CONSENT AGENDA
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Christopher J. Black, City Administrator
FOR: December 19, 2011 City Council Meeting
RE: Amendment to Municipal Code Chapter 4, Alcoholic Beverages
Background. The Mayor received a request from Bernice Zubrzycki, owner of CEC
Events & Catering, Inc. d/b/a Route 31 Banquets and Conference Center for permission
to offer alcohol off site in conjunction with her catering business. The City of McHenry
liquor ordinance does not offer a classification for catering with alcohol service off site.
The State of Illinois authorizes this type of license conditioned upon prior approval from
the local municipal authority.
Route 31 Banquets and Conference Center is located at 217 North Route 31 . In
addition to catering, the business offers a special occasion facility with food service for
business conferences, weddings, receptions, and special events open to the public.
Ms. Zubrzycki holds a Class A liquor license that permits her to sell alcoholic beverages
at retail only on-premises.
Analysis. Ms. Zubrzycki wants to include liquor service as part of her catering
business to be competitive with other caterers in the area. Her newly remodeled
banquet facility is successful and she is receiving many requests for catering with
alcohol service.
Attached is an ordinance amending Municipal Code Chapter 4, Sections 4-1
Definitions, and Section 4-(6), License Classifications, for the creation of an A(2) liquor
license. The proposed classification shall be issued only to a business that holds a City
of McHenry Class A, Class G 1, or Class H liquor license. The annual fee for a Class A
license is $1 ,400, Class G 1 and Class H is $700. Staff proposes an additional annual
fee of $250 to include the service of alcoholic beverages by the drink for consumption
as an incidental part of catering food service off site of the licensed premises.
Woodstock, Cary, and Huntley offer a liquor classification similar to what is being
proposed by staff. City Attorney McArdle has reviewed the proposed amendments and
the Mayor concurs with staff's recommendation.
Recommendation. To approve the attached ordinance as presented.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4
OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE, CITY OF McHENRY, ILLINOIS,

SECTION 2: Section 4-6, License classification and fees; limitation on
number of licenses, of the Municipal Code, City of McHenry, Illinois, shall be
amended to include the following liquor classifications:
Class A(2) license shall be issued only to a business that is a
caterer-retailer and who presently holds a Class A, Class G 1 , or
Class H liquor license issued by the City of McHenry. The Class
A(2) license authorizes the sale and delivery of alcoholic
beverages by the drink for consumption as an incidental part of
food service off site of the licensed premises. The annual fee
for a Class A(2) license shall be Two Hundred, Fifty Dollars
($250.00).
SECTION 3: If any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, sentence, or
provision of this ordinance shall be adjudge by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair, invalidate or nullify the
remainder thereof, which remainder shall remain and continue in full force and

FOR: December 19, 2011 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Marina Roof Repairs
ATT: Proposal from Charles Copley Roofing, Inc.
Background. Jerry Danko of D's Marine Services, Inc. informed staff the roof over the garage
at Riviera Marina is in poor condition and should be replaced. To prevent further damage to the
structure, staff recommends the roof be replaced as soon as possible.
Analysis. Quotes for the repairs were solicited from three contractors:
Charles Copley Roofing, Inc $6,500
Superior Roofing, Inc. $7,239
ARW Roofing, Inc $7,629
The base quotes range from $6,500 to $7,629 with each contractor quoting additional time and
material for unforeseen conditions such as replacement of plywood, fascia boards, or rotted
wood. Due to the age of the roof and existing leaks, it is likely that there will be additional costs
for replacement of rotted wood. Repairs will be charged to the Marina Fund. Copley Roofing
satisfactorily completed the re-roof for the gazebo in Veterans Memorial Park and submitted the
lowest quote.
Recommendation. To accept the proposal from Charles Copley Roofing Inc. for an estimated
amount of$6,500 for the replacement of the garage roof at Riviera Marina.

APPROVAL OF THE FOLLOWING REGARDING CRYSTAL LAKE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS:
1. IDOT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING IMPROVEMENT BY MUNICIPALITY UNDER THE
ILLINOIS HIGHWAY CODE;
2. PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HR GREEN FOR PHASE I OF
THE PROJECT IN AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED$50 000
In attendance was City Engineer Chad Pieper of HR Green.
Director of Public Works Schmitt stated Council on January 18, 2010 authorized Staff to
seek federal funding for Crystal Lake Road improvements through the Surface Transportation
Program (STP) as distributed by the McHenry County Council of Mayors. The Council of Mayors
awarded $1,500,000 in STP funds to the City of McHenry for the project. The STP funds will pay
for approximately 80% of the project construction cost and Phase III engineering. The City is
responsible for 100%of the cost of Phase I and II engineering.
Director Schmitt noted Staff is seeking approval of an IDOT resolution authorizing the
improvements and approval of an Engineering Services Agreement with HR Green for Phase I
Engineering in the amount not-to-exceed $50,000.
Alderman Wimmer inquired if the project would be comprised of solely grinding and
surface overlay. Director Schmitt responded there could also be spot patching in specific
Regular Meeting
Page 5
December 5,2011
locations where required. In response to Alderman Wimmer's further inquiry, Mr. Pieper stated
the cost for Phase II engineering would be comparable to that of Phase I.
Alderman Peterson inquired if the lane configuration would remain substantially the
same as it is currently laid out. Mr. Pieper responded the lane configuration would remain
basically the same with the exception of modifications required due to drainage issues. He
noted STP funding regulations must be followed. Consequently, the project procedures would
include investigation of traffic counts, traffic signal lights and timing potential drainage issues,
and roadway striping.
. Alderman Condon inquired when the project would be implemented. Mr. Pieper
responded the project is targeted for 2013.
Alderman Santi requested Council be provided with breakout numbers regarding man-
hour costs and estimated number of hours proposed for tasks contained within the engineering
services agreement.
Some discussion followed regarding the proposed cost of the project and the amount
included in the proposed engineering services agreement. Director Schmitt noted IDOT
specifies the amounts which can be charged for Phase I engineering for such a project. The
engineering cost limits are specified in the IDOT resolution before Council for consideration this
evening. Responding to further inquiry, Director Schmitt noted the Phase I engineering for the
project is included in the 2011-2012 Capital Improvement Project Plan.
Alderman Glab noted IDOT's limit for Phase I engineering for the project is 156% over
the engineer's estimate of probable cost. Mr. Pieper responded that was correct. IDOT dictates
the amount of profit allowed for such a project. Alderman Glab inquired why the City did not go
out for bid for the engineering for the project. Director Schmitt responded by State law the City
is not required to go out for bid for engineering services. Typically, municipal engineers provide
engineering services for these types of projects. He further noted HR Green is the City's
engineer appointed annually to fulfill these responsibilities.
Alderman Glab continued, noting when Council appoints the engineer each year they
should not have to accept whatever engineering costs are suggested by the engineering firm.
He opined it is difficult to discern if the firm will provide the best quality of service for the cost
of the engineering services agreement. Director Schmitt responded the City's engineer is only
as good as the faith you have in them and their work. The reason HR Green is reappointed
annually is because Staff has faith in the work they provide to the City.
City Administrator Black noted if the City sought other providers of the engineering
services for each product, it would seek Requests for Proposal for each product. The RFP's
would merely ensure quality service and not ascertain the price/cost of said service in a specific
Regular Meeting

