RE: City of McHenry Refuse Hauling, Consent to Transfer Contract
ATT: -Consent to Transfer of Contract for the Collection and Disposal of Refuse,
Recyclable Material and Yard Waste between the City of McHenry and Prairieland
Disposal, Inc. dated August 1, 2017.
-Contract Article XII, Subcontracting and Assignment of Contract (Page 18)
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council to consider authorization of the approval of a transfer of contract for
the City of McHenry Refuse Hauling Contract from Prairieland Disposal, Inc. to GFL Illinois LLC .
BACKGROUND:
The City of McHenry has been under contract with Prairieland Disposal , Inc. for municipal refuse
hauling services since August of 2017. The current contract is a five (5) year contract which is in
effect until August 1, 2022. On July 1, 2021 , the City of McHenry was informed that Prairieland
Disposal was purchased by GFL Illinois LLC and that the current contract would be transferred
from Prairieland Disposal to GFL Illinois. GFL Illinois is owned by GFL Environmental Inc. which is
North America’s fourth largest environmental services company. The terms of the current refuse
hauling contract require the City’s written consent for the subcontracting or assignment of the
contract by the current hauler.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has had discussions with Steve Schweinsberg, the current President of Prairieland Disposal,
who will serve as a consultant for GFL Illinois in order to effectively facilitate the transfer of
services. Mr. Schweinsberg has confirmed for staff that the existing operation, services, and
pricing provided by Prairieland Disposal will remain unchanged upon the completion of the
transfer. Current personnel and equipment will also remain unchanged for the time being.

TO: City Council
FROM: Mayor Jett
RE: Landmark Commission Composition
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The City’s ordinance calls for the Landmark Commission to consist of twelve (12) members. The
Landmark Commission is unable to fill all 12 seats on the Commission, and therefore has an
issue with meeting the requirements of a quorum.
Analysis:
There are currently 8 members on the Landmark Commission. With a 12 member board, it is
necessary to have 7 of those 8 present at all meetings to have a quorum. With an 8 or 9
member board, it is only necessary to have 5 members present to have a quorum. In today’s
environment it does not seem likely that keeping a full 12 member board is feasible. A 9
member board is a more attainable goal and would give the Landmark Commission a better
chance at keeping a quorum for all meetings.
RECOMMENDATION:
A motion to pass an Ordinance Amending Title 10, Chapter 22, Section 10 -22-4: Landmark
Commission

CONSENT SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John R. Birk, Chief of Police
FOR: July 19, 2021 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Revision to Permit Parking Ordinance in Downtown Business District
ATT: Proposed Ordinance
Agenda Item Summary:
Staff is seeking City Council’s support to amend “Section 7-4-7 Permit Parking Only” of the
Municipal Code by creating two classifications of permit parking identified as residential permit
and business permit with an adjustment of permit fees. Staff will be present to answer any
questions Council may have at the meeting.
Background:
Currently the City of McHenry has permit parking locations located within the municipal parking
lots in the downtown business district. The original purpose of these parking permits was to allow
residents living above the downtown businesses and employee s of downtown businesses access to
parking that exempted them from the time restrictions (4 Hour Parking and/or no overnight
parking). As Council is well aware the City has been working to expand downtown parking as
past parking studies have confirmed that demand for parking has increased.
Within the last two years the City has built an additional municipal parking lot in the northeast
corner of Court Street and Venice and purchased two additional lots (some of which is existing
parking) along the Boone Lagoon between Green Street and Route 120. The addition of these
parking space has helped reduce the parking demand , but staff continues to examine ways to
maximize our parking resources while planning for more parking lot improvements.
Analysis:
One such way to maximize our on-street parking and priority municipal lot parking is to ensure
that we are actively promoting the use of permit parking for residents and employees of downtown
businesses. Proper use of permit parking will allow residents and customers better access to on
street and priority parking lot options improving community satisfaction.
Currently permit parking is available in the Riverside Drive North, Court Street, and Green Street
and Main Street parking lots with a total of 88 spots that allow for permit parking. To date in 2021
the City has only issued 32 parking permits.
12
As the demand for downtown parking for business customers remains high, staff feels that by
further encouraging the use of permit parking for business employees we can help to ensure that
on street parking and premium parking lot spots are more readily available to customers and the
general public.
Staff is recommending that the City Ordinance be amended to allow for two classifications of
permit parking.
1.Residential Permit Parking. Annual cost of $60 to remain the same. Allows for parking
in designated locations of municipal lots without 4 -hour restrictions or overnight
restrictions, except for snow removal. Proof of residency required.
2.Business Employee Permit Parking. Annual cost of $10. Allows for parking in designated
locations of municipal lots without 4-hour restrictions but does not allow for overnight
parking. Proof of employment required.
Staff recognizes that the locations of permit parking should be examin ed and adjusted in the near
future but only after finalized parking improvements have been made to both the Green Street
parking lots and Main Street parking lots. Once Council reviews and approves these parking lot
improvements, staff will return to council with a revised layout of the location and number of
permit parking spots.
Recommendation:
If Council concurs, then it is recommended a motion be considered to approve the attached
ordinance adding two classifications of downtown parking permits.

FROM: Troy Strange, P.E., Director of Public Works
RE: Knox Parking Improvements, Engineering Services Contract
ATT: City of McHenry Engineering Contract Document for Execution
Christopher B. Burke Engineering Scope and Fee Proposal
______________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council to consider awarding a contract to Christopher B. Burke Engineering,
Ltd. (CBBEL) for Professional Engineering Services for rehabilita tion of the Knox Park Parking Lot.
BACKGROUND:
The Fiscal Year 2021/22 Capital Improvement Program includes $580,000 from the General Fund
for improvements to City Parking Facilities. The two locations staff ha s identified for construction
of improvements this year are the parking facility at Knox Park and general parking improvements
to the City’s two parking facilities on Main Street. The resurfacing contract for the North Main
Street Lot was awarded at the June 7, 2021 City Council Meeting and construction is scheduled
to be completed by the end of this month. The remainder of the Capital Funding will be dedicated
for design and reconstruction of the parking facility at Knox Park. The scope of improvements is
to include full pavement removal, installation of concrete curb and gutter, minor re -grading to
remove an inver ted pavement cross section, landscaping, pavement markings, along with other
necessary and incidental work.
In order to construct the project prior to the pool reopening in May of 2022 , staff is
recommending an aggressive design and construction schedule which will allow the project to be
completed by the end of 2021. In order to meet this timeline , staff has issued a small startup
contract under the Mayor’s $20,000 purchasing threshold which includes surveying work and
geotechnical engineering. This wor k was initiated immediately at the beginning of July and is
currently underway. Provided that engineering work is completed on schedule, the project will
be bid and constructed in fall of this year.
16
ANALYSIS:
Staff ha s solicited a proposal and negoti ated the proposed scope and fee with the selected
consultant based upon project requirements, budget, and schedule. CBBEL is proposing a
comprehensive scope and fee of $62,674 which includes completion of all design services, plan
production, bidding assistance, and construction engineering. Staff has reviewed the scope and
fee and ha s found the proposed scope and fee to be acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is r ecommended to award a contract in the amount of
$62,674.00 to Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd . for Professional Engineering Services for
the Knox Park Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project.

drive. The existing lot is drained by overland flow to the perimeter ditches and/or towards an
inverted crown in the lot which outlets at the northeast corner.
Proposed improvements consist of reconstruction of the lot utilizing the existing aggregate base.
The lot will be raised in areas to eliminate the inverted crown, and all areas will pitch toward the
existing perimeter ditches via proposed curb and gutter depressions. The west, north and east
sides of the lot with be reconstructed with B-6.12 concrete curb and gutter. The reconstruction
of both the parking lot and the entrance/loop drives will consist of new hot-mix asphalt on the
existing and/or improved aggregate base course. No underground improvements are
anticipated to either the stormwater system or the existing lighting system. The overall parking
lot configuration will be maintained and updated to current ADA parking requirements.

