FROM: Chief John Birk
RE: District 15 Parking Lot Expansions: Duker School & Riverwood School
______________________________________________________________________________
Director Polerecky,
At your request the McHenry Police Department conducted a review of the parking lot expansion
plans for both Duker School and Riverwood School as they relate to traffic flow and roadway
safety.
Upon a review of plans the Police Department provides the following feedback.
Riverwood School:
District 15 is proposing a parking lot expansion on the southeast side of Riverwood School. In
reviewing these plans the expansion would allow for additional stacking of busses or vehicles on
the Riverwood School property during drop off / pickup times. Primary access to this portion of
the parking lot is off of the Glenbrook Trail entry/egress.
This parking lot expansion would help to prevent the following:
1. Vehicle or Buses standing or stopping on the roadway (on Glenbrook) while waiting to
get onto the school property.
Opinion:
The Police Department feels that this parking lot expansion would increase traffic safety on
Glenbrook Trail for vehicles traveling on the roadway, vehicle entering and leaving private
driveways and pedestrian traffic.
Duker School:
District 15 is proposing a parking lot expansion on the southwest side of the Duker School
Property. This expansion includes adding an entry/egress off of Grove Avenue, adding an
additional 37 parking spaces and implementing a new drive lane for student drop-off pick-up
practices.
Currently students are dropped off at Duker School (non-bus riders) via the Oak Avenue drop off
or they are dropped off on Kane Avenue directly in front of the school. On average one hundred
and thirty-five vehicles drop-off and pick-up students daily between the Oak Avenue location
and Kane Avenue in front of the school.
Currently Kane Avenue on-street parking spaces are also occupied by faculty of Duker School.
The current issues observed by police staff include:
1. Significant congestion on Kane Avenue causing increased traffic safety risks. This
congestion is linked to:
• Bus drop-off / pick-up for Duker School and Edgebrook School.
• Student drop-off / pick-up at Edgebrook School.
• Student drop-off / pick-up at Duker School.
• Occupied on-street parking spaces by faculty.
• Cut through traffic between Green Street and Il. Route 31.
2. Significant congestion on Oak Avenue causing traffic safety risks. This congestion is
linked to:
• Limited available vehicle stacking space in the rear Duker School parking lot
causing vehicle to stack up on Oak Avenue, up to and sometime beyond Center
Street.
• The current traffic flow requires vehicle to enter the rear parking lot via Oak
Avenue and exit the rear parking lot via Oak Avenue as well.
Opinion:
The Police Department feels that the expansion of the rear Duker School parking lot and
installation of a new entry/egress off of Grove Avenue would notably improve the traffic flow in
and around the school and would increase traffic safety. These enhancements would allow for
all student drop-off and pick-up at Duker School to occur in the rear of the school by utilizing a
designated traffic flow patterning the optimizes traffic flow between Grove Avenue and Oak
Avenue. In addition, the new parking spaces would allow faculty to park on the property and not
on the roadway off of Kane Avenue.
If I can answer any further questions or be of any further assistance please feel free to contact
me.
Sincerely,
Chief John R. Birk

1. Project developed in accordance with the approved site plan and landscape plan.
2. Alternative points of access and circulation patterns should be discussed between the school
district and the City, particularly the police department, to ensure the safe and efficient
movement of traffic to and from the site especially during peak hours.
3. Current parent drop-off/pick-up lane should be reevaluated to ensure adequate stacking.
4. Modified signal timings on area signals should be considered to reduce congestion.
5. A pedestrian connection from the sidewalk along the west side of crystal lake Road into the
high school is required.
6. Vehicular and bus access onto West Oakwood Drive should be considered, northbound only for
vehicles to access the traffic light at Royal Drive.

the adjacent driveway.
CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Conditional Use Permits, listed in §11-15-5 of the
City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance
STAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The Subject Property is zoned RS-3, Medium High-Density Single Family Residential District, and is approved
for a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly Use for the operation of the existing High School. The primary
concern is how the parking lot will impact the adjoining residential property.
Per the City’s Zoning Ordinance, the School District will be required provide a 3-foot tall, canopy-canopy,
evergreen screening, or appropriate substitute, along with 1, 7-foot-tall shade tree every 30 lineal feet of
parking lot perimeter. The proposed parking lot is also incompliance with the minimum required 25-foot
setback. The school district has indicated their intent to design the landscaping to be incompliance with the
City’s Landscape Ordinance and staff have included this as a condition of approval. Given the conformance of
the project with the City’s Zoning Ordinance, staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts on the adjoining
property owners.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Vision 2050 Comprehensive Plan – Future Land Use Map’s character area is defined as Conservation
Residential Development which requires residential land uses, that may be a mix of housing types, be
arranged around large open spaces that serve as amenities for residents. Schools are an amenity for residents
and serve a variety of public and private entities and allow for large amounts of public open space. Therefore,
staff believes the schools request is in compliance with the intent of the Future Land Use Map’s
recommendation.
VISION 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BIG IDEAS & GOALS
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Vision 2050 Comprehensive
Plan. Staff comments italicized.
