CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: May 6, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ann Campanella, Director of Human Resources & Risk Management
Monte Johnson, Deputy City Clerk
RE: MCMRMA Resolution
ATT: Resolution Authorizing Continuation of MCMRMA for 12-year terms
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The purpose of this agenda item is for Council to approve a resolution authorizing the continuation
of the McHenry County Municipal Risk Management Agency (MCMRMA).
BACKGROUND/PROCESS:
MCMRMA is the Joint Risk Management Pool of which the City is a member along with Algonquin,
Woodstock, Fox River Grove, Island Lake, Spring Grove, and Woodstock Fire & Rescue. It has been in
existence since 1988. The MCMRMA bylaws currently state that each member must vote to
continue its existence every four years, which is no longer a common term of existence in risk
management.
Consequently, after discussion, the MCMRMA Board decided that a 12-year period would be more
appropriate and passed a motion to amend the bylaws as such. This decision by the MCMRMA Board
needs to be ratified by each member’s governing body. Therefore, as part of the regular four-year
continuation declaration, a bylaw amendment is also being included to move to a 12-year term.
It is important to note that this does not restrict the ability of the City of McHenry to withdraw from
MCMRMA with one year’s prior notice as stated in the MCMRMA Bylaws.
RECOMMENDATION:
Pass a Resolution Authorizing Continuation of the McHenry County Municipal Risk Management
Agency

AGENDA ITEM
DATE: May 6, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Deputy Clerk Monte Johnson
RE: Reduction in Video Gaming Establishments
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Throughout the renewal process of liquor and video gaming licenses, two of our video gaming
license holders have declined to renew their video gaming licenses.
Bimbos and Windhill Restaurant have chosen to remove their video gaming machines and will
move forward with liquor only and no gaming. Therefore we need to pass an ordinance to
reduce the number of video gaming licensed establishments. Pending the outcome of the vote
for gaming for the Honduras restaurant, another establishment could be added. I will only
process one video gaming ordinance for the entire meeting. I will base the number in the
ordinance off the approval or denial of the Honduras Restaurant vote.
RECOMMENDATION:
A motion to pass an Ordinance Amending Section 4-6-8, Subsection A – Number of
Licenses, of the McHenry City Code

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Steve Wirch, Public Works Director
RE: Bulk Rock Salt Purchase
ATT: Bid Tabulation
Acceptance of Proposal to Furnish Materials and Approval of Award (BLR 12330)
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council to consider awarding a renewal bulk rock salt contract to Morton Salt, Inc., of
Chicago, Illinois, obtained through a joint bid process coordinated by the Lake County Purchasing
Department on April 16, 2024. Staff further requests that the City Council consider the approval of a
contract contingency allowance for a twenty percent overage on the contract.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department utilizes road salt for the purpose of maintaining safe operating conditions
for vehicles traveling on City roadways. To secure materials at competitive pricing, staff has partnered
with other local agencies to jointly bid the purchase of materials and secure volume pricing. In 2024, the
City joined several municipal agencies, townships, and county agencies in Lake and McHenry Counties to
solicit bids for road salt. The Lake County Division of Transportation facilitated the bid specifications and
solicitation. A request for 1,000 tons of road salt was submitted to Lake County by City staff.
ANALYSIS:
On April 16, 2024, two bids were accepted:
• Morton Salt $92.28/Ton
• Compass Minerals America, Inc. $94.48/Ton
Funding for the purchase of salt for snow and ice control is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Street
Division Operating Budget Materials and Supplies Account (100-33-6110) in an estimated amount of
$110,000.00.
The contract includes an allowance to order up to a twenty percent overage on the original contract
quantity. Should the need arise based upon the conditions of the 2024-2025 winter operations season,
staff will require the authorization of the City Council to utilize this provision. Staff is therefore requesting
City Council to approve a contingency allowance for this twenty percent overage of 200 tons in the amount
of $18,456.00.
12
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be made to award a material supply
contract for bulk rock salt to Morton Salt, Inc., of Chicago, Illinois, in the amount of $92,280.00 (1,000
tons @ $92.28 per ton). It is further recommended that a motion be made to approve a contingency
allowance for a twenty percent overage on the contract in the amount of $18,456.00.

RE: Bull Valley Road STP Resurfacing Project
MFT Funding Resolution
ATT: BLR 09110 Resolution for Improvement Under the Illinois Highway Code
___________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council to consider approval of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Bureau
of Local Roads (BLR) Resolution for Improvement authorizing the use of Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds to
pay the City’s required matching contribution of $85,163 for the Bull Valley Road improvement.
BACKGROUND:
In September 2020, City staff submitted a grant application to the McHenry County Council of Mayors
(MCCOM) for the resurfacing of Bull Valley Road from Crystal Lake Ave to the Boone Creek Bridge, a
distance of 0.50 miles. On December 15, 2020, the City received notification that the City was awarded
$262,139 in federal funding assistance for the project. The City’s local matching requirement will be
$85,163 and was approved by City Council on September 18, 2023. The City’s local match includes
$24,669.00 for engineering and local match of $60,494.00 (20%) for construction. The federal funding
included $20,164.00 for construction engineering and $241,975.00 (80%) for construction. The original
project costs including engineering were estimated at $347,302.
The project was bid on January 19, 2024, for a total construction cost of $255,964.30, approximately 15%
under the engineer’s estimate. If construction can be completed for less than the original budget, both
the City’s contribution and the grant funding received will be reduced accordingly. Construction is
scheduled to start May 6, 2024, and last for 30 calendar days.
ANALYSIS: The City’s agreement with IDOT requires local matching funds up to $85,163.00. The approved
City budget funds the required match with MFT dollars. The attached IDOT form is required to authorize
the MFT expenditure.
27
RECOMMENDATION: Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended to approve the Resolution for
Improvement authorizing $85,163.00 of Motor Fuel Tax funds for the Bull Valley Road STP project.

RE: 2024-2025 Snow Removal Contract, Langton Snow Solutions, Inc.
ATT: Contract for execution
___________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council to consider waiving competitive bidding requirements and awarding
a 2024-2025 City of McHenry Snow Removal Contract to Langton Snow Solutions, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
The fiscal year 2024-2025 Public Works Operating Budget includes $50,000 for contracted snow
removal services. This service is being funded through an increase in the contractual services
portion of the budget, which is balanced by a personnel expenditure reduction generated by staff
attrition.
Historically, the time off allowances in the Local 150 Operating Engineers Collective Bargaining
Agreement have created staffing challenges for Public Works winter operations. The current
contract allows for personnel to be unavailable for plowing for the entire weekend if either a
Friday or a Monday are taken off. The number of personnel off is capped; however, both ends
of a weekend can become stacked with permitted time off requests. These allowances of the
current contract can result in a staffing shortfall. To alleviate this effect, Public Works
Management has pursued different contractual services to supplement the resources of the
operation and ensure that there are no personnel shortfalls for the operation. By contracting
one snowplow route, the need for available drivers in the inventory can be reduced by 2 drivers
and risks to the staffing of routes can be dramatically reduced.
30
Because of Langton Group’s history of performance on municipal contracts, their history of
previous work in the City of McHenry, and the need to commit to a contract early for equipment
procurement assurances, staff reached out to Langton Group to negotiate a contract. Staff spoke
with Langton Group in spring of this year to negotiate a contract and scope of services for which
Langton Group provided a proposed unit price that included a 5% increase from last year and
supplemental conditions to the City’s standard contract purchase order.
ANALYSIS:
The contract is based upon a unit price of $162.75/hour which includes a driver, truck, and deicing
chemical application. Salt will be loaded and provided by the City of McHenry Public Works
Department during routine snow removal operations. The contracted hours of 230 for the
season are based upon historical snow removal hour data averaged over each snow removal
route. The contract includes a 65% retainer to be paid by the end of the season. The pricing and
retainer have been negotiated with Langton by staff, have been found to be acceptable, and are
recommended for approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended to waive competitive bidding requirements
and award the contract to Langton Snow Solutions, Inc. in the amount of $37,432.50 with a
65% retainer of $24,331.12. Actual costs may vary and will be based upon the amount of snow
events for which services are necessary.

RE: 2024 Fire Hydrant Painting Program, Contract Award
ATT: Bid Tabulation, Hydrant Acceptance Agreement
______________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council to consider awarding the 2024 Hydrant Painting Program contract to
GO Painters, Inc. of Maywood, Illinois.
BACKGROUND:
The City of McHenry owns and operates a public water system which includes approximately
1,600 fire hydrants. On an annual basis, the Public Works Department attempts to sandblast and
paint approximately 20% of these hydrants to keep them on a 5-year painting rotation. This
painting allows for the maintenance of hydrants to address weathering and corrosion issues as
well as maintain their visibility for quick access by the local Fire Department.
In years past, this painting process has been self-performed. However, due to staffing limitations
and risk management concerns related to OSHA respiratory protection requirements, staff is
recommending that this operation be subcontracted. Funding for this program is included in the
contractual services portion of the Water Division operating budget (Account 510-31-5110).
In 2022, the City of McHenry led a joint bidding process with other local partners including: the
City of Crystal Lake, the Village of Lakewood, and the Huntley School District. The City of McHenry
acted as lead agency by coordinating the preparation of bid specifications and performing bidding
services. The proposal requested three-year pricing, which is shown on the attached bid
tabulation.
37
ANALYSIS:
Sealed bids for 2022 Fire Hydrant Painting Program were received on April 20, 2022. The bid
quantity was 325 hydrants each, and contractors provided a per each unit price. The City of
McHenry results at 2024 (Year 3) unit price are listed below:
• GO Painters, Inc. $34,775.00 ($107.00/Hydrant)
• Muscat Painting and Decorating $38,671.75 ($118.99/Hydrant)
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended to approve the bid award for the 2024 Hydrant
Painting Program contract to GO Painters, Inc. of Maywood, Illinois, in the amount of
$34,775.00 (actual amount may vary based on final measured quantities). This program will
be funded through the Water Division Contractual Account (510-31-5110).

