Re: Block Party Request
Background. Traditionally, during the summer and fall months, the Clerk's Office receives
numerous requests for permission to hold block parties within the City limits. The requests
usually entail blocking off streets at specific locations within a particular subdivision. The Public
Works Department provides barricades. The Fire District offers a visit by personnel and/or a fire
truck, as well. Inasmuch as City streets are closed for these events, City Council permission must
be granted. Following Council approval, the Police Department, Public Works Department,
McHenry Township Fire Protection District, and the Applicant are notified in writing of the
approval.
The following Block Party Request was received and requires Council approval:
Saturday October 30t'from 3 p.m.until midnight
Annette Maldonado of 214 Bamwood Trail is requesting the closure of Barnwood Trail between
214 Barnwood Trail and 215 Barnwood Trail in the Trails of Winding Creek Subdivision.
Copies of the request and PIQ map are attached for your edification.
Recommendation. To approve Block Party Request as submitted.

REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCES — 305 NORTH FRONT STREET,
TOMMY'S TRANSFER STATION
In attendance representing the applicant, Tommy's Transfer Station, were: Attorney
Michael Poper, Engineer John Tierney (Baxter and Woodman), and Architect Steve Barnes.
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated a request for zoning relief was submitted by
Attorney Michael Poper on behalf of Tommy's Transfer Station for its property located at 305
North Front Street. The applicant is seeking:
1. A conditional use permit to allow a mini-warehouse storage facility and a drive-in
establishment in the strip mall on the subject premises;
2. A variance to allow more than one principal building on the site; and
3. A variance to allow a lot width of less than 200 feet along an arterial street.
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated the Planning and Zoning Commission
considered the matter at a public hearing held on August 19, 2010 and unanimously
recommended its approval according to the specification of the site plan submitted with the
application.
Alderman Santi stated in viewing the drawings of the proposal the project presents itself
well. He inquired if the building of all elements of the project would occur concurrently.
Attorney Poper responded in the affirmative. Noting the security lights indicated on the rear

portion of the property on the site plan, Alderman Santi inquired if they would be motion
sensitive. Attorney Poper responded in the affirmative. He stated there would be Staff present
to monitor the mini-warehouse use between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily. Entry to
the mini-warehouse area would be achieved by keypad.
Alderman Glab inquired if garage doors would be facing north on the most northern
mini-warehouse building. Attorney Poper responded all garage doors would face internally to
the site. The rear of the buildings, which would be visible from the road, would be comprised of
brick fascia.
In response to an inquiry, Attorney Poper stated security fencing would be utilized
adjacent to the detention pond.
Alderman Glab inquired if the detention pond would meet the needs of detention for
the area. Mr. Tierney stated the detention pond would meet the McHenry County Stormwater
Protection Ordinance. Alderman Glab opined if the area holds water it is actually retention and
not detention. Mr.Tierney stated the area may be planted with wetland plants. A dry bottom is
no longer permitted. Alderman Glab expressed his concerns regarding maintenance of the
detention area.
Alderman Schaefer inquired if the final plan for the development would come before
Council. Deputy City Administrator Martin responded in the affirmative. Alderman Schaefer
inquired if the cross-access agreement with the owner of the Fountain Shoppes has been
finalized. Attorney Poper responded in the negative.
Alderman Schaefer inquired if adequate turning radius has been included on the site
plan for emergency vehicle access. Attorney Poper responded the entire site plan meets the
McHenry Township Fire Protection District requirements.
Alderman Schaefer inquired as to the access point to the office space for the mini-
warehouse storage facility. Mr. Poper responded the office would be located in the southwest
corner of the strip center building. Access to the office would be on the south side of the
building.
Alderman Wimmer asked where the site would be landscaped. Mr. Barnes responded
predominantly on the north and south sides of the site as well as across the rear of the
property.
Alderman Peterson suggested the cross-access point be moved further west on the
property. Mr. Barnes responded the elevation may be high to the west, but they would be
happy to discuss moving the access point with both property owners. Alderman Peterson
inquired as to the projected plans for the property to the west of the site. Deputy City

Administrator Martin responded the property is very wet and belongs to the Pacini Group.
Alderman Peterson expressed concerns regarding detention.
Alderman Condon stated the project appears to be well thought out.
Alderman Peterson inquired as to the access for maintenance of the detention pond.
Mr. Barnes replied there would be a gate in the security fencing which would allow for
maintenance of the area.
Attorney Poper pointed out it is the intent of the property owner to share the fascia and
look of the Fountain Shoppes. The retail strip center would be constructed on a line with the
Fountain Shoppes. From the highway it would give the appearance that the two are a single
shopping center.
