PUBLIC HEARING
Mayor Cuda convened the Public Hearing on the Busch/Knox annexation
and zoning at 7:31 P.M. Attorneys Thomas Rupp, Guy Youman, and Daniel
Curran representing the petitioners were present, along with Ted Johnson
of Thompson, Dyke and Associates, Ltd. Planning Consultants, and Court
Reporter Cheryl Barone.
Attorney Curran explained that the petitioners were requesting
annexation and zoning of approximately 69 acres of land located on the
northeast and northwest corners of Bull Valley Road and South Green
Street. The petitioners have agreed to dedicate 11 acres of this
property for a Bull Valley Road bypass. Attorney Curran explained that
since the initial concept plan was presented in June of 1992, substantial
revisions have occurred as follows:

Curran noted in particular, the reduction of multi-family units and
office area and the increase in single-family units, commercial area, and
open space. The miiSority use of the property will in fact be open
space.
Ted Johnson then reviewed the fourth revised site plan. Johnson
noted the main element which regulates the highest and best use of this
property is the proposed relocation of Bull Valley Road. The new site
plan proposes a more, intense land use adjacent to the proposed Bull
Valley Road bypass, and less intense use further north. ^�
There being no questions from the Council on this presentation, Mayor
Cuda opened the floor to public comment. The following individuals
addressed the Council: Nora Brown of 602 S. Hilltop Blvd. stated her
support of the Bull Valley bypass because of the increased traffic flow
on existing the Bull Valley Road. James Brophy of the Fox Ridge
subdivision, stated his support for the Bull Valley bypass because of
increased traffic throughout McHenry. Mark Hagy of the Green Valley
subdivision stated his concern with the multi-family home zoning. Bob
Hetterman of the Green Valley subdivision stated his concern about the
potential extension of Valley Road to the proposed Bull Valley bypass and
the multi-family zoning. Mark Golonka -of 600 S. McHenry Avenue stated
his concerns about current vandalism in his neighborhood and speeders on
Bull Valley Road. Rick Schultz, Chairman of the McHenry County Economic
Development Commission and Board Member of the McHenry Area Chamber of
Commerce, spoke in favor of the Bull Valley bypass and the need for
multi-family dwellings and affordable housing. Joe Depner of 3801 Bull
Valley Road stated his opposition to the C-3, 0-1, and 0-2 zoning, as
well as the temporary access to Bull Valley Road. He explained the
difficulty he and his neighbors experience gaining egress and ingress to
their personal driveways. Mr. Depner felt that when the proposed
Commercial/Office development occurs further traffic congestion in this
area will occur.
Barbara Gilpin, former City Clerk and McHenry Economic Development
Commission Board member, stated that traffic congestion has always been a
problem in McHenry. The Bull Valley bypass is needed to assist
commercial, industrial, and residential ratios to be more evenly
distributed. The bypass will help draw industry and commercial
development to the area which will assist in the lowering of property
taxes. She also noted that in her official capacity as City Clerk, she
had received many requests from "empty nesters" looking for
condominium-type housing. In conclusion, Mrs. Gilpin stated that the
annexation is just a land-use plan, not a subdivision process. Many
problems regarding drainage and road locations can be addressed during
this process.
Leann Depner of 3801 Bull Valley Road stated her opposition to the
Commercial zoning off of Bull Valley Road; she also requested
clarification of what would be completed first, the bypass or the
office/commercial development. Mayor Cuda explained that at this time,
that question could not be definitively answered.
1
Paul Antons of 3321 Bull Valley Road stated his support for the
bypass and his concern for the condition of the present Bull Valley Road
due to heavy traffic usage.
Frank Glamentea stated his support of the proposed bypass because of
current road problems and associated vandalism, as well as his opposition
to the multi-family housing.
Kathleen Reese of 3303 Bull Valley Road stated her support of the
Bull Valley bypass because of the heavy amount of traffic experienced on
the present Bull Valley Road.. She was particularly concerned about child
nr�ty.
September 21, 1994 Page 3
Richard Witting of 104 N. Ronda Road asked if a wetlands study had
been completed. City Administrator Peterson noted that Ken Fiske had
done a study and that a 12-month permit processing period will occur to
evaluate the study's findings. The study is available to any interested
parties.