December 5,2011
agreement/contract. City Administrator Black further explained that it is typical of communities
the size of McHenry to have an engineering firm annually appointed.
Alderman Glab stated by utilizing the City's engineering firm for all projects it removes
the element of competitiveness.
Alderman Schaefer inquired as to the scope of the project. Mr. Pieper responded Crystal
Lake Road improvements would occur between Route 120 and Bull Valley Road.
Alderman Santi inquired if state approval would be required regarding the traffic signal
timing, types of lights used, etc. Mr. Pieper responded in the negative. Alderman Santi
requested Staff provide Council with breakdown of proposed man-hours for the agreement.
Alderman Condon inquired if curb and gutter would be added to those areas which
currently are not improved with them. Mr. Pieper responded curb and gutter would not be
added unless required due to drainage issues.
Motion by Schaefer, seconded by Condon, to accept Staff's recommendation regarding
the Crystal Lake Road Improvement Project to:
1. Approve MOT resolution authorizing improvement by municipality under the Illinois
highway code;
2. Approve and authorize the Mayor's execution of a preliminary engineering services
agreement with HR Green for Phase I of the project in an amount not-to-exceed
$50,000.
Voting Aye: Santi, Schaefer, Blake, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.
Voting Nay: Glab.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.

City Administrator Black stated each year the City abates real estate taxes relating to the
various bond issues. Ordinances must be passed and filed with the McHenry County Clerk so
that real estate taxes are not collected for the issued bonds.The following bond payments must

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Assistant City Administrator
FOR: December 19,2011 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: McHenry Rotary 5K Shamrock Shuffle
ATT: Request Letter
Course Map
Background. In conjunction with the St. Patrick's Day Volunteer Parade activities, the
McHenry Rotary Club is requesting permission to once again host a 5K Shamrock Shuffle run on
March 11 t' 2012 at 8:00 AM prior to the parade. Rotary has teamed with the Run Your Life
running club to organize the event, which also assisted with initiating the annual Elementary
Education Foundation Run in Park Ridge Estates and Trails of Winding Creek.
All pre-raice preparations will take place in the area of East Campus High School. Runners will
begin by running west on Waukegan Road, turning south on Green Street, and east on John
Street. Once on John Street runners will wind their way through the Country Club Estates
neighborhood and culminate at the finish line located in the bus lane of East Campus High
School. A map of the course is attached.
Analysis The event would require the temporary closure of a portion of Waukegan Road near
East Campus High School when the race begins for no longer and a portion of Green Street
between Waukegan Road and John Street for no longer than 15 minutes. Staff met with Police
Department staff to analyze the course. Due to the brevity of the street closure, the department is
recommending the use of two duty officers assigned to the neighborhood to provide traffic
control when necessary. No other city services would be required. Last year, the event was held
with no incidents reported or unnecessary burden placed on police services.
Recommendation. To allow the McHenry Rotary Club permission to utilize city streets for a 5K
run on March 11, 2012, from 8:00 AM to 9:30AM and the closure of Waukegan Road from the
East Campus entry to Green Street and Green Street from Waukegan to John Street from 8:00
AM to 8:15AM on the above mentioned date.

Dear City Council Members,
It is with great enthusiasm in which I am making a duplicate request of last year's Rotary Shamrock
Shuffle! It was such a success,the McHenry Afternoon Rotary Club has asked us to repeat it every year!
We are requesting the same route suggested by Bill Hobson, starting and ending at East Campus High
School with the same locations at the comers of Green and Waukegan and Green and John in need of
Police presence. We also agree with all recommendations of Bill Hobson in making this a very successful
event.
The date and times we are requesting are:

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Dduglas Martin,Deputy City Administrator
FOR: December 19, 2011 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Minor Variance Request for the Property at 3324 W Golf View Road
ATT: Location Map
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes dated December 8, 2011
Ordinance granting a minor front yard building setback variance for the
property located at 3324 W Golf View Road
Site plan depicting proposed 15' X 27' garage addition
Background. Homeowners residing at 3324 W Golf View Road are seeking a 15-foot front
yard building setback variance-to construct a 405 square foot addition to their existing garage.
The required front yard building setback is 30' in accordance with the plat of subdivision for
McHenry Golf Course subdivision and the subject property is zoned RS-4, High-Density
Single-Family Residential District. Properties in the RS-4 district are required to maintain a
minimum 25-foot front yard building setback however, when McHenry Golf Course
subdivision was platted, a setback of 30 feet was established.
Analysis. The subject property is located at the northwest corner of W Golf View Road and
Golf View Terrace and the rear and side yard to the south are adjacent to the golf course. The
property owner is seeking a 15' X 27' garage addition east towards W Golf View Road. A
fifteen-foot front yard building setback variance would be required to build the addition as
proposed. Physical constraints of the property due to roadway curvature and topography
significantly impair the applicant. Maintaining a 30-foot setback would not allow expansion to
the existing garage. An expansion of the garage to the north or west would inhibit the size of
the addition due to the drop-off in grade from east to west.
The proposed addition will enhance the site and allow the applicant to store personal property
currently stored offsite indoors, and will not adversely impact adjacent properties. It will not
create a vision clearance problem for vehicular traffic. .
Recommendation. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended
approval of a 15-foot front yard building setback variance to allow the construction of a garage
addition as presented.

Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes
December 8,2011
Chairman Schepler called the December 8, 2011 meeting of the City of McHenry Planning and Zoning
Commission to order at 7:30 p.m. In attendance were the following: Buhrman, Doherty, Ekstrom, Morck,
Nadeau, Schepler, and Thacker. Absent: None. Also in attendance were: Deputy City Administrator
Martin and Deputy City Clerk Kunzer.
Public Hearing:Wm Tonyan and Sons
File No.Z-778
3324 Golfview Avenue
Minor Variance
Chairman Schepler called the Public Hearing to order at 8:16 p.m. regarding File No Z-778 an application
for minor variance to allow a garage addition for the property located at 3324 Golfview Avenue as
submitted by Wm Tonyan and Sons for property owners David and Ruth Granger.
Chairman Schepler stated Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Northwest Herald on
November 18, 2011. Notices were provided to all abutting property owners of record as required by
ordinance. A Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Compliance with notice requirements are on file
in the City Clerk's Office.
In attendance were Contractors Chuck and Donald Tonyan, and home owner David Granger, who were
sworn in by Chairman Schepler.
Mr. Chuck Tonyan explained the Grangers would like to construct an addition to their existing attached
garage. The expansion would encroach on the required 30' front yard setback by 15 feet. Consequently,
there is a request for a minor variance to allow a 15'front yard setback.
Deputy City Administrator Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this matter.
He noted the homeowner would like to expand the existing attached garage by 405 square feet. Noting
the cost to expand to the side or rear due to the topography of the property, the applicants are seeking
a minor variance to allow the expansion to occur in front of the existing garage on the east side of the
building. Staff has reviewed the request and supports the minor variance as presented.
Chairman Schepler invited questions and comments from the Commission.
In response to an inquiry, Mr. Chuck Tonyan stated the existing garage is located on the north side of
the residence immediately behind the proposed addition. Mr. Tonyan noted the residents and their
guests would still be able to park in the remaining driveway.
Question was raised regarding the neighbors' approval of the proposed expansion. Mr. Chuck Tonyan
responded all abutting neighbors had been advised of the minor variance request and there have been
no objections voiced by them.
Mr. Granger noted he expects to start construction in the spring of 2012.
A question was raised as to the ability for guests to park along the roadway. Mr. Chuck Tonyan noted
the street is wide enough to allow parking along one side of it.
Chairman Schepler noted there was no one in the audience who wished to comment regarding the
requested minor variance.
Motion by Nadeau, seconded by Doherty, to recommend to city Council, with regard to File No. Z-778, a
request for a minor variance to allow a 405' expansion of the existing attached garage located at 3324
Golfview Avenue to encroach 15' in the required front yard setback, be granted, and that Table 32, the
Approval Criteria for Variances, of the Zoning Ordinance, has been met.
Voting Aye: Buhrman, Doherty, Ekstrom, Morck, Nadeau, Schepler, and Thacker.
Voting Nay: None.
Not Voting: None.
Abstaining: None.
Absent: None.
Motion carried. 7-0.
Chairman Schepler closed the Public Hearing regarding File No. Z-778 at 8:26 p.m.
ORDINANCE NO. 11-
AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A FRONT YARD BUILDING SETBACK VARIANCE
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3324 W GOLF VIEW ROAD IN THE CITY OF
MCHENRY, MCHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS
WHEREAS, the City of McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois, is a home rule
municipality as contemplated under Article VII, Section 6, of the Constitution of the State of
Illinois, and the passage of this Ordinance constitutes an exercise of the City's home rule
powers and functions as granted in the Constitution of the State of Illinois; and
WHEREAS, a petition has been filed by Wm. Tonyan and Sons for a variance to the
required front yard building setback requirement for the property legally described on "Exhibit
A", attached hereto and incorporated herein; the "SUBJECT PROPERTY"; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing on said petition was held before the Planning and Zoning
Commission on December 8, 2011, in the manner prescribed by ordinance and statute; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the evidence and recommendation from
the Planning and Zoning Commission and finds that the approval of the requested variance is
consistent with the objectives of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance to protect the public
health, safety, morals and general welfare of its residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MCHENRY, MCHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The SUBJECT PROPERTY is hereby granted a 15-foot front yard
building setback variance to allow the construction of a 15' X 27' addition to the existing
attached garage in accordance with the attached site plan attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Exhibit B.
SECTION 2: In granting said Variance, 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 3: All Ordinances or parts thereof in conflict with the terms and provisions
hereof are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
SECTION 4: 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 5: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage,
approval, and publication in pamphlet form as provided by law.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas Martin, Deputy City Administrator
FOR: December 19, 2011,Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Request for a Use Variance for the property located at 505 Brookwood
Trail
ATT: Location Map
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting minutes,December 8, 2011
Ordinance
Plat of Survey
Photographs
Letters of support
Background. Approximately one-year ago the City Council approved amendments to the
zoning ordinance addressing parking and/or storing commercial and recreational vehicles in
residential districts. A one-year amortization was provided for property owners to comply with
the provisions of the new ordinance and active enforcement of the regulations began at the end
of September 2011.
The Construction and Neighborhood Services Department received a complaint regarding a
commercial vehicle parked overnight at 505 Brookwood Trail. After investigation it was
determined the vehicle in question is prohibited from being parked and/or stored on the subject
property and the property owners were notified.
Kevin and Carol Harrington filed an application seeking a use variance to allow the
unapproved commercial vehicle to be parked and/or stored on their driveway at 505
Brookwood Trail.
Analysis. Mr. Harrington works for Aldridge Electric and is on-call 24 hours/day, 7
days/week 365 days/year to respond and repair traffic signals and lighting outages. Attached is
a letter from John Wendel, Division Manager for Aldridge Electric describing the need for Mr.
Harrington to maintain the vehicle at his residence. The truck has been maintained at the
subject property for approximately 25 years.
The commercial vehicle in question is a Ford F550 Class 5 medium-duty truck with a gross
vehicle weight rating up to 19,000 lbs and has an attached bucket on-top of the vehicle. The
vehicle parked on Brookwood Trail would be permitted if it was 10,000 pounds or less. It is in
compliance with the height(9-foot maximum) and length(25-foot maximum)requirements.
Staff believes a substantial hardship exists justifying the use of the subject property to park
and/or store a commercial vehicle normally prohibited by ordinance. The applicant's
occupation and use of the vehicle has a direct correlation with public safety and it is not
practical for the vehicle to be kept at the headquarters of Aldridge Electric in Libertyville, IL.
Staff believes there is a distinction between what this vehicle is used for in contrast to the
primary function of a tow truck. Timeliness of response is more critical and can cause a
greater adverse impact to health, safety and welfare of the public if traffic signals and/or
lighting power outages are not addressed promptly. In addition, police personnel may be
required in the interim. A tow truck provides valuable service however in staff s opinion,
public welfare is not compromised to the same extent and unlike the applicant's vehicle, there
are many tow trucks available to respond to accident situations.
The subject property is located along a cul-de-sac and off a residential street a few hundred feet
away from Bull Valley Road. Parked in the driveway, the vehicle does not impact or block
adjacent sidewalk or right-of-way.
Recommendation. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended
approval of an use variance to allow an unapproved commercial vehicle to be parked and/or
stored at 505 Brookwood Trail subject to the following conditions. Staff concurs with thw
recommendation.
1. One unapproved commercial vehicle, with dimensions, weight and characteristics
generally consistent with those of a gross vehicle weight rating truck classification
class five medium-duty truck and appearance in substantial conformance with the
attached photograph, shall be permitted to be parked and/or stored at the subject
property.
2. Commercial vehicle in question shall be permitted to be parked and/or stored at the
subject property as long as the is to be on-call 24 hours/day/7 days/week
365days/year.
3. Commercial vehicle shall be parked on an approved surface, defined by the city's
zoning ordinance, at all times while at the subject property.
4. Commercial vehicle shall not block sidewalk/right-of-way at any time.
5. Applicant shall observe all on-street parking restrictions.
6. No other commercial vehicle, approved or unapproved, shall be parked and/or
stored on the subject property concurrently.
7. Applicant shall minimize noise and light impact to neighboring properties,
particularly during late hours.
8. Use variance shall expire if and when applicants no longer utilize the subject
property as their primary residence or applicant is no longer required to be on-call
24 hours/day 7 days/week 365 days/year for primary employment purposes.