Alderman Glab stated he would have preferred to see a topographical map of the area.
Mr.Tierney responded surface water flows mostly to the west from the site.
Alderman Schaefer inquired where snow would be stored following removal from the
parking lot. Mr. Barnes responded the snow would be moved toward the back of the property
(to the west).

ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE CHAPTERS VII AND XIX RELATING TO
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND TRAILERS INCLUDING ONE-YEAR AMORTIZATION PROCESS
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated Staff has repeatedly encountered difficulty in
enforcing the existing regulations regarding the parking/storing of recreational vehicles and
trailers. At hand are recommended definition modifications. Staff also discussed limiting the
Regular Meeting
Page 6
September 20,2010
number of recreational vehicles permitted to be stored outside on a premise. It was Staff's
opinion it would be best to not be overly restrictive.
Deputy City Administrator Martin noted the Community Development Committee
discussed this matter at great length. A Public Hearing was held before the Planning and Zoning
Commission on June 17, 2010 and was recessed to July 8, 2010 for further discussion with the
result that there was no recommendation from the Commission (3-3 tie) with regard to this
matter.
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated it is also being recommended that a one-year
amortization period be granted from time of adoption of the ordinance. He noted even though
the Planning and Zoning Commission did not recommend the text amendment it is Staffs
recommendation to pass an ordinance approving the text amendment with regard to parking
recreational vehicles and trailers.
Alderman Peterson inquired if one year was adequate time for all residents to bring
their property into compliance with the ordinance. Deputy City Administrator Martin
responded Staff tried to take into consideration a time that would not place a burden upon any
residents.
Alderman Glab opined this matter should not have been rushed through. He stated it
has not been adequately analyzed. He further stated he would prefer to have the ordinance be
more restrictive.
Alderman Schaefer asked about parking surfaces not covered in the ordinance. Deputy
City Administrator Martin responded a lot of variables exist regarding parking and paving
surfaces. Discussion ensued regarding older driveways and the necessity of bringing them up to
current code.
Alderman Condon noted the proposed amendments to the recreational parking
ordinance do not negate the regulations currently being enforced which might be more
restrictive.
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Santi, to accept Staffs recommendation to pass an
ordinance providing for a text amendment to the City's Zoning Ordinance relating to the
parking of recreational vehicles and trailers as presented.
Voting Aye: Santi,Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Condon.

ORDINANCE AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 2.25 ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUDICATION
AND CHAPTER 7 SUBSECTION XVII SUBSTANDARD AND DANGEROUS BUILDINGS TO INCLUDE
DEMOLITION REPAIR ENCLOSURE OR REMEDIATION
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated the City has the option of enforcing violations
regarding unsafe buildings and those which may be considered to be uninhabitable or
unsanitary, through the administrative adjudication process. In order to accomplish this, an
amendment to the administrative adjudication chapter of the Municipal Code is required. An
ordinance has been prepared by the City Attorney's office which would provide for the
authority to handle such unsafe, unsanitary or uninhabitable buildings through the City's
administrative adjudication process. Deputy City Administrator Martin noted if Council passes
the ordinance provided, it would also delete the provision regarding Substandard and
Dangerous Buildings from Chapter 7 of the Municipal Code, as it would no longer apply.
Alderman Glab inquired about the reason a tax purchaser requires notification. City
Attorney McArdle responded this language is required by State Statute.
Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Santi, to accept Staff's recommendation to pass an
ordinance providing for the amendment of the Municipal Code Chapter 2.25 Administrative
Adjudication adding a provision for demolition, repair, enclosure or remediation, and to delete
Chapter 7 Subsection XVII Substandard and Dangerous Buildings in its entirety.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin,Deputy City Administrator
FOR: September 27, 2010 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Regulations for Commercial Vehicles
Background. Following the discussion and proposed regulations for recreational vehicles the definition
and regulations for the placement and storage of commercial vehicles in residential zoning districts was
considered based on the difficulties experienced by the Construction and Neighborhood Services
Department in enforcing the current regulations.
Definition of Recreational Vehicle and Trailer
Below is the current definition of commercial vehicle.
p. 513 of the zoning ordinance
Commercial Vehicle: A motorized vehicle other than a passenger car, passenger van; or recreational
vehicle used by a household for non-commercial personal or family transportation, for recreation, or for
van pooling or ride-sharing use. Commercial vehicles include commercial trucks, buses, buses used as
recreational vehicles, commercial vans,tractors, semi trailers, motorized farm vehicles, and earth-moving
equipment(existing definition).
The existing definition as currently written is vague and severely limits what constitutes a commercial
vehicle.
Below is staffs proposed revised definition for commercial vehicle.
