PUBLIC HEARING
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin,Deputy City Administrator
FOR: September 28,2009,Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Historic District Public Hearing
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To conduct the public hearing for the creation of an historic district in the
Waukegan Road-Main Street area
At the August 31"City Council meeting the Council directed staff to schedule a public hearing date for the creation
of an historic district. Attached to this supplement is a booklet which contains background information, common
questions about historic districts, a description of said dwelling in the proposed district, and district design
guidelines. The pamphlet also includes the necessary paperwork for alterations to the structure; i.e., certificate of
appropriateness and certificate of economic hardship forms.
Public hearing notices were sent to all property owners within the proposed district via certified mail. Public
hearing notices were sent to all abutting property owners via regular mail. A public notice was also published in the
Northwest Herald advertising the.hearing. During the public hearing any member of the public can speak; cross-
examine and/or ask questions. Sta$ along with members of the Landmark Commission will be in attendance to
answer questions.
Staff has received written correspondence from Ron Bykowski (attached)who owns several properties within and
adjacent to the proposed historic district. He is requesting that the properties from 3810 to 3822 Waukegan Road be
excluded from the proposed historic district. He owns all of these properties with the exception of 3810 Waukegan
Road. In the future he is hoping to redevelop this area along with his commercial properties on Ehn Street(Illinois
Route 120). A boundary map is attached which depicts the area Mr. Bykowski is proposing for exclusion (red
shaded areas).
In addition,Nancy Vazzano, who owns the vacant parcel directly to the west of Landmark School has approached
staff and requested the portion of her property which extends down to Waukegan Road be excluded from the district
as well. This is also marked in red on the proposed boundary map. This is simply a narrow piece of a larger parcel
which lies directly to the north(out of the proposed historic district) and would add nothing of significance to the
district.
Upon the conclusion of the public hearing the matter is again considered by the Landmark Commission at their
October 6&meeting resulting in a formal vote being forwarded to the City Council. Subsequently,the City Council
then has three options which to consider. These include:
1. Designate the landmark or preservation district by ordinance;
2. Refer the report and recommendation back to the Commission with suggestions for revisions,
stating its reasons for such action;or
3. Deny the landmark designation.If the City Council denies the landmark designation,no
nomination for landmark designation of the same site,structure or district shall be made
within ninety(90)days of the date of the final deniaL

Dear Doug:
Please accept the following as my comments reference the proposed
establishment of an Historic Preservation District as outlined in your letter of September
1, 2009.
I have direct ownership interest in ten properties that to the best of my knowledge
would be either included or adjacent to the boundaries of the proposed district. In review
of your district boundaries map it appears that 1112 North Front Street, 3817 West Elm
and 3815 West would be adjacent to the district.
I believe that the nature of four properties afford no benefit to the district as a
whole, have no historical value and should not be included. The properties are identified
as 3812, 3814, 3820 and 3822 West Waukegan Road. My suggestion really would be to
exclude the properties on the north side of Waukegan Road from 3810 to 3822. Again,
they have no historical significance therefore being of no value to the district.
My five remaining properties located within the proposed district are ideal for
historical district designation and I voice no objections to them being included. Please
feel free to contract me should you have any questions or desire clarification regarding
my comments. I can be reached at 815 385-9500 (office) or 815 482-2070(cell).
Sincerely
R. M. Bykowski

Why create a Local Historic District in McHenry? MCH2rurV
The proposed Waukegan-Main Historic District includes
residential properties along Main and Waukegan Streets, from Inside this Brochure......
just east of Front Street(Route 31)to Green Street. The district
is being proposed in order to preserve and protect the existing Frequently Asked Questions 3
historic homes in the area. The area in question is associated Properties in the District 7
with historical persons such as: Daniel Owen and General Design Guidelines 15
George Gage and includes many different architectural home Process 21
styles, from Four Square to Italianate. Appeal Procedure 22
Definitions 22
In addition,the District contains many homes with unique and Resources 23
ornate craftsmanship. The area proposed dates back to the Tips to Help You 24
original established town of McHenry in 1837. It is suitable for Certificate Appropriateness 25
preservation because of its original ties to West McHenry and Certificate Economic Hrdship 27
the businesses that developed west of Front Street after the
railroad arrived in town.
The District also provides a link from West McHenry to Centerville,which was once separated by a 60-
acre Mill Pond used in a grist mill operation by Daniel Owen. The area encompassed by Main Street and
Waukegan Road establishes a sense of place and time unique to the original village of McHenry and we
believe that the proposed historic district will leave a lasting preservation legacy to an area established
many years ago.

Frequently Asked QuestionsRegarding Local Historic Districts
1. What is a Certificate of Appropriateness?
A certificate of appropriateness is an approval of plans for any alteration,construction,removal,or
demolition of an historic structure or site within an historic district.
2. If someone is unhappy with a decision made by the Review Committee concerning a Certificate
of Appropriateness Application,is there an appeal process?
Yes.Appeals may be made to the elected officials(City Council)who will either affirm the Review
Committee's recommendation or approve the Certificate of Appropriateness within sixty(60)days
from receipt of the appeal.
3. What is a Certificate of Economic Hardship?
A Certificate of Economic Hardship is a permit issued by the Review Committee when the denial of
a Certificate ofAppropriateness has deprived,or will deprive,the owner of a property of all reasonable
use of,or economic return on,the property.The Certificate of Economic Hardship is used to insure
that the preservation of an historic resource is economically feasible.The Review Committee reviews
applications to determine whether or not the proposed changes to an historical resource will cause
an economic hardship.
4. What is a local historic district?
A local historic district is an area in which the majority of residents have decided they want to keep
the look and feel of the place they call"home"by adopting a local preservation ordinance,and then
creating a local preservation commission to administer it. This locallegislation is one of the best
ways to protect the historic character ofbuildings,streetscapes,and neighborhoods from inappropriate
alterations and incompatible new construction,as well as outright demolition.A local historic district
does not freeze an area in time. Local historic districts are about guiding change and preserving
community character as an area grows and evolves over time.
5. What are the advantages to owning property in a local historic district?
Historic districts encourage reinvestment. When a property is a part of an historic district, there is
some certainty that any new construction or renovation activity will be respectful of the existing
character of the community and its architecture. Historic district regulations are quality assurance
standards, so that if an owner invests in a building, the owner is assured that the investment made
will not be negated by thoughtless renovation next door.Real estate agents in many communities use
historic district status as a marketing tool to sell properties because buyers are assured that the
aspects that make a particular area attractive will be protected over a period of time.
Local historic districts encourage better design.There is generally a greater sense of cohesion,more
innovative use of materials, and greater public appeal within historic districts than in areas without
historic designation.
Studies show that districts are a useful tool in stabilizing, even increasing property values, and
stimulating new investment.A community that values its history and architecture is generally one
that is attractive to live and work in.
Finally, and less quantifiably,older buildings provide tangible links to the past.They tell stories of
earlier times and become part of the lives of the community.They are an actual record of the residents
3
and the community.They provide a richness and depth to everyday life that cannot be replicated by
new construction and is lost when renovated beyond recognition.
6. What are key items to remember if an historic district is going to be successful?
For any district to be effective,it needs to be properly administered. Problems can arise if property
owners are not made aware of which activities are subject to the Review Committee's regulations,
and the Commission must make a good and consistent effort at educating the residents within the
district. Review Committee members should also receive regular training and guidelines should be
developed,so that decisions can be made objectively and based upon good background information.
7. The city looks just fine the way it is—what is the value in having an historic district?
Historic districts have been used successfully throughout the country as a means to protect community
character. Most vibrant towns have some form of historic design review in place.
Developers known for quality work frequently seek out properties in historic districts. They know
up front what the ground rules are; their investment is protected. There is an open public process
already in place for reviewing site and building plans. Developers also recognize that history is an
effective marketing tool.Creating an historic district is a way of singling out the special places within
a town or city. It ensures that those unique attributes will remain for future generations. It prevents
the gradual erosion of those places that help define those special places.
Any community that has an historic district and survey in process can apply for"Certified Local
Government"status. CLGs become part of a state network for sharing information and are able to
apply for federal matching grants available only to CLGs.There are also tax advantages to rehabilitating
buildings in historic districts for commercial purposes.
8. Who will be making decisions once the district is in place?
Historic districts are administered by a commission and members are appointed in the same manner
as other commissions. Ideally, a commission overseeing a district includes people with design
experience,such as an architect,planner,landscape architect,and/or builder, as well as those with a
demonstrated interest in local history.
The commission will use the historical surveys of the properties within the district to guide its
decisions.These surveys will also provide useful information to property owners on the history and
architectural character of their buildings. They will also assist in developing design guidelines to
assist both applicants and the commission in making decisions.
9. What is the difference between a National Register District and a Local Historic District?
The National Register of Historic Places is the nation's official list of buildings,sites or areas worthy
of preservation. Listing does not restrict what the property owner may do with the property unless
the owner is using federal assistance,like federal rehabilitation tax credits.
A local historic district is a district designated by a local ordinance,which falls under the jurisdiction
of an appointed citizen-board called an historic preservation commission(i.e.,the Review Committee).
It provides communities with the means to make sure that growth, development, and change take
place in ways that respect the important architectural,historical, and environmental characteristics
within a district.
4
10.Are all buildings in Local Historic Districts necessarily historic?
No.A major goal of local historic districts is maintaining the overall character of the area.When the
boundaries are drawn for a local historic district, it will often include non-historic properties and
vacant lots. Reviewing proposed changes to non-historic properties as well as historic properties
insures that more recent construction will not become more intrusive and, hopefully, will become
less so.
If these properties are not included in the district, there is a greater chance that changes to these
properties could have a negative impact on the area or on adjoining buildings. For instance, if a
multi-story building with a parking lot in front were to be constructed on a vacant lot between two
smaller historic homes,it would detract from the neighborhood and lower the value of those homes.
The design review process ensures that a new building is compatible with its historic neighbors.
11. What might happen to local property values if they are not included in a Local Historic District?
Designation of an area as an historic district will not directly affect property values. Because Local
Historic District properties are protected from insensitive development,owners may be more inclined
to make improvements to their property.This may increase the value of all property in the district.
National and statewide economic studies show that historic district designation first stabilizes property
values, and then slowly values begin to rise. In most cases, properties in local historic districts
appreciate at rates greater than:
a) the local market as a whole; and
b) similar neighborhoods that are not designated.
This is akin to the principal behind subdivision covenants,which are put in place by a homeowner's
association to ensure quality improvements and to enhance property owners'investments. It should
be noted private subdivision covenants are often more restrictive than public ordinances. Remember
if property taxes go up,it means the value of the property investments is going up as well.
12. Does the property owner have any say as to whether their property is included in the Local
Historic District?
Before a Local Historic District is designated, all residents and owners of property in the proposed
local district have an opportunity to express their views at a public hearing with the Review Committee
and the elected officials(City Council).The Review Committee and City Council evaluate a property's
designation based on objective criteria in the ordinance,not on personal preference.The City Council
is legally obligated to pass laws/ordinances that treat similarly situated persons alike, and therefore
treat similar historic properties uniformly.
13. Are there other benefits to creating Local Historic Districts?
Yes.An historic district that is aesthetically cohesive and well-promoted can be a community's most
important attraction. The retention of historic areas as a way to attract tourist dollars makes good
economic sense. The protection of local historic districts can also enhance business recruitment
potential. Companies continually re-locate to communities that offer their workers a higher quality
of life,which is greatly enhanced by successful local preservation programs and stable historic districts.
5
14.If a neighborhood or building is landmark designated,will the property owner(s)be required
to restore their property?
No. The designation as an historic district does not require restoration or force owners to return
buildings to their original condition.The historic district only regulates proposed work on designated
structures. It may, however, make recommendations for restorative treatment when other work is
undertaken to the property.
15. Will property owners be restricted in the kinds of changes than can be made?
Yes. Landmark designation does place additional restrictions on historic properties, which most
often involve exterior changes. Designation is designed to protect and preserve properties and
neighborhoods. This can be beneficial to a property owner by preventing inappropriate changes to
neighboring buildings that could take away from property values and the ambiance or enjoyment of
the property.
16.Does it cost more to maintain a landmarked building?
It may.Although there can be an additional expense for historically appropriate repair and maintenance
of designated buildings, property owners generally find the extra costs offset by the higher resale
revenue and property values.
17. Will living in a designated historic district raise property taxes?
No. There is no evidence that those living in an historic district pay higher property taxes than
residents outside of the district.
18.How does historic district designation affect development values within a district?
Development is permitted in historic districts.Developers are subject to the same approval process
by the Review Committee as are other property owners.Even though development may be reviewed
in terms of aesthetics,height and bulk,developers may benefit from the prestige and association that
come with designation. To encourage sensitive alterations and renovations, federal and state tax
credits are available. The real estate community markets historic properties in a way that places
emphasis and greater value on the building's and neighborhood's special character.
19.Does becoming a landmarked district speed up the process of gentrification?
No. There are no defmitive studies that prove this. By preserving and protecting existing historic
structures,designation prevents rapid, out-of-scale development that often leads to displacement.
20.How does living in an historic district affect zoning?
Zoning is a separate feature of a neighborhood's character.The zoning dictates how large a building
may be,its general shape and use.The Review Committee oversees all changes in an historic district,
but does not regulate contemporary use.
21.What types of work require a homeowner to obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness?
Any exterior remodeling or fagade improvement work requires a Certificate ofAppropriateness be
obtained. This includes: alterations,siding,additions,painting,reroofing,as well as windows and
doors. Interior renovations, remodeling or alterations do not require the homeowner to obtain a
Certificate ofAppropriateness.

DESIGN GUIDELINES for
Waulregan-Main Historic District
There is no time like now to rediscover our heritage right here in the City of McHenry. Even though
over 170 years have passed since the arrival of the first settlers in 1836,enough evidence remains to piece
together a bit of this city's steady growth and development.
The wandering Pottawatomie Indian tribes used the area to pursue their hunting and fishing before the
arrival of the first non-native settlers. George and John Boone were the first white men to make claims
on land near two branches of Boone Creek and the Fox River in 1836. Named after Major William
McHenry who served in the War of 1812 and the Blackhawk War,the Village of McHenry was the first
town or village laid out in the newly created McHenry County. It was the first seat of government when
Lake County was apart of McHenry County. McHenry was incorporated as a village in 1872. Fifty-one
years later, in 1923,McHenry was incorporated as a City.
In the early days,McHenry had three divisions with a strong rivalry among them. The Riverside section
was the first to be established along the Fox River. The west McHenry area was named Gagetown for
George Gage who owned the site and was influential in securing the railroad in 1854: The Green Street
area, once called Centerville,was where the Owens family first settled. McHenry flourished as a resort
area because of the Fox River, surrounding lakes and easy accessibility from Chicago. However,it was
the farmers who settled here and tilled the fertile soil that gave the village a stability which enabled it to
prosper. Factories came into being and produced dairy products, lumber, clay products, flours and
cereals,pickles and vinegar,beer and cigars.Today,McHenry is a growing,thriving community. Century-
old buildings and sites proclaim its heritage and are complemented by beautiful churches,strong educational
opportunities,recreational facilities and scores of shops and restaurants for residents as well as visitors.

Overview of Historic District
The Waukegan-Main Historic District includes residential properties along Main and Waukegan Streets,
from just east of Front Street (Route 31) to west of Green Street (See Figure 1). The district was
established by the City in 2009 in order to preserve and protect the existing historic homes in the area.
Property owners wanting to add onto or make structural alterations to a home in the district must
receive a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Landmark Commission before a building permit can
be issued. A Certificate of Appropriateness will be issued if the Landmark Commission finds that the
proposed addition or structural alteration is consistent with the criteria of the City's Historic Preservation
Ordinance and with the Design Guidelines contained herein.
The following Design Guidelines are applicable to properties located in the Waukegan-Main Historic
District. They are intended to serve as a guide for property owners, architects, designers, developers
and contractors intending to change or renovate their existing homes. These standards will provide
criteria by which the Landmark Commissions and City Staff will evaluate development plans for
consistency with the objectives of the Historic District.
Design Guidelines
These Design Guidelines address several design elements and are broken down as follows:
General Considerations, Site Considerations, Building Scale and Massing, Entrances and
Porches, Windows, Paint and Colors, Decks, and Fencing. In addition to these guidelines,the
Secretary of the Interior's "Standards and Guidelines forArcheology and Historic Preservation"
and "Standards for Rehabilitation" should be consulted as they are excellent resources for
methods and materials for historic preservation and construction.
General Considerations
♦ A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires
minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building,its site and environment.
♦ The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved.The removal of historic
materials or alterations of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
♦ Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time,place,and use. Changes
that create a false sense of historical development,such as adding conjectural features or
architectural elements from other buildings shall not be undertaken.
♦ Most properties change over time;those changes that have acquired historical significance
in their own right shall be retained and preserved.
♦ Distinctive features,finishes,and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that
characterize a property shall be preserved.
The Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings
16
General Considerations, cont.
♦ Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. When the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature,the new feature shall match the
old in design.
♦ Chemical or physical treatments such as sandblasting that cause damage to historic materials
shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken
using the gentlest means possible.
♦ Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved.
If such resources must be disturbed,mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
♦ New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction shall not destroy historic
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old
and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect
the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
♦ New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner
that if removed in the future,the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.
Site Considerations
When considering an addition or modification to a home in a historic district,the existing characteristics of the
site and surrounding area must be considered. The addition or modification should look like it was always a part
of the original structure and its appearance should fit easily into the neighborhood.
♦ ftont Yard Setback.
Where there is an established front building line along a block or street,the addition or modification should
maintain the same building line. When the front building line of adjacent structures is not the same, an
average should be used. This new setback dimension will not require a variance because it will fall under
these guidelines and existing language in the Zoning Ordinance.
♦ Side Yard Setback
Where there is a consistent side yard setback established on a block, a new home shall match the existing
setback pattern. As lot width increases,the side yard setback should increase proportionally to reduce mass
and provide more appropriate separation from adjacent buildings. For example,if the majority of existing
homes are on a 50'wide lot and a new home is proposed on a 100'wide lot,the required side yard setback
should increase by two.
♦ GaraMLL
If you are adding a new garage,consider all options and plan for driveway placement. Choose the configuration
that will preserve trees and have the least impact on the site.All garages and other accessory structures such
as sheds and storage units shall be located in the rear yard. Also read the Garages and Accessory Structures
Section of this book for more guidelines.
17
• Building LLayent.
a The topography of the site should be taken into account when planning the layout of an addition or
modification. Design the addition to take advantage of existing grade changes for lookout or walkout
features. The existing grade should not be significantly modified to accommodate an addition.
a Preservation of existing mature trees is strongly encouraged. Always configure your addition to preserve
trees and have the least impact on the site. Place windows to take advantage of the view provided by
mature trees and vegetation. For more information refer to the City's Municipal Code, Section 24-40
through 24-50 for the Tree Preservation Ordinance.
a Impervious surface should be kept to a minimum. Remember that the building will not be the only non-
porous surface on the lot. A driveway and pathways are required and decks/patios and built-in pools are
other items that are frequently added in the future.
• Utilities and Nechanical Epipment
Remember to accommodate mechanical equipment or other utility hardware that may be required as a result
of the addition or building modification.
"Therefore, when we build, let us think that we build for ever.
Let it not be for present delight, nor for present use alone; let it be
such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think,as
we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones
will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that
men will say as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of
them, 'See!this our fathers did for us.'For,indeed, thegreatestglory
of a building is not in its stone, or in its gold Its glory is in its
Age."
John Ruskin
Building Scale and Massing
When designing an addition or building modification,the scale(height and width)and mass of existing buildings
along the street should be respected. The average height and width of nearby buildings can be used to determine
a general set of proportions for an addition. An addition need not always be the same height as its neighbors,but
should visually relate to the established roof line. Details such as sloping roofs, wider horizontal trim, and
crafted wood trim at the end of gables can bring the scale of a new home down.
Always consider the current style of your home(Victorian,Greek Revival,Colonial,Italianate,etc.)and consult
with experts,books and reference material to ensure that your addition or modification maintains and enhances
the scale and massing of that style.
18
Entrances and Porches
Entrances and porches are often the main focal point of a home providing form as well as function. They were
integral components of a historic building's design,often reflecting the architectural elements of the entire home,
but also provided a shaded area for occupants.
Existing porches should be protected and maintained. Any changes must protect the building character. Removing
or substantially altering entrances and porches so that the historic character of the home is diminished is not
allowed. Cleaning and applying a protective coating such as paint or varnish to existing materials is recommended.
Porch materials should be evaluated to determine if any elements need repair or replacement. Repairs or
replacement components should be of the same material and reinforce the historic character of the porch and
building. If the same material cannot be used,a compatible substitute material should be considered.
Removing and replacing an entire entrance or porch is suggested only when it is not feasible or practical to make
necessary repairs. The replacement porch should reflect the same visual appearance as the porch it is replacing.
Adding a new entrance or porch is recommended only when there is sufficient historic or pictorial evidence to
suggest such a renovation. A new design may be appropriate as long as it is compatible with the historic
character of the building.
Doors should be complementary to historic design of the building.Doors with panels and windows are highly
encouraged. Solid doors without panels or with only small windows are discouraged for the main entrance of the
home.
Windows
Window openings are a prominent part of the historic character of a building,all the more important because they
serve as both an interior and exterior feature. Preserving the functional and decorative features of windows and
doors(frames,sashes,decorated jambs,moldings,shutters,etc.)is an important step in maintaining the character
of a historic building.
The condition of existing windows should be evaluated before making any changes. Cleaning,paint removal and
a reapplication of protective coatings should be done first. Caulking and weather-stripping will provide energy
savings. If windows must be replaced,consider re-using any serviceable parts from the old window. The new
window should mimic the old window as close as possible in terms of glass to frame ratio, duplication of the
frame width,depth and existing decorative details.
If an addition is constructed,window openings should be similar in size and proportion to those on the existing
part of the building. The rhythm of structural mass to voids (doors, windows, etc.) for an addition should be
related to the rhythm established on the home.
Garages and Accessory Structures
The design of a detached garage or accessory structure should be compatible with the historic character of the
main buildings.The roof form and exterior building materials should be the same or compatible with the main
building.Painting and colors should also match that of the main building.
All garages and accessory structures shall be located in the rear yard within the historic district. Garage doors
may be functional with today's technology but have the appearance of the historical character and design of the
district.
19
Paint and Colors
Choosing the right color combination for a home can unify the elements of the facade and relate the building to
others on the block. Step outside and look at your building as it relates to others and make sure that the colors
you choose are in character with the rest of the buildings on the block. When choosing colors,use a historical
color scheme. This scheme uses body,trim and accent colors from a particular time period. The colors should
complement the schemes on adjacent buildings. Colors may be chosen based on paint chip analysis of a
building's original color,or based on colors used on other buildings of the period. Color guides of documented
historical hues from selected paint manufacturers are an aid to historic color selection. Old photos of the house
or a similar one can establish light versus dark color placement.
The placement of colors,rather than the number of colors best accentuates the architectural details of a home.
Colors are categorized as follows:
♦ Base.
The base often matches the natural color of the building materials. Materials such as brick and stone
should not be painted.
♦ Major Tnix
Major trim is used to frame the facade,doors and windows. It is also the primary color of the comice and
major architectural elements.
♦ Minor Trim
If a minor trim color is used,it is often a darker shade placed on the doors and window sashes.
♦ Bent
An accent color is used in limited doses to highlight small details. Accent colors should tie architectural
elements together and this scheme should be consistent throughout the lower and upper portions of the
facade.
Decks
Decks are open-air structures used for outdoor living space. They provide an area for entertaining,cooking and
relaxation. Decks can be appropriate on historic structures if care is taken during the preliminary design stage.
The image and size of a deck should be secondary to that of the house. Use materials and create a design for the
deck that extends the architectural style of the original building.
Fencing
Fences are typically used for one or more of the following purposes:
♦Screening. A fence can be used to block the views of undesirable uses or activities.
♦Enclosure. A fence can provide privacy by enclosing a yard or other private space.
♦Separation. A fence can provide separation between activities.
♦Decoration. Fencing is often used in conjunction with landscaping and/or hardscape materials to provide
a decorative look to a building site.
When considering a fence for your property,first determine what purpose the fence will serve. For screening
and enclosure purposes, solid,wood fencing is preferred. For decorative purposes, wrought iron, ornamental
aluminum or plastic and wood picket fencing is appropriate. Chain link fencing is not appropriate for a home
in an historic district.
20
Process
Before any exterior alteration,construction,demolition or change is allowed on property in the Waukegan-Main
Historic District,a Certificate ofAppropriateness or a Certificate of Economic Hardship must be obtained. To
obtain such a Certificate,the following procedure should be followed:
♦ Contact the City to determine if the proposed project is subject to these guidelines.
♦ Review these guidelines to determine the requirements applicable to your project.
♦ Submit an application for Certificate of Appropriateness:
♦ A building permit application will be accepted. For projects not requiring a building permit,but for
which a Certificate of Appropriateness is required,submit an application for a Certificate of
Appropriateness,which is available in the Community Development Department.
♦ Include all required information such as:
1) Property address,
2) Legal description,
3) Property Owner's name,
4) Architect's,designer's or contractor's name,
5) A detailed description of the proposed construction,together with any architectural drawings
or sketches to sufficiently describe the final appearance of the project.
♦ The Landmark Commission will consider the application at the next available Landmark commission
meeting,usually within 30 days.
♦ The Landmark Commission will review the proposed project for compliance with the standards and
design guidelines specified in the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance.
♦ Within 15 days the Landmark Commission will provide a written recommendation to City Council
indicating approval or denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness based on written findings. A building
permit will not be issued for the work unless a Certificate of Appropriateness is approved.
♦ A Certificate of Appropriateness will become void if any of the following occur:
1)There is any change in the scope of work from the approved application;or
2)If twelve months or more have elapsed following the issuance of the certificate and no building permit
has been issued;or
3)If twenty-four months have lapsed following issuance of the building permit and the project has not
been completed.
♦ A Certificate of Economic Hardship may be issued but only after a determination that the failure to issue
a Certificate of Appropriateness has denied or will deny the owner all reasonable use of, or return on the
property.
21
Appeal Procedure
Any appeal of a denial of a Certificate ofAppropriateness shall be made to the City Council. The City Council,
after reviewing the recommendation and written findings of the Commission,shall affirm the recommendation
or approve the Certificate of Appropriateness within sixty(60)days from receipt of the appeal.

Tips to help you to get started
After you've planned out the details of your project,you're ready to move to the next step—
completing the work. If the work is rather simple,you may choose to do it yourself. For the
more complicated tasks,it's best to hire a professional. There are many reputable contractors
who can complete the job on time and within budget; unfortunately,others out to make a fast
buck may result in poor quality,or unfinished work. The following tips will help in selecting a
reputable contractor:
♦ Get more than one estimate and get them in writing.
♦ Ask the contractor for references and addresses for similar work. Drive by those sites
and if possible,contact the property owner to discuss their experience with the contractor.
♦ Inspect the contract carefully to make sure it includes the contractor's full name,address
and phone number, a description of the work to be performed, starting and completion
dates,total costs of work to be performed,and a schedule for the down payment,subsequent
payments and final payment.
♦ Never sign a contract with blank spaces or one you do not fully understand. If you are
taking out a loan to finance the project,do not sign the contract until your lender approves
your loan.
♦ Find out if the contractor has a warranty or guarantee on his or her work.
♦ Make sure the contractor has minimum amounts of insurance for property damage,
bodily injury,and improper repair.
♦ Get lien waivers. This protects you from claims against you or your property in the
event your contractor fails to pay his or her suppliers or sub-contractors.
♦ Don't make final payment until you are satisfied and all subcontractors are paid.

CONSENT AGENDA
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas K. Maxeiner, City Administrator
FOR: September 28, 2009, Regular City Council Meeting
SUBJECT: Donation of Surplus Property
Background: The Grant Manager for the Illinois Department of Transportation is contacting
Police Departments throughout the state seeking surplus computer printing equipment for police
agencies throughout the state that did not qualify for grant assistance and cannot afford to
purchase printers on their own.
At this time,McHenry has a surplus of 20 Pentex Pocket Jet 3 Plus printers formerly used for the
Police Department mobile crash reporting system. Rather than discard the surplus equipment
through the municipal auction, staff is suggesting that the items are donated to IDOT for
distribution to the aforementioned agencies. An ordinance has been prepared authorizing the
donation of 20 printers to IDOT. In the past, the city has used a similar agreement to donate
equipment to Johnsburg and Jacksonville, Illinois.
Recommendation: Authorize the Mayor's execution of the attached ordinance donating surplus
property to IDOT for distribution to police agencies.

MEYER
Mayor Low stated she would like to honor a City of McHenry employee this evening, an
employee extraordinaire who went above and beyond his duties. She requested Director of
Public Works Schmitt inform the Council of this employee's deeds.
Director Schmitt stated on August 18, 2009 he returned from lunch to find a ten-speed
bicycle at the Public Works Garage. He was informed that Butch Meyer had brought it into the
garage that morning. The next day a woman's husband called Public Works to express his
appreciation for the care and compassion extended to his wife. He stated his wife experienced
an accident on her bicycle at Mill Street and Crystal Lake Road. Public Works Street Division
employee Butch Meyer happened upon the scene, administered first aid, and stayed with the
woman until emergency service personnel arrived. Butch then took the woman's bicycle to the
Public Works Garage. Director Schmitt noted when asked about the incident, Butch replied "it
was no big deal".
Mayor Low expressed her appreciation that Butch got involved and assisted this woman.
She acknowledged she has known Butch for more than fifty years and she was not surprised
that he responded in this manner. Mayor Low then read into the minutes a proclamation
honoring Donald R. "Butch" Meyer for his care and compassion extended to this woman on
August 18, 2009.
Mayor Low stated she learned today that Alderman Glab and his wife were fishing on
McCullom Lake recently and saw a woman in distress in the water.They assisted the woman to
safety on shore where she received emergency assistance. Mayor Low congratulated Alderman
Glab and his wife for their efforts on behalf of the woman.
PUBLIC INPUT SESSION
Spokesman Curt Pepe, resident of 304 DePaul Court, addressed Council regarding the
proposed disc golf course in Cold Springs Park. He noted he had updated information regarding
Cold Springs Park. He obtained a 1995 Map with soil definitions from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. He has also secured affidavits from original homeowners with sworn testimony
regarding the proposed use of the open space now known as Cold Springs Park. He concluded,
noting that once the disc golf course is moved to a more appropriate site, residents of the area

park and making it a permanent passive open space. He suggested the City work with the

RE: Advertising Sign for Patriot Estates
Cunat Inc.,Applicant
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Photo of Existing Sign
2. Letter from Kevin Villont,V.P.New Construction
3. Location Map
Background
A letter was received from Kevin Villont of Cunat, Inc. requesting a variance to continue to use an
existing sign located at the southeast comer of Bull Valley and Crystal Lake Roads for an additional
year. The sign was originally approved and installed as part of the Inland Business Park Development.
The existing sign consists of(2) 10'x 10' identical signs in a'V'configuration.
Staff Analysis
In the past, the City has allowed off-premise advertising signs for residential subdivisions (Boone
Creek, Kresswood Trails, and Olde Mill Ponds). Typically, these have been approved on a year-to-
year basis,with the applicant appearing before the Council each year to renew the permit.
Recommendation
Staff would recommend approval of the requested variance for a period of one year with the condition
that the applicant obtain Council approval to renew the sign permit on an annual basis.

COMMITTEE AGENDA
TO: Public Works Committee
FROM: Jon M. Schmitt, Director of Public Works
FOR: September 21, 2009 Public Works Committee Meeting
RE: Speed Limit on Green Street/Barreville Road
ATTACHMENTS: Location Map
BackEround. Staff has recently received several requests to lower the speed limit on Green
Street/Barreville Road south of Forest Drive to the city limits. With the extension of Veterans
Parkway from Route 31 to Green Street/Barreville Road, this section of roadway is experiencing
a larger volume of traffic. The McHenry traffic control ordinance establishes a speed limit of
35mph on Green Street from Bull Valley Road to Forest Drive and at the southern corporate line;
the Village of Prairie Grove has a posted speed limit of 35mph.
Analysis. Staff recommends lowering the speed limit from 45mph to 35mph from Forest Drive
to the southern corporate line to maintain a consistent speed limit while addressing safety
concerns at the newly created intersection of Veterans Parkway and Green Street/ Barreville
Road.
Recommendation. Staff seeks Committee's recommendation to the City Council to amend the
City of McHenry Traffic Control Ordinance extending the 35mph speed limit on Green
Street/Barreville Road to the southern City of McHenry corporate line.

COMMITTEE AGENDA
TO: Public Works Committee
FROM: Jon M. Schmitt, Director of Public Works
FOR: September 21, 2009 Public Works Committee
RE: 2010 Street Resurfacing Program
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Street Ranking List
2) Preliminary Cost Estimates
Background. On August 31, 2009, the City Council authorized bonding for up to $3.5 million
to finance road improvements throughout the city. After including engineering costs in the total,
approximately $3.07 is left for actual construction. Staff and SEC Group have prepared a list of
33 streets including alternates based on condition and cost for this year's program. Cost
estimates and street condition rankings for each street are attached.
Analysis. To establish the list, staff and SEC Group visited each street to verify and inspect the
current condition of the pavement. Each street on the list was broken down based on a typical
pay item in a resurfacing contract. The lengths and widths were then calculated to establish an
estimated cost to resurface each street. Staff also recommends including three alternate streets
listed by priority resurfacing needs in the bid package. With this approach, a street or streets
may be added or removed from the street program dependent on the unit bid prices received.
Recommendation. Staff seeks Committee's recommendation to the City Council for the 2010
street resurfacing program as presented on the attached list.