Public Hearing: Kevin and Carol Harrington
File No.Z-777
505 Brookwood Trail
Use Variance
Chairman Schepler called the Public Hearing to order at 7:32 p.m. regarding File No Z-777 an application
for use variance to allow the parking of an unapproved commercial vehicle in the residential zoning
district as submitted by Kevin and Carol Harrington for the property located at 505 Brookwood Trail in
McHenry.
Chairman Schepler stated Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Northwest Herald on
November 22, 2011. Notices were provided to all abutting property owners of record as required by
ordinance. A Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Compliance with notice requirements are on file
in the City Clerk's Office.
In attendance were Kevin and Carol Harrington who were sworn in by Chairman Schepler.
Mr. Harrington provided a summary of the request before the Commission at this Hearing. He noted he
is employed as a repairman for traffic signals and is required to be on-call 24/7. In order to meet the
requirement that he respond to the location needing repairs within one hour, he parks his commercial
vehicle at his residence. The vehicle is oversized and is prohibited from being parked in the residential
district. He is seeking a use variance to allow him to park the vehicle at his residence.
Deputy City Administrator Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report regarding this matter.
He noted in 2010 the parking restrictions governing the parking of commercial vehicles in the residential
district were amended. The new restrictions were to be implemented at the end of September, 2011,
Planning and Zoning Commission
December 8,2011
Page 2
providing residents with a one-year amortization period to bring their property into compliance with the
new regulations.
Deputy Administrator Martin stated the commercial vehicle in question is a Ford F-550 bucket truck
which exceeds the maximum 10,000 pound weight limit allowed by the ordinance. The truck actually
weighs approximately 19,000 pounds. The truck design is that of a bucket truck. Staff believes there is
substantial hardship to the applicant to allow parking of the vehicle at his residence. Mr. Harrington is
required to respond to emergency callouts for traffic signal repairs and to be onsite within one hour of
the call. In Staff's opinion there is a distinction between this type of vehicle and a tow truck. Response
time for traffic signal repairs is critical to the general safety of the public. Additionally, Mr. Harrington is
cognizant of the possibility of noise and light pollution due to the start-up of his vehicle, particularly
during the cold winter months. He makes every effort to reduce adverse impacts on his neighbors.
Deputy Administrator Martin stated Staff recommends approval of the use variance subject to the
following conditions being met:
1. One unapproved commercial vehicle, with dimensions, weight and characteristics
generally consistent with those of a gross vehicle weight rating truck classification
class five medium-duty truck and appearance in substantial conformance with the
attached photograph, shall be permitted to be parked and/or stored at the subject
property;
2. Commercial vehicle in question shall be permitted to be parked and/or stored at the
subject property as long as the applicant's employer requires applicant to be on-call
24 hours/day/7 days/week to repair traffic signals, power outages or the like;
3. Commercial vehicle in question shall be parked on an approved surface at all times
while at the subject property;
4. Commercial vehicle in question shall not block sidewalk/right-of-way at any time;
5. Applicant shall observe all city on-street parking restrictions;
6. No other commercial vehicle, approved or unapproved, shall be parked and/or
stored on the subject property concurrently;
7. Applicant shall minimize noise and light impact to neighboring properties,
particularly during late hours;
8. Use variance shall expire if and when applicants no longer utilize the subject
property as their primary residence or applicant is no longer required to be on-call
24 hours/day 7 days/week for primary employment purposes.
Chairman Schepler invited questions and/or comments from the Commission.
In response to an inquiry, Deputy Administrator Martin stated Staff responds to complaints as opposed
to actively seeking violations regarding the parking of commercial vehicles in the residential district.
Noting the many letters of support provided by the applicant, Commissioner Buhrman inquired if there
were any letters received by the City which opposed the use variance. Deputy Administrator Martin
responded in the negative.
Planning and Zoning Commission

Commissioner Thacker inquired as to Mr. Harrington's primary job function. Mr. Harrington responded
he builds and maintains traffic signals. Commissioner Thacker inquired as to the number of trouble calls
Mr. Harrington responded to within the last six months. Mr. Harrington answered he responded to at
least twenty emergency calls. Commissioner Thacker then asked if Mr. Harrington had a radius area to
which he generally responded to emergency call-out. Mr. Harrington answered the locations vary each
time he receives a call to respond. Commissioner Thacker inquired how long the truck in question has
been parked at this location. Mr. Harrington answered since 1991. In response to another inquiry, Mr.
Harrington stated he takes the truck to his shop in Libertyville when he is on vacation.
Chairman Schepler inquired if Mr. Harrington had a required response time. Mr. Harrington responded
he is required to be onsite within one hour of the call.
Commissioner Nadeau suggested Mr. Harrington could park his vehicle at a commercial site in town,
such as Ace Hardware. Mr. Harrington responded he would need to find transportation to get to the
remote site. He noted the family has only one vehicle and he would not be'able to use it to drive to the
site and leave his personal vehicle.They are a one car family.
Some discussion followed regarding the weight of the vehicle and how it compares to a Commonwealth
Edison bucket truck. Question was raised that allowing the use variance could be precedent-setting.
Deputy Administrator Martin noted each request for a use variance would be considered independently.
Substantiation for the need to park an unapproved commercial vehicle would be required in each case
and be considered on its merit.
Commissioner Thacker, noting the applicant has temporarily moved his truck to the former Haystack
Manor property across the street from his home, stated Mr. Harrington should be commended for
taking measures to remove the vehicle from his premises while the matter is being considered.
Chairman Schepler opened the floor to questions and comments from the audience. The following were
sworn in by Chairman Schepler prior to their addressing the Commission.
Anthony Lovorn, 1914 Oak Drive: Mr. Lovorn stated he drives a tow truck for Marathon Towing and
would like to know if he could be accorded the privilege of parking his tow truck in his driveway. He
noted he does work for the City and County and is required to respond quickly when called upon an
accident or other scene where a tow is required.
Deputy Administrator Martin responded Mr. Lovorn would have to apply for a use variance and state his
hardship. The matter would be considered at a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning
Commission. If Mr. Harrington is granted a use variance by the City, it does not automatically follow
than other use variances would be automatically granted. Each case must be considered on its own
merits. In the case of a tow truck, certainly the aesthetics of the vehicle must be taken into
consideration when weighing the need for a use variance.
Jeff McCaffrey, 306 Brookwood Trail: Mr. McCaffrey expressed his support of the requested use
variance. Hr noted Mr. Harrington has been very respectful of his neighbors.

Jim O'Shea, 4915 Glenbrook Trail: Mr. O'Shea noted Mr. Harrington's oncall emergency status is
beneficial to the entire community. It is important that he respond in a quick and efficient manner. He
noted he supports the requested use variance.
Gerald Cowen, 509 Brookwood Trail: Mr. Cowen noted he lives next door to the Harrington's. The truck
has never been a problem due to aesthetic or noise. He stated his support of the request.
Ramon Gregorio, 402 Brookwood Trail: Mr. Gregorio expressed his support of the request. He has never
hear any noise generated by the truck which would bother his neighbors.
Chairman Schepler, noting there were no further questions or comments, closed the public comment
portion of the public hearing at 8:12 p.m.
Motion by Nadeau, seconded by Buhrman, to recommend to the City Council with regard to File No. Z-
777, an application for use variance to allowing the parking of an unapproved commercial vehicle on the
property located at 505 Brookwood Trail as presented by applicants Kevin and Carol Harrington be

RE: KEVIN HARRINGTON-PATROL MAN
ATTN:CITY OF MCHENRY:
Kevin Harrington is employed at Aldridge Electric and performs patrol man duties for the
company. For the department of transportation work Aldridge is involved in, we are
required by IDOT and the Counties, per specification 801.11 and 801.12, to be on call
and respond to traffic signal and lighting outage emergencies on a 24 hour basis. There
are firm rules pertaining to respond times set forth within these specifications.
Kevin Harrington performs and fulfills this requirement for Aldridge. He is required to
have a bucket truck at all times for his work in order to access lighting and traffic signal
installations and maintain them properly.