Director Strange)
Steve from Prairie Land was present to explain the options that The City could change for a
new contract. Per Director Strange, The Council could negotiate a new 5 year term or go out
for proposals. Steve was present to go over those plans with The Council , since there is one
year left on the current contract. An option would be unlimited yard waste along with a spring
clean up day. Per Director Strange he asked for guidance from The Council .
Steve was also asking for input from The Council and what would be beneficial for th e residents
of the city. Mayor Jett opened the floor up to The Council.
Per Alderman McClatchy he questioned why recycling prices had tripled, as confirmed by Steve
from Prairie Land because China is not purchasing cardboard at the rate that it used to be, the
processing in the United States is not at that capacity yet.
Alderman Glab wanted to know what the city wide clean up limits are there, per Steve there is
no limit but no tv, electronics, tires or appliances. They do offer an elec tronic pick up but it can
be coordinated on the same day. Alderman Santi posed some questions on the amount of bulk
items, the answer is one b ulk item per week per house hold , Alderman Santi also
complemented the services of Prairie Land . Alderman Devine and many others on The Council
did want to go out for proposal again, many positive comments regarding Prairie Land. This
conversation went on for some time exploring ideas regarding the needs of the community
along with the options that can be added for s ervices, including ideas for senior discounts.
Mayor Jett asked for other ideas to be emailed to Director Strange.

REGU LAR AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin, Director of Economic Development
FOR: July 19, 2021 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Economic Incentive Agreement between Advance Rea l Estate Management LLC
and the City of McHenry
ATT:
1.Ordinance authorizing the Mayor’s execution of an Economic Incentive Agreement
between Advance Real Estate Management LLC and the City of McHenry
2.Economic Incentive Agreement between Advance Real Estate Management LLC and the
City of Mc Henry
AGENDA SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY:
Attached is an Economic Incentive Agreement between Advance Real Estate Management LLC
and the City of McHenry. Advance Real Estate Management LLC is the owner/management
company of the current shopping center that is home to Kohl ’s, Aldi, Michaels, etc. The
purpose of this agenda item and agreement is to provide assistance in completing substantial
improvements to the center (including the parking lot) which, in turn, will assist in the ability to
attract and retain te nants of the center. As additional information, currently, Five Below and
Ulta are seeking to rel ocate and this agreement will assist in ensuring that they rema in in
McHenry. Approval of this agr eement would assist in their relocation to this center , resulting in
the fill ing of currently vacant space and ensuring that the center remains vibrant. Staff is
proposing a sales tax rebate over a 20-year term to assist in improvements.
ANALYSIS:
The sales tax rebate would consist of a $75,000 annual rebate in addition to a n annual rebate of
50% over the 2020 base sales tax from the center, which was $195,744.78. This does not
include Kohl’s. The maximum rebate is capped at $1,500,000. These payments would go to
the landlord of the center.

The City C ouncil adopted an Economic Development Strategy in 2011. Below is the evaluation
criteria set forth by which requests, such as sales tax rebates, should be evaluated in that
policy.
Evaluation Criteria
Each request shall be generally evaluated based upon the following criteria.
1. Consistency with the City’s Economic Development Plan and Economic Development
Strategy.
2. Revenue benefit to the City.
3. Level of circumstances with the property characteristics that create challenges or
practical difficultie s regarding the development of the site.
4. Number and quality of jobs produced.
5. Strong public benefit to the City.
6. The ability of the development to spur additional economic development in the area.
7. The impact of a proposed development on the exi sting businesses within the City.
8. Level of applicant’s creditworthiness and financial strength.
9. Level of compliance with approved design guidelines and development standards.
Rebates should be considered very closely and on a case-by-case basis which has been the
policy of the City Council. Staff believes the proposed agreement is justified due to the
extraordinary circumstances surrounding the proposed relocation. The tena nt buildouts are
costly. Additionally, this will bring more traffic to the center and make the center more vibrant.
RECOMMENDATION:
If the City Council concurs, it is recommended the attached ordinance authorizing the
Mayor’s execution of the Economic Incentive Agreemen t between Advance Real Estate
Management LLC and the City of McHenry be approved.

REGULAR AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ross Polerecky, Community Development Director
FOR: July 19th, 2021 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Fence Variance for 3112 W. Lincoln Road , Munson Ski and Marine
ATT: Fence application, Site Plan, Fence Style
Agenda Item Summary:
The Community Development Department received a fence variance request from Munson Ski
and Marine located at 3112 W Lincoln Road. The request is to allow a 5’ setback along Lincoln
Road in lieu of the 30’ required setback.
Background:
Munson Ski and Marine purchased the former Watertower Marina in fall of 2020. A building
permit has been issued to build a brand new addition on to the existing showroom. This addition
will be used for additional showroom space as well as a 7000 plus square foot maintenance area.
Incorporated into this addition are bathrooms and showers that will be used by patrons of the
marina. The current conditional use permit allows for outside storage of boats and trailers, staff,
per city ordinance is requiring screening of the outdoor storage from Lincoln Road. Screening of
the outdoor storage prior to the current owner was in the form of a tree line along Lincoln Road,
the previous owner chose to remove the tree line and had plans to install a fence, and this was
not completed prior to the sale of the property to Munson Ski and Marine. Munson Marine is
planning on erecting an 8’ cyclone fence with privacy slats which is allowed by ordinance, the
variance request is for setback only.
Analysis:
The applicant is requesting a front yard setback variance, the red line depicted on the survey
shows the applicants re quest for the fence placement. The applicant is requesting a 5’ setback in
lieu of the required 30’. The 5’ setback would allow the marina to maximize the storage area,
screen it from the road and neighbors and supply a security barrier . If the fence is erected at the
5’ setback the fence would be 10’ from the edge of the bike path and roughly 32’ from the edge
of the road. The area depicted on the survey a s River Court was platted in 1928 with the

Huntersville subdivision and platted as a private Road. Munson Marine owns the property on
both sides of this platted road. The platted road that runs throug h this site was never developed
and has always been maintained by the owners of the marina. The applicant is requesting the
fence to cross this platted private road. The City annexed the Watertower Marina in 1995 which
included the platted River Court and the parcels labeled as parcel 7 on the plat. Huntersville
subdivision was not annexed into the city until 2004. The city has never formally accepted River
Court therefore it still remains property of the original owner when it was platted. City staff and
the attorney representing the marina have exhausted all means of finding any heir to the
Huntersville subdivision in an effort to have a quick claim deed or vacation of the property. Staff
is requesting City council allow this fence to be erected across River Court but with an agreement
that if it is ever challenged the fence must be removed.
Recommendation:
If the City Council concurs it is recommended that a fence variance be granted to Munson Ski
and Marine, 3112 W Lincoln Road to allow a 5’ front yard setback in lieu of the required 30’ to
place a 8’ tall cyclone fence with privacy slats.

