File No. Z-897
2816 W Illinois Route 120
Conditional Use Permit to Allow a Tavern
Chairman Strach
called the Public
Hearing to order at 7:32 p.m.
regarding
File No Z-897, an
application for a
Conditional Use
Permit to allow a tavern as
submitted by
Uprooted for the
property located
at 2816 W Illinois
Route 120, McHenry, IL.
Chairman Strach stated Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Northwest Herald on
June 24, 2016. Notices were mailed to all abutting property owners of record as required by
ordinance. The subject property was posted. A Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of
Compliance with notice requirements are on file in the City Clerk's Office.
In attendance were Dan Smith and Liz Du Plain, 7716 Burr Oak Dr., McHenry, IL 60050, who
were sworn in by Chairman Strach. Mr. Smith provided a summary of the request before the
Commission at this Hearing stating they are hoping to obtain a conditional use to allow a tavern
use on their property while they continue to make renovations to be able to open their
Planning and Zoning Commission

Page 2
establishment as a
restaurant and
bar
in the
near future. They would like to continue
renovations updating
and cleaning up
the
dining room and kitchen areas.
Director of Economic Development Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report
regarding this matter stating the subject property is currently zoned C-5 Highway Commercial
District and contains a vacant building, which was formerly a bar/restaurant and is being
rehabbed by the applicant to eventually again become a full -service restaurant/bar.
In 1996 several properties east of the Fox River were annexed when the City's sewer main was
extended. One of the properties was the subject property located at 2816 W Route 120, At
that time the property was rezoned to C-5 Highway Commercial District and granted a
Conditional Use Permit to allow a restaurant/bar with live entertainment and dancing with a
game room; an outdoor recreational establishment with horseshoe pits and outdoor service of
food and alcohol on the deck.
The property was formerly arestaurant/bar but has been vacant for more than a year. The
applicant has completed a lot of work inside and outside in an effort to reopen the restaurant
and also owns and has many year's experience running a similar business. While the 1996
ordinance is still valid it only permits the site to be utilized as a restaurant/bar as opposed to
solely a bar. The applicant would like to open as a tavern, complete the renovations and
eventually open as a full -service restaurant. Therefore at this time the applicant is requesting a
conditional use permit to allow a tavern on the subject property. All other aspects of the
existing ordinance remain.
Staff believes
the proposed tavern use is
an appropriate land use for
the subject property.
Reviewing the
requirements in Table 31 of
the zoning ordinance, staff
believes the proposed
project will not produce any additional
adverse impacts to traffic,
the environment, the
neighborhood,
public service and facilities
or public safety and health,
than would any other
permitted use
in the C-5 zoning district.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated Staff is recommending Approval of a
conditional use permit to allow a tavern at 2816 W Illinois Route 120 and Staff finds all
requirements in Table 31 of the zoning ordinance have been satisfied.
Chairman Strach invited questions and/or comments from the Commission.
Commissioner Thacker asked Director of Economic Development Martin if the applicant has to
come back to the PZ commission once the renovations are completed in order to operate as a
restaurant. Director Martin stated no, the only reason they are before planning and zoning
now is to operate as a tavern only without the restaurant.
Commissioner Meyer inquired as
to
a timetable
for opening
the kitchen
and operating
as a
restaurant. Mr. Smith stated due
to
extensive it
is difficult to
determine
but their hope
is to
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 13, 2016
Page 3
open as a full restaurant/bar within 3-5 months. They already have a permit for this phase of
construction, but it is time consuming.
Commissioner Miller asked, coming from a safety standpoint, if the owners are going to be able
to work while the tavern is open or if they will have to continue renovation work only after
hours and when the tavern is closed. Mr. Smith stated the restrooms are still accessible but
the dining room and kitchen areas are enclosed and closed off from the tavern space so the
construction work will be entirely separate from the tavern area, which will allow them to work
daily in a safe manner while the tavern is operating.
Commissioner Doherty asked if they would be serving any food in the tavern at this time. Mr.
Smith stated they may serve pizza but the kitchen needs total renovation so it is not operable
yet.
Chairman Strach opened the floor to questions and comments from the audience. There was
nobody in attendance who wished to address the Commission regarding this matter. Chairman
Strach closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 7:42 p.m.
Motion by Meyer, seconded by Doherty, to recommend to the City Council with regard to File
No. Z-897, approval of an application for a conditional use permit to allow a tavern at 2816 W
Illinois Route 120 be granted, and that all requirements in Table 31 of the Zoning Ordinance
have been met.

Chairman Strach stated Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Northwest Heraid on
June 28, 2016. Notices were mailed to all abutting property owners of record as required by
ordinance. The subject property was posted. A Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of
Compliance with notice requirements are on file in the City Clerk's Office.
In attendance was Suchit Shah, 810 N. Front St., McHenry, IL 60050, who was sworn in by
Chairman Strach. Mr. Smith provided a summary of the request before the Commission at this
Hearing stating he is attempting to obtain a conditional use for a tavern to serve wine and beer
and allow gaming at the property. He further stated the tavern will not be internally connected
to the convenient store he operates next door.
Director of Economic Development Martin provided the Commission with the Staff Report
regarding this matter stating Southgate Retail Center was constructed in 1972 and consists of
approximately 9,250 square feet of retail and commercial space anchored by the Food Mart,
which is also operated by the applicant. Recently the unit immediately adjacent and to the
north, occupied by Kiddy Korner was vacated. This unit is approximately 2,400 square feet, and
the applicant is proposing to operate a tavern in the vacant unit. There are residential units
behind the strip mall.
In addition to the Food Mart, the applicant operates liquor stores at Bull Valley/Charles Miller
Road and Illinois Route 31, as well as a location in the McHenry Plaza Shopping Center. The
store located in McHenry Plaza is part of the southern inline retail space adjacent to the vacant
Aldi's building. He also operates a liquor store in Richmond, IL.
Staff believes
the proposed tavern use is
an appropriate land use for
the subject property.
Reviewing the
requirements in Table 31 of
the zoning ordinance, staff
believes the proposed
project will not
produce any additional
adverse impacts to traffic,
the environment, the
neighborhood,
public service and facilities
or public safety and health,
than would any other
permitted use
in the C-5 zoning district.
The applicant has a history of operating successful businesses in the City and does so in a
professional manner. While the proposed use adjacent to the Food Mart will be the first tavern
the applicant has opened within the City each of his other businesses operates with a liquor
license. The parking requirements are met for the proposed use. The applicant is anticipating
offering a wide variety of specialty beers and wine at the proposed tavern.
Director of Economic Development Martin stated Staff is recommending Approval of a
conditional use permit to allow a tavern at 810 N Front Street Unit C. Staff finds all
requirements in Table 31 of the zoning ordinance have been satisfied.
Chairman Strach invited questions and/or comments from the Commission.
Planning and Zoning Commission

Commissioner Thacker inquired if the tavern will operate seven days a week. Mr. Shah replied
yes, it would.
Commissioner Miller asked what the anticipated occupancy of the property is expected to be.
Mr. Shah replied the space is approximately 2400 square feet and depending on the setup he
could fit as many as 100 people, however occupancy will be determined by the building
department. Commissioner Miller inquired about parking and discussion ensued determining
parking requirements have been met but parking on the south side could be striped for
additional parking to be more visible. Mr. Shah believes the parking will be sufficient for the
use requested.
Director of Economic Development Martin inquired as to the number of employees for both the
Food Mart and the tavern. Mr. Shah responded there are 6 employees at the Food Mart with
only 3 working at any one time and the tavern may have 4 employees total.
Chairman Strach opened the floor to questions and comments from the audience. Mr. Ralph
Hayward, owner of 810 Front St. stated he wanted to thank Director Martin and the
commission for the opportunity to speak and thank Mr. Shah for the exemplary example he has
made running his other business on the property. He further stated Mr. Shah has been very
customer friendly and he fully supports this request.
Chairman Strach closed the public comment portion of the hearing at 8:00 p.m.
Motion by Miller, seconded by Walsh, to recommend to the City Council with regard to File No.

Description of Request
The applicant is seeking a 1.28-foot side yard building setback variance from the zoning ordinance to
allow a home addition, to the west elevation, at 1503 Richmond Road.
Staff Analysis
The applicant lives on a through or double -frontage lot, Richmond Road on the east and Maple Court
to the west and the property requires a six-foot side yard setback. Currently the setback is 4.72'
therefore the property must comply with the current ordinance due to the proposed expansion. The
zoning ordinance defines this setback as a standards non -conformity and no addition, enlargement or
structural alteration can be made to a property having a standards non -conformity with the
conformance of any new addition or enlargement portion of the structure to all requirements in the
[PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Z-901-MINOR
VARIANCE FROM ARTICLE IV. RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS TABLE 4: RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN THE REQUIRED SIDE
YARD BUILDING SETBACK REQUIREMENT AT 1503 RICHMOND ROAD)
zoning ordinance. The conformity with the zoning ordinance is being accomplished by seeking a
variance to the existing side yard setback. Below is a depiction of the proposed expansion and setback
in question. Staff has no problem with this request and the only option to complete the addition,
other than razing the entire house, is to obtain a variance.
Below are the approval criteria for variances:
Table 32: Approval Criteria for Variances
In recommending approval or conditional approval of a variance, the Planning and Zoning Commission
shall transmit to the City Council written findings of fact that all of the conditions below apply to the
application. The City Council shall not be bound by the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission. However, in granting approval, the City Council shall similarly find that all of the following
conditions apply:
1. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere
Special circumstances, fully described in the written findings, exist that are peculiar to the property for
which the variance is sought and that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zoning
district. And these circumstances are not of so general or recurrent a nature as to make it reasonably
practical to provide a general regulation to cover them.
2. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only
Since a variance will affect the character of its surroundings long after a property changes hands, the
special circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character of the land or building(s)
for which a variance is sought, such as dimensions, topography, or soil conditions. They do not concern
any business or activity the present or prospective owner or tenant carries on, or seeks to carry on,
therein, nor to the personal, business, or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other
party with interest in the property.
[PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Z-901-MINOR
VARIANCE FROM ARTICLE IV, RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS TABLE 4: RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW A REDUCTION IN THE REQUIRED SIDE
YARD BUILDING SETBACK REQUIREMENT AT 1503 RICHMOND ROAD]
3. Not Resulting from Applicant Action
The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance have not resulted from any act of the
applicant or of any other party with interest in the property.
4. Unnecessary Hardship
For reasons fully set forth in the written findings, the strict application of the provisions of this
Ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from
mere inconvenience.
5. Preserves Rights Conferred by District
A variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial property right possessed
by other properties in the same zoning district and does not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied
to other properties in the district.
6. Necessary for Use of Property
The grant of a variance is necessary not because it will increase the applicant's economic return,
although it may have this effect, but because without a variance the applicant will be deprived of any
reasonable use or enjoyment of the property.
7. Not Alter Local Character
The granting of the 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.
8. Consistent With Ordinance and Plan
The granting of a variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Ordinance
and of the Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in light of any changed conditions since their
adoption.
9. Minimum Variance Recommended
The variance recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved by the City Council
is the minimum required to provide the applicant with reasonable use and enjoyment of his property.
Staff Recommendation Prior to Public Hearing
Approval of Variances from Article IV. Residential Districts, Table 4: Residential District Requirements,
to allow a 1.28-foot reduction in the required side yard building setback to allow the expansion of an
existing home including a 260' addition in substantial conformance with the floor plan and elevation
submitted as part of the public hearing application. Staff finds all requirements in Table 32 of the
zoning ordinance have been met.

