Letter from Henry Dolecki dated 03/31/06 2. Location Map 3. Plat of Survey 4. Signatures from Adjoining Property Owners 5. Photos,Existing Conditions STAFF RECOMMENDATION:To approve a variance to allow the applicant to relocate the existing 5-foot high wood fence to a distance of 5' from the Overland Trail property line. Background/Request A letter was received from Henry Dolecki, who resides at 159 Glenbrook Trail. Mr. Dolecki has a corner lot and is requesting a variance to relocate an existing 5-foot high, wood fence. The fence is currently setback 15 feet from the Overland Trail property line and Mr. Dolecki would like to move the fence to have a 5-foot setback. The reason for moving the fence is to enclose three existing fruit trees. The applicant has had some problems with kids climbing these trees,picking and throwing the fruit. Having the trees enclosed by the fence would help to eliminate this problem. The City's fence regulations state the following: 1) If a comer side yard abuts the comer side yard of an adjoining property, all fencing must be setback no less than 5 feet from the right-of-way line. 2) If a corner side yard abuts the front yard of an adjoining property, all fencing must be setback 15' from the right-of-way line. Mr.Dolecki's lot meets the second criteria and therefore,a variance is necessary. Analysis Upon review of this request, Staff has no concerns and would recommend approval of the variance. The applicant has presented some unique circumstances that relate only to his property. Granting a variance to allow the fence to have a 5-foot setback would address the problems experienced by the applicant. Due to the shape of the lot, the relocated fence will have no impact on vehicular or pedestrian sight lines for adjacent property. APR I L 2006 �Y..-_�=-U-. Dear Mr. Napolitano March 312006 1 live at 159 Glenbrook trail which is on a comer lot, in the Trails of Winding Creek subdivision. I have lived here for the last 12 years. 11 years ago I installed a fence following the guidelines that were required at that time. Since then, some of the guidelines have changed. The changed guideline that I am referring to is the "l5 feet rule" from a comer side lot toward the street side. The guideline was changed to 5 feet instead of 15 feet. I would like to move my fence out towards the street staying 5 feet from the side lot line, but I don't qualify because there are houses with driveways behind my property. At this time I would like to request a Variance to the 15 feet rule" I'm requesting the variance because I would like to fence in the fruit trees that are currently outside the fence. I want to fence in the trees because I have had issues with some kids climbing the trees along with picking and throwing the fruit that comes from the trees. With the trees being inside the backyard it can only help deter the kids from this action. I understand the 15 feet rule exists because of a safety issue of sight. (Neighbors backing out of the their driveways or the public turning the comer as they drive) I believe safety will not be compromised in my case because of the shape of my property. It convex outward towards side front corner. My neighbors who live behind, across the street, and next to me would not oppose a Variance. I've attached some pictures, a survey and my neighbor's signatures not opposing a Variance to help you make your decision. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