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: May 6, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Steve Wirch, Director of Public Works
Greg Gruen, P.E., Staff Engineer
RE: Pavement Management Study
ATT: ARA Proposal
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests that City Council consider awarding a contract to Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) to
perform a Pavement Management Report for a fixed price of $83,400.
BACKGROUND:
In 2019, the City received a grant to perform a Pavement Management Report for the City’s 130 centerline
miles of roads. The grant was 100% funded by the Chicagoland Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP)
and the work was performed by ARA. This current proposal before Council is to update the report in its
entirety. The scope of work will include driving all 130 miles of City streets with a Digital Survey Vehicle
with laser scanning technology to determine the amount and severity of the pavement failures and rank
each road segment with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score from 100 (best) to 1 (worst). The
consultant will then input the road condition data into their PAVER software to determine the impact of
the city’s road condition based on several annual funding scenarios ranging from $0 (do nothing) to
$3,000,000/yr. The analysis will include recommendations for different road rehabilitation techniques
from crack-filling to full depth removal and replacement. The scope of work will also include a final
deliverable report as well shape files to incorporate into the City’s GIS database.
The City has made tremendous progress improving the road network over the last 5 years, having repaved
26% of our street network, for a total of 34 centerline miles. Nevertheless, staff consistently receives
inquiries from residents and Council members about when specific roads will be paved. This report will
re-inventory all of the city streets and determine an up-to-date PCI that staff will use to develop the next
5-year road program from 2026 to 2030.
ANALYSIS:
The equipment and specialized expertise required to perform this work is outside of our prequalified pool
of engineering firms. As a result, staff solicited proposals from three well-known firms; however, only two
responded with price quotations and proposals.
41
The City of McHenry is dedicated to providing the citizens, businesses and visitors of McHenry with the highest
quality of programs and services in a customer-oriented, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
A summary is as follows:
Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) $83,400
Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. $99,192
Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) No Proposal
Since ARA performed the 2019 study, their firm is most qualified to perform the work. Their familiarity
with McHenry allowed them to eliminate start-up costs and provide a competitive proposal.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended to award a contract to Applied Research Associates,
Inc. (ARA) in the amount of $83,400.00 to perform the 2024 Pavement Management Study.

(k) To give prompt written notice to the Consultant whenever the City observes or
otherwise becomes aware of any development that affects the scope or timing of Services, except

3.6 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence for the Services and all activities with
regard to the performance of the Services.
3.7 Suspension of Services. The City, at any time and for any reason, may suspend work

ARTICLE 4. SERVICES CHANGE ORDERS; DELAYS
4.1 Services Change Orders. The City, from time to time, may issue a written order
modifying or otherwise changing the scope of the Services included in a Services Change Order (a
“Services Change Order”). Any Services Change Order in an amount exceeding $10,000 must be
approved by the City Council. The Services Change Order will be generally in the form attached to
and by this reference incorporated into this Contract as Attachment A. The Consultant may request
a Services Change Order based on a claimed material change to any Services performed under this
Contract. A Services Change Order may include additions to and deletions from the Services and
will include requested equitable increases or decreases to the Compensation.
4.2 Revision Notices. Within three (3) days after the date of a Services Change Order,
and in any event before the Consultant begins work on any changed Services, the Consultant must
notify the City in writing if the Consultant desires a revision to the Services Change Order (a
“Revision Notice”). The Revision Notice must clearly state the Consultant’s requested revisions and
the reasons for the revisions. If the City agrees to any revision, then the City will issue a revised
Services Change Order in a form acceptable to the Parties. If the Consultant does not submit a
Revision Notice within the (3) -day period, then the Consultant will be deemed to have accepted the
Services Change Order and the Services Change Order will be final.
4.3 No Change in Absence of Services Change Order. No claim for an adjustment in
Compensation or Project Schedule will be made or allowed unless it is embodied in a Services
Change Order signed by the City and the Consultant. If the Consultant believes it is entitled to an
adjustment in the Compensation or Project Schedule terms that has not been included, or fully
included, in a Services Change Order, then the Consultant may submit to the City a written request
for the issuance of, or revision of, a Services Change Order including the desired adjustment. The
Consultant’s request must be submitted before the Consultant proceeds with any Services for which
an adjustment is desired.
4.4 Delays. If a delay in providing Services results from one or more causes that could
not be avoided or controlled by the Consultant, then the Consultant may be entitled to an extension
of the Project Schedule for a period of time equal to that delay, or an adjustment in Compensation
51
City of McHenry Professional Services Contract
-6-
for extra costs related to the delay, or both. The Consultant must notify the City in writing within 3
days after the start of the delay and again in writing within 3 days after the delay has ended (the
“Delay Period”). The first notice must state the cause or causes of the delay and the impact of the
delay on providing Services. The second notice must state the cause or causes of the delay, the length
of the day, the reasons why the delay disrupted performance of the Services and the Consultant’s
request, if any, for a change in Compensation or Project Schedule. If the Consultant fails to submit
notices as provided in this Section 4.5, then the Consultant will be deemed to have waived any right
to an adjustment in Compensation for the Services.

Contract For Execution
_____________________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff requests City Council to consider awarding a contract to Superior Road Striping, Inc. for the 2024 City

BACKGROUND:
On an annual basis, the Public Works Department completes pavement markings of longitudinal lines,
crosswalks, stop bars, and turn lanes on a multi-year schedule. This work is funded out of the Street
Division Operating Budget (Contractual Account) and is completed on a contractual basis. The City of
McHenry partnered with McHenry County and several local municipal agencies to issue a joint bid request.
McHenry County facilitated the bid specifications and solicitation. Bids were opened on April 17, 2024.
ANALYSIS:
Sealed bids for the 2024 Thermoplastic Pavement Marking Program were received on April 17, 2024. The
City of McHenry Tabulation based upon quantities awarded under this contract yields the following
results:
• Superior Road Striping, Inc. $42,886.70
• Precision Pavement Markings, Inc. $45,776.00
Two prospective bidders submitted pricing on this proposal. Pricing is the anticipated amount that was
budgeted for in the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Budget. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council
authorize staff to proceed with the awarding of this contract.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended to approve the bid award for the 2024 Thermoplastic
Pavement Marking contract to Superior Road Striping, Inc. in an amount of $42,886.70 (actual amount
may vary based on final measured quantities). This project will be funded through the Street Division
Contractual Account (100-33-5110).

Contractor/Vendor or terminate this Purchase Order for default in accordance with paragraph 12 herein. By inspecting and not
rejecting any goods and Work furnished thereunder, Owner shall not be precluded thereby from subsequently revoking its acceptance
thereof if the goods or Work are later discovered to be nonconforming with this Purchase Order or the specifications and drawings
applicable hereto, even if the defect does not substantially impair value to Owner.
7. Taxes, Delivery, Risk of Loss: Unless indicated to the contrary on the face hereof, it shall be the responsibility of
Contractor/Vendor to arrange for and complete delivery of all goods or materials. If the goods or materials furnished thereunder are
equipment, Contractor/Vendor shall give Owner two (2) working days’ advance notice of delivery. All goods or materials furnished
by Contractor/Vendor should be shipped in the manner and at the times indicated on the face hereof at the expense of
Contractor/Vendor, it being understood that the risk of loss with respect to such goods is with Contractor/Vendor until such goods
come into the actual possession of Owner, regardless of the mode of delivery or earlier passage of title. This project is tax exempt.
The Owner’s tax-exempt number is E9995881.
8. Payment: Owner will make partial payments to the Contractor/Vendor from time to time for the Work performed and the materials
furnished by the Contractor/Vendor. Provided, however, in no event shall Owner be obligated to pay Contractor/Vendor any sum that
exceeds the Contract Price absent a written change order executed by Owner.
8.1 Prior to issuance of any payments by the Owner to the Contractor/Vendor, the Contractor/Vendor shall furnish to the
Owner (in a form suitable to the Owner) an application for the payment then due, together with receipts, waivers of claim and other
evidence showing the Contractor/Vendor’s payments for materials, labor and other expense incurred in the Contractor/Vendor’s Work
hereunder. The Owner will, at all times, be entitled to retain ten percent (10%) of all monies due and owing to the Contractor/Vendor
as a part security for the faithful performance of this Agreement. This ten percent (10%) so withheld will not be paid to the
Contractor/Vendor until the Owner has issued to the Contractor/Vendor a final acceptance of the Project.
8.2 Owner may withhold the whole or any part of any payment due to the Contractor/Vendor to the extent necessary to
protect and indemnify the Owner from loss on account of (a) defective Work not remedied; (b) claims filed or reasonable evidence
indicating probable filing of claims; (c) failure of the Contractor/Vendor to make payments promptly for material or labor; or (d)
Contractor/Vendor’s failure to furnish Owner with all written warranties and operational manuals for the Work.

Contractor/Vendor or through failure of the Contractor/Vendor to act as may be otherwise detailed herein; (c) materialmen; (d)

applying such monies so available in the order hereinbefore set forth.
8.4 Owner, without invalidating this Agreement, may make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from the Work to be
performed. The value of any such changes will be determined as follows: (a) by the unit prices named in this Agreement, if any; or (b)
by agreement in writing between the Owner and the Contractor/Vendor as to the value of the time and materials for the changes in the
Work. In any event, the Contractor/Vendor will keep and present, in any form as the Owner may direct, a correct account of the net
cost of any extra labor and materials, together with vouchers referring to the same.
8.5 Notwithstanding the payment in full for the Work hereunder, the Contractor/Vendor will be liable to repair or replace any
imperfect workmanship or other faults; and if the Contractor/Vendor fails to repair or replace the imperfect workmanship or other
81
4
faults, the Owner may do the Work and recover from the Contractor/Vendor the cost and expense thereof. No payment on account
will be construed or considered as an approval of the Work for which payment is made.

equity that all materials and Work furnished thereunder (a) shall confirm to any specifications and drawings applicable to this
Purchase Order; (b) shall be merchantable and of good quality and workmanship; (c) shall be fit for the purpose intended as well as

accepted in writing by Owner. Contractor/Vendor expressly agrees that the statute of limitations with respect to Contractor/Vendor’s
warranties shall begin to run on the date of acceptance by Owner.
10. Insurance and Bonds: Contractor/Vendor shall at all times maintain business automobile, commercial liability and workers
compensation insurance covering its work and all obligations under this Purchase Order and shall name the Owner as an additional
insured on its commercial liability insurance policies for Contractor/Vendor operations under this Purchase Order. Liability insurance

