And whife the City can benefit from these changes, it is important to ensure that this redeve{opment will rnaintain and enhance the qualities that mak� McNenry a desirabfe place to live. IVew construction must blend with the existing character of the area. It must be compatible with the architectural design, scale and context of the existing residential properties, which surround it.

Mr. Polerecky advised that water issues are part of the engineering process and that the cQncerns f�rought up so far would be addressed during that pracess. Chairman Strach pointed out to the Committee that their rale is to ascertain whether the applicants have camplied with the five items they are required to address in conformance with the Teardown Ordinance. Mr. Wirtz inquired whether those pratocols have been followed by the Grubichs. Mr. Polerecky responded a#firmatively. Alderman Santi opined that Items 3 and 4 are a high priarity for him. One of the key issues is #he engineering regarding the water issue, and that topic wil! nat be discussEd tonight. He stated the Fox River and the Country Club are two areas in the community. He expressed conc�rn regarding the siae of the structure. Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Santi, Rrchitect Lynde Anderson stated the approximate square footage of th�teardown is 2,32t�fe�t and a variance would bQ required for both sides. Nts. Fike reiterated that she has lived in the neighborhaod her ent€re life. Fler concern is that the structure is so large. She stated that the square foatage af living space is nearly 11,t}Q0, which is inappropriate for the neighborhood. Ms. Fike stated the an(y structures in the City of a similar size are cQmtnerciai buildings.

Ms. Fike requested that the architect be required to pravide the Committee with plans depicting the rear e(evation expasures. Mr. Polerecky statec[ h+� respectfully disagreed with Ms. Fike. He noted that a (ot of time and effort has gane into the design of the structure. Mr. Polerecky opined that vvhile he respects Ms. Fike`s concerns,'the subdivision has gradually changed and there are a num�er of different ' size homes currently in the Cauntry Club Estates Subdivision. He stated that the applicant has � c#c�ne everything that can be done and neighbaring homes have been taken into ct�nsideration. � Mr. Pr�lerecky stated that there would actually be 6,Q00 square feet of habitable spaee in the � horne by "`building" definitian.

