CONSENT AGENDA
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin, Deputy City Administrator
FOR: August 15, 2011 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Extension of Conditional Use Permit for a Drive-thru and Outdoor
Seating at 2210 W Elm Street
ATT: Ordinance ORD-09-1482
Background. In September 2009 the attached ordinance granting a conditional use permit
was approved by the City Council for the property on West Route 120 containing Cardinal
Fitness, a tanning salon and liquor store. The intention of the ordinance was to allow a small
coffee shop or similar business to locate at the west end of the strip building with an adjacent
drive-thru facility.
Analysis. The city's zoning ordinance contains a provision automatically revoking a
conditional use permit if such permit is not established or a building permit is not obtained
within one year from the date of ordinance approval. The city's ordinance also requires any
expansion, enlargement, or structural alteration to be presented to the City Council which may
grant approval or require the applicant to present the case to the Planning and Zoning
Commission at a public hearing.
Staff has been approached by an entrepreneur who would like to open a coffee shop at this
location with the ability to have a drive-thru facility. Although the attached ordinance is over
a year old there have been no substantive changes at this location warranting further review
and the applicant has agreed to comply with all the conditions in the attached ordinance. Staff
is requesting the ability to allow the applicant to move forward under the existing conditional
use permit pending building permit submittal to the city within six months.
Recommendation: To approve an extension of the attached conditional use permit for a
period of six months or February 15, 2012, pending the submittal of a building permit
application within that time frame.
ORDINANCE NO. ORD-09-1482

ORDINANCE TO AMEND MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 1 SECTION 1-8(8) RELATING TO
COLLECTION COSTS
Deputy Administrator Martin stated as Council will recall the City implemented a revised
Administrative Adjudication Ordinance last year and the entire adjudication process was
formalized and has been functioning well. Occasionally, Staff has proceeded to take property
maintenance cases to McHenry County Circuit Court following continued non-compliance at the
conclusion of the administrative adjudication process. In such instances, Staff requires the
services of its municipal attorney and to date the expenses incurred by such services have not
been remunerated as there is not a provision in the Municipal Code providing for the
reimbursement of those expenses. Staff has prepared an ordinance addressing the
shortcomings in the collection cost provision of Chapter 1 of the Municipal Code and presents
the ordinance for Council consideration this evening.
Alderman Glab opined the amendment to the Municipal Code is needed to tighten the
provisions of the code for technical reasons.
Alderman Condon noted Council was aware when the administrative adjudication
process was implemented there would be amendments to it from time to time. Alderman Santi
concurred.
Motion by Glab, seconded by Condon, to accept Staffs recommendation to approve an
ordinance amending Municipal Code Chapter 1 Section 1-8(b), Collection Costs, as presented.
Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Condon.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: Peterson.
Motion carried.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin, Deputy City Administrator
FOR: August 15,2011 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Amendment to Ordinance 0-87-424, Zoning Map Amendment and
Variances for the property located at 3610 W Elm Street
ATT: Location map
July 7, 2011 PZC meeting minutes
Ordinance approving Amendment to CUP, Zoning Map Amendment and
Variances
Ordinance 0-87-424
PZC application packet
Background:
The McHenry Township Fire Protection District is seeking to construct an administrative
facility addition to the east side of their existing building located at 3610 W Elm Street (Fire
Station #1). The addition will be used for operations and administration, meeting space
including a 160-seat auditorium-style room, and miscellaneous office space.
Initial approval from the City Council as a conditional public use for a firehouse station with
offices was granted by Ordinance 0-87-424 in July of 1987 along with several building
setback variances. Approximately one year ago the fire district acquired two properties
directly to the north, 1301 and 1303.N Richmond Road, for future expansion. Attached are
site and landscape plans and building elevations depicting the building addition and site layout
incorporating the two additional properties on North Richmond Road. The property at 1301 N
Richmond Road currently zoned C-5, was formerly a six-unit apartment complex and the
property at 1303 N Richmond Road currently zoned RM-2 High-Density Multi-Family
Residential, was a one-time residence used as a professional office building.
Analysis:
Zoning Map Amendment: Many years ago the district acquired the property at the northwest
part of the site and an existing home was demolished but the property was never utilized.
This property, Parcel 5 on the Consolidation Plat, is zoned RS-4 High-Density Single-Family
Residential and the adjacent Parcel 1 directly to the south is also zoned RS-4. The property at
1303 North Richmond Road (Parcel 7) is zoned RM-2 High-Density Multi Family
Residential. Redevelopment and addition of the two recent purchases will become one zoning
lot with the same zoning classification of C-5 Highway Commercial. The primary use of the
property will not be altered. The properties being rezoned will be used for parking and the
intensity of the use will remain unchanged and will not adversely impact adjacent properties.
Expansion of existing Conditional Public Use Permit 0-87-424: Due to the proposed building
and land area expansions, the conditional public use is required to be amended to reflect
changes beyond the scope of initial approval detailed on the attached site plan. The
intersection of North Richmond Road and West Elm Street will be improved in the next few
years with dual left-hand turn lanes and extended tapers along with the general
reconfiguration of the intersection. The applicant is working with IDOT on access locations
along West Elm Street and North Richmond Road. Left-hand turning movements onto/from
North Richmond Road will be prohibited by the general public and limited to emergency
vehicles only with adjacent pavement demarcated indicating such. While the area of the site
has expanded the north portion of the property remains essentially unchanged as it will remain
as parking for the site. The abutting uses off of North Richmond Road remain high-density
multi-family residential. Further, with the proposed road improvements, the use on the
subject property is appropriately located and staff has no concerns with the request.