$1,000,000.00 per occurrence. Contractor/Vendor shall furnish and pay for surety bonds and with surety or sureties satisfactory to
Owner, guaranteeing the full performance of all of the conditions and terms hereof and guaranteeing that Contractor/Vendor shall
promptly pay for all labor, materials, supplies, tools, equipment and other charges or costs of Contractor/Vendor in connection with

the future exercise of such right, but the obligation of Contractor/Vendor and Owner with respect to such future performance shall
continue in full force and effect.
20. Controlling Law, Severability: The validly of this Purchase Order or any of its provisions and the sufficiency of any

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: May 6, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Pearl Street Market Special Use and Special Event Liquor License
ATTACHMENTS: Special Use Application
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY: The Pearl Street Market is requesting the use of Veteran’s Memorial
Park on Thursdays May 16th – September 19th to host the markets and the city band concerts.
They are requesting use of the park, the support of city services and the waiver of the associated
fees with that support. In addition, they are requesting a special event liquor license for each of
the events. The events run from 4pm – 9pm every Thursday throughout the summer.
BACKGROUND: The Pearl Street Market is a Not-for-Profit group set up to run the markets. They
have also taken on the responsibility for the band concerts and their coordination, including
scheduling of the bands. The city continues to pay for the city band dates, city band practices
and the Fiesta Days concert date.
The concerts and markets have long included food vendors and beginning in 2015 a special event
alcohol license was approved by city council in conjunction with the events.
ANALYSIS: The markets and the concerts are the heart of the summer event schedule and have
been for years and years. The multigenerational events are something the community looks
forward to each summer.
Within the last 5 years the Pearl Street Market group has taken a much more active role in
scheduling bands and coordinating the event as one cohesive offering. They schedule all the food
trucks and food vendors for the events. The city does continue to cover the costs for the city
band performances and for the Fiesta Days performance, however the market finds sponsors and
raises money to pay for all other concert dates.
They are once again requesting a special event liquor license for the events. This has been a nice
addition for almost 10 years with no incidents being reported with its inclusion. They will work
84
with a local business that has a liquor license to provide that service and secure all proper
licensing.
RECOMMENDATION:
Therefore, if Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be considered to approve a
Parks Special Use Permit Application submitted by the Pearl Street Market for the summer
markets and band concerts May 16th – September 19th from 4pm to 9pm each Thursday, to
approve a special event liquor license in conjunction with those events and to waive the
associated fees for the reservation and the support services.

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: May 6, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Special Use Application for Miller Point Park
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The McHenry Riverwalk Foundation is requesting permission to host food trucks weekly and to
allow consumption of alcohol throughout the grounds of Miller Point Park in conjunction with
the Music Sunday band concerts beginning on May 26th through the end of the summer on
September 29th from 1pm – 4pm. They are also requesting the waiver of any park rental fees or
support service fees for the events.
BACKGROUND:
Beginning in the summer of 2021, the Riverwalk Foundation has hosted a concert series entitled
Summer Music Sundays at Miller Point Park. The concerts run from 1 – 4pm and are typically
smaller bands and at times, acoustic artists. The Foundation has had a great deal of success in
securing sponsorship for virtually all of the concerts in the past. Similar to the Pearl Street
Markets but on a smaller scale, the city has sponsored 2 concerts per season in previous seasons
amounting to less than $1,000.
The concerts are supported by the presence of 1 to 2 food trucks at the events. The food trucks
are charged $50 each and this money is used to offset any concerts that go unsponsored.
The concerts were suspended during the summer of 2023 while the park was undergoing
renovations. However, now that the renovations are complete, the Foundation looks to bring
the popular series back.
ANALYSIS:
The Summer Music Sundays have proven to be a relaxed music series that highlights the
Riverwalk, the park and the Fox River. The addition of the Riverwalk Shoppes adds a perfect
pairing to the music. The ability to create fluidity in the park is a part of the success and as such
the request to allow alcohol throughout the park on these days during these times via a Special
Use Application has been attached. This request follows the footprint of the Pearl Street Market
and its success.
The concerts will also be supported by the McHenry Riverwalk Foundation in assisting to manage
the grounds during the concerts.
87
If City Council concurs then a motion should be considered to approve the Special Use
Application from the McHenry Riverwalk Foundation to allow the consumption of alcohol
throughout the grounds of Miller Point Park in conjunction with the Music Sunday band
concerts beginning on May 26th through the end of the summer season on September 29th from
1pm – 4pm and to waive all associated rental and support fees for the event.

CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: May 6, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Authorization to allow the Mayor to enter into an IGA with McHenry County for
the construction of a building and installation of piers for use by the McHenry
County Sheriff’s Office Marine Unit.
Attachment: Existing Intergovernmental Agreement
Proposed Intergovernmental Agreement
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Attached Council will find an updated intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the City and
the County which authorizes the McHenry County Sheriff’s Marine Unit to conduct Marine
Operations at Miller Riverfront Park through the use of a new building and three (3) piers. Staff
is requesting Council approval to authorize the Mayor to enter into this updated
intergovernmental agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The city entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the McHenry County Sheriff’s
Department in 2021 for the construction of piers and the placement of a trailer housing the
Sheriff’s Marine Unit at Miller Riverfront Park. The intent of the agreement however was to
further establish the Marine Unit presence with a permanent building that the city would build
based on the sheriff’s specifications and that the sheriff’s department would fund. Additionally,
as part of the building, two single public bathrooms would be constructed. Within the agreement
the city would provide the electricity and fund a portion of the water and sewer costs at 50% of
the costs of the utilities, with the intention of a $50,000 cap on city exposure.
The existing document takes the project through construction of the building. Now that
construction of the building has commenced, the County initiated a clean-up of the document.
The amended document amends the language and transitions the project to an existing building
in place and any ramifications of separation with the building in place. All terms remain the same
as the initial agreement with any separation. Also, since the building was simplified for cost
savings and constructability including transitioning from two public restrooms to one, the total
city exposure on construction was agreed to be reduced from $50,000 to $25,000. All other
aspects remain unchanged aside from language amendments.
90
ANALYSIS:
The amended agreement represents no significant changes essentially other than language. The
only substantial change in conjunction with the amendments is the City’s reduction in overall
exposure. As a reminder, the City remains responsible for the relocation of the lighting as a part
of the paving grant that was awarded for the project from the IDNR. The lighting relocation was
included in the overall construction quote that was approved by city council and it does not count
towards the amended overall exposure. For clarity, the City has a 50% exposure at a $25,000
max towards installation of a well and extension of a sewer line to the building; additionally the
City is fully responsible for the $31,860 to relocate the parking lot lighting. Ongoing utility costs
will be the responsibility of the City of McHenry as laid out in the original agreement.
The agreement has been reviewed and approved by the County Board already.
If City Council concurs then a motion should be considered authorizing the Mayor to execute
the attached Updated Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of McHenry and the
County of McHenry relating to the McHenry County Sheriff’s Marine Unit.

Alderwoman Bassi wanted to know what the actual budget amount is for the park's
maintenance, $57,000 contractual $96,000 materials, and supplies, not including mowing
portable toilets, per Director Hobson. Will that replace the swing set in East Park, no because
that is a Capital project per Director Hobson, answering Alderwoman Bassi, who also
commented that they have shifted more to maintenance than replacement capital. Some
examples of the $96,000, are a variety of things such as gravel replacement, limestone
screenings, fence repairs, mulch, paint shelter repairs, etc. 23-24 fiscal year. Alderwoman
Bassi had asked what neighborhood parks were repaired, Director Hobson stated that there
has not been a document for that because it was a culmination of work order repairs, most of
those reported are the larger repairs for the accomplishment sheets. It could be sent out every
quarter if it was something that would like to be seen, which in conclusion will be presented.
Director Hobson also encourages the public to help make the park system better. Alderwoman
Bassi also spoke regarding a study that she had reviewed about the home value going up when
the parks are maintained but the opposite occurs when they are in disarray. Also asking which
park is the first one addressed, Director Hobson, stated that safety is always the priority, next
looking at high profile more used parks.
Alderman Santi had questions about the overall budget for Finance Director Lynch, $59,400
for the revenue side, she confirmed, and $63,300 on the expense side. Total budget
amendments there were 4, about $90,000.
Alderman Glab wanted to bring up the parks issue again, have not heard many complaints but
did not hear any accolades either. Would like to see how the level can be higher for them, or
to be a little more creative. In the budget, there was talk about a transfer of $130,000 he feels
it should come out of the donation funds, rather than the General Fund. The more that can be
kept in the General Fund would allow for other projects.
Director Hobson responded by stating that they are nearing the end of the survey for the Parks
and Recreation Department, there were 750 respondents, and there will be a workshop to
review those survey results, based on what the residents stated.

