PU13LIC HEARING: WEST END COMMONS ANNEXATION, ZONING MAP
AMENDMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT/ FINAL PLAT
Mayor Low opened the Public Hearing regarding the following at 7:3� p.m.:
• West End Commons Annexation Agreement
• Zoning Map Amendment; and
• Preliminary/Final Plat for the West End Commons Subdivision.
Director of Community Development Napolitano informed Council the most recent
version of the Annexation Agreement had been provided to them on the dais prior to this
evening's meeting.
Alderman Murgatroyd arrived at 7:35 p.m.
Director Napolitano stated Applicants, John W. Fuhler and John H. Fuhler of Fuhler
Properties, are requesting the following for West End Commons:
• Zoning Map Amendment to C-3 Community Commercial District upon annexation;
• Approval of the Preliminary/Final Plat of Subdivision.
Director Napolitano noted West End Commons is a proposed shopping center having both
inline retail spaces and out lots. The Applicant is proposing the first phase would be a
24,000 sf. multi-tenant building at the west side of the site. Two out lot sites, consisting of
13,000 sf. and 16,000 sf. would be available for future development. A second multi-
tenant building, of 16,000 sf. is proposed on the north side of the site for future
development. Director Napolitano informed Council access to the development would
include full access from Ringwood Road and right-in/right-out access from Illinois Route
120. Parking for 301 vehicles is provided, which exceeds Zoning Ordinance requirements.
Director Napolitano stated the proposed C-3 zoning is consistent with the trend of
development in the area and appropriate at this heavily-traveled comer... The property to
the east, which is zoned C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District, was developed with a BP
gas station several years ago. Approximately two years ago the property to the south was
rezoned C-2 and developed with a bank. C-3 zoning would permit a wider variety of
commercial service and office uses on the site than C-2 zoning, and would offer residents
on the west side of the City greater shopping opportunities.
Director Napolitano noted the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as
High Density Residential, 9 plus units per acre. However, Staff does not support residential
zoning for the site as traffic and surrounding land uses are not conducive to additional
residential dwellings. Staff suggests commercial zoning is more compatible with the
July 18, 2005
Page 2
surrounding uses. '�-
Director Napolitano stated in order to expedite the process the Applicant is
requesting Preliminary and Final Plat approval for West End Commons. The Plat would
divide the property into four lots, plus an out lot for storm water retention. The Applicant
intends initially to develop Lot 4 with a strip mall and make Lots 2 and 3 available for single
users. Lot 1 would be developed at some point in the future. Director Napolitano
indicated the Plat provides necessary cross-access easements between interior lots.
Additionally, a 20-foot wide municipal utility easement has been provided through the site
to accommodate water and sewer lines. Right-of-way totaling 50-feet from the centerline
of Ringwood Road would be dedicated to the City of McHenry. Director Napolitano
indicated the City Engineer has approved the preliminary engineering for the project, The
Applicant has submitted final engineering, which is currently under review by the City
Engineer.
Director Napolitano informed Council the Planning and Zoning Commission
unanimously approved the Zoning Map Amendment to C-3 Community Commercial District
upon annexation, at a Public Hearing held on May 19, 2005. Additionally, the Planning
and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Preliminary/Final Plat
of West End Commons, subject to approval of the final engineering by the City Engineer.
Director Napolitano introduced John W. Fuhler of Fuhler Properties. _--
John W. Fuhler introduced his father, John H. Fuhler of Fuhler Properties. Mr.
Fuhler stated they are proposing the annexation of a 7.5-acre parcel located at the
northeast corner of the intersection of Ringwood Road and Illinois Route 120, a/k/a Elm
Street. Mr. Fuhler informed Council he intends to divide the parcel into a four-lot
subdivision. A strip mall would be constructed on the largest of the four lots, which would
contain approximately 16 to 17 stores. Three out lots are proposed. Mr. Fuhler stated
there is a billboard on the site which pre-exists his purchase of the property. The base on
the billboard expires in 2011.
Mr. Fuhler indicated the strip mail would be constructed of flagstone and brick with
forest green metal trim. The building would be maintenance free. Drivit would be used to
complement the brick and flagstone. Residential architectural features would be used to
assist in blending the building into the area. Landscaping buffers would be constructed to
soften the building's appearance.
Mr. Fuhler informed Council there is a 20-foot elevation differential from the
southeast comer of the property to the northwest comer. Fuhler Properties intends to
grant property for right-of-way expansion of both Ringwood Road and Illinois Route 120.
Either a right-in/right-out access or a % access, right-in/left-in, right-out, is anticipated onto
Illinois Route 120 and a full access is anticipated onto Ringwood Road.
Mr. Fuhler acknowledged there would be sidewalks along Ringwood Road, however
no sidewalks are proposed adjacent to Illinois Route 120. The developer is prepared to
make a monetary contribution to the City of McHenry's sidewalk fund in exchange for the
July 18, 2005
Page 3
waiver of installation of sidewalks along Illinois Route 120.
Mr. Fuhler stated it is the intent of the developer to retain as many of the trees on
the site as possible while developing the property, in addition to enhancing the site with
further landscaping.
Mayor Low thanked Mr. Fuhler for his presentation and opened the floor to
questions from Council.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Santi regarding parking in proximity to the
established Chesapeake Hills Subdivision, Mr. Fuhler stated all parking would be on the
south side of the property. Alderman Santi opined the construction is appropriate for the
site. Additionally, he stated the design is attractive, conforms to the area and has curb
appeal.
Mr. John H. Fuhler informed Council that Fuhler Properties take pride in their
developments.
Alderman Glab suggested a berm be constructed between the roadway and the
parking lot. He expressed concerns regarding vehicular traffic flow in the complex and
drainage issues.
Mayor Low commented that the stores in the shopping complex on the north side of
town have basically the same traffic flow as designated for the West End Commons
complex.
Mr. Fuhler, addressing Alderman Glab's concerns regarding drainage, stated the
engineering has been designed at a 5 to 1 slope in the detention pond in order to address
any drainage issues.
Mr. Fuhler stated in consideration of Alderman Glab's concerns regarding traffic
flow in the complex, he is willing to discuss alternative ingress and egress with his
engineering firm.
Alderman Glab opined the building is attractive.
Alderman Schaefer stated he likes the design of the complex and agrees with the
Planning and Zoning Commission regarding rezoning of the property. He stated he would
like to see the entrance to the project lined up with the entrance to Parkland School.
Additionally, he requested the following:
• Additional information regarding water flow with respect to drainage in the area;
• A copy of the building plan; and
• The exact amount of stores proposed.
'�-- Responding to an inquiry, Mr. Fuhler stated groundbreaking is anticipated in spring
2006. The shell of the structure would be constructed first for aesthetic purposes and then
the developer would work with the tenants regarding build-out.

Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Murgatroyd, Director Napolitano assured
Council the design of the project would improve drainage in the area. Additionally, Director
Napolitano stated it is the developers' intention to make road improvements in conjunction
with development of the project.
Alderman Murgatroyd opined his preference that the Ringwood Road entrance to
the project be further north, away from the entrance to Parkland School. City Engineer
Bob Wegener of Smith Engineering Consultants, Inc. stated the current positioning of the
entrance, from an engineering standpoint, is the only feasible placement of the entrance.
Responding to an inquiry by Alderman Murgatroyd, Director Napolitano stated typical
directional signs would be installed throughout the development for vehicular traffic.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Wimmer, Mr. Fuhler stated the developer
is hopeful a restaurant would be installed on one of the out lots. Mr. Fuhler, responding to
Alderman Wimmer's inquiry, indicated trash receptacles would likely be placed between
the building structures to facilitate an attractive appearance at all times.
Alderman Peterson expressed concerns regarding the impact of the development
on the residents of the Chesapeake Hills Subdivision and apprehension regarding
vehicular traffic in the vicinity. Mr. Fuhler indicated the buildings would be constructed of
masonry and have been designed to be attractive from all angles. All sides of the buildings
would be finished. Addressing Alderman Peterson's concerns regarding drainage from the --
creek to the north of the property, Mr. Fuhler stated he would have his engineer's address
the matter. Alderman Peterson stated the land use is appropriate.
Alderman Condon expressed concerns regarding out lots 2 and 3. She stated she
would like to see a visual of the building concept for the out lots. Alderman Condon
specified she would like assurance from the developer that the buildings on the out lots
would conform to the design of the rest of the project. She stated her comfort level would
increase if verbiage to that affect was inserted in the Annexation Agreement so there is no
misunderstanding.
Alderman Condon indicated that following expiration of the billboard lease in 20110
she would like to see the billboard dismantled 30-60 days following expiration of the lease.
Mr. Fuhler assured Alderman Condon that Fuhler Properties is anxious for the expiration of
the lease and would expedite dismantling of the billboard following expiration of the lease.
Alderman Condon concurred with Alderman Glab regarding installation of a berm.
She stated it would be an enhancement to the project. Additionally, Alderman Condon
stated she concurs with Alderman Murgatroyd regarding the positioning of the entrance to
the project being staggered from the entrance to Parkland School. She indicated she has
some concerns regarding vehicular traffic at the intersection of Illinois Route 120 and
Ringwood Road. --
Director of Public Works Marcinko interjected, stating that Fuhler Properties is the
first developer he has encountered that has waived the right to a Traffic Study and the first
developer to volunteer funds for roadway improvements.