Commercial Vehicle: A motorized vehicle other than a passenger car, passenger van, or recreational
vehicle (as defined herein) used by a household for non-commercial personal or family transportation,
van pooling or ride-sharing use (proposed definition).
T
Reeulations for Commercial Vehicles
Parking of Commercial Vehicles
Below are the current regulations for commercial vehicles.
A. In Residential Districts
No commercial vehicle as defined herein may be parked or stored in a Residential District other than in a
completely enclosed garage except for Ioading or unloading of household belongings between 6:00 AM
and midnight for the purpose of moving a personal residence or for deliveries, repairs, construction,
maintenance,or service calls.
B. In Business Districts
No commercial vehicle as defined herein may be parked or stored in a Commercial or Office District
other than in a completely enclosed garage unless it is used in a business located on the same premises or
is being parked temporarily by a customer, supplier, contractor, or visitor or for loading, unloading,
moving,or construction,maintenance, or repair of the premises.
The existing regulations for the parking of commercial vehicles in residential districts is very restrictive
and does not take into account that many people have jobs where they are permitted to bring their work
vehicle home. Under these regulations no commercial vehicles can be parked outside in a residential
zoning district overnight.
Below are staff s proposed revised regulations for commercial vehicles.
The only change that staff would recommend regarding conunercial vehicles in business districts is to
change the heading from business districts to non-residential districts. Staff has not experienced any
problems with commercial vehicles in non-residential areas and does not want to make any substantive
changes to the current regulations. Staff is more concerned, at this point, with updating the regulations
for commercial vehicles in residential districts.
These provisions are proposed to replace the existing requirements for having commercial vehicles in
residential districts:
• No commercial vehicle, as defined herein, exceeding 9 feet in height and 25,feet in length may be
parked and/or stored in a residential zoning district. Exterior ladders and any appurtenances on
top of the vehicle shall be excluded from the height calculation; The following commercial
vehicles are expressly prohibited from being parked and/or stored in a residential zoning district:
stake bed trucks, box trucks, dump trucks, boom trucks, earth-moving equipment, tow trucks, step
vans, semi tractor trailers with or without a trailer and any vehicle in excess of 10,000 pounds;
• Two commercial vehicles, as defined herein, that do not exceed 9 height and 25 feet in length may
be parked and/or stored in a residential zoning district in accordance with the regulations for
parking and/or storing of vehicles in a residential zoning district contained in the zoning
ordinance.
Staff has attached pictures of various commercial vehicles. The following vehicles would be permitted
and do meet the proposed height and length requirements under the terms of this ordinance: sprinter van,
cargo van, cube van and panel van. Staff did field verify that generally these types of vehicles are in
compliance with the proposed height and length restrictions.
Staff has confirmed that most of the commercial vehicles driven home daily and kept overnight in a
residential zoning district would be permitted to do so under the proposed terms of this ordinance.
Several vehicles were measured to verify this.
Amortization
Staff believes that a one-year amortization time frame be established, following the passage of this
ordinance by the City Council, whereby residents who do not meet the new regulations can come into
compliance. During this one-year time frame staff will educate residents on the newly adopted
regulations.
Community Development Committee. At the March 16, 2010 Community Development Committee
meeting (minutes attached) the Committee considered amendments to the current commercial vehicle
regulations and recommended staff proceed with the proposed changes.
Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the amendments
to the zoning ordinance with regards to commercial vehicles at two meetings and requested further
clarification from the city attorney regarding the regulation of commercial vehicles in residential districts
and First Amendment issues (letter from city attorney dated 6/24/10 is attached). The Planning and
Zoning Commission did not vote on proposed amendments to the commercial vehicle regulations until
the Special Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting on July 8, 2010 (both sets of minutes attached).
The most discussion occurred regarding whether one or two commercial vehicles should be permitted in a
residential zoning district. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended (5-1) the proposed text
amendment relating to the definition and regulations of commercial vehicles parking in residential
districts be approved subject to the condition that only one commercial vehicle be allowed on a residential
premises overnight.
Staff Recommendation. Approval of the attached ordinance amending Chapters VII and XIX of the City
of McHenry zoning ordinance with regards to commercial vehicles, including a one-year amortization
period from the date of passage of this ordinance, as presented. Staff is not proposing any revisions to its
initial proposed regulations which would permit two commercial vehicles in a residential zoning district.

Discussion Regarding Commercial Vehicle Regulations
Deputy City Administrator Martin informed the Committee that following the discussion and
proposed regulations for recreational vehicles, Staff has been re-evaluating the definition and
regulations for placement and storage of commercial vehicles based on the difficulties
experienced by the Construction and Neighborhood Services Department in enforcing the current
regulations.