CDD Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission 2. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated 4/20/06(unapproved) 3. Application Packet 4. Ordinance Approving a Building Setback Variance at 3516 Waukegan Road STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To accept the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approve the attached ordinance approving a building setback variance at 3516 Waukegan Road Description of Request The City has been working with property owners along Boone Creek to secure the necessary property to construct the first phase of the riverwalk. The owner of McHenry Villa,Maureen Annamarie,has generously agreed to dedicate 15' of her land for this purpose. However, this land conveyance will place the existing building in a nonconforming situation with regards to the rear yard setback. The 0-1 District requires a 15- foot rear yard setback. After the conveyance,the building setback would be reduced from 17.5' to 2.5' at the northwest comer. On the northeast comer,the building setback would be reduced from 20'to 5'. In order to place the existing building in compliance with Zoning Ordinance setback requirements,the City,on behalf of the property owner,is requesting approval of a building setback variance for the existing building. Staff Analysis No changes to the building or site are proposed. In fact,the proposed variance will have little, if any impact or change on the character of the area. The variance will merely bring the existing building into conformance with the Zoning Ordinance,upon conveyance of the 15 feet. Planning and Zoning Commission The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the requested building setback variance. Community Development Department Report File# Z-670 April 20, 2006 Applicant City of McHenry on behalf of Maureen Annamarie 3516 Waukegan Road McHenry,IL 60050 Requested Action Variance for building setback to allow the dedication of 15-feet along Boone Lagoon for the riverwalk. Site Information Location and Size of Provenly The subject property is 3.39 acres located on the north side of Waukegan Road,east of Green Street. rg,t.prehensive Plan Designation Institutional Exis onina and Land Use The subject property is currently zoned 0-1 Local Office. The McHenry Villa, an assisted living facility, is located on the site. Adi�nt Zoning and Land Use North: RS-4,High-Density Single-Family Residential South: RS-4,Institutional(McHenry High School East Campus) Pat: RM-2,Multi-Family Residential(Riverwalk Place Townhomes) West: 0-1,Vacant(Medical Arts Building) Description of Request The City has been working with several property owners along Boone Creek to secure the necessary property to construct the first phase of the riverwalk. The owner of McHenry Villa,Maureen Asmamarie, has generously agreed to dedicate 15' of her land along the north side of the building for this purpose. However, this land conveyance will place the building in a nonconforming situation in regards to rear yard setback. The building does not maintain a constant distance from the property line so at the northwest comer of the building,the building setback would be reduced from 17.5' to 2.5', while at the northeast corner of the building, the building setback would be reduced from 20' to 5'. In order to keep the existing building in compliance with Zoning Ordinance setback requirements,the City, on behalf of the property owner,is requesting approval of a building setback variance for the existing building, Staff Analysis No changes to the building or site are proposed. In fact, the proposed variance will have little, if any impact or change on the character of the area. The variance will merely bring the existing building into conformance with the Zoning Ordinance, upon conveyance of the 15'. The hardship has been brought upon by the City's need for land for the riverwalk and was not a result of any action by the property owner. Staff Recommendation Prior to Public Hearing Approval of a Variance for rear yard building setback from 17.5' to 2.5' on the west side, and from 20' to 5' on the east side. Staff finds that the requirements in Chapter XV Table 32 of the Zoning Code have been met.

Public Hearing—City of McHenry on behalf of McHenry Villa File No. Z-670 3516 West Waukegan Road Chairman Howell at 7:34 p.m. called to order the Public Hearing for File No. Z-67169, a request for variance for building setbacks for the McHenry Villa as requested by the City of McHenry on behalf of Maureen Annamarie, to allow the dedication of 15 feet along Boone Creek Lagoon to the City of McHenry to be used for the McHenry Riverwalk. Chairman Howell stated notice of the Public Hearing appeared in the Northwest Herald on March 31, 2006. A Certificate of Publication is on file in the City Clerk's Office. Certified notices were mailed to all abutting property owners. Receipt of mailing and an affidavit of posting property are on file in the Clerk's Office. Planner Zeller presented the staff report. She explained the need for the variance was due to the fact the City needed 15 feet of land adjacent to Boone Creek Lagoon to facilitate construction of the Riverwalk on the south side. The reduction of 15 feet along the McHenry Villa property creates a setback which is less than that required by the Zoning Ordinance. The City on behalf of McHenry Villa is requesting a variance so that the dedication of the 15 feet does not result in a non-conformity for the Villa. Some discussion occurred regarding liability issues regarding skateboarders, bikes and roller bladders running into McHenry Villa walls. Question was raised regarding similar variances being required in other properties adjacent to the Riverwalk. General discussion also followed regarding potential Riverwalk plans and potential use of the former Medical Arts Building property. There was no further discussion or questions by the Commission. There was no Public Comment regarding the application. Planning and Zoning Commission April 20, 2006 Page 2 Motion by Nadeau, seconded by Buhrman, to recommend to City Council with regard to File No. Z-670, to grant the request for building setback variance as follows to the McHenry Villa Property located at 3516 West Waukegan Road: Northwest corner of the building setback 2.5 feet; Northeast corner of the building setback 5 feet; and that Table 32,the Approval Criteria for Variances,pages 377-378 has been met.