Re: Letter Supporting Kevin Harrington's Request
For a Minor Variance for his Work Truck
Dear Mr. Martin:
We are writing this letter to support our neighbor, Kevin Harrington, who is
requesting a minor variance to allow him to park his work vehicle in his driveway.
Kevin is on call for emergencies, day and night, 24 hours/day, and he needs
access to this truck to help him perform his job of maintaining and repairing traffic
signals and lighting outages. The quicker he can get to a site to make these
repairs, the better it is for the general public safety.
We are fine with Kevin's truck being parked in his driveway. They live in a cul-
de-sac and park the vehicle close to their house, so the truck is far back from the
street and not really noticeable.
Kevin and his family have been wonderful neighbors for over 24 years. Being on
call, many times he takes his truck out in all hours of the night and in weather
most of us would prefer not to have to drive in. Finally, losing this part of his job
would be a hardship on his family. The Harringtons have been good neighbors
and involved in the community for years. We hope that you will support his
request for this minor variance.

Mr. Martin,
I am writing today in support of Kevin Harrington's petition for a variance. I have lived on the same block as Kevin and
Carol Harrington for over twenty years. In that time the Harrington family has been and continues to be excellent
neighbors and stellar members of the community.
During the period a few years ago when the community was experiencing an outbreak of vandalism the Harrington's
stepped up in a meaningful way to help organize and participate in a neighborhood watch program.
In the twenty years my family has lived near the Harrington home,we have never had an issue with Kevin's work vehicle
being parked in their driveway. As a Repair Technician for traffic control signals,Kevin's work plays an important role in
the safe operation of our community's highway system.
As a member of the McHenry County Board, I know firsthand that sometimes new legislation may lead to unintended
consequences. I believe this is one of those times. On its face the ordinance in question appears to have value in
improving the aesthetics of the community. However,McHenry has and continues to be a community of working class
families and we should be proud to be home to the tradesmen that built and maintain the infrastructure of this county.
To deny these workers an opportunity to park their work vehicles at their home places a hardship on them and could
even lead to jeopardizing their jobs. In this difficult economy we need to be hypersensitive to any actions by
government that may impede or impact the precious primary jobs in our community.
in closing,please enter into the records this letter of support of the Harrington's request for a variance to the zoning
ordinance in question.
Thank you for your continued service to the community.
Sincerely,

Re: Emergency work vehicle
City of McHlenry
333 S.Green Street
McHenry, 111 60050
Attention: Zoning and Ordinances Committee
We,as residents of McHenry, Illinois would like to request a waiver for a resident's work vehicle.
Kevin Harrington has resided at 505 Brookwood Tr., McHenry, II,since 1986. Mr. Harrington works
for a company which requires him to leave on emergency runs 24 hours a day when he is on call.
He repairs stop lights and lighting throughout the area. He has a response time and needs to be
there as quickly as possible. Mr. Harrington's job is definitely one of public service to McHenry,as
well as surrounding communities and has been his livelihood for many years. We have resided in
our present neighborhood since 1983 and would definitely know if there was a problem with his
work truck. The Harringtons are a well-respected family who are diligent with their property and
always keep their premises clean and well kept.
I am preserdly Police Commissioner,as well as a retired Patrol Officer,for the City of McHenry.
While performing my duties as patrolman, I never encountered a problem with Mr. Harrington's
truck being(parking in his driveway. I patrolled our fine streets for many years and never had issue
with Mr. Harrington's work truck in the neighborhood. He only parks it in his driveway to respond
to emergency calls. He always backs his vehicle in his driveway to be able to leave as quickly and
silently as poossible. To be quite frank, I rarely saw Mr. Harrington leave or return with his vehicle
as he does put in a lot of hours when performing his duties.
Our neighborhood consists of middle-class citizens trying to make a living in this hard economy. It
would definitely be a hardship on the Harrington family if he did not receive this waiver. Please
allow a hardworking man to earn his living to the best of his ability.
We have a great community and want to help our citizens as much as we can,and in turn,they will
be there when needed.
Sincerely,

This letter is being written in support of the variance that is being sought by Kevin and Carol
Harrington of 505 Brookwood Trail, McHenry.
We purchased the home at 501 Brookwood Trail and moved in March of 2010. While living
here we have had no issue or concern in regards to having Kevin's work vehicle parked in their
driveway. Kevin backs the vehicle in when he comes home in the early evening and it is the
only vehicle that is parked in their driveway.
Allowing Kevin's work vehicle it allows him to respond to emergency calls in a timely manner
as well as this truck is his mode of transportation to and from work.
We have no problem with the vehicle being parked in their driveway and are in support of the
variance they seek.

Dear Mr. Martin:
We are neighbors of the Harrfngton's. If fact
we have been for 23 years. They live right
across from us in the cul-du-sac. Kevin's truck
has never been a problem. We really hardly
notice ft. They have been good neighbors. Kevin
always has the truck backed into their driveway.
It isn't an eyesore. Their property is well
maintained.
We are writing in support of the variance for
Kevfn's truck. He needs the truck to do his job.
His job is building and maintaining traffic
signals. He also does street lighting. He can't
take emergency calls for downed signals without
the truck at home. Please grant the variance.

To Whom This May Concern:
We have lived next door to the Harrington's for 15 years.
During this time we have never considered Mr. Harrington's truck,
which he parks in his driveway, an eyesore or a nuisance of any kind.
It is our understanding that he needs this truck as he is on
call with his job for traffic signal emergency repair.
His truck is quiet and we are not bothered by it whatsoever.
The Harrington's are the finest neighbors to live next to.
We ask that you strongly consider our opinion when making your
determination regarding this matter.

Request for Variance
Members of Planning and Zoning Commission;
We would to like to express our sup12ort for the pending request for a variance for the Harrington
property to allow for the overnight parking of Kevin's company truck at his property.
We have lived at 513 Brookwood Trail for the past seven years and have never experienced any
issue with the parking of Kevin's company truck in his driveway or in the Cul-de-sac we live in.
Kevin has always been a very considerate neighbor and has always made a point of having his
truck backed into his driveway for overnight parking and the thought of this vehicle being any
type of nuisance or eye sore has never even been a thought.
It is our understanding that this track is a requirement for Kevin's job as he is on call 24 hours a
day 7 days a week providing regular and emergency service to keep traffic signals and street
lighting in proper operation.
We certainly understand the need for the city to have and enforce current zoning and city
ordinances and what a tough job it must be, and on the same hand we are thankful for this
process to give consideration for individual circumstances and needs, and after considering
Kevin's need for this truck for his continued employment and the potential hardship,that would
be created by not allowing Kevin to continue to park the vehicle on his property,we would like
to encourage all parties involved to approve the request for the variance to allow for the parking
of the company truck at Kevin's home.