Mr. Martin,
Jul
We have been retained by Pat Wirtz, residing at 1503 Richmond Road,
McHenry, to design an addition to his residence, proposing a one-story
addition to the west (rear). The owner would like to align the addition
with the southern face of the residence.
Our understanding is that 1503 Richmond Road is zoned R-4 which
requires a 6 foot side yard setback from the property line. The owner
is seeking a variance allowing the addition to encroach about 14" into
the side yard setback.
We will assist the owner to prepare the proper documents for potential
approval at a public hearing in the City of McHenry.
Sincerely,

Table 32 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance provides that in recommending approval or conditional
approval of a 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 quest.
1. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere
Special circumstances exist that are particular to the property for which the variance is sought and that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district; and these circumstances are not of so general
or recurrent a nature as to make it reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them.
The Zoning District R-4 requires a 6'-0" interior side yard setback. The existing setback is 4.72' per the
survey. The Owner wishes to build an addition to align with the south wall where this setback occurs. This
is particular to this site that is an existing pre-existing condition.
2, Circumstances Relate to Properly Only
Since a variance will affect the character of its surroundings long after a %Y changes hands, the special
circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character of the land or building(s) for which a
variance is sought, such as dimensions, topography, or soil conditions; and they do not concern any business
or activity the present or prospective owner or tenant carries on or seeks to carry on therein, or to the
personal, business or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other party with interest in the
property,
The character of this property is expected not to change with this variance, due to the variance maintaining
the current setback and use. This variance only relates to the physical character of the property, not to any
business or particular actives.
FORM D Page 1 of 3
Z-901
3. Not Resulting from Applicant Action
The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance have not resulted from any act of the applicant or
of any other party with interest in the property.
The home is a non -conforming pre-existing use to the Zoning Ordinance. The existing sideyard setback
appears to pre -date the Zoning Ordinance, The special circumstances have not resulted from any act of the
applicant or any other party with interest in the property.
4. Unnecessary Hardship
The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue
hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience.
The hardship of not having the variance would result in having an unnecessary and unwelcome offset in both
the exterior and interior walls along the south elevation.
5. Preserves Rights Conferred by District
A variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial property right possessed by
other properties in the same zoning district, and does not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied to other
properties in the district.
Because of the age of the house, the rooms and their sizes are not on par with other homes in the same
zoning district, causing a particular disadvantage to this site. Granting the variance does not confers special
privilege to the property,
6. Necessary for Use of Property
The granting of a variance is necessary not because it will increase the applicant's economic return, although
it may have this effect, but because without a variance the applicant will be deprived of any reasonable use
or enjoyment of the property.
This variance will allow the expansion of a first floor bedroom which by today's standards and in the
McHenry market is considered too small. The rg anting of the variance will allow the Owner to upgrade and
renovate a home that has been in the McHenry community very long time.
FORM D Page 2 of 3

T Not Alter Local Character
The granting of a 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.

8. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan
The granting of the 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.
9. Minimum Variance Required
The variance requested is the minimum required to provide the applicant with reasonable use and enjoyment
of the property.
This variance request is to maintain the existin side ide yard setback, a difference of a little more than 1'-0"
with the current Zoning Ordinance. This represents the minimum request to achieve an addition and up rg ade
the house per the intentions of the Owner.

Background and Description of Request
Northgate West Shopping Center was constructed in 2004 and contains a Dairy Queen, Sprint
Store, State Farm Location, Epic Deli and two vacant spaces, one of which will soon be occupied
by the Marine Corps Recruiting Center, which was formerly located in the Diamond Plaza
Shopping Center. In 2004 an ordinance granting approval for two -drive thru facilities was
approved and in 2005 an ordinance granting approval for a restaurant serving alcohol was

approved. In 2006 Mulligan's (Epic Deli site) was granted a conditional use permit to allow
outdoor seating and in 2007 their conditional use permit was expanded -to allow additional
floor area to their restaurant.
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow a tavern at 2630 Schaid Court and
is also seeking a variance from the off-street parking and loading requirements for the
Northgate West Shopping Center (Lots 8-20) to accommodate the tavern use.
Staff Analysis
Conditional Use Permit
Staff believes the proposed tavern use is an appropriate land use for the subject property. The
shopping center in question, as well as Diamond Plaza, Meijer/Home Depot, Shops at Fox River
and McHenry Towne Shopping Centers all contain a diverse selection of retail; restaurant and
service -oriented land uses and the proposed tavern will provide an additional element to
complement the existing uses and is appropriately situated along a commercial highway
corridor. The applicant is one of the owners of this center and has more than four decades of
experience in the restaurant industry. Lacey's Place, located in Diamond Plaza Shopping Center
was recently approved for a conditional use permit for a similar use.
Reviewing the requirements in Table 31 of the zoning ordinance, staff believes the proposed
project will not produce any additional adverse impacts to traffic, the environment, the
neighborhood, public service and facilities or public safety and health, than would any other
permitted use in the C-5 zoning district. As previously stated, all the shopping centers along
north Richmond Road offer a diverse business mix. Since Epic Deli has moved into the center, it
has become revitalized and the proposed tavern will add to the vitality of the center and mix
land uses which include restaurant, retail and service.
Parking Variance
Northgate West currently has 160 parking spaces and, in accordance with the City's zoning
ordinance is classified as a shopping center; therefore the following regulations are applicable:
PARKING FOR SHOPPING CENTERS
The number of parking spaces required for retail and personal service uses located in a
shopping center shall be as provided for shopping centers in Table 13 rather than the sum of
the spaces required for the individual uses. Except that the number of spaces for restaurants,
taverns, and drive-in facilities located in a shopping center, and for any establishment
occupying over 50 percent of the gross leasable area of the center, shall be as provided in Table
13 for these individual uses and shall be added to the number of spaces required under the
provisions for shopping centers for the balance of the uses in the center.

TAVERN AT 2630 SCHAID COURT AND A VARIANCE FROM THE
OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS FOR
NORTHGATE WEST SHOPPING CENTER (2610-2640 SCHAID
COURT LOTS 8-20)
Epic Deli is approximately 6,000 square feet and is required to have 150 parking spaces; Dairy
Queen (1,500 square feet) is required to have 23 spaces; the proposed tavern is 2,000 square
feet and required to have 20 spaces and the remaining uses totaling 5,100 square feet are
required to have 20 spaces. Therefore 213 spaces are required and 160 exist, consequently a
43 space parking variance is being sought. It should be noted the parking requirement for
restaurants was changed after the construction of Northgate West increasing the sit-down
restaurant parking requirement from 20-25 spaces/1,000 square feet of net floor area.
There is some opportunity for shared parking between the various uses within the center; and
Epic Deli, although by ordinance is required to have 150 spaces, falls in between a sit-down
restaurant and a fast -serve restaurant where some people stay and eat but don't stay for long
periods of time and many come in and carry out their food. Attached is a photograph of the
excess parking taken this week at approximately 1:00 p.m.
Staff believes there is sufficient parking for the center and the parking requirement is
somewhat skewed by the number of spaces needed by ordinance for Epic Deli. A similar
situation occurred when Patroons Mexican Restaurant and Lucky Poker opened at ReMax Plaza
on Front Street, which is similar in size.
ReMax Plaza, excluding Subway, Patroons and Lucky Poker, requires 4 spaces/1,000 square feet
of net floor area (14,933 gross square feet) (51 spaces) plus 25 spaces/1,000 square feet of net
floor area for the Subway Restaurant (1,500 gross square feet/32 spaces) and Patroons (1,200
gross square feet/26 spaces) and 10 spaces/1,000 square feet for Lucky Poker (1,500 gross
square feet/13 spaces). A total of 122 parking spaces are required by ordinance for the existing
and aforementioned uses, therefore a variance of 55 parking spaces was requested. Practically
ReMax Plaza does not have a parking problem and staff believes this will be the same for
Northgate West. This is a similar situation and practically the parking requirement exceeds the
actual parking demand.
None of the circumstances creating the need for the requested variance was caused by or a
direct result of any action taken by the applicant and the requested variance, if granted, will not
alter the local character or adversely impact public, health, safety or welfare. Finally, the
variance is consistent with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan and
zoning ordinance. Staff does not have any concerns with the parking variance.