FORM D Page 3 of 3 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A BUILDING SETBACK VARIANCE TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN THE REAR YARD BUILDING SETBACK AT 3516 WAUKEGAN ROAD IN THE CITY OF MCHENRY,MCHENRY COUNTY,ILLINOIS WHEREAS, a petition has been filed by the City on behalf of property owner Maureen Annamarie requesting a Building Setback Variance to allow a reduction in the rear building setback for the existing building at 3516 Waukegan Road, which property is 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 April 20, 2006, in the manner prescribed by ordinance and statute; and WHEREAS, as a result of said hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the requested Variance by a 5-1 vote; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the evidence and recommendations 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: That the SUBJECT PROPERTY be granted a Building Setback Variance to allow a reduction in the rear yard building setback for the existing building from 17.5' to 2.5'on the west side, and from 20' to 5' on the east side. SECTION 2: In granting said Variance, the City Council finds that 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. I 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.

Richmond Road Mike O'Leary,on behalf of Meijer,Applicant ATTACHMENTS: 1. Road to the CMA Music Festival Event Sheet 2. Site Plan STAFF RECOMMENDATION:To approve the requested temporary use permit. Background/Request Meijer Fresh Store,2253 N.Richmond Road, is requesting a temporary use permit to allow an evening concert by country music recording artist Craig Morgan, and another as of yet unnamed artist. This event will be sponsored by Crisco and the Country Music Association, which have held hundreds of similar concerts throughout the country. The event would take place in the Meijer parking lot on Thursday, May 18, 2006. Two other concerts are proposed at Meijer stores in Rolling Meadows and St. Charles. Set up for the event would start at 8:30 a.m. in a 150' x 175' (approximate)area of the parking lot, see attached site plan. Approximately 80 parking spaces would be used during the event. There would be 1-2 tour busses, a temporary stage, and three, 10' x 10' tents to house sponsors' activities. Activities would include giveaways, karaoke, and children's games. The applicant is currently talking to WUSN (US99) about doing a live remote from the site. The area would be open to the public at 5:00 p.m. The concert would run from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. After the performance, the artist will sign copies of his CD inside the store. Expected attendance is around 500 to 1000 persons. Security would be provided by Meijer. Analysis Meijer and other stores in the City have held outdoor events in their parking lots. Last year, Meijer had a NASCAR simulator in their parking lot,where persons were able to simulate driving a race car. The proposed concert is a larger event, but Staff believes the site can accommodate the expected crowds. Meijer has 882 parking spaces and with the loss of 80 for the event, there will still be 800 parking spaces available. The event would occur on a Thursday in the evening, which should have a lesser impact on the site than if the event were held on a weekend. There are three points of ingress/egress to the site,two of which are signalized, so access to and from the site should not pose a significant problem. To ensure that access through drive aisles will be maintained, Staff has requested and the applicant has agreed to place temporary"No Parking" signs along the drive aisles.

Staff is seeking authorization to enter into a contract with American Demolition for the demolition of the Medical Arts Building for $110,000. A total of 7 contractors bid the project. The three low bids are listed below: American Demolition $110,000 Langos Corporation $143,000 Omega Demolition $155,000 The Council may recall that when the asbestos abatement contract was awarded, a budget amendment for $485,000 was approved to cover the remaining expenses associated with preparing the site for redevelopment. At this time, Staff does not anticipate exceeding that amount. A complete cost summary to date is attached for the Council's reference. The lowest responsible bidder is American Demolition; therefore, Staff recommends awarding the bid to American Demolition in the amount of $110,000. Staffs original estimate for the demolition was $132,000.