To City of McHenry:
We are writing this letter in regards to a zoning variance for Kevin Harrington. The
variance is for Kevin's commercial vehicle. We support the city providing a variance for
Kevin to be allowed to keep this vehicle at his residence,which is located on the same
street as we reside. -
The vehicle is not a problem and has not caused any issues. The vehicle is always parked
in his own driveway. The vehicle is never an obstruction. We have never had an issue
with the location where the vehicle is kept. The vehicle is required for his job as he is on
call for emergencies. We both respect the fact that his position is for public safety and do
not feel that the truck is an issue. We also would like to look out for the safety of Kevin
himself, as we do not want him to have to have to walk anywhere in the dark to pick up
his truck if he gets an emergency call to go out at anytime.
We completely support a variance to allow the truck to be kept in his driveway and would
like to see it implemented in his favor. If there is any additional information that we
could provide,we can be reached on our cell numbers above.
Thank you,

This letter is in regards to the upcoming variance request of Kevin and Carol Harrington.
We are past neighbors of the Harringtons on 401 Brookwood Trl. Due to Kevin's job it
is required that he keep his truck at home. He has a public safety job and is in need of his
truck at any given time. Never has this been a problem or a bother to any of us
neighbors. I feel we should be thankful that Kevin is willing to go out at all hours of the
day or night and in the worst of all possible weathers to keep our roads safe. Not too
many people today would be willing to do this. This new law regarding the parking of
trucks makes it impossible for Kevin to respond to these emergencies in the proper
amount of time. Not only does it hinder his livleyhood but also our safety. I hope you
reconsider this matter and allow Kevin to do his job, support his family and keep our
roads safe.

Dear Mr.Martin
I am writing in regards to a recent change in the zoning law,restricting the parking of
company/commercial vehicles in residential districts. Specifically,I am concerned about the effect the
change will have upon my friend and former neighbor,Kevin Harrington.Mr.Harrington lives at 505
Brookwood Trail, parks his utility vehicle in his driveway, and has done so since 1986.I lived directly
adjacent to Mr.Harrington for 16 years, from 1986 until 2002,at 501 Brookwood Trail.
The vehicle in question is needed by Mr. Harrington in his job as an electrician,building and
maintaining traffic signals for a large area of northeastern Illinois.In the 16 years we were neighbors,I
can think of no instance when the presence of the vehicle caused even a minor irritation or
inconvenience to myself, my family or any of our neighbors.An important part of Mr.Harrington's job
is emergency response for signal repair caused by weather damage and traffic accidents.Forcing him
to park his work vehicle in a remote location, in addition to be an inconvenience to him,would have
public safety implications,by significantly delaying his response time to emergencies.
Mr.Harrington and his family have been solid,active and engaged citizens of McHenry for many
years. I believe he deserves you consideration for relief in this matter.I take no issue with the purpose
and intent of the new zoning law,but in this case I strongly urge you to consider issuing a variance to
Mr.Harrington,allowing him to continue parking his work vehicle at his residence.

Mr. Doug Martin
Deputy City Administrator RE: Kevin Harrington Variance/Exception
dmartina,ci.mchnery.il.us
I am writing this letter to my local government with two frames of reference on the pending
issue of Kevin Harrington parking a work truck in his residential driveway at 505 Brookwood Trail.
First, I lived two doors from Mr. Harrington, at 513 Brookwood, for about 16 years,from 1988
until about 2005. He had a company truck the entire time and I never thought of it as a problem
in any way. The Harrington's keep their property in excellent appearance and always have and
the truck being there was just part of his livelihood, as many of us in the neighborhood were just
working men with trucks, trailers and vehicles with signs on the sides and the things that make up
a normal blue collar neighborhood.
Second, I was once a police officer in a small town and I know that having the traffic service
men show up was a great site when we stood there directing traffic on a cold winter night.
Knowing that guys like Kevin Harrington and his traffic light repair profession were on their way to
a knocked down signal quickly was an important role for the safety and comfort of many people in
many area communities. Every minute that he was delayed could mean a police officer standing
in a dark intersection trying to flag cars or a motorist that did not stop in time because they saw
no lights working. I consider his job vital to our normal infrastructure of traffic control.
do not know the details of this complaint or the circumstances, nor do I understand the spirit of
the law which prohibits his truck being parked there. i realize that saying"Everyone does it," is
not a very viable excuse for a violation of a law, but it would seem that there are many more
eyesores about the city with no enforcement of laws pertaining to them. There are local stores
with missing facades and exposed dumpsters and falling fences. In residential areas,there are
landscaping trailers, motor homes, house trim and garage doors weathered to bare wood and
yards so filled with junk that it appears they have an endless garage sale, and yet we have a
situation where a man cares for his home and lawn and works hard for over 20 years and
suddenly the city wants to make it an upscale neighborhood that has no visible signs of a man's
profession? What would be the result if the same thinking that prohibits such a[necessary]truck
should also then be extended into all things which the city finds objectionable visually? Do we
choose the type of shrubs one can plant or the colors of homes and do we survey the neighbors
to ensure that nothing any residence does offends someone else?
I now live in the center of town and have for over 6 years. There is no large truck parked two
doors down, but there are plenty of worse things within site. There are football games on some
Friday nights with noise that makes it impossible to watch TV and school bus traffic and garbage
service at the schools starting at 4am. The point being that every neighborhood has something
imperfect. For the city to try controlling it all is impossible and for the law to give a complaint
venue to someone finding fault with everyone for minor infractions is most unfortunate.
The law often uses the word"reasonable"and leaves interpretation to the police officers,judges
and courts as to what we should accept as a society.
I urge the zoning commission and the city to find Mr. Harrington's need for a truck in his
driveway as a reasonable exception to your rule. I also urge writing such exceptions into the law
to allow for such cases in the future without such a procedural burden to those trying to comply
with reasonable laws while attending to their normal work lives.
Respectfully,