FROM: Deputy Clerk Monte Johnson
RE: Honduras Restaurant Video Gaming
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
Restaurante Hondureno Bustillo Matute LLC, located at 4113 W Shamrock Lane, has applied for
a video gaming license.
The restaurant opened in November of 2023 and has already been issued a Class B liquor
license. They are now coming forward to request video gaming. It does not appear that they are
trying to operate as a video gaming café, and that the primary focus of the business is as a
restaurant. The purpose of the request for video gaming appears to be wanting to supplement
their income to help the restaurant succeed.
RECOMMENDATION:
A motion to approve a video gaming license to Restaurante Hondureno Bustillo Matute at
4113 W Shamrock Lane, and if approved a motion to pass an Ordinance Amending Section 4-
6-8, Subsection A – Number of Licenses, of the McHenry City Code

Owner Bios
Rhett Wilborn, McHenry IL- 45% Owner
My name is Rhett Wilborn. I am a lifelong resident of McHenry County, having grown
up in Crystal Lake, and a resident of the city of McHenry since 2014. I own a successful
roofing and exterior company called Innovative Home Concepts which has been in
business since 2005. I also own residential and commercial investment properties, all
located in McHenry County. I have been an entrepreneur since a very young age and
love to learn new things and use my knowledge and experience to improve homes,
properties, and businesses. I learned about business from my parents, Doreen and
Terry Wilborn, who back in the day owned several businesses in the area, including the
infamous Sloppy T's, which was very popular in the 90's and early 2000's. After Sloppy
T's closed because the Chrysler dealership bought their building to expand , My Mom,
supported by my Dad, opened a bar / restaurant in Southern Illinois that became very
popular and successful. Unfortunately, my Mom passed away in 2009. Her death
ended that business venture and it was sold shortly after.
Having lived in McHenry for the past decade, I have fallen in love with the history of the
area. The River and Chain of Lakes, Green Street, Main Street, and Riverside Drive
(old Water Street) are some of the coolest areas in the County. And even though I
didn't live here at the time, I did frequent McHenry when my parents owned their bar
here. At that time McHenry, for lack of a better term, was suffering. But since I moved
here, the City has slowly and successfully regentrified. Mayor Jett and the City Council
have done an awesome job in attracting and promoting new business, new
development, and new rehabilitation in key areas. I believe there is no reason that
McHenry can't be the crown jewel City of McHenry County. And I also believe if the
powers that be continue the path they are on, McHenry will be the top destination it
once was and should be again.
When you talk about the history of McHenry, there is no better example than the
Riverside Hotel. Built in the 1860's the Hotel has been a part of the community for
longer than anyone alive can remember. Jay and Judy, the newest owners of the
building, have done a stellar job in trying to stabilize and improve the building. Jay, like
me, is a history buff and loves the history of the building and would love to restore her to
her former glory. Only time will tell how far they get on their quest.
A large part of the recent history of the Riverside Hotel is The Foxhole. Dating back to
just after World War 2, when Harry's New York CaBARet Bar changed its name to the
Foxhole to honor Veterans coming back from the War, this establishment has been a
staple in the community. From families going out on Friday nights for delicious pizza to
little league teams celebrating after a close win, to folks wanting to go out for a drink in a
cool subterrain tavern, the Foxhole was the place to be. I have had the pleasure of
145
talking to quite a few "old timers" that used to frequent the establishment back in the
day, all of them have so many good stories and great memories of the place. I have
been told many times that the Foxhole was the place to go.
As everyone knows, the Foxhole unfortunately was forced to close its doors last
December. It was a sad ending to the latest chapter in the history of a loved
place. There are many theories to why it closed, and I won't speculate, but most people
will agree it was slowly declining for several years before it finally shuttered. Let's be
honest, the character of the space was there but the atmosphere was
declining. Mismatched and stained ceiling tiles, ripped seats, a grand old classic bar in
dire need of rehabilitation, a kitchen falling apart, scary bathrooms, and food preparation
process that the health department deemed dangerous. The decline was obvious and
unfortunately fatal to the business.
Ever since we moved to McHenry, we took our family to the Foxhole. It was a place to
get pizza and beers. Nothing fancy, family friendly, in a historical building that had a
good vibe. Past that I never thought about it. Then it closed. I did regret not going
more often. I saw the outpour of concern from the community on social media. And I
wondered what would become of it. I even at that time thought, maybe it wouldn't be a
bad thing to get involved in it. But life got in the way, I soon forgot. Until I was
approached by one of the sales reps from our contracting business, Kevin Rourke. He
had been talking to the owners of the building, had toured the space a half dozen times,
and was extremely interested in taking it over. What really convinced me however was
his passion for the Foxhole. His family had been going there for decades. His parents,
his grandparents, his whole family frequented the restaurant. He had so many
memories of the place dating all the way back to when he was a little kid. He shared
with me that even as a little one he had dreamed of owning the Foxhole. I have known
Kevin for about 7 years, I had never seen him so serious and so passionate about
something.
I know about business, marketing, sales, rehabbing houses, and home improvement but
very little about the restaurant/bar business. Kevin knows restaurants. He has
managed several pizza places, he's grown up in the restaurant business (his parents
own Dilar's in Richmond), and he is an excellent cook. I call him Chef Kevin, even
though he doesn't like it. With my and Courtney Wander's business knowledge, Kevin's
restaurant management and cooking knowledge, and the history and allure of the
Foxhole itself, we feel very confident this venture will be successful.
146
I have looked at other spaces on Green Street and other places but they weren't set up
to be a restaurant so there was what seemed like an unsurmountable amount of work to
be done. The Foxhole is a bar and is a restaurant as it sits. It could have quite literally
been opened the day we signed the lease. But if we did that the Foxhole would still just
be a "hole in the ground". Our intent is to do what should have been a long time
ago. We are in the process of cleaning the place out and cleaning it up. We want to
maintain the charm, history, and vibe but make it clean and fresh. I won't go into too
many details about the remodel to preserve the mystery, but I will say people won't be
afraid to use the washrooms anymore and you will love taking your family here for
dinner or coming down to have a drink or two with your friends.
And don't worry the food is going to be great too. We are using the existing menu as a
backbone for our new menu with some exciting changes. Along with the original thin
crust that everyone loved, we are adding a true Chicago style deep dish pizza that will
knock your socks off. We are also adding melt in your mouth broasted chicken from an
age-old Rourke family breading recipe, Courtney's "Naw off the Bone" Ribs that aren't
your grandma’s crook pot fall off the bones ribs but real BBQ style bones, and to top
things off we will be serving a Chicken Parm sandwich and Chicken Parm dinner to die
for.
We want to bring the Foxhole back to its past glory. We want it to not just be a place
that had good memories for so many, but a place where many good memories are still
made for years and years to come. Our goal is to make McHenry known for the River,
The Riverwalk, for the Warriors, and for Foxhole Pizza! And remember, everyone
knows Monday night is Foxhole Pizza Night, so mark your calendars. We are excited to
serve you!
Courtney Wander, McHenry IL- 35% Owner
I was born in Park Ridge ALMOST 50 years ago. I moved to Wonder Lake when I was
5. I started Kindergarten at Landmark! I have been in the McHenry area for as long as I
can remember. I graduated from West Campus in 1993.
All through High School I worked for McDonalds. The one right on Route 120- The OG. I
was there from the time I was 14 years old ( I remember the day me and my sister
Brandi landed jobs there- we celebrated by going to Spurgeons and buying new
matching Leather Fringe Jean Jackets) I was granted a scholarship to go to MCC after
High School and took various classes in Early Childhood Education and Biological
Sciences. I shadowed teachers for a day at Ridgefield Montessori School. This was the
day I realized that I was not made to be a teacher. I switched my classes to focus more
on finances and accounting. Numbers were my thing. They made sense and there was
147
a ”right” answer to every problem. I liked that. After my stint at MCC, I landed a job at
Witron Integrated Logistics in Arlington Heights. Witron is a German Engineering Firm
that automates warehouses across the world. This was the US headquarters. I was the
Administrator and started there when they were brand new to the US. Talk about a
learning curve! Germans have no idea how to deal with Americans. I t was fun, it was
what I liked (numbers) as I was responsible for all the bookkeeping and reported to the
CFO in Holland.
My time there lasted about 10 years when a friend (Rhett Wilborn) reached out to me to
see if I could help him with a company he had recently opened, Innovative Home
Concepts in Crystal Lake. In 2005, Rhett opened the business and in 2006 I joined him.
I have been responsible for the day-to-day operations at Innovative since then.
When Kevin approached us about this opportunity, I have to say, I was Excited! I always
loved the Foxhole growing up and I know so many members of the McHenry
Community will completely embrace it. Serving on the board for the McHenry Jr.
Warriors Youth Football league I have visions of hosting fundraising nights and after
game events at our pizza place for the kids and their families. It makes me smile, and I
know Kevin has the gumption to make it successful.
I, the same as Rhett, will be overseeing business at the Foxhole by watching the
numbers and helping with marketing. We will be managing by numbers while Kevin will
be immersed in the day-to-day operations of the business as the General Manager.
Ryleigh Morton, McHenry IL- 10% Owner
I was born and raised in McHenry, I graduated from East Campus (last year for Seniors
at East!) in 2021- Covid Year- Not much fun for us Seniors as we missed out on a lot!
The good thing Covid did for me, it had forced me to look at the world in a different way.
I hear older adults say, ‘things aren’t the same since Covid”, but in all honesty things are
the same for me. I became an adult at one of the strangest times in history. The world
was shut down. I graduated from High School. I had to make money. I started working
at Rusty Nail as a hostess when I was 16 so the restaurant business was what I knew. I
went from hosting to serving while in High School and changed jobs to work at Studio
Hot Rods Roadhouse Bar and Grill. There I was a server until Covid shut us down to the
outside world. We opened a food truck and I was able to continue working out of the
food truck serving folks in the community. Once Covid was “over” Studio Hot Rods
reopened as Studio Hot Rods Smokehouse- There I managed front of the house and
bar of a smokehouse for 4 years. My duties included: scheduling employees, ordering
148
food and liquor for bar and kitchen, closing out drawers at night, creating food/bar
menus, managing floor during open hours, expo food, serving tables, tracking food
handler and basset certificates, end of night tip payouts.... and much more.
Unfortunately, the owner of the restaurant decided to close and sell the property.
I currently am an inside production coordinator for Innovative Home Concepts in Crystal
Lake. My duties include, scheduling install crews, ordering material, applying for
permits, scheduling city inspections, acting liaison for homeowners and crews, job
costing, and much more.
My role at Foxhole Pizza and Pub will consist of training servers, reporting, keeping
track of inventory, and miscellaneous duties as they arise. We all work as a team. My
strength is in the front end of the house.
About me Personally, I have a fiancée of 4 years, we met shortly before I graduated and
moved in together when I was 18. We have 3 cats, 1 dog, 1 snake and 7 fish. My
hobbies include organizing anything and everything I can, spreadsheets are my best
friend. In my free time I like to garden, read novels, and watch educational podcasts. I
also practice Photography on the side.
Skyler Wilborn, McHenry IL- 10% Owner
My name is Skyler Wilborn, and I am a 10% investor in the Fox Hole, along with my dad
Rhett, my stepmom Courtney, and my sister Ryleigh, who are also partners in this
venture. Our family operates effectively as a team with all of us working at Innovative
Home Concepts, an exterior home remodeling company founded by my dad in 2005.
There, we collaborate daily, with each of us playing a unique role to fulfill our common
mission.
The entrepreneurial spirit is deeply ingrained in our family history, with my grandparents
previously owning both a home renovation company and a bar here in McHenry. I am
excited and proud to build upon my grandparents' legacy through our work at Innovati ve
Home Concepts and our involvement with the Fox Hole. Having lived in McHenry for
only a few years, I am already witnessing its transformation into a vibrant, thriving
community. The Fox Hole, a well-known local landmark, seemed at risk of being left
behind in what could be considered the "old" McHenry. However, I see it as perfectly
positioned with some love and care to regain its former glory and become an integral
part of the revitalized McHenry. I am thrilled for my family and myself to not only be a
part of McHenry's history but to also help shape its future.