1. Adult Use Cannabis Text Amendments:
Background and Changes from the May 17, 2021 City Council Meeting : At the May 17, 2021

Cannabis Regulations to attract a potential cannabis dispensary . Of the three (3) options
presented, City Council was agreeable to Option #2 summarized below:

After reviewing the proposed regulations with the City Attorney, it was determined that State
Statute would not allow municipalities to license dispensaries as originally proposed. The state
requires municipalities to regulate cannabis through zoning regulations and therefore the City
Council could not issue licensing similar to liquor . Staff have since revised these changes and
included some additional conditions to allow for co-location of the more industrial uses (craft
grow, transportation, infusion, and processing ) with a cannabis dispensary. These changes are
outlined on the next page:

Staff Analysis:
The original intent of the licensing mechanism for dispensaries was to prevent cannabis uses
within outlier areas of the City that were zoned C -3 Community Commercial and C -5 Highway
Commercial District such as on the northeast and northwest corners of the intersection of Bull
Valley Road and Curran Road. The goal is to locate dispensaries where the traffic generated would
have a positive spillover effect on adjacent businesses. Staff have placed a geographic restriction
on dispensaries limiting their location to C -3/C-5 zoned property that are adjacent to a State
Highway. This restriction along with not allowing them within 1000 feet of a school or day care
effectively eliminated the risk of dispensaries locating in the aforementioned outlier areas which
is illustrated in the map on the next page.
2. Text Amendments to §11-13-2 Residential Screen Strip Design Standards. Staff is proposing
minor changes to the residential screen strip landscaping design standards. The proposed
changes would eliminate the requirement that privacy fences must be locate d interior to
landscaping. Staff have run into issues with certain lot configuration s that would make
maintenance of said screened areas complicated. Staff is proposing to eliminate the placement
provision to allow staff to work with business owners to pla ce screening in areas that make logical
sense.
3. Text Amendments to §12-4-3 Submission of Preliminary and Final Plats for Simultaneous
Review. The City of McHenry Subdivision and Control Ordinance does not allow for simultaneous
review of preliminary and final plat of subdivisions unless certain parameters are met. Staff have
recommended developers in past developments apply for a variation from the review process to
allow for simultaneous review. Staff is proposing to eliminate this section entirely and replace
with new language. The new proposed language would eliminate the standards to determine if
a project qualifies to go through a simultaneous review process and replace with language that
would allow the Zoning Administrator the ability to determine on a case-by-case basis what
process would be most appropriate.

Unapproved Planning and Zoning Special Meeting Minutes
June 30, 2021
File No. Z-988
City of McHenry
Zoning Text Amendments to §11-6-18 Adult-Use Cannabis Business, §11-9-7 Permitted and
Conditional Uses in Commercial Districts, §11-10H -2 Table 2 Permitted and Conditional Uses, and
§11-13-2 Table 2 Residential Screen Strip Design Standards of the Zoning O rdinance; and Text
Amendments to §12-4-3 Submission of Preliminary and Final Plats for Simultaneous Review of the
Subdivision Control and Development Ordinance.
Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:45 p.m. regarding File No Z -988 a request
for various text amendments to the C ity of McHenry Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Control and
Development Ordinance.
City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staf f Report regarding this file stating The
City of McHenry originally approved its cannabis zoning regulations in September of 2019. Since
that time, Lake in the Hills was the only municipality in McHenry County to attract a Cannabis
Dispensary. Staff theorizes this was most likely due to allowing it as a permitted use in their
commercial district. Key provisions adopted by the City compared to what is allowed by State
Statue were presented.
Staff is also proposing minor changes to the residential screen strip landscaping design standards.
The proposed changes would eliminate the requirement that privacy fences must be located
interior to landscaping. Staff have run into issues with certain lot configuration s that would make
maintenance of said screened areas complicated. Staff is proposing to eliminate the placement
provision to allow staff to work with business owners to place screening in areas that make logical
sense.
Staff is proposing to eliminate the section on submission of prel iminary and final plats for
simultaneous review and replace it with new language. The previous two subdivisions have gone
through the process and only performed one hearing. The new proposed language would eliminate
the standards to determine if a project can go through the simultaneous review process and allow
the Zoning Administrator the ability to determine on a case -by-case basis what process would be
most appropriate. Replacement language was summarized and reviewed.
Planner Sheriff asked the Commiss ioners if they had any questions regarding the proposed changes
to the residential screen strip landscaping design standards or submission of plats for simultaneous
review. There were no questions or discussion by Commissioners.

www.cityofmchenry.org
Planner Sheriff went on to summarize the proposed changes to the Cannabis text amendments
stating research has indicated cannabis dispensaries have little to no impact on crime and shared
crime related articles and reports.
The City’s cannabis regulations allow for a maximum of t wo dispensaries as a conditional use in
property zoned I -1 Industrial, BP Business Park, and C -5 Highway Commercial District. The City has
approved one Cannabis Dispensary located on Prime Parkway in an Industrial Subdivision. Because
dispensaries are currently destination type retail uses, staff believes it is more appropriate to locate
them in retail commercial areas where the traffic generated would have a positive spillover effect
on neighboring businesses. The Lake in the Hills Dispensary is located in a commercial Subdivision
off Randall Road in a building that was occupied by a former restaurant. Currently, no cannabis use
types are permitted north of McCullom Lake Road. During the initial adoption, concerns were raised
regarding police response times in the event a criminal incident occurred at a site north of
McCullom Lake Road. State statute requires very strict security guidelines for businesses that
operate a dispensary. After consulting with the Chief of Police, staff is comfortable with eliminat ing
the geographic restriction north of McCullom Lake Road given how secure dispensary facilities are.
Staff is also proposing changes to some of the more industrial/manufacturing type uses such as
cannabis craft grow, transportation, and infusion busine sses. Craft grow, transportation, and
infusion cannabis uses are currently allowed as a conditional use in the I -1 Industrial District, BP
Business Park District, and C-5 Highway Commercial District. Staff believes these uses are
appropriate and should be allowed as a permitted use within the I -1 Industrial District, BP Business
Park District, but remain a Conditional Use in the C -5 Highway Commercial District unless co-
locating with a dispensary, which would then be allowed as a permitted use. Staff is als o proposing
to allow craft grow, transportation, and infusion businesses as a conditional use in the C-3
Community Commercial District when co -locating with a dispensary. A summary of the proposed
text amendment language was presented.
Planner Sheriff stated if the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with Staff’s recommended
changes to the Zoning Ordinance, then staff recommends a motion be made as presented in the
updated staff report, with corrections made 6-29-21 and presented by Planner Sheriff.
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the floor to questions and comments from the public.
There was nobody in attendance who wished to address the Commission with public comment.
Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 8:03 p.m.
Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Walsh inquired if any applicant been turned away prior to the request for these
changes. Planner Sheriff responded no, he just viewed it as an easier process aft er observing Lake in
the Hills process and it is preferred to attract a dispensary locally to help increase our sales tax