Deputy City Administrator Martin indicated that the existing definition for Commercial Vehicles
is vague and severely limits what constitutes a commercial vehicle. Staff is recommending the
following definition for commercial vehicles:
Commercial Vehicle: A motorized vehicle other than a passenger car, passenger
van, or recreational vehicle (as defined herein) used by a household for non-
commercial personal or family transportation, van pooling or ride-sharing use.
Deputy City Administrator Martin provided the Committee with existing regulations for the
parking of commercial vehicles found in the City zoning ordinance on Page 170. He stated that
the existing regulations for the parking of commercial vehicles in residential districts is very
restrictive and does not take into account that many people have jobs where they are permitted to
bring their work vehicle home. Under these regulations no commercial vehicles can be parked
outside in a residential zoning district overnight.
Staff recommends regarding commercial vehicles in business districts, changing the heading
from business districts to non-residential districts. Staff has not experienced any problems with
commercial vehicles in non-residential areas and does not want to make any substantive changes
to the current regulations. Staff indicated that they were more concerned, at this time, with
updating the regulations for commercial vehicles in residential districts.
The provisions proposed to replace the existing requirements for having a conunercial vehicle in
residential districts are as follows:
i No commercial vehicle, as defined herein, exceeding 9 feet in height and
25 feet in length may be parked and/or stored in a residential zoning
district. Exterior ladders and any appurtenances on top of the vehicle shall
be excluded from the height calculation. The following commercial
vehicles are expressly prohibited from being parked and/or stored in a
residential zoning district: stake bed trucks, box trucks, dump trucks,
boom trucks, earth-moving equipment, tow trucks, step-vans, semi-tractor
trailers with or without a trailer, and any vehicle in excess of 10,000
pounds.
e Two commercial vehicles, as defined herein, that do not exceed 9 feet in
height and 25 feet in length may be parked and/or stored on a lot in a
residential zoning district in accordance with the regulations for parking
and/or storing of vehicles in a residential zoning district contained in the
zoning ordinance.
Staff provided the Committee with photographs depicting proposed pennitted and prohibited
commercial vehicles in residential zoning districts. Staff verified that the vehicles depicted as
permitted do meet the proposed height and length requirements under the temis of the new
ordinance.
Staff has verified that most of the commercial vehicles driven home on a daily basis and which
are kept overnight in a residential zoning district would be permitted to do so under the proposed
terms of the new ordinance. Several vehicles were measured to verify this. Additionally, Staff
verified the maximum weight of a large residential-type pick-up truck and this does not exceed
the 10,000 pound maximum weight restriction.
Staff believes that a one-year amortization time frame be established following the passage of the
ordinance by the City Council. This one year amortization would allow those residents that
currently do not meet the new regulations ample opportunity to come into compliance. Staff will
educate residents during the ensuing one-year amortization period regarding the newly adopted
regulations.
Chairman Aldennan Condon opined that a one-year amortization period is ample time to comply
with the new regulations.
Motion by Santi, seconded by Condon, to direct Staff to proceed with the proposed
changes and present the revised Ordinance to Rill Council for direction to present the matter
before the Planning and Zoning Commission at a Public Hearing.
Aye: Condon, Santi.
Nay: None.
Absent: Glab.
Motion carried.

Deputy City Administrator Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this
matter. He noted the current residence is non-conforming and in order for the applicant to
construct his desired addition, he would require a one-foot variance. Staff has reviewed the
request and supports the minor variance as submitted.
Chairman Howell invited questions and comments from the Commission.
Responding to an inquiry, Mr. Golnick stated the size of the addition is approximately 19'8" by
40'. The addition would include two rooms and a hallway. He noted there would be a patio door
out of the smaller room.
Question was raised as to the possibility of hitting an abandoned well or septic during the
construction of the addition. Deputy City Administrator Martin stated all construction issues
would be addressed during the permit review and inspection processes.
When asked about the status of the soil on the premises, Mr. Golnik stated he had soil tests
completed, but he has not yet received the report. At this time he is unsure if the addition would
be constructed on a slab, or if he would be required to use caissons or piers. He will know more
when he has received the soils report.
Mr. Golnik stated he would be the general contractor for the project.
Chairman Howell noted there was no one in the audience wishing to comment on this matter.
Motion by Nadeau, seconded by Buhrman, to recommend to City Council, with regard to File

Chairman Howell stated Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Northwest Herald on
May 29, 2010. A Certificate of Publication is on file in the City Clerk's Office.
Deputy City Administrator Martin, stated Staff has experienced great difficulty in attempting to
enforce the City's current regulations regarding the parking of recreational and commercial
vehicles. To that end the matter was presented to the Community Development Committee for
discussion and direction. The result is that the Committee has developed more concise
definitions as they relate to these two categories of vehicles, and clearer regulations governing
the parking of the vehicles in the residential districts.