officer standing in a dark intersection trying to flag cars or a motorist that did not stop in time
because they saw no lights working. I consider his job vital to our normal infrastructure of traffic
control and his response from home with his equipment dramatically increases that quick
response.
I do not know the details of this complaint or the circumstances, nor was I present for the law's
passing, so I don not know the"spirit of the law"the which prohibits his truck being parked there.
I presume it was intended to make-our neighborhoods look fancier than they are and to keep
noisy trucks from residential neighborhoods. We already have overnight parking restrictions for
ON the streets, so this seems to be aimed at controlling what is in our driveways.
I realize that saying"Everyone does it," is not a very viable excuse for a violation of a law, but it
would seem that there are many more eyesores about the city with no enforcement of laws
pertaining to them. There are local stores with missing facades and exposed dumpsters and
falling fences. There are countless ugly signs and violations of those ordinances which are
routinely overlooked and much more of an impact of the city's appearance.
In residential areas,there are many landscaping trailers, motor homes, houses with trim and
garage doors weathered to bare wood and yards and driveways so filled with junk that it appears
they have an endless garage sale, and yet we have a situation where a man cares for his home
and lawn and works hard for over 20 years and now the city wants to make it a visually controlled
neighborhood that has no exterior appearances of a man's profession? What would be the result
if the same thinking that prohibits such a vehicle should also then be extended into all things
which the city finds objectionable visually? Do we choose the type of shrubs one can plant or the
colors of homes and do we survey the neighbors to ensure that nothing any residence does
offends someone else?
I now live in the center of town and have for over six years. There is no large truck parked two
doors down, but there are plenty of worse things within site. McCracken field has rap music at
times that we can hear a block away. There are football games on some Friday nights with
unreasonable loudspeaker noise that makes it nearly impossible to watch TV and school bus
traffic and garbage service at the schools starting at 4am. A train horn blasts every morning at
5:50 and 6:50 AM. Several times a year, streets in our neighborhood have to be dug to repair old,
broken water or gas lines. The point being that every neighborhood has something imperfect. For
the city to try controlling it all is impossible and for the law to give a complaint venue to someone
finding fault with everyone for minor infractions is most unfortunate. We should be counting our
blessings to live in such a great small town and not complaining or trying to regulate such minor
infractions as the size of a truck in one's own driveway on private property.
The law often uses the word"reasonable" and leaves interpretation to the police officers,judges
and courts as to what we should accept as a society. We're usually given a few miles over the
speed limits.We don't file a law suit against the school for the noisy football games causing a
breech of my peace six nights out of the year and we don't call the police when people park on
the grass to walk to a game. We don't charge those throwing candy in parades with littering. We
find it acceptable for the city to look the other way when many struggling businesses put A-frame
signs out front to attract customers and city tax dollars. We bend where we need to bend and
where it seems reasonable.
Reasonable discretion by enforcing bodies is sometimes overruled by a complaint that requires
action and the law must be upheld, changed, or an exception granted for cause. That appears to
be where the city and Mr. Harrington and some complainant find themselves today.
So,the new law must be weighed as it pertains to one or to many. Is the benefit a law derives
worth the inconveniences it causes others. Is the complaint substantial and does the violation
cause enough burden on someone to require strict enforcement? Are the people waiting for a
traffic light repair deemed less important than the view of Harrington's driveway?
No discretion can have consequences, as well. I mentioned I was once a police officer and
learned of this true story. In a nearby town, at one village board meeting, a trustee(alderman)
lectured the police chief publically for not strictly enforcing the speed limit on a certain street(his
own). The very next morning, the chief himself set up radar on that same street and promptly
wrote a citation to the first speeder going 6 miles per hour over the limit.....the trustee who had
complained was the driver.
Mr. Harrington's work truck has been parked in his driveway without a complaint for well over
20 years and it was always deemed reasonable, to the best of my knowledge, by everyone
involved, including the City of McHenry. Now, a new ordinance and a new attitude from a long
time neighbor, scanning for violations, has suddenly made what was reasonable and acceptable
for two decades a case to be brought before the city at great expense to the Harringtons. That
seems unreasonable.That a working man who desires to comply with all laws should have to pay
a great deal of fees to come before the city because, without notifying him, they made something
he's done for many years suddenly illegal, seems unreasonable, as well.
I urge the zoning commission and the city to find Mr. Harrington's need for a truck in his
driveway as a reasonable exception to your rule. I also urge writing such exceptions into the law
to allow for such cases in the future without such a procedural burden to those trying to comply
with reasonable laws while attending to their normal work lives.
Respectfully,

Subject: Kevin Harrington Zoning Ordinance Variation Support
Dear Deputy City Administrator Martin:
My husband and I have been friends of Kevin and Carol Harrington of Brookwood Trail for many years. They
are the type of citizens that make McHenry matter. We are aware that the City has changed their zoning
variance for company or commercial vehicles, and Kevin, for the many years we have known him,has such a
vehicle parked in his driveway. Kevin needs this truck to leave any time at night or day, due to his job
maintaining and repairing malfunctioning traffic signals. This is an important job that calls Kevin away from
his home on the drop of a dime, 24 hours day and night. How could he possibly park his vehicle at an offsite
location, drive there,then drive to an emergency, in a timely manner? The Harrington's need a variance on your
new zoning ordinance.
We agree that the need for ordinances like this should be instituted in many, if not most, situations. However,
the location of Kevin Harrington's residence in the neighborhood actually would allow for the variance to apply
in a very minimally intrusive manner. His home is on a small 3 home cul de sac, set back from the main road.
The 3 homes on this circle are spaced well apart, and his truck is not blocking anyone's passage.
Finally,the Harrington's are part of what makes this town great-they have raised their 3 daughters here,
attended sports and every other imaginable event in the town and support our schools without fault. They are
staunch supporters of everything that goes on this the town. They follow the law to a tee and have made their
mark on this town in more ways than most. As 28 year residents of McHenry ourselves,we have seen things
change for the good, and sometimes for the bad. Our town should be applauded for their eye on the future in
making McHenry more beautiful. Some beautiful changes have been made in the City. However, oftentimes
ordinances, like rules, can be bent for the benefit of those who support it the most.
Kevin Harrington should be allowed to keep his truck parked in his driveway off Brookwood Trail so that he
can reach traffic emergencies as quick as possible. Please allow the zoning variance for Kevin Harrington's
truck.
Thank you for your consideration,

RE: COMPANY/COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
Mr. Martin&City of McHenry,
I am writing in reference to the above mentioned'New Zoning Code for parking of company/commercial
vehicles in residential districts.
I have lived in McHenry in the Fox Ridge Subdivision for 34 years and I must say I am appalled at this
"Code"I I am a friend of Kevin&Carol Harrington and am aware of the fact,that a disturbed neighbor
has complained about Kevin Harrington's truck being parked in his driveway on the cul-de-sac that they
reside on and have resided on for some 25+years in the Winding Creek subdivision.
The City has made him move his truck,his livelihood! Kevin cannot do his job of maintaining, repairing
traffic signals and lighting outages,a job for public safety,I might add,a job that I highly respect...
without his truckl Kevin is on call for emergencies on a 24 hour basis and this would cause the
Harrington's a great hardship if he should lose that part of his job. That also means,they would have to
purchase another vehicle,and in today's economy,that would cause yet another hardship.
Kevin has often helped out/no charge what-so-ever,whenever he was called upon to assist
friends/neighbors/local churches and even the City of McHenry as a good hearted citizen of the
community.
I believe he should be allowed to get a'MINOR VARIANCE'which should allow him to park his work
truck/bucket,in his driveway. It is of no disturbance what so ever to anyone,but one family,who has
nothing better to do with their life,than to upset others. Kevin&Carol&their daughters have all been
very active in McHenry,are fine assets,as well as,great role models to all in this community.
I remain,

Mr. Martin
It has recently come to my attention that there is a new city zoning code regarding the
parking of company/commercial vehicles in residential arees.
This new code directly affects Kevin and Carol Harrington--long-time McHenry residents. We
have know the Harringtons for about 11 years.
They, and their children, have always been active members of the community and leaders in our
church--Shepherd of the Hills. Kevin has worked many years for a company that requires him to
park his company vehicle in his driveway. On the numerous occasions that we have visited
their home, we have never found it offensive that his truck is there. Since Kevin's job is
repairing traffic signal/light outages, he is always on call and needs access to his
equipment as quickly as possible. This helps us all in returning intersections to safe
conditions.
Please consider the minor variation that the Harringtons are requesting to continue to allow
Kevin to park his truck in his driveway.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Dear Mr. Doug Martin,
I have known the Harringtons for many years now and for all those years Kevin has been
parking his vehicle in his driveway. Since he is on call 24/7 for emergencies I feel that
they should receive the minor variance to allow him to continue to park in his driveway.
Without being able to park in his driveway,he would not be able to respond to an
emergency in a timely manner which can and will be a public safety issue.
Please give Kevin and Carol Harrington the variance to allow for parking of his vehicle
in his driveway.