DESIRED OUTCOMES - Family-oriented
"McHenry will balances its growth with a commitment to vibrant public amenities. In the year 2050, families
in McHenry will enjoy a wide variety of attainable housing choices, high quality public schools, affordable
entertainment downtown, indoor sports such as track and swimming pool, and mixed-use developments
with public plazas to neighborhood parks." (p. 73)
Staff believes approval of the requested parking lot expansion could be viewed as supporting high quality
public schools by relieving parking lot congestion for the school district’s employees.
Action 1.3.2: Locate new developments in proximity to existing infrastructure, services, and amenities such
as utilities, street network, parks, emergency services, schools and libraries.
Staff believes approval of the requested expansion of the parking lot could be viewed as supportive of an
existing public amenity (the school) to provide a more comfortable parking environment for its employees.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
• Parking. There is no proposed expansion of the existing principal building(s), the school district only
desires to add additional parking spaces to provide additional relief from parking lot congestion for its
employees and visitors.
STAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS.
• Although there are no specific recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan that are applicable to
the proposed expansion, staff believes approval of the request would be supporting a high-quality
public school by relieving parking lot congestion for District 156 employees.
• The school district has indicated in their application their intent to comply with all ordinance
requirements for the proposed parking lot expansion. Staff does not believe the request would
generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding property owners.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following motion is
recommended:
MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to
allow a parking lot expansion, subject to the following conditions:
1. The Property Owner shall submit a landscape plan in conformance with the City of McHenry Landscaping
and Screening Ordinance to be approved at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator.
2. All development on site shall be in accordance with the submitted plans.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Conditional Use Permits have been met
as outlined in the staff report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR CONDITIONAL USES (§11-15-5). Staff comments italicized below.
A. Traffic: Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the zoning
district has been minimized.
School district is not proposing any expansion of the existing use and is only proposing a change to the
site plan to accommodate additional parking to relieve congestion.
B. Environmental Nuisance: Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste disposal, blockage of
light or air, or other adverse environmental effects of a type or degree not characteristic of
permitted uses in the zoning district, have been appropriately controlled.
Staff does not believe the proposed request would generate any environmental nuisances.
C. Neighborhood Character: The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or
manmade character of its surroundings, and with permitted uses in the zoning district. The use will
not have undue deleterious effect on the environmental quality, property values, or neighborhood
character already existing in the area or normally associated with permitted uses in the district.
The surrounding area consists primarily of residential land use. Given the proposed expansion will
comply with the City’s setback and landscape regulations, staff believes the proposed expansion will fit
harmoniously with the existing character of the area.
D. Public Services and Facilities: The proposed use will not require existing community facilities or
services to a degree disproportionate to that normally expected of permitted uses in the district, nor
generate disproportionate demand for new services or facilities, in such a way as to place undue
burdens upon existing development in the area.
The site is currently serviced by city water and sanitary sewer.
E. Public Safety and Health: The proposed use will not be detrimental to the safety or health of the
employees, patrons, or visitors associated with the use nor of the general public in the vicinity.
Staff believes the proposed use would not endanger local public health and safety within the vicinity of
the subject property.
F. Other Factors: The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility pertinent to
the conditional use and its particular location.
Attachments: 1) Petitioner’s Application and attachments. 2) Receipt of publication of legal notice.

Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY
The applicant, School District 15, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to accommodate the
expansion of the parking lot by 31 parking spaces and add a new vehicular ingress/egress to Grove Avenue for
Duker and Edgebrook School. The project is proposed to help alleviate the congestion felt on both Oak Avenue
and Kane Avenue and to allow employees to park behind the school as opposed to Kane Avenue. The project
would also involve the removal of the southernmost baseball field.
Currently, buses for both schools enter/exit the front from Kane Avenue which will not be changing. However,
the school district is hoping that relocating employee parking on Kane Avenue to the new parking spaces will
help provide some relief of the roadway congestion. Parent pick-up/drop-off for Edgebrook School will also
not be changing and will remain on Kane Avenue.
The principal change involves the new parent pick-up/drop-off access that will be located on Grove Avenue for
Duker Elementary School. Currently, both parent pick-up and drop-off occurs on Oak Avenue and often
involves a 3-point turn into the parking lot for larger vehicles (Purple Line) with the current stacking plan.
The new access would allow cars to enter on Grove Avenue, navigate through the parking lot to the parent
pick up area, and exit onto Oak Avenue. The new proposed access should help alleviate much of the
bottleneck issues occurring on site, eliminate the 3-point turn required for larger vehicles, and help reduce the
pickup time window. The new plan does leave open the possibility of continuing to allow access on Oak and
merge into the parent pick up lane which would allow some additional stacking spaces in the parking lot (see
image above).
Access from Oak to the parking lot is being
analyzed to allow maximum stacking space.
The plan also involves the removal of the existing City of McHenry gate (see image below). The City has an
easement on the School District’s property to access and maintain the existing sanitary lift station located on
the southwest corner of the property. The gate would be relocated further south to prevent unauthorized
parking/access.
CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Conditional Use Permits, listed in §11-15-5 of the
City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance
STAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The Subject Property is zoned RS-3, Medium High-Density Single Family Residential District, and is approved
for a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly Use for the operation of the existing Duker and Edgebrook
Elementary School. The primary concern is how the parking lot’s new access will impact the adjoining
residential properties.
Per the City’s Zoning Ordinance, the School District will be required provide a 3-foot tall, canopy-canopy,
evergreen screening, or appropriate substitute, along with 1, 7-foot-tall shade tree every 30 lineal feet of
parking lot perimeter. The proposed parking lot is also incompliance with the minimum required 10-foot
interior side yard setback. The school district has indicated their intent to design the landscaping to be
incompliance with the City’s Landscape Ordinance and staff have included this as a condition of approval.
The school district is working with the McHenry Police Department on a car staging plan to navigate the new
parking lot. Staff has included as a condition of approval that the School District shall continue to work with
the McHenry Police Department to resolve or modify the stacking configuration of the parking lot.
The largest impact will most likely involve the property owners of the homes along Grove Avenue. Given the
existing challenges the school faces, staff believes there is an argument that the public benefit outweighs the
hardship imposed on the adjoining residential homes. The impact would also only be limited to certain time
periods during the day. The School District has limited options to address pick-up/drop-off issues without
acquiring property. Staff believes this is most likely the best solution to an already challenging situation.
Staff have been in contact with some of the property owners and they have requested a gate remain at the
entrance. Most residents seem to understand the situation on Oak Drive necessitates a secondary access. High
School football game attendees often utilize the parking lot at Duker and Edgebrook. Residents have indicated
to staff their desire that access be limited to only the elementary school drop off and pick up time. Staff’s
primary concern would be cars that would drive down Oak would inevitably need to make a 3-point turn into
the residential driveways if there was a gate. However, this could be for a short amount of time as the
community learns the new expansion will not remain open to the public. The Commission should discuss
whether it believes gated access should be included. Staff has included as a condition of approval that the
Property Owner shall install a gated access on Grove Avenue that shall remain closed when the school is not in
operation.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Vision 2050 Comprehensive Plan – Future Land Use Map Walkable Residential Development which is
defined as areas that represent older and historic neighborhoods that should remain mostly residential.
Generally, single family homes are appropriate here and they should be connected with sidewalks, safe
streets, and bike routes where possible. Downtown walkable residential features smaller lot sizes and may
have more homes with multiple units. Schools are an amenity for residents and serve a variety of public and
private entities and allow for large amounts of public open space. Therefore, staff believes the schools request
is in compliance with the intent of the Future Land Use Map’s recommendation.

STAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS.
• Although there are no specific recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan that are applicable to
the proposed expansion, staff believes approval of the request would be supporting a local amenity by
relieving parking and stacking congestion.
• The school district has indicated in their application to comply with all ordinance requirements for the
proposed parking lot expansion. Staff does not believe the requested parking lot expansion would
generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding property owners.
• The primary concern is the new access on Grove Avenue. Local residents have indicated their desires
for a gate to remain at the entrance to the parking lot when the school is not in operation. Staff have
included as a condition of approval that Property Owner shall provide gated access to the parking lot
on Grove Avenue that shall remain closed when the school is not in operation.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following motion is
recommended:
MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to
accommodate an expansion of the parking lot, and add a new access drive off Grove Avenue, subject to the
following conditions:
1. All development on site shall be in accordance with the submitted plans.
2. The School District shall provide gated access to the parking lot on Grove Avenue that shall open at the
beginning of the school day and closed by the end of the school day.
3. The School District shall continue to work with the City of McHenry to modify plans as needed for student
pick up and drop off to alleviate congestion on local roads.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Conditional Use Permits have been met
as outlined in the staff report.

Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY
The applicant, School District 15, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to accommodate the
expansion of the parking lot to add an additional bus lane.
Currently, bus pick up/drop off (shown in
dark blue) is in the front of the building on
Driftwood Trail. Parent pick up/drop off
(shown in red) enters on Glenbrook Trail
and exits onto Driftwood Trail. This often
leads to conflict with the buses entering on
Driftwood Trail with stacking/back up
occurring into the intersection of Glenbrook
Trail and Driftwood Trail to the west.
As a result of the expansion, bus pick up/drop off will be relocated to the back (southeast) parking lot with the
addition of a new bus lane. Buses would enter and exit from Glenbrook Trail. Parent pick up/drop off would
enter/exit on Driftwood Trail in the front.
CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Conditional Use Permits, listed in §11-15-5 of the
City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance
STAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The Subject Property is zoned RS-3 Medium High-Density Single Family Residential District and is approved for
a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly Use for the operation of the existing Riverwood Elementary School.
The primary concern is how the new bus and parent pick up/drop off configuration will impact the adjoining
property owners.
The proposed configuration does not resolve the stacking of cars into local roads but it should prevent busses
from being in conflict with parent pick up/drop off by allowing all busses to be accommodated on site. This
outcome is preferable since it is less difficult for drivers to navigate around single occupancy vehicles in the
roadway as opposed to larger school buses. Overall, staff anticipates this new configuration should provide
some relief to the current traffic congestion. Similar to the other school district developments, staff is
including a condition of approval that the School District shall continue to work with the McHenry Police
Department to resolve or modify the stacking configuration of the parking lot as needed.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Vision 2050 Comprehensive Plan – Future Land Use Map recommends Conservation Residential
Development which require the residential land uses which may be a mix of housing types be arranged around
large open spaces that serve as amenities for residents. Schools are an amenity for residents and serve a
variety of public and private entities and allow for large amounts of public open space. Therefore, staff
believes the schools request is in compliance with the intent of the Future Land Use Map’s recommendation.
VISION 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BIG IDEAS & GOALS
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Vision 2050 Comprehensive
Plan. Staff comments italicized.
DESIRED OUTCOMES - Family-oriented
"McHenry will balances its growth with a commitment to vibrant public amenities. In the year 2050, families
in McHenry will enjoy a wide variety of attainable housing choices, high quality public schools, affordable
entertainment downtown, indoor sports such as track and swimming pool, and mixed-use developments
with public plazas to neighborhood parks." (p. 73)
Staff believes approval of the requested parking lot expansion and additional bus lane could be viewed as
supporting high quality public schools by relieving stacking congestion for nearby local roads by relocated bus
traffic to an area where they can be fully accommodated.
Action 1.3.2 – Locate new developments in proximity to existing infrastructure, services, and amenities such
as utilities, street network, parks, emergency services, schools and libraries.
Staff believes approval of the requested expansion of the parking lot and reconfiguration of bus access could
be viewed as supportive of an existing public amenity (the school) to mitigate traffic congestion on Glenbrook
and Driftwood Trail.
STAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS.
• There are no specific recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan that are applicable to the
proposed expansion, however staff believes approval of the request would be supporting a local
amenity by relieving stacking congestion during school drop off and pick up times.
• The proposed expansion of the parking lot is in compliance with the City’s Zoning Ordinance. Staff does
not believe the requested parking lot expansion and additional bus lane would generate any adverse
impacts on the surrounding property owners.
• Although the proposed reconfiguration won’t resolve single occupancy vehicle stacking issues, it
should help alleviate some of the congestion on the adjoining roadways by allowing buses to be fully
accommodated in the new bus lane.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following motion is
recommended:
MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to
accommodate an expansion of the parking lot and bus lane addition, subject to the following conditions:
1. All development on site shall be in accordance with the submitted plans.
2. The School District shall continue to work with the City of McHenry to modify plans as needed for student
pick up and drop off to alleviate congestion on local roads.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Conditional Use Permits have been met
as outlined in the staff report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR CONDITIONAL USES (§11-15-5). Staff comments italicized below.
A. Traffic: Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the zoning
district has been minimized.
The school district is not proposing any expansion to the existing use and is only proposing a change to
the site plan to accommodate the reconfiguration of school bus access. The proposed changes are
predicted to help alleviate congestion on local roads by accommodating all school buses in the
southeast parking lot.
B. Environmental Nuisance: Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste disposal, blockage of
light or air, or other adverse environmental effects of a type or degree not characteristic of
permitted uses in the zoning district, have been appropriately controlled.
Staff does not believe the proposed request would generate any environmental nuisances.
C. Neighborhood Character: The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or
manmade character of its surroundings, and with permitted uses in the zoning district. The use will
not have undue deleterious effect on the environmental quality, property values, or neighborhood
character already existing in the area or normally associated with permitted uses in the district.
The surrounding area consists primarily of residential land use. Given the proposed expansion will
comply with the City’s setback regulations, staff believes the proposed parking lot expansion and new
bus lane will fit harmoniously with the existing character of the area.
D. Public Services and Facilities: The proposed use will not require existing community facilities or
services to a degree disproportionate to that normally expected of permitted uses in the district, nor
generate disproportionate demand for new services or facilities, in such a way as to place undue
burdens upon existing development in the area.
The site is currently serviced by city water and sanitary sewer.
E. Public Safety and Health: The proposed use will not be detrimental to the safety or health of the
employees, patrons, or visitors associated with the use nor of the general public in the vicinity.
Staff believes the proposed use would not endanger local public health and safety within the vicinity of
the subject property. The new bus lane and accommodations should help alleviate some of the
congestion felt on the roadway during student drop off/pick up.
F. Other Factors: The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility pertinent to
the conditional use and its particular location.
Attachments: 1) Petitioner’s Application and attachments. 2) Receipt of publication of legal notice.

Specifications, the Standard Specifications for Water and
Sewer Main Construction in Illinois (latest edition) and the
Illinois Urban Manual (blue book) as published by the IEPA
shall govern the construction of this project.
In addition, the following special provisions supplement the
said specifications, and in case of conflict with any part or
parts of said specifications, these special provisions shall
take precedence and shall govern.
1.Scope of Work

permit, pipe line trenches with sloping sides may be
used.
