Once completed, new sideline fencing in front of the dugouts is needed for the safety of the players and spectators. The original fencing, which was installed in 1976, was removed during construction of the dugouts. Invitations to quote were sent to four area contractors and only one responded. Attached is a copy of the scope of work. Staff is requesting authorization form the City Council to issue the work order for sideline fencing at Petersen Park Ball Field No. 2 to Meier & Sons Fencing Mfg. for an amount not to exceed $5,380.00. mmg AGENDA SUPPLEMENT TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Douglas K. Maxeiner, City Administrator FOR: April 21, 2003 Regular City Council Meeting RE: Request for Class A Liquor License Recommendation: To approve the request from Plum Garden Restaurant, Inc. d/b/a Plum Garden Restaurant at 3917 W. Main Street for a Class A Liquor License and an Ordinance increasing the number of Class A Liquor Licenses from 25 to 26 and decreasing the number of Class G Liquor Licenses from 5 to 4 effective May 1, 2003. A request was received from Perry Moy, owner and operator of Plum Garden Restaurant to change the classification of the liquor license he currently holds from G to A. This action will allow him to sell at retail, packaged liquors. Mr. Moy explains in his attached letter that he intends to begin hosting wine dinners at his restaurant and would like the ability to sell in packages, his exclusive Plum Wine. Perry Moy has been a business owner in McHenry for over 30-years and an activist in McHenry’s Downtown Revitalization efforts. He has submitted all the required paperwork and has been fingerprinted. It is the recommendation of the Mayor/Liquor Control Commissioner to grant Mr. Moy’s request for a Class A liquor license effective May 1, 2003 and to approve the attached Ordinance increasing the number of Class A liquor licenses from 25 to 26, and decreasing the number of Class G liquor licenses from 5 to 4. mmg AGENDA SUPPLEMENT TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Joseph P. Napolitano, Director of Community Development FOR: April 14, 2003, Regular City Council Meeting RE: A variance to allow a reduction in the number of required off-street parking spaces required for the McHenry Grounds Shopping Center. Todd Scott, Applicant ATTACHMENTS: 1. CDD Report to the Planning and Zoning Commission 2. Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes (3/20/03) 3. Application Packet 4. Site Plan of McHenry Grounds Shopping Center STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To consider the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation and direct Staff to prepare an Ordinance granting a variance to allow a reduction in the number of required off-street parking spaces for the McHenry Grounds Shopping Center. Background The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to allow a reduction in the number of parking spaces required to open a carry out/delivery pizzeria in the McHenry Grounds Shopping Center. Based on other locations, the owner estimates a 70%/30% ratio of deliveries to carryout. No seating is proposed for consumption of food on premises. The size of the unit utilized for this business is approximately 1,680 square feet. Sixteen spaces per 1,000 square feet are required or 23 spaces. Due to the fact that this unit was only allocated six spaces under the parking requirements for shopping centers, a parking space variance would be required to reduce the number by 17 to operate the carryout business. Panera Bread, located on the opposite end of the shopping center, received a variance in 2001 to reduce the required number of off-street parking spaces by 14. The location of the business within the center, the peak hours of business, the actual parking utilized in the center, and the mix of uses should serve to lessen parking requirements at this location. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the request for a variance to reduce the number of required off-street parking spaces with the following conditions: 1. That there be no eat-in seating provided within the restaurant. 2. That delivery drivers be permitted to utilize the alley at the rear of the building as long as there is no stacking of vehicles and there are no complaints from adjacent residents or businesses due to light pollution or noise. The Planning and Zoning Commission also noted that they were concerned with access onto McCullom Lake Road during the Route 31/McCullom Lake Road Intersection Improvements Project. It was the consensus of the Commission that the access to Jiffy Lube onto McCullom Lake Road should not be altered from its current right-in/right-out status. AGENDA SUPPLEMENT TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Joseph P. Napolitano, Director, Community Development FOR: April 14, 2003, Regular City Council Meeting RE: Request for Variance, Municipal Code Requirement for 75% of Exterior Façade to be Constructed of Masonry Material, Boone Creek Unit 6 Townhomes Robert Shannon, Gerstad Builders, Applicant ATTACHMENTS: 1. Letter from Robert Shannon, received April 7, 2003 2. Excerpt from Municipal Code 3. Color Renderings of Proposed Buildings 4. Sample Information Hardiplank Siding STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request as presented. Background/Request Robert Shannon, Vice President of Construction for Gerstad Builders, is requesting a reduction in the amount of masonry required for the townhomes to be constructed in Boone Creek Unit 6. Section 7-19 of the Municipal Code (attached) requires that 75% of the exterior walls of buildings located in the RM-1 and RM-2 districts be faced with brick, brick or masonry veneers, natural or cast stone veneers or other masonry materials. Because of the offsets and cantilevers in the exterior design of the buildings, Gerstad is having difficulty meeting the 75 % requirement. Instead, Gerstad is proposing an exterior of 51% face brick and 49% Hardiplank siding. Hardiplank is a cement and wood fiber composite material that is more durable than normal aluminum or vinyl siding. It is fire resistant, more impact resistant than aluminum or vinyl siding, resists shrinking and swelling, and holds paint 3 to 4 times longer than wood. Analysis Staff has no concerns with the request. The buildings will have an attractive appearance. Also, the Hardiplank is considered a more superior product than aluminum or vinyl siding. Having 51% brick would meet the RA-1 requirements for masonry and is consistent with the townhomes in Kresswood Trails and the Oaks of McHenry.
