June 21, 1995 Page 6 INLAND BUSINESS PARK - ANNEXATION, ZONING and PRELIMINARY PLAT City Administrator Peterson explained Council had considered the annexation and zoning of the Inland Business Park at its April 29, 1995 meeting. All issues discussed at that time had been incorporated into a revised annexation agreement distributed for Council review on Friday, June 16, 1995 . Only two items remain for further discussion: (1) The landscape entrances at Crystal Lake and Bull Valley Roads should be limited to 2001 , keeping the larger right-of-way at 4001 ; the annexation agreement currently reflects 2501 . Council and Inland representatives agreed to the change . (2) The roadway extension from Lot 54 to the Irish Prairie development . City Administrator Peterson, noting the correspondence received from the Irish Prairie Homeowner' s Association and the Cunat Brothers stating their objection to the plan, recommended that the City not attempt to provide additional access to the private roads serving Irish Prairie residents . At the request of Alderman Baird, it was suggested that the Public Works Committee look into a possible resolution to this problem. Other recommended changes to the annexation agreement and agreed to by Inland representatives include : - On page 17, Number 4 : the inclusion of language stating that if on or before the designated three-year period the City of McHenry gives written information that a bypass road will be constructed, the 150-foot right-of-way necessary as generally depicted in Exhibit C and in accordance with engineering studies to be done by the County, will be preserved. - On page 11, Section 5-Development in Phases, line 14 : the phrase "on-site stormwater detention improvements" will be followed by language stating "unless the City directs off- site stormwater detention improvements to a regional detention area" . - Under Title 3 , Section 10-Obligations of the Owners : language referencing the letter dated June 14 , 1995 from Pastor Robert N. Sherry of the Church of Holy Apostles to the City Council addressing their concerns regarding recapture agreement fees and signage regulations . Motion by Bolger, seconded by Lawson, to pass an ordinance authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the annexation agreement relating to property owned by the American National Bank and Trust Company as Trustee under Trust Agreement dated September 27, 1993 , and known as Trust No. 117509-08 .

Voting Aye : Bolger, Locke, Bates, Lawson, Baird. Voting Nay: None . Absent : None . Motion carried. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT - REVISED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURES City Administrator Peterson explained Council had previously considered text amendments to the City' s Zoning Ordinance regarding the process to be used for reviewing planned unit development projects . Subsequently, a revised Planned Unit Development Ordinance was prepared by planning consultant Allen Kracower, along with input from the City Attorney and City staff . The City' s Zoning Ordinance stipulates any changes to the written procedures must come before the Zoning Board of Appeals in the form of a public hearing process with a recommendation back to the Council . Changes to the Planned Unit Development Ordinance recommended by the Zoning Boardwere distributed for Council review. - The Zoning Board recommended that major adjustments "shall" rather than "may" be referred to the Zoning Board for "public hearing" , rather than "review and recommendation" . It was Council' s consensus that referrals would be done at the discretion of Council and the word "may" shall be retained. - The Zoning Board recommended the elimination of a non-binding master site plan substituting the master site plan with a binding preliminary plan. After a lengthy discussion, it was the consensus of Council to retain the master plan submittal . Staff was directed to create the criteria for inclusions in the master plan submittal . The criteria will then be reviewed by the Zoning Board of Appeals and sent to Council for comment . - The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended the elimination of the terminology "special use" as referred to in the Planned Unit Development and the substitution of the language "conditional use" . The Zoning Board indicated this would be consistent with the terminology used throughout the rest of the Zoning Ordinance. Council concurred. - The Zoning Board recommended the inclusion of a court reporter to take complete transcripts of the proceedings at various stages of the review process . Council concurred. Some discussion followed regarding the role of the Plan Commission during this process . City Administrator Peterson noted the Plan Commission is involved in the P.U.D. process if the subdivision of a property occurs . He also noted the Plan Commission Chairperson is part of the technical review process . Alderman Bates stated he had several concerns he wished to address regarding the revised P.U.D. Ordinance . He requested, citing the lateness of the hour, this item be deferred to the July 5, 1995 meeting as item number 1 on the agenda. Council concurred. COMPUTER BIDS - PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT City Administrator Peterson explained that bids for the purchase of computer hardware for the Parks and Recreation Department were opened on June 2, 1995 with five bids submitted. Two of the bids were incomplete. During the bidding process, it was brought to staff' s attention that the bid specifications were not totally appropriate for the needs of the City of McHenry. As all bidders did not have the same information and the bid revision should reduce costs, it was staff' s recommendation that the bids be rejected and that new bids be sought for the purchase of computer hardware . June 21, 1995 Page 8 Motion by Lawson, seconded by Bates, to reject the bids for the purchase of computer hardware for the Parks and Recreation Department and rebid for the purchase of computer hardware for the Parks and Recreation Department, with revised specifications . Voting Aye : Bolger, Locke, Bates, Lawson, Baird. Voting Nay: None. Absent : None. Motion carried. REQUEST TO NAME LAKELAND PARK BASEBALL FIELD THE FRANK SWEENEY FIELD AND HAVE IT PLAQUED AS SUCH Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee, Alderman Bates, reported that a request was brought before the Parks and Recreation Committee by a representative of the Lakeland Park Little League Association requesting the Committee consider naming the Lakeland Park Baseball Field the Frank Sweeney Field, as Mr. Sweeney was instrumental in the establishment of the Lakeland Park baseball program. They requested the action to take place before their August 8, 1995 annual picnic . The Parks and Recreation Committee voted 3-0 to recommend Council rename the Lakeland Park Baseball Field the Frank Sweeney Field. Alderman Bolger requested this item be deferred to the July 5, 1995 meeting to do additional research. Motion by Bates, seconded by Locke, to defer any action on the naming of the Lakeland Park Baseball Field the Frank Sweeney Field to the July 5, 1995 regularly scheduled Council meeting. Voting Aye : Bolger, Locke, Bates, Lawson, Baird. Voting Nay: None . Absent : None . Motion carried.