Recreational Vehicles
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated the recommendation was to amend the definition to
more accurately reflect what is meant by a recreational vehicle. Additionally, the definition of
trailer is being amended to more clearly identify all of the potential uses for trailers. The
definition also includes specific exclusions in order to avoid confusion.
Deputy City Administrator Martin noted the following changes are also being proposed to the
regulations governing recreational vehicles:
1. Only one recreational vehicle or trailer shall be permitted in the required front yard or
required corner side yard as defined herein;
2. Trailers must be property licensed;
3. Additional recreational vehicles and trailers shall be maintained, kept, stored and/or
parked on an approved solid parking surface:
a. Which shall be no less than the minimum dimensions of the vehicle or trailer being
parked thereon,but in no case shall the parking surface be less than 9' by 18%
b. Which shall be designed and constructed so as not to allow grass or other vegetation
to grow within, on or above the solid parking surface;
c. Which may consist of brick, asphalt, concrete or paver brick.
Deputy City Administrator Martin noted the new definitions and regulations should assist in
determining how to enforce parking requirements and guidelines. These definitions and
regulations would replace those currently existing in the Off-Street Parking chapter of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Commercial Vehicles
Deputy City Administrator Martin stated the Committee also looked at the parking of
commercial vehicles in the residential districts. The Committee recommended simplifying the
definition for ease of enforcement. It was noted that many residents have jobs where they are
permitted to bring their work vehicles home. Under the current regulations no commercial
vehicles can be parked outside in a residential district overnight. Staff concurs with the revised
definition and would change the "In Business Districts" regulations to "Non-Residential
Districts" thereby creating regulations for in the residential districts and the non-residential
districts.

Deputy City Administrator Martin presented the following regulations for commercial vehicles
in residential districts:
1. No commercial vehicle, as defined herein, exceeding 9 feet in height and 25 feet in length
may be parked and/or stored in a residential zoning district;
a. Exterior ladders and any appurtenances on top of the vehicle shall be excluded from
the height calculation;
b. The following commercial vehicles are expressly prohibited from being parked and/or
stored in a residential zoning district: stake bed trucks, box trucks, dump trucks,boom
trucks, earth-moving equipment, tow trucks, step-vans, semi tractor trailers with or
without a trailer, and any vehicle in excess of 10,000 pounds in weight;
2. Two commercial vehicles, as defined herein, that do not exceed 9 feet in height and 25
feet in length may be parked and/or stored in a residential zoning district in accordance
with the regulations for parking and/or storing of vehicles in a residential zoning district
contained in the Zoning Ordinance.
Deputy City Administrator Martin noted, currently, any vehicle which has a D or above
registration with the state is prohibited from parking in the residential district. Staff believes
making the proposed changes would provide a more practical approach to regulating parking of
recreational and commercial vehicles in the residential districts as opposed to the current
license/registration-driven requirements.
Chairman Howell invited questions and comments from the commissioners.
It was noted that there are many vans and trucks which exceed the 10,000 pound maximum
requirement.
Chairman Howell stated it appears the proposed changes make it easier to park a commercial
vehicle in the residential neighborhoods. He opined that the residential neighborhoods which are
zoned RS3 and greater in area (RS2, RS1, E) should not be allowed to have commercial vehicles
parked on them. He stated he would not support making it easier to have commercial vehicles
being parked in the residential neighborhoods. He noted a home in his neighborhood has a small
commercial bus which they use for transporting their large family. He does not believe this is
appropriate. He further stated a vehicle which is designed for commercial use should not be
allowed to be parked or stored in the residential district.
Ekstrom concurred with Howell. She stated her preference to limit the number of commercial
vehicles to one on a site rather than two. She further stated she would prefer that the vehicles be
smaller in size. The proposed large size of admissible commercial vehicles should be reduced.
Chairman Howell also stated that passenger vehicles with commercial graphics should also be
banned from the residential district. He stated he concurs with the proposed changes to the
recreational vehicle definitions and regulations.
Ekstrom inquired if formerly the recreational vehicles could be parked in front of the house.
Deputy City Administrator explained there currently exists a hierarchy of permissible parking for
recreational vehicles in the residential district (i.e. first it should be stored in the garage, if large
Planning and Zoning Commission
June 17,2010
Page 5
enough; otherwise it shall be parking in the driveway to the rear of the building line; otherwise it
shall be parked in the driveway ahead of the building line; otherwise in an open off-street
parking space).
Thacker stated recreational vehicles are not typically stored in a garage. He noted he has a panel
work van in his neighborhood. He stated he would rather look at the panel van than a large
camper or recreational vehicle.
Chairman Howell stated he would not be in favor of liberalizing either the parking/storage of
recreational vehicles or commercial vehicles.
Thacker noted there are some commercial vehicles being parked in his neighborhood. The
vehicles are regular vans with commercial decals.
Deputy City Administrator Martin questioned whether the City has the right to regulate
writing/graphics on vehicles.
Chairman Howell requested City Attorney Cahill to research the issue of freedom of speech
relative to commercial vehicles' graphics/advertising and being prohibited from parking in a
residential district. Chairman Howell opined passenger cars with graphics are actually billboards
on wheels.
Attorney Cahill stated commercial freedom of speech is not as protected as other freedoms of
speech; however, she is not sure how protected they are. She agreed to research the issue.
Buhrman noted he has a popup camper which is parked in his driveway during the summer
months. He suggested recreational vehicles should only be stored in driveways or in the
residential districts between May 1" and November 1st: Otherwise,they should be stored off-site.
Chairman Howell suggested having size limits for recreational vehicles as well as for
commercial vehicles.
Ekstrom stated the proposed new definitions are acceptable. The proposed regulations governing
recreational vehicle storage are appropriate. However, she stated she is not in favor of being
more lenient with regard to the storage of commercial vehicles in the residential districts.
Chairman Howell invited questions/comments from the audience.
Jason Golnick of 3317 West Venice Avenue addressed the Commission, stating he wished to
comment on the proposed amendments. He noted he has a large pickup truck and will use it to
transport his family as it would accommodate the needed three infant car seats. He noted there is
advertising on the back of the truck. The vehicle is too large to be stored in his garage. He feared
if stricter regulations, as suggested by the commissioners, were adopted he would be unable to
store his vehicle on his premises. Mr. Golnik acknowledged there are plenty of old trucks, panel
vans, etc. being stored around town that should be cleaned up or removed and he would concur
that the City would be best served to be rid of them. He further stated he formerly had a job with
Planning and Zoning Commission
June 17,2010
Page 6
a heating and air conditioning company. As a perk he was permitted to take the company vehicle
home and use it as a second vehicle. He opined if more stringent regulations were adopted as
proposed by the commissioners, he would be unable to take advantage of a similar situation
today.
Mr. Golnik went on to say that having more than one commercial vehicle on a site might be
necessary but he concurred there should be no more than two commercial vehicles on a site.
Chairman Howell suggested the City might have to allow variances to permit commercial
vehicles to be parked or stored in the residential district rather than broadening the parking
restrictions as proposed by the Community Development Committee. Chairman Howell noted he
did not want to be too restrictive but when the Aesthetics Committee met several years ago the
Committee drafted criteria for recreational and commercial vehicle storage and he opined those
are the regulations which should be considered by the City at this time.
Mr. Golnik stated he knows many people who have boats, recreational vehicles, etc. but he
encourage the City to make it a requirement that these people prove they are actually using these
vehicles and not just buying them and storing them on their premises. If unused, these vehicles
become an eyesore to the neighborhood.
Chairman Howell closed the Public Comment portion of the Public Hearing.
Chairman Howell indicated the Commission must decide whether to make a reconunendation
regarding the proposed text amendments at this time.
Motion by Thacker, seconded by Ekstrom, to send the proposed text amendments regarding the
parking and storage of recreational and commercial vehicles in the residential district back to
Staff for further study relative to the discussion which occurred at this meeting, specifically with
regard to freedom of speech considerations relating to graphics and writing on commercial
vehicles, and to bring the matter back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration

File No. Z-755
Text Amendment
Chairman Howell reconvened the Public Hearing to order at 7:31 p.m. regarding File No Z-755, an
application for Text Amendment relating to definitions and regulations pertaining to recreational vehicle
and commercial vehicle parking in the Zoning Ordinance as submitted by the City of McHenry.
Chairman Howell stated the Public Hearing was held on June 17, 2010 and continued to this date at the
request of the commission. Staff was directed to seek clarification regarding Freedom of Speech issues
relating to commercial vehicle signage.
Deputy City Administrator Martin noted the Attorney Cahill has provided a memo outlining the legal
opinion as it relates to enforcing parking of commercial vehicles in the residential district in light of
Freedom of Speech parameters. The memorandum was provided for commissioners' edification. He
noted Staff has not changed its recommendation with regard to the proposed amendments relating to
the parking of recreational and commercial vehicles in the residential district.
Chairman Howell invited questions and/or comments from the Commission.
Buhrman inquired if Chairman Howell had any comments, inasmuch as he expressed many concerns at
the Hearing on June 17cn
Chairman Howell responded he would not favor easing restrictions regarding the parking of either
commercial or recreational vehicles in the residential districts. He noted he would like to see the
proposal submitted by the Planning and Zoning Aesthetics Committee be considered by the City. He also
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 8,2010
Page 2
noted he concurs with the proposed definitions for both commercial vehicles and recreational vehicles.
But he does not concur with easing parking restrictions for these vehicles in the residential district.
Chairman Howell stated he would approve an amendment which would be more restrictive. However if
the motion includes the current proposal of refined definitions with less restrictions, he will vote against
the amendment.
Brief discussion occurred regarding whether a motion should be made to include both the proposed
amendments for commercial and recreational vehicles. Deputy City Administrator suggested two
motions, one for recreational vehicles and another for commercial vehicles, be made in order to provide
clarity to Council regarding the matter.
Thacker noted in the past the City has encountered difficulties regarding the enforcement of these types
of parking violations. He opined there is not enough Staff to properly enforce these regulations. He
inquired as to Staffs posture on enforcement. He inquired if any/all city employees could possibly note
violators as they traveled throughout town. If a City employee of any department noted a vehicle being
parked on the grass, they should ensure that the violation is acted upon. He stressed this should happen
despite the department in which the employee worked.
Deputy City Administrator Martin noted violations are handled on a complaint-driven basis. When
complaints come into the Construction and Neighborhood Services Department they are logged in, a
complaint form generated, and followed up by department personnel. Additionally, if a complaint is
received in a particular neighborhood, the area is inspected for other similar violations to ensure
equality of enforcement. He noted all complaints are taken seriously. They are followed through and
pursued until remedied, Deputy City Administrator Martin noted it is impossible for the department
Staff to drive on all the City streets every day.
Chairman Howell noted he does not have a problem with Staff not driving over every street every day.
However, if a resident complains, the potential violation should be explored. Chairman Howell opined
the City should adopt a more restrictive commercial vehicle definition as proposed by Staff. However, he
reiterated is could not support easing the parking restrictions of vehicles in the residential district.
Chairman Howell noted there was no one in the audience wishing to offer comments or questions
regarding this matter.
Motion by Buhrman, seconded by Schepler, to recommend to the City Council with regard to File No. Z-
755, an application for text amendment relating to definition and regulations pertaining to recreational

Re: Commercial Vehicle Regulation in Residential Districts:
First Amendment Tissues
Dear Doug:
In follow-up to the Planning and Zoning meeting, we researched the First Amendment
issues involved in any potential regulation of vehicles with commercial writing (a/k/a
commercial motor vehicles: CMVs) in residential zoning districts. It is our opinion that the City
would be able to limit and/or restrict CMVs with commercial lettering in residential districts as
"off premise" sipage. The other issue discussed by the Commission with regard to CMVs in
residential districts—whether large CMVs can be regulated or prohibited in residential districts-
is a matter of settled law which the City may certainly regulate, and does not pose any
constitutional questions
Regarding the prohibition of commercial lettering on vehicles, this First Amendment
question arose in the context of the Commission's discussion on how to regulate CMVs in
residential districts to preserve the residential character of the City's neighborhoods.
Commercial speech is protected under the First Amendment so long as it is truthful and not
misleading. However, even if truthful,it does not enjoy the same protections as non-commercial
speech such as political speech. There are a couple general rules to follow. First, regulations on
commercial speech are generally valid if they are reasonable restrictions on the"time, place, and
manner" of the message. Second, the regulation will be valid if its goal is a legitimate
governmental interest,if it directly advances that interest, and if it goes no further than necessary
in accomplishing that objective.
Thankfully, a generation of constitutional law on commercial speech has clarified these
broad principles in the specific context here: whether commercial signage on vehicles can be
regulated in a residential zoning district. This question has been dealt with in the context of"off-
premise" advertising and commercial speech; that is, whether suns and commercial speech can
be located in zoning districts or lots other than that of the business that they represent. Under the
Illinois courts' interpretation of First Amendment law, regulating "off-premise" commercial
speech and signs constitutes a valid "time, place, and manner" restriction. National Advertisin-g
Zukowski,Rogers, Flood &McArdle
Mr. Douglas Martin
June 24, 2010
Page 2
Co. v. Village of Downers Grove. 204 Ill.App.3d 499 (2n'Dist. 1990). The U.S. Supreme Court
has held that aesthetics are a legitimate governmental interest, that municipalities may prohibit
off-premise commercial advertising to directly advance that interest, and that restricting off-
premise signs go no further than necessary, since the elimination of each prohibited sign furthers
the legitimate interest in aesthetics. Metromedia, Inc. v. City of San Diego,453 U.S. 490 (1981).
An outright ban on off-premise signs in residential districts is also permissible even if
there are exceptions (for example, real estate "For Sale" signs and those for government speech
such as public notices of zoning hearings). Lavey v. City of Two Rivers, 171 F.3d 1110(7" Cir.
1999). Vehicles may be included in the definition of off-premise signs. See Long Island Bd. of.
Realtors, Inc. v. Incorporated Village of Massaueaua, 130 F.Supp.2d 369 (E.D.N.Y.,2001).
However, the more exceptions that are allowed, the more constitutionally suspect the regulation
will then be. Prus v. City of Chicago, 711 F.Supp.469 (N.D.Ill.,1989).
Given the volume of case law in support of off-premise sign regulations, we believe that
the best way to regulate vehicles with commercial signage in residential districts is to include
them in the definition of"off-premise commercial signs" and prohibit off-premise commercial
signs in residential districts. Exceptions should be limited to "For Sale" signs and not much
more. Trying to specifically regulate vehicles with commercial writing may be too specific (see
Marras v. City of'Livonia, 575 F.Supp.2d 807 [E.D.Mich.,2008]), although there is a chance that
such regulations would be upheld in Illinois given the Illinois precedents on point.
Obviously, whether the Planning & Zoning Commission and ultimately the City Council
wishes to make the City's regulations more or less restrictive is a policy decision. The above
analysis is meant merely to provide you with the legal parameters of the law on this issue.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Kelly A. Cahill

FOR: September 27,2010 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Advertising Sign for Patriot Estates
Cunat Inc.,Applicant
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Photo of Sign
2. Letter from Stefanie Spitson dated 8/20/10
Background. A letter was received from Stefanie Spitson of Cunat,Inc.requesting a one-year
extension to continue using an existing sign located at the southeast corner of Bull Valley and Crystal
Lake Road. 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.

AGEN SUPPL VIEN` '
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin,Deputy City Administrator
FOR: September 27,2010,Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Request for extension to submit Final Plat for Brooke Estates
Applicants: Andreas and Deborah Szechowycz .
ATTACHMENT: Letter from Andreas and Deborah Szechowycz dated 9/2/10
Background. Brooke Estates, which consists of a 6.46 acre property off of Ridge Road and surrounded
to the north, south and east by Deerwood Subdivision,was annexed to the City on September 10, 2007 for
the development of six single-family homes zoned RS-1,Low-Density Single-Family Residential. At that
time the preliminary plat was approved along with the annexation agreement for the subdivision.
The City's Subdivision Control and Development Ordinance states approval of a preliminary plat is
effective for a period of 12 months. Prior to the expiration of the twelve months, either a final plat or a
letter requesting an extension is required. If neither of these are completed the preliminary plat is
considered null and void.
As a result of the difficult economic times a final plat has not yet been submitted for Brooke Estates and
an additional two-year extension is being requested by the developers. The City Council did authorize a
one-year extension last September and also a one-year extension in 2008.
Analysis. Due to the uncertainty associated with the state of the economy staff believes that an additional
one-year extension is warranted at this time and in a year the request can be revisited. Although an
additional extension may be requested next year staff would like to be optimistic in believing the
development could proceed next year.
Recommendation. To approve a one-year extension for Brooke Estates to submit a final plat for review
and approval no later than September 27,2011.

Subject: Brooke Estates Final Plat and Annexation Fee
Reference: City of McHenry Ietter dated August 25, 2010, same subject, from Mr. Martin
Dear Mr. Martin:
Last September 2009 the City Council granted a one year extension for the final plat submittal
for the Brooke Estates Subdivision. At the City Council meeting, we had requested a two year
extension due to the national financial and associated financial crisis and corresponding
significantly depressed real estate market. The impact on housing sales and duration of the
housing market crisis was a common mutual concern between the City Council and us.
The housing market situation has since worsened since that City Council meeting with many
businesses associated with the real estate market going out of business and the inventory of
houses for sale continuing to increase. We believe the housing market woes have not vet hit
bottom. Sales of new construction in the area have been slow and difficult. Houses put on the
market are with a deep discount and with little movement due to the volume of housing, buyer
reluctance, and availability of houses at foreclosure/short sale pricing. We expect this situation to
continue at least for the next few years.
The housing developments in the area are under stress and many developers and builders have
been bankrupted.
At this time the risk of moving forward with the Brooke Estates Subdivision is too high. Due to
the circumstances and the slow economic recovery, we again request a two year extension. We
continue to be highly interested in the Brooke Estates Subdivision and plan on implementing our
plans when there is a housing market recovery. We are residing on our property and look
forward to an improvement in the market which would make development at Brooke Estates
viable.
Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely
