Director Napolitano responding to Alderman Glab's inquiry regarding the use variance concerning the apartment over the garage, stated the apartment is considered ar a non-conforming use and is permitted to continue indefinitely until that specific use is discontinued.

REQUEST FOR VARIANCE FROM BUILDING CODE, VALLEY VIEW COMMONS, 5435 BULL VALLEY ROAD Mayor Althoff stated a request has been received for a variance from the building code requirements regarding the smoke control systems for the building located at 5435 Bull Valley Road. Mayor Althoff recognized the petitioners, Jack Pease and Kathy Loos Shaw, together with James Schifiliti of Fire Safety Consultants, Inc. Responding to Mayor Althoff's request Director of Community Development Napolitano stated the building located at 5435 Bull Valley Road and known as Valley View Commons has been constructed with a three-story atrium. The 1996 BOCA Building Code adopted by the City of McHenry requires any building with an atrium connecting more than .two-stories have a smoke control system. He explained a smoke control system is designed to move smoke out of a building in the event of a fire. The Code requires the smoke control system be activated by three controls: 1. The activation of the automatic sprinkler system; 2. The activation of smoke detectors; and 3. Manual controls by the fire department. Director Napolitano noted the system installed in the building by the petitioners only .,� complies with Item No. 3, which is typically utilized by the fire department following extinguishing of a fire to dispel remaining smoke in a building. Director Napolitano informed Council the petitioners are requesting a variance, as June 3. 2002 Page 6 the cost to re-design and install the mechanical equipment required for the smoke control system would exceed $40,000. He stated the petitioners have engaged the services of a fire safety consultant who contends the automatic sprinkler system and smoke exhaust system currently installed in the building is adequate protection. Director Napolitano opined the issue could have been avoided had the architect or system designer consulted with the City, not the Fire Department, prior to designing and installing the current system. Director Napolitano stated Staff hesitates to support waiving any Code requirement dealing with the potential for loss of life. He considers smoke control in a building of this design with a three-story atrium a critical life safety issue. Staff suggested the petitioners consider the following options: • Redesign and install a system that meets code requirements; or • Enclose one floor of the atrium area, creating a two-story atrium. A two-story atrium does not require a smoke control system. Mr. Jack Pease, co-developer with Kathy Loos Shaw, of Valley View Commons, introduced Jim Schifiliti of Fire Safety Consultants, Inc. Mr. Schifiliti informed Council he has been involved in fire protection for approximately thirty-five years and has included 111 municipalities among his clientele. He advised Council he performed an evaluation on the building on April 16, 2002, based upon life safety issues. Based on a review of the --- existing conditions, and the small size of the building and atrium, Mr. Schifiliti opined the current sprinkler system and manual smoke exhaust system will provide the level of life safety necessary for people to evacuate the building safely. Kathy Loos Shaw informed Council the system .was designed according to a miscommunication regarding the building requirements. Ms. Shaw stated it would be a financial burden on the project to correct the error. City Attorney McArdle opined if a disaster occurs in the building, and smoke is part of the reason, and the City issued a variance on the ordinance making the building not in compliance with BOCA, there is no doubt the City would be a co-defendant in any lawsuit filed. Motion by Glab, seconded by Wimmer, to deny the request for a variance from the building code for Valley View Commons, located at 5435 W. Bull Valley Road. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Wimmer. Voting Nay: None. Absent: Murgatroyd. Motion carried. NO PARKING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF KANE AVENUE FROM GREEN STREET TO CENTER STREET Mayor Althoff stated a request has been received from School District 15 to amend the No Parking Ordinance to facilitate parking at the grade school. School District 156 has been notified and supports the change as long as No Parking is posted for Friday, June 3. 2002 Page 7 between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. to accommodate the Friday evening football games. Mr. Bob Ungaro, a representative of School District 15, responding to an inquiry from Alderman Glab, stated there are a number of parents involved with activities at the grade school level and parking is extremely limited in landlocked schools. Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Low, to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk's execution of an ordinance amending Chapter 13 of the Municipal Code, permitting parking on the north side of Kane Avenue from Green Street to Center Street, except on Fridays between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight, as presented.

RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT FOR THE 2002 STREET PROGRAM CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION WITH SMITH ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, INC. Director of Public Works Marcinko stated Smith Engineering Consultants, Inc. has submitted a contract for the 2002 Street Program observation. He observed material testing has typically been handled by the City during past street programs; however, due to the size of the 2002 Street Program, utilization of an engineering contract is more cost effective. 'L Director Marcinko noted in response to Alderman Glab's inquiry the engineering construction contracts typically range from 9% to 12% of the construction cost. Smith Engineering Consultants has submitted this contract at 10.4%, minus the material testing services. June 3. 2002 Page 8 Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Low, to approve the contract for the 2002 Street Program Construction Observation with Smith Engineering Consultants, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $168,270.05 Voting Aye: Glab, Low, Wimmer.

He stated there was no cost to the City of McHenry for the project.

Conservation Services of Woodstock, Illinois has submitted two proposals for the preparation of the applications for the grant programs: • The Motorized Boat Access Development $2,000 • OSLAD/Lawcon Park Development Grant $2,500 June 3. 2002 Page 9 .� Alderman Bolger opined the City has qualified individuals capable of grant document preparation. Director Merkel responded stating Conservation Services has the expertise required to prepare the documents. He also noted the magnitude of the documents required by the process is overly cumbersome due to state and federal requirements and would present a hardship to City Staff. Motion by Glab, seconded by Wimmer, to approve two contracts with Conservation Services of Woodstock, Illinois for grant document application preparation regarding the following projects: • The Motorized Boat Access Development, not to exceed $2,000 • OSLAD/Lawcon Park Development Grant, not to exceed $2,500 Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Wimmer.

Assistant Administrator Lockerby stated the budget has been approved by the House and the Senate and is before the Governor for his approval. Mr. Lockerby noted only the Photoprocessing Tax issue is included in the budget.