RE: Zoning Code Change
Mr. Martin,
On behalf of Kevin & Carol Harrington; I am asking that he be allowed to get a minor variance
on the zoning, allowing him to continue to park his company truck in his driveway.
Because of a revised code, and one neighbor who has no life doing the complaining, I
understand that Kevin Harrington has had to remove his work truck, his livelihood, .
from his driveway. Kevin is now walking in the dark, both in the morning & the evening
on a dangerous road, jeopardizing his life.
The Harrington's have lived at the residence in Winding Creek for at least 25 years.
Kevin's work is a job of public safety...a job that I highly respect and admire and feel the
City of McHenry should also do.
Kevin cannot do his job without his truck. Kevin is on call for emergencies on a 24 hour basis.
I know this would be a severe hardship for Kevin and his family if he were to have to give up
this portion of his job
I believe he should be allowed to get a 'minor variance' which should allow him to park his work
truck/bucket, in his driveway.

Dear Mr. Martin:
I am writing in support of Kevin and Carol Harrington in their request for a minor
variance to the new zoning code for parking of commercial vehicles in residential
districts. Kevin is an electrician who needs his truck on a 24 hour basis to maintain and
repair traffic signals and lighting. As a 31 year member of the McHenry Township Fire
Protection District, I am fully aware of the need for expedient intervention in the event
traffic signals are damaged in storms or by vehicular accidents. The fact that Kevin is
able to respond from home immediately is a bonus to McHenry that should be embraced,
not prohibited.
Kevin and Carol Harrington have been friends and neighbors in McHenry for more than
30 years. They are truly model citizens and productive members of the community. To
disallow the variance they have requested would place an undue hardship on their family.
It would be a real loss to our city, should they have to relocate.
Please consider the impact to public safety and to this wonderful family in your
consideration of the Harrington's request for this variance.

RE: Minor Variance
Kevin Harrington

Dear Sir:
We live in McHenry and support a minor variance be granted to Kevin Harrington for keeping his work
truck in his driveway.
He is on call for when emergencies arise and needs his truck readily available. Kevin Harrington's
house is on a cul de sac, so the truck is off the main road. He has parked his work truck there for over
20 years and there hasn't been a problem. Why now?
We ask that you take into consideration that this is Kevin Harrington's livelihood. If he doesn't have his
truck at home where he can quickly respond to a call, someone else would have to take the call. Kevin's
income would be greatly affected.

City of McHenry,
I am writing this letter in support of a minor variance for Kevin and Carol
Harrington. Living in this community I have known Kevin and Carol for several
years. They have been citizen of McHenry for many years,raising all three of their
girls here in town. Kevin and Carol both have been involved in the community,
school and their church. I say these things because this shows the type of character
Kevin and Carol display in our community.
Recently Kevin was notified that the parking of his work truck in his driveway was
in violation of a new zoning code. Kevin has been parking his truck in his driveway
for 25 years and has never had a problem. Kevin uses this truck to do his job of
maintaining and repairing traffic signals and lighting outages. He is on call for
emergencies on a 24-hour basis.We do not see any harm in parking the truck in his
driveway; it is not being used for anything other than work purposes. If there would
be an emergency we all would be grateful that Kevin would be able to get to that
emergency quickly from his home. If Kevin was not granted this variance he would
have to park the truck somewhere else outside of the city and then buy a vehicle to
get him back and forth to the truck,not to mention the extra time and gas it wastes
getting to the truck In todays economy that simple does not make sense.
Please reconsider your zoning code in this situation and give Kevin a variance
allowing him to park his truck in his own driveway.

We would like to express our support for a minor variance requested by Kevin
Harrington to permit his work truck to be parked in his driveway.
Kevin performs a job that attributes to public safety and is on call 24 hours. This
zoning code would create an unnecessary hardship. As residents of McHenry we
appreciate the job Kevin does, especially when power is interrupted. As a
community we should assist our neighbors during these tough economic time
and not create undue hardships.
In addition, because of the location of the Harrington's driveway (on a curved
cul-de-sac) the truck is more tucked in and not offensive.

Dear Mr. Martin:
Mr. Harrington has been a fine member of our community all of his adult life. He has
been parking his truck in his driveway at his residents for the past twenty-five years;therefore,
his use of the driveway should be grandfathered in to continue this practice.
During this time,until now,this has not been a problem. Further,he contributes a service
to the McHenry County area through his company Aldridge, which responds to emergency
traffic signal problems. Therefore,this alone should give him a variance due to his emergency
work status. Thank you.

It has been brought to our attention that the City of McHenry has instituted a new zoning
code prohibiting the parking of work vehicles on residential driveways. This code will be of
great detriment to a friend and neighbor of ours, Kevin Harrington, as he will not be able to
perform his job responsibilites as per usual, which will have a negative impact on his
income; and also on the community, as he is performing a public service.
We ask that an exception be made and that a minor variance, to the code be instituted per
circumstance, as in Mr. Harrington's case. It is apparent that this ordinance could limit the
earning power of those individuals needing their vehicle. We feel strongly that the city look
at each case and make a fair decision per circumstance.

We have known Kevin and Carol Harrington for over 15 years and know them to always want to do the
"right"thing and be upstanding citizens.
Kevin's job is to maintain and repair traffic signals and lighting outages—a public safety job.
He is"on-call"for emergencies on a 24-hour basis. He needs his truck to perform his job. The NEW city
ordinance will cause undue financial strain on their family. Kevin may have to consider alternative jobs
(which are difficult in this economy),storage of the truck(which impacts his response time and could
cause him to lose his job),or cause him to purchase another vehicle and dramatically increase his
response time or alter his route. This does not seem to be the purpose of the ordinance.
We support the Harrington's getting a variance for Kevin's truck in order for him to continue to do his
valuable job and be responsive to the communities he serves.

Dear Mr. Martin:
This letter is written in support of Kevin Harrington,whom we have known for many years. He is a man
of good moral character and has been an excellent husband and father to his family. He has unfailingly
supported his family through his work as an electrician. In addition,he has volunteered his knowledge
and skills to many organizations,churches,sports teams,school groups,family and friends.
Kevin's position for a company that installs and maintains traffic signals requires him to drive a
commercial vehicle equipped to do this work. His work also provides a vital service to the community in
that he must be readily able to reach the locations where these traffic lights need repair in a minimal
amount of time.As he is on-call 24 hours a day, it would become extremely inconvenient and place a
hardship on his family if he was no longer able to park his truck in his driveway.
We request that you please consider the statements contained in this letter when making your decision