James Zasada of 3517 Turnberry stated his concerns about drainage and
water problems in the designated RS-2 area, as his property is adjacent
to this property, and he is experiencing ongoing water problems.
Jerry Yencich of, Green Valley subdivision stated his support of the
proposed Bull Valley bypass, but his opposition to the multi-family
housing. Kim Hassetch, his wife, stated her support of the proposed Bull
Valley bypass, however, objected strongly to the Multi-family, Commercial
and Office zoning.
Michael Moushay of 229 Loch Glen Lane requested the Council listen to
the residents' objections to the Busch/Knox zoning proposal and not grant
approval of this annexation and its zoning. He also stated his objection
to proposed roadways connecting to the Green Valley subdivision, as well
as his concern with potential drainage problems in the RS-2 area.
Anton Rebel of 4009 Maple Avenue noted the past practice of accepting
free open space and the subsequent high maintenance costs of these
areas. Mayor Cuda asked the attorney for the petitioners, Curran, if he
would like to address the stated concerns and objections.
Curran explained that the very concerns stated by many of the
residents regarding heavy traffic flow and congestion on the existing
Bull Valley Road confirm the petitioner's proposed zoning of
Multi-family, Commercial, and Office areas adjacent to the proposed Bull
Valley bypass. Single family zoning is inconsistent with high traffic
thoroughfares. He also noted the need for multi-family homes for
beginning professionals, single parent families, and "empty nesters".
The proposed plan also shows single-family zoning north and adjacent to
the multi-family zoning, buffering in effect, the Green Valley
subdivision. In response to concerns raised regarding the impact on
schools and City services, it was noted that the total project impacts
little on City services, the schools, and the Library and Fire
Districts. The total project accounts for additional sales tax dollars,
and the petitioners have agreed to impact fees 10% higher than the last
negotiated fees. The present Bull Valley Road will, upon construction of
the proposed bypass, return to its residential status.
In conclusion, attorney Curran also stressed that this plan has been
�.. amended four times, reducing the commercial area and multi-family units
substantially, and increasing the single-family units by only 14 lots.
Ted Johnson, Senior Vice President of Thompson Dyke and Associates,
also noted the residents' comments regarding the negative impact of the
existing Bull Valley Road temporarily serving -as a collector road. As
most people do not wish to live next to a busy collector road,
Single-family zoning would be inappropriate for the area north of the
proposed bypass. The land uses proposed for this area, Commercial and
Office, are appropriate next to a major collector road. He also noted
this was not a subdivision process, and that zoning was just a
determination of the highest and best use of the property; and although
Mr. Fiske's analysis of the wetlands indicate they were of high quality,
it will be determined during the subdivision process whether all the
designated RS-2 lots are buildable. He also stated that if the entire
project were zoned Residential, it would have an adverse effect on the
schools and City services. The allowance of Commercial zoning allows for
a tax base to help off-set the costs of Residential zoning.
In response to comments of the Multi-family spot zoning, Mr. Johnson
explained that a 4-acre parcel, with frontage on a major collector street
adjacent to 13 acres of open space, could not be considered spot zoning.
Additional comments were taken from the audience supporting the Bull
Valley bypass, but objecting to the Commercial, Office, and Multi-family
zoning.
Motion by Lawson, seconded by Bolger, to close the Public Hearing at
9:07 P.M.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Locke, Bates, Lawson, Baird.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.
September 21, 1994 Page 4
Mayor Cuda called for a recess at 9:08 P.M. The meeting reconvened --1
at 9:20 P.M. , with everyone still in attendance.
It was the consensus of the Council to review all paragraphs that
contain substantive issues.
City Attorney McArdle explained that the annexation agreement was
divided into five sections:
- Introductory .Section - Recitals
- Title - Obligations of the City, may state the guarantees the
City makes to the petitioners, as well as granting them any
relief from certain ordinances.
Title II - Obligations of the Owners - states the owners' intent
to comply with all City ordinances, and any other issues the
City specifically addresses in this section.
- Title III - L.Reciyrocal Obligations - states the miscellaneous
obligations not covered in the previous sections.
- Title IV - Miscellaneous - addresses general boiler plate legal
language associated with any binding agreement.
Title I - Obligations of the City - would be the first area of
substantive issue and- discussion. City Attorney McArdle then reviewed
Title I', item by item. He asked for questions and/or comments about this
section. City' Administrator Peterson noted that some minor language
modifications had occurred. There were, however, no major changes.