Staff Recommendation Prior to Public Hearing
Both the conditional use permit and parking variance can be considered contemporaneously
because a parking variance is required in order for the proposed tavern to be able to locate
within the shopping center. Staff is recommending the following:
Approval of a conditional use permit to allow a tavern at 2630 Schaid Court and approval of a
parking variance of forty-three spaces for Northgate West Shopping Center with the condition if
the use at 2630 Schaid Court ceases operation for six consecutive months, unless waived by City
Council, the conditional use permit for a tavern and parking variance shall be null and void.
Staff finds all requirements in Tables 31 (Approval Criteria for Conditional Use Permits) and 32
(Approval Criteria for Variances) of the zoning ordinance have been satisfied.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION
APPLICANT: HARRY BOCKOS
PROPERTY LOCATION: 2630 SCHMD COURT, MCHENRY, ILLINOIS
The applicant, Harry Bockos, has over 40 years of experience in the restaurant bar business. Mr. BOCkOS'
prior restaurant bar businesses are as follows:
Seventeen Restaurant, Chicago, Illinois
Key West Restaurant, Countryside, Illinois
Bagwell's Restaurant, Norridge, Illinois
Harry's Sports Bar & Grill, Countryside, Illinois
The focus of Mr. Bockos' new establishment is to bring his many years of experience in the sports bar
and restaurant business and merge with a new gaming venue to allow adults a top notch food and
spirits experience with fun and entertainment.
Mr. Bockos is also one of the owners of the Northgate Center. He is vested in improving the Center. He
is currently installing new hunter green awnings and will be seal coating the parking areas and update
the garbage areas. The Northgate Center has also recently attracted Epic Deli and the Marines to the
Center, which along with Mr. Bockos' new establishment will revitalize this once dormant Center.
Despite the large number of parking spaces in the Center, we fall short with the amount required by
code. As such, we respectfully request that the City of McHenry approve this application.
We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with the City of McHenry and search for other
new opportunities to benefit the City and its constituents.

Background
A few different land uses have been proposed on the subject property over the past 15-20
years, including a Thorntons Fueling Station as well as a Tractor Supply Store, however one of
the major impediments for each of these developments was the lack of a municipal water
supply. The applicant, as part of the proposed project, will extend the City's watermain from its
terminus approximately 160' north of Illinois Route 120 on Adams Drive, along the south side of
Illinois Route 120 approximately 2,042' east and north of the City's sewer main on the south
side of Route 120 to service the proposed development (see attached utility map).
Description of Request
The applicants are proposing to construct:
• Fueling center which will include: 14 fueling positions (7 pumps)
• An 8,400 square -foot convenience store with an attached 1,800 square -foot retail
space;

Staff Analysis
Preliminary Subdivision Plat Approval
The preliminary plat includes two proposed lots: Lot 1 is 5.160 acres and includes everything
proposed as part of the development, with the exception of the 8,400 square -foot retail
building. Lot Two includes the proposed 8,400 square -foot retail building and consists of 2.552
acres. Cross -access, parking and stormwater easements will be required between Lots 1 and 2
as well as for the Riverside Chocolate Factory, which currently leases space on the subject
property for parking.
The following items are required for Preliminary Subdivision Plat Approval for the "Final Plat of
Subdivision Heidner Properties Subdivision" (Although the title states "Final Plat" the
submission and engineering and approval being considered by the Planning and Zoning
Commission is for Preliminary Plat only). The Final Plat will be brought back to the Planning and
Zoning Commission at a later date:
• Proposed name of the subdivision;
• Preparation date, including succeeding revision dates;
• North point;
• Graphic scale (not less than 1" = 100' and not more than 1" = 20');

second submittal as detailed in the attached letter submitted by Steven M. Shanholtzer, Project
Manager Manhard Consulting, Ltd. in a letter to Mr. Douglas Martin dated 8/8/16 and
consisting of eleven pages.
The remaining comments for the preliminary plat and engineering approval must be satisfied
prior to City Council consideration. Additionally, the applicant and staff have met and the
applicant has submitted engineering plans to the McHenry County Division of Transportation
because Chapel Hill Road is under the jurisdiction of that agency. The initial review letter from
the McHenry County Highway Department is attached to this report. The applicant has also
submitted a set of engineering plans to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
because Illinois Route 120 is a state route however the applicant has not received a review
from IDOT to this point.
The applicant and staff are comfortable with the plat and geometric plans submitted as part of
the applicant's request to the Planning and Zoning Commission to the extent staff does not
believe the site and landscape plans or preliminary plat will be altered substantially. If the plat
and/or site and landscape plans and building elevations are altered and are not in substantial
conformance with the plans and plat being reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission
the applicant would have to resubmit and appear before the Commission at another public
hearing in the future.
The proposed plat must be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission at a public
meeting and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation is forwarded to the City
Council. Staff has reviewed the plat and it is in substantial conformance with the requirements
set forth in the subdivision control and development ordinance.

Three new access points are proposed. The full access is proposed off of Illinois Route 120; a
right-in/right-out off of Illinois Route 120 and a right-in/right-out/left-out along Chapel Hill
Road. The first review letter from the McHenry County Division of Transportation following a
conceptual review is attached however the Illinois Department of Transportation has not
completed their initial review. The letter states a right -in deceleration lane and right out
acceleration need to be incorporated into the Chapel Hill Road improvements to accommodate
this % access proposed (right-in/right-out and left -out). The traffic study was also completed by
the applicant and reviewed by the City's engineer.
The City Engineer, staff and McHenry County Highway Division also discussed and recommend
the applicant include a pedestrian connection to the proposed development from one of the
lots on either side of the existing water tower and located at 2207 - 2211 W Country Lane. A
pedestrian connection is depicted on the lot east of the water tower and a storage barn lies on
the lot to the west of the water tower (see attached photographs). Also suggested was an
internal vehicular connection to the west where the existing strip retail center is located. Staff
believes this should be at least considered and planned for even if not immediately
constructed.
Staff is recommending no vehicular access be permitted onto Country Lane. Landbanked
parking is depicted on the lot east of the water tower however this parking will not be built
unless needed, a permit would be required if it's built and no vehicular access is being
recommended onto Country Lane.
Trip generation to the proposed gas station/convenience store is directly proportional to the
number of fueling positions the gas station offers. It should be noted; however, a large
percentage of trips are generated from pass -by traffic or traffic already going past the site en
route to another primary destination (90-95%). Moreover peak trip generation hours of the
gasoline station with convenience store normally coincide with the peak hours of adjacent
street traffic. Road improvements on Chapel Hill Road will be set forth by the McHenry County
Highway Division and by the Illinois Department of Transportation on Route 120.
Staff
believes the internal circulation functions
well on the
proposed site plan; three car wash
lanes
are proposed. Staff would recommend

signs be placed at locations to the

north and south and adjacent to the car wash to direct traffic coming from Chapel Hill Road and
Illinois Route 120 in and out of the car wash, as well as other internal direction signs for parking
adjacent to the Riverside Chocolate Factory.
Criteria for Approval of a Conditional Use Permit (Table 31 in the City's Zoning Ordinance)
1. Traffic
Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the
zoning district has been minimized.
2. 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.
3. Neighborhood Character
The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or man-made 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Other Factors
The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility pertinent to the
conditional use and its particular location. (MC-91-553).
Reviewing the approval criteria set forth in Table 31 of the zoning ordinance for conditional
uses, as related to the fueling station, drive-in establishment for the car wash, and the drive-in
establishment on the west end of the 8,400 square foot retail building, staff believes the

applicant
has done several
things
to mitigate
any
potential adverse impacts to adjacent
property
owners, particularly
to the
residential to
the
north including:
• LED lighting will be utilized to direct light directly to the source it is intended to serve
and eliminates/vastly reduces glare;
• A 25-foot landscape buffer along the north property line will be installed, including a
combination of landscaping and a six-foot board on -board fence; The City's Forester will
review the landscape plan to ensure compliance and plantings are appropriate -
particularly along the north property line and to ensure there are no utility conflicts
along the north property line with any proposed plantings;
• Staff would recommend a hedge row of low growing evergreen shrubs be planted along
the Route 120 frontage for the 8,400 square -foot retail building, to screen headlights
onto 120 from vehicles utilizing the drive-thru and parking lot as opposed to ornamental
plantings;
• There will be no overnight parking of commercial trucks nor any truck stop amenities
such as showers or a laundry facility.
Variances
The applicant is seeking the following variances form the zoning ordinance:
• Variance from the 10-foot parking screening strip requirement (for the southeast corner
of the site parking adjacent to Riverside Chocolate Factory)
• Variance from the minimum spacing requirement between service stations;
• Variances from the off-street parking and loading requirements;
• Variance to allow multiple principal buildings and land uses on one zoning lot
(convenience store an automobile washing facility);
Variance from the 10-foot parking screening strip requirement (for the southeast corner of
the site -parking adjacent to Riverside Chocolate Factory)
Staff is recommending the parking screening strip along the Route 120 and Chapel Hill frontage
include a continuous hedge row to block headlights from those roadways as stipulated in the
ordinance. The applicant complies with the 10-foot parking screening strip requirement for the
majority of the site. The only area where there is not 10 feet is the southeast corner of the site
adjacent to the Riverside Chocolate Factory. This deviation is a result of the shape of the

property at that location, due to the right -of way and intersection proximity of Chapel Hill Road
and Illinois Route 120.
Variance from the minimum spacing requirement between service stations
The City's zoning ordinance includes the following provision:
"I. SPACING OF SERVICE STATIONS
No automobile service station shall be located within 600 feet of any other automobile service
station." The applicant is requesting a variance from this provision. There is no guideline or
definitive provision stating where this is measured to/from. There's an existing Shell Station at
the northeast corner of Illinois Route 120 and Chapel Hill Road. Without a variance from this
provision this would provide a significant hardship on the proposed development. Staff has no
concerns with this variance.
Variances from the off-street parking and loading requirements
The applicant is seeking a variance from the off-street parking and loading requirements. Lot 1,
which contains the car wash; convenience store; and adjacent retail (restaurant) requires 74
spaces by ordinance. The applicant is providing 77. Lot 2 which includes the adjacent retail
building, including two restaurant spaces, one with a drive-in establishment on the west side
and one without on the east side, as well as the remaining retail requires 85 spaces and 56 are
provided. The ordinance provides that a restaurant with a drive-in establishment construct 10
spaces/1,000 square -feet of net floor area but have space for 15 spaces/1,000 square feet of
net floor area.
Therefore 64 spaces are required to be constructed and the remaining can be landbanked. The
applicant is depicting 32 landbanked spaces on the lot immediately east of the water tower.
With the landbanked parking the applicant does not require a parking variance however
practically the spaces to the north which are landbanked will most likely not be utilized due to
the distance from the retail center (approximately 150'). Staff is not recommending the
landbanked parking be constructed and recommend it only be done if and when it's
determined that it is absolutely needed.