The next step in preparing the Medical Arts site for redevelopment is to issue a request for qualifications (RFQ). The purpose of the RFQ is to assist the City in compiling a short list of four to six qualified candidates from which the City can select to partner with in the redevelopment of the property. After the RFQ process is complete,a request for proposal(RFP)will be sent to those four to six developers. The Council will recall that this is the same process being used to solicit contractors for the Riverwalk Phase I project. Once such a list is developed,the selected candidates will be asked to submit specific development proposals for consideration. The RFQ will narrow the list down to those developers that have the vision,experience and financial capabilities to complete the project on- time and within the City's development guidelines. Staff has prepared the attached RFQ and is seeking authorization from the City Council to make it available to interested developers and other parties. The RFQ will be made available to the public on Wednesday,May 3`d and interested parties will have until Friday,June 3,2006 to respond. In addition, Staff has received numerous requests from developers to have the RFQ sent to them. Upon receipt of the RFQs,a review committee will analyze the submittals and narrow the list of prospective developers to approximately five. At that time,the RFP will be sent to those five to submit a detailed development proposal which is financially realistic,marketable and consistent with the vision of the City. Staff will bring forth a request to the City Council to authorize the issuance of an RFP prior to it being distributed. Upon receipt of the request for proposals,the review committee will narrow the list of proposals down to two. At that time,the two finalists will be brought to the City Council for consideration. Staff is recommending that a review committee consisting of the following members be established: Mayor Low, Doug Maxeiner, Joe Napolitano, Kit Carstens (Riverwalk Foundation President) and Anne Rodenkirch. Anne Rodenkirch was a member of the Downtown Plan Technical Advisory Committee and currently is employed by Prime Commercial Corporation. Staff believes that this group is appropriate and diverse in background and will provide a solid recommendation to the City Council.

Green Street (the "Redevelopment Site,"see Exhibit A). Pur- chased by the City in December of 2005, this prime site contains nearly 48,000 square feet with frontage on Boone Lagoon, along the path of the City's future Riverwalk. The Redevelopment Site is also within an existing Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District. A high-quality, mixed-use development is envisioned for the Redevelopment Site, with first floor retail/restaurant uses, and upper level office or residential units. The development com- munity is invited to respond to this opportunity by submitting a creative, market-based develop- ment proposal that meets the objectives of the City and serve as a catalyst for future develop- ment and redevelopment in the downtown. With the preparation of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) the Mayor and City Council have reaffirmed their commitment to redevelopment of the downtown and the realization of the long-awaited McHenry Riverwalk. This commitment started several years ago when City lead- ers realized that it's waterfront and downtown areas could be valuable assets, both economi- cally and aesthetically. To capitalize on these assets, several steps were taken. In December of 2000, the City adopted a Master Plan for a 0.8 mile long riverwalk along the shores of the Fox River and Boone Lagoon. This Master Plan laid the groundwork for the future design and loca- tion of the riverwalk (see Exhibit A). In April of 2002, a TIF District was created to provide financial assistance to downtown property owners seeking to improve their property. The TIF District encompasses a portion of the downtown, from Third Street, east to the Fox River (see Exhibit A). A Downtown Master Plan was adopted in December of 2003 and is the City's offi- cial policy guide for physical improvement and development in Downtown McHenry. And finally, a Downtown Overlay District, with specific design guidelines for new development and redevelopment was established in early 2005. Its boundaries are the same as the TIF District. In order to "jump start" redevelopment activity in the downtown, the City Council endorsed a Downtown Redevelopment Business Plan in September of 2005. The Business Plan outlined a strategy for the City to: 1)take a more active role in attracting redevelopment projects through land acquisition and partnerships with developers; and 2) construct a short segment of the planned McHenry Riverwalk. This strategy is currently playing out with the purchase of the subject property,preparation of this RFQ and the commitment by the Mayor and City Council to construct the first phase of the riverwalk, from Green Street to Riverside Drive, in spring of 2006. Qualifications are due in the office of the City Administrator no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday June 2,2006. 3 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS City of McHenry,Illinois © `1 61 a463 � I►j.� 494 •oil fi ��j�. � ►r.. �► ♦,,��. _ � 06 f� 3?9, Icy .. .moo w► 03 • Blockwas Proposed Riverwalk TIF District Boundary/Downtown Overlay District W*E Number/ / I i City of McHenry,Illinois Community Background Madison g tet V Milwaukee The City of McHenry, situated along the 18 Fox River and 50 miles northwest of Chi- ` eago is a vibrant community of 25,000 Racine people.