Alderman Bolger noted that the date on Page 5, Paragraph A. should be
changed from "August, 1994" to "January, 1995". City Administrator
Peterson stated also that additional language addressing how the various
zoning districts are developed limiting the C-3 zoning district to one
preliminary platting phase, and the remaining zoning districts to no more
than two preliminary plats, has been included in Paragraph C. on Page 5.
Mayor Cuda also noted that in the Title I section on Page 4,
Paragraph B. and on Page 5, Paragraph C. , the City requires that the
property may not be developed before being platted. It is understood
that during this platting process, road extensions, drainage issues,
engineering studies, setback, landscaping and architectural reviews are
addressed and determined. Also during this process, there is ample time
for public review and input. Mayor Cuda also reported that a contract
for the purchase of the Edna Mae Johnson property has been signed, and
the closing is scheduled for next Thursday, September 29th.
Alderman Bates asked for clarification regarding the blanks on Page 1
in the Recitals section, as well as Paragraphs G. , H. , and L. on Page 2.
He received acceptable clarification.
In response to Alderman Baird's query, City Administrator Peterson
explained that although part of the roads are presently served by Nunda
Township, once the annexation of this property occurs, all roadways to
their . far boundaries fall within the City of McHenry's jurisdictional
responsibility, and the Township is so notified.
City Attorney McArdle then reviewed the Title II section noting two
corrections: (1) on Page 11, Paragraphs A. , B. , and C. will be deleted,
as the access points are designated on the Master Plan; (2) on Page 12,
Number 2. , the reference to the temporary road being dedicated to the
City is incorrect, and will be modified. The City will not be -
responsible for the road during the construction because of maintenance
and liability concerns.
City Attorney McArdle noted on Page 12, that the owners agreed to
comply with landscape ordinance requirements, but have not agreed to any
extraordinary landscaping, particularly along the south side of the
existing Municipal Center and the southern boundary of the Green Valley
subdivision. Paragraph I. on Page 17, restricts the multi-family units
to those primarily owned by the resident and not leased to a third
person. It is noted in Paragraph J. on Page 17 that although the owners
have agreed to setbacks in accordance with the City's Zoning Ordinance,
they feel the 200-foot setback requested by staff is unreasonable.
Paragraph K. on Page 18 allows for the maintenance and repair of existing
structures on the property until development occurs,
September 21, 1994 Page 5
City Administrator Peterson then noted that inadvertantly the Library
Operational Fees had not been included, and should be added to Section
A. , Number 5. on Page 7. Also, on Page 9, the referenced "open space" in
line 1 should not be construed to be "public land", but be used for
stormwater management facilities for the adjacent parcels lying west of
Green Street owned and maintained by the petitioner. City Administrator
Peterson also noted that Page 13 of the agreement includes an allowable
recapture agreement for the petitioners. Some discussion followed
regarding development fees. Alderman Locke requested clarification of
Paragraph I. on Page 17, particulary the phrase "primarily owned". City
Attorney McArdle explained that the language was an attempt to restrict
the development of rental apartment units. Discussion followed.
Alderman Locke suggested the word "primarily" be stricken. Attorney
Curran stated he would discuss this issue with the petitioners during the
next recess.
Alderman Bates suggested a reduction in the density from 14 units per
acre to 8 units per acre. Discussion followed. It was the consensus of
the Mayor and Council that the density remain at 14 units per acre.
Paragraph J. 0-2 Setback, on Page 17, was then addressed. City
Administrator Peterson explained that the owners have agreed to setbacks
in accordance with the City's Zoning Ordinance, however, they feel the
200-foot setback requested by staff is unreasonable. Staff's concern was
that as the office buildings east of the Municipal Center get taller,
they will have a negative "looming" effect on the Municipal Center. The
200-foot setback will correct this potential problem, and help alleviate
a walled corridor affect.
Ted Johnson responded for the petitioners, stating that this
particular parcel cannot accomodate a 200-foot setback without
substantially reducing the development permitted. He also noted that the
existing zoning ordinance require deeper setbacks for taller buildings.
Further discussion followed regarding building height restrictions.
Mr. Johnson noted that the highest floor level he could build, maximizing
the space and meeting City setback, parking, and landscaping requirements
would be a five-story building.
