CONSENT AGENDA
DATE:. January 18, 2016
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Deputy City Administrator
RE: 2016 Fiesta Days Request
ATT: 2016 Fiesta Days Schedule of Events
Special Event Liquor License Application
Sign Location List
BACKGROiTND: Following this report for the City Council's review and consideration is the schedule
A events for the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce 68 Annual Fiesta Days. The Chamber is
requesting permission to host events in Petersen and Veterans Memorial Parks and to utilize the services
of the Parks, Police, and Public Works departments to provide various services for the events. Fiesta
Days events will be held at various times beginning Friday, July 15t', and conclude with the parade on
Sunday, July 24h, as presented in the schedule of events.
Conditioned upon approval of the Fiesta Days schedule, the Chamber is requesting a special event liquor
license to serve beer and wine in Petersen Park on Friday, July 15, Saturday, July 16, Sunday, July 17,
and in Veterans Memorial Park on Thursday, July 21. Every effort will be made by the Chamber to
ensure that underage visitors will not be served alcoholic beverages and I.D. wristbands will be required
to purchase alcohol.
The Chamber is also requesting permission to serve beer and wine on July 15 and July 16 an extra 10
minutes to 10:55 PM. As in past years, staff does not support this request. Staff recommends the
standardize service timeframe be observed for all events of this nature; beer/wine ticket sales to cease
one-half hour prior to close of the event and service will be prohibited 15-minutes prior to close of the
event as depicted in the following schedule.
Petersen Park
Veterans Memorial Park
Friday, July 15 5:00 PM -10:45 PM
Thursday, July 21 5:00 PM — 8:45 PM
Saturday, July 16 3:30 PM 40:45 PM
Sunday, July 17 11:00 AM — 8:45 PM
The Chamber is requesting permission to place 24" round signs advertising Fiesta Days in right -of --ways
in front of local sponsor businesses. Signs would be installed the week before the event and removed the
following day. A list of proposed sign locations follows this report.
ANALYSIS: Fiesta Days is arguably the best festival in McHenry County. It is also one of the biggest
and offers something for everyone over the course of the 10 day festival. It continually draws thousands
of visitors to the city and would not be possible without the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce,
countless volunteers, and the City of McHenry.
In 20135 the City Council approved a revised fee structure with the Chamber as it relates to the Music Fest
weekend in Petersen Park, which requires the Chamber to pay 50% of all city manpower costs associated
with the typical Friday through Sunday Music Fest event schedule. Staff recommends this fee structure
remain in place for 2016. If there are requests or staffing requirements above and beyond the typical
Festival then those are to be paid at 100%.
If City Council concurs then a motion should be considered to a) accept the McHenry Area
Chamber of Commerce's 68'h annual Fiesta Days event schedule; b) use of Parks, Police, and Public
Works for various services related to the event, c) approve the special event liquor license; d)
approve the placement of temporary advertising signs; and e) consider staffs recommendation to
deny the Chamber's request to serve alcohol an extra 10 minutes on Friday, July 151h and Saturday,
July 16`h as presented.

PRESENTATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2014/2015 ANNUAL FINANCE REPORT CONDUCTED BY EDER
CASELLA CO.
City Administrator Morefield introduced Mr. John Albanese and Mr. Kevin Smith of Eder,
Casella & Co.
Mr. Albanese provided a brief outline of the Annual Financial Report for the year ending
April 30, 2015. He noted that the completion of the audit was extended this year because of
new Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) regulations requiring that the actuarial
report be finished prior to the finalization of the audit. Mr. Albanese stated that the audit
document includes important information about the City of McHenry's result for 2014/2015
fiscal year and its current financial condition. Mr. Albanese informed Council that the General
Fund Balance includes the year end results and the total fund balance is $10,038,901, which is a
$1,486,343 increase over last fiscal year.
City Administrator Morefield noted that at the direction of the Finance and Personnel
Committee, Staff is in the process of developing a revised/expanded "Fund Balance and Reserve
Policy" to establish principles and parameters to which a Fund Balance target would be defined
at the beginning of each budget period that achieves the objectives of financial stability,
appropriate case flow for operations, and assurance that the City of McHenry would be able to
response to emergencies with fiscal strength. The Fund Balance and Reserve Policy would more
clearly delineate uses for the Unassigned Fund Balance — General Fund, which would include
Regular Meeting
Page 3
November 16, 2015
steps to be taken to correct fund balance deficiencies that may occur in the event unexpected
situations cause the City to fall below the minimum identified levels.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Curry regarding the timeliness of the Audit,
Mr. Albanese explained that the new standard (GASB 67) requiring police pension fund
disclosures caused some delay because it is new to everyone and requires a learning curve. Mr.
Albanese added next year, GASB 68 will be utilized requiring more detail on pension funds.
PUBLIC INPUT SESSION
Mr. Marion Metz, 3813 Waukegan Road, addressed Council. Mr. Metz stated that his
concerns are for children and fiscal responsibility. First, Mr. Metz expressed concern and
surprise that a gun range was being opened in such close proximity to a school. Second, Mr.
Metz stated that while the Council and Staff of the City of McHenry are doing a fine job the
State of Illinois is in a bad position. Mr. Metz exhibited some airline magazines obtained during
his travels that advertise the benefits of various States. He opined that the State of Illinois
appears not to be listening to the taxpayers and voters, but might listen to elected officials. Mr.
Metz informed Council that he has some ideas that might provide opportunities for the City of
McHenry and the State and to please contact him if there is any interest. Mr. Metz thanked
Council for the work they do, their time and attention.

MOTION TO GRANT A FENCE VARIANCE FROM THE CORNER SIDE YARD SETBACK HEIGHT
REQUIREMENT, FROM 48" TO 72 It FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2618 WALL STREET
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that the owners of the property at 2618
Wall Street, Robert and Roberta Rakoczy, submitted an application to erect a six foot (72")
fence along the side yard facing Hillside Lane. City Administrator Morefield stated that while it
is apparently, according to the Plat of Survey, a corner side yard, by definition of the Zoning
Ordinance, it is actually defined as a front yard because it is the smaller/shorter of the two
roadway frontages. The Municipal Code states that fences located in the front yard may not be
higher than 42" and, therefore, a variance is required to allow for the installation of the
proposed 72" fence. In accordance with the fence variance procedures, the applicant submitted
a completed "Abutting Property Owner/Current Resident Fence Variance Notification" verifying
that the abutting and/or adjacent property owners have been notified.
Staff has inspected the site and submits the proposed fence will not create line -of -sight
issues. Staff believes the proposed 72" fence, as proposed, would be more aesthetically
pleasing, practical and appropriate. Staff noted that no variance is being requested for the
required setbacks, only the height of the fence.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Curry, Director of Economic Development
Martin stated that the property fronts on Hillside and that no negative input has been received
from any of the neighboring properties.
Motion by Curry, second by Wimmer, granting a fence variance from the corner side
yard setback height requirement, from 42" to 72", for the property located at 2618 Wall Street,
McHenry, Illinois, as presented.
Voting Aye: Santi, Glab, Curry, Schaefer, Wimmer, Peterson, Condon.

Motion carried.
MOTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION SETTING THE PROPERTY TAX LEVY REQUEST FOR 2015
(COLLECTED IN 2016) AT $4,761,635; AND ESTABLISH THE DATE OF DECEMBER 7, 2015, AS
THE DATE TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE PROPERTY TAX
LEVY
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that approximately 82.8% of the Fiscal
Year 2015/2016 budgeted General Fund Revenues are derived from Sales Tax, Income Tax and
Property Tax receipts with the remaining approximate 17.2% coming from other miscellaneous
sources (i.e., intergovernmental taxes, grants, franchise fees, licenses and permits, fines and
forfeitures and charges for services).
Despite the fact that as a "Home Rule" community the City of McHenry is no longer
subject to the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL), which limits increases to
Regular Meeting
Page 5
November 16, 2015
residents' property taxes by preventing a local government's property tax levy from growing at
a faster pace than the rate of inflation, of 5%, whichever is less, the City of McHenry has
continued to follow PTEIL for establishing the property tax levy. Over the past four years,
(2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014), the City has chosen to maintain a flat property tax levy request at
the amount requested in 2010.
City Administrator Morefield noted that the entirety of the General Fund Balance is
currently identified as "Unassigned." The City continues to face a multitude of economic
uncertainties and challenges at the local and state levels. In an effort to account for this the City
Administration is in the process of updating the Fund Balance and Reserve Policy for
consideration and adoption by Council in order to establish a defined planned use of the
existing and future General Fund Balance. City Administrator Morefield advised Council that the
policy document would be presented as part of the Fiscal Year 2016/2017 Budget development
process.
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that annually, prior to the end of the
calendar year, the City of McHenry must provide the amounts required for the property tax
levy, so the funds generated through the revenue mechanism will become available during the
next municipal fiscal year. The levy request must be approved by the City Council and
submitted to the McHenry County Clerk by the last Tuesday in December (the 29th of December
in 2015). City Administrator Morefield noted that with this date in mind, Staff is seeking
approval of the 2015 Property Tax Resolution indicating the levy amount and Public Hearing for
December 7, 2015. Upon adoption of the Resolution, the Property Tax Public Hearing and
consideration/adoption of the levy amount will take place at the December 7, 2015 City Council
meeting.
City Administrator Morefield noted that change in the EAV (Equalized Assessed Value)
also drives changes in the property tax bill. When the EAV declines the tax rates must go up in
order to fully fund the property tax levy because the same amount of money needs to be
collected across the new lower values. The increase is reflective of the proposed municipal rate
increase and the potential EAV decline, but does not take into consideration actions taken by
the other taxing jurisdictions that comprise the total property tax bill. City Administrator
Morefield stated that in 2015, the portion of a resident's tax bill directed to the City of McHenry
was only 6.7% of the total amount.
Alderman Curry opined that he is pleased to see the flat tax levy in the City of McHenry.
Alderman Santi concurred with Alderman Curry.
Alderman Santi expressed surprise at the amount for allocated for streets and inquired
about eligibility for state or federal funding. Director of Public Works Schmitt, responding to
Alderman Santi's inquiry, stated that the entire expense is for resurfacing, which is not entitled
to funding.

MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR'S EXECUTION OF AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF MCHENRY AND MCHENRY COUNTRY CLUB, FOR THE PURCHASE OF A 1,593
SQUARE FOOT PERPETUAL UTILITY EASEMENT, IN THE AMOUNT OF $60,464; AND GRANTING
USE TO THE CITY OF TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS TO FACILITATE THE
CONVEYANCE OF SANITARY SEWER LINES TO THE SOUTH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that plans are complete for the
installation of a 24" forcemain to convey raw wastewater from the Central Wastewater
Treatment Plant (CWWTP) to the South Wastewater Treatment Plan (SWWTP). The conveyance
line sections required to complete the directional boring of the 24" forcemain include:
• Under the channel at the Riviera Marina;
• Across the first fairway and part of the parking lot at the McHenry Country Club to the
intersection of John Street and Riverstream Drive;
• Then south starting at the east end of Fairway Drive to the SWWTP.
An addition to the existing utility easement, purchased from the McHenry Country Club in 2010,
is required to soften the curve of the 24 forcemain into a directional bore pit northwest of the
existing parking lot. Temporary construction easements are required adjacent to John Street
and at the east end of Fairway Drive.
Representatives of the McHenry Country Club requested Staff and the City Engineer
investigate the installation of a parking lot as part of the 24" Forcemain Project as
compensation for the permanent utility easement and temporary construction easements. It
was determined that the engineer opinion of probably cost (EOPC) estimates the cost of the
parking lot (including a 20% contingency) would be $60, 464. City Administrator Morefield
informed Council that the McHenry Country Club Board opted to accept a payment of $60,464,
rather than the City constructing the parking lot as part of the 24" Forcemain Project.
Regular Meeting

November 16, 2015
City Administrator Morefield reiterated that at the November 2, 2015 City Council
meeting, Council tabled the matter rather than taking action, in order to incorporate specific
and clear language regarding easement restoration in the Easement Agreement. Based on this,
in amending the easement language it was identified that some additional specificity was
required in defining the easement areas and modifying the easement restoration language. City
Administrator Morefield informed Council that Exhibit A identified the easement area and
Exhibit B defines temporary construction easements needed for the forcemain project, which
are just east of Fairway Drive
Motion by Santi, second by Condon, approving the Mayor's execution of an Easement
Agreement between the City of McHenry and the McHenry Country Club, for the purchase of a

MOTION TO APPROVE THE SOLE -SOURCE PURCHASE OF FITNESS EQUIPMENT FOR THE
IACHENRY RECREATION CENTER FROM DIRECT FITNESS SOLUTIONS FOR THE AMOUNT OF
$282,835; AND AUTHORIZE A BUDGET AMENDMENT IN THE RECREATION CENTER FUND, FOR
THE AMOUNT OF $282,835
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that in implementing the McHenry
Recreation Center project during Fiscal Year 2015/2016, the purchase and/or leasing of fitness
equipment was purposefully deferred until such time as construction of the facility was nearing
completion and more in-depth research could be conducted by a Recreation Center Manager in
order to determine the best option for the Center. With the hiring of Matt LaPorte, as
Recreation Center Manager, earlier this year and the McHenry Recreation Center slated for
occupancy in February 2016, it is time to move forward with purchasing fitness equipment.
City Administrator Morefield introduced Deputy City Administrator Hobson. Deputy City
Administrator Hobson complimented Recreation Center Manager LaPorte on the outstanding
job he did in selection of the equipment deemed best for the City of McHenry. Deputy City
Administrator Hobson requested that Recreation Center Manager LaPorte provide Council with
information regarding the equipment since he did such a great job with the task assigned.
Manager LaPorte informed Council that in preparing the research for a fitness
equipment recommendation, Staff visited several recreation entities with similar sized facilities
or those that had recently purchased equipment. In addition, facility managers were
interviewed in an effort to obtain input regarding the process of obtaining equipment, technical
attributes of equipment selected and general recommendations. Following the
Regular Meeting
Page 8
November 16, 2015
recommendations of facility managers, sales representatives and Staffs experience in facility
management, Staff provided Council with a selection of cardio and strength equipment
ascertained to be best suited to the current and future fitness needs of the community
adhering to the current trends in fitness.
Manager LaPorte stated that upon conclusion of the research, Staff met with the sales
representatives from the top major fitness equipment vendors servicing Parks and Recreation
Departments/Park District agencies, including:
• Life Fitness;
• Precor/Freemotion (Direct Fitness Solutions);
• Matrix; and
• Cybex/Octane (Midwest Commercial Fitness).
The goal was to select equipment that matched the visually appealing nature of the new
Center, make an impression, was reliable and offered an investment in the latest technology.
After applying all of these criteria it was determined that the Precor/Freemotion line of fitness
equipment has the features best suited to the McHenry Recreation Center.
Manager LaPorte indicated that Staff feels the reliability, performance and technology
found in the Precor fitness lines; and the additional pieces sold through Direct Fitness Solutions
from Freemotion, Dynamic, SCkFIT, and Troy are the right selection for the new McHenry
Recreation Center. When considering the lines from the other companies; the Precor line had
the best technology, performance history, visual appeal and range of selection from one
vendor. Additionally, the purchase price was the lowest of the three price estimates
accumulated.
Manager LaPorte explained to Council that for the reasons indicated, the specific line of
equipment has been chosen, and as such, the specificity of the purchase would require it to be
a sole source purchase. A sole source purchase typically means that only one supplier is capable
of delivering the required product. Similar types of goods may exist, but only one supplier for
reasons of expertise, and/or standardization, quality, compatibility with existing equipment,
specifications, or availability, is the only source that is acceptable to meet a specific need.
Direct Fitness Solutions is the sole source dealer of Precor, Freemotion and Dynamic fitness
brands.
Deputy City Administrator Hobson stated that looking at the present and to the future,
Director Fitness has worked with Staff to partner with the City of McHenry to offer top of the
line equipment at a great rate.
Responding to an inquiry from Council, Manager LaPorte noted Staff also analyze
acquiring fitness equipment through a lease option. Each of the options provided created an
additional cost, which the Center would have to account for on an annual basis for as much as
$102,888 per year for a 3&months lease, down to $65,448 per year for a 60 months lease.
Regular Meeting
Page 9
November 16, 2015
Manager LaPorte explained that leasing options vary greatly depending on the overall amount
spent on equipment. Staff determined that the healthy status of the Recreation Center Fund
Worded the City the opportunity to purchase the equipment and eliminate the unnecessary
cost addition of leasing.
Alderman Schaefer stated that the matter has been discussed in detail at the Parks and
Recreation Committee level and he feels that purchasing the equipment is the right way to go.
Responding to Alderman Curry's inquiry regarding whether the on -screen advertising is
a revenue source, Manager LaPorte stated affirmatively. Alderman Curry inquired about
whether Staff had a feel for the ongoing maintenance of the equipment. Manager LaPorte
informed Council that there would be a 3-year warranty on the cardio equipment, the strength
equipment is mainly cable. The equipment has an anticipated life span of 7-10 years. Manager
LaPorte informed Council that the equipment would be cleaned daily and a lakannual
professional cleaning and maintenance would be enacted, likely extending the life of the
equipment.
Alderman Condon opined that she is excited to see the Recreation Center become a
reality.
Alderman Santi stated that the Recreation Center is a beautiful structure. Alderman
;anti expressed some concern that the technology of the equipment might change/upgrade
over a brief period of time. Manager LaPorte informed Council that the basic components of
the machine do not change and the software receives regular updates.
Manager LaPorte introduced Mike Munson, Regional Sales Manager for Direct Fitness
Solutions address Council. Mr. Munson informed Council that Precor updates the software
automatically to users/operators. Precor will train Staff in the use of the equipment and would
be happy to engage members with Open House events. Mr. Munson noted that the company is
located in Mundelein, which is near the City of McHenry and would be able to address any
issues or concerns quickly. Manager LaPorte added that the equipment is a uniform line and
that each console on the equipment comes with a tutorial.
Motion by Schaefer, second by Santi, approving the sole -source purchase of fitness
equipment for the McHenry Recreation Center from Direct Fitness Solutions, in the amount of
$282,835, and authorizing a budget amendment in the Recreation Center Fund, in the amount
of $282,835.

MOTION TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF IVICHENRY RECREATION
FURNITURE FROM THE FRANK COONEY COMPANY, FOR THE AMOUNT OF $76,462, AND
AUTHORIZE A BUDGET AMENDMENT IN THE RECREATION CENTER FUND, FOR THE AMOUNT
OF 76 462
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that within the overall budget for the
Recreation Center, the purchase of furniture was not included in the bid for construction, yet
the process was a part of FGM's assistance on the project. Through FGM's assistance and
numerous meetings with the Parks and Recreation Department Staff, a thorough list to
accommodate all the needs for the new facility and potential offerings was developed.
Staff proposes using two separate cooperative purchasing entities:
1. National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA); and
2. The Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN).
Using the two separate entities provides Staff the opportunity to use nationally and
competitively -bid contracts for this purchase. NCPA and TCPN are national governmental
purchasing cooperatives that offer competitively bid and awarded contracts with national
vendors for commonly purchased products and services allowing government entities to make
compliant purchases at a valued rate. Agencies in Illinois are permitted to use cooperative
purchasing contracts, such as NCPA and TCPN as an alternative to bidding per Chapter 5, Act
220, Section 2 and 3 concerning Intergovernmental Cooperation (5 ILCS 220/2 and 220/3). The
Governmental Joint Purchasing Act (30 ILCS 525) allows member agencies to legally purchase
through these contracts without duplicating its own competitive -bidding process and
requirements. The result of this cooperative effort is a high -quality selection of nationally -
leveraged, competitively -bid contract solutions to assist in meeting the ever changing needs of
current and future member agencies.
Based on the specific furniture selections and related contract, or bid price, under which
the selections are included, there are four separate components to the furniture purchase:
1. NCPA contract with Frank Cooney Company (No. 62794): $23,094.40
2. TCPN contract with Frank Cooney Company (No. 62794A). $39,866.10
3. Items not available on contract price under bid dollar
requirements - quotes provided by Frank Cooney Company
(No.62794B) $ 6,351.50
4 Installation of furniture and removal of garbage - quote by
Frank Cooney Company (No. 62794C) $ 7,150.00
$76,462.00
The total amount for furniture procurement and installation would be $76,462. City
Administrator Morefield noted that this amount is $8,538 less than the $85,000 line item
placed on the original budget for furniture. The proposed purchase would be made using funds
from the Recreation Center Fund.