Other factors to take into consideration include: there are seven fueling stations which can
accommodate 14 vehicles and people who are fueling their vehicles will most likely not move
their car to go inside the convenience store. Staff is recommending employee parking signs be
installed and employee parking areas designated, on both Lot 1 and Lot 2 so the employee
parking is farthest from the entrance to the building. Staff is not concerned with the proposed
parking variance of 18 spaces (excluding the 32 landbanked spaces).
Variance to allow multiple principal buildings and land uses on one zoning lot (convenience
store and automobile washing facility)
The zoning ordinance states:
"G. ONE PRINCIPAL BUILDING PER LOT Except within Integrated Design Districts and the Health
Care District no more than one principal building or use shall be permitted on any lot in any
zoning district (MC-97-672)."
The zoning ordinance defines principal building as follows:
"BUILDING, PRINCIPAL:
A non accessory building in which is conducted the principal use of the lot on which it is
located."
While a car wash is typically associated with a fueling station and could be considered an
accessory building or land use which is accessory/subordinate to a fueling station, an 8,400
square -foot convenience store and 1,500 square -foot retail building also lie on the same lot.
The proposed car wash is 4,900 square -feet.
The definition of automobile service station does not include a car wash as an accessory use
and an automobile laundry can also be a stand alone land use in many cases. Therefore staff is
recommending a variance to allow multiple land uses and principal buildings on Lot 1, however
believes the uses are complimentary and will enhance the development. All major fueling
center developments, with the exception of a couple of brands, include car washes. The
proposed car wash on the subject property is a $2.5 million investment, therefore a large part
of the overall operation.

AND ZONING PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION]
Staff supports all variances being requested. They are minimal and will not adversely impact
adjacent properties. The applicant must comply with all ordinances relative to lighting, noise or
other ordinances from which variances are not being requested.
Table 32 approval criteria for variances in the zoning ordinance includes the following, and staff
believes all criteria for the aforementioned variances has been satisfied.
Criteria for Approval of a Variance (Table 32 in the City's Zoning Ordinance)
1. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere
Special circumstances, fully described in the written findings, exist that are peculiar to the
property for which the variance is sought and that do not apply generally to other properties
in the same zoning district. And these circumstances are not of so general or recurrent a
nature as to make it reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them.
2. Circumstances Relate to the Property Only
Since a variance will affect the character of its surroundings long after a property changes
hands, the special circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character of the
land or building(s) for which a variance is sought, such as dimensions, topography, or soil
conditions. They do not concern any business or activity the present or prospective owner or
tenant carries on, or seeks to carry on, therein, nor to the personal, business, or financial
circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other party with interest in the property.
3. Not Resulting from Applicant Action
The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance have not resulted from any act of
the applicant or of any other party with interest in the property.
4. Unnecessary Hardship
For reasons fully set forth in the written findings, the strict application of the provisions of this
Ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue hardship upon the applicant, as
distinguished from mere inconvenience.
5. Preserves Rights Conferred by District
A variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial property right
possessed by other properties in the same zoning district and does not confer a special
privilege ordinarily denied to other properties in the district.

REQUIRED TO DEVELOP THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN SUBSTANTIAL
ACCORDANCE WITH THE SITE AND LANDSCAPE PLANS AND
BUILDING ELEVATIONS SUBMITTED AS PART OF THE PLANNING
AND ZONING PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION]
6. Necessary for Use of Property
The grant of a variance is necessary not because it will increase the applicant's economic
return, although it may have this effect, but because without a variance the applicant will be
deprived of any reasonable use or enjoyment of the property.
7. Not Alter Local Character
The granting of the 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.
8. Consistent With Ordinance and Plan
The granting of a variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this
Ordinance and of the Comprehensive Plan of the City, as viewed in light of any changed
conditions since their adoption.
9. Minimum Variance Recommended
The variance recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved by the City
Council is the minimum required to provide the applicant with reasonable use and enjoyment
of his property.
Staff recommends the Commission make three separate motions; however the Commission can
also choose to vote on the variances separately.

Re: Heidner Properties Subdivision (86160287)
Dear Mr. Martin:
WREEN.00f.1
The following items were received by HR Green Inc. (HR Green) on June 21, 2016, for our initial review:
• Final Plat of Subdivision prepared by Vanderstappen Land Surveying, Inc. on June 7, 2016.
• ALTA/Land Title Survey prepared by Vanderstappen Land Surveying, Inc. February 16, 2016.
• Engineering Plans prepared by Haeger Engineering on June 14, 2016,
• Traffic Impact Study for Proposed Ricky Rockets Fuel Center prepared by KLOA on June 21, 2016.
Our original review of the submitted documents was to the level of Preliminary Engineering. During the course of
the review by both the City's Public Works Staff and HR Green, items that would be required during a final
engineering submittal were noticed. These comments have also been included to assist the design engineer as
this project progresses. The following comments under the Preliminary Engineering heading should be
addressed prior to the Planning and Zoning board submittal.
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING COMMENTS
These items were missing from this submittal and are required as part of preliminary engineering plan and plat
review per Chapter 3/Section 3.2 of the City Subdivision Control and Development Ordinance:
• Soils Map and Analysis prepared by McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation District
• Documentation providing evidence that the property to be developed has been inspected by a
qualified professional to determine whether or not a wetland or special flood hazard area is present.
• Copies of all other applications to other agencies having jurisdiction over the development. This
would include IDOT and MCDOT.
A current title commitment for an owner's title insurance policy.
A draft of protective covenants, whereby the subdivider proposed to regulate land use or continued
maintenance within the subdivision.
PLAT OF SUBDIVISION
1. Existing and Proposed Zoning should be provided.
2. McHenry County DOT certificate should be added for approval since parcel fronts on Chapel Hill Road.
3. Discussion with IDOT to determine if additional ROW is required along its frontage on IL Route 120 is
required.
4. Note stating the subdivision will follow zoning requirements/setbacks as described in McHenry Zoning
Ordinance or Building setback lines should be added.

HR GREEN
1. Sidewalk should be extended from the west end of the property, north of Route 120, to the intersection of
Chapel Hill and Route 120,
2. Per B.11 of Chapter VII of the Zoning Ordinance, all uses providing over 25 parking spaces shall provide
space and facilities for bicycle parking. This provision is not applicable to properties zoned Business Park
or Industrial District classifications. (MC-91-553)
3. Per Table 10: Parking and Loading Dimensions in Section C of Chapter VII of the Zoning Ordinance, the
maximum driveway width is 36'.
4. Per Table 11, Retail and Service Buildings 5,000 to 10,000 square feet in net floor area shall provide one
loading space. (This does not apply to C4 Downtown Commercial District).
5. Per Section B of Chapter VIII of the Zoning Ordinance, a landscaped strip is required including trees and
shrubs, which may be combined with a solid fence or wall located along the length of all lot lines
(excluding the width of access ways) that abut an adjacent residentially -zoned parcel on a parcel devoted
to a more intensive residential, office, commercial, or industrial an use, whether or not an offstreet
parking, loading, or refuse area is present. If a solid wall is proposed it shall undulate by a minimum of 2-
feet forward and back for each 25-feet in length. Area for side and rear yard screen strip shall be
provided per Table 14 of that same section.
6. Per Section B of Chapter VIII, a 10-foot landscaped strip which shall consist of densely clustered groups
of varying species and size of shrubs and trees, and berming, which may include a solid wall or fence all
which shall not exceed 4-feet in height at installation or maturity and shall not be less than 3-feet in height
or minimum as determined by the Zoning Administrator shall be provided to affectively provide screening
form parking lots except for trees which must maintain a minimum 7-foot trimmed canopy off the ground
as to not obstruct views into and out of the site. This shall be located around the perimeter of the parking
lot to screen vehicles and vehicle headlights from adjacent public ways. The clustering of the groups of
plants shall allow for plowing and snow storage. A solid row of hedges, one type of plant or solely a solid
wall shall not be permitted unless it is determined by the Zoning Administrator that this would be the only
way to effectively screen vehicle headlights. The parking screening strip is required for all off-street
parking lots containing more than 5 parking spaces and any vehicle or equipment storage lots or vehicle
or equipment sales lots.
7. Also, per B-3 in Chapter VIII, a landscaped island is an 8 x 15 island in the interior of an off-street parking
area is to be provided every 15 parking spaces and at the ends of parking rows. The intent of the parking
islands is to provide shade trees on hot summer days, reduce the effects of the urban heat island by
reducing paved surfaces and visually breaking up the expanse of asphalt.

8. Detention areas shall be designed per the City's Subdivision Control and Development Ordinance in
terms of retaining or detaining water and all engineering requirements. However, it shall be noted that
detention areas should be designed to appear as natural as possible per the City Zoning Ordinance (B4
of Vh VIII). Landscaping shall be required around the perimeter of all retention and detention basins,
which shall consist of trees, shrubs and emergent plantings in a quantity, species and arrangement that
will create an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically functional environment. All landscaping shall
conform with the approved landscape list. Plantings around basins shall be salt tolerant. Such
landscaping shall be in conformance with Best Management Practices as determined by the City.
9. Per T-4.7 of the Technical Reference Manual: Dry detention basins shall be designed with side slopes
not steeper than five (5) horizontal to one (1) vertical. The basin floor shall have a slope of not less than
two (2) percent. In order to prevent soil erosion and weed problems the detention basin shall be
landscaped including sodding and/or hydro -seeding of the basin as required. The basin shall also have a
low flow underdrain consisting of a minimum ten (10) inch storm sewer or perforated drain tile. Detention
basins with permanent ponds shall be graded such that the area one (1) foot above the normal water
level to two (2) feet below normal water level has a slope of five (5) horizontal to one (1) vertical. The area
from one (1) foot above normal water level to two (2) feet below normal water shall have a shoreline
protection consisting of the installation of a woven erosion control fabric with native wetland and prairie
plantings. At the point two (2) feet below normal water level a ledge eight (8) feet wide shall be
constructed. From the edge of this eight (8) foot ledge the ground shall slope at two (2) horizontal to one
(1) vertical for an additional three (3) foot depth. If fish life is to be sustained in the basin an area equal to
twenty-five (25) percent of the normal water surface area shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet deep.
The ground above one (1) fool above the normal water elevation shall have a slope not steeper than ten
(10) horizontal to one (1) vertical for a minimum horizontal distance of twenty (20) feet. Above this
elevation the slopes within the basin shall not be steeper than six (6) horizontal to one (1) vertical for
shallower than two (2) percent.
10. Generally, it is preferable that municipal utilities be placed outside IDOT and County ROW in exclusive
easements dedicated to the City.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
1. With regards to infiltration within the depressional areas: The curve number may be based on the
existing vegetated ground condition which itself accounts for normal infiltration into the soil. However, to
the extent that water is trapped until it evaporates or is percolated into the ground, this is volume that is
not currently seen by the downstream watershed and therefore is an essential component of the
depressional volume that must be compensated for. Infiltration may not be used to reduce depressional
storage.
2. With the significant onsite depressional storage areas it must be determined if the existing runoff rate is
less than the 0.15 cfs/acre release rate.
3. If the western depressional area does not overflow to the eastern depressional area (or any other outfall)
in the 100 year storm, the tributary acreage must be excluded from the allowable release rate.