City Administrator Peterson also noted that the City has been
requiring a 2' or 3' landscaping berm to help mitigate setback concerns.
All landscaping requirements are subject to Council review. City
Attorney McArdle pointed out that the review would be limited to the
ordinance requirements. Any additional criteria must, be stipulated in
this agreement. Discussion continued.
Mayor Cuda requested the petitioner's attorney to discuss this issue
at the next recess and determine a setback further than 30' if possible.
City Administrator Peterson then noted that Paragraph P. on Page 19,
prohibits the issuance of a building permit _on any parcel until the
requirements of the City's Subdivision Control Ordinance have been fully
met.
Alderman Bates asked for clarification on Pige 17, Paragraph K. City
Attorney McArdle explained that non-conforming use restrictions cannot be
imposed by the zoning ordinances on the existing buildings and/or
property. At this time Alderman Bates requested a review of the
agreement from the beginning, page by page.
It was noted on Page 3, Paragraph A. , that the SF2 Parcel should have
an RS-2 zoning classification. The time frame of property development in
relation to the construction of the Bull Valley bypass was discussed. A
suggestion was made to prohibit any development on this property until
construction of the Bull Valley bypass begins. Attorney Curran noted at
this time, with regard to the multi-family units and the language
"primarily owned", that the petitioners would agree to a condominium
declaration. The Council felt this would be an acceptable solution to
`- the problem. Discussion continued regarding the definition of "beginning
construction". Mayor Cuda requested Attorney Curran discuss with the
petitioners the issue of prohibiting development until the construction
of the Bull Valley bypass begins.
Clarification of Page 7, 2. noted that the location of the referenced
signal would be at the intersection of Bull Valley Road and Green
Street. The pro rata basis will be paid by the individual developers and
be based on the number of acreage they own in relation to the total
number of this parcel's acreage.
September 21, 1994 Page 6
Alderman Bates noted on Page 9, Paragraph 2 an absence of a park
donation. Discussion followed noting that it was the petitioner's
understanding that the donation of open space was in lieu of a park
donation. As the Army Corps of Engineers requested that a public body
own the remainder of the wetlands or open space, determination must be
made by the Council if this open space is in fact a donation. Discussion
continued.
Mayor Cuda called for a recess at 11:55 P.M. The meeting reconvened
at 12:10 A.M. with everyone still in attendance.
The three outstanding issues to be addressed were setbacks, park
donation, and the development of the property in relation to the
construction of the Bull Valley bypass.
Attorney Curran suggested the following compromise: development with
no time restriction can occur on the single family parcel south of the
Green Valley subdivision and on 50% of the Green Street office parcels,
with the rest of the :development being prohibited until construction of
the Bull Valley bypass is assured. Determination was made that "assured"
or "beginning construction" occurs when the contract bids are let for .�
construction of the Bull Valley bypass.
Ted Johnson addressed the setback issue. His proposal was a 75'
building setback along Green Street, unless some agency imposes a 75' or
greater setback along the east boundaries, at which time the setback is
to be renegotiated. Discussion followed. It was understood that the
building setbacks can never be less than the present building code
allows.
Attorney Curran suggested a $212.00 park donation fee for all
dwellings, regardless of the number of bedrooms. It is also understood
that for the purposes of this agreement, the $212.00 is a partial parks
donation fee, as open land and/or space is also being donated to the City
by the petitioners.
Motion by Lawson, seconded by Bolger, to pass an ordinance approving
the Busch/Knox Annexation Agreement and authoring the Mayor and City
Clerk to execute the Agreement; to pass an ordinance annexing the
Busch/Knox property; and to pass an ordinance zoning the Busch/Knox
property. RS-2, RM-1, C-3, 0-1, 0-2, E-Estate (open space) and amending
the City's Comprehensive Plan as to 0-2 Office in residential and C-3 "1
Commercial in Office, subject to the revisions discussed and to be
included in the final draft of the Agreement prepared by the City
Attorney, and approved by the Mayor and City Council.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Locke, Lawson, Baird, Cuda.
Voting Nay: Bates.
Absent: None.
Motion carried.
Attorney McArdle explained that he would make the changes, highlight
them in grey, and send out the amended agreement to the Mayor and
Aldermen for their review. If no comments are forthcoming in the
designated time frame, the Mayor and Clerk will execute the Agreement.

project.
