REQUEST FOR USE OF PETERSEN PARK FOR ANNUAL CARNIVAL BY MCH LIONSENRY Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel informed Council the McHenry Lions Club is again requesting the use of Petersen Park for their annual Carnival, scheduled to take place June 5, 2002 through June 9, 2002. The Carnival is the Lions Club principal fundraiser and benefits individuals who are sight or hearing impaired. Director Merkel stated the Lion's Club requested park rental fees and sign permit fees be waived. Advertising signs would be posted at the following locations: • Route 31 and McCullom Lake Road • Route 120 and Ringwood Road • Route 31 and Pearl Street • Route 120 (on Bykowski Property) • Route 31 and High Street Alderman Glab opined the event benefited a worthwhile cause. He stated the signs should be erected no sooner than two weeks prior to the event and removed the day following the Carnival. Motion by Bolger, seconded by Wimmer, to approve the use of Petersen Park for their annual carnival on June 2, 2002 through June 5, 2002, March 18, 2002 Page 6 to grant a permit to allow the erection of temporary advertising signs at the following locations, subject to the condition that the signs be erected no more than two weeks prior to the event and removed the day following the event, and that all fees associated with the use be waived: • Route 31 and McCullom Lake Road • Route 120 and Ringwood Road • Route 31 and Pearl Street • Route 120 (on Bykowski Property) • Route 31 and High Street. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Murgatroyd, Wimmer. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. REQUEST FOR SIGN VARIANCE AMERICAN COMMUNITY BANK 1500 SOUTH ROUTE 31 In attendance was Mr. Frank Leo of Innovative Sign Design. Mr. Leo addressed Council stating a variance is requested to allow a freestanding sign having a height of 8 _. feet, rather than the permitted 6 feet. Mr. Leo noted the design of the sign is consistent with the design used at other American Community Bank locations and the additional height permits installation of landscaping at the base without negatively impacting the visibility of the sign. Responding to Alderman Glab's inquiry regarding how placement of the sign might affect Albany Drive should Route 31 be widened in the future, City Attorney McArdle opined the parties could stipulate the sign must be a minimum of 20.4 feet from the right of way. Mr. Leo assured Council adjustments would be initiated, prior to installation of the sign, to ensure the sign would be a minimum of 20.4 feet from the right-of-way. Motion by Bolger, seconded by Glab, to approve the request for a sign variance to permit an 8' high monument sign for American Community Bank located at 1500 South Route 31. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Murgatroyd, Wimmer. Voting Nay: None. Absent: None. Motion carried. REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE OF VEHICLES AND TRAILERS AND VARIANCE TO THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH REQUIRED IN THE 1-1 ZONING DISTRICT CORNERSTONE MATERIAL RECOVERY Mr. Steve Clements, owner and operator of Cornerstone Material Recovery, was in attendance and addressed Council. He noted extensive cleanup of the site has been done. He indicated he would like to construct a metal building and utilize the property to relocate March 18, 2002 Page 7 their business which is currently sited in Richmond. Director of Community Development Napolitano stated the property is designated as medium-density residential and commercial according to the City of McHenry Comprehensive Plan. Staff feels the use proposed by Cornerstone Material Recovery is good use at the present time. He noted some vehicles and trailers might be stored periodically at the subject property for repair or temporary holding purposes. Any vehicles will be setback at least 670 feet from Bull Valley Road and would not be visible from the roadway. Director Napolitano stated the Applicant is seeking a variance, as the lot width at the front building line is only 14 to 16 feet. The Zoning Ordinance requires a 200-foot minimum lot width along an arterial street. The gravel driveway is part of the subject property. The driveway cannot be expanded at this time due to adjacent business buildings abutting the driveway. The drive provides access from Bull Valley Road for several adjacent businesses. Mayor Althoff noted the unanimous recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals following a Public Hearing held on February 21, 2002, subject to the following conditions, and inquired if Applicant was willing to comply with the following five conditions: 1. The property shall be cleared of all debris and inoperable vehicles and/or equipment 2. There shall be no storage of anything other than vehicles or trailers on the property; 3. The applicant shall be required to meet the requirements of all City ordinances, including, but not limited to, paving, parking and signage; 4. The applicant shall permit the City of McHenry to drop off unwanted wood or metal items for disposal at the subject property; and 5. The conditional use permit shall be granted for a period of seven years, with yearly renewals thereafter, at which time, the applicant shall be required to come before the City Council to discuss future options with the City. Applicant stated his willingness to comply with the conditions imposed by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Alderman Bolger opined the appearance of the property has greatly improved, but expressed concern with Item No. 2. Responding to Alderman Bolger's concern, Mr. Clements stated there is a trailer on the premises used for storage of items dropped off for salvage. When the trailer becomes full it is hauled away for disposal. Motion by Glab, seconded by Bolger, to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the outdoor storage of vehicles and trailers, and a variance for the minimum lot width required -� in the 1-1 zoning district To Cornerstone Material Recovery, subject to the following conditions: I. The property shall be cleared of all debris and inoperable vehicles and/or March 18, 2002 Page 8 equipment 2.

DISCUSSION REGARDING NO RIGHT TURN ON RED FROM PEARL STREET ONTO NORTH RICHMOND ROAD --- Director of Public Works Marcinko summarized a proposed amendment to the Traffic Code for a no right turn on red at Pearl Street and Richmond Road. Director Marcinko stated this proposed amendment was initially presented to Council at its March 1, 2000 regularly scheduled meeting. Motion was made and died for lack of a second to amend the Traffic Code by prohibiting right turns on red at this intersection. Director Marcinko noted the issue was discussed at a Public Works Committee meeting in October 2001, assuming Riverside Drive would be completed and the impact of construction and rerouting of traffic onto Route 31 would be finished. Director Marcinko noted at the Public Works Committee meeting held this evening it was indicated Riverside Drive would not be completed until late May, 2002. Director Marcinko suggested the matter be revisited following completion of work on Riverside Drive. It was the consensus of Council to direct Staff to provide Council with information for review, and the subject of no right turn on red at Pearl Street and Richmond Road be revisited in September 2002, following completion of the work on Riverside Drive DISCUSSION REGARDING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PRIORITY LIST City Administrator Lobaito addressed Council stating a list has been compiled from the information received from the Mayor and City Council regarding the priority ranking of proposed Capital Improvement Projects for 2002/2003. City Administrator Lobaito informed Council the projects were divided into two categories, Non-Enterprise and Enterprise. Non-Enterprise projects would be funded through a variety of revenue sources, predominantly. General Fund revenues, with few exceptions.

If Council decides to purchase the system, Staff recommended a special service area be created to generate the necessary revenue to purchase the utility system. • North Interceptor Sewer (approved) • Sioux Lane Elevated Tank Painting • Design and Construction of Water Plant No. 5 (East of Fox River) -� CWWTP Expansion & Nitrification • SWWTP Expansion • Construction of Well #12 March 18, 2002 Page 10 • Main Street Sanitary Sewer • Water Utility Purchase • Design, Elevated Water Tank (West) • Water Source Study City Administrator Lobaito stated the specific funding amount for the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2002/2003 has yet to be determined. The Finance and Personnel Committee is scheduled to meet on March 201h and March 27th to discuss the proposed Fiscal Year 2002/2003 Budget. Based on available funds and funding sources, projects will be removed from the CIP, starting with the lowest priority project, until the budget is balanced. Alderman Murgatroyd opined the ranking is not definitive, but merely a tool to utilize while setting the budget. It was the consensus of Council to continue discussions regarding the priority ranking of the Capital Improvements Projects at the March 20, 2002 and March 27, 2002 Finance and Personnel Committee Meetings. BOUNDARY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MCHENRY AND THE VILLAGE OF MCCULLUM LAKE Mayor Althoff informed Council the Village of McCullom Lake trustees approved the proposed Boundary Agreement at their village meeting held on March 12, 2002. She noted the last revised proposed boundary map was distributed to the Council on October 11, 2001. At that time the north end of the Voss Property was inadvertently omitted from the MCCullom Lake boundary area. The oversight has been corrected. In response to an inquiry, Mayor Althoff stated the City makes no representation to provide sanitary sewer services during annexation discussions. Following a lengthy discussion regarding ownership of the lakebed of McCullom Lake, Director Merkel stated a portion of the lakebed is owned by the Village of McCullom Lake and a portion is owned by individual lakeside property owners, as determined by a lake study performed in 1995.