Kevin Rourke, Ringwood IL- General Manager
I am a McHenry OG! I graduated from McHenry High East School in 2002 and became
an amateur skateboarder from age 21-26 sponsored by Monster Energy Drinks touring
and winning competitions! Once I found out I was going to be a father, I had to quit and
cut my hair and get a job! My daughter is now 13.
From Ages 18-32 I worked in the pizza industry. After I quit skateboarding, I opened or
took over management of 5 different pizza restaurants. For the new ones, I would open
them from the ground up and get them to a point where a manager could take over day
to day operations. For the struggling ones I stepped in and helped them increase their
weekly sales up to double their current revenue within 6 months.
I have worked at my family’s restaurant, Dilar’s in Richmond since the age of 14. I step
in where needed but mostly in the kitchen. The back end of the house is my strong area
of expertise. I am fully capable of running the entire restaurant, bu t I have to say
cooking is my passion. We have a lot of family recipes that I intend to incorporate into
the new and improved Foxhole Pizza and Pub.
I am a part time sales consultant at Innovative Home Concepts with Rhett, Courtney,
Skyler and Ryleigh. I have known the family for many years and know by watching how
they care about their customers and their people at Innovative, that this venture is
supported by the most caring and dedicated people I know. I am enthusiastic and
excited to open and make Foxhole a place of community and fun for McHenry. A family
place. A good vibe.
About me personally, I am a socializer at heart. I love talking to other restaurant owners
and have become friends with quite a few people in the industry. Everyone that I have
talked to about our plans is very excited and very supportive of our venture. I am so
excited about this opportunity to be a part of McHenry’s culture for years to come.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FOR: May 6, 2024 City Council Meeting
FROM: Cody Sheriff, City Planner
RE: Ordinance granting a Use Variance to allow the Outdoor Storage of Automobiles,
Recreational Vehicles, Trailers, and Equipment as the Principal Use on a portion
of the property located at 2212 N Richmond Road.
ATT:
1. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated April 17, 2024
2. Ordinance granting a Use Variance to allow the Outdoor Storage of Automobiles,
Recreational Vehicles, Trailers, and Equipment as the Principal Use on a portion of the
property located at 2212 N Richmond Road.
3. Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Report & Petitioner’s Application Packet
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The petitioner, Vantage McHenry Holdings LLC., is requesting approval of a Use Variance to
allow the Outdoor Storage of Automobiles, Recreational Vehicles, Trailers, and Equipment as
the Principal Use on a portion of the property located at 2212 N Richmond Road. Currently
zoned C-5 Highway Commercial District, the Zoning Ordinance does not allow Outdoor Storage
as a Principal Use in any Zoning District. Located south of the existing Shops at the Fox River
Commercial Subdivision, the development is located on a 7-acre portion of the property that is
currently farmed. The storage area would be able to store up to a maximum of 140 full sized
semi tractor trailers, recreational vehicles, or boats.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION:
A public hearing for the request was held on April 17, 2024. Overall, there was limited
discussion on the item and the Commission did not feel that approval of the request would
generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding property owners given the existing dense

vegetation surrounding the site. There were no objectors from the public present. The Planning

If the City Council concurs, it is recommended that the attached ordinance granting a use

equipment as the principal use on a portion of the property located at 2212 N Richmond Road
be approved (City Council vote-simple majority).

File No. Z-2024-05
Petitioner: Vantage McHenry Holdings LLC
Request for a Use Variance to allow the Outdoor Storage of Automobiles, Recreational
Vehicles, Trailers, and Equipment as the Principal Use
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the file at 5:49 p.m. Nate Wynsma was present and sworn
in. Planner Sheriff stated that all public hearing requirements were met. Mr. Wynsma
explained that they own a parcel of land south of the Fox River Shops, south of Diamond
Drive. The area is proposed near the former Route 53 bypass right-of-way. There are 25.5
acres, much of which is wooded and wetlands. The area that is primarily farmed is the part
that is being proposed for development. The variance would allow them to have a storage
facility that is professionally operated. They would develop less than 30% of the property
and keep the rest natural. They have easements for the existing paved area to get to their
property. They would preserve the wetlands, run a professional operation, and have an
automated and gated electronic entry, and it would be secured, surrounded by fence, and
well lit. They intend to cater primarily to businesses for trucks, equipment, RVs, boats, and
trailers. There would be no short-term use with all long-term leases and no overnight
stays.
Planner Sheriff stated that the use variation is for outdoor storage. Staff visited the site and
noted that the storage area would be mostly farmed land. He took a picture from the
existing townhomes, and they can’t even see the farmed area due to it being heavily
wooded. With the natural separation, Staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts on the
townhomes. Included in the conditions of approval is that they must maintain the natural
screening of the site or some type of appropriate substitution.
Commissioner Locke asked if they would use an asphalt pad. Mr. Wynsma explained that it
would be a hard surface of recycled asphalt that is striped. Commissioner Locke stated he
was concerned about runoff. It was explained that this will be handled through the final
engineering with surveys and plans to d=help drain it. It generally runs south and east
towards the wetlands. It is naturally sloped. If needed, they would incorporate storm

basins that would hold a certain volume and would clean the runoff before being
discharged. Mr. Locke asked what the heavy equipment consisted of. It was explained that
this would be similar to trucks that Asplundh has. Many companies have trucks that drivers
can’t take at home at night and park in subdivisions. They hope to cater to similar fleet
companies.
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the public hearing at 5:59 p.m. With nobody wishing to
speak, the public hearing was closed at 5:59 p.m.
Commissioner Riley stated that he had no worries about the request. Commissioner Davis
asked if storage containers would be the primary storage. It was explained that vehicles
would be primarily stored there but some containers might be mixed in. Commissioner
Bremer asked if people traveling with motor homes would stay there with the overnight
trucking. It was explained that there can be no overnight sleeping. The motorhomes that
would be parked there would belong to RV businesses and not individuals. Commissioners
Lehman and Locke had no problem with the request.
A motion was made by Commissioner Lehman and seconded by Commissioner Davis to
recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Use Variation to allow the Outdoor
Storage of Automobiles, Recreational Vehicles, Trailers, and Equipment as the Principal Use
of the Subject Property, subject to the following conditions:
1. The Property Owner shall be required to maintain the natural landscape screening
surrounding the 7-acre project area to the greatest extent possible or screen the project
area from view with an appropriate substitute as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
2. All development on site shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted plans.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Use Variances have
been met as outlined in the staff report.

Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUNDD && REQUESTT SUMMARYY
The petitioner, Vantage McHenry Holdings LLC., is requesting the following zoning approval(s) to operate an
outdoor rental storage facility on the property commonly known as 2212 N Richmond Road:
1. Request for a Use Variation to allow the Outdoor Storage of Automobiles, Recreational Vehicles,
Trailers, and Equipment as the Principal Use in conjunction with the operation of an Outdoor Rental
Storage Facility.
The project area is located on a 7-acre portion of the property that is currently farmed. The remaining area
surrounding the development site is mainly composed of wetlands and natural vegetation to the east, west
and south. The property owner will be required to submit a wetland delineation and tree removal plan as part
of the permitting process. The overall development consists of the installation of a 6-8’ tall black chain link
fence with barbed wire and an electric entryway gate. The 7-acre storage area would be able to store up to a
maximum of 140 full-sized semi tractor trailers, recreational vehicles, or boats.
CITYY OFF MCHENRYY ORDINANCESS
•The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Use Variances, listed in §11-19-6 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance

SSTAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The subject property is currently zoned C-5 Highway Commercial District and is surrounded by other C-5 zoned
properties to the north, townhomes and single family residential to the northeast located in incorporated
Johnsburg, unincorporated agriculture farmhouses to the east, and FAP-420 to the south. The area
surrounding the 7-acre project site consists primarily of wetlands and mature trees. The primary concern for
outdoor storage land use is aesthetics and screening. Staff believes the outdoor storage area would be heavily
screened from view of the adjoining property owners given the existing natural vegetation. (see below photo)
Staff have included as a condition of approval that the property owner shall be responsible for maintaining the
natural screening of the site from view as determined by the Zoning Administrator. Overall, staff does not
anticipate that the proposed use would generate any adverse impacts on the adjoining property owners.
Figure 1 - view southwest from the adjoining townhome subdivision.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Future Land Use Map identifies this property as an environmental corridor with wetlands in addition to
Business Park land use. The proposed use of the farmed area while preserving the wetlands is somewhat
consistent with the intent of the Future Land Use Map.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan objectives
and policies. Staff comments italicized.
View full list of City Plans at www.cityofmchenry.org/planningdocuments
x Land Use, Objective – “Allow a mixture of land uses in appropriate areas to promote responsible
growth while providing a high quality of life to the residents.” (p. 27)
Staff believes the proposed use of the property will provide a service that is greatly needed in the City of
McHenry. Most storage facilities in the City do not offer outdoor storage space. Additionally, the City
has seen an increase in unlawful overnight parking of commercial trucks. Approval of the request
potentially could help alleviate unlawful overnight truck parking in the City. Staff believes approval of
185
the request would be supportive of providing a high quality of life to residents by providing additional
recreational and commercial vehicle storage.
x Land Use, Policy – “Locate intense commercial and office uses where they will not negatively affect
residential or open space uses.” (p. 27)
The subject property is heavily screened from view. Staff believes the proposed commercial use would
have minimum visibility from the adjoining residential properties. Overall staff believes approval of the
request would not negatively affect the residential or open space uses.
x Natural Resources, Policy – “Development shall fit into the natural landscape and mass
stripping/leveling of sites shall be discouraged.” (p. 58)
The proposed development takes advantage of the natural resources in the area by limited construction
to mostly in the farmed area. Overall, staff believes the site plan is supportive of fitting into the natural
landscape within the vicinity of the property.
SSITEE PLANN ANALYSISS
x Fencing.The petitioner is proposing a 6-8ft tall chain-link fence with barbed wire.
x Landscaping & Screening. The petitioner is proposing to screen the site from view utilizing the existing
natural tree line. Staff have included as a condition of approval that the petitioner shall be required to
maintain the natural screening to the greatest extent possible or screen the 7-acre site from view with
an appropriate substitute as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
x Entrance. The petitioner has received approval of a site access easement from the Shops at the Fox
River commercial center to allow truck traffic to enter the site along the back outskirts of the property.
The entrance to the site would also have an electronic gate.
186
SSTAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS
x The 7-acre project area is heavily screened from view of the adjoining property owners by an existing
wetland and natural tree line. Staff believes the visibility of the site to be limited given the existing
natural screening. Staff have included a condition of approval requiring the petitioner to maintain the
natural screening of the property to the greatest extent possible.
x The Future Land Use Map recommends this site for a Business Park mixed in with an environmental
corridor. As such, the Comprehensive Plan recommends that any development take advantage of
buildable area while minimizing any negative impact on natural resources. The proposed 7-acre project
area is located on the farmland portion of the property while minimizing the impact on the existing
wetland.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following motion is
recommended:
MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Use Variation to allow the
Outdoor Storage of Automobiles, Recreational Vehicles, Trailers, and Equipment as the Principal Use of the
Subject Property, subject to the following conditions:
1. The Property Owner shall be required to maintain the natural landscape screening surrounding the 7-acre
project area to the greatest extent possible or screen the project area from view with an appropriate
substitute as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
2. All development on site shall be in substantial conformance with the submitted plans.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Use Variances have been met as outlined
in the staff report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR USE VARIANCES (§11-19-6) Comments of staff italicized below.
A. Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship: For reasons fully set forth in the written findings, the strict
application of the provisions of this title relating to the use of the buildings or structures, or the use of
the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from
mere inconvenience.
Staff believes the proposed use of the property is appropriate given the lack of visibility and
inaccessibility of the site to the public. The site is advantageous to support commercial outdoor rental
storage given this lack of access and the existing natural tree line screening the property from view.
Staff believes that denial of the request would place an undue hardship given these site constraints that
would typically not be supportive of a traditional retail commercial development.
B. Reasonable Return: The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under
the conditions allowed by the regulations in this title for the pertinent zoning district.
Staff believes the property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to only be used under the
conditions allowed by the regulations of the C-5 Highway Commercial District given the unique site
constraints related to overall accessibility and site visibility.
C. Unique Circumstance: Special circumstances, fully described in the written findings, exist that are
peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought and that they do not apply generally to
other properties in the same zoning district.
Staff does believe the request is under special circumstances uniquely for this property because the
property is located behind a commercial shopping center and between an unimproved right-of-way.
187
The site is heavily screened from view by the naturally occurring wetlands within the vicinity of the
project site.
D. Not Alter Local Character: The granting of the use 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.
Staff does not believe approval of the request will generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding
area given the level of natural screening provided by the adjacent wetland area.
E. Consistent With Title And Comprehensive Plan: The granting of a use variance will be in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of this title and of the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Staff believes the overall request is consistent with the Title and Comprehensive Plan by supporting
commercial development while minimizing the impact on the existing natural resources to the greatest
extent possible.
Attachments: 1) Petitioner’s Application and attachments. 2) Receipt of publication of legal notice.

Vantage Secure Storage
Vantage Secure Storage is a flexible solution for corporate and personal outdoor storage including semi-trucks,
fleet vehicles, trailer/containers, RV’s, boats, industrial and contractor equipment. Vantage Secure is situated
adjacent to IL Route 31 and encompasses overseven acresof surface storage area. Vantage will offer a seamless
and secure service through the utilization of cutting-edge technology including secured chain link enclosure,
high-efficiency perimeter lighting and an electronically-controlled keypad access with personalized online
interface.
Convenience, security and accessibility are key elements to what Vantage Secure will offer as flexible storage
solutions for individuals and businesses throughout McHenry County.
196
Semi-Truck Parking
Vantage Secure is an excellent solution for corporate and independent semi-truck owners looking to park their
vehicles long term. The facility will provide outdoor semi parking options for a variety of truck sizes and storage
solutions. The facility will have flexible capacity for up to 140 full-sized semi tractor trailers.
x Companies in McHenry County that specialize in trucking and distribution require a large area of hard-
surfaced parking and storage space for their trucks and trailers. In many cases this demand requires off-
site storage facilities. A variety of lengths are provided to accommodate a range of different-sized trucks.
Trucking and Distribution companies will be a primary target market for Vantage Secure.
x Protection from theft, damage, liability, and vandalism will include a secure perimeter and lighting. Tenants
are also given individualized access codes to enter or exit the property through the controlled-access gate.
x Independent and corporate truck operators are
faced with parking restrictions and regulations
on public roads and on private property. Living
in McHenry County can include restricted
parking presenting challenges to parking a
large vehicle such as a semi-truck.
x Municipalities and homeowner associations
may have weight restrictions or other rules
prohibiting parking a semi-truck on driveways.
Rarely are semis allowed to be parked in the
street or driveway of any residential
neighborhood for an extended period.
197
Trailer/Container Storage
For many businesses, storage trailers and containers provide a more flexible and cost-efficient storage option
than going through the process of acquiring and investing in additional warehouse space. Renting or utilizing
storage trailers and containers are the perfect solution for businesses that are affected by seasonal fluctuations
in inventory. Businesses can’t easily expand their warehouse space to accommodate inventory for the holidays
without going through the costly and time-consuming process of acquiring additional warehouse or shop space.
Storage of containers/trailers are ideal for static storage at commercial and industrial locations. Easily
transportable and accessible, trailers and containers can be a critical solution for companies in need of
temporary product storage.
Equipment Storage/Parking
In addition to truck parking, Vantage Secure will
provide storage for corporate equipment and fleet
vehicles in active use and longer-term storage. Local
and regional contractors have vehicles and trailered
equipment that may or may not be utilized every day
that require parking. Service companies with a large
inventory of vehicles and equipment face the same
storage challenges as trucking and distribution
providers. These types of vehicles, trailers and
equipment require a great deal of surface parking that
a company may not have room for at their own
location. Typically, employees that operate this
equipment do not park vehicles at their homes but
rather bring them back to their place of business or a
storage facility such as Vantage Secure to ensure
secure care of their investment.
198
The purpose of fleet management for any organization
is to maximize the efficiency of the vehicles or
equipment it owns and operates. Maximizing the
efficiency of any organization's asset often directly
equates to increased productivity and overall safety for
the vehicle drivers and equipment operators. Short term
and long-term storage are critically essential to the
success ofmany industries throughout McHenry County.
Professionally operated, well-located, secure facilities
are in high demand, but scarce due to lack of available
land and zoning.
RV & Boat Storage
Vantage Secure offers outdoor space for most RV and boat sizes. Our spaces can accommodate over 50 feet in
length this is ideal for RVs and boats too large for enclosed storage units, eliminating the concerns of navigating
through small entryways or limited height dimensions. Vantage Secure will accommodate motor homes,
campers boats providing safe and secure options for storing recreational vehicles when not in use. Vantage
Secure will cater to individual owners as well as dealers and/or marina operators.
Storage spaces are designed for all
styles of motorhomes, including
Class A, camper vans, towable
campers, or truck campers. Class A
motorhomes are similar in size to a
large bus and average 33 feet in
length. Camper vans can range in
size between a standard van and
RVs of 20 to 25 feet long. Vantage
Secure understand the need for
multiple parking spaces to store a
variety of vehicles so our outdoor
spaces provide plenty of room for
many tow-behind campers, such
as teardrop campers, pop-up
campers, tiny trailers, and small
fifth-wheel trailers which may be
compact enough to fit within the
rented area of an RV parking space
ensuring all tenants property is
adequately and efficiently secured
and stored.
199
Outdoor boat storage has many potential
advantages, including lower cost than indoor
storage and easy availability, especially if the boat is
sitting on its own trailer, however storage location
options may be limited and lacking security,
convenience and accessibility. Vantage Secure seeks
to address these concerns by offering a
professionally operated option for boat owners and
marina operators including a clean, fenced, well-lit
and secure facility. Access is secure and controlled
at the convenience of the tenant, whether to
transport or simply maintain their boat. McHenry is
located a number of popular boating areas, boat
launches and marinas, which make Vantage Secure
a strategically located storage option for boats or
virtually any size.
Site improvements will include a reinforced concrete entry drive, a crushed and recycled asphalt surface, chain
link perimeter fencing, electronic access gate surrounded by preserved wetlands, mature woodlands and storm
water management facilities. Adjacent to paved commercial access to IL Route 31 make Vantage Secure a great
outdoor storage asset for the community.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FOR: May 6, 2024 City Council Meeting
FROM: Cody Sheriff, City Planner
RE: Ordinance granting a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly Use
(Church/Banquet Facility) and Use Variances to allow rental storage space (mini-
warehouse), commercial office and kitchen space, and Zoning Variations to
accommodate the existing principal and accessory structures.
ATT:
1. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated April 17, 2024
2. Ordinance granting a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly Use (Church/Banquet
Facility) and Use Variances to allow rental storage space (mini-warehouse), commercial
office and kitchen space, and Zoning Variations to accommodate the existing principal
and accessory structures.
3. Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Report & Petitioner’s Application Packet
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The petitioner, First United Methodist Church, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use
Permit to accommodate the existing Assembly Use (Church/Banquet Facility), Use Variations to
allow rental storage space (mini-warehouse), commercial office and kitchen space, and Zoning
Variations to accommodate the existing principal and accessory structures. The site has
operated as a church for over 150 years and predates the incorporation of the City of McHenry.
As such, a number of legal nonconformities exist, including encroachments within the required
setback along the street lot line as well as the existing use of the property as a church/banquet
facility. The petitioner is requesting approval of additional uses to help the church generate
additional income to help preserve the existing structure and maintain the principal use of the
property as a church. Staff have included several conditions of approval that would ensure the
principal use of the property remains a church/banquet facility and not a commercial business.
Being a nonprofit entity, the petitioner is also requesting approval of a waiver of the $950.00

application fee. The City has granted similar requests to other nonprofit organizations such as
Home of the Sparrow.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION:
A public hearing for the request was held on April 17, 2024. Overall, there was limited
discussion on the request. The Commission was largely in favor of the request so long as the
principal use of the structure remained a church/banquet facility and the approved uses
remained ancillary. The Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval.
If the City Council concurs, then two (2) separate motions are recommended: 1) A motion to
waive the Zoning Hearing Application Fee (City Council Vote, Simple-Majority); and 2) a motion
to approve an Ordinance granting a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly Use
(Church/Banquet Facility) and Use Variances to allow rental storage space (mini-warehouse),
commercial office and kitchen space, and Zoning Variations to accommodate the existing
principal and accessory structures.