Heldner Properties Subdivision
(86160287)

4. The outlet pipes for the surface basins should be set 1above the invert of the basins to compensate for
the existing condition onsite infiltration. The bottom should be treated as a rain garden and the volume
may be counted toward the depressional storage requirement.
5. A previous email transmittal regarding this site suggests that there are no offsite areas. We disagree with
this conclusion in the following areas:
a. There are back yards that appear to be tributary along the northern edge of the property. It
appears along the eastern half of the property it would be appropriate to have a swale along the
lot line to direct this flow to the Chapel Hill Road right-of-way.
b. Along the western half there is a lower area that is tributary to the western depressional area and
therefore should be considered in the depressional storage calculation and routed to the north
detention basin in the proposed condition.
c. County Lane is indicated by County topography to be a depressional area with an overflow either
to Chapel Hill Road or to western back yards described above, or both. Analysis is required to
determine the overflow route and if overflow of this depressional area will be tributary to the
onsite depressional area.
d. Areas of the IDOT right-of-way may be tributary to the site in the existing and/or proposed site
conditions. Existing tributary area must be included in the depressional storage calculation.
6. The viability of this site is dependent on discharge to the [DOT storm sewer system at the southeast
corner of the property. Given the existing depressional storage area on the site, it is expected that the
minimum 4• orifice will be used for discharge from the basin to the IDOT system. Approval from IDOT for
this connection and discharge to the IDOT system will be required. Submittal to ]DOT should be made as
soon as possible since this is critical to the design of the stormwater system.
TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
1. Trip generation numbers are low for Specialty Retail and Coffee/Donut Shop. The report should state
why different numbers were assumed.
2. Square footage used for calculations is lower than that of plans.
3. IL 120 is an SRA route—IDOT may not approve a left turn lane on IL 120 for a commercial entrance which
means more left turn vehicles turning off of Chapel Hill Road and the development isn't showing any
improvements at this entrance along Chapel Hill.
4. Currently, there are no connections shown between commercial businesses. Recommend that this be
considered for this site and the adjacent existing development.

fo be addressed at this time, but will need to be addressed prior to final engineering approval.)

1. Sidewalk should be extended from the west end of the properly, north of Route 120, to the intersection of
Chapel Hill and Route 120, Response: Sidewalk has been extended along road frontages. Not
adequately addressed. Sidewalk does not fully extend to Chapel Hill Road on Route 120 or to
Route 120 on Chapel Hill Road nor does internal sidewalk extend to edge of pavement of Country
Lane,
2. Per B.11 of Chapter VII of the Zoning Ordinance, all uses providing over 25 parking spaces shall provide
space and facilities for bicycle parking. This provision is not applicable to properties zoned Business Park
or Industrial District classifications. (MC-91-553) Response: Bicycle parking areas have been added.
OK.
3. Per Table 10: Parking and Loading Dimensions in Section C of Chapter VII of the Zoning Ordinance, the
maximum driveway width is 36" Response: Driveways have been designed to adequately accommodate
commercial traffic and turning movements. Driveways still exceed 36' maximum per ordinance. HR
Green has no objections to driveways as currently shown with the exception that sidewalks shall
be extended across them, however, widths and configurations will need to be approved by County
and IDOT prior to City consideration of approval.
4. Per Table 11, Retail and Service Buildings 5,000 to 10,000 square feet in net floor area shall provide one
loading space. (This does not apply to C-4 Downtown Commercial District). Response: Loading areas
for each lot have been added. OK.
5, Per Section B of Chapter VIII of the Zoning Ordinance, a landscaped strip is required including trees and
shrubs, which may be combined with a solid fence or wall located along the length of all lot lines
(excluding the width of access ways) that abut an adjacent residentially -zoned parcel on a parcel devoted
to a more intensive residential, office, commercial, or industrial land use, whether or not an offstreet
parking, loading, or refuse area is present. If a solid wall is proposed it shall undulate by a minimum of 2-
feet forward and back for each 25-feet in length. Area for side and rear yard screen strip shall be
provided per Table 14 of that same section. Response: A screening wall has been added along the

or minimum as determined by the Zoning Administrators a provided to affeclively provide screening
form parking lots except for trees which must maintain a minimum 7-foot trimmed canopy off the ground
as to not obstruct views into and out of the site. This shall be located around the perimeter of the parking
lot to screen vehicles and vehicle headlights from adjacent public ways. The clustering of the groups of
plants shall allow for plowing and snow storage. A solid row of hedges, one type of plant or solely a solid
wall shall not be permitted unless it is determined by the Zoning Administrator that this would be the only
way to affectively screen vehicle headlights. The parking screening strip is required for all off-street
parking lots containing more than 5 parking spaces and any vehicle or equipment storage lots or vehicle
or equipment sales lots. Response: A 10' landscaped strip has been added to screen parking lots from
public ways. Not adequately addressed. Information not provided. Landscape plan was not
provided. There is a proposed fence offset from rear property line by 5.5'. There is no indication
of screening on the banked parking area.
7. Also, per B-3 in Chapter VIII, a landscaped island is an 8 x 15 island in the interior of an off-street parking
area is to be provided every 15 parking spaces and at the ends of parking rows. The intent of the parking
islands is to provide shade trees on hot summer days, reduce the effects of the urban heat island by
reducing paved surfaces and visually breaking up the expanse of asphalt. Response: A landscaped
island has been added to conform with this requirement. OK, subject to City approval.
8. Detention areas shall be designed per the City's Subdivision Control and Development Ordinance in
terms of retaining or detaining water and all engineering requirements. However, it shall be noted that
detention areas should be designed to appear as natural as possible per the City Zoning Ordinance (134
of Vh VIII). Landscaping shall be required around the perimeter of all retention and detention basins,
which shall consist of trees, shrubs and emergent plantings in a quantity, species and arrangement that
will create an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically functional environment. All landscaping shall
conform with the approved landscape list. Plantings around basins shall be salt tolerant. Such
landscaping shall be in conformance with Best Management Practices as determined by the City.
Response: Detention areas have been discussed with HR Green and shall be landscaped in accordance
with the City Zoning Ordinance. No landscaping plan was provided, this shall be a part of final
review.
9. Per T-4.7 of the Technical Reference Manual: Dry detention basins shall be designed with side slopes
not steeper than five (5) horizontal to one (1) vertical. The basin floor shall have a slope of not less than
two (2) percent. In order to prevent soil erosion and weed problems the detention basin shall be
landscaped including sodding and/or hydro -seeding of the basin as required. The basin shall also have a
low flow underdrain consisting of a minimum ten (10) inch storm sewer or perforated drain tile. Detention
basins with permanent ponds shall be graded such that the area one (1) foot above the normal water
level to two (2) feet below normal water level has a slope of five (5) horizontal to one (1) vertical. The area
from one (1) foot above normal water level to two (2) feet below normal water shall have a shoreline
protection consisting of the installation of a woven erosion control fabric with native wetland and prairie
plantings. At the point two (2) feet below normal water level a ledge eight (8) feet wide shall be
constructed. From the edge of this eight (8) foot ledge the ground shall slope at two (2) horizontal to one
(1) vertical for an additional three (3) foot depth. If fish life is to be sustained in the basin an area equal to
twenty-five (25) percent of the normal water surface area shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet deep.

The ground above one (1) foot above the normal water elevation shall have a slope not steeper than ten
(10) horizontal to one (1) vertical for a minimum horizontal distance of twenty (20) feet. Above this
elevation the slopes within the basin shall not be steeper than six (6) horizontal to one (1) vertical for
shallower than two (2) percent. Response: The proposed detention pond is designed in accordance with
the City of McHenry requirements. Not adequately addressed. There is no safety ledge. Slopes are
steeper than 10:1 one foot above normal water elevation, etc.
10. Generally, it is preferable that municipal utilities be placed outside [DOT and County ROW in exclusive
easements dedicated to the City. Response: The proposed municipal utilities are located outside of the
ROW and will be placed in easements. Not adequately addressed. It is unclear where the ROW line
Is on the south side of Route 120 and where the watermain is placed In relation to that line.
11. Plan does not meet the parking requirements without additional parking lot indicated as "banked"
on this plan. It Is recommended that the banked parking lot be constructed as part of this plat and
plan or that a variance to parking requirements of the ordinance be requested by developer and
reviewed and approved as part of preliminary approval.
12, Auto -turn analysis should be provided for this site. The truck parking area to the east of the
proposed detention basin does not appear viable for traffic and should be angled in the opposite
direction. The curb return radius and the sidewalk at the southeast corner of the banked parking
lot appear to be subject to rollover by right turning vehicles from the east. Stacking In the drive
through lane on the west side of the Lot 2 building Is minimal. More stacking Is recommended.
Auto -turn should check If vehicles will be able to make turns southbound into the "bypass" lane
next to the drive through if vehicles stack past the end of the striped lane.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
1. With regards to infiltration within the depressional areas: The curve number may be based on the existing
vegetated ground condition which itself accounts for normal infiltration into the soil. However, to the
extent that water is trapped until it evaporates or is percolated into the ground, this is volume that is not
currently seen by the downstream watershed and therefore is an essential component of the depressional
volume that must be compensated for. Infiltration may not be used to reduce depressional storage.
Response: It is understood that infiltration may not be used to reduce depressional storage. Therefore, a
composite curve number was calculated with respect to the existing characteristics of the tributary area.
All curve number calculations have been identified on the Existing Conditions Drainage Exhibit. OK.
2. With the significant onsite depressional storage areas it must be determined if the existing runoff rate is
less than the 0,15 cfs/acre release rate. Response: An existing conditions critical duration analysis was
analyzed to better understand functionality of the depressional area. Based on the results of this
hydrologic model, it is understood that the depressional area does not overflow during the 100-year
critical duration analysis. Therefore, the maximum volume within the depressional storage area is
achieved during the 100-Year, 240-Hour storm event. A summary of this analysis is provided within the
Preliminary Stormwater Report.
Furthermore, the existing conditions were examined to understand the peak flow rates into the IDOT
Storm Sewer along IL Route 120. It shall be understood that all onsfte liibutary areas (Sub -Basin 1, 2A,
28) ultimately discharge into the IDOT Sewer along IL Route 120. Although the depressional area (Sub -
Basin No 1) does not overflow, a peak flow rate of 4.96 CFS was calculated fro the 100-Year Critical