proceeds and also receive additional help for our local non -profit organizations such as the
Riverwalk.
Chairwoman Rockweiler inquired as to who makes the decision regarding which nonprofits benefit
from placement of a dispensary? Planner Sheriff responded it is the decision of the
applicant/owner. She asked for clarification to be made regarding what is allowed where specifically
on the map presented. Planner Sheriff clarified and stated the specifics are requirements by the
State.
Director Polerecky asked if the commission understood or wanted clarification on the different
types of cannabis-related businesses outlined. Clarificatio n was given.
Chairwoman Rockweiler asked if staff feels these changes will make the process easier for
applicants when licenses are finally issued by the state. Planner Sheriff responded yes, further
clarifying the city is not allowing any on -site consumption anywhere and our ordinance is more
restrictive than the State’s requirements.
There were no further questions from the commissioners.
Motion by Lehman seconded by Smale, with regard to File No. Z-988, to approve zoning text
amendments to §11-6-18 Adult-Use Cannabis Business, §11-9-7 Permitted and Conditional Uses in

The petitioner, G&A European Quality Pros LLC., (“Owner of Record”), is requesting approval of
a Use Variation to allow a Single -Family Residence in conjunction with a computer repair shop in
the C-5 Highway Commercial District at 4805 W. Elm Street. Formerly occupied by a se amstress

years. The City’s Nonconformities Ordinance does not allow a nonconforming use to be re -
established if discontinued for 30 consecutive days. The City’s Comprehensive Plan and
Development Policies recommend small residential lots on IL -120 be consolidated with adjacent
commercial lots to allow for more productive use. The Planning & Zoning Commission
unanimously recommended denial of the petitioner’s request.
If the City Council concurs, it is recommended the attached ordinance granting approval of a
Use Variation to allow a single-family residence at 4805 W. Elm Street be denied . (City Council
vote-simple majority)

Unapproved Planning and Zoning Special Meeting Minutes
June 30, 2021
File No. Z-989
G&A European Quality Pros LLC.
Use Variance to allow a single -family residence in the C-5 Highway Commercial District
Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:05 p.m. regarding File No Z -989 a request
for Use Variance to allow a single -family residence in the C -5 Highway Commercial District in
conjunction with a computer repair shop at 4805 Elm Street. Chair woman Rockweiler confirmed all
legal posting requirements have been met.
Anthoula Arfanitis, 4702 Ripon Rd., Crystal Lake, IL was sworn in and stated she is asking for a use
variance to lease the property to a tenant who wants to operate a storefront on the property while
living there.
City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating the
subject property was formerly occupied as a single -family residence in conjunction with a
seamstress business. It currently contains a vacant single -family residence and detached accessory
building. He explained the history of the current zoning of the property and the use being classified
as [legal] nonconforming subject to the regulations identified in the City’s Zoning Ordinance in
effect at that time
The petitioner is not proposing any changes to the existing site except for interior remodel. The
proposed computer repair business is allowed as a permitted use. The business will service
computers and cell phones by appointment only. There is room for appro ximately 1-2 parking
spaces in the front and to the side of the garage, which is in conformance with the City’s Off Street
Parking and Loading Requirements.
Planner Sheriff presented, in summary, staff believes the proposed commercial redevelopment is in
substantial conformance with the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance. The subject property is
approximately 0.275 acres which makes it challenging for many commercial land uses to locate
here. The property has remained vacant for several years. The Comprehensi ve Plan specifically
recommends, however, small lots located on IL -120 be consolidated to allow for uses that are more
productive. Approval of the request would negatively impact the ability of the City to consolidate
these smaller lots. Staff made the pre vious owner aware that the single -family residence would not
be allowed to be re -established without approval of a Use Variation. Staff is recommending denial
of the petition based upon the recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan.

no questions from any of the Commissioners.
Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Public. There were no
comments from the public. Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public comment portion of the
hearing at 7:08 p.m.
Planner Sheriff asked if any of the Commissioners could make a statement as to why they do not
meet the approval criteria. Commissioner Bremer opined the staff report was thorough and she
wanted to acknowledge the Comprehensive Plan recommendation for small lots located on IL-120
be consolidated to allow for more productive uses. If this were approved, she does not believe that
consolidation would be possible.
Chairwoman Rockweiler stated she doesn’t believe the request meets future land use planning.
There was no comme nt by the other Commissioners.
Motion by Bremer seconded by Smale with regard to File No. Z -989, to recommend denial of the
petitioner’s request for a use variance to allow a single -family residence in a C-5 Highway
Commercial District as outlined in the staff report, as presented, and by maki ng said motion, I agree
with staff’s assessment that the approval criteria for Use Variations have not been met as outlined
in the Staff Report.

Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY
The petitioner, G&A European Quality Pros LLC., (“Owner of Record”), is requesting approval of a Use
Variation to allow a Single-Family Residence in conjunction with a computer repair shop in the C-5 Highway
Commercial District.
The site consists of 0.275 acres, more or less, and is located approximately 160 feet west of the intersection of
W. Elm Street (IL-120) and McCullom Lake Road, with a common address of 4805 W. Elm Street (“Subject
Property”). The subject property was formerly occupied as a single-family residence in conjunction with a
seamstress business.
The property currently contains a vacant single-family residence and detached accessory building. According
to the McHenry Township Assessor’s Office, the single-family residence was constructed in 1963. City records
indicate at that time, the subject property was zoned R-3 Single Family District. In 1974, property owners
Carmelo Burrafato and Lorenza Burrafato petitioned the City to reclassify the subject property from R-3 Single
Family District to B-1 Commercial District which the City approved. Our records do not indicate the reasoning
for reclassifying the property except that it followed the trend of B-1 Commercial District development on the
east and west side of the property. The B-1 Commercial District does not allow single-family residential land
use. Therefore, the use would have been classified as [legal] nonconforming and would follow the regulations
identified in Article XX. “Non-Conforming Use” of the City’s Zoning Ordinance in effect at that time which
states the following:
“Any non-conforming use of a building, structure, or land which is discontinued for a period of six months or
more shall not be continued again…”
In 1986, the City underwent a comprehensive update of its zoning ordinance which involved the adoption of a
new zoning district map. This process involved reclassifying properties to match the underlying land-use,
location, as well as other trends in development. A majority of the properties along Elm St (IL-120) were
reclassified as C-5 Highway District because of their proximity to a state highway. There was no record of the
city or property owner changing the zoning classification of the subject property since the 1986 city-wide
redistricting. This change in zoning classification had no impact on the legal nonconforming use.
Regarding the legal nonconforming status of the single-family residence, the ‘86 zoning ordinance changed the
period of time a nonconforming use would sunset - from 6 months to no time frame. Therefore, once the use
had discontinued it was no longer allowed to reestablish. In 2008, the City Council amended this language to
include a 30 day buffer. The use would need to discontinue for a period of 30 consecutive days before it was
no longer allowed to be reestablished. It is staff’s understanding that the residence has remained vacant for
more than 30 consecutive days and therefore is unable to be reestablished without receiving a Use Variance
or a Zoning Map Amendment. Any new development would need to conform with the C-5 Highway
Commercial District Land Use Regulations.
123
The original owner of the property was made aware of the legal nonconforming status as indicated from the
zoning verification letter dated September 25, 2020. There is also a note in the City’s electronic property file
records that indicate the original owner was made aware of the nonconforming status as early as September
14, 2017.
CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Use Variances, listed in §11-19-6 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance.
STAFF ANALYSIS
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The future land use map recommends commercial land use on the subject property. The proposed single-
family residence is not in compliance with the future land use map recommendation.
CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING
The subject property is currently vacant and zoned C-5 Highway Commercial District. The property was
formerly used as a single-family residence in conjunction with a seamstress business.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is not consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan
objectives and policies. Staff comments italicized.
• Land Use, Objective – Allow a mixture of land uses in appropriate areas to promote responsible growth
while providing a high quality of life to the residents.
o Policy – “Preserve and expand areas of Commercial land use.” (p. 27)
Approval of the applicant’s request would complicate the ability of the city to realize new
development on the site. Being a smaller commercially zoned lot, the site is very limited in
terms of commercial uses that could utilize the space.
• Economic Development, Objective – Review development proposals to determine if the proposed
commercial zoning will provide a necessary benefit to the area and approve new commercial zoning only
where such benefit can be confirmed.
o Policy – “Small, isolated residential lots along IL Routes 31 and 120 should be consolidated and
redeveloped for uses compatible with adjacent development, preferably with assembled parcels
of 2 or more acres.” (p. 54)
The Comprehensive Plan recommends small residential lots on state routes should be
consolidated and redeveloped for further commercial use. Approval of the applicant’s
request would hinder the ability of the City to redevelop this section of IL-120.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
The petitioner is not proposing any changes to the existing site except for interior remodel. The proposed
computer repair business is allowed as a permitted use. The business will service computers and cell phones
by appointment only. There is room for approximately 1-2 parking spaces in the front and to the side of the
garage which is in conformance with the City’s Off Street Parking and Loading Requirements.
124
STAFF RECOMMENDATION & MOTION
In summary, the petitioner is requesting approval of a use variance to allow a single-family residence in
conjunction with a computer repair business in the C-5 Highway Commercial District. The subject property is
approximately 0.275 acres which makes it challenging for many commercial land uses to locate here. The
property has remained vacant for several years. The Comprehensive Plan specifically recommends small lots
located on IL-120 be consolidated to allow for more productive uses. Approval of the request would negatively
impact the ability of the City to consolidate these smaller lots. Staff made the previous owner aware that the
single-family residence would not be allowed to be re-established without approval of a Use Variation (see
attached letter). Staff is recommending denial of the petition based upon the recommendation of the
Comprehensive Plan.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with staff’s assessment then one motion is recommended:
MOTION: I motion to recommend denial of the petitioner’s request for a use variance to allow a single-family
residence in a C-5 Highway Commercial District:
AND by making said motion, I agree with staff’s assessment that the approval criteria for Use Variations have
not been met as outlined in the Staff Report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR USE VARIANCES (§11-19-6)
A.Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship.
Staff believes adequate notice has been provided to the original owner of the property who should have
made the current owner aware during the sale of the property as identified in the Zoning Verification
Letter dated September 25, 2020.
B.Reasonable Return.
Staff believes the property may generate a reasonable return on investment with uses that are allowed
in the C-5 Highway Commercial District by the Zoning Ordinance.
C.Unique Circumstance.
Staff believes this is not a unique circumstance due to the prior owner being made aware that the City’s
Comprehensive Plan does not allow the single-family residence to be re-established.
D.Not Alter Local Character.
The proposed use for a stand-alone single-family residence in the C-5 Highway Commercial District is
not desirable based upon the recommendations of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Development
Policies. The single-family residence is out of character with the surrounding commercial land use.
E.Consistent With Title And Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan specifically identifies that small commercial properties on state highways
should be consolidated for more productive use. Approval of the request would go against the
recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan.

RE: Zoning Inquiry – 4805 W. Elm Street
Dear Mr. Dowell,
Thank you for your zoning verification request for the property commonly known as 4805 W. Elm Street.
The property currently contains a vacant single-family residence and detached accessory building.
According to the McHenry Township Assessor’s Office, the single-family residence was constructed in
1963. Our records indicate at that time, the subject property was zoned R-3 Single Family District. In
1974, property owners Carmelo Burrafato and Lorenza Burrafato petitioned the City to reclassify the
subject property from R-3 Single Family District to B-1 Commercial District which the City approved. Our
records do not indicate the reasoning for reclassifying the property except that it followed the trend of
B-1 Commercial District development on the east and west side of the property. The B-1 Commercial
District does not allow single-family residential land use. Therefore, the use would have been classified
as [legal] nonconforming and would follow the regulations identified in Article XX. “Non-Conforming
Use” of the City’s Zoning Ordinance in effect at that time which states the following:
“Any non-conforming use of a building, structure, or land which is discontinued for a period of six months
or more shall not be continued again…”.
In 1986, the City underwent a comprehensive update of its zoning ordinance which involved the
adoption of a new zoning district map. This process involved reclassifying properties to match the
underlying land-use, location, as well as other trends in development. A majority of the properties along
Elm St (IL-120) were reclassified as C-5 Highway District because of their proximity to a state highway.
There was no record of the city or property owner changing the zoning classification of the subject
property since the 1986 city-wide redistricting. This change in zoning classification had no impact on the
legal nonconforming use.
Regarding the legal nonconforming status of the single-family residence, the ‘86 zoning ordinance
changed the period of time a nonconforming use would sunset - from 6 months to no time frame.
Therefore, once the use had discontinued it was no longer allowed to reestablish. In 2008, the City
Council amended this language to include a 30 day buffer. The use would need to discontinue for a
period of 30 consecutive days before it was no longer allowed to be reestablished. It is my
understanding that the residence has remained vacant for more than 30 consecutive days and therefore
is unable to be reestablished without receiving a Use Variance or a Zoning Map Amendment. Any new
development would need to conform with the C-5 Highway Commercial District Land Use Regulations.

Table 32(A) of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance provides that in recommending approval or
conditional approval of a use variance, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit to the City
Council written findings that all of the conditions listed below apply to the requested action.
Please respond to each of these conditions as it relates to your request.
1.Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship
The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance relating to the use of the buildings or
structures, or the use of the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience.
The property was previously utilized as a residential dwelling. Currently, the property is zoned for office
use only. Owner has received an request to lease the space as both residential and commercial in order
for prospective tenant to reside in the property as well as run an owner-operator PC repair and screen
replacement business. ___________________
2.Reasonable Return
The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed
by the Zoning Ordinance for the pertinent zoning district.
Owner has not received any feasible prospective tenants so as permit even a low rate of return on its
investment. With the current rental market owner reasonably believes granting a Use Variance will
permit the property to operate at its most useful means possible. The unique physical design of this
property particularly adapts to the highest and best use of the property.
3.Unique Circumstance
Special circumstances exist that are peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought which do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district.
Here, the property was previously zoned for residential use and occupancy therefore, prior utilization of
the property demonstrates and establishes the special circumstances which should not render this
application unreasonable.
135
FORM E Page 2 of 2
4.Not Alter Local Character
The granting of the use variance will not alter the essential character of the locality nor substantially
impair environmental quality, property values, or public safety or welfare in the vicinity.
Granting of this application will in-fact increase property value as the property is currently vacant and
unoccupied. Granting will increase tax revenue for the municipality as well as the County, may
potentially increase employment of the municipality. DCRTek as prospective tenant and
residential occupancy operates a personal computer and screen repair business which would result in
impairment of environmental quality and will not diminish public safety or welfare of the municipality or
county as a whole.
5.Consistent with Comprehensive Plan
The granting of the use variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in light of any changes conditions since their
adoption.
Granting of this Use Variance application with further the general purpose and intent of the City’s plan as
approval will permit a new business to operate in the property thus generating new tax revenue as well as
increase property value which may result in higher property taxes thereby further increasing the City’s
revenue and tax base.

5. The outdoor storage and display of vehicles shall be restricted to the northern mos t
parking lot as identified in the site plan. This restriction does not apply to the day -to-day
operations that may involve temporarily moving vehicles.
6. No vehicles shall be stored overnight unless located within the inventory parking area as
identified i n the submitted site plan.
7. The business hours of operations shall be restricted from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in
accordance with the Crystal Lake Road Sub-Area Plan.
8. Any building façade improvements shall be in conformance with the recommendations
of the C rystal Lake Road Sub-Area Plan.
9. No additional parking lot lighting shall be added unless required by federal, state, or local
law.
10. All other federal, state, and local laws shall be met.
At the June 30, 2021 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, f our members of the public spoke
out against the proposed development. The Planning & Zoning Commission discussion largely
revolved around how the proposed use will fit in harmoniously with the surrounding character.
Many Commissioners expressed similar reservations relating to what is typically associated with
large car dealerships on state highways such as bright lights, video signage, and the negative
aesthetic appearance generally associated with a used car dealership. Ultimately, the P&Z
members felt comfortable with the proposal based upon the existing buildings on site being
uniquely positioned to accommodate the business, the large setback of the storage area from
the front property line, the installation of additional trees at the front of the prope rty, and
restrictions being put in place regarding lighting, signage and operations. The Planning & Zoning
Commission agreed with staff’s assessment outlined in the staff report and recomm ended
approval of the request (Ayes: 5; Nay: 1; Abstain: 0) subject to the conditions outlined above.
If the City Council concurs, it is recommended the attached ordinance granting approval of a
Use Variation to allow an Open Sales Lot at 4502 W. Crystal Lake Road be approved . (City
Council vote-simple majority)

Unapproved Planning and Zoning Special Meeting Minutes
June 30, 2021
File No. Z-990
Kevin Naleck
Use Variance to allow an Open Sales Lot for the operation of a used car dealership in the C -2
Neighborhood Commercial District
Chairwoman Rockweiler called the hearing to order at 7:10 p.m. regarding File No Z -990 a request
for Use Variance to allow an Open Sales Lot for the operation of a used car dealership in the C -2
Neighborhood Commercial District at 4502 W. Crystal Lake Rd. Chairwoman Rockweiler confirmed
all legal posting requirements have been met.
Kevin Naleck, 815 Schneider Dr., South Elgin, IL was sworn in and stated he is asking for a
use variance to use this space to operate his small internet based used car dealership. He stated he
has been in business since 2015 and provides the community a c onvenient, honest, and affordable
location to purchase a used car. There would be no changes to the existing structures, no changes
to the existing parking lot, no effect on neighboring properties, and a vacant property would have a
new lease on life. This would be sales only location with all reconditioning being performed offsite
and outsourced to other small business. He has been searching for a property like this for a long
time and hopes to have the opportunity to serve the community and continue to bu ild the business
that provides for his family.
City Planner Sheriff provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this file stating the
petitioner is requesting approval of a Use Variance to allow an Open Sales Lot for the operation of a
used car dealership in the C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District. The petitioner is not proposing
any changes to the existing structures and parking lots. The site is in conformance with the City’s
Off Street Parking and Loading Ordinance. Staff did discover that the previous owner removed
several large trees adjacent to the customer parking area. Staff is requiring the petitioner replant
trees in accordance with the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance. The northern most parking lot is
where the petitioner will be storing vehicles. Staff feels the 186-foot setback from the property line
and the storage area would accommodate the storage of vehicles without negatively impacting the
local character. Staff is recommending that the overnight storage of vehicles shall be restricted to
the northern-most parking lot.
Planner Sheriff presented, in summary, staff is in agreement with the petitioner that the site is
uniquely designed to adequately accommodate automobile sales without detracting from the
community character. The primary concern is the overall look and feel of the site and its impact on
the surrounding area. Given the 186-foot setback distance of the storage area from the southeast
property line, staff believes the storage area would not negatively impact the surrounding
properties. The business relies on on line advertisement to market and sell vehicles as opposed to

large video signage that is traditionally associated with automobile dealerships. Staff is
recommending several conditions of approval to accommodate the request in accordance with the
Crystal Lake Road Sub-Area Plan. Planner Sheriff stated Staff is also recommending several
conditions related to landscaping, overnight storage, and signage to protect the surrounding
neighborhood character. Staff does not object to the petitioner’s request and reco mmends
approval subject to appropriate conditions.
Planner Sherriff stated if the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with staff’s assessment then a
motion is recommended, with the conditions as presented in the Staff Report. A resident contacted
the City regarding the proposed development but were fine with it once staff explained the request.
Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Sobotta asked if there would be trailers of vehicles unloaded at t he property. Mr.
Naleck responded no, and that all vehicles are obtained via personal pickup and delivery.
Commissioner Smale asked sales hours. Mr. Naleck stated 10:00 am -9:00 pm.
Commissioner Bremer requested a timeline on replanting of trees. Mr. Na leck stated he intends to
have trees planted soon after closing. On an additional question of security, Mr. Naleck responded
there would be basic security cameras and he hopes to reuse the bank cameras that were left in
addition to an alarm company.
Chairwoman Rockweiler asked if balloons and flag banners would be used on the property for sales
and promotions. Mr. Naleck responded no, all promotion is done online.
Commissioner Walsh asked if any repairs would be done on premises, what types of vehicles are
intended to be sold, and what attracted Mr. Naleck to this specific location? Mr. Naleck responded
that all repair work is outsourced other than small things such as replacing wipers etc. He added
that many of his customs come from the McHenry area and the layout of this property was a
perfect fit. He is not a typical car dealership that might rely on drive -by traffic. The usual vehicles he
sells are basic four doors, mostly one owner and clear titled vehicles.
Commissioner Lehman inquired about the a mount of walk -in traffic that might be expected and
how many cars he may typically house on the property. Mr. Naleck responded there may some but
very little walk-ins. He added there might be 30 cars total on the property and in the garage/storage
building combined.
Planner Sheriff asked Mr. Naleck to inform the commission and audience on the number of
employees at the business. Mr. Naleck stated it is primarily just him and possibly his father in law
occasionally.

Commissioner Bremer asked about a time line on meeting any conditions required for approval.
Planner Sheriff stated the applicant would not be issued a certificate of occupancy until all
conditions are met, and all will be addressed and defined after a walk through inspection with the
building inspectors.
Chairwoman Rockweiler invited questions and/or comments from the Public.
Terry Locke, 208 Windridge, McHenry was sworn in and stated most used car dealerships are
online. He opined this is not a fit for this area and asked why the commission would vote for this.
Commissioner Walsh replied that a vote has not been taken yet.
Mr. Todd Lowenheim, McHenry was sworn in and simply stated “Really?” with no further
explanation.
Mr. Gary Morley, 1001 Hilltop Blvd., McHenry was sworn in. He identified himself as an adjoining
business owner stating he does not feel this business is a g ood fit for the community neighborhood
and believes it would be better suited along Routes 31 or 120.
Mr. Andy Glab 5001 Oakwood Dr. was sworn in stating the area is zoned neighborhood commercial.
He opined that history shows it is commercial zoning whic h was originally intended for businesses
that would serve the neighborhood community. He further opined this is spot zoning – changing the
plan for a community property. He believes there are plenty of other areas more suited to this use
in a C-5 zoning district and this is not the right location to establish a precedence outside the
community plans for the area. He opined it would just put added strain on increased traffic in the
area especially with the new high school configuration. He further stated tha t he recognizes
development is needed in town but we should not continue to bend the rules just to get businesses
here, rather that proper planning should be utilized. He asked the commission to please consider
this and went on to welcome all the new board members.
Chairwoman Rockweiler closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 7:30 p.m.
Commissioner Smale inquired if many vehicle test drives are run. Mr. Naleck stated test drives are
by appointment only as a rule but it is not impossible to h appen on occasion.
Commissioner Lehman inquired as to the number of vehicles sold per month on average. Mr.
Naleck responded about 250 per year.
Chairwoman Rockweiler asked Mr. Naleck if he anticipates problems with traffic flow. Mr. Naleck
responded th ere is very little increased traffic and two people at a time is a busy day. Chairwoman
Rockweiler asked Planner Sheriff to clarify whether the future land use plan recommends this type
of use and/or whether staff feels this use is properly reflecting what is recommended. Planner

Sheriff stated not necessarily, but in light of several long -term vacant properties they would rather
see this economic use than another long -term vacant unkempt property.
Commissioner Sobotta asked if there are specific lighting regulations being imposed. Mr. Naleck
stated they would only use lighting already in place and formerly in use. Planner Sheriff stated
current ordinances must be followed and added the commissioners can add an additional condition
if they feel it is neede d. Discussion ensued.
Chairwoman Rockweiler asked for motion.
Motion by Sobotta seconded by Bremer with regard to File No. Z -990, to approve the petitioner’s
request for a use variance to allow an Open Sales Lot on the subject property as outlined in the staff
report, subject to the following conditions, as amended:

SStaff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY
The petitioner, Kevin Naleck (“Contract Purchaser”), is requesting approval of a Use Variance to allow an Open
Sales Lot for the operation of a used car dealership in the C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District. The site
consists of 2.0 acres, more or less, and is located on the west corner of the intersection of Lillian Street and
Crystal Lake Road with a common address of 4502 W Crystal Lake Road.
Formerly occupied by the First Midwest Bank with drive-thru, the petitioner is proposing to utilize the site for
the purpose of used car sales. The business, South Elgin Auto Sales, currently operates out of an industrial park
in South Elgin. The business’ primary method of marketing is through online advertisement and the petitioner
is not requesting any sign variations. The existing drive-thru would be utilized as a car port when customers
are processing the sale of a vehicle or when scheduled for a test drive. The overnight storage of vehicles would
be located in the northern most parking lot behind the principal building and adjacent to the large garage. The
petitioner would utilize the garage as a showroom and storage. The petitioner is not proposing to store any
vehicles in the parking lot adjacent to the principal building which would serve as customer parking. There
would be no more than two employees on site at a time. The petitioner has also agreed to install additional
trees along the customer parking lot that is adjacent to the principal building.
CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
x The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Use Variances, listed in §11-19-6 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance.
STAFF ANALYSIS
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The future land use map recommends commercial land use on the subject property. The proposed
commercial/retail auto sales use is in substantial conformance with the future land use map recommendation.
CURRENT LAND USE AND ZONING
The subject property is currently zoned C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District. The site was previously
occupied by a financial institution with a drive-thru. The primary concern is how the proposed use will be
compatible with the surrounding office, single-family residential, and commercial uses.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan objectives
and policies. Staff comments italicized.
x Land Use, Objective – “Promote development that blends with existing development in the area
especially if located within a unique sub-area”.
o The subject property is located within the Crystal Lake Road Sub-Area. Development should be
consistent with the plans recommendations.
x Crystal Lake Road Sub-Area Plan –
155
o "Building design for new, non-residential uses shall be consistent with the residential flavor of
the area. Hip and gable roofs are encouraged while flat roofs are discouraged. Construction
materials shall be primarily of brick or masonry." (p. 15)
The development is not proposing any changes to the site nor the exterior appearance unless
desired by the Commission or City Council. Any changes to signage or lighting shall be required
to conform with City Ordinances. Staff is also recommending, and the petitioner has agreed, to
plant several trees in front of the detention area. Four large shade trees originally occupied the
site but were removed sometime within the last two years. Staff have informed the petitioner that
a condition of approval will be to plant trees in accordance with the City’s Tree Preservation
Ordinance.
o "Lighting restrictions shall be considered with each proposed development to minimize light
trespass and glare on nearby residential land uses." (p. 15)
The development is not proposing any changes to the existing lighting on site. Staff will be placing
a restriction that will prohibit video screen signage.
o "Noise restrictions shall be considered with each proposed development to minimize impacts
on nearby land uses." (p. 15)
Previously occupied by a drive-thru banking institution, a used car dealership generates less traffic
than drive-thru oriented uses. The petitioner does not perform any automobile repair on site and
partners with third-party automobile repair shops to service/repair vehicles. A restriction will be
placed on the use to prohibit automobile repair and body work.
o "Hours of operation shall be restricted...Retail shall maintain hours of operation, including
loading and unloading, between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m." (p. 15)
The petitioner’s existing hours of operations are 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; however, staff will also
include this time restriction as a condition of approval.

SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
The petitioner is not proposing any changes to the existing structures and parking lots. The site is in
conformance with the City’s Off Street Parking and Loading Ordinance. Staff did discover that the previous
owner removed several large trees adjacent to the customer parking area. Figure 1 shows the original trees on
site in 2019 and figure 2 shows they have since been removed in 2021. Staff is requiring the petitioner replant
trees in accordance with the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance. The northern most parking lot is where the
petitioner will be storing vehicles. According to McHenry County GIS, the proposed storage area is
approximately 186 feet from the roadway as shown in Figure 3. Staff parked a vehicle and took a picture from
the property line in Figure 2. Staff feels the 186-foot setback from the property line and the storage area
would accommodate the storage of vehicles without negatively impacting the local character. Staff is
recommending that the overnight storage of vehicles shall be restricted to the northern-most parking lot.

SSTAFF RECOMMENDATION & MOTION
In summary, staff is in agreement with the petitioner that the site is uniquely designed to adequately
accommodate automobile sales without detracting from the community character. The primary concern is the
overall look and feel of the site and its impact on the surrounding area. Given the 186-foot setback distance of
the storage area from the southeast property line, staff believes the storage area would not negatively impact
the surrounding properties. The business relies on online advertisement to market and sell vehicles as
opposed to large video signage that is traditionally associated with automobile dealerships. Staff is
recommending several conditions of approval to accommodate the request in accordance with the Crystal
Lake Road Sub-Area Plan. Staff is also recommending several conditions related to landscaping, overnight
storage, and signage to protect the surrounding neighborhood character. Staff does not object to the
petitioner’s request and recommends approval subject to appropriate conditions.

If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with staff’s assessment then the following motion is
recommended:
MOTION: I motion to approve the petitioner’s request for a use variance to allow an Open Sales Lot on the
subject property subject to the following conditions:
1. The development shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted site plan.
2. Automobile repair and bodywork is prohibited on site.
3. The petitioner shall work with the Zoning Administrator to replant no less than four (4) appropriately sized
shade trees along the southeast portion of the customer parking area in accordance with the City’s Tree
Preservation Ordinance.
4. All video signage shall be prohibited.
5. The outdoor storage and display of vehicles shall be restricted to the northern most parking lot as identified
in the site plan. This restriction does not apply to the day-to-day operations that may involve temporarily
moving vehicles.
6. No vehicles shall be stored overnight unless located within the storage/display area.
7. The business hours of operations shall be restricted from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in accordance with the
Crystal Lake Road Sub-Area Plan.
8. Any building façade improvements shall be in conformance with the recommendations of the Crystal Lake
Road Sub-Area Plan.
9. All other federal, state, and local laws shall be met.
AND by making said motion, I agree with staff’s assessment that the approval criteria for Use Variations have
been met as outlined in the Staff Report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR USE VARIANCES (§11-19-6)
A. Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship.
Staff believes the strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in an
unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant. The petitioner would otherwise not be able to
utilize the property for said use.
B. Reasonable Return.
Staff believes the subject property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under
the conditions allowed by the regulations. The city has experienced several bank sites sitting vacant for
a number of years as online banking has shifted consumer preferences.
C. Unique Circumstance.
Staff believes the site design, layout, and large garage are uniquely positioned to accommodate the
use.
D. Not Alter Local Character.
Staff does not believe approval of the request will generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding
area. Staff believes the proposed restrictions and approximate 186-foot setback distance from the
property line will protect and preserve the local character along with the tree planting requirement.
E. Consistent With Title And Comprehensive Plan.
The developer is proposing commercial use and the Future Land Use Map recommends commercial land
use. Staff believes the overall request is consistent with the Title and Comprehensive Plan.

Hello, short description of the proposed plan for the closed bank located at 4502 Crystal Lake Rd.,
Mchenry. With your permission I would like to use this space to operate my small internet based used
car dealership. We have been in business since 2015 and provide the community a convenient,
honest, and affordable location to purchase a used car. There would be no changes to the existing
structures, no changes to the existing parking lot, no effect on neighboring properties, and a vacant
property would have a new lease on life. This would be a sales only location with all reconditioning
being performed offsite and outsourced to other small business. I have been searching for a property
like this for a long time and hope you are willing to give me the opportunity to serve the community
and continue to build the business that provides for my family.

USE VARIANCE
Planning and Zoning Commission
City of McHenry
333 South Green Street à McHenry, IL 60050 à Tel: (815) 363-2170 à Fax: (815) 363-2173
Table 32(A) of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance provides that in recommending approval or
conditional approval of a use variance, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit to the City
Council written findings that all of the conditions listed below apply to the requested action.
Please respond to each of these conditions as it relates to your request.
1. Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship
The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance relating to the use of the buildings or
structures, or the use of the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience.
The proposed use requires a "Use Variance" no matter the location in McHenry County. This
zoning ordinance makes this process unavoidable for the proposed use.
2. Reasonable Return
The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed
by the Zoning Ordinance for the pertinent zoning district.
Thanks to online banking services many brick and mortar locations continue to close, over 3300
banks closed in 2020 alone. This property could remain vacant and eventually diapidate not only
generating no return but becoming a hazard to the community.
3. Unique Circumstance
Special circumstances exist that are peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought which do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district.
This Property is unique in the fact that it offers the perfect layout for the purposed use. With a
private entrance, exit, indoor showroom space, sales office, and ample parking transitioining this
vacant space into an operating retail auto sales makes perfect sense.
4. Not Alter Local Character
The granting of the use variance will not alter the essential character of the locality nor substantially
impair environmental quality, property values, or public safety or welfare in the vicinity.
The granting of a variance will not alter the character, impair environmental quality, property
values, public saftey, or welfare in the vicinity. Granting the variance will allow a vacant property
to serve a new purpose supporting the community. The new business is primarily internet based, it
requires no changes to the existing layout and the existing structures are a perfect fit.
164
FORM E Page 2 of 2
5. Consistent with Comprehensive Plan
The granting of the use variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in light of any changes conditions since their
adoption.
This property is zoned for commercial use and according to the long term comprehensive plan it
will remain commercial in the future.