File No. Z-2024-06
Petitioner: Pastor Kurt Gamlin of First United Methodist Church
Request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an Assembly Use (Church/Banquet Facility),
Use Variations to allow rental storage space (mini-warehouse), commercial office and kitchen
space, and any Zoning Variations Necessary to Accommodate the existing Principal and
Accessory Structures
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the file at 5:39 p.m. Planner Sheriff stated that all publication
requirements have been met. Pastor Gamlin and Lynn Schnelker were sworn in. Ms. Schnelker
stated that the church has been around as long as the City, and they are just trying to bring
things up to date. Planner Sheriff stated that the church predates the City of McHenry and the
zoning ordinances. They are requesting additional abilities to get more funding sources for the
church. They are looking to allow rental storage within the church structure itself. They also
already have a kitchen, so operating a commercial kitchen should not cause any adverse
impacts to the area. Given the longevity of the use, Staff has no objections to the request
subject to the conditions of approval.
Chairwoman Rockweiler asked if providing rental storage would impact the functions of the
usage of a church. It was explained that this use variance would only allow the storage if the
church was being used as a church.
The public hearing for file Z-2024-06 was opened at 5:45 p.m. With nobody wishing to speak,
the hearing was closed at 5:45 p.m. No members of the Planning & Zoning Commission had any
issues with the request.

Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY
The petitioner, Pastor Kurt Gamlin of First United Methodist Church, is requesting the following zoning
approvals for the continued operation of a church at 3717 Main Street:
1. Request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an Assembly Use (Church/Banquet Facility)
2. Request for Use Variation(s) to allow:
a. Rental Storage Space (mini-warehouse)
b. Commercial Office and Kitchen Space
3. Request for Zoning Variations to accommodate the existing principal and accessory structures.
The subject property has operated as First United Methodist Church for over 150 years. This would pre-date
the incorporation of the City of McHenry. As such, the church property and associated church operations pre-
date all Zoning Ordinances adopted by the City of McHenry and is considered legal nonconforming. The
principal structure also appears to have a nonconforming setback. Staff advised the petitioner to also request
blanket zoning variations to accommodate all existing structures.
The petitioner is also requesting approval of Use Variations to allow rental storage space (mini-warehouse)
and commercial office and kitchen space. The church already has an existing commercial kitchen which could
be utilized for certain commercial cooking purposes if needed. The petitioner desires to have the flexibility to
allow these uses as a means of generating income in order to help preserve the historic church.

CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Conditional Uses, listed in §11-15-5 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance.
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Use Variances, listed in §11-19-6 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance

Zoning Ordinance
STAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The subject property is currently zoned RS-4 High Density Single-Family Residential District and has been
utilized as a church since 1859. The surrounding land use also primarily consists of RS-4 district zoning with
single-family residential land use. Given the longevity of the use of the property as a church, staff does not
anticipate any adverse impacts on the surrounding property owners for the request to continue to allow the
existing church/banquet facility operations.
The petitioner is requesting additional uses to allow for income generation such as rental storage space, and
commercial office and kitchen space. The primary concern is how the proposed use(s) would interact with the
surrounding residential land use. Rental storage space is typically low impact compared to most commercial
uses and should generate minimal traffic. Staff also believes that commercial office and kitchen space would
also be relatively low impact on the surrounding residential properties.
However, another concern of staff would be the establishment of a precedent. Given the historical nature of
the site, staff would argue that approval of the request is specifically unique to this property and this property
alone because of its longevity of operations and cultural significance of the building. Staff is still
recommending several conditions of approval in order to accommodate the petitioner’s request: 1) all
approved commercial uses shall remain ancillary to the principal use of the property as a church/banquet
facility, and 2) all commercial deliveries shall be conducted in the south parking lot.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Future Land Use Map identifies this property as medium-density residential. The proposed assembly use is
allowed subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. However, the remaining requests for commercial
uses are not in conformance with the Future Land Use Map Recommendation.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is somewhat consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan
objectives and policies. Staff comments italicized.
View full list of City Plans at www.cityofmchenry.org/planningdocuments
• Neighborhood Character, Policy: "Develop mechanisms to allow for residential adaptive reuse in
existing neighborhoods." (p. 49)
The petitioner’s request is not supportive of allowing residential adaptive reuse within existing
neighborhoods. The Commission will need to consider whether the uniqueness of the site and the
benefits gained to the community outweigh the specific recommendation by the Comprehensive Plan
for residential adaptive reuse.
219
• Neighborhood Character, Policy: "Promote preservation and restoration of historic structures." (p. 49)
Staff would argue that the petitioner’s request is in favor of promoting preservation and use of historic
structures. Although it is not adaptively repurposing the structure into residential, there is cultural and
community value in promoting authentic use of historic structures. The site has uniquely operated as an
assembly-type use for over 150 years and served as a meeting place for a variety of nonprofit
organizations.
• Land Use, Policy – “Locate intense commercial and office uses where they will not negatively affect
residential or open space uses.” (p. 27)
The subject property has operated as an assembly-use and banquet facility for over 150 years. Staff
does not believe approval of the petitioner’s request for commercial storage, office, and kitchen space
would generate any adverse impacts greater than the existing church and banquet operations.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
• Legal Nonconforming Setbacks. The existing church appears to be within a few feet of the Center
Street Lot Line as well as Main Street. The parking lot also does not conform with setback requirements
adjacent to the residential building. The property owner did not have a copy of the plat of survey to
determine the exact setback. As such, staff recommended blanket zoning variations to accommodate
all existing structures under the condition that the property owner provide the City a Plat of Survey
within 6 months of approval.
STAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS
• Overall, staff believes the request is somewhat consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Approval of
the request(s) would be supportive of preserving existing historic structures; however, it would not be
supportive of adaptive residential reuse. The Commission should weigh the merit of the request based
220
on the historical significance of the building and the overall goals and objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the City.
• Staff does not believe granting the site approvals for additional uses would establish a precedent for all
churches. The site has operated for over 150 years as a church and approval of the request would be
supportive of preserving the existing structure and historic operations primarily as a church facility.
Staff have included a condition of approval that the site’s principal use shall remain an assembly-use
(church/banquet facility) while the commercial uses granted shall remain ancillary.
• The Church was constructed prior to the incorporation of the City of McHenry and therefore predates
all established development ordinances. Staff does not believe approval of the requested zoning
variation to accommodate all existing principal and accessory structures would generate any adverse
impacts on the surrounding property owners. Staff have added as a condition of approval that the
property owner shall provide the City with a plat of survey within 6 months of approval.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following three (3)
motions are recommended:
1st MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit
to allow an assembly use for the operation of a church/banquet facility.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Conditional Uses have been met as
outlined in the staff report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR CONDITIONAL USES (§11-15-5). Staff comments italicized below.
A. Traffic: Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the zoning
district has been minimized.
Staff believes there is adequate traffic infrastructure in place to service the development. The site has
operated as a church/banquet facility for over 150 years.
B. Environmental Nuisance: Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste disposal, blockage of
light or air, or other adverse environmental effects of a type or degree not characteristic of
permitted uses in the zoning district, have been appropriately controlled.
Staff does not believe the proposed request would generate any environmental nuisances.
C. Neighborhood Character: The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or
manmade character of its surroundings, and with permitted uses in the zoning district. The use will
not have undue deleterious effect on the environmental quality, property values, or neighborhood
character already existing in the area or normally associated with permitted uses in the district.
The church has operated in the area for over 150 years. Staff believes approval of the request would not
be out of character of the area given the longevity of the use of the property as a church/banquet
facility.
D. Public Services and Facilities: The proposed use will not require existing community facilities or
services to a degree disproportionate to that normally expected of permitted uses in the district, nor
generate disproportionate demand for new services or facilities, in such a way as to place undue
burdens upon existing development in the area.
The site is currently serviced by city water and sanitary sewer.
E. Public Safety and Health: The proposed use will not be detrimental to the safety or health of the
employees, patrons, or visitors associated with the use nor of the general public in the vicinity.
Staff believes the proposed use would not endanger local public health and safety within the vicinity of
the subject property.
F. Other Factors: The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility pertinent to
the conditional use and its particular location.
221
2nd MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Use Variation to allow
rental storage space (mini-warehouse), and commercial office and kitchen space subject to the following
conditions:
1. The use of the property for rental storage space (mini-warehouse), and commercial office and kitchen
space shall remain ancillary to the principal use of the property as an assembly use.
2. All commercial deliveries servicing said commercial uses shall be conducted in the south parking lot.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Use Variances have been met as outlined
in the staff report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR USE VARIANCES (§11-19-6) Comments of staff italicized below.
A. Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship: For reasons fully set forth in the written findings, the strict
application of the provisions of this title relating to the use of the buildings or structures, or the use of
the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from
mere inconvenience.
Staff believes that there is a particular hardship in maintaining large historic church structures.
Allowing for additional forms of income would help maintain and preserve the use of the historic
building.
B. Reasonable Return: The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under
the conditions allowed by the regulations in this title for the pertinent zoning district.
N/A
C. Unique Circumstance: Special circumstances, fully described in the written findings, exist that are
peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought and that they do not apply generally to
other properties in the same zoning district.
Staff does believe the request is under special circumstances uniquely for this property because the
property has operated as a church for over 150 years. Staff believes this request would not apply to
other property in this zoning district because of the longevity of the use of the property as a church for
150 years as opposed to a single-family residence.
D. Not Alter Local Character: The granting of the use 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.
Staff does not believe that approval of the request would alter local character given the longevity of
operations of the site as an assembly use. The requested Use Variances for storage, and commercial
office and kitchen space would generate less traffic than the principal use.
E. Consistent With Title And Comprehensive Plan: The granting of a use variance will be in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of this title and of the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Staff believes the overall request is mostly consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of supporting the
preservation and use of historic structures.
222
3rd MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the petitioner’s request for any zoning variations
necessary to accommodate the existing principal and accessory structures subject to the condition that the
property owner shall provide a plat of survey of the subject property within 6 months of approval by City
Council.
AND by making said motion, I agree that the approval criteria for Variances have been met as outlined in the
staff report.
VARIANCE APPROVAL CRITERIA (§11-19-5). Comments of staff italicized below.
A. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere.
Staff believes this is a special circumstance related to the construction of the existing church that
predates the incorporation of the City of McHenry.
B. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only.
Staff believes this is a special circumstance as it relates to this property only and not all property within
the RS-4 High Density Single Family Residential District.
C. Not Resulting From Applicant Action.
The church predates the City of McHenry. The structure therefore would have been built prior to the
adoption of any building regulations and not resulting from applicant action.
D. Unnecessary Hardship.
Staff believes if the city enforces the ordinance that it would cause undue hardship upon the petitioner.
E. Preserves Rights Conferred By District:
Staff believes this does not confer a special privilege for the subject property.
F. Necessary For Use Of Property:
Staff believes that approval of the variations are necessary for the reasonable use and enjoyment of the
property.
G. Not Alter Local Character:
The structure has been on site for over 150 years. Staff does not believe that approval of the request
would alter local character.
H. Consistent With Title And Plan:
Staff believes the proposed request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Development Policies
by supporting historic structures.
I. Minimum Variance Recommended:
Staff believes the variations requested are the minimum required.
Attachments: 1) Petitioner’s Application and attachments. 2) Receipt of publication of legal notice.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FOR: May 6, 2024 City Council Meeting
FROM: Cody Sheriff, City Planner
RE: Ordinance granting a Variance and Conditional Use Permit to allow an Open
Sales Lot at 4719 W Elm Street.
ATT:
1. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes dated April 17, 2024
2. Ordinance granting a Variance and Conditional Use Permit to allow an Open Sales Lot in
conjunction with Automotive Sales at 4719 W Elm Street.
3. Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Report & Petitioner’s Application Packet
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The petitioner, Tomasz Lemiszka, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow an
Open Sales Lot in conjunction with used automotive sales at 4719 W. Elm Street. The subject
property was previously occupied by a 2-story, mixed-use, residential, and commercial office
building but was demolished in 2014. The site was approved in 2018 for an Open Sales Lot for
used car sales but was subject to the condition that the property owner repave the existing
parking lot within 2 years of approval. This condition was not met and therefore the Conditional
Use Permit expired. The request also involves a variance from the City’s Fence Regulations to
allow a decorative wrought iron in appearance aluminum picket fence within the required front
yard setback.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATION:
A public hearing for the request was held on April 17, 2024. There were no objectors present at
the hearing. The Planning & Zoning Commission discussion was largely in favor of the request
given the proximity of the subject property to several other automobile dealerships. The
Commission also did not object to the petitioner’s variance request to accommodate the