Variances to the Landscaping and Screening Ordinance: Two variances from the landscaping
and screening ordinance are being requested, including elimination of a parking lot landscape
island and a reduction in the required 15' residential landscape buffer to a minimum of 7.5'.
The proposed north parking area adjacent to the apartment building on North Richmond Road
contains twenty-three parking spaces without an intermittent landscape island after the
fifteenth space as required by ordinance. Additionally, this row of parking extends into the
required 15' residential screening strip but maintains a minimum separation of 7.5'. To the
north and east of these respective areas is a retaining wall with intermittent landscaping, and,
in accordance with the ordinance, can be used in conjunction with trees and shrubs abutting a
residentially-zoned parcel for screening purposes.
Staff supports both of these variances due to space constraints but would recommend a four-
foot wooden fence be placed on top of the retaining wall. This will serve as an acceptable
screen for residential properties to the north. The district has agreed to preserve two large
trees at the northwest corner of the site however the preservation of a large tree along Freund
Avenue prevents the installation of a sidewalk. The district has agreed to contribute $6 per
square foot in lieu of installing a commercial sidewalk extending along Freund Avenue from
its terminus at the northern end of the existing building to the northern property boundary.
Variances to the Off-Street Parking and Loading Ordinance: The applicant is requesting
variances from the off-street parking and loading ordinance to allow a third driveway and to
exceed the maximum 12'/lane and 36'/total width for non-residential driveways. The
proposed site plan contains three driveways accessing public parking areas. The driveway off
West Elm Street and the access off Freund Avenue south of the second driveway are only for
emergency vehicles entering and exiting the building. Currently, there are four driveways,
one on Freund Avenue, two on Elm Street, and one off North Richmond Road. The West Elm
Street driveways will be removed and a driveway off Freund Avenue will be added. Staff has
no concerns with these requests as the degree of variance is actually decreasing from what
currently exists by removing driveways on West Elm Street.
Planning and Zoning Commission:
At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, concerns from abutting property owners to
the north and west were expressed regarding screening, drainage and safety related to the
installation of the retaining wall. The district has met with the owners of these properties on
separate occasions to address their concerns as best as practical and staff will continue to work
with the property owners throughout the building permit approval process.
Recommendation:
Staff concurs with the Planning and Zoning Commission's unanimous recommendation to
approve the attached ordinance authorizing:
1) Approval of a Zoning Map Amendment for Parcel 7 from RM-2 High-Density Multi-
Family Residential to C-5 Highway Commercial and for Parcels 1 and 5 from RS-4
High-Density Single-Family Residential to C-5;
2) Approval of an amendment to Ordinance 0-87-424, Conditional Public Use to allow a
building addition and site expansion (Parcels 1-7) in substantial accordance with the
geometric site plan and building elevations prepared by 222 Architects dated June 24,
2011 consisting of two sheets, and the landscape plan prepared by uplandDesign ltd.
dated June 29, 2011 consisting of two sheets (collectively"SITE PLAN");
3) Approval of Variances to the Landscaping and Screening Ordinance to allow the
development of the subject property in substantial accordance with the following
conditions: a four-foot high solid wooden fence be erected on the proposed retaining
wall along the entire length of the northern property line and a contribution of$6 per
square foot be made to the city in lieu of the installation of a commercial sidewalk
from the existing sidewalk terminus at the southern end of Freund Avenue on the east
side to the northern property boundary on the east side of Freund Avenue; and,
4) Approval of Variances to the Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements to allow a
third driveway and increase in total width for a non-residential driveway.

application for the following zoning relief as submitted by Mchenry Township Fire Protection
District for the property located at 3610 West Elm Street:
1. Zoning map amendment from RS-4 High Density Single-Family Residential to C-5

6. Variances to the Landscape and Screening ordinance regarding parking screening and

7. Variance from front and corner side yard building setback requirements;
8. Any other variances necessary and proper for the intended use of the subject property.
Chairman Schepler stated Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Northwest Herald
on June 22, 2011. Notices were mailed to all abutting property owners of record as required
by ordinance. The subject property was posted. A Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of
Compliance with notice requirements are on file in the City Clerk's Office.
In attendance were the following, who were sworn in by Chairman Schepler:
Jim Militello, Attorney
Ken Schaefer, Architect
Kelly O'Connor, Architect
Tim Schmitt, Architect
Alan Miller, Trustee MTFPD
Bob Meyer, Trustee MTFPD
Mark Justen, Trustee MTFPD
Tony Huemann, Fire Chief.
Attorney Militello provided the commission with a summary of the fire district's request
which essentially provides for an expansion of the administrative facilities located at Station
1, 3610 West Elm Street. The size of the new facility will be approximately 4,700 square feet
in area. The site will include operations and administration headquarters for the district. In
order to accommodate the proposed expansion zoning relief is being sought. The district is
requesting zoning map amendment for residential zoning parcels on the subject property as
well as an amendment to ordinance no 0-87-424 which granted the initial condition public
use permit for the existing site. Several variances are also required to permit the proposed
facility expansion. Variances relate to landscape and screening, off-street parking and loading,
driveway width and building setback requirements.
