CONSENT AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: John R. Birk, Chief of Police
FOR: December 2, 2024 Regular City Council meeting
RE: Authorization for the Mayor to enter into an agreement allowing the Police to
enforce certain Illinois Vehicle Code violations and City Code violations on private
roads within the Abbey Ridge Condominiums of McHenry Association.
ATT: 1. Copy of Abbey Ridge Condominiums of McHenry Association Enforcement
Agreement
2. Ordinance Amendment, Amending Title 7: Motor Vehicles and Traffic; Chapter 4:
Parking Regulations, Section 7-4-9: No Parking At Any Time.
Agenda Item Summary:
Staff is seeking City Council’s authorization to (1) authorize the Mayor to execute a parking enforcement
and traffic enforcement agreement with the Abbey Ridge Condominiums of McHenry Association (HOA)
and (2) authorize an amendment to Title 7: Motor Vehicles and Traffic; Chapter 4: Parking Regulations,
Section 7-4-9: No Parking At Any Time. Staff is present to answer any questions Council may have.
Background:
In early fall 2024, Staff was approached by the Executive Board of the HOA with a request to consider
traffic enforcement on their two private roads, Cobblers Crossing and Whitaker Trail. Currently these
two roads are private property. Specifically, the association was looking for assistance with the
enforcement of:
1. No Parking – Fire Lane at the end of Cobblers Crossing
2. No Parking on one side of the street (Whitaker Trail and Cobblers Crossing)
3. General Illinois Vehicle Code moving violations: speeding, stop sign violations and failure to
yield violations.
Analysis:
Staff met on site to examine the area and determine feasibility for this request. Upon inspection the no
parking for the fire lane at the end of Cobblers Crossing and no parking on one side of the street for both
Cobblers Crossing and Whitaker Trail was already signed and being enforced by the HOA. Staff agrees
with the HOA Board that these parking restrictions help to ensure the safety of the residents in the
neighborhood. Staff also supports being able to enforce Illinois Vehicle Code violations such as
speeding, failure to yield and stop sign violations and feels that this will help ensure the safety of the area.
Attached Council will find a completed agreement drafted by ZRFM Law allowing the police to enforce
these topics on Whitaker Trail and Cobblers Crossing. This agreement has already been approved by the
Execuitve Board of the HOA. In addition, Council will find the attached Ordinance amending Title 7:
Motor Vehicles and Traffic; Chapter 4: Parking Regulations, Section 7-4-9: No Parking At Any Time, by
adding Cobblers Crossing and Whitaker Trail to the list of streets.
Staff is seeking Council’s authorization for the Mayor to enter into this agreement with the HOA and
authorization to amend section 7-4-9: No Parking At Any Time of the City Code.
Recommendation:
If Council concurs, then it is recommended authorization be provided for (1) the Mayor to sign and
execute the attached parking enforcement and traffic enforcement agreement with the Abbey Ridge
Condominiums of McHenry Association and (2) authorize the attached Ordinance amending City Code
Title 7: Motor Vehicles and Traffic; Chapter 4: Parking Regulations, Section 7-4-9: No Parking At Any
Time, by adding Cobblers Crossing and Whitaker Trail to the list of streets.
ORDINANCE NO. 24-
Amending Title 7: Motor Vehicles and Traffic; Chapter 4: Parking Regulations,
Section 7-4-9: No Parking At Any Time, of the McHenry City Code
WHEREAS, the City of McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois, is a home rule
municipality as contemplated under Article VII, Section 6, of the Constitution of the State of
Illinois, and the passage of this Ordinance constitutes an exercise of the City's home rule
powers and functions as granted in the Constitution of the State of Illinois.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of
McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois, as follows:
SECTION 1: Section 7-4-9, of the Municipal Code relating to No Parking at Any
Time, shall be amended by adding the following street to the table as follows:
7-4-9: NO PARKING AT ANY TIME:
Cobblers Crossing On west side and north side of the street
Whitaker Trail On east side of the street
SECTION 2: If any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, sentence or provision of

AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FOR: December 2, 2024 City Council Meeting
FROM: Cody Sheriff, City Planner
RE: Ordinance Annexing approximately 9.60 Acres of Unincorporated Tracts of Land
in McHenry County, Illinois
ATT:
1. Ordinance Annexing an 9.60-Acre tract of land in McHenry County, Illinois
SUMMARY:
On April 15, 2024, the City Council authorized staff to begin the process of annexing properties
located on or near Orchard Beach Road that are wholly surrounded by the City and consisting of
60 acres or less. This was as a result of multiple property owners with existing pre-annexation
agreements becoming contiguous to City limits. In total, the proposed Ordinance would annex
16 properties consisting of 9.60 acres.
BACKGROUND:
The City began receiving requests for annexation of unincorporated property located along
Orchard Beach Road starting in 2002. At the time, Riverside Hollow Subdivision was newly
constructed, which extended new water and sewer service stubs into Orchard Beach Road. City
Ordinance requires unincorporated property owners to annex into the City of McHenry to
connect to City services. The Ordinance also allows property owners to connect without
annexing but requires a 3/4ths super-majority City Council vote in addition to paying 1.5 times
utility rates.
There were several challenges to annexation for property located on Orchard Beach Road. The
road was classified as a nondedicated road and was in very poor condition. The other challenge
was that because it was a nondedicated road, it was classified as a barrier to annexation. This left
property owners with only the option of entering into pre-annexation agreements, which require
properties to annex upon becoming contiguous in exchange for City services. Since 2002, the City
has entered into pre-annexation agreements with 6 properties along Orchard Beach Road.

In 2023, the McHenry Township Highway Commissioner initiated roadway improvements to
Orchard Beach Road using Motor Fuel Tax funds and took possession of the road. As a result,
Orchard Beach Road is now classified as a public highway. This change in legal status of the
roadway was reviewed by the City’s attorney, who determined the parcels are now considered
contiguous. Additionally, the road condition has now been improved, with an anticipated life
cycle of 15-20 years until further significant maintenance will be required.
A total of 16 properties are part of this current discussion: six (6) have executed pre-annexation
agreements that require annexation upon becoming contiguous, and one (1) property that
connected with no pre-annexation agreement (1828 Orchard Beach Rd). Also note that two (2)
of the executed pre-annexation agreements have since expired.
With the change in the legal status and improved physical condition of the roadway, the City
Council chose to begin the process of annexing the wholly surrounded properties. Survey work
was completed at the end of October with mail notification letters sent to the property owners
on November 4, 2024.
If the City Council Concurs, it is recommended that the attached Ordinance Annexing
approximately 9.60 Acres of Unincorporated Tracts of Land in McHenry County, Illinois be
approved (Mayor-City Council Vote, Simple Majority).

Unified Development Ordinance
Approved in the 24/25 budget year is the creation of a Unified Development Ordinance or
UDO. A UDO is a set of ordinances that combines regulations for land and building
development into one document. Some of the City of McHenry’s zoning ordinances are original
from 1986 and are in dire need of updating. Now that the comprehensive plan is complete and
adopted city staff will begin to develop a request for proposals (RFP) to seek out qualified firms
to create the UDO. The results will come before the city council for consideration early 2025.
December Planning and Zoning
The December agenda for planning and zoning will have one item, 1411 Richmond Road is
petitioning to remain a two flat in a single-family zoning. This property was recently sold, and
this gives the opportunity for the city to document and clean up the zoning file so it is a
conforming property.
Castle Automotive
Staff received plans for a new Subaru dealership building at Castle Automotive. Currently
Subaru and Kia share a building, Subaru will be moving into the new building and KIA will stay in
the current building and remodel.
PARKS & RECREATION
Contact: Bill Hobson, Director of Parks & Recreation – 815/363-2159
Ice Rink at Miller Point Park
The ice rink at Miller Point Park was installed prior to the Christmas Walk festivities in
downtown last weekend however the weather was not cooperative enough for the system to
make thick enough ice for the rink to be usable. Staff has been working on the rink this past
week. With colder temperatures in the forecast, the hope is to have the rink ready to go by
Friday December 6th.
Riverwalk
All of the railing for Phase 4 of the Riverwalk were installed. Staff is working with the general
contractor and the engineer to address some abnormalities in the powder coat finish on some
of the railings.
New Pickleball Courts at Knox Park
The concrete expansion of the new courts was installed with the help of the Public Works
Department. The concrete needed time to cure which has put off the painting of the
courts. The colder weather will force the project’s completion until the Spring.
Cold Springs Park
As a part of the volunteer efforts on an ecological restoration at Cold Springs Park, 7 oak tree
whips were planted by The Land Conservancy in the area adjacent to the parking lot off DePaul
Court.
PUBLIC WORKS
Contact: Russ Adams, Public Works – 815/363-2205
• In preparation for the 2025 road resurfacing program, Street & Utility Division crews
installed and completed 88 full replacements of ADA-compliant concrete ramps. In
previous years, crews averaged 50 ADA replacements…a record number of 88 this year!
• Crews began winter fire hydrant maintenance, installing flags and checking for proper
barrel drainage on each hydrant.
• On November 14th, snow fence installation began in preparation for the winter snow
season.
• The Street & Utility Division repaired a broken watermain at 5424 Sherman Drive
throughout the night, beginning after-hours on Sunday, November 17th and extending
through the daytime hours on Monday, November 18th.
• Wastewater operator Adam Cashmore submitted his application for IEPA Class 1 licensure
and has been issued a Class 1 certificate. The Class 1 Wastewater License is the highest
level of certification offered by the IEPA. This brings the total number of Class 1 operators
in the Wastewater Division to three. The City of McHenry’s NPDES permit requires that
the treatment plant be operated under the supervision of an IEPA Class 1 Operator.
• Wastewater personnel changed out a failed pump at the Donovan St. lift station and at
the Diamond Dr. lift station. Both pumps have been repaired and returned to our stand-
by inventory for future deployment.
• Water Tower #4 located at Crystal Lake Road and Bull Valley Road has been painted,
disinfected, filled, tested, and put back into service. The aviation light bulbs are scheduled
to be replaced on Monday, November 25th. We are still experiencing a SCADA
communication loss from the tower and are working to resolve the issue with the
contractor and Robinson Engineering. This communication loss is not critical to operations
at this time.
• The project to replace the motor control center (MCC) at Water Treatment Plant #2 on
Beach Road is scheduled to begin on Monday, December 2nd. The water treatment plant
will be out of service during this project which is anticipated to last a week.
• The parking lot lighting for the South Main Street Parking Lot project has been installed
by the contractor and is fully operational. The project is 100% complete. A final invoice
with waivers was processed in the amount of $237,610.08 which is $17,215.40 under the
bid amount.
• A Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Parking Study of our downtown areas was issue to five
(5) perspective engineering firms. Each of the five firms has a specialization in evaluating
parking needs in a downtown setting. The proposals are due to the City in December.
• Staff previously completed an application to the Department of Commerce and Economic
