Mr. Mang stated on August 15th Union Pacific would like to host the 10th Annual For the Children Handcar Races in the city's Petersen Park. Mr. Mange reported at last year's even the organization raised more than $12,000 through the handcar races. Monies were donated to the Flight for Life Helicopter for the purchase of a ventilator which will be mounted in the helicopter. Beneficiaries of this year's event will be the Flight for Life Helicopter and two children's hospitals. Mr. Mang concluded in addition to use of the park, the organization is requesting waiver of all associated fees so that all monies raised can be donated to the beneficiaries. Alderman Glab arrived at 7:35 p.m. In response to Alderman Glab's inquiry, Mayor Low stated the request is for the use of Petersen Park for the handcar races and all associated fees. Motion by Bolger, seconded by Wimmer, to approve the request for the use by Union Pacific Railroad of Petersen Park and the waiver of all associated fees, for the 10th Annual For the Children Handcar Races to be held on August 15, 2004. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: Murgatroyd. Motion carried. REQUEST FOR VARIANCE FROM MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 7-27, MINIMUM FLOOR ELEVATION, LOT 64 IN MARTIN WOODS UNIT 11 In attendance representing the property owners Brian and Anita Matheson was Attorney Steven Cuda. Director of Community Development Napolitano stated should Council approve the variance request to construct a residence at a floor elevation less than that required by the June 14, 2004 Page 3 city's Municipal Code, Staff will record and ordinance against the property to alert any all future property owners of the granting of the variance. The recorded ordinance would assure that any future property owners would be alerted to possible risks due to the reduced structure elevation. Attorney Cuda stated the applicants concur with Staffs request that the ordinance be recorded against the property. Attorney Cuda noted that pursuant to review of the engineering, the proposed elevation is one foot below the seasonal high water level. Alderman Glab inquired if the ordinance would be recorded against the property to alert any future property owners. Attorney Cuda responded in the affirmative. Alderman Glab stated the ordinance should be recorded with the county prior to any building permit being issued by the city. In response to Alderman Condon's inquiry, City Administrator Maxeiner stated the ordinance would be recorded against the property in order to protect the city from any culpability should any flooding occur as a result of the variance being granted. Motion by Bolger, seconded by Wimmer, to accept Staffs recommendation to approve the request for a variance from the city's Municipal Code Section 7-27, permitting a reduced minimum floor elevation on Lot 64 in Martin Woods Unit II, to direct Staff to draft an ordinance granting the requested minimum floor elevation ordinance, subject to the ordinance being recorded against the subject property prior to any building permit being issued by the City of McHenry. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: Murgatroyd. Motion carried. REQUEST FOR SIGN VARIANCE, VALLEY VIEW COMMONS, 5435 BULL VALLEY ROAD In attendance was Jack Pease, owner and developer of Valley View Commons located at 5435 Bull Valley Road. Director Napolitano stated the request before Council is for an additional free- standing sign for the Valley View Commons complex. There is currently a development sign located at the Bull Valley Road entrance. The request for a second sign to be located alO09 Crystal Lake Road and would be for a specific tenant in the complex. Director Napolitano noted the complex has two entrances: one at Bull Valley Road; a shared entry with BP Amoco at Crystal Lake Road. Director Napolitano expressed concerns that the request is for a second sign for a single tenant. He suggested it would be more appropriate to allow a second multi-tenant sign for the entire complex as opposed to a single tenant sign. Mr. Pease explained the units in the three-story section of the complex encounter difficulty in having customers locate their site, particularly those units which have exterior entries only. Mr. Pease noted the exterior entrance to the unit in question is not the June 14, 2004 Page 4 common entrance for the three-story portion of the building. Mr. Pease stated the proposed sign is fifteen square feet and would be mounted just three feet from the ground. Mr. Pease in concluding stated he would not mind the city placing a condition on the sign variance indicating this would be the last free-standing sign permitted on this property. Motion by Condon, seconded by Peterson, to approve a sign variance to allow a 3' X 5' free-standing sign along Crystal Lake Road advertising "Allstate Insurance" in the unit located at 5435 Bull Valley Road in Valley View Commons. ' Alderman Condon acknowledged the property owner's attempt to assist a tenant with advertising. However, the tenants may change and an additional request for sign variance would possibly