proposed wrought-iron style picket fence location. The Planning & Zoning Commission

Unapproved Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes April 17, 2024
Petitioner: Thomasz Lemiszka
Request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an Open Sales Lot in conjunction with
Automotive Sales at 4719 W. Elm Street
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the file at 5:32 p.m. Planner Sheriff stated that all publication
requirements have been met. Mr. Lemiszka was sworn in and explained he wants to open a
used car lot at 4719 W Elm. Planner Sheriff explained that this is proposed to go at the corner of
Route 120 and Meadow Lane. It was approved previously in 2018 for the same use. They are
proposing to construct a fence on the property line which would encroach on the setback, but
that is an action for City Council. There are several other car dealerships nearby, so this use is in
harmony with the area, and Staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts to the property
owners. Automobiles would need to be stored on asphalt or concrete and not on the grass. The
landscape plan is shown but needs to be finalized with a couple of shrubs.
Commissioner Locke asked if they had other car dealership operations and the petitioner stated
this would be his first. He is not the property owner and expects to have 10-20 vehicles.
Commissioner Locke asked if the sign that exists would stay or be changed. The petitioner
explained that he would put up a sign, but the existing sign is not part of the property or
anything that he would be doing.
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the public hearing for File Z-2024-03 at 5:37. With nobody
wishing to speak, the hearing was closed at 5:37 p.m. All board members agreed that they
had no issues with the request, and with similar uses nearby and having this use being
previously approved at this location, there were no objections.
A motion was made by Commissioner Locke and seconded by Commissioner Riley to
recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an Open
Sales Lot in conjunction with automotive sales at the Subject Property, subject to the following
conditions:
1. The Property Owner shall maintain the display area in a neat and orderly manner as
determined by the Zoning Administrator.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: May 6, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: City of McHenry Summer Concerts at Miller Point
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY:
The City of McHenry completed a complete renovation of Miller Point Park in 2023. As a giveback
to the community, the City is proposing to host two Saturday night concerts in the amphitheater
on June 15th and on August 24th from 5-9pm each night. Food trucks would be present to support
the event and it is requested to allow alcohol throughout Miller Point Park on these evenings.
BACKGROUND:
Last year the City completed an extensive renovation to Miller Point Park. As way of thanking
the community and to the draw visitors to the downtown areas, it was mentioned that the City
should host some free concerts in the amphitheater along the river. The concept was discussed
extensively with an events committee. This committee includes individuals from the McHenry
Area Chamber of Commerce, The McHenry Riverwalk Foundation, Naturally McHenry County,
The Pearl Street Market, The Riverwalk Shoppes and city staff. Initial discussions were to try to
host one per month starting in June. However, after analyzing the summer event schedule, dates
on June 15th and August 24th were identified. July was a month filled with Fiesta Days events,
including use of Miller Point Park.
The concerts were proposed from 5-9pm as to minimally impact neighbors and to also create a
scenario in which visitors may come to the concerts and go to a local restaurant prior to seeing
the “main act” of the night. Each concert would have a smaller opening band from 5pm – 6:30pm
and a more regionally well-known main act from 7pm – 9pm.
The concerts would be supported by the presence of food trucks in the main park parking lot.
And lastly, it is requested that on these event evenings that alcohol be allowed throughout Miller
Point Park and its boundaries, similar to the Pearl Street Markets. Alcohol would be provided by
the on-site vendor, All Marine Retro Rentals.
ANALYSIS:
The free concerts serve a number of purposes starting first and foremost with a community
giveback. Alternately however, there is hope that the concerts bring visitors to the downtown
areas and restaurants and to the Riverwalk Shoppes. The concerts also bring some notoriety to
the venue from the Fox River and the significant boat traffic. It was important to accomplish this
252
while also not providing a negative impact for the neighbors. The 5-9pm timeframe was one that
the committee felt avoided any overly impactful burden.
The request for alcohol throughout Miller Point Park allows patrons to have a drink as they sit in
their chair and watch the concert or as they walk through the shoppes and then return to the
listen to the music. Once again this is a common practice for any number of the events hosted
in parks, such as Music Sundays, Pearl Street Market, Fiesta Days and Bands, Brews and BBQs.
The concerts will be funded by the City of McHenry through money that was approved for special
events in the FY 2024/25 budget that was recently approved.
The concerts will also be supported by the McHenry Riverwalk Foundation in assisting to manage
the grounds during the concerts.
If City Council concurs then a motion should be considered to approve the special use of
Miller Point Park by the City of McHenry to allow for bands, food trucks and the
consumption of alcohol throughout the grounds of Miller Point Park in conjunction with the
community concerts on June 15th and August 24th from 5pm – 9pm.

Discussion Item
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ross Polerecky, Community Development Director
FOR: May 6th, 2024 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Permanent Easement Agreement for the installation and use of an irrigating
well on city owned property.
ATT: Plat of Easement, Agreement
Agenda Item Summary: City staff has been approached by the Olde Mill Ponds Homeowners
Association (HOA) asking to install a high capacity well on a city owned parcel within Olde Mill
Ponds. City Council discussed this item at a previous council meeting and staff was directed to
work with the HOA on obtaining an easement that would allow them the use of the property.
Before you tonight is an agreement with the HOA for the use of the property.
Background: The Olde Mill Ponds subdivision was approved in 1996 and consists of 133 single
family homesites. This subdivision is unique, having a water feature on all 133 homesites. Some
homes sit on ponds while others have a meandering creek running through the rear yards. A
sophisticated systems of pumps and a well are needed to operate the water features. The
design involves a high capacity well and series of pumps that fill the ponds and keep the water
moving through the subdivision. About two years ago the well started to fail, leaving the ponds
almost empty and a dried-up creek. The HOA hired Marengo Well to investigate, and it was
found that the well has become full of sand and is no longer able to supply the amount of water
needed to keep the ponds and creek running as designed. The current well is located on a
private resident’s property and will need to be properly abandoned per the McHenry County
Department of Health. The HOA is looking to install a new well, and the best available spot is
on a vacant lot owned by the City of McHenry. Lot 106 is located at the intersection of Olde Mill
Lane and Spring Creek Lane. This lot was dedicated to the city when the subdivision was platted
for street, utility and bicycle path purposes. A power pole is located in an easement on the
property which would allow for power to the well.

Analysis: The attached agreement with the Olde Mill Ponds HOA would allow the city to retain
the property for a future connection to Petersen Park. The agreement also transfers the
maintenance obligations of the lot to the HOA. Maintenance obligations include but are not
limited to mowing of grass, landscaping and plantings.
If the City Council concurs, it is recommended that a motion be made to approve the attached
agreement to allow the Olde Mill Ponds Homeowners Association rights to an easement
located on lot 106 of the Olde Mill Ponds Subdivision. Said easement is for access and the
installation of a new irrigation well.