We have committeci as a farnity to coaching baseball for eight years now and currently have two chlidren in travel programs.I have a great Involyement in my chfidren's academics and also volunteer weekty in the classrooin at Ecigebrook;something 1 t�ave been doin�for tf�ree years now. To succeed in many of today's competitive activities,the athJetes need ta work on improving Fheir skills year rour�d,noi Just during the game season.Our location in the Midwest prevents rnany of the sports from being practfced year round, but competitive sports compete with each other across the Unitecl States.7'here are currently no facllitJes in town for ti�e pubifc to use tt�at are In door except for the school gymnaslums and tt�ere are generally very Ifmited opportunities for ihe public to use them, ; I believe in developing both athtetic and academic abiiities in all cliildren,!t takes a iot of commitment � and hard work from the parents,coaches,and teachers and the kids themseives to make it f�a�pen.Klds tliat do wefl!n school and on the athietic field open up opportunitles for seleciion into colleges and atso the abitity to earn scl�olarsf�ip money through their own hard work and dedicatioiz;things!belleve will serve them weil the rest of their Iife. ln addition to leartiing respect,integrity,and required commltment by being part of athletfc teams,we are also developing good citizens and young ieaclers. i Seing in tvwn and close to the schools,athletic fields,frisnds and teammates is irnportant witl�all tlie ! commltments to the practice and game schedules as weil as the participatEon in the performing arts activities that we are part of and it would be very difficult for us to maintain ti�is level of commit►nent to ail these activ(ties and Ilve further out in the country on more acreage where some folks have suggested we move if we want to build some recreational areas as part of our t►orne. I tove itty hame;it just isn't big enough. I am a life time resident of McHenry as are itiy parents and this I�ouse was built by my grandfather.We have done a 1oi of work to it and are very liappy with sorne of its ; existing spaces,but find that it just isn't large enougl�far our family,ali our gear and our otl�er hobbies, , ; We e►�joy being on tl�e golf course and being dose to town and would like ta increase the size of our � homs so we can be more comfortable fn it.We have a huge belief in the iteaith I�enefits that an active � , I � I Iifestyle can bring and we would ifke to make it easier for our family to maintain their commitiT�ent to exercise and activity over some of the other epidemics currently facing society today due to inactivity, poor food c��oices and reliance on medication througt�the use of recreational areas in our liome design. We also ii►id ourseives wttti the opportunity to do more work frorn home rather tt�an at tlie office necessftating the��eed to reallocate existing spaces in our tiome. My floor plan and size is something I have given a whole tot of thought to:Can I afford to do this?;Will the space be used?;What will I do wiih the space once my ehildrer�are grown and on their own1;Would anyone be interested in this t�orne when I died?I think"yes"wouid be tt�e st�ort answer to these questions. !was a working mother up until five years ago and aEso a member of the arrnecl services for thirteen years.My husband ar�d I currently have 36 combined years of service in tl�e steel fndustry anci fie is still active in it.The big debate about saving atl your money for retirement age and leaving it for your children when you die or enjoying some of it white you are young enough to enjoy lt is something inost people are forced to think aUout by tlie tfine they approach their fifties.We have�nade tl�e decision to spend part of what we t�ave and enjoy it with our ct�ildren instead of leaving lt for thern wfien we are gone. This additlon also glves us flexibility for care for aging family members,return(ng coltege students, and enjoying many family gattierings and hotidays shared together. We beiieve that tf�ese spaces w111 be used an incredible amourzt in the next 10 years by our family and some teamrnates and friends.We have also come up witf�a launciry Ifst of how we can use tt�ese spaces once the kids leave with some minor modiflcations and have trled to design with tt�ese ideas in mind as well. t do believe that ttiere would be real interest in this home with the additi�n if it were placed on the real estate market and the price reflected the amenities and met a family�s needs.3here are a few other homes aroimd the golf course with some recreational areas incl«ded in their design tl�at have not been unoccupied tttrough the years. i furtlier believe that many other residents must also believe it is time to upgrade a►id modernize some of ihe properties around the golf course that have been in a state of decline in the past several years because you have seen a few homes pop trp�n vacant lots over the past decade and you do see people doing remodeling right now and others that want to do remodeting and upgrading.tn the past several years,there have been severa!houses turned into rentals,becoine unoccupied or I�ave been foreclosed on.This area needs to have residents willing ta commit tfie time ar�d effort into restoring tl�ese properties around the golf course to keep this area a truly thriving piece of McHenry's I�istory.The golf course has addec!on and modernized to keep up with the demands of its members and has consistently tr(ed to maintain a higta enough rnem�ership#hat it is able to cost effectiveiy manage the grounds and the clubhouse.I do belteve tl�at the members would appreciate beautiful and well�naintained homes around their course. I have aiways taken prlde in my home and yard and will continue to do so. I would like my addition coinpleted as quickly as p�ssiule and wlil not atlow the construction to linger on any longer tftan is necessary. I plan to begin just as soon as the ground will aliow in March concentrating on completing tlie I � � outsid�over ti�e in�ide and getting the landscaping�lanted as soon as we are able.We will c!a everything irt our pawer to minimize the noise and mess#ha#goes�tong with projects suctt as this anc! will continue to work within the guitielines�nd the orrlinances currentiy in�1ace for o��city.We ar� working with great contractors r}�w on svme tnalnte�tiar�ce tc�our existin�iiame and will give every op�aort�ni#y to local cantractnrs to help us with this praject.Drainage is a key cancern for ai!the 1tt�nteowrters�round the area.We are na different.We have some minor Floaclir�g issues coming fro►n tt�e west which is up hilf as well wtien the rains are tremendatrs like tfie two storrns we I�ad earlier this Year.V1t�ar+�GurrenCly worktng with Va�iderstappen Engii��eering on how we ca�handle Ct��e water arz�! o�r arc#�ite�t also hAids a degree in civll engineering anc�used a great d�al of t�is krtiowledge t�tayout � the i�titlai desi�an working with the elevations of itre lanci as it exists. � I l�ave�an�iec�d tt�e idea of expanding for years now and have rr�ade many inquiries t�a the city and Eownsf�ip aski�ig questions about laws and p�ocedures for acqtilring abutting praperEi�s.i ap�roaclted the land aw�iers vn t�otl�sides of ine expressing tny Interest when they were re�c#y to s�lt a��d the �rnpert�r�f 32U8 became available early this year and so 1 purchased it,My offer and It�terest tc� purch�se 3216 which is the renkal property to the west of my�ra�erty is still on tl�e tat�Ie.!waulc!lave t�a pcirchase it ar�ci ele��up the yard,trees and remove the fertce�nci ttouse and create a iseauEi�tiily lanc�sca��d area whari the opportunity presents itself, We�io�t�aue a l�ng tern�cort�mitrnent to the future�f this pra�erty and tha e�mmut�ity in w#�ich f have �fued for nearl��t3 years now.If there are other questions or curiosities about why I w�nk to da t#iis,I wlli clo tny best to acldress them to any me�t�ber af the committee sa please feel free to contact me at 815-3G3-1347.i truly do appreciate your taking the tirne to read tltraugh this backgrou►�d on�ny thougt�t' process and haw!came to this design. _� , .�— { � �, �.r�... � �. � I � � � i � t ��'" �� o ro ��r�� ..��,� � � ��..-�t,s.�. aLsi�ioc �..r..�d�tt�.� , J�� G�-�..Gu r��T�or�ti� 1 �r�" 7 2��.�� '�,�� 1/�� .. ._. s. ��t l.>'f�,l r.•�d '�Z 14- �.i�/1�ur.?� f,�ir.�AF{g,��.!L. , ----•�- �------�----� ..... .. �.. ___. - � .... � . �—_ � �x��'�"'� ; ?yo,� x .�s'��. .._.La 7.4._ . ..... 2�� K to ,� 23 �, - - --- - . _�. _._. - '� � � �7.�...} .x.�5', 1 ¢:_ ._.r�'-�gp . ---- ...... , , , .. .. . , t .... ._ _. . .. . _ . , . . .�,p._..x .�).2� �' l2 q+� • ._..._.�.- .- � . . .. . �z_�.�-_ � � � �ns��'j'ic�� - j�, -- -- . , _ - L"`-�- V�"'7 . .�.�_Cl ]L2... y �� ..-..-.-..-...+�.�.�..�....... � �'� ---5° -.?�-z.�.?—..��.a_ ,. - .._. _......... �N � x �s � . 1 y�-- ---- . . :. ��n t?- ,� I� _ . 2�� _ _ ...��'�' � - • :k' .. . ..--- ..�.... �, n� �� . x�.�.._._1,a8?. . . . . . ...�'x�v�, �.