REQUEST TO WANE BID REQUIREMENTS AND AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE
FOUR CHLORINE ANALYZERS FROM CHEMICAL PUMP SALES & SERVICES. INC.,
FOR AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $10,800
Director of Public Works Marcinko informed Council the 2005/2006 Fiscal Year
budget includes funding for the acquisition and installation of chlorine analyzers in each of
the City's four water treatment plants.
Director Marcinko stated the City receives its water supply from numerous shallow
wells throughout the City, which requires the use of chlorine for disinfection. Director
Marcinko informed Council that of the proposals requested Staff received two quotes for
installation of chlorine analyzers in all four water treatment plants. Of the two quotes
received Chemical Pump Sales & Services, Inc. of Frankfort, Illinois offered the best rate.
The proposed equipment would provide 24-hour chlorine residual reading and
would be tied to the Supervisory Control Data Acquisition (SCADA) System. The chlorine
analyzers have the ability to detect if an outside source tampers with the chlorination
equipment, resulting in enhanced security and assurance of water supply safety.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Schaefer, Director Marcinko stated Staff is
confident of the amounts quoted for the proposed equipment. He noted that this is a highly
specialized field and City Staff has worked with the supplier in the past.

ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR SURVEYING SERVICES RELATED 1 Q
THE DEDICATIN OF CERTAIN RIGHT-OF-WAYS ON CHARLES J. MILLER ROAD
SMITH ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, INC., IN AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED
30 000 '—
Director Marcinko informed Council that during the design of the Charles Miller
Road arterial from Illinois Route 31 to the Earl Walsh Bridge, the City of McHenry was
responsible for obtaining the necessary right-of-way for the project. Following the City `$
acquisition of the property there were seven parcels west of the Fox River that
inadvertently were never transferred to the County of McHenry.
Smith Engineering Consultants, Inc. has submitted an Engineering Service
Agreement for the preparation of the Charles Miller Road Plats of Highway to facilitate the
transfer of the right-of-way to the County of McHenry. Director Marcinko stated the
proposed agreement includes boundary surveys, parcel research, right-of-way dedication„
and centerline monumentation.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Murgatroyd, Director Marcinko informed
Council the cost for the dedication of the Charles Miller Road right-of-way is not a
budgeted item and that the right-of-way extends from Earl Walsh Bridge to east side of
Green Street.
City Engineer Bob Wegener, of Smith Engineering Consultants, Inc., responding to
an inquiry from Alderman Peterson stated the engineering was done for the roadway but
not for the dedication. He informed Council that it was just recently discovered the parcels
were never split off. However, the County has continued to maintain the right-of-way.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Schaefer, City Administrator Maxeiner
presented Council with a history of the project. He noted the error regarding ownership of
the property was only realized following litigation precipitated by a bicycle accident on the
road, which took place approximately one and a half years ago.
Motion by Murgatroyd, seconded by Peterson, to accept Staffs recommendation to
approve an Engineering Services Agreement with Smith Engineering Consultants, Inc. for
the preparation of documentation required for the dedication of the Charles Miller Road
right-of-way, in an amount not-to-exceed $30,000. '

intersection, as well as all the required environmental studies and property surveys.

Engineer would be coordinating the project limits and right-of-way needs with IDOT.

2009, Staff is bringing the project before Council to begin the process of land acquisition
and condemnation, which is expected to take approximately two years to complete.
Following completion of land acquisition and condemnation, the Phase II design
engineering for the proposed improvements along the Illinois Route 31 corridor would
begin. Director Marcinko noted the Phase I Report is not included in the 2006/2006
budget.
Director Marcinko indicated the City has secured $1,000,000 in Surface
Transportation (STP) funding and $2,540,000 in Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) funding for the engineering and construction of the project. He noted that if the
project is not let in 2009 the City would lose the funding for the project.
Director Marcinko informed Council the initial payment to Smith Engineering
Consultants, Inc. would come from the City's General Fund. IDOT is expected to reimburse
the City of McHenry for the expenditure.
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Condon, to accept Staffs recommendation to