Agreements for Fiscal Year 2015/2016, a budget amendment is required.
City Administrator Morefield addressed questions presented by Council concerning
certain aspects of the Incentive Agreements. City Administrator Morefield stated that by State

CITY OF MCHENRY MISSION STATEMENT

PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE CITY OF MCHENRY 2015 TAX LEVY
ORDINANCE, IN THE AMOUNT OF $4,761,635, REPRESENTING NO INCREASE ABOVE THE 2014
TAX LEVY EXTENSION; AND UPON CLOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDERATION AND
APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE 2015 TAX LEVY ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY OF
MCHENRY
Mayor Low opened the Public Hearing at 7:03 pm.
Mayor Low inquired if there were questions from Council. There were no questions
from Council.
City Administrator Morefield noted that the City of McHenry has not been able to yet
ascertain the Estimated Rate due to pending receipt of the necessary information from the
County of McHenry regarding the EAV, and without that information the rates cannot be
calculated.
City Administrator Morefield reiterated to Council that on November 16, 2015, Council
considered and approved a Resolution determining the Amount of Funds to be levied for the
2015 Tax Year through real estate taxes for the City of McHenry. The date of December 7, 2015
was set for the Public Haring and consideration of an Ordinance establishing such levy. While
not required to do so, the City of McHenry believes it is important to provide residents with the
opportunity to provide public comment on the proposed property tax levy. City Administrator
Morefield advised Council that an approved Tax Levy Ordinance must be filed by the last
Tuesday of December (December 29, 2015).
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that the City of McHenry has faced
numerous challenges during the last decade resulting in annual budgets that have relied on
substantial contributions from the General Fund Balance for the creation of a balanced budget.
However, during the last four years, higher than expected sales and income taxes, the
implementation of cost -reduction measures and a conservative approach to reinstating capital
improvements and capital equipment expenditures, the General Fund Balance has been
Regular Meeting
Page 2
December 7, 2015
increased from $2,511,330 in FY09/10 to $10,041,968 in FY14/15. City Administrator Morefield
noted that while the General Fund Balance is currently identified as "Unassigned," the City
continues to face a number of economic uncertainties and challenges at the local and state
levels that could conceivably reduce the amount significantly. City Administrator Morefield
stated that while the City of McHenry has maintained a flat levy it does not mean that
homeowners will not see an increase in their property tax bill. Change in EAV also drives a
change in the property tax bill together with actions taken by the other taxing jurisdictions,
which comprise the total property tax till. City Administrator Morefield informed Council that in
2014 the portion of a resident's tax bill direct to the City of McHenry was only 6/7% of the total
amount of the tax bill.
Alderman Wimmer opined that this is a good example of how fiscally responsible the
Staff of the City of McHenry has been, having kept the levy flat for the past five years.
Mayor Low inquired if there were any questions from the audience in attendance.
Mr. Craig Wilcox, 5908 Whiting Drive, McHenry, IL addressed Council. Mr. Wilcox stated
that he is a recent resident of the City of McHenry and appreciate the level of services the City
provides. He requested that as we go into 2016, Staff continues to look at expenditures and
perhaps find a way to reduce the levy.
Ms. Helen Rochelle, Lorient Drive, McHenry, IL addressed Council. Ms. Rochelle inquired
about the surplus in the General Fund and why it was required to be so high. Ms. Rochelle
stated that she appreciated that the levy remained flat. She opined that the taxes in McHenry
County and the State of Illinois are prohibitive.
Ms. Joyce Story, Leonard Avenue, McHenry, IL addressed Council. Ms. Story stated that
she appreciated the efforts of the Council and supports the levy remaining flat.
Alderman Glab stated that he is pleased the City of McHenry has been able to keep the
levy flat for five years and hopes other entities will follow suit.
Motion by Wimmer, second by Santi, to close the Public Hearing for consideration of the
City of McHenry 2015 Tax Levy Ordinance in the amount of $4,761,635, representing no
increase above the 2014 Tax Levy extension; and upon close of the Public Hearing consideration
and approval of an Ordinance adopting the 2015 Tax Levy Ordinance for the City of McHenry.

Director of Finance Lynch informed the Council that over the years the City of McHenry
has issued a variety of bonds that pledge various funding sources for repayment backed by the
fA faith and credit of the municipality. The Bond Ordinances require the County Clerk to levy
property taxes for the debt service required on the bonds, unless an abatement of the property
tax by the local municipality is approved and filed with the County Clerk. In structuring the
bonds in this manner it was the intent of the City to annually abate the taxes provided the
primary source of repayment is sufficient to cover the debt service requirement. Historically,
the primary source of repayment has been sufficient to cover the debt service and the property

tax has been abated. Projections show the revenue sources in the coming year will continue to
provide adequate coverage for debt service requirements, allowing the abatement of the
property tax.

what the refunding bonds had been originally issued for.

MOTION TO AWARD A FACADE IMPROVEMENT GRANT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3932
MAIN STREET, IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE MCHENRY LANDMARK
COMMISSION
Director of Economic Development Martin informed Council that the Fayade
Improvement Grant Program is available to owners of commercial buildings 50 years and older
for work which furthers the preservation of historic buildings in an effort to maintain the
original design/facade of the structure as much as possible. Director Martin outlined the basic
criteria for the program.
Director Martin informed Council that an application was submitted by the owners of
the building located at 3932 Main Street. The owners have applied for a Fayade Improvement
Grant to assist in paying for tuckpointing work, which has been completed. Although the Grant
was not guaranteed, the owners completed the renovation work in anticipation of the
impending winter season. The cost of the tuckpointing was $18,500. The owners of the
property plan on spending an additional $8,500 to complete painting on the exterior the
building.
Staff has ascertained that the applicants have performed major restorative work,
making the building more usable, promoting the structural and aesthetic integrity of the
building. The purpose of the Fagade Grant is to offset a portion of costs expended by property
owners, which furthers the preservation of historic buildings. Director Martin informed Council
Regular Meeting
Page 5
December 7, 2015
that the cost of work at the property located at 3932 Main Street will total approximately
$27,000, when completed.
Director Martin informed Council that the raga Grant applications are reviewed by
the Landmark Commission, which in turn makes a recommendation to the City Council. The
Landmark Commission considered this application on November 3, 2015, and unanimously
recommended awarding $3,000 to the applicants for the tuckpointing work done on the
structure at 3932 Main Street, which had been completed. Director Martin noted that $5,000 is
budgeted annually for Fagade Grants.
Alderman Condon opined that she is pleased to see business owners in the City

was pleased to see improvements made to the property.
Alderman Santi stated that he would support a larger amount budgeted annually to the

MOTION TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A USE VARIANCE TO HOME OF THE
SPARROW TO ALLOW A PARKING LOT AS A PRINCIPAL USE ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED ON
THE EAST SIDE OF RINGWOOD ROAD LOT 29 OF WESTSHORE BEACH SUBDIVISION
Director of Economic Development Martin informed Council that in 2008 the subject
property was rezoned from G1 Convenience Commercial to RS-3 Medium -High Density Single -
Family Residential. Variances were also granted to allow for the construction of two homes; to
allow multiple buildings (2 homes) on a single zoning lot and for a lot width along an arterial
street from 200 to 175 feet. Since that time the property has remained vacant.
Home of the Sparrow operates a facility on Ringwood Road, which is located in
unincorporated McHenry County, however they are connected to City sewer, but not City water
due to the distance of the water main, which lies to the south. Recently, Home of the Sparrow

December 7, 2015
completed an addition to their facility on Ringwood Road and was able to acquire the subject
property, located within the City of McHenry, and the two lots north of the subject property
and south of their facility. Due to the expansion of the facility, Home of the Sparrow would like
to construct additional parking and physically tie all the properties together. Parking lots are
only allowed by -right in residential zoning districts as accessory uses if the parking lot is
accessory to a permitted use in the district. In this case, all the adjacent lots are
unincorporated, therefore a Use Variance is required to allow a parking lot as a principal use.
Director Martin explained the criteria for a Use Variance.
Director Martin noted that there are no additional access points onto Ringwood Road
proposed, as the parking area proposed would be physically linked to the two vacant lots to the
north and the existing building. There is an existing access north of the subject property off of
Ringwood Road and the property can also be accessed from W. West Shore Drive. The parking
lot would be required to meet all applicable City Ordinances, including, but not limited to,
parking lot lighting, stormwater and screening. Staff has no concerns and support the request,
as presented. Director Martin informed Council that the Planning and Zoning Commission
unanimously recommended approval (5-0) to allow a parking lot as a principal use on the
subject property located on the east side of Ringwood Road (Lot 29) of the Westshore Beach
Subdivision in McHenry, IL, as presented by the applicant, Home of the Sparrow, subject to the
following conditions:
1. No additional access points onto Ringwood Road from the subject property are
permitted; and
2. Subject property shall be developed in substantial conformance with the site
plan submitted as part of the application packet and comply with applicable City
Ordinances.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Santi, Director Martin informed Council that no
engineering is required.
Motion by Wimmer, second by Condon, approving the Ordinance granting a Use
Variance to allow a parking lot as a principal use on the subject property located on the east
side of Ringwood Road (Lot 29) of the Westshore Beach Subdivision in McHenry, Illinois, as
presented by applicant Home of the Sparrow, subject to the following conditions:

Director of Economic Development Martin informed Council that the applicant currently

align with the existing building on the other three sides.

has been utilized for automobile sales for over half a century. The property also lies within the
West Route 120 Corridor Enhancement Initiative Area, which is bounded by Meadow Lane on
the east and Ringwood Road on the west. Sunnyside has been contemplating the expansion on
the north side of Elm Street for several years. The building expansion would allow Sunnyside to
acquire the Jeep Franchise and enhance an area of Route 120, which has been struggling. Staff
is extremely supportive of the proposed expansion and believes it will not have any adverse or
deleterious impacts on abutting properties. Staff has included in the recommendation
landscape improvements on both sides of Elm Street and a condition to ensure lighting and
glare is minimized to abutting residential on both sides of Elm Street.

MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR'S EXECUTION OF AN ECONOMIC INCENTIVE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MCHENRY AND SUNNYSIDE AUTO FINANCE COMPANY
Director of Economic Development Martin informed Council that Staff has been working
with Sunnyside Dodge (Sunnyside) for several years to assist in facilitating the expansion of
their current new vehicle showroom and service center at 4810 W. elm Street. The building
expansion at 4810 W. Elm Street will allow Sunnyside to acquire the Jeep Franchise and remain
at the location they have operated their business from for several decades. Acquiring the Jeep
Franchise is anticipated to increase Sunnyside's sales by approximately 4045%.
Staff has been negotiating a sales tax rebate agreement with Sunnyside. The purpose of
the rebate is to offset a portion of the costs which will be incurred, approximately $1,000,000,
to construct an approximately 3,870 square foot building expansion onto the existing 10,625
square foot building. The negotiated Economic Incentive Agreement between the City of
McHenry and Sunnyside Auto Finance Company establishes a threshold of $62,212, base sales
tax, which represents the average sales tax received by the City of McHenry from Sunnyside
over the past four years. Director Martin explained that a defined percentage within the
Agreement exceeding the base threshold amount would be rebated to Sunnyside for a twenty
year term, up to a maximum rebate of $300,000. It is estimated the City of McHenry will receive
an additional $25,000-$30,000 in sales tax revenue following Sunnyside's acquisition of the
Jeep Franchise and four to five positions will be filled following the completion of the proposed
expansion.
Director Martin explained that the proposed Incentive Agreement terminate on the
earlier to occur of: (a) the City's Maximum Total Payment to Sunnyside (5300,000); (b) the
Permanent Closure of Sunnyside prior to Sunnyside's receipt of the Maximum Total Payment;
or (c) the end of the twentieth revenue year (December 31, 2036). Director Martin reiterated
that the City of McHenry adopted an Economic Development Strategy in 2011, which set forth
the evaluation criteria by which requests such as sales tax rebates should be evaluated.
Additionally, in 2012 the Council adopted the West route 120 Corridor Enhancement Initiative,
which includes the area on Elm Street from Meadow Land on the east to Ringwood Road on the
west. Included within that program are "priority project," which are more desirable than
others. Motor vehicle dealerships (new or expansion of existing) are included as priority
projects.
Staff believes the proposed agreement is fair and mutually beneficial to the City of
McHenry and Sunnyside due to the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the area in
question.
Alderman Glab opined that economic incentives are an important component to the
City.
Motion by Santi, second by Glab, authorizing the Mayor's execution of an Economic
Incentive Agreement between the City of McHenry and Sunnyside Auto Finance Company.

MOTION TO ADOPT THE 2014 REVISED MCHENRY COUNTY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
ORDINANCE
City Administrator Morefield reiterated to Council that the McHenry County Board
adopted an Amended Stormwater Management Ordinance (SIVIO) on November 18, 2014. The
Amended Ordinance became effective December 1, 2014 and includes countywide standards
for regulated development. Many municipalities, such as the City of McHenry, are presently
certified by McHenry County to issue permits and enforce the provisions of the existing SMO. In
order to remain certified the City must adopt a new Ordinance that is at least as stringent as
the County's Amended SMO. Verification an updated Ordinance has been adopted must be
submitted to McHenry County no later than December 31, 2015. If verification is not submitted
by this date the City of McHenry may lose its ability to issue Stormwater Permits.
City Administrator Morefield noted that the amendment to the Ordinance are minimal
and consist mainly of inconsistencies in terms, definitions and regulatory standards. He stated
that the impact(s) of the amendments to the City of McHenry are minimal and should not
detract from the City's ability to continue to be responsive in reviewing Stormwater Permits.

Management Ordinance, as Amended on December 1, 2014.

1. THE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD PPO HRA AND HMO PLANS FOR HEALTH
COVERAGE DURING THE 2016 PLAN YEAR;
2. THE CURRENT IN-HOUSE DEDUCTIBLES FOR THE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD HRA
PLAN FOR THE 2016 PLAN YEAR:
3. THE BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD PPO DENTAL PLAN FOR THE 2016 PLAN YEAR;
AND
4. THE RENEWED VSP VISION COVERAGE PLAN FOR THE 2016 PLAN YEAR
Director of Human Resources Campanella informed the Council that the City has offered
employees the choice of three medical plans for the past six years, together with vision and
dental insurance.
Regular Meeting
Page 12
December 7, 2015
Director Campanella stated that annually the City Administration works through its
insurance broker to obtain the most competitive quotes using the existing plans as a base. Once
the quotes are received, the broker works on the City's behalf to negotiate the lowest possible
rates for the various insurance coverage options. The City Administration then reviews the
quotes submitted with the broker and conducts an analysis of various models and structures
the insurance plan. The Administration continues striving to balance the cost of health
insurance with the benefit to employees.
Health Insurance:
For the coming year, Staff is recommending approval of the BCBS PPO Plan. The HRA
Plan and the HMO Plan. During the 2016 plan year, the estimated total BCBS expenses will be
$2,145,686 (included in the total is $121,000 for the 100% excess deductible reimbursement on
the HRA Plan). As a point of reference, City Administrator Morefield noted that the City of
McHenry has been with BCBS of Illinois since 2009. This year the City of McHenry reduced the
renewal rate from over 13% in 2015 to 10% in 2016.
Dental Insurance:
The dental benefit currently offered to City employees is a BCBS Dental PPO Plan. The
Plan provides for in -network and out -of -network benefits. Staff obtained quotes from the
market for comparable dental PPO plans through the insurance broker. There is a minor
increase of $807 from the previous year. For the current plan year, Staff is recommending
remaining with BCBS PPO Plan.
Vision Insurance:
Vision Services Plan (VSP) provided a rate guarantee. The 2016 estimated total vision
premiums will be $11,226.96.
Director Campanella stated that the combined cost for Health, Dental and Vision
insurance for the 2015 plan year is $1,990,581.08. Additionally, the City will contribute
$674,000 towards Local 150 insurance.
Director Campanella informed Council that an "Opt Out" program was implemented in
2015. This Plan offered a cash incentive to employees who are able to waive health insurance
coverage and reduce the number of dependents on the Plan. The "Opt Out" Plan was
implemented at no additional cost to the City and it is estimated the "Opt Out" plan may save
the City as much as $75,000 annually.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Curry regarding why three plans are offered
when one of the plans appears to be rarely used, Director Campanella informed Council that
three different options are offered to provide employees with options that are competitive
while still remaining fiscally responsible.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FOR: January 18, 2016 Regular City Council Meeting
FROM: Douglas Martin, Director of Economic Development
RE: Use Variance to allow a restaurant with outdoor seating including service of food
and alcohol outside and use of a natural gas fire pit for the property located at
209 N Front Street
1. Location Maps
2. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission minutes dated December 16, 2015
Ordinance approving a Use Variance to allow a restaurant with outdoor seating including
service of food and alcohol outside and use of a natural gas fire pit forthe property located
at 209 Front Street
3. Application Packet
BACKGROUND: In 1999 a Conditional Use Permit was granted for a restaurant serving alcoholic
beverages at 209 N Front Street. At this time the building was utilized as a Polish Deli/Restaurant,
Truszkowski's Deli. In 2007 a Conditional Use Permit was approved for 209 Front Street to allow a
restaurant serving alcohol and outdoor seating, however the ordinance contained a provision
stating it would be null and void if the restaurant ceased operation for six consecutive months.
The property has been vacant for more than two years and the current zoning ordinance does not
require a conditional use permit be obtained to serve alcohol and does have provisions for outdoor
seating without obtaining a conditional use permit. However, the current applicant is required to
obtain a use variance because the proposed use for outdoor seating extends beyond what the
zoning ordinance permits through an administrative review and permitting process.

particular hardship; reasonable return; unique circumstances; not altering local character and
consistent with the comprehensive plan. The existing outdoor seating area was previously
established and enclosed by decorative fencing, with the primary ingress and egress from the
interior of the restaurant. The outdoor seating has been utilized as such in the past and the
natural gas fire pit is already in place and similar to the fire pit utilized in the outdoor seating area
in the parking area of the Village Squire.
Staff has no concerns with this request and believes the new business will be more of a
destination -oriented place than an impulse business, although being located on a major arterial
the location is ideal for either. The other locations the applicant is currently operating are unique
and their menu and craft beer selection will definitely draw people from adjacent towns and serve

selection. They also typically accommodate a good business crowd for lunch.
Director of Economic Development Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report
regarding this matter stating the subject property is zoned C-5 Highway Commercial District and
contains a vacant two-story 7,300 square foot building with 95 parking spaces, an outdoorseating
area enclosed by decorative fencing on the east side of the building and an approximately 3,000
square -foot accessory structure in the rear of the property (west of principal building), formerly
utilized as a smokehouse when Truskowski's Deli was operating their business on the subject
property. The most recent occupant of the property was Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant.
In 1999 a Conditional Use Permit was granted for a restaurant serving alcoholic beverages at 209 N
Front Street for the Polish Deli/Restaurant, Truszkowski's Deli, In 2007 a Conditional Use Permit
was approved for the property to allow a restaurant serving alcohol and outdoor seating, however
the ordinance contained a provision stating it would be null and void if the restaurant ceased
operation for six consecutive months.
The property has been vacant for more than two years and the current zoning ordinance does not
require a conditional use permit be obtained to serve alcohol and does have provisions for outdoor
seating without obtaining a conditional use permit. However, the current applicant is required to
obtain a use variance because the proposed use for outdoor seating extends beyond what the
zoning ordinance permits through an administrative review and permitting process.
The proposed use is ideally suited for the property. The applicant explained this will be their
seventh location with existing locations including: Roselle, Carol Stream, Bolingbrook, North
Aurora, New Lenox and one opening soon in Rolling Meadows. The applicant will do extensive
interior design renovation and outdoor cosmetic adjustments to tailor the building to their unique
brand.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated the outdoor seating regulations included in the
zoning ordinance which require the requested use variance are as follows:
g. Preparation and service of food outside is prohibited.
h. Service and consumption of alcohol outside is prohibited.
t. No electrical appliances or open flame devices shall be located or utilized within the
outdoor seating area however the use of "infrared -style" heaters is permitted in
accordance with any applicable testing organization (UL) or other listing and in accordance
with the manufacturer's specifications.

The existing outdoor seating area has already being fully established and is enclosed by decorative
fencing, with the primary ingress and egress from the interior of the restaurant. The outdoor

existing access off of Route 31 shall be required prior to occupancy.
and that Table 32(A) of the Zoning Ordinance has been met.
Chairman Strach invited questions and/or comments from the Commission.
Commissioner Meyer asked what the capacity of the restaurant will be. Mr. Marrin stated it is
unknown at this time but they will confer with the Fire Marshall to determine property capacity
regulations. Commissioner Doherty inquired if the layout of the restaurant would essentially
remain the same or what structural changes they are proposing. Mr. Marrin stated they intend to
follow a similar standard setup as is in their other locations and no drastic changes will be made.
Commissioner Doherty asked if they intend to use the old Smokehouse building in the rear. Mr.
Martin stated they do not plan to use that building at this time.