come before Council. Approval of this request would be precedent--setting. Alderman Condon suggested a directory sign for all businesses along Crystal Lake Road in Valley View Commons would be more appropriate. In the alternative, Alderman Condon stated a dual sign advertising both Allstate Insurance and Supermix, the other business which has its sole entry from the exterior east side of the building. Some discussion followed regarding the best option for additional signage on the site. Alderman Bolger stated this is a nice business center and opined it should remain as such. Allowing the requested sign variance would be precedent-setting to allowing twenty more signs. He concurred with Staff. Two multi-tenant signs should be constructed at the entrances. -- Alderman Glab noted additional right-of-way will ultimately be required for Crystal Lake Road. In response to his inquiry, Mr. Pease stated the proposed sign location is setback 8' from the east property line. Alderman Glab stated he would prefer a small monument sign at the Crystal Lake entrance or an Allstate wall sign. He is not in favor of a one-user sign off the roadway. He would support a multi-tenant sign and the entrance. Alderman Peterson inquired the distance from the proposed sign location to the BP Amoco entrance on Crystal Lake Road. Alderman Peterson stated traffic from the north would not see the sign in time to make the turn. In response to Alderman Peterson's inquiry, Mr. Pease stated there would be a direct entrance to Valley View Commons from Crystal Lake Road within the next two years. Discussion continued. Alderman Condon expressed her concern with a single tenant sign at this location. She is opposed to any wall signs on the building. She concurred with Alderman Peterson's suggestion that the sign be located in closer proximity (approximately 70' north) to the future direct entry to Valley View Commons. Motion by Condon, seconded by Peterson, to amend the previous motion by moving the location of the proposed sign to a point 20' south of the northeast property corner, approximately 70' north in closer proximity to the future direct entrance to Valley View Commons from Crystal Lake Road, and that the sign be made available for two tenants, whether both tenants choose to advertise on it or not. June 14, 2004 Page 5 Alderman Glab requested more explicit clarification as to the proposed location of the sign. He also stated he was not in favor of a blank sign face being displayed. Alderman Glab suggested a monument sign be constructed advertising both businesses with exterior entries. The sign could be incorporated into existing landscaping closer to the building. Alderman Condon withdrew her previous motions. Motion by Condon, seconded by Peterson, to approve a sign variance to allow a 30 square foot monument sign to be located 8' behind the curb at the sidewalk heading toward unit 124 and unit 130 of Valley View Commons, to advertise only the businesses located in those units. Voting Aye: Glab, Low, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: Bolger. Absent: Murgatroyd. Motion carried. REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY USE PERMIT FROM MID-AMERICA MANAGEMENT FOR GARDEN QUARTER RESOURCE CENTER MODULAR BUILDING In attendance was Mr. David Engelke, Assistant Vice President of Mid-America Management Company, Managing Agent for Garden Quarter Apartment Complex. Mayor Low clarified that the request before Council this evening is for a temporary use to allow an educational resource center, not a recreation center, at Garden Quarter. The purpose of the resource center is to provide a site for tutoring children and teaching English as a Second Language, as well as a place where residents can seek assistance from bi-lingual staff to help them manage their finances, etc. Mr. Engelke addressed Council noting Mid-America Management is seeking a temporary use permit to allow a modular building to expand the existing resource center located in Garden Quarter Apartment Complex. Mr. Engelke stated Mid-America currently has ten resource centers in operation at various apartment complexes in the greater Chicagoland area. The resource centers have been beneficial to apartment residents and the community in general. Mr. Engelke noted the number of police calls where resource centers are in operation has been greatly reduced. In conclusion, Mr. Engelke stated the size of the proposed modular building is 24' (wide) X 36' (long) X 14' (high) at the north end of building 4502 Garden Quarter Drive. rya, Director Napolitano stated if the request for temporary use permit is approved, Staff suggests: • Preservation of the large mature oak trees on the premises; • Place a one-year time limit on the use, with the potential for Council evaluation and renewal at that time. -� Alderman Bolger inquired if the modular building would be hooked up with water, sewer, heat, electric, etc. Mr. Engelke stated the building would only be connected with electric services. The apartment adjacent to the modular building would have HVAC, water June 14, 2004 Page 6 and sewer facilities and