Duration Analysis into the IDOT Storm Sewer for the entire onsife development tributary. This peak flow
as determined at the 100-Year, 2-Hour Event.
OK, conditional upon IDOT approval.
3. If the western depressional area does not overflow to the eastern depressional area (or any other outfall)
in the 100 year storm, the tributary acreage must be excluded from the allowable release rate. Response:
Based on the analysis outlined within the above response (Comment No. 2), the eastern depressional
area does not overflow during the critical duration 100-Year Storm Event. Therefore, the tributary
acreage shall be excluded from the allowable release rate for the onsife development. Per a phone
conversation with Menhard Consulting and HR Green on August 2, 2016, the onsife allowable release
rate shall be calculated as follows:
Existing Conditions Tributary Area to Depression (ONSITE ONLY) = 3.05 Ac.
Proposed Conditions Tributary Area = 7.00 Ac. (TOTAL)
Per H.R. Green, the tributary acreage must be excluded from the allowable release
7.00 Ac. — 3,05 Ac. = 3.95 Ac. (To Calculate Allowable Release Rate)
3.95 Ac, X 0,15 CFS = 0.59 CFS
Note: Refer to the Existing and Proposed Drainage Condition Exhibits provided with the
Preliminary Stomnwater Report for clarification. OK.
4. The outlet pipes for the surface basins should be set 1' above the invert of the basins to compensate for
the existing condition onsite infiltration. The bottom should be treated as a rain garden and the volume
may be counted toward the depressional storage requirement. Response: All outlet pipes will be
designed during the Final Engineering Phase of development. At that time, all rain gardens and bio-
i Final
En facilities will be coortfinaled with the Final Landscape Plans. OK, to be evaluated as part of
Final Engineering review.
5. A previous email transmittal regarding this site suggests that there are no offsite areas. We disagree with
this conclusion in the following areas:
a. There are back yards that appear to be tributary along the northern edge of the property, it
appears along the eastern half of the property it would be appropriate to have a Swale along the
lot line to direct this flow to the Chapel Hill Road right-of-way. Response: The Existing Drainage
Conditions Exhibit confirms that the back yards are tributary to the property, and this area has
been included in the existing conditions analysis. At this Preliminary Design Phase, the ofisite tributary area has been routed through the proposed detention basin as `Ofisite Bypass Flow". However implementation of a bypass Swale will be further examined during the Final Des Phase. OK, to be evaluated as part of Final Engineering review, ign
b. Along the western half there is a lower area that is tributary to the western depressional area and
therefore should be considered in the depressional storage calculation and routed to the north
detention basin in the proposed condition. Response: An additional topographic survey was
performed by Vanderstappen Land Surveying, Inc. (712212016) io better understand vethe drainage
characteristics of the onsite property. The information is depicted on the Existing Condition
Drainage Exhibit forfurther clarification. OK, to be further evaluated as part of Final
Engineering review.
c. County Lane is indicated by County topography to be a depressional area with an overflow either
to Chapel Hill Road or to western back yards described above, or both. Analysis is required to
determine the overflow route and if overflow of this depressional area will be tributary to the

onsite depressional area. Response: An additional topographic survey was performed by
Vanderstappen Land Surveying, Inc. (712212016) to better understand the drainage
characteristics of the offsite property. The filed information provided confirms that County Lane
overflows into the Chapel Hill Road Right -of --Way. This runoff is then collected by a ditch along
Chapel Hill Road, and it is ultimately collected by the IDOT Storm Sewer along IL Route 120,
The data and overflow point are depicter/ on the Existing Condition Drainage Exhibit for further
clarification. OK, to be further evaluated as part of Final Engineering review.
d. Areas of the IDOT right-of-way may be tributary to the site in the existing and/or proposed site
conditions. Existing tributary area must be included in the depressional storage calculation.
Response: Existing tributary areas have been updated with additional topographic information
and analysis. This includes portions of IDOT R.O.W. which are shown on the Existing Condition
Drainage Exhibit. The existing conditions analysis is a comprehensive examination of the total
tributaryarea. OK, to be further evaluated as part of Final Engineering review.
ti. The viability of this site is dependent on discharge to the ]DOT storm sewer system at the southeast
corner of the property. Given the existing depressional storage area on the site, it is expected that the
minimum 40 orifice will be used for discharge from the basin to the ]DOT system. Approval from IDOT for
this connection and discharge to the IDOT system will be required. Submittal to IDOT should be made as
soon as possible since this is critical to the design of the stormwater system. Response: Manhard
Consulting has had several phone conversations with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
Hydraulics Department to discuss the project. Prior to Final Engineering, a formal pre -application meeting
will be conducted with IDOT to better define the design parameters. OK, while proposed stormwater
management system, for the most part (except as noted above) appears to work with the current
design, the lack of County and State review and approval may cause significant changes to the
plans and that system. Submittal to IDOT should be made and approval by the County should be
provided as soon as possible since this is critical to the design of the stormwater system and the
site.

1. Trip generation numbers are low for Specialty Retail and Coffee/Donut Shop. The report should state
why different numbers were assumed. Response: This will be addressed in the updated traffic study to
be issued upon receipt of comments from IDOT. Information not provided.
2. Square footage used for calculations is lower than that of plans. Response: The additional retail
contiguous to the convenience store was not included in the initial traffic study. The traffic study is being
updated to include this retail. The inclusion of this retail will have a de minimis impact on the traffic
volumes and levels of service indicated within the report. Information not provided.
3. IL 120 is an SRA route —IDOT may not approve a left turn lane on IL 120 for a commercial entrance which
means more left turn vehicles turning off of Chapel Hill Road and the development isn't showing any
improvements at this entrance along Chapel Hill, Response: We will address this once comments have
been received from IDOT. Information not provided. Not adequately addressed.
4. Currently, there are no connections shown between commercial businesses. Recommend that this be
considered for this site and the adjacent existing development. Response: We are providing cross

HR Green's reviews are to determine compliance with the municipal Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance
and State Statute and in a manner consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by Engineers
and Surveyors currently practicing under similar circumstances. HR Green's review did not include an

Dear Mr. Werthmann:
The McHenry County. Division of Transportation (MCDOT) is in receipt of the following
documents:
• (1) Cover letter dated June 21, 2016; received June 22, 2016
• (2) Sets of Traffic Impact Study (revised), dated June 21, 2016; received June 22, 2016
• (1) Set of Conceptual Site Plan (revised), dated May 11, 2016; received May 24, 2016
On behalf of the MCDOT, following are review comments.
The conceptual site plan has been revised from what was previously proposed as a restricted
riglrt4n/riglrt-out/left-out access on Chapel Hill Road to now show a full access with a proposed
interconnection to the existing Riverside Chocolate Factory, located on the immediate northwest
corner of Illinois Route 120 and Chapel Hill Road.
Your revised traffic study indicates that while no left-hun lane is proposed on Chapel Hill Road
to service this proposed Rill access, consideration should be given to modifying the existing
striped median and southbound left -turn lane on Chapel Hill Road to accommodate additional
vehicles that will turn left into the site.
Use of the painted median to execute northbound to westbound left4urns into this fill access on
Chapel Hill Road may create an unsafe condition with the existing intersection geometry. The
proposed Chapel Hill Road frill access, located approximately 450 feet north of the Illinois Route
120/Chapel Hill Road intersection, will conflict with the existing lane channelization on Chapel
Hill Road. This channelization is the result of an approved Illinois Department of Transportation

(IDOT) Intersection Design Study that accommodates the capacity needs of the intersection. Any
modifications to Chapel Hill Road may affect the operation of IDOT's traffic signal at this
intersection; therefore, any reduction or modification to the median and southbound left turn lane
onto Illinois Route 120 is not acceptable. Due to the existing extended queue lengths during the
existing and project peak hours, a full access at this location would require additional and
extensive lane construction on Chapel Hill Road north and possibly south of the Illinois Route
120/Chapel Hill Road intersection, to be able to increase capacity and offset the disruption to
southbound left -turn movements, and create a safe condition for northbound left turning vehicles
into the Ricky Rockets Fuel Center site. Therefore, the proposed development access to Chapel
Hill Road must be restricted to a right-in/right-out/left-out configuration. A right -in deceleration
and right -out acceleration lane need to be incorporated into the access.
In addition, the conceptual plan shows converting the existing Riverside Chocolate Factory
access on Chapel Hill Road to a riglit-in/right-out configuration. Given the proposed
interconnection between developments and the proximity to the intersection, this riglit-in/right-
out access should be relocated to a point approximately 70 feet farther north to align with an
existing access on the east side of Chapel Hill Road. Moving the access to the north improves the
safety of the intersection and also discourages heavy cut4lint traffic between the sites. It is
farther recommended that the developer work with IDOT and the owners of the Riverside
Chocolate Factory to relocate their existing access on Illinois Route 120 to a location farther to
the west, away from the intersection. Close coordination and communication between the
developer and this property owner is essential moving forward with this project.
Please review the above comments and provide a disposition of comments with your next
submittal. Future submittals may be sent electronically and may result in additional review
continents based on resubmittals• Please be sore to provide MCDOT with copies of any City or
IDOT review comments.