Bulldog Ale House at 209 Front Street will be the / location for
our rapidly growing restaurant and Ale House. The concept is geared
towards quality food, and an extensive craft beer menu. The atmosphere
inside our new location will be that of a local favorite but with a
pleasing aesthetic vibe. We intend to use the proposed patio seating as
we do at our other locations. This has been a large part of our business
plan, as it seems to be what many people in the Chicagoland area look
for when making a dining choice. Bulldog Ale House is also an avid
supporter of the local communities that we now call home, and is
looking forward to introducing a family favorite to the City of McHenry

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FOR: January 18, 2016 Regular City Council Meeting
FROM: Douglas Martin, Director of Economic Development
RE: Use Variance to allow outdoor storage of commercial vehicles in conjunction with
the operation of a mini warehouse facility, along with outdoor sale and storage of
bulk fuel for the property located at 2019 N Richmond Road
ATT:
1. Location Maps
2. Unapproved Planning and Zoning Commission minutes dated December 16, 2015
3. Ordinance approving a Use Variance to allow outdoor storage of commercial vehicles in
conjunction with the operation of a mini warehouse facility, along with outdoor sale and
storage of bulk fuel for the property located at 2019 N Richmond Road
4. Application Packet
BACKGROUND: The applicant, which is the real estate company associated with U-Haul, is seeking
to purchase the building formerly occupied by Wal-Mart located at 2019 N Richmond Road. They
are requesting a use variance to allow outdoor storage of commercial vehicles in conjunction with
the operation of a mini warehouse facility and outdoor sale and storage of bulk fuel at 2019 N
Richmond Road.
The 115,600 square -foot building was initially constructed in 1994 and vacated by Wal-Mart in
2010 following their move north to the Village of Johnsburg. The narrative included with the
application packet explains in detail U-Haul's proposed operation, business model, customer base
and benefit, which they bring to a community. A use variance is required because outdoor storage
of trucks for rent, mini warehouse facilities and bulk fuel sales are not permitted uses in the C-3
zoning district.
ANALYSIS: Use Variances must satisfy criteria based upon the following: practical difficulties or
particular hardship; reasonable return; unique circumstances; not altering local character and
consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed use will fill a vacant building, and the
assessed valuation of which has decreased by approximately 40% over the past two years.

Staff has met with representatives from U-Haul, which has a similar operation in Crystal Lake at
Northwest Highway and Route 31, and a newer store at Route 31 and 72 adjacent to Spring Hill
Mall in West Dundee. If purchased U-Haul would make substantial interior and exterior upgrades
to the building and site to promote its use and brand but also substantially increase the assessed
valuation of the property, fill a service need in the community, and draw customers from outside
of McHenry, which will most likely utilize other businesses located along this corridor and in the
City.
The biggest impediment to the redevelopment, purchase and occupancy oftheformer Wal-Mart
site is land use restrictions Wal-Mart has placed on the property including: property cannot be
occupied by a grocery store user larger than 35,000 square feet or a general merchandise user
greater than 55,000 square feet. Even if sold to another user or developer by Wal-Mart, these
private deed restrictions will run with the property for 25 years. The City has no leverage with
Wal-Mart to change or alter these restrictions and with the aforementioned restrictions.
An alternative, dividing the building, imposes a significant challenge to anyone interested in
purchasing the property. While this may be a viable option, it is extremely costly and has been
considered by others interested in the subject property in the past but did not materialize into a
viable project due to the difficulty of balancing cost, with appropriate tenant mix and complying
with the use restrictions Wal-Mart has placed on the property.
Big R and Ace Hardware received approval for bulk fuel sales similar to the request at the subject
property however U-Haul, in addition to Ace, only sell bulk propane. Home Depot maintains
outdoor storage and display areas and is located on North Richmond Road, zoned C-5 and did
receive a conditional use permit to allow outdoor storage of Penske trucks and trailers in 2013. It
is consistent with the development trend along north Richmond Road for businesses to maintain
outdoor display and storage areas, as well as outdoor bulk fuel sales and storage; therefore, the
proposed uses at 2019 N Richmond Road are consistent with and will not alter the character of the
area.
Staff has maintained close contact with the broker hired by Wal-Mart to sell the subject property,
and he has been very forthright about working with the City to the best of his ability, given the
aforementioned restrictions, but at the same time trying to find a user mutually beneficial to the
City and property owner. Staff believes it is in the City's best interest and benefit for the Wal-Mart
site to be sold and occupied to U-Haul, which is a very viable user. They will be fulfilling a service
need with great demand. Additionally, U-Haul has not closed a store in its 75-year existence.

Many other serve -oriented uses are located and accommodate large traditional "retail -oriented"
spaces on Richmond Road including Centegra Rehabilitation Center and Immediate Care as well as
smaller outlot and inline which are traditional "retail -oriented" spaces including: Athletico,
Mattress Firm, American Mattress, Vision Center, Jiffy -tube, among others. The market has
changed and service -oriented uses are certainly more common along major retail corridors,
provide economic diversification, stability, and increase the viability of the corridor.
Staff, through its meetings with U-Haul, has requested U-Haul reserve outlot space along
Richmond Road which could be subdivided at a later date and sold a third party user. There is a
great demand for outlot space along Richmond Road, as staff has spoken with parties seeking
outlot space. On the initial site plan included in the application packet submitted to the Planning
and Zoning Commission U-Haul, depicted 30,000 square feet for a proposed outlot. While the
proposed depth of 180' was adequate the size was not large, enough to accommodate a viable
outlot user.
The outlot directly to the east which includes a building American Mattress occupies is 36,155
square feet and the McDonald's at the northeast corner of McCullom Lake Road and Richmond
Road is 39, 640 square feet. Any restaurant user would require more space in order to supply
adequate parking and the McDonald's at McCullom Lake Road and Richmond Road did obtain
variances and the site was a redevelopment. McDonald's purchased the property formerly
occupied by LaSalle Bank. The outlot on north Richmond Road (2200-2212 N Richmond), McHenry
Towne Center (Kohl's, Aldi, etc.) includes two buildings on one lot and contains: Starbucks,
formerly Oberweis, Mattress Firm, Jimmy Johns, Chipotle and others is 2.48 acres or 108,028
square feet.
Staff worked with U-Haul to acquire additional outlot space along Richmond Road, as part ofthe
proposed redevelopment of the former Wal-Mart site, which would accommodate at least two
users, which could share parking. Staff has contacted the broker for Wal-Mart who indicated
there would and no issues with outlots at this location as far as Wal-Mart is concerned. On the
revised site plan, submitted as part of the application packet to the City Council, is a 45,000
square -foot outlot, which a developer staff has been working with is prepared to purchase pending
approval of the use variance at 2019 N Richmond Road.
Staff does not believe the additional outlot space will impair, detract or negatively impact the
viability of the proposed U-Haul operation and has spoken with U-Haul regarding visibility and
potentially applying for sign variances if they can be justified by the requirements for variances in
the City's sign ordinance. U-Haul is having a comprehensive permanent sign package completed
and if variances are required, they will be presented to the City Council for consideration at a

subject property within a week following the January 18 City Council meeting.

Director of Economic Development Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report
regarding this matter stating the applicant, which is part of the real estate company associated
with U-Haul, is seeking to purchase the building formerly occupied by Wal-Mart. It is located at
2019 N Richmond Road, and they are requesting a use variance to allow outdoor storage of
commercial vehicles in conjunction with the operation of a mini warehouse facility and outdoor
sale and storage of bulk fuel. The 115,600 square -foot building was initially constructed in 1994, is
approximately 12.7 acres and was vacated by Wal-Mart in 2010 following their move north to the
Village of Johnsburg. The narrative included with the application explains in detail U-Haul's
proposed operation, business model, customer base and benefits which they bring to a
community.
A use variance is required because outdoor storage of trucks for rent, mini warehouse facilities and
bulk fuel sales are not permitted uses in the &3 zoning district. Home Depot, which is zoned &5,
maintains outdoor storage and display areas and is also located on North Richmond Road, however
they did receive a conditional use permit to allow outdoor storage of Penske trucks.
The proposed use will fill a building which has been vacant for approximately five years. If
purchased, U-Haul would make substantial interior and exterior upgrades to the building and site
to promote its use and brand but also substantially increase the assessed valuation of the
property, fill a service need in the community, and draw customers from outside of McHenry
which will most likely utilize other businesses located along this corridor and in the City.

alter the character of the area.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated Staff has maintained close contact with the
broker hired by Wal-Mart to sell the subject property and believes it is in the City's best interest
and benefit for the Wal-Mart site to be sold and occupied to U-Haul, which is a very viable user.
They will be satisfying a service need which is in great demand. Additionally, U-Haul has not closed
a store in its 75-year existence.
Many other service -oriented uses are located and accommodate large traditional "retail -oriented"
spaces on Richmond Road. The market has changed and service -oriented uses are more common
along major retail corridors and they provide economic diversification, stability and increase the
viability of the corridor.
Staff, through its meetings with U-Haul, has requested U-Haul reserve outlot space along
Richmond Road which could be subdivided at a later date and sold to a third party user. There is a
great demand for quality and visible outlot space along Richmond Road and staff has spoken with
parties seeking outlot space. The site plan included in the application packet depicts 30,000 square
feet for a proposed outlot. While the proposed depth of 180' is adequate, the size is not large
enough to accommodate a viable outlot user. Staff is seeking additional outlot space along
Richmond Road, as part of the proposed redevelopment of the former Wal-Mart site which would
accommodate at least two users which could share parking similar to a drawing submitted in the
Staff Report.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated the proposed outlot configuration would require
no additional depth than depicted onthe U-Haul site plan but additional length and area. Staff has
contacted the broker for Wal-Mart who indicated there would be no issues with outlots at this
location as far as Wal-Mart is concerned. U-Haul does not require a lot of parking; and they are
proposing to remove the fence and berm at the northeast corner of the site, which will also
enhance their visibility.
Staff does believe the additional outlot space will impair, detract or negatively impactthe viability
of the proposed U-Haul operation. Staff is willing to work with U-Haul on visibility in addition to
applying for sign variances, if sought, and can be justified by the requirements for variances in the
City's sign ordinance if U-Haul is concerned their business would be negatively compromised by
the additional outlot space Staff is requesting. It is in the City's interestto obtain additional outlot
space but also to ensure the success of U-Haul at this location. Staff believes both these goals can
be achieved.