would serve as a portion of the resource center. — Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Condon, to accept Staffs recommendation and approve a temporary use permit to allow a modular building at 4502 Garden Quarter Road in the Garden Quarter Apartment Complex, for a period of one year, with annual renewals following Council evaluation, and that measures be taken to preserve the large mature oak trees on the premises. Alderman Wimmer noted the temporary use has been presented to Council on several occasions, and he is prepared to take formal action at this time. Alderman Peterson suggested the modular unit be sited at another location where it would cause less interference with neighbors. In response to Alderman Peterson's inquiry, Director Napolitano stated requiring a sidewalk leading to the modular building would be up to Council's discretion. Alderman Peterson expressed concern regarding available parking for the resource center. Mr. Engelke responded parking needs would be minimal. Mr. Engelke indicated the modular unit would connect with the apartment via a ramp. Some discussion followed regarding placement of the HVAC units and potential aesthetic impact on neighbors. Alderman Condon applauded the Police Department for establishing the resource center. She noted a presentation was made before the District 15 school board and she was extremely impressed with the program. She stated the building is not open 24 hours per day. Mr. Engelke confirmed resource center hours are 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Monday through Friday. Alderman Condon stated her support of the program and the need for expanding the space from the existing small apartment. Mayor Low noted the Site Director, Christie Mashenie, was in attendance. Ms. Mashenie provided a brief overview of the services provided at the resource center. She noted the community has responded very positively to the center. Alderman Bolger stated the resource center should be maintained at its present location in the apartment where restroom facilities are available. Mr. Engelke responded the resource center would continue to be utilized. Its area would be expanded to include the modular building in order to provide services to more of the residents. Restroom facilities would be available in the apartment for all users of the resource center. Alderman Wimmer asked for clarification regarding the proposed apartment location. Mr. Engelke stated the resource center apartment is relocating from 4508 to 4502 Garden Quarter Road. The ramp would connect the modular building to the patio of 4502. Alderman Glab expressed concern regarding the proposed location of the resource center, particularly the modular building. Alderman Glab, citing language contained in the Zoning Ordinance, stated a temporary use does not permit a temporary structure. He also noted a temporary use is a principle or accessory use that is established for a period of less than one year. He opined the matter should be brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission for recommendation to Council. June 14, 2004 Page 7 Alderman Glab concurred with Alderman Peterson, suggesting a different location would be more appropriate. A site closer to the rental office would better suit the neighborhood. Alderman Glab expressed concern regarding residents who utilize the resource center parking in the Whispering Oaks Community Center Parking Lot. Alderman Glab stated his support of the resource center but objects to the proposed location. He reasserted his belief that the matter should be presented before the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and recommendation prior to Council consideration. Mr. Engelke stated Mid-America Management intends to increase the parking lot lighting and security, as well as provide landscaping improvements. Alderman Glab expressed concern regarding potential light pollution-caused by the increased illumination in the parking lot. Some discussion followed regarding the size of the modular building. Mr. Engelke again stated the positive impact of resource centers in apartment complexes, citing the center in the Woodstock apartment complex. Mayor Low stated as Ward 3 Alderman that the city has many modular units being utilized throughout the community, adjacent to school buildings in close proximity to residential neighborhoods. Mayor Low visited the site and stated the proposed location is acceptable. Placement of the resource center at this location is in the best interest of the residents. Mayor Low noted the resource center will continue to be monitored very closely by the Police Department. She stated her strong support of the program and placement of the modular unit adjacent to the 4502 apartment building. Alderman Wimmer noted two modular units have been sited behind Duker School in close proximity to residences. There have been no complaints from area neighbors. Alderman Peterson maintained his opinion the proposed location is not the best site for the modular building. He does not support the proposed location. He deemed a centralized location of the building would be preferable. Alderman Condon expressed her support of the resource center. Noting Staff's recommendation for a one-year term for the temporary use, subject to annual renewals, she stated if problems occur as a result of the use, it could be,terminated at that time. Alderman Bolger concurred with Alderman Peterson regarding the planned location of the modular building. He encouraged relocating the resource center to the middle unit of the building. Alderman Glab restated his position that a temporary use does not allow a temporary structure. He requested clarification from Attorney Fetzner regarding the Zoning Ordinance definition of temporary use. Alderman Wimmer withdrew his motion. June 14, 2004 Page 8 Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Condon, to table the matter until a later meeting when more information is available. Voting Aye: Bolger, Low, Wimmer, Condon. Voting Nay: Glab, Peterson. Absent: Murgatroyd. Motion carried. Mayor Low stated the matter will be brought back for further Council consideration following research of the temporary use zoning issue. 1. ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF MCHENRY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT 15 RECAPTURE AGREEMENT Director Napolitano reminded Council three years ago when McHenry Elementary School District 15 annexed the Hilltop School and Middle School Property, the city agreed to enter into a recapture agreement for sewer and water improvements which were oversized by District 15 in developing the Middle School Property. For Council consideration at this meeting is the resulting recapture agreement between the City of McHenry and Elementary School District 15. Director Napolitano stated it is Staffs recommendation to approve and authorize the Mayor's execution of the recapture agreement. Alderman Bolger inquired what areas would be subject to recapture. Director Napolitano responded a map attached to the proposed agreement outlines the affected properties. Motion by Condon, seconded by Wimmer, to accept Staffs recommendation to approve and authorize the Mayor's execution of a recapture agreement between the City of McHenry and McHenry Elementary School District 15 for over sizing water and sewer improvements in developing the McHenry Middle School Property. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: Murgatroyd. Motion carried. ORDINANCE AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 14-11 CURFEW City Administrator Maxeiner stated the modification of the city's curfew ordinance stems from a legal case which invalidated a portion of the city's curfew ordinance. A draft revision was provided by Attorney McArdle to correct the invalidated portion of the ordinance. Attorney Fetzner stated the court case ruled that children under the age of eighteen do have a right to participate in the first amendment rights, i.e. going to a political rally, or religious event. In the court's opinion it was suggested some of those exceptions should be included in local ordinances. The ordinance before Council for review and consideration includes some of those state exceptions. June 14, 2004 Page 9 Alderman Bolger inquired if there were curfew violations on a regular basis. Chief of Police O'Meara responded there are some violations but not disproportionate to the cty's �— population. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Condon, to approve an ordinance amending the curfew ordinance contained in the Municipal Code Chapter 14, Section 14-11 as recommended by Counsel. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: Murgatroyd. Motion carried. ORDINANCE AMENDING TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE CODE CHAPTER 13, SECTION 13- 903 REGARDING MOTORIZED SKATEBOARDS AND SCOOTERS City Administrator Maxeiner informed Council that the City of McHenry, together with the entire region, has witnessed a proliferation of motorized scooters and skateboards on the City's streets and sidewalks. He noted the retailers market the vehicles as not requiring a state vehicle license for operation. Consequently, unlicensed drivers have been observed operating the motorized scooters on city streets at speeds of up to 30 mph. City Administrator Maxeiner stated that the Police Department has raised concerns regarding the safety of pedestrians, other motorists and the operators themselves. In an effort to address those concerns, the City Attorney drafted an ordinance amending the �-- Traffic and Motor Vehicle code to restrict motorized scooters and skateboards from operating on city streets, sidewalks, public parking lots and parks. He noted the proposed ordinance defines motorized scooters as all-wheeled vehicles not licensed for use on public roads when powered by gas or electric motors. The proposed ordinance establishes fines for violations and allows for impoundment of the vehicle after three violations within a 12-month period of time. City Administrator Maxeiner noted ordinarily an item of this nature would be presented to the Public Works Committee; however, due to the potential danger posed to the motoring