requirements have been met. Mr. Shwaiko was sorn in by Chairwoman Rockweiler. He stated
that he needs a variance for his existing property and wants to continue to do rehab on the house.
He has already done some extensive work and would like to move forward. Planner Sheriff
explained that this currently has a non-conforming use on the property. There is written
evidence from the neighbors that the use has existed for 20-plus years. The proposed use is in
compliance with the comprehensive plan. The property was in poor condition when the
petitioner purchased it. The proposed deck would extend laterally along the front. The porch
would wrap around the back driveway area. There are some conditions of approval, including
installing four parking spaces within one year, taking care of the driveway and re-seeding the
property. There were no objections to the conditions from the petitioner.
Chairwoman Rockweiler opened the public hearing for file Z-2025-7 at 5:34. With nobody
present or wanting to discuss the proposal, the public hearing as closed at 5:34 p.m.
Commissioner Locke thanked Mr. Shwaiko for cleaning up the property. The before and after

as long as the staff recommendations were followed.

File No. Z-2025-8
Petitioner: McHenry School District 156
Conditional Use Permit – 1012 N Green Street
Chairwoman Rockweiler and Commissioner Beattie recused themselves and left the room at 5:38
p.m. Commissioner Lehman opened the file at 5:38 p.m. District Superintended Ryan McTague
was sworn in by Commissioner Lehman. Mr. Mctague stated that they are getting rid of the
mobile units and reconstructing and redesigning the parking lot. This solves four issues. First,
they will separate parent traffic with bus traffic. The design shows parents using John Street and
busses using Waukegan. Second, by rerouting traffic, they will be improving student safety. A
new path will allow students to walk directly through the courtyard to the main entrance of the
building without crossing traffic. Third, the new aesthetics will improve the look of the area.
There is more greenery instead of a concrete jungle. This is also the primary entrance for visitors
for all events, and we can be more proud of the look of the school. Fourth, the school is currently
landlocked with not much room or space to grow. Putting the maintenance garage in the corner
will protect the district’s assets. There is a geothermal system in the parking lot. This will allow
the school to utilize more parking spaces, and the 60x100 service storage shed will meet the
school’s needs.
Planner Sheriff reported that this plan fits into the walkable and residential downtown. Schools
are an amenity and they are in compliance with the comprehensive plan. The school has been
operating for over 100 years without a conditional use, so this should not have a substantial
impact on the surrounding properties. The traffic plan has been reviewed by the Police
Department and they agree with the safety issues.
Commissioner Locke questioned the well on site. Mr. McTague explained that there is a
geothermal system in the center of the parking lot. Commissioner Locke asked what types of
maintenance would be happening in the shed, such as oil changes. Mr. McTague stated that they
have another maintenance garage on the upper campus for car maintenance issues, and this
shed would just be for storage.
Commissioner Riley questioned if the only entrance to the shed would be John Street. Mr.
McTague stated that John would be the only entrance, as they want to separate traffic and not
have a go-between across the parking lot. Having the only parent entrance from John also makes
it easier on drivers and causes less issues. This should make traffic patterns more simple.
Commissioner Riley asked what is happening with the room where the former mobile trailer sat.
It was explained that this will be additional parking. Commissioner Riley asked if the lot used for
the storage shed is currently being used. Mr. McTague stated that is used vary rarely. Every once
in a while the PE classes may use that grass, and it is lined for band practice as well. They will
maintain much of that grassy area for band practice. Keeping greenery is important, but there is
room for a field and for the storage shed.

Commissioner Gleason asked if lighting will change or affect the neighbors. Mr. McTague
explained that they are evaluating the current lighting situation, but there are no plans to add
lighting that would affect the neighbors. No additional lighting will be added to the storage shed
area other than what is required by code for that building.
Commissioner Lehman opened the public hearing for file Z-2025-8 at 5:54. With no members of
the public wishing to speak, he closed the hearing at 5:54 p.m.
Commissioner Riley stated that he likes the flow changes, the safety, and the courtyard design.
He also appreciates that they are still maintaining green space by the storage shed.
Commissioner Gleason echoed Commissioner Riley’s thoughts, and likes the reconfiguration.
Commissioners Locke and Lehman also had no objections to the plan.
A motion was made by Commissioner Locke and seconded by Commissioner Riley to recommend
approval of the Petitioner’s request for Final Plan Approval for a Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Unit Development to accommodate the proposed maintenance garage, parking lot
reconfiguration, and operations of the existing school at 1012 N Green Street, subject to the
following condition(s):
1. All development on site shall be in accordance with the submitted plans.
2. The School District shall landscape the new parking spaces adjoining the “maintenance barn”
in accordance with the City’s Landscaping & Screening Ordinance.
3. The School District shall provide the Community Development Department an updated plat of
survey once all construction is complete.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Conditional Use Permits and
Standards for Planned Unit Developments have been met as outlined in the staff report.
Roll Call Vote: 4-ayes: Commissioners Riley, Locke, Gleason, Lehman. 3-absent: Bremer,
Rockweiler, Beattie. Motion carried.
Commissioner Lehman closed the file at 5:57 p.m. Commissioners Rockweiler and Beattie
rejoined the meeting at 5:58 p.m.
Staff Report: Planner Cody Sheriff reported that an RFP was issued for a UDO (Unified
Development Ordinance) to replace the existing zoning ordinance that was put into place
in 1986. It is common for a new zoning ordinance to be enacted following an updated
comprehensive plan. Director Polerecky stated that a couple of developers have shown
interest in the City. Lennar is still moving forward with their single -family home plan at
Curran/Bull Valley Road. There is some interest in a home development north of Veterans
Park. Redwood has submitted their final engineering and they are moving forward with
their development.

identifying problems and what we can do to make the City of McHenry a better place.

to adjourn the meeting at 6:02 p.m. Voice Vote: 6-ayes: Commissioners Rockweiler, Riley,
Lehman, Beattie, Locke, Gleason. 1-absent: Bremer. Motion Carried.
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 Property Owner, Charles Nichols , is requesting the following zoning approvals for the property located at
1511 N Green Street to accommodate the existing single -family residence and accessory dwelling unit
(detached coach house):
• Use Variance to accommodate the existing single -family residence and detached coach house on a
single lot.
• Zoning Variation to allow a minimum lot width of 66 feet in lieu of the required 100 feet.
• Zoning Variation to allow a rear yard setback of 3.2’ in lieu of the required 25’ to accommodate the
existing accessory dwelling unit.
• Any other Zoning Variations necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory
structures.
As the Commission may recall from similar cases —such as 1508 N. Green Street and 1410 N. Riverside Drive —
the City has been working with property owners of long-standing nonconforming residential uses, typically in
place for 10 to 20 years or more, to bring these properties into compliance with the Zoning Ordinance.
The current property owner purchased the subject property in 2022. At that time, City staff informed him of
the nonconforming status of the detached coach house. Despite this, he proceeded at his own risk with the
purchase of the property.
The owner is now in the process of selling the property to an interested buyer who requires zoning approval
for the existing coach house as a condition of closing.
The subject property is located within one of the Original Plats of McHenry, recorded on July 6, 1840.
According to the Township Assessor’s Office, the principal residence was constructed in 1904. City water
billing records indicate the presence of the coach house as early as 2005, and staff believes it has likely existed
on the property for decades.
On May 8, 2025, the City conducted an inspection of the coach house and identified several code -related
issues that must be addressed within 30 days. Overall, the property appears well maintained and in relatively
good condition.

CITY OF MCHENRY ORDINANCES
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Use Variances, listed in §11-19-6 of the City of
McHenry Zoning Ordinance
• The petitioner must meet the Approval Criteria for Variances, listed in §11-19-5 of the City of McHenry
Zoning Ordinance
STAFF ANALYSIS
CURRENT LAND USE & ZONING
The subject property is currently zoned RS-4, High -Density Single -Family Residential District. Surrounding
properties are also primarily zoned RS -4 and include a mix of single-family homes, legally conforming multi-
unit dwellings, and St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.
Given the long-standing use of the property as a single-family residence with a detached coach house—
spanning over 20 years—and the surrounding mix of residential, multifamily, and institutional uses, staff
believes that approval of the request would not be out of character with the neighborhood.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOMMENDATION
The Vision 2050 Downtown Future Land Use Map recommends Downtown Neighborhood which includes
allowing infill housing. Staff believes petitioner’s request is in substantial conformance with the Future Land
Use Map Character Area.
VISION 2050 DOWNTOWN PLAN - BIG IDEAS & GOALS
Overall, staff believes the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Vision 2050 Downtown Plan.
Staff comments italicized.
• ACTION 1.5 – “Amend the zoning ordinance to allow higher density housing in the Downtown to
encourage walking and biking, and to reduce dependence on automobiles.” (p. 81)
Staff believes approval of the request would be consistent with the City’s goal of providing higher
density housing in the Downtown to promote walking and biking while reducing automobile
dependence. Although not adding any units, approval of the request would allow the existing density
to remain.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS
• Zoning District Bulk and Setback Variance Requests. The petitioner will require approval of two
variances: one to allow the existing 3.2-foot setback for the detached coach house, and another to
permit a minimum lot width of 66 feet, where 100 feet is otherwise required by code. Given that both
structures have existed for several decades without issue, staff does not anticipate any adverse
impacts on adjoining property owners.
STAFF SUMMARY ANALYSIS .
• Staff believes the proposed use of the property as a single -family residence and detached coach house
has operated on site for over 20 years according to City water billing records.
• Staff believes the request is consistent with the Future Land Use Map’s Downtown Neighborhood
Character Area which recommends infill housing.
• The City has approved similar requests within the vicinity of the downtown area (1407 Court St.,
1507/1508 N Green St., and 3723 Grand Avenue).
• Staff is recommending as a condition of approval that all building code issues identified on May 8, 2025
building inspection shall be completed no later than June 8, 2025, or other reasonable timeframe, as
determined by the Zoning Administrator.
If the Planning & Zoning Commission agrees with the petitioner’s request, then the following two (2)
motions are recommended:
1st MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for a Use Variation to allow a
Single -Family Residence and Detached Accessory Dwelling unit on a single lot on the Subject Property, subject
to the following conditions:
1. The Property Owner shall complete all necessary maintenance and repairs to address the building code
violations identified in the inspection report dated May 8, 2025. All work must be completed by June 8,
2025, or within another reasonable timeframe as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
2. All development on site shall be insubstantial conformance with the submitted plans.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for Use Variances have been met as outlined
in the staff report.
2nd MOTION: I motion/move to recommend approval of the Petitioner’s request for the following Zoning
Variations:
1. Zoning Variation to allow a minimum lot width of 66 feet in lieu of the required 100 feet.
2. Zoning Variation to allow a rear yard setback of 3.2’ in lieu of the required 25 feet to accommodate the
existing accessory dwelling unit.
3. Any other Zoning Variations necessary to accommodate the existing principal building and accessory
structures.
AND by making said motion, you agree that the approval criteria for 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 that strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would impose an unnecessary and undue
hardship, given the longstanding use of the property as a single-family residence with a detached coach
house for over 20 years.
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 believes the request is the result of a special circumstance uniquely for this property because the
property has operated for over 20 years as a single-family residence with a detached coach house and
has existed in harmony with the surrounding property owners.
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. Other properties within the area (1508 N Green, 1410 N Riverside Drive, 3723 Grand Avenue)
have operated under similar circumstances.
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
multifamily /infill housing development in the Downtown.
VARIANCE APPROVAL CRITERIA (§11-19-5). Comments of staff italicized below.
A. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere.
Staff believes this is an unusual circumstance that impacts only a few properties within the RS-4 Zoning
District that are typically older nonconforming historic properties located within the Downtown.
B. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only.
Staff believes this is a circumstance that would relate to this property and if the property sold to the
next property owner. The current property owner purchased the property in its existing configuration
and use and therefore inherited the nonconformity.
C. Not Resulting From Applicant Action.
The applicant did not build the existing single-family residence and detached coach house which was
constructed in 1904 according to the Township Assessor’s office.
D. Unnecessary Hardship.
Staff believes if the city enforces the ordinance that it would cause undue hardship since the property
has operated in harmony with the surrounding residences for at least 20 years.
E. Preserves Rights Conferred By District:
Staff believes this does not confer a special privilege for the subject property.
F. Necessary For Use Of Property:
Staff believes that without approval, the petitioner would be denied reasonable use and enjoyment of
the property.
G. Not Alter Local Character:
Staff believes approval of the applicant’s request would not substantially alter essential character of the
locality nor have any other adverse impacts given the longevity of the use of the property as a single-
family residence and detached coach house.
H. Consistent With Title And Plan:
Staff believes the proposal is appropriate given its proximity to the downtown which is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan recommendation for increasing overall density in the downtown.
I. Minimum Variance Recommended:
Staff believes the proposed variance requests are the minimum required.
Attachments: 1) Petitioner’s Application and attachments. 2) Receipt of publication of legal notice .