Staff believes the zoning relief U-Haul is seeking is reasonable, consistent with the zoning
ordinance and comprehensive plan, will not adversely impact adjacent properties, and fulfills all of
the criteria outlined in Table 32(A) of the zoning ordinance. Director Martin met with the owners
of Northtown Auto regarding the easements on the property, both for ingress/egress and
drainage. These easements will continue to exist and U-Haul had agreed to maintain them.
Northtown Auto expressed concerns about visibility and U-Haul was made aware of their concerns
and has no issue with adding a condition in the new ordinance when it is written which would
require a new site plan be submitted.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated Staff recommends approval of a use variance to
allow outdoor storage of commercial vehicles in conjunction with the operation of a mini
warehouse facility in addition to the outdoor sale and storage of bulk fuel at 2019 N Richmond
Road subject to the following conditions, as amended from the Staff Report:
1. Size and locations of outdoor storage area (truck shunting area); propane storage area and
proposed landscaping shall be in substantial conformance with the attached site plan,
which shall be incorporated into any ordinance as an exhibit to be considered by the City
Council; major deviations from the attached site plan will require an amendment to the
proposed use variance.
2. Site shall maintain minimal security lighting, in additional to complying with parking lot
lighting standards, while the facility is closed.
3. Outdoor storage/display shall be limited to U-Haul trucks and trailers in the areas depicted
on the site plan.
4. Storage of chemicals, combustible items and paint are prohibited.
5. Written approval from the State Fire Marshall shall be required for the bulk fuel storage.
6. Approved ingress and egress to and from the site along Richmond Road must be confirmed
by IDOT.
7. Any sign variances as depicted on the site plan must be considered and approved by the
City Council.
8. No outdoor storage of any kind shall be permitted west of the existing building.
9. A revised site plan shall be submitted, depicting 45,000 square -feet of contiguous outlot
space along Richmond Road in a configuration similar to the 30,000 square foot outlot
space depicted on the current site plan, which still allows applicant to utilize space adjacent
to Richmond Road for outside display, and including cross access easement language to be
granted to and for the benefit of future outlot user(s)/owner(s) to Richmond and
McCullom Lake Roads prior to City Council consideration. Cross -access easement shall be
included on a Plat of Easement to be prepared by applicant prior to City Council
consideration.

10. All City ordinances, rules, requirements and regulations including but not limited to: storm
water, building, zoning (parking lot lighting, etc.) shall be followed as deemed applicable to
the proposed development; and
Staff finds all requirements in Table 32(A) of the zoning ordinance have been satisfied.
Chairman Strach invited questions and/or comments from the Commission.
Commissioner Meyer asked for clarification on the outlot shape and size. Ms. O'Donnell and
Director Martin clarified it will be 45,000 total square feet. While they are not sure of the exact
layout yet or how much of the space will be to the north, it will be worked out with Director Martin
as most likely one outlot with usable depth to the west and north/shape not yet determined. They
are making the outlot larger by 15,000 square feet from the plan that was presented in the
application packet. Commissioner Meyer stated a concern with adding the 15,000 square feet to
the west and Director Martin and Ms. O'Donnell agreed with his concern as needing to be
addressed. Commissioner Meyer stated he is comfortable with Director Martin working with U-
Haul to make it usable outlot space.
Commissioner Doherty inquired how many buildings the outlot might incorporate. Director of
Economic Development Martin stated it is not determined yet because it is common for a
resubdivision to be requested for an outlot which will make it a separate lot. It is not likely to be
two buildings mostly due to parking requirements. The size would be similar to that for the
Mattress Store or McDonald's across Richmond Road from the property for comparison sake.
Commissioner Bromley asked if the entrance/exits will remain as they are presently. Director of
Economic Development Martin answered affirmatively adding there will be a request for an
easement or legal right for the outlot businesses to use the entrances/exits.
Commissioner Doherty asked if the green area to the north would remain. Director of Economic
Development Martin stated U-Haul is proposing landscaping, a fence, and displayto the east of the
building with the only thing being altered from the site plan being the outlot size and placement.
Commissioner Bromley inquired if there are plans to add a truck fueling station. Ms. O'Donnell
responded there are no plans for that, only sale of bulk propane.
Chairman Strach opened the floor to questions and comments from the audience. Mark
Hartmann, 7127 Burning Tree Drive, McHenry, owner of Northtown Auto, was sworn in by
Chairman Strach prior to addressing the Commission. Mr. Hartmann stated his business lies

adjacent to the subject property and he wanted it to be on record that he met with Director of
Economic Development Martin and a Representative from U-Haul regarding his concerns. He
stated Director Martin has done a remarkable job in addressing his concerns and believes U-Haul
will be a good neighbor. However, Mr. Hartmann stated they believe the visibility of their business
from Richmond Rd. will be impeded and they want to request an offsite ground sign be added,
similar to what was done with the Home Depot/Staples sign approximately one-half mile to the
North of the subject property.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated offsite signage requires a variance that would go
directly to City Council and is not being considered at this hearing. Mr. Hartmann stated he just
wanted it on the record that he will be making a request.
Chairman Strach opened the floor to questions and comments from the audience. There was
nobody in attendance who wished to address the Commission regarding this matter. Chairman
Strach closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 8:20 p.m.
Motion by Bromley, seconded by Sobotta, to recommend to the City Council with regard to File No
1- 878, an application for use variance to allow outdoor storage of commercial vehicles in
conjunction with the operation of a mini warehouse facility in addition to the outdoor sale and
storage of bulk fuel as submitted by AMERCO Real Estate Company, for the property located at
2019 N Richmond Road (Illinois Route 31), subject to the following conditions, as amended:
1. Size and locations of outdoor storage area (truck shunting area); propane storage area and
proposed landscaping shall be in substantial conformance with the attached site plan,
which shall be incorporated into any ordinance as an exhibit to be considered by the City
Council; major deviations from the attached site plan will require an amendment to the

,TINE PROJECT SUMMAF
U-Haul has prepared this application package for the opportunity to receive the
City of McHenry participation and counseling in regards to a use variance
application for mini -storage and U-Haul truck rentals for the property located at
2019 Richmond Road.
The 12.7 acre property, a former Walmart building, is located west of North
Richmond Road and north of McCullom Lake Road. U-Haul is proposing to
redevelop the area by undergoing an adaptive- re -use of the existing 115,600SF
single -story building. The conversion will include interior self -storage units, a
showroom, a couple bays for dispatch/receiving and hitch installations. This will
allow U-Haul to better serve the storage needs of the community.
The property is currently zoned Community Commercial — C3. The proposed
uses of mini -storage and U-Haul truck rental not permitted uses in this zone. A
use variance is being requested to allow these uses. We feel that U-Haul would
be an appropriate use for the property and the expansion of services would be an
asset to the community. There are proven benefits for allowing self -storage
facilities in communities:
• Self -storage facilities are quiet
• They provide an excellent buffer between zones
• They create very little traffic
• They have little impact on utilities
• They have no impact on schools
• They provide a good tax revenue
• They provide a community service
U-Haul moving and storage are convenience businesses. Our philosophy is to
place U-Haul stores in high growth residential areas, where we fill a need for
our products and services. Customers are made aware of the U-Haul store,
primarily via drive -by awareness, much like that of a convenience store,
restaurant or hardware store. Attractive imaging and brand name recognition
bring in area residents — by our measures, those who live within a four -mile
radius of the center.
Custom site design for every U-Haul store assures that the facility
compliments the community it serves by architectural compatibility and
attractive landscaping. Adherence to community objectives is key, so that the
U-Haul store is a neighborhood asset, and is assured of economic success.
THE U-HAUL STORE
U-Haul stores characteristically serve the do-it-yourself household customer. In
a typical day at U-Haul, the store will be staffed with a general manager and two
to three customer service representatives. Families will generally arrive in their
own automobiles, enter the showroom and may choose from a variety of
products and services offered there.
• Families typically use U-Haul stores to store furniture, household goods,
sporting equipment or holiday decorations. Often prompted by moving to
a smaller home, combining households or clearing away clutter to prepare
a home for sale, storage customers will typically rent a room for a period
of two months to one year.
• U-Haul stores also rent trucks and trailers for household moving, either in -
town or across country.
• Families who need packing supplies in advance of a move or to ship
personal packages can choose from a variety of retail sales items,
including cartons, tape and packing materials.
• Families who tow U-Haul trailers, boats or recreational trailers can select
and have installed the hitch and towing packages which best meet their
needs.
• Moving and storage are synergistic businesses. Over half of our storage
customers tell us they used U-Haul storage because of a household
move. Customers will typically rent U-Haul equipment or use their
personal vehicle to approach the loading area and enter the building
through the singular customer access. All new U-Haul stores are
designed with interior storage room access, giving the customer the added
value of increased security, and the community the benefit of a more
aesthetically pleasing exterior.

Sun. 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
• All U-Haul storage customers are issued a card -swipe style identification
card that must be used to gain access to their room. This is but one of
many security policies which protect the customer's belongings and
decrease the ability of unauthorized access to the facility.
• It is against policy for a business to be operated from a U-Haul storage
room.
• Customers and community residents who wish to use the on -site
dumpsters for disposing of refuse must gain permission to do so, and are
assessed an additional fee.
• Items that may not be stored include: chemicals, flammables, and paints.
• U-Haul stores are protected by video surveillance.
• U-Haul stores are non-smoking facilities.
• U-Haul will provide added service and assistance to our customers with
disabilities.
U-Haul looks forward to working with the City of McHenry and we look forward to
your consideration of the Variance Application that we are submitting at this time.
Please provide us with your feedback and any comments you may have.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council

RE: Temporary Sign Variances for U-Haul for the property located at 2019 N
Richmond Road
ATT:

2. Proposed Signage Locations
I Letter from U-Haul and Temporary Sign Package
BACKGROUND: If the City Council approves the proposed use variance to allow outdoor
storage of commercial vehicles in conjunction with the operation of a mini warehouse facility
and outdoor sale and storage of bulk fuel at 2019 N Richmond Road U-Haul wants to close on
the property and simultaneously commence site and building renovations and begin leasing of
rental trucks. It's U-Haul's goal to obtain a temporary certificate of occupancy following
buildout of their leasing office and showroom within the building at 2019 N Richmond Road,
lease vehicles and complete the interior buildout of their storage units in the remainder of the
building.
The interior buildout of the storage units will take several months, and while there permanent
signs are being constructed U-Haul is requesting variances to allow four temporary signs for 90
days: two of the signs would cover the existing freestanding sign bases (one along Richmond
Road and one along McCullom Lake Road) and the additional two temporary signs are proposed
on the southern and eastern elevations of the building.
ANALYSIS: In accordance with the City's sign ordinance one 32 square foot temporary sign is
allowed to be displayed for a maximum period of 30 consecutive days. Although the sign
ordinance does include provisions for additonal temporary signage in conjunction with a
grandopering U-Haul does not anticipate a grandopening until later in 2016 following the

Length: 20 feet
Depth: 17 1/2 inches
Temporary Wall Signs: 72 square feet each (one on south and one on east building elevation)
Dimensions: 72 inches high x 144 inches wide
The following sign variance apporval criteria are included in the sign ordiannce:
1) Will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the
vicinity;
2) Will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, increase the danger
of fire, endanger public safety, or substantially impair property values in the neighborhood;
3) Shall not give the property owner or business an unfair advantage over a similar business;
and
4) Will not cause a hazard to the public's safety by being distracting because of size, location, or
being located within rights -of -way.
The property is located on a corner lot and has two road frontages; it's oddly configured with a
business directly to the south which impedes visibility; the east building elevation is more than
170 feet from Richmond Road and the south elevation is over 400 feet from McCullom Lake
Road and there's existing vegetation along both road frontages which impair visibility. Staff
believes the aforementioned criteria have been met and supports the requested sign variances.

allow more than two accessory structures/buildings on the subject property,
Variance to exceed maximum permissible height for accessory
structures/buildings as well as maximum cumulative square footage for all
accessory structures/buildings on the subject property

5. Application Packet
BACKGROUND: The subject property, 4724 W Crystal Lake Road, is zoned RS-3 and contains a
three-story high school and an administrative building at the north end of the subject property.
In addition, tennis courts; a softball field and two soccer fields are located on the property.
In addition to the two principal buildings (school and administrative offices for District 1561 the
subject property contains eight accessory buildings and structures including: two softball
dugouts; two mobile classroom trailers; a maintenance garage, a storage shed powered by solar
photovoltaic panels; and two press boxes, in the midst of being constructed -one adjacent to the
softball field at the north end of the site and one adjacent to a soccer field south of the
aforementioned press box.

In 1995 a variance was approved to allow a second principal building and an expansion to the
existing conditional use permit was approved. In 2009 an ordinance amending &95-709 was
approved to allow a second accessory building (solar powered storage shed) and in 2011 an
ordinance amending the existing conditional use permit granted by &95-709 was approved to
allow an expansion, to said conditional use permit, to allow The Chapel to hold weekly religious
services at West Campus.
Recently the high school district began constructing two additional accessory structures in the
locations depicted in the aerial photograph below and as depicted on the attached site plan
submitted as part of the application packet. Staff contacted the high school and explained
variances were required to permit these two structures. Specifically, variances from Article X.
Accessory Uses, Yards and Fences to allow more than two accessory structures/buildings on the
subject property; a variance to exceed maximum permissible height for accessory
structures/buildings as well as a variance to exceed the maximum cumulative square footage
for all accessory structures/buildings on a residentially -zoned property. Staff worked with the
high school, which ceased construction of the structures and applied for the aforementioned
zoning relief.

Variances to allow multiple accessory structures/bungs at 3712 W Kane Avenue (McCracken
Field) were approved in 2014 by the City Council. Additionally, variances to exceed permissible
height for accessory structures for the existing home side bleachers (including press box -
located on the north side of McCracken Field) and new visitor side bleachers (including press
)ox-located on the south side of McCracken Field) were also approved.
ANALYSIS: All "RS" (Residential) zoning districts are restricted to a maximum of two accessory
buildings and a maximum cumulative square -footage of 1,000 square feet for all accessory
buildings. Additionally, the accessory buildings cannot exceed 17 feet or one-story in height.
The two accessory buildings in question, two storage buildings/press boxes adjacent to a soccer
field and softball field, are 320 and 357 square feet respectively and are each approximately
21'3" in height.
The buildings/structures will not have an adverse visual impact to adjacent properties due to
the large setback distances from all property lines and the proposed press boxes have a very
small footprint relative to the size of the entire subject property. This is a very unique situation
and property. It is zoned single-family residential but contains a high school and as such must
accommodate various activities and events and exceeding the two accessory structure/building
limit and cumulative square footage on a 46-acre property, in staff's opinion, will not cause any
deleterious impacts on abutting land uses and properties.
An educational institution of this size requires many types and sizes of accessory buildings and
structures in order to optimize the functionality of the site, in terms of accommodating multiple
sports events throughout the year. The property shape is unique and circumstances regarding
the use and development of this site relate to this property only and are not found anywhere
else in the immediate area. District 156 has been very cooperative in complying with the staff's
request of taking immediate action to rectify the zoning to address the two additional accessory
structures.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously
recommended approval (5-0) of Variances from Article X. Accessory Uses, Yards and Fences to
allow eight accessory structures/buildings on the subject property including two softball
dugouts; two mobile classroom trailers; a maintenance garage, a storage shed powered by solar
photovoltaic panels; and two press boxes -one adjacent to the softball field at the north end of
the site and one adjacent to a soccer field south of the aforementioned press box; and
Approval of Variances to exceed the maximum permissible height for an accessory
structure/building as well as to exceed the maximum cumulative square footage for all
accessory structures/buildings on the subject property and any other Variances required to

maintain the existing uncompleted and previously constructed improvements on the subject
property as well as all previously existing accessory building and structures constructed prior to
the date of this application as presented by the applicant, be granted, subject to the following
conditions:
• Maximum permissible height for the two press boxes -one adjacent to the softball field
at the north end of the site and one adjacent to a soccer field south of the
aforementioned press box shall not exceed 21'3";
• All City rules, regulations and ordinances including but not limited to storm water,
zoning, subdivision control and development and municipal code shall be complied with
as deemed applicable and enforceable.
If the City Council concurs it is recommended the attached ordinance granting Variances from
Article X. Accessory Uses, Yards and Fences to allow more than two accessory
structures/buildings on the subject property; to exceed maximum permissible height for
accessory structures/buildings as well as maximum cumulative square footage for all
accessory structures/buildings on the subject property be approved.

Chairman Strach called the Public Hearing to order at 7:47 p.m. regarding File No Z- 879, an
application for a Variance from Article X. Accessory Uses, Yards and Fences to allow more than
two accessory structures/buildings on the Subject Property; Variance to exceed maximum

by ordinance. The subject property was posted. A Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of
Compliance with notice requirements are on file in the City Clerk's Office.
In attendance was Dave Lawson, CFO, 6506 Tustamena Trail, McHenry; Mike Roberts,
Superintendent, 4715 Glenbrook Trail, McHenry; and Kevin Weisenberger, Facilities Manager,
5710 Amherst Court, McHenry, who were sworn in by Chairman Strach. Mr. Roberts provided a
summary of the request before the Commission at this Hearing stating they have begun to build
two press boxes on the property. Two press boxes/storage units are needed onsite for each of
the sports on the fields, softball and soccer. The press boxes are a welcome addition allowing
the District to keep up with other schools and facilities in sports. Using the press boxes also as
storage sheds will allow a uniform and convenient space for supplies to be available for all of
the activities.
Director of Economic Development Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report
regarding this matter stating the subject property is zoned RS-3. In addition to the two
principal buildings (school and administrative offices for District 156) the subject property
contains eight accessory buildings and structures including: two softball dugouts; two mobile
classroom trailers; a maintenance garage, a storage shed powered by solar photovoltaic panels;
and two press boxes, in the midst of being constructed -one adjacent to the softball field at the
north end of the site and one adjacent to a soccer field south of the aforementioned press box.
Recently the high school district began constructing two additional accessory structures as
depicted on the site plan submitted as part of the application packet. Staff contacted the high
school and explained variances were required to permit these two structures. Staff worked
with the high school, which ceased construction of the structures and applied for the
aforementioned zoning relief.
Director of Economic Development Martin clarified all "RS" (Residential) zoning districts are
restricted to a maximum of two accessory buildings and a maximum cumulative square -footage
A 1,000 square feet for all accessory buildings. Additionally, the accessory buildings cannot
exceed 17 feet or one-story in height. The two accessory buildings in question, two storage
buildings/press boxes adjacent to a soccer field and softball field, are 320 and 357 square feet
respectively and are each approximately 21'3" in height.
Staff supports all the variances being requested and believes all criteria outlined in Table 32 of
the zoning ordinance have been met. The buildings/structures will not have an adverse visual
impact to adjacent properties due to the large setback distances from all property lines and the
proposed press boxes have a very small footprint relative to the size of the entire subject

property. An educational institution of this size requires many types and sizes of accessory
buildings and structures in order to optimize the functionality of the site, in terms of
accommodating multiple sports events throughout the year.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated the property shape is unique and
circumstances regarding the use and development of this site relate to this property only and
are not found anywhere else in the immediate area. None of the existing/proposed
improvements will adversely impact abutting properties nor the health, safety or general
welfare of the public, and are definitely necessary for the use of the property as it was intended
and has been being used for decades and will not alter the local character. Denial of the
requested variances would certainly create an undue hardship/burden on the property owner
and detract from the use of the site as a publicly -used property for educational and sporting
events. District 156 has been very cooperative in complying with the staffs request of taking
immediate action to rectify the zoning to address the two additional accessory structures.
Director Martin further stated he did address some concerns brought forth from abutting
property owners regarding cars and buses going out the bus lane to the northwest of the
property onto Oakwood Dr. and maintenance of the drainage ditches. The City and the High
School District are in agreement that these issues will be addressed with a Memo of
Understanding before being brought to City Council for approval.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated Staff recommends approval of the requested
Variances with conditions as presented in the Staff Report, and finds all requirements in Table
32 of the zoning ordinance have been satisfied.
Chairman Strach invited questions and/or comments from the Commission.
Commissioners Doherty, Bromley, and Meyer asked questions regarding the footings of the
structures being built as well as whether they would be heated and when the concrete work
was expected to be done. Mr. Roberts replied the buildings are presently on slabs but they are
working already with Ryan Schwalenberg in the City's building department and if this gets
approval tonight they will continue to work with him to modify the footings to be in compliance
with current building codes. He also stated the structures will not be heated and concrete work
should begin in the spring.
Chairman Strach opened the floor to questions and comments from the audience. Mary Ann
Gabrielsen, 4901 Oakwood Dr., McHenry, was sworn in by Chairman Strach prior to addressing
the Commission. Ms. Gabrielsen asked for verification the press box being built for the baseball

field would be built on the field closest to the school rather than closest to the condominium
buildings. Mr. Roberts verified that information was correct. Chairman Strach closed the public
comment portion of the hearing at 7:55 p.m.
Commissioner Meyer inquired as to how and why this happened without going through the
proper building approval process. Mr. Weisenberger stated he takes responsibility for a
misunderstanding in communication and they stopped work when the miscommunication was
discovered and began to work with the City. Commissioner Meyer asked if a process is now
instituted so similar miscommunication won't happen again. Mr. Weisenberger and Mr.
Roberts replied they definitely have a process in place now. Attorney Cahill stated the law
recently changed on school districts zoning procedures explaining schools did not have to bring
zoning requests to the City previously which might have been part of the miscommunication.
Motion by Meyer, seconded by Bromley, to recommend to the City Council with regard to File
No. Z-879.
Approval of Variances from Article X. Accessory Uses, Yards and Fences to allow eight accessory
structures/buildings on the subject property including two softball dugouts; two mobile
classroom trailers; a maintenance garage, a storage shed powered by solar photovoltaic panels;
and two press boxes -one adjacent to the softball field at the north end of the site and one
adjacent to a soccer field south of the aforementioned press box; and
Approval of Variances to exceed the maximum permissible height for an accessory
structure/building as well as to exceed the maximum cumulative square footage for all
accessory structures/buildings on the subject property and any other Variances required to
maintain the existing uncompleted and previously constructed improvements on the subject
property as well as all previously existing accessory building and structures constructed prior to
the date of this application as presented by the applicant, be granted, subject to the following
conditions:
• Maximum permissible height for the two press boxes -one adjacent to the softball field
at the north end of the site and one adjacent to a soccer field south of the
aforementioned press box shall not exceed 21'3";
• All City rules, regulations and ordinances including but not limited to storm water,

Road (hereinafter referred to as the "SUBJECT PROPERTY") including: two

• A four -foot three-inch Variance from maximum permissible height for accessory
structures, for the two press boxes/storage structures currently under
construction. Maximum permissible height for the two press boxes/storage
structures, adjacent to the softball field at the north end of the site and adjacent
to a soccer field, shall not exceed 21'3" in height.
• Variance to exceed the maximum cumulative square footage for all accessory
structures/buildings, 1,000 square feet, on the SUBJECT PROPERTY.
• All the aforementioned Variances are approved with the condition: all City rules,
regulations and ordinances including but not limited to stormwater, zoning,
subdivision control and development and municipal code shall be complied with
as deemed applicable and enforceable
SECTION 2: In granting said Variances, the City Council finds that the requirements of
Table 32 of the Zoning Ordinance have been met in that:
1. Special circumstances exist that are peculiar to the property for which the
variance is sought and that do not apply generally to other properties in the
same zoning district. And these circumstances are not of so general or recurrent
a nature as to make it reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to
cover them.
2. The special circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character
of the land or building(s) for which the variance is sought, such as dimension,
topography, or soil conditions. They do not concern any business or activity the
present or prospective owner or tenant carries on, or seeks to carry on, therein,
not to the personal, business, or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant
or any other party with interest in the property.
3. The special circumstances that are the basis for the variance have not resulted
from any act of the applicant or of any other party with interest in the property.
4. The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in
unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from a
mere inconvenience.
5. A Variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial
property right possessed by other properties in the same zoning district and does
not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied to other properties in the district.
6. The granting of a Variance is necessary not because it will increase the
applicant's economic return, although it may have this effect, but because
without the variance the applicant will be deprived of any reasonable use or
enjoyment of the property.

viewed in light of any changed conditions since their adoption.

Table 32 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance provides that in recommending approval or conditional
approval of a variance, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit to the City Council written
findings that all of the conditions listed below apply to the requested action.
Please respond to each of these conditions as it relates to our request
1. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere
Special circumstances exist that are particular to the property for which the variance is sought and that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district; and these circumstances are not of so general
or recurrent a nature as to make it reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them.
While West Campus is residentially zoned, the needs of a school often differ from that of
their residential neighbors. This request to add 2 press boxes are a result of
interscholastic competition. The press boxes would benefit girls and boys soccer and
rls softball.
2. Circumstances Relate to Property Only
Since a variance will affect the character of its surroundings long after a property changes hands, the special
circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character of the land or building(s) for which a
variance is sought, such as dimensions, topography, or soil conditions; and they do not concern any business
or activity the present or prospective owner or tenant carries on or seeks to carry on therein, or to the
personal, business or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other party with interest in the
property.
Schools are living, breathing institutions that long outlive their present occupants.
Administrators, teachers and students all have limited times. The school itself and the
athletic programs within will live far beyond the present occupants.
FORM D Page I of 3
3. Not Resulting from Applicant Action
The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance have not resulted from any act of the applicant or
of any other party with interest in the property.
The circumstances for the variance are the result of the facilities needed
for the high school athletic competition fields.
4. Unnecessary Hardship
The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue
hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience.
While some will view these press boxes as a sheer convenience, schools must always
look at equity issues. Boys baseball has a press box. Boys football has a press box.
This, in part, is a matter of sports equity.
5. Preserves Rights Conferred by District
A variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial property right possessed by
other properties in the same zoning district, and does not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied to other
properties in the district.
Because we are a school of 2,400 students, with a thriving athletic program, our needs
are very different than that of single-family residents.
6. Necessary for Use of Property
The granting of a variance is necessary not because it will increase the applicant's economic return, although
it may have this effect, but because without a variance the applicant will be deprived of any reasonable use
or enjoyment of the property.
No press boxes afforded to our softball and soccer programs is depriving those programs
of facilities afforded to our baseball and football programs.
FORM D
Page 2 of 3
Alter Local Character
The granting of a variance will not alter the essential character of the locality nor substantially impair
environmental quality, property values, or public safety or welfare in the vicinity.
It is our contention we will in no way alter the essential characteristics of McHenry High School
West Campus.
8. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan
The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance
and Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in light of any changes conditions since their adoption.
The granting of the variance will lie in harmony with the general purpose and intent
of the Zoning Ordinance and comprehensive plan of the City as it will remain an
integral component of the local neighborhood.
9. Minimum Variance Required
The variance requested is the minimum required to provide the applicant with reasonable use and enjoyment
of the property.
The variance request is the minimum required to maintain the student athletic
programs at the property.

RE: Consideration of Ordinances authorizing the Mayor's execution of Two
Memorandums of Understanding between the City of McHenry and McHenry
High School District 156 pertaining to the School Bus Lane and Drainage Ditch
on Boone Valley Plat Number Seven
ATT:
1. Ordinance authorizing the Mayor's execution of A Memorandum of Understanding
between the City of McHenry and McHenry High School District 156 pertaining to the
school bus lane
2. Ordinance authorizing the Mayor's execution of A Memorandum of Understanding
between the City of McHenry and McHenry High School District 156 pertaining to the
drainage ditch on Boone Valley Plat Number Seven
BACKGROUND: Staff has been working with McHenry High School District 156 in drafting two
memorandums of understanding. The first of which is the use of the driveway located at the
northwest corner of McHenry High School West Campus which extends to Oakwood Drive and
intended solely for ingress and egress of school buses. The second is the maintenance of the
detention area and drainage ditch which extends along the southern border of West Campus
but located on several properties.
Over the past couple of decades both of the aforementioned issues have been discussed
periodically and with the continued development of West Campus, such as the addition of the
accessory structures and renovations to the parking lot which occurred in 2015, City staff and
staff from District 156 believed it would be advantageous to memorialize them in a written
format. Both of these issues are important due to the potential adverse impact on the
residential areas to the west and south of McHenry High School West Campus. City staff and
staff from District 156 walked the property on West Campus to identify what needed to be
addressed and subsequently researched the drainage ditch on previously -approved plats of
subdivision.

www.ci.mchenry.il.us
ANALYSIS: The attached memorandums of understanding address both of the aforementioned
issues and include the following language, included on the first memorandum of understanding,
pertains to the use of the designated bus lane:
Signs stating "DO NOT ENTER" shall perpetually be posted at the school bus driveway facing
Oakwood Drive and the gate which crosses the driveway shall be opened at 6:30 a.m. and
closed at 4:00 p.m. daily when school is in session to facilitate the movement of school bus
traffic.
The second memorandum of understand includes the following language pertaining to the
detention area located at the southwest portion of West Campus and drainage ditch which
extends east and west of the detention area and crosses many properties including those
owned by the City and District 156. The following language is included within the
memorandum:
DISTRICT 156 agrees to perpetually maintain the drainage ditch, which is generally located at
the southern portion of the SUBJECT PROPERTY, at the location depicted on attached Exhibit
"A" ("D156 DRAINAGE EASEMENT") and Boone Valley Plat No. Seven attached as Exhibit "B"
("BOONE VALLEY PLAT NO. SEVEN"). The D156 DRAINAGE EASEMENT is located within the area
on BOONE VALLEY PLAT NO. SEVEN labeled Lot "A." DISTRICT 156 agrees to perpetually
maintain the rip rap and detention area, which is generally located at the southwest portion of
the SUBJECT PROPERTY, at the location depicted on attached Exhibit "A" ("D156 RIP
RAP/DETENTION") and on BOONE VALLEY PLAT NO. 7 east of and adjacent to Lot 10 and
extending east to Lot 13. The CITY agrees to maintain the CITY DRAINAGE DITCH generally
described as the green area lying immediately to the north of Lots 1-3 on BOONE VALLEY PLAT
NO. SEVEN and depicted on Exhibits "A" and "B" ("CITY DRAINAGE DITCH").
The memorandum includes language which defines maintenance. Although the drainage ditch
is not depicted on City -owned property on Boone Valley Plat No. 7 in the form of an easement
the ditch clearly traverses City property on the location depicted on the attached
memorandum. Additionally, this drainage ditch functions as the overland flow route which
travels southwest from West Campus to Boone Creek. Therefore, it is important to both taxing
bodies and more so to residents which could be adversely impacted, if the ditch and overland
flow route is not adequately maintained, to clearly identify maintenance responsibilities.

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
DATE: January 18, 2016
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bill Hobson, Deputy City Administrator
RE: Municipal Center Furniture Purchase
ATTACHMENTS: Equipment quote from Interiors for Business
Recently the City Council awarded the bid for construction for Municipal Center improvements to
Stuckey Construction. As with the recreation center the furniture was not included in the bid for
construction in order to avoid significant mark-ups that can occur for this type of equipment. Instead,
the city will once again be utilizing a cooperative purchasing entity to provide the opportunity to use
nationally and competitively -bid contracts for this purchase in order to allocate the necessary
furniture for the project at the lowest possible cost.
The General Services Administration (GSA) is a national governmental purchasing cooperative that
offers competitively bid and awarded contracts with national vendors for commonly purchased products
and services allowing government entities to make compliant purchases at a valued rate. Agencies in
Illinois are permitted to use cooperative purchasing contracts such as the GSA as an alternative to
bidding per Chapter 5, Act 220, Section 2 and 3 concerning Intergovernmental Cooperation (5 ILCS
220/2 and 220/3). The Governmental Joint Purchasing Act {30 ILCS 525) allows member agencies to
legally purchase through these contracts without duplicating its own competitive -bidding process
and requirements. The result of this cooperative effort is a high -quality selection of nationally -
leveraged, competitively -bid contract solutions to help meet the ever -changing needs of current
and future member agencies.
The total amount for furniture procurement and installation is $17,874.08. The furniture itself is
priced at $12,717.08 with installation of the furniture being an additional $5,157.
If City Council approves then Staff is looking for a motion from council to approve (1) the GSA contract
with Interiors for Business in the amount of $12,717.08; (2) the quote for installation and garbage
removal of all related furniture in the amount of $5,157.