The slopes shall not extend below the top of the pipe,
and the trench excavations below this point shall be
made with vertical sides with widths not exceeding those
specified herein for the various sizes of pipe.
Open-cut trenches shall be sheeted and braced as
required by the governing state, federal laws and
municipal ordinances, and as may be necessary to
protect life, property or the work.
Where firm foundation is not encountered at the grade
established, due to unsuitable soil, all such unsuitable
material shall be removed and replaced with approved
compacted granular material.
B.Width of Trenches: The maximum width of the trench
at the top of the pipe shall be as follows:
Nominal
Pipe Sizes Trench Widths
(inches) (inches)
12 or smaller 30
14-18 36
20-24 42
27-30 48
33 and larger 1-1/3 times pipe O.D.
C.Removal of Water: Contractors shall, at all times during
construction, provide and maintain ample means and
devices with which to remove and properly dispose of all
water entering the excavations. No sanitary sewer shall
be used for disposal of trench water, unless specifically
approved by the City Engineer and then only if the
trench water does not ultimately arrive at existing
pumping or sewage treatment facilities.
D.Bedding of Pipe: All pipe shall be installed on a bedding
of approved, compacted granular material unless
otherwise approved by the City Engineer. The bedding
material shall be installed as per the typical trench
backfill detail.
E.Trench Backfill: Whenever the excavation is in or within

Control measures shall meet the minimum standards and specifications of the Illinois
Urban Manual (www.aiswcd.org/IUM) unless stated otherwise.
Soil disturbance shall be conducted in such a manner as to minimize erosion. Areas of
the development site that are not to be disturbed shall be protected from construction
traffic or other disturbance until final stabilization is achieved.
Soil stabilization measures shall consider the time of year, development site
conditions and the use of temporary or permanent measures.
Stabilization by seeding shall include topsoil placement and fertilization, as necessary.
5. Native seed mixtures shall include rapid-growing annual grasses or small grains to
provide initial, temporary soil stabilization.
Offsite property shall be protected from erosion and sedimentation. Velocity
dissipation devices shall be placed at concentrated discharge locations and along the
length of any outfall channel, as necessary to prevent erosion.
Sediment control measures shall be installed prior to the disturbance of tributary
areas.
Stabilization of disturbed areas shall be initiated immediately whenever any clearing,
grading, excavating or other earth disturbing activities have permanently ceased on
any portion of the development site, or temporarily ceased on any portion of the
development site and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar days.
Stabilization of disturbed areas shall be initiated within 1 working day of permanent
or temporary cessation of earth disturbing activities and shall be completed as soon
as possible, but not later than 14 calendar days from the initiation of stabilization
work in an area. Exceptions to these time frames are specified below:
a. Where the initiation of stabilization measures is precluded by snow cover,
stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable; and
b.
9.
In areas where construction activity has temporarily ceased and will resume
after 14 days, a temporary stabilization method may be used.
Disturbance of steep slopes shall be minimized. Areas or embankments having slopes
steeper than 3:1 shall be stabilized with staked in place sod, erosion control blanket in
combination with seeding, or an equivalent control measure.
10. Perimeter control measures shall be provided downslope and perpendicular to the
flow of runoff from disturbed areas, where the tributary area is greater than 5,000
square feet, and where runoff will flow in a sheet flow manner. Perimeter erosion
control shall also be provided at the base of soil stockpiles.
11.The stormwater management system shall be protected from erosion and
sedimentation downslope from disturbed areas. Inlet protection that reduces
sediment loading, while allowing runoff to enter the inlet shall be required for all
storm sewers. Check dams, or an equivalent control measure, shall be required for all
channels. Filter fabric inlet protection and straw bale ditch checks are not acceptable
control measures.
12.If dewatering services are used, discharges shall be routed through an effective
sediment control measure (e.g., sediment trap or an equivalent control measure). The
Enforcement Officer shall be notified prior to the commencement of dewatering
activities.
13.All temporary soil erosion and sediment control measures shall be removed within 30
days after final stabilization of the development site is achieved or after the
temporary measures are no longer necessary. Trapped sediment shall be removed
and disturbed areas shall be permanently stabilized.
14.Stockpiled soil and materials shall be removed from flood hazard areas at the end of
each work day. Soil and materials stockpiled in IWMC or buffer areas shall be placed
on timber mats, or an equivalent control measure.
15.Effective control measures shall be utilized to minimize the discharge of pollutants
from the development site. At a minimum, control measures shall be implemented in
order to:
a.
b.
Minimize the discharge of pollutants from equipment and vehicle washing,
wheel wash water, and other wash water; and
Minimize the exposure of building materials, building products, construction
wastes, trash, landscape materials, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, detergents,
vehicle fluids, sanitary waste, and other materials present on the development
site to precipitation and to stormwater.
16.Adequate receptacles shall be provided for the depositing of all construction material
debris generated during the development process. The applicant shall not cause or
permit the dumping, depositing, dropping, throwing, discarding or leaving of
construction material debris upon or into any development site, channel, or IWMC.
The development site shall be maintained free of construction material debris.
17.The Enforcement Officer may require additional or alternate soil erosion and
sediment control measures, based on development site specific considerations and
the effectiveness of the installed control measures.
Standard Drain Tile Notes
1.Drain tiles disturbed during regulated development shall be reconnected by those
responsible for their disturbance, unless the development plans specify abandonment
of the drain tiles.
2.All abandoned drain tiles within disturbed areas shall be removed in their entirety.
3.Drain tiles within the disturbed area of a development site shall be replaced, bypassed
around the development site or intercepted and connected to the stormwater
management system for the development site. The size of the replaced or bypassed
drain tile shall be equivalent to the existing drain tile.

Riverwood Narrative Update 1/2/25
Riverwood- Drop off time is tentatively between 8:30-9:00am. Pick up time is tentatively between 3:30-
4:30pm. Currently the buses pick up/drop off in the front of the building on Driftwood. The parent pick
up/drop off enters on Glenbrook and exits to Driftwood. As a result of the expansion, the bus pick up/drop off
will occur in the back expanded parking lot. The buses would enter and exit from Glenbrook. Parent pick
up/drop off would enter and exit from Driftwood.
Staff Report for the City of McHenry Planning & Zoning Commission
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUND & REQUEST SUMMARY
The applicant, School District 15, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit to accommodate the
addition of a new recreational track & field at McHenry Middle School. The project involves the construction
of a new athletic field consisting of an asphalt running track, field events, bleacher pad, score board, 54-unit
parking lot expansion, and natural grass field. The School District is not proposing any stadium lights or sound
amplification devices.
CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Conditional Use Permits, listed in §11-15-5 of the
City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance
STAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The Subject Property is zoned E Estate District and is approved for a Conditional Use Permit for an Assembly
Use for the operation of the existing McHenry Middle School. The primary concern is how the new
recreational field will impact the adjoining property owners.
Since the project is not proposing any lighting or sound, the primary impact is the separation distance
between the new addition and the adjoining single-family residences. The proposed long jump area is
approximately 231.71 feet away from the westernmost property line. It is very unlikely the field nor long jump
area would have any significant impact on the property owner.
Several residential properties are located to the north of the discus throwing area which is approximately
263.46 feet away the property line of the nearest single-family residence. For the Commission’s reference, the
Olympic world record for men’s discus is 229 feet set by Roje Stona of Jamaica in the 2024 Olympic Games.
Staff does not anticipate a middle school-aged child would be able to surpass the Olympic world record and
achieve a 263.46-foot discus throw.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Vision 2050 Comprehensive Plan – Future Land Use Map Walkable Residential Development which is
defined as areas that represent older and historic neighborhoods that should remain mostly residential.
Generally, single family homes are appropriate here and they should be connected with sidewalks, safe
streets, and bike routes where possible. Downtown walkable residential features smaller lot sizes and may
have more homes with multiple units. Schools are an amenity for residents and serve a variety of public and
private entities and allow for large amounts of public open space. Therefore, staff believes the schools request
is in compliance with the intent of the Future Land Use Map’s recommendation.
VISION 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BIG IDEAS & GOALS
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Vision 2050 Comprehensive
Plan. Staff comments italicized.
DESIRED OUTCOMES - Family-oriented
"McHenry will balances its growth with a commitment to vibrant public amenities. In the year 2050, families
in McHenry will enjoy a wide variety of attainable housing choices, high quality public schools, affordable
entertainment downtown, indoor sports such as track and swimming pool, and mixed-use developments
with public plazas to neighborhood parks." (p. 73)
Staff believes approval of the requested addition could be viewed as supporting high quality public schools by
providing additional recreational opportunities for middle school-aged children.
Action 1.3.2 – Locate new developments in proximity to existing infrastructure, services, and amenities such
as utilities, street network, parks, emergency services, schools and libraries.
Staff believes approval of the requested addition could be viewed as supporting a local school amenity by
expanding the recreational opportunities available to middle school-aged children.
STAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS.
• Staff believes approval of the request would be supporting a local amenity by providing school aged
children with new extracurricular opportunities.
• The School District is not adding any new lighting or sound amplification devices. The primary concern
is the setback distance from the nearest single-family residences. The nearest point to the west of the
long jump area is 231 feet, and 263 feet to the north of the discus throwing area. Given the large
setback distances proposed, staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts on the adjoining residential
property.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following motion is
recommended:
MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Conditional Use Permit to
accommodate the addition of a new recreational track & field subject to the condition that all development on
site shall be in accordance with the submitted plans.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Conditional Use Permits have been met
as outlined in the staff report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR CONDITIONAL USES (§11-15-5). Staff comments italicized below.
A. Traffic: Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the zoning
district has been minimized.
Staff believes the new track and field addition will not generate any adverse impact to the types or
volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the zoning district. The School District is adding 54
additional parking spaces to accommodate the track and field.
B. Environmental Nuisance: Any adverse effects of noise, glare, odor, dust, waste disposal, blockage of
light or air, or other adverse environmental effects of a type or degree not characteristic of
permitted uses in the zoning district, have been appropriately controlled.
Staff does not believe the proposed request would generate any environmental nuisances.
C. Neighborhood Character: The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or
manmade character of its surroundings, and with permitted uses in the zoning district. The use will
not have undue deleterious effect on the environmental quality, property values, or neighborhood
character already existing in the area or normally associated with permitted uses in the district.
The surrounding area consists primarily of residential land use. Given the proposed expansion will
comply with the City’s setback regulations and that no stadium lighting and sound amplification is
being proposed, staff does not anticipate any negative impacts on the neighborhood character.
D. Public Services and Facilities: The proposed use will not require existing community facilities or
services to a degree disproportionate to that normally expected of permitted uses in the district, nor
generate disproportionate demand for new services or facilities, in such a way as to place undue
burdens upon existing development in the area.
The site is currently serviced by city water and sanitary sewer.
E. Public Safety and Health: The proposed use will not be detrimental to the safety or health of the
employees, patrons, or visitors associated with the use nor of the general public in the vicinity.
Staff believes the proposed use would not endanger local public health and safety within the vicinity of
the subject property.
F. Other Factors: The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility pertinent to
the conditional use and its particular location.
Attachments: 1) Petitioner’s Application and attachments. 2) Receipt of publication of legal notice.

SStafff Reportt forr thee Cityy off McHenryy Planningg && Zoningg Commissionn
Staff Comments
The following comments and conclusions are based upon staff analysis and review prior to this hearing and are
to be considered viable unless evidence is established to the contrary. Staff may have additional comments
based upon the testimony presented during the public hearing.
BACKGROUNDD && REQUESTT SUMMARYY
The petitioner, Future of the Leaf Infusers LLC, is requesting approval of Use Variance to allow a Cannabis Craft
Grow Facility in conjunction with their existing Use Variance approval for a Cannabis Infusion Facility at 3900
Mercy Drive. The petitioner has indicated to staff their intent, although defined as cannabis craft grow, is not
to grow cannabis flower on the facility. The petitioner is required by the state to seek local approval for a
cannabis craft grow facility in order to handle raw agricultural cannabis flower that will be turned into a butter
for their infusion operations. Staff have included conditions of approval that would protect the adjoining
property owners from any noxious smells as well as any costs incurred by the City to investigate odor
complaints.
CITYY OFF MCHENRYY ORDINANCESS
•The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Use Variances, listed in §11-19-6 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance
SSTAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The subject property is currently zoned O-2 Office Park District and is approved for a Conditional Use Permit
for the operation of a Cannabis Infusion Facility. The surrounding properties consist of RS-2 Medium Density
Single Family (east), O-2 Office Park to the south and west, and unincorporated McHenry County to the north.
The primary concern from operations are potential nuisances generated from production.
The City of McHenry has adopted performance standards that provide a basis for determining the
compatibility of land uses that may produce measurable adverse environmental effects on their surroundings.
The City’s ordinance does not allow any use to generate odorous particulates that exceed the odor
concentration threshold (amount of particulate measured in parts per billion to generate a detectable smell)
at an adjacent property owner’s property line. Failure to meet these performance standards will result in fines
until corrective action is taken to mitigate the nuisance. Safeguards are in place to address potentially odorous
emissions generated from businesses; however, staff have included additional conditions of approval to
provide protection to the City for any costs associated with testing.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Vision 2050 Future Land Use Map recommends Employment Center character area which is defined as an
“…area that has concentrated industrial and commercial development. These are important areas for local
employment and should be accessible to workers who walk, bike, drive, or take transit” (p. 74). Overall, the
commercial development appears to be in compliance with the Future Land Use Map’s recommendation.
VISION 2050 PLAN - BIG IDEAS & GOALS
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Vision 2050 Plan. Staff
comments italicized.
x GOAL 2 - Economic Resilience - "Plan development initiatives and investments that strengthen
community’s economic capacity and capability to withstand uncertainties. Support unique local
businesses and context-sensitive big box retail in appropriate locations. Promote activities that will
increase entrepreneurship and tax revenues in the city."(p. 73)
Staff believes approval of the request would be considered supportive of unique local business by
allowing the infusion facility to help self-sustain its own operations by turning raw cannabis into butter.
Staff have included a condition of approval related to odor control that would be context-sensitive of its
proximity to residential.
x ACTION 2.3.3 - Require all areas shown as Employment Center character areas in the Future Land
Use Map to develop as a mix of manufacturing, warehouses, heavy commercial and office and limit
residential uses by including specific regulations including design standards in the zoning ordinance
or the updated unified development code.
Staff believes approval of the request would be consistent allowing a mix of heavy
commercial/manufacturing type use within the Employment Center Character Area.
STAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS.
x The petitioner has indicated they do not intend to grow cannabis on site but zoning approval for a
Cannabis Craft Grow Facility is necessary for the infusion operations to handle raw cannabis flower
that will be delivered on site.
xx All operations would be incorporated into the existing building. Staff have included as a condition of
approval that any expansion of the building footprint would require a new Conditional Use Permit.
x Staff have included as a condition of approval that no odor shall be detected at the adjoining property
line and that the Property Owner shall be responsible for any costs incurred for investigating odor
complaints. The petitioner has indicated they are comfortable with said condition.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following motion is
recommended:
MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Use Variation to allow a
Cannabis Craft Grow Facility in conjunction with the existing Cannabis Infusion Operation, subject to the
following conditions:
1. No noxious odor resulting from cannabis business operations shall be detectable at any adjoining property
line.
2. The Property Owner shall submit an Odor Mitigation Plan that shall be reviewed and approved at the
discretion of the Zoning Administrator prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Cannabis
Craft Grow Facility.
3. The Property Owner shall be responsible for the reimbursement of any costs incurred by the City for
investigation of any odor complaints. Odor complaints may be investigated by a Certified Industrial
Hygienist or other accredited odor sampling professional as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
4. Any expansion of the principal building shall require a new Conditional Use Permit.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Use Variances have been met as outlined
in the staff report.
APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR USE VARIANCES (§11-19-6) Comments of staff italicized below.
A. Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship: For reasons fully set forth in the written findings, the strict
application of the provisions of this title relating to the use of the buildings or structures, or the use of
the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from
mere inconvenience.
Staff believes a hardship maybe present. The petitioner has indicated that it is a struggle to obtain
cannabis leaf for their infusion operations. An argument could be made that without the approval that
there is a practical difficulty in operating their Cannabis Infusion Facility.
B. Reasonable Return: The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under
the conditions allowed by the regulations in this title for the pertinent zoning district.
N/A
C. Unique Circumstance: Special circumstances, fully described in the written findings, exist that are
peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought and that they do not apply generally to
other properties in the same zoning district.
Staff does believe the request is under special circumstances uniquely for this property because the
property is approved for a Cannabis Infusion Facility and a Craft Grow would support the existing
approved operations.
D. Not Alter Local Character: The granting of the use variance will not alter the essential character of the
locality, nor substantially impair environmental quality, property values or public safety or welfare in
the vicinity.
Staff does not believe approval of the request will generate any adverse impacts on the surrounding
area. Staff have included conditions of approval related to odor that will require corrective action if
found to be in violation.
E. Consistent With Title And Comprehensive Plan: The granting of a use variance will be in harmony with
the general purpose and intent of this title and of the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Staff believes the overall request is consistent with the Title and Comprehensive Plan of supporting
manufacturing/heavy commercial operations within the Employment Center Character area.

Planning and Zoning Commission
City of McHenry
333 South Green Street à McHenry, IL 60050 à Tel: (815) 363-2170 à Fax: (815) 363-2173
§11-19-6 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance provides that in recommending approval or conditional
approval of a use 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 your request.
1.Practical Difficulties or Particular Hardship
The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance relating to the use of the buildings or
structures, or the use of the land, would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience.
Our business relies heavily on securing cannabis distillate, terpenes, and other essential
supplies at reasonable costs. Over the past two years, the rising prices of these critical
ingredients have made it increasingly challenging to remain competitive, underscoring the
need to diversify our offerings. It has become evident that operating our infusion kitchen
cost-effectively is not feasible without access to craft grow flower. Without the approval of
the zoning Use Variance, the applicant may be compelled to abandon the property, forfeiting
the substantial financial investments and efforts dedicated to it thus far. We respectfully urge
that this application be given thorough consideration and expedited approval to prevent
undue hardship and ensure adherence to state regulations.
2.Reasonable Return
The property cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by
the Zoning Ordinance for the pertinent zoning district.
According to city and state law, we cannot use flower in our infusers’ kitchen in the property
at 3900 Mercy Drive unless the city grants a Use Variance. Therefore, it would be impossible
to operate our infusers’kitchen as a profitable business without zoning use approval,
resulting in a great loss of revenue.
3.Unique Circumstance
Special circumstances exist that are peculiar to the property for which the use variance is sought which do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district.
The Use Variance is essential for this property to comply with city and state regulations,
which require proper zoning for cannabis craft grow and cannabis infusion facilities.
Combining these operations offers significant economies of scale, as purchasing flower
wholesale is considerably more cost-effective than buying cannabis distillate. Securing the
Use Variance will enhance our capacity to expand product offerings, create more local job
opportunities, and streamline production, ultimately delivering products at more competitive
prices.
FORM E
Public Hearing Application Packet Page 8 of 8
4.Not Alter Local Character
The granting of the use variance will not alter the essential character of the locality nor substantially impair
environmental quality, property values, or public safety or welfare in the vicinity.
Granting the Use Variance will not disrupt the essential character of the locality or
compromise environmental quality, property values, public safety, or welfare in
the vicinity. State and local laws mandate strict compliance with regulations,
including measures to maintain air quality, proper disposal of unused products,
and regular weekly inspections to ensure adherence to these standards. Thus,
there will be no impact to the surrounding area as a result of the granting of this
Use Variance.
5.Consistent with Comprehensive Plan
The granting of the use 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.
This request for the Use Variance aligns with the Comprehensive Plan of the City and
is in congruence with general objectives and aims of the Zoning Ordinance.