and walking public by the careless operation of these vehicles, Staff is requesting immediate consideration and implementation of the ordinance by Council. Alderman Condon expressed concern that the ordinance is overly restrictive. She opined it would be unfortunate if the responsible riders were penalized for the actions of the rfew inconsiderate individuals. Acknowledging the potential for a dangerous situation, Alderman Condon suggested the ordinance be modified to address restrictions solely on public roadways. Mayor Low stated she has personally observed operators of scooters on sidewalks behaving in a deliberately inconsiderate manner to pedestrians on more than one occasion. Responding to an inquiry, Chief of Police O'Meara stated the motorized scooters are particularly dangerous on the sidewalks. Not only are pedestrians at risk when the June 14, 2004 Page 10 scooters and skateboards are on sidewalks, individuals pulling out of driveways have --- insufficient time to react, if a collision is imminent, due to the speeds the vehicles are able to attain. He noted Police Officers are unable to enforce any restrictions without an ordinance. Alderman Wimmer stated it is his understanding that the battery-operated scooters do not exceed 15 mph. He concurred with Alderman Condon regarding the overly restrictive content of the ordinance. ` Motion by Glab, seconded by Bolger, to approve an ordinance amending the city's Municipal Code, Traffic and Vehicle Code Chapter 13, Section 13-903 regarding motorized skateboards and scooters. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Peterson. Voting Nay: Wimmer, Condon. Absent: Murgatroyd. Motion carried. FREUND FIELD PHASE III RENOVATIONS CHANGE ORDER NO 2 Assistant Administrator Lockerby addressed Council noting the amount of the change order regarding the Freund Field Phase III Renovations was incorrectly stated in the Agenda Supplement and should read $24,251.91. The cost was reduced due to the use of recycled concrete in place of gravel. Assistant Administrator Lockerby also noted y the presence of an overabundance of rich soil causes a need to extract it and replace it with usable parking lot materials. He stated the rich soils will be utilized in other park projects. Alderman Condon expressed her concern regarding increased expenses for this project and questioned why the soils condition was not known as a result of engineering completed prior to the commencement of this portion of the project. Director of Parks and Recreation Merkel responded no soil testing had been completed prior to excavation for the parking lot improvements. Alderman Bolger stated the entire Freund Field improvement project has escalated in cost; however, the city has no choice but to move forward and complete the project. Alderman Glab concurred with Alderman Bolger. In response to Alderman Peterson's inquiry, Director Merkel stated the parking lot imp.(9,vements would have increased by the change order amount; however, the costs would have been included in the original project estimated cost. Director Merkel also noted a large part of the change order cost is for removal of the soils to Petersen Park instead of utilizing these soils in the onsite parking lot screening berm at Freund Field. June 14, 2004 Page 11 Motion by Condon, seconded by Wimmer, to accept Staff s recommendation to approve Change Order No. 2 for the Freund Field Phase III Renovations in an amount not- to-exceed $24,251.91. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None. Absent: Murgatroyd. Motion carried. MAYOR—STATEMENT AND REPORT Mayor Low reported she received correspondence from the Village of Cary Deputy Clerk commending City Clerk Jones and Deputy Clerk Kunzer on their excellent records management system. Mayor Low also reported in correspondence received from Chamber CEO Kay Rial Bates acknowledging the efforts of Community Projects Coordinator Hobson on various projects. COMMITTEE REPORTS There were no Committee Reports. STAFF REPORTS Assistant Director of Public Works Fink requested Chairman Alderman Bolger schedule a Public Works Committee Meeting for July 7, 2004 at 6:30 p.m. in the Aldermen's Conference Room. City Administrator Maxeiner reported the Transportation Committee Meeting previously scheduled for June 21, 2004 was postponed to a date to be determined.

The ceremony is scheduled for Monday, June 21, 2004 at 6:30 p.m. behind the Riverwalk Place Townhomes. All are invited to attend. NEW BUSINESS Alderman Glab reported he had received a telephone call from Mayor Low regarding illegal fishing derby parking occurring along Whispering Oaks Park on both sides of Front Royal Drive which impeded traffic. He suggested this matter be investigated prior to next year's function. Mayor Low recommended this matter be placed on a future Parks and Recreation Committee agenda for discussion and recommendation. June 14, 2004 Page 12 ADJOURNMENT Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Condon, to adjourn the meeting at 9:24 p.m. Voting Aye: Bolger, Glab, Low, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon. Voting Nay: None.
