkland donation. The Committee suggested the 14.5-acre parcel be dedicated as perpetual open space and under the control of the homeowners association. City Administrator Lobaito further informed Council that he, Director of Community Development Napolitano, Keith Blais, of V3 Realty, and Paul Dreiske, representative of the Orchard Beach Home Owners Association, met to discuss various unresolved issues. It was noted the Orchard Beach Home Owners Association appeared to be satisfied with changes the developer has made. City Administrator Lobaito noted the main concern was drainage to the Fox River. Mr. Blais assured the residents the drainage pipe leading to the river would be tested to insure its integrity. City Administrator Lobaito reported Staff has requested an Orchard Beach Home Owners Association easement to assure access for maintenance of the outflow from the detention pond to the river. Additionally, the Orchard Beach Homeowners Association have concerns regarding drainage along Orchard Beach Road and the size of the detention pond. City Administrator Lobaito noted Lot 96 was reduced in size by one half to meet the City requirements for storm water detention. City Administrator Lobaito stated the annexation agreement has been amended to reflect the dedication of Lot 97 as a fully improved tot lot. The developer will receive a —1 park donation credit for the land, 0.51 acres, and for the improvements, $50,000. City Administrator Lobaito further stated the preliminary plat has been amended to provide an additional 15' of dedication for Orchard Beach Drive, plus a 10' public utility Page 11 8/28/01 and drainage easement. Noting the existing 25' for Orchard Beach Road, there would be a 50 foot right-of-way, 40 feet for roadway expansion and 10 feet for utility easements. The developer has provided architectural standards to address such items as anti- monotony, colors and fences. Keith Blais of V3 Realty addressed Council concerning the 25 foot right-of-way issue. He explained previously the developer proposed a joint drainage easement to accommodate possible expansion of Orchard Beach Road. He stated the direction from Council and the Orchard Beach Home Owners Association was the joint drainage easement was unacceptable and a more permanent solution was preferred. The developer has agreed to dedicate a 15-foot right-of-way for expansion of Orchard Beach Road, as well as a 10-foot drainage easement along the east side of Riverside Hollow Subdivision. In conclusion, Mr. Blais stated the concerns of the Orchard Beach residents have been addressed, with the exception of the installation of a 5-foot high cedar fence along the backs of lots abutting Orchard Beach Drive. Alderman Bolger expressed his concerns with Paragraph 10 of the Riverside Hollow Annexation Agreement. He opined the wording is vague and inadequately protects the �-' residents of Orchard Beach. Mr. Blais responded to Alderman Bolger's inquiry stating the drainage outlets requested have been provided and oversized. Alderman Glab concurred with Alderman Bolger and inquired about the size of the pipe going to the Fox River and the size of the detention pond. Mr. Blais responded the pipe was 21-inches in diameter and the detention pond is one acre in area. City Attorney McArdle suggested the language within Paragraph 10 of the Annexation Agreement be revised to state "the developer will install storm water improvements in compliance with the City Engineer's direction". In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Mr. Blais stated the 5-foot cedar fence would be located along the eastern property line of Riverside Hollow Subdvision. Aldermen Low and Murgatroyd expressed concerns about fences segregating neighborhoods. Mr. Dreiske, Orchard Beach Home Owners Association spokesperson, stated the screening issue was discussed at numerous meetings. The Association's first choice was landscape or a berm. In response to Alderman Bolger's inquiry, Staff noted the Riverside Hollow Homeowners Association would be responsible for fence maintenance. Staff suggested the Annexation Agreement be amended to provide for matching gates and fencing. Mr. Blais suggested resolving the fence issue by leaving 387 feet adjacent to the detention pond unfenced, instead providing landscape screening to that area. He explained it would break up the expanse of the fence and allow access without Page 12 8/28/01 necessitating gates. Council concurred. Alderman Murgatroyd stated his concerns regarding park donations. He inquired if the reduction in park donations fees in the annexation agreement was in lieu of parkland or in-kind contributions. Mr. Blais responded this was correct. Alderman Murgatroyd expressed concern about the potential number of Rvierside Hollow building permits to be issued each year. He noted Paragraph 8 of the Annexation Agreement provides for a two-year build out. He opined a two-year build out on a development this size is intense.