Despite this growth, McHenry has been able to retain its small town character. Veterans Park, in McHenry's downtown, continues to draw in crowds during the summer band concerts, farmer's market, and various special events. Petersen Park, McHenry's community park site, hosts several festivals during the year, including the annual Fiesta Days celebration. The Soap Box Derby, Watercross Snowmobile Event, Miss McHenry Pageant, and Tractor Show have become annual events attracting persons from throughout the county, state and nation.

An aerial view of the Site is found in Exhibit C. The property con- sists of 47,916 square feet; however, the City will retain a 15-foot wide corridor across the north side of the property, adjacent to Boone Lagoon for the Riverwalk. The current zoning is 0-1 Local Office District. Parallel parking is available on Green Street across the property frontage. There is currently a 33,000 square foot,two-story medical building and paved parking area on the site. The City will be clearing the structure and parking lot and will offer a clean site for development. A topographic survey will be prepared by the City after the removal of all struc- tures and re-grading of the site. A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment has been conducted on the property. The Assessment found no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the Site and con- cluded that further environmental study is unnecessary. Soil borings were taken at eight(8) lo- cations on the property and revealed no unusual conditions. The soils report includes criteria for use by the design engineers and architects in preparing the foundation, site, and pavement designs. Interested parties are welcome to review a copy of the Phase 1 Assessment and the soils report,which are available by contacting the City. Information in this RFQ is considered reliable but is not guaranteed. The developer is responsi- ble for making its own analysis and decisions regarding the conditions of the Redevelopment Site. The City will not reimburse the developer for any surveys, title insurance or investigations of the site. 6 REQUEST FOR • City of McHenry,Illinois _ w 16 A. ft 3 Y • • • j T • +� w f r' •�� , 4"� 00.1 ' W P ' t o �:•'le r I.

Neighborhood Context McHenry has three distinct downtown areas: 1) Riverside Drive; 2) Main Street; and 3) Green Street. Each has different characteristics and serves different functions in the community. The Redevelopment Site is located at the south end of the Green Street downtown area. Green Street is a heavily traveled north-south road in the City, with average daily traffic volumes of 9,700 vehicles, and is considered a traditional downtown street with various retail, service, of- fice, banking and restaurant uses. Buildings along the street date from the late 1800's up to the 1970's. Angled parking is available in front of buildings on both sides of the street north of Boone Lagoon. There are two municipal parking lots in the area, one owned by the City behind buildings on the east side of Green Street by Court Street, and the other leased by the City be- hind the Green Street Market building. The City owns two park sites along the east side of Green Street, Walsh Park, which is just north of Boone Lagoon, and Neumann Park, which is just south of the Some Other Nuts building. In the late 1990's, the City invested in new side- walks, brick work and landscaping along Green Street. The character of the area near the Redevelopment Site is mixed. Adjacent to the site, along Waukegan Road on the east is the McHenry Villa, a 114-unit assisted living facility. Further east on Waukegan Road is the Riverwalk Place Townhome development. When completed, Riverwalk Place will contain 20 luxury townhomes, each with a two-car garage and a boat slip. Riverwalk Place was the first project developed in the TIF District. On the south side of Waukegan Road is McHenry High School East Campus, single-family homes and an electrical contractor's business. At the east end of Waukegan Road,there are two marinas, one of which is owned by the City, and the City's Central Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is in the process of being abandoned in approximately five (5)years. To the west of the Redevelopment Site, along Waukegan Road is a parking lot for the former City Hall building, now utilized as a multi-tenant office. West of the parking lot is Landmark School, currently a year-round elementary school, a 6-unit apartment building and single fam- ily-homes. Along the south side of Waukegan are older homes, some of which have been con- verted to two-flats. As previously noted, Green Street contains a diversity of uses. The McHenry Downtown Thea- tre is located north of the Redevelopment Site on the east side of Green Street. Other uses on the east side of the street are a diner,used merchandise store, sporting goods store, clock store, various specialty boutiques, a tavern, a party goods store and a Chinese Restaurant. The west side of Green Street includes: a bank, a family restaurant, a Thai restaurant, a quilt shop, a dry cleaners, a Bistro, the Chamber of Commerce offices and various specialty stores.