Attorney Militello noted the district purchased two additional properties, Parcels 6 and 7 for
their expansion, depicted on the Plat of Consolidation. The total site area is approximately 2
acres. Mr. Militello explained the proposed zoning map amendments and criteria, Table 33,
used to evaluate such amendments and stated his belief the applicant meets those criteria. He
explained the request for variances due to the uniqueness of the property. The applicant is
requesting to construct 23 parking spaces without a parking lot landscape island and is
requesting a variance from the residential landscaping and screening requirements to reduce
the residential landscape buffer to a minimum of 7.5'. Mr. Militello also explained the need
for the driveway variances, to allow a third driveway and allow each driveway lane to exceed
12' and a total width of the proposed driveways to exceed 36' which is the maximum
permitted in the city's zoning ordinance. He detailed plans for the proposed retaining wall on
the north side of the property and the elimination of approximately 100' of retaining wall at
the northwest part of the site which will facilitate efficient drainage from the property.
Deputy Administrator Martin provided the staff report and clarified the requests being sought,
separating from the original list of requests published as part of the public notice. He
reiterated the history of the district's original approval in 1987 and detailed the zoning map
amendment requests. He stated staffs opinion of supporting the zoning map amendments, as
they met the criteria established in Table 33 of the zoning ordinance. Deputy Administrator
Martin detailed plans for expanding the existing conditional public use permit approved in
1987, provided an overview of the future Richmond Road/Elm Street road improvements and
stated the redevelopment of the site at 3610 W Elm will not result in a substantial change to
the property as it currently sits and reiterated staff s support of the conditional public use
permit expansion request. Mr. Martin detailed the variance requests regarding the elimination
of a parking lot landscape island and reduction of the residential landscape buffer to a
minimum of 7.5'. He restated the plans of the district to install a new retaining wall along the
north property line and stated staff s recommendation to install a four-foot high wooden fence
on-top of the proposed retaining wall. He said this was an acceptable and appropriate screen
because it would provide a physical barrier for children playing on the property to the north.
In staffs opinion, installing landscaping north of the proposed retaining wall/fence would be
impractical due to long-term maintenance and relative survivability of the vegetation. Deputy
Administrator Martin stated the district's intent of preserving two large trees at the northwest
portion of the site and the impossibility of doing so while installing a sidewalk extension on
the east side of Freund Avenue. He stated staff s recommendation that the district provide a
monetary contribution in lieu of the sidewalk installation in this location.
Deputy Administrator Martin reiterated and explained the fire district's requests for two
variances from the off-street parking and loading ordinance: the first, to exceed 12'/driveway
lane and total allowable driveway width of 36% and the second, to allow a third driveway.
Mr. Martin explained the site currently has four driveways; and, as a result of the
redevelopment, one existing driveway would be eliminated. Additionally, the district is
eliminating the two vehicular driveways on Elm Street which staff believes is a great public
safety benefit. Mr. Martin reiterated when the initial approval was granted in 1987 the
driveway construction portion of the off-street parking and loading ordinance was in the city's
municipal code. Since that time, the driveway requirements were incorporated into the zoning
ordinance.
Martin stated staff s recommendation:
1. Approval of Zoning Map Amendment for Parcel 7 from RM-2 High-Density Multi-
Family Residential to C-5 Highway Commercial and for Parcels 1 and 5 from RS-4
High-Density Single-Family Residential to C-5. Staff finds all requirements of Table 33
have been met and
2. Approval of an amendment to Ordinance 0-87-424, Conditional Public Use, to allow a
building addition and site expansion(Parcels 1-7) in substantial accordance with the
geometric site plan and building elevations prepared by 222 Architects dated June 24,
2011 consisting of two sheets and the landscape plan prepared by upland Design ltd
dated June 29, 2011 consisting of two sheets (collectively "SITE PLAN"). Staff finds
that the requirements in Table 31 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met and;
3. Approval of Variances to the Landscaping and Screening Ordinance to allow the
development of the subject property in substantial accordance with the SITE PLAN with
the following conditions: a four-foot high solid wooden fence be erected on the
proposed retaining along the entire length of the northern property line and-a
contribution be made to the City in lieu of installation of a commercial sidewalk from
the existing sidewalk terminus at the southern end of Freund Avenue on the east side to
the northern property boundary on the east side of Freund Avenue. Staff finds the
requirements of Table 32 of the zoning ordinance have been met and;
4. Approval of Variances to the Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements to allow a
third driveway and increase in width for a non-residential driveway. Staff finds the
requirements of Table 32 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met.
Chairman Schepler invited questions and comments from the commissioners.
Commissioner Doherty sought clarification on the extent of the proposed retaining wall. Mr.
Militello handed out a detail of the proposed retaining wall to the Commissioners depicting
the location, height variations and installation detail. Mr. Schmitt stated they had acquired
more specific information on grading which result in a slight change in the retaining wall
design. Mr. Schaefer stated that 100' of retaining wall was eliminated from the original site
plan submittal. Mr. Militello stated the petitioner's concurrence with the conditions of
approval imposed by staff.
Mr. Schmitt went into further detail about the proposed retaining wall. Chairman Schepler
asked about the type of retaining wall being proposed. Mr. Schmidt answered it would be
similar to the existing concrete wall. Mr. Schaefer stated the retaining wall height fluctuates
but would maintain an above-grade barrier to adjacent properties to the north. Commissioner
Thacker sought clarification on the fence style proposed on-top of the proposed concrete
retaining wall to the west. Schaefer explained differences in fence styles and that vertical
boards would be used on the proposed fence to discourage people from climbing the fence.
Commissioner Buhrman asked for further explanation regarding questions and responses from
the Illinois Department of Transportation(IDOT)relating to the proposed roadway
improvements for this intersection. Schaefer went into detail about the proposed access points
from the subject property onto Elm and Richmond Roads.
Chairman Schepler asked how emergency vehicle traffic would flow onto Elm Street and
Illinois Route 31 (Richmond Road), as well as onto Freund Avenue. Schaefer provided a
detailed explanation of which vehicles accessed each of the roadways. Chairman Schepler
asked how employees would access the site. Schaefer explained the evolution/history of the
fire district, detailing paid-on-call, permanent staff and who is inside the building. He stated
they still needed to work with IDOT on the design and function of the Freund Avenue access
onto Elm Street, full, right-in/right-out, etc.
Commissioner Buhrman asked about the location of the public sidewalk after IDOT had
completed their roadway improvements. Mr. Schmitt provided further clarification regarding
the future right-of-way location and sidewalk location.
Chairman Schepler opened the public hearing to questions and/or comments from people in
the audience. Each of the following was sworn in by Chairman Schepler.
Ray Walsh, 3614 Freund Avenue: Mr. Walsh stated the 15' residential landscape buffer
should be provided and a variance to reduce it should not be granted. When the site is
redeveloped there will be 30 cars within 7' of his house. Mr. Walsh noted a wrought iron
fence would be more acceptable than a wood fence. The proposed plan is unacceptable. He
also questioned the height of the retaining wall. Mr. Walsh also noted the code requires the
applicants to provide a tree survey and he has not seen evidence of one provided. Regarding
the contaminated ground, he questioned why the applicant could build on contaminated land.
Mr. Schaefer and Mr. Schmidt went into further detail and explanation about the location,
distance and width of retaining wall and buffer from the residential properties to the north.
There would be no more than eight inches of concrete retaining wall visible on the Walsh side
of the property.
Mr. Walsh further stressed additional landscaping should be required to property screen his
property from the subject property. He opined the four-foot wood fence would be the easy
way out to provide screening.
Attorney Militello noted the applicant would not be increasing any environmental concerns as
a result of the facility expansion. He noted the tree survey would be provided to the City along
with the building permit application.
Robert Walsh, 1307 Richmond Road: Mr. Walsh stated his concerns regarding the proposed
landscaping and screening and variance sought. Mr. Militello stated the fire district is open
and wants to be a good neighbor. Several conversational exchanges occurred between Robert
and Ray Walsh and the applicant and representatives of the applicant and staff regarding the
landscaping, screening, retaining wall and proposed fence type. Robert and Ray Walsh
expressed their displeasure with the proposed plans, the inadequacy of landscaping and
screening, the proposed 4' wooden fence and potential increase of noise which would be
generated from the subject property.
The applicant and representatives responded to the questions and concerns; however, Robert
and Ray Walsh did not appear to be satisfied with the responses and began to argue and
became somewhat verbally confrontational. Deputy Administrator Martin and Chairman
Schepler tried multiple times to interrupt and bring order to the meeting but it became very
difficult as Ray and Robert Walsh remained unsatisfied, continued to state and restate their
displeasure and concerns about the lack of landscaping, height of the proposed retaining wall,
storm water management, and inappropriate fence type, implying it was proposed because it
was the cheapest and easiest way to address the issue. Verbal exchange also occurred
regarding existing trees on the property, on the property line, and the status of the trees
following the improvements of the property.
Deputy Administrator Martin attempted to explain the purpose of public comment and
directed Robert and Ray Walsh to state any additional concerns, ask any further questions
which hadn't already been asked and then to allow the applicants an opportunity to respond.
Ray and Robert Walsh continued to express displeasure regarding the construction of the four-
foot wood fence, indicating they would prefer extensive landscaping be utilized instead,
which would be more aesthetically pleasing. Attorney Militello responded the district would
take the complaints regarding the proposed landscaping plan into consideration as the project
moved forward. He noted the fence would provide a safety feature so that children would not
fall from the retaining wall. Further questions were asked by the Walsh's regarding the
landscaping of the parking perimeter and the entire site. Attorney Militello responded
additional landscaping and reduced impervious surface is shown on the site plan.
Ray Walsh inquired if storm water management would be addressed. Deputy Administrator
Martin responded this issue would be addressed during the building permit review process.
Pam Gough. 3615 W Freund Avenue: Ms. Gough sought clarification and more detail
regarding the height of the proposed berm at the northwest portion of the property, as this was
directly across from her driveway. Mr. Schmitt provided clarification of the proposed height
of the berm. Ms. Gough stated her concern about the in and out traffic flow from the fire
district site and stated it was an accident waiting to happen. She expressed further concern
about cut-through traffic from Richmond Road west to Freund Avenue via the subject
property. She also thanked the district for saving the two large trees. Mr. Militello stated
traffic has also increased over the years and he also indicated the traffic from the subject
property is consistent with the proposed C-5 Highway Commercial District zoning
classification.
Chairman Schepler closed public comment at 8:43 p.m.
Commissioner Thacker sought more explanation about the egress onto Richmond Road for
northbound traffic. Mr. Schaefer explained the need for emergency vehicles to exit onto
Richmond Road, as well as members from the fire district's Johnsburg location to bring
equipment from Richmond Road into the site. Deputy Administrator Martin stated the left-
hand turn into the site from Richmond Road and the left-hand turn from the site onto
Richmond Road were proposed for emergency vehicles only.
Commissioner Doherty asked for more clarification on vehicles cutting through the fire
district site from Richmond Road to access Freund Avenue. Mr. Schaefer stated this was a
concern of the McHenry public works department but believed the district's parking lot, from
Richmond Road to Freund Avenue would not be a very desirable way for vehicles to access
Freund Avenue.
Commissioner Nadeau asked what the height of the radio tower was. Mr. Schaefer responded
he believed it could not exceed 65' and be in compliance with the city's zoning ordinance.
Deputy Administrator Martin indicated that was correct. Commissioner Nadeau asked if there
was any thought given to placing the tower on-top of the building. Mr. Schaefer sated there
had been no discussion to that regard and indicated with the height required the tower would
become very unstable during high wind events. Deputy Administrator Martin also noted the
structural integrity of the building would also need to be readdressed as the tower would
compromise the structural integrity of the building if placed on the roof.
Motion by Nadeau, seconded by Doherty, to recommend approval to the City Council, with
regard to File No. Z-771, an application for the following zoning relief as requested by the
McHenry Township Fire Protection District for their property located at 3610 West Elm
Street:
1. Zoning Map Amendment for Parcel 7 from RM-2 High-Density Multi-Family
Residential to C-5 Highway Commercial and for Parcels 1 and 5 from RS-4 High-
Density Single-Family Residential to C-5;
2. Amendment to Ordinance 0-87-424, Conditional Public Use, to allow a building
addition and site expansion(Parcels 1-7) in substantial accordance with the geometric
site plan and building elevations prepared by 222 Architects dated June 24, 2011
consisting of two sheets and the landscape plan prepared by upland Design ltd dated
June 29, 2011 consisting of two sheets (collectively"SITE PLAN");
3. Variances to the Landscape and Screening Ordinance to allow the development of the
subject property in substantial accordance with the SITE PLAN subject to the following
conditions being met:
a four-foot high solid wooden fence be erected on the proposed retaining wall along the
entire length of the northern property line;

from the existing sidewalk terminus at the southern end of the east side of Freund
Avenue to the northern property boundary on the east side of Freund Avenue;
4. Variances to the Off-Street Parking and Loading Ordinance to allow a third driveway on
the site and an increase in width for a non-residential driveway with a total driveway in
excess of 36 lineal feet;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MCHENRY, MCHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: That the SUBJECT PROEPRTY is hereby granted a Zoning Map
Amendment for Parcel 7 from RM-2 High-Density Multi-Family Residential to C-5 Highway
Commercial and for Parcels 1 and 5 from RS-4 High-Density Single-Family Residential to C-
5 legally described on attached Exhibit A.
SECTION 2: In granting said Zoning Map Amendment, the City Council finds that
the requirements of Table 33 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met in that:
1. The requested zoning classification is compatible with the existing uses and zoning of
property in the environs;
2. The requested zoning classification is supported by the trend of development in the
general area;
3. The requested zoning classification is consistent with the objectives of the City of
McHenry Comprehensive Plan; and
4. The requested classification promotes the public interest.
SECTION 2: That the SUBJECT PROEPRTY is hereby granted an amendment to
conditional use permit authorized by 0-87-424, conditional public use, to allow a building
addition and site expansion(Parcels 1-7) in substantial accordance with the geometric site
plan and building elevations prepared by 222 Architects dated June 24, 2011 consisting of two
sheets and the landscape plan prepared by uplandDesign ltd dated June 29, 2011 consisting of
two sheets (collectively "SITE PLAN").
SECTION 3: In granting said Amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit, the
City Council finds that the requirements of Table 31 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met
in that:
1. Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in
the zoning district has been minimized.
2. Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste disposal, blockage of
light or air, or other adverse environmental effects of a type or degree not
characteristic of permitted uses in the zoning district, have been appropriately
controlled;
3. The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or man-made
character of its surroundings, and with permitted uses in the zoning district.
The use will not have undue deleterious effect on the environmental quality,
property values, or neighborhood character already existing in the area or
normally associated with permitted uses in the district.
4. The proposed use will not require existing community facilities or services to a
degree disproportionate to that normally expected of permitted uses in the
district, nor generate disproportionate demand for new services or facilities, in
such a way as to place undue burdens upon existing development in the area;

6. The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility
pertinent to the Conditional Use and its particular location.
SECTION 4: That the SUBJECT PROEPRTY is hereby granted approval of
variances to the landscaping and screening ordinance to allow the development of the subject
property in substantial accordance with the SITE PLAN with the following conditions: a
four-foot high solid wooden fence be erected on the proposed retaining along the entire length

SECTION 5: That the SUBJECT PROEPRTY is hereby granted approval of
variances to the off-street parking and loading requirements to allow a third driveway, in
substantial conformance with the SITE PLAN, and increase in width for a non-residential
driveway.
SECTION 6: In granting said Variances, the City Council finds that the requirements
of Table 32 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met in that:
1. Special circumstances exist that are peculiar to the property for which the variance
is sought and that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning
district. And these circumstances are not of so general or recurrent a nature as to
make it reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them.
2. The special circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character of
the land or building(s) for which the variance is sought, such as dimension,
topography, or soil conditions. They do not concern any business or activity the
present or prospective owner or tenant carries on, or seeks to carry on, therein, not
to the personal, business, or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant or any
other party with interest in the property.
3. The special circumstances that are the basis for the variance have not resulted from
any act of the applicant or of any other party with interest in the property.
4. The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in
unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from a mere
inconvenience.
5. A Variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial
property right possessed by other properties in the same zoning district and does
not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied to other properties in the district.
6. The granting of a Variance is necessary not because it will increase the applicant's
economic return, although it may have this effect, but because without the variance
the applicant will be deprived of any reasonable use or enjoyment of the property.
7. The granting of a Variance will not alter the essential character of the locality nor
substantially impair environmental quality, property values, or public safety or
welfare in the vicinity.
8. The granting of a Variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent
of the Zoning Ordinance and of the Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in
light of any changed conditions since their adoption.
9. The Variance requested is the minimum required to provide the applicant with
reasonable use and enjoyment of the property.
SECTION 7: All Ordinances or parts thereof in conflict with the terms and provisions
hereof are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
SECTION 8: This Ordinance shall be published in pamphlet form by and under the
authority of the corporate authorities of the City of McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois.
SECTION 9: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage, approval, and publication in pamphlet form as provided by law.

WHEREAS, Petitioner, the McHenry Township Fire Protection
District, is the owner of the above described premises, and,
WHEREAS, Petitioner, McHenry Township Fire Protection District,
is requesting the issuance of a conditional use permit to construct a fire
station house with offices and is also requesting a variation from the C-5
classification permitting a minimum front yard depth of not less than one foot
on the west front yard facing Freund Avenue; a minimum front yard depth of not
less than twenty feet on the south front yard facing Elm Street; and a minimum
north side yard width of seventeen feet, and,
WHEREAS, a hearing was held before the City of McHenry Zoning
Board of Appeals on the 29th day of June, 1987, at which time the said Zoning
Board of Appeals did take evidence and view exhibits presented thereat by the
Petitioner, and,
d �
WHEREAS, based on the evidence heard, the Zoning Board of Appeals
found, and the City Council hereby concurs with said finding, that it would
serve the interest of the City if a conditional use permit was granted for the
construction of a fire house station with offices because:
a) Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not
otherwise typical in the zoning district has been minimized.
b) Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste
disposal, blockage of light or air, or other adverse environmental effects of
a type or degree not characteristic of Permitted Uses in the zoning district,
have been appropriately controlled.
c) The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing
natural or man-made character of its surrounding, and with Permitted Uses in
the zoning district. The use will not have undue deleterious effect on the
environmental quality, property values, or neighborhood character already
existing in the area or normally associated with Permitted Uses in the
district.
, d) The proposed use will not require existing community
facilities or services to a degree disproportionate to that normally expected
of Permitted Uses in the district, nor general disproportionate demand for new
services or facilities, in such a way as to place undue burdens upon existing
development in the area.
e) The proposed use will not be detrimental to the safety or
health of the employees, patrons, or visitors associated with the use nor of
the general public in the vicinity.
f) The proposed use is in harmony with any other elements of
compatibility pertinent in the judgment of the Council to the particular
Conditional Use or its particular location, and,
WHEREAS, based on the evidence heard, the Zoning Board of Appeals
found, and the City Council hereby concurs with said findings, that it would
serve the interest of the City if front yard and side yard variations were
granted because:
a) special circumstances exist that are peculiar to the property
that do not apply generally to other properties in this zoning district. And
these circumstances are not of so general or recurrent nature as to make it
reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them;
N,
b) The special circumstances referenced herein relate to the
physical character of the building and the dimensions of the land. They do
not concern any business or activity the present or prospective owner or
tenant carries on, or seeks to carry on, therein, nor to the personal,
business, or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other
party with interest in the property;
c) The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance
have not resulted from any act of the applicant or of any other party with
interest in the property;
d) The strict application of the provisions of this Ordinance
would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as
distinguished from mere inconvenience;
e) A variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and
enjoy a substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same
zoning district and does not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied to
other properties in the district;
f) The grant of a variance is necessary not because it will
increase the applicant's economic return, although it may have this effect,
but because without a variance the applicant will be deprived of any
reasonable use or enjoyment of the property;
g) The granting of the variance will not alter the essential
character of the locality nor substantially impair environmental quality,
property values, or public safety or welfare in the vicinity;
h) The granting of a variance will be in harmony with the
general purpose and intent of this Ordiance and of the Comprehensive Plan of
the City, as viewed in light of any changed conditions since their adoption;
i) The variance, if recommended by the Board of Appeals and
approved by the City Council, is the minimum required to provide the applicant
with reasonable use and enjoyment of his property.

Table 32 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance provides that in recommending approval or conditional
approval of a variance, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit to the City Council written
findings that all of the conditions listed below apply to the requested action.
Please respond to each of these conditions as it relates to your request.
1. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere
Special circumstances exist that are particular to the property for which the variance is sought and that do F.iot
apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district; and these circumstances are not of so general
or recurrent a nature as to make it reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them.
The intended use for the property is the expansion of Station #1 for the McHenry Township Fire Protection
District. This use should be considered unique to this specific zoning district and of special circumstance
particular to this property. These circumstances are not of so general or recurrent a nature as to make it
reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them.
2. Circumstances Relate to Property Only
Since a variance will affect the character of its surroundings long after a property changes hands, the special
circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character of the land or building(s) for which a
variance is sought, such as dimensions, topography, or soil conditions; and they do not concern any business
or activity the present or prospective owner or tenant carries on or seeks to cant' on therein, or to the
personal, business or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other party with interest in the
property.
The variances requested are specific to the intended use of this property for a fire station expansion and are
considered required to allow for the proper and safe use of this building for this function by the Fire District
staff. In addition, it should be understood that the District's intent is to maintain this properly as currently
proposed from here on out to protect the public safety or welfare.
3. Not Resulting from Applicant Action
The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance have not resulted from any act of the applicant or
of any other party with interest in the property.
The special circumstances that are the basis for the variances have not resulted from any act of the applicant
or of any other party with interest in the property.
FORM D Page I of 2
4. Unnecessary Hardship
The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue
hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience.
The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue
hardship upon the applicant,not just a mere inconvenience,based on the intended use of the property.
5. Preserves Rights Conferred by District
A variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial property right possessed by
other properties in the same zoning district, and does not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied to other
properties in the district.
Although the variances can be considered a special privilege ordinarily denied to other properties in the
district, it should be taken into consideration that the intended use is unique to the zoning district as it is for a
Public Use that will maintain the public safety and welfare of the vicinity.
6. Necessary for Use of Property
The granting of a variance is necessary not because it will increase the applicant's economic return, although
it may have this effect, but because without a variance the applicant will be deprived of any reasonable use
or enjoyment of the property.
The granting of the variances are necessary because without the variances the applicant will be deprived of
necessary development that would allow for the proper and safe function of the proposed expansion of the
fire station.
7. Not Alter Local Character
The granting of a variance will not alter the essential character of the locality nor substantially impair
environmental quality,property values, or public safety or welfare in the vicinity.
It is the applicant's intent to continue to provide this facility in this particular location in a manner that is
harmonious to the essential character of the area without substantial impairment to the environmental quality
or the property values. It should be considered that this facility might even positively affect the property
values and will most definitely impact the public safety and welfare.

The granting of the variance will.be ui harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance
and Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in light of any changes conditions since their adoption.

the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in light of any changes or conditions

FOR: August 15, 2011 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Request for Sign Variances for McHenry Township Fire Protection
District
ATT: Sign Exhibit
Background. McHenry Township Fire Protection District is requesting sign variances to allow
a second freestanding sign, an additional 43.3 square feet of freestanding sign area with an
electronic message display exceeding 33% of total sign area for Station No. 1 located at 3610
West Elm Street.
The district needs to obtain a variance for an additional free standing sign and to permit the area
of electronic signage to exceed the percentage allowed by ordinance. The city's sign ordinance
permits only one free standing sign. The fire district would like to locate an electronic sign,
consisting of approximately 48 square feet, and keep their existing sign, which is about 71 square
feet. Our ordinance prohibits electronic message area to exceed 33% of the total sign area.
With the proposed new sign, the fire district's electronic message area will be 76% of the total
sign area.
Analysis. The district currently has a monument sign as depicted on the attached exhibit, which
may be relocated in the future following the IDOT intersection Improvements project. The
location of the proposed electronic sign is part of the overall redevelopment of the property. The
total area of the electronic portion of the sign proposed is approximately 36 square feet and will
be installed along North Richmond Road. The location of the sign will be outside of the vision
clearance area adjacent to the parking lot at the southeast portion of the property.
Electronic signs such as the one proposed are commonly installed on public buildings. Staff has
received no complaints about electronic signs and believes they are minimally intrusive.
Continuous blinking, interference with traffic signals and intense illumination is prohibited. This
type of sign will not be a distraction and will provide public benefit if emergency information is
required to be disseminated by the district within a short time period.
Recommendation. Approval of the sign variances as presented.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin,Deputy City Administrator
FOR: August 15,2011 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: First Amendment to Economic Incentive Agreement McHenry Commons
Shopping Center
ATT: Ordinance approving First Amendment to Economic Incentive Agreement
First Amendment to Economic Incentive Agreement w/proposed changes
marked
Background. On June 6, 2011 the City Council approved an economic incentive agreement
with Regency Centers in the form of a sales tax rebate to partially offset the capital investment
required to fill the remaining square footage in the former Dominick's building with a Hobby
Lobby store. The Council will recall the terms in the approved agreement allow the shopping
center owner to receive a maximum rebate of $1 million over a 20-year term. Regency
Centers seeks to amend the original economic incentive agreement to address issues that came
up through the course of finalizing lease terms with Hobby Lobby.
Analysis. The language changes proposed by Regency Centers are highlighted in the attached
First Amendment to the Economic Incentive Agreement. The changes in section 4.1 relate to
Regency Centers agreeing to have Hobby Lobby complete improvements to the property it is
leasing,the former Dominick's grocery store.
The changes in Section 4.1 allow Regency to receive reimbursement by way of payment to
Hobby Lobby. In the original agreement, Regency could only receive reimbursement for is
expenditures for improving the leased premises and the former Dominick's store. The
amendment allows Regency to seek reimbursement for payments it makes to Hobby Lobby for
completing building improvements.
The language changes later in Section 4.1 seek the city to acknowledge that Regency may ask
to be reimbursed for less than it expends on the project. * Regency Center representatives
explained to staff that they may not seek reimbursement for their own expenses or payments
for expenses by Hobby Lobby that are not eligible under the terms of the agreement.
The other substantive changes to the agreement are found in sections 10.1 and 10.8. Based on
its lease with Hobby Lobby, Regency Center sought the flexibility to not assign the agreement
to successors. Finally, for business reasons, the shopping center owner requested to add
section 10:8 to clarify its ability to waive the city's payment of the sales tax incentive at a later
date.
Staff is comfortable with the proposed amendments as they do not substantially alter the
substance of the approved agreement and the amendments will not adversely impact the City in
any manner.
Recommendation. Approval of the attached ordinance authorizing the Mayor's execution of
the First Amendment to Economic Incentive Agreement.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John Jones, Chief of Police
FOR: August 15, 2011, Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Authorization to establish a Mutual Aid Agreement between the City of
McHenry and Village of Johnsburg Police Departments
ATT: Ordinance
Mutual Aid Agreement
Background. Throughout the history of law enforcement, police departments have had
situations arise where manpower and equipment resources have been hard to come by. In these
situations, it is a common practice for departments to request the assistance of other agencies,
often in the form*of additional manpower and/or specialized equipment to handle particular
circumstances.
-a
However, Illinois statutes do provide some layers of jurisdictional protection for officers in these
circumstances. A modern stance has been to develop and enact mutual aid agreements between
neighboring departments, thereby providing additional protection for officers and municipalities
and, at the same time, eliminating various technical procedures that tend to waste valuable time
in the case of emergencies. Furthermore, mutual aid agreements have been in place in the fire
service discipline for decades and have become one of the backbones of effective interagency
cooperation between fire departments. Given the proximity and contiguous borders that we
share with the Village of Johnsburg, such an interagency/mutual aid agreement would benefit
both municipalities and afford the police departments the opportunity to maximize manpower,
resources and service to our citizens.
Analysis. The cooperation between the McHenry Police Department and the Johnsburg Police
Department would be augmented in such a way that both agencies could take advantage of what
the other has to offer, while at the same time increasing the services they bring to their respective
communities and to their own officers. Specific areas of cooperation that would be greatly
enhanced upon the enactment of this agreement include, but are not limited to:
1. McHenry Police Street Crimes Unit—Currently, this unit, which, due to manpower is
only activated for one week per month, yet it is responsible for a multitude of
narcotics arrests, currency and vehicle seizures, and removal of a significant amount
of illegal narcotics from our streets. Developing a mutual aid agreement
Johnsburg would open the door for our narcotics investigations to move outs' with
McHenry, thereby allowing Johnsburg PD to add an officer to the unit, which outside of
st
more activations producing more arrests, producing more narcotics off of the street.
Further, whereas the addition of a Johnsburg officer(s) to the unit would r
McHenry Investigations with more manpower, it would also afford Joasburovide
with the opportunity to have a unit to investigate narcotics cases within their borders.
This is a win-win situation for both communities and police departments.
2. McHenry Police Detective Division
boundaries and involve offenders from otherrlocations.Policeen Being that tinvestigat1John ons cross city
close proximity and contiguous to McHenry, these situations develop often an
Johnsburg is in
having such a mutual aid agreement would steam-line the investigative Process for
both departments. Resources would be multiplied. Manpower would be multiplied.r
Investigative tools would be shared and enhanced. Criminal intelligence as well a
suspect/offender intelligence would also be multiplied and shared. s
resources and sources of information would be enhanced, leadin All these
likelihood of successful investigations. g greater
3. McHenry Patrol Division — One of the primary concerns for our patrol division is
safety of uniformed of on the street. At anme, the
limitation that we and Johnsburg PD have, an officer's back-up unit may be mwith inutes
away. In violent, life and death circumstances, extra minutes can have a grave impact
on an officer's safety. This agreement stream-lines the process by which officers
from neighboring agencies can respond to other jurisdiction when an officer calls for
back-up. In those dangerous situations where an officer is calling for help, seconds
count and any procedure that can be enacted that eliminates those useless seconds is a
benefit to all involved.
4. Overall Equipment and Manpower — In these tough economic times, equi ment an
sufficient manpower are sometimes very hard to come by. This is true not only for
routine patrol and investigative functions of the departments, but also of the extensive
amount of special detail and events McHenry and Johnsburg officers are responsible
for. These events, such as Fiesta Days, Fourth of July Functions, Saufen and S eil
parades, sporting events, high school events and many others, put a strain of the
respective police departments. Having additional manpower and equipment to handle
these events is a welcome sight and ensures a more effective patrol and enforcement
of the event.