street parking area is to be provided every 15 parking spaces and at the ends of parking rows.
The intent of the parking islands is to provide shade trees on hot summer days, reduce the
effects of the urban heat island by reducing paved surfaces and visually breaking up the
expanse of asphalt.
Response: A landscaped island has been added to conform with this requirement.
8. Detention areas shall be designed per the City's Subdivision Control and Development
Ordinance in terms of retaining or detaining water and all engineering requirements. However, it
shall be noted that detention areas should be designed to appear as natural as possible per the
City Zoning Ordinance (B4 of Vh Vlll). Landscaping shall be required around the perimeter of all
retention and detention basins, which shall consist of trees, shrubs and emergent plantings in a
quantity, species and arrangement that will create an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically
functional environment. All landscaping shall conform with the approved landscape list. Plantings
around basins shall be salt tolerant. Such landscaping shall be in conformance with Best
Management Practices as determined by the City.
Response: Detention areas have been discussed with HR Green and shall be landscaped
in accordance with the City Zoning Ordinance.
9. Per T4.7 of the Technical Reference Manual: Dry detention basins sha// be designed with side
slopes not steeper than five (5) horizontal to one (1) vertical. The basin floor shall have a slope
of not less than two (2) percent. In order to prevent soil erosion and weed problems the
detention basin shall be landscaped including sodding and/or hydro -seeding of the basin as
required. The basin shall also have a low now underdrain consisting of a minimum ten (10) inch
storm sewer or perforated drain tile. Detention basins with permanent ponds shall be graded
such that the area one (1) foot above the normal water level to two (2) feet below normal water
level has a slope of five (5) horizontal to one (1) vertical. The area from one (1) foot above
normal water level to two (2) feet below normal water shall have a shoreline protection consisting
of the installation of a woven erosion control fabric with native wetland and prairie plantings. At
the point two (2) feet below normal water level a ledge eight (8) feet wide shall be constructed.
From the edge of this eight (6) foot ledge the ground shall slope at two (2) horizontal to one (1)
vertical for an additional three (3) foot depth. If fish life is to be sustained in the basin an area
equal to twenty-five (25) percent of the normal water surface area shall be a minimum of twelve
(12) feet deep. The ground above one (1) foot above the normal water elevation shall have a

slope not steeper than ten (10) horizontal to one (1) vertical for a minimum horizontal distance of
twenty (20) feet. Above this elevation the slopes within the basin shall not be steeper than six (6)
horizontal to one (1) vertical for shallower than two (2) percent.
Response: The proposed detention pond is designed in accordance with the City of
McHenry requirements.
10. Generally, it is preferable that municipal utilities be placed outside IDOT and County ROW in
exclusive easements dedicated to the City.
Response: The proposed municipal utilities are located outside of the ROW and will be
placed in easements.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
With regards to infiltration within the depressional areas: The curve number maybe based on
the existing vegetated ground condition which itself accounts for normal infiltration into the soil.
However, to the extent that water is trapped until it evaporates or is percolated into the ground,
this is volume that is not currently seen by the downstream watershed and therefore is an
essential component of the depressional volume that must be compensated for. Infiltration may
not be used to reduce depressional storage.
Response: It is understood that infiltration may not be used to reduce depressional
storage. Therefore, a composite curve number was calculated with respect to the existing
characteristics of the tributary area. All curve number calculations have been identified
on the Existing Conditions Drainage Exhibit.
2. With the significant onsite depressional storage areas it must be determined if the existing runoff
rate is less than the 0.15 cfs/acre release rate.
Response: An existing conditions critical duration analysis was analyzed to better
understand functionality of the depressional area. Based on the results of this hydrologic
model, it is understood that the depressional area does not overflow during the 100-year
critical duration analysis. Therefore, the maximum volume within the depressional
storage area is achieved during the 100-Year, 240-Hour storm event. A summary of this
analysis is provided within the Preliminary Stormwater Report.
Furthermore, the existing conditions were examined to understand the peak flow rates
into the IDOT Storm Sewer along IL Route 120. It shall be understood that all onsite
tributary areas (Sub -Basin 1, 2A, 2B) ultimately discharge into the MOT Sewer along IL
Route 120, Although the depressional area (Sub Basin No. 1) does not overflow, a peak
flow rate of 4.96 CFS was calculated for the 100-Year Critical Duration Analysis into the
IDOT Storm Sewer for the entire onsite development tributary. This peak flow was
determined at the 100-Year, 2-Hour Event.
3. If the western depressional area does not overflow to the eastern depressional area (or any
other outfall) in the 100 year storm, the tributary acreage must be excluded from the allowable
release rate.
Response: Based on the analysis outlined within the above response (Comment No. 2).
the eastern depressional area does not overflow during the critical duration 100-Year
Storm Event. Therefore, the tributary acreage shall be excluded from the allowable
release rate for the onsite development. Per a phone conversation with Manhard
Consulting and HR Green on August 2, 2016, the onsite allowable release rate shall be
calculated as follows:
Mr. Martin
August 08, 2016
Page 5
t
o Existing Conditions Tributary Area to Depression (ONSITE ONLY) = 3.05 Ac.
o Proposed Conditions Tributary Area = 7.00 Ac. (TOTAL)
o Per H.R. Green, the tributary acreage must be excluded from the allowable release
0 7.00 Ac. — 3.06 Ac. = 3.96 Ac. (To Calculate Allowable Release Rate)
0 3.95 Ac. x 0.15 CFS = 0.59 CFS
Note: Refer to the Existing and Proposed Drainage Condition Exhibits provided
within the Preliminary Stormwater Report for clarification.
4. The outlet pipes for the surface basins should be set 1' above the invert of the basins to
compensate for the existing condition onsite infiltration. The bottom should be treated as a rain
garden and the volume may be counted toward the depressional storage requirement.
Response: All outlet pipes will be designed during the Final Engineering Phase of
development. At that time, all rain gardens and bio-infiltration facilities will be
coordinated with the Final Landscape Plans.
HPI.MHIL01
5. A previous email transmittal regarding this site suggests that there are no offsite areas. We
disagree with this conclusion in the following areas:
a. There are back yards that appear to be tributary along the northern edge of the property.
It appears along the eastern half of the property it would be appropriate to have a swale
along the lot line to direct this flow to the Chapel Hill Road right-of-way.
Response: The Existing Drainage Conditions Exhibit Confirms that the back yards
are tributary to the property, and this area has been included in the existing
conditions analysis. At this Preliminary Design Phase, the offsite tributary area
has been routed through the proposed detention basin as "Offsite Bypass Flow".
However, implementation of a bypass swale will be further examined during the
Final Design Phase.
b. Along the western half there is a lower area that is tributary to the western depressional
area and therefore should be considered in the depressional storage calculation and
routed to the north detention basin in the proposed condition.
Response: An additional topographic survey was performed by Vanderstappen
Land Surveying, Inc. (7/22116) to better understand the drainage characteristics of
the offsite property. The information is depicted on the Existing Condition
Drainage Exhibit for further clarification
c. County Lane is indicated by County topography to be a depressional area with an
overflow either to Chapel Hill Road or to western back yards described above, or both.
Analysis is required to determine the overflow route and if overflow of this depressional
area will be tributary to the onsite depressional area.
Response: An additional topographic survey was performed by Vanderstappen
Land Surveying, Inc. (7/22/16) to better understand the drainage characteristics of
the offsite property. The field information provided confirms that County Lane
overflows into the Chapel Hill Road Right -of -Way. This runoff is then collected by
a ditch along Chapel Hill Road, and it is ultimately collected by the IDOT Storm
Sewer along IL Route 120. The data and overflow point are depicted on the
Existing Condition Drainage Exhibit for further clarification.
d. Areas of the IDOT right-of-way may be tributary to the site in the existing and/or
proposed site conditions. Existing tributary area must be included in the depressional
storage calculation.
Mr. Martin
August 06, 2016
Page 6
Response: Existing tributary areas have been updated with additional
Topographic information and analysis. This includes portions of ]DOT R.O.W.
which are shown on the Existing Condition Drainage Exhibit. The existing
conditions analysis is a comprehensive examination of the total tributary area.
6. The viability of this site is dependent on discharge to the IDOT storm sewer system at the
southeast comer of the property. Given the existing depressional storage area on the site, it is
expected that the minimum 4" orifice will be used for discharge from the basin to the IDOT
system. Approval from IDOT for this connection and discharge to the IDOT system will be
required. Submittal to IDOT should be made as soon as possible since this is critical to the
design of the stormwater system.
Response: Manhard Consulting has had several phone conversations with the Illinois
Department of Transportation (IDOT) Hydraulics Department to discuss the project. Prior
to Final Engineering, a formal pre -application meeting will be conducted with IDOT to
better define the design parameters.
HPI.MHIL01
TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
1. Trip generation numbers are low for Specialty Retail and Coffee/Donut Shop. The report should
state why different numbers were assumed.
Response: This will be addressed in the updated traffic study to be issued upon receipt of
comments from [DOT.
2. Square footage used for calculations is lower than that of plans.
Response: The additional retail contiguous to the convenience store was not included in
the initial traffic study. The traffic study is being updated to include this retail. The
inclusion of this retail will have a de minimis impact on the traffic volumes and levels of
service indicated within the report.
3. It 120 is an SRA route —IDOT may not approve a left tum lane on IL 120 for a commercial
entrance which means more left turn vehicles turning off of Chapel Hill Road and the
development isn't showing any improvements at this entrance along Chapel Hill.
Response: We will address this once comments have been received from IDOT.
4. Currently, there are no connections shown between commercial businesses. Recommend that
this be considered for this site and the adjacent existing development.
Response: We are providing cross access with the Riverside Chocolate Factory, and the
applicant is willing to reasonably accommodate cross access with the property to the
west.

Development Narrative
NWC Illinois Route 120 & Chapel Hill Road
Bluestone Single Tenant Properties is proposing to develop the northwest corner of Illinois Route
120 (Elm Street) and Chapel Hill Road including the construction of an approximately 8,400
square foot convenience store with an additional attached 1,800 square foot retail space, a state-
of-the-art car wash, seven (7) multi -product fueling dispensers which provides fourteen (14)
automobile fueling positions, and three (3) commercial fueling lanes, and an 8,400 square foot
retail building on the western portion of the site.
The site is currently undeveloped (except for the barn and building remnants adjacent the water
tower) and surrounds the Riverside Chocolate Factory's property. Riverside currently leases the
gravel area to the north of their store for a portion of their parking from the existing property owner;
this gravel parking lot is located within the portion of the land that Bluestone is purchasing. For
reference, the north side of Riverside's building is approximately their northern property line as
shown on the enclosed survey.
The convenience store and fuel center operator will be Ricky Rockets Fuel Centers. This would
be one of the first Ricky Rockets Fuel Centers in the Chicago market, with several other locations
in development.
Due to the volume of commercial trucks on the adjacent roadways (over 4,000 trucks per day),
Ricky Rockets will provide three dedicated fast flow commercial fueling lanes adjacent to the
convenience store. There is generally a lack of diesel fueling centers to accommodate commercial
vehicles in the trade area. There will be no "truck stop" amenities at this location, including
overnight parking and public laundry. The four parking spaces provided are for trucks to park
temporarily to utilize the convenience store or other restaurants within the development.
In addition to serving the commercial vehicles, this facility will be one of the few modern, high
volume convenience store and passenger vehicle fueling centers along Elm Street in McHenry.
The other modern fuel centers in town are located on the north side of McHenry along Route
31/Richmond Road. The convenience store will offer a wide array fountain drinks, coffee, pre-
packaged food and drinks, and will feature Ozzie's Deli offering freshly prepared sandwiches.
This development will also offer a state-of-the-art Tommy Wash car wash. The car wash features
dual conveyor belt system in lieu of the traditional metal guardrail conveyance systems, and the
building has significant windows, enhancing the car wash experience for customers.
The retail center will have restaurants on both end caps, with complementary retailers in between.
The drive thru restaurant on the west end of the building will be approximately 1,800 square feet,
and the sit down restaurant on the east end of the building will be approximately 2,100 square
feet. In addition, we believe from initial discussions that the 1,800 square foot space adjacent to
the convenience store will be leased to a restaurant.
Prior to our zoning application submittal, we have submitted our traffic study to the Illinois
Department of Transportation and McHenry County Division of Transportation for their review.
We are requesting from IDOT a full access driveway on Illinois Route 120 just to the east of the
retail center, and a ri ht-in/right-out only driveway in -front -of the fuel center. Along Chapel -Hill
Development of Illinois Route 120 & Chapel Hill Road
Page 2 of 2
Road, McHenry County has preliminarily approved a three-quarter access (right-in/full out).
Riverside Chocolate Factory's access points will not be altered, since there are not part of this
development.
To the north of the site, there are single family residential homes that are located in unincorporated
McHenry County. These residents will be screened from the development via a 25' landscape
buffer setback and a six-foot board -on -board.
In addition, the new retail development will utilize high efficiency, environmentally friendly LED
lighting. These fixtures have low energy usage and the LED lights are able to better direct light
and do not spray light into the adjacent properties than traditional commercial lighting fixtures.
The property is currently zoned C5 Highway Commercial District. We are seeking for conditional
uses to allow for automobile fueling station and a drive-in car wash, and a conditional use to allow
for a drive-in restaurant. In addition, we are seeking to subdivide the property into two parcels,
with the retail center located on one lot, and the remainder of the development on the second lot.
We are seeking variances for this development, including a variance from the off-street parking
and loading, parking strip screening, minimum spacing between service stations, and any other
variances deemed necessary by the City for the development.
For the off-street parking variance, we are seeking a reduction in the number of parking spaces
required for restaurants. Ricky Rockets currently has two restaurant users identified for the retail
center, and it is likely that a restaurant user will locate in the 1,800 square foot space adjacent to
the convenience store. The current parking code requires 15 stalls per 1,000 square feet net floor
area for drive in restaurants, and 25 stalls per 1,000 square feet of net floor area for sit down
restaurants. We will demonstrate in our presentation the rationale behind this request. It is our
interest to provide sufficient parking for the retail users to maintain the long-term viability of the
development.
We are working with Riverside Chocolate Factory to provide them with parking within our
development. The proposed parking area would be to the south and to the east of the car wash,
providing parking stalls that would be shared with the development. As part of the parking
easement, the applicant intends to provide Riverside with a cross access easement allowing its
patrons to utilize the development's drive aisles.
As part of this development, we will be extending the water main on the south side of Route 120
from Adams Street to Chapel Hill Road. The city will own the water main upon completion of the
water main. This water main will service the development, and lower the development barriers for
other uses along the corridor.
Presuming our application is approved by the City of McHenry, construction would commence in
Spring 2017, subject to the timing of IDOT's approval of the plans.
We look forward to discussing our proposed redevelopment of this property in further detail during
the upcoming land use approval process.
Respectfully,
Mike MacKinnon

Table 31 of the City of McHe�uy Zoning Ordinance provides that in recommending approval or
conditional approval of a Conditional Use Permit, 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. Traffic
Any adverse impact of types or volumes of traffic flow not otherwise typical in the zoning district has
been minimized.
The convenience store and fuel center are primarily re -circulators of traffic meaning that these uses divert
traffic already utilizing the adjacent roadways into the development and then recirculate those vehicles
and car wash will generate traffic consistent with the other retail uses along this corridor including the
Culver s, and will not create atypical traffic congestion.
2. 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.
The primary activity of the site is directed towards Illinois Route 120 and as a result most noises
generated by the development will be directed away from the adjacent residents The site lighting will
utilized energy efficient LED lighting which nearly eliminates glare and greatly reduces the impact of
lighting an adjacent properties; the property will abide by the City's lighting requirements The site has
proper trash enclosures to ensure that refuse is stored in well maintained areas
3. Neighborhood Character
The proposed use will fit harmoniously with the existing natural or man-made 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 existing in the area or
normally associated with permitted uses in the district.
There is an existing convenience store and fuel center on the northeast comer of Illinois Route 120 and
Chapel Hdl Road, and as such the fuel center will not alter the neighborhood character The proposed
fueling center will utilize modern fueling tanks and pipes that prevent any fuel leaks and notify the
operator instantly if a fuel leak does occur. This modern convenience store and fuel center will not have a
negative impact on the environment The convenience store and fuel center is complemented by a state-
of-the-art car wash, and a retail center that will spawn additional development at this intersection Once
FORM C
Page 1 of 2
restaurant with drive-in lane and car wash will serve as an amenity to this side of town The uses are
consistent with other retail uses in this corridor, and will not have a negative impact on the environment
neighborhood character or property values
4. 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.
A sanitary sewer had previously been brought to the property The sanitary sewer has capacity for this
development A water main will be extended by the applicant from Adams Street to Chapel Hill Road on
the south side of Illinois Route 120 as part of this development to provide water service The convenience
store and fuel center along with the restaurant with drive and car wash in will not have any additional
impact to fire and police services than a permitted retail development on this property.
5. 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.
The site will provide ingress and egress at three locations providing the public numerous access points
and to reduce the impact on the adjacent roadways The site has an internal access drive to safely take
detrimental to the safety or health of the general public in the vicinity of the project
6. Other Factors
The proposed use is in harmony with all other elements of compatibility pertinent to the Conditional Use
and its particular location.
This nroperty is ideally situated within the City for a convenience store and fuel center along with a drive
rn restaurant and car wash. The site meets all other requirements of the zoning district The development

333 South Green Street McHenry, IL 60050 Tel: (815) 363-2I70 Fax: (815) 363-2173
Table 32 of the City of McHenry Zoning Ordinance provides that in recommending approval or conditional
approval of a 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. Special Circumstances Not Found Elsewhere
Special circumstances exist that are particular to the property for which the variance is sought and that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zoning district; and these circumstances are not of so general
or recurrent a nature as to make it reasonably practical to provide a general regulation to cover them.
We are requesting a variance for the required parking for the retail center. As the code is written we would
be significantly overparked for this development As shown on the site plan we have provided landbanked
parking that would be constructed in the event additional parking was required,
2. Circumstances Relate to Property Only
Since a variance will affect the character of its surroundings long after a property changes hands, the special
circumstances referenced herein relate only to the physical character of the land or building(s) for which a
variance is sought, such as dimensions, topography, or soil conditions; and they do not concern any business
or activity the present or prospective owner or tenant carries on or seeks to carry on therein, or to the
personal, business or financial circumstances of such owner or tenant or any other party with interest in the
property.
The variance is due to the parkin requirement for the restaurant uses within the development The western
3. Not Resulting from Applicant Action
The special circumstances that are the basis for a variance have not resulted from any act of the applicant or
of any other party with interest in the property.
The narking requirement in the city's code is overly onerous and is not needed for the uses planned For this
development.
4. Unnecessary Hardship
The strict application of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would result in unnecessary and undue
hardship upon the applicant, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience.
Page]
of 3
The denial of the variance request would reduce the size of the retail center making it impractical to build
5. Preserves Rights Conferred by District
A variance is necessary for the applicant to preserve and enjoy a substantial property right possessed by
other properties in the same zoning district, and does not confer a special privilege ordinarily denied to other
properties in the district.
This variance will all for a reasonably sized retail center to complement the fuel center and car wash
proposed by the applicant The granting of this variance will not confer any special privileges to the property
since the landbanked parking has been provided
6. Necessary for Use of Property
The granting of a variance is necessary not because it will increase the applicant's economic return, although
it may have this effect, but because without a variance the applicant will be deprived of any reasonable use
or enjoyment of the property.
The parking provided will sufficiently park the proposed retail center and adequate landbanked par king_has
been planned to accommodate additional parking if necessary,
FORM-D
Page 2 of 3
7. Not Alter Local Character
The granting of a 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.
The variance being sought is consistent with the current location of the parking lot and as a result this
variance will not impact environmental quality, property values or public safety or welfare of properties in
the vicinity.
8. Consistent with Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan
The granting of the 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.
The granting of the variance is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance The variance
is being sought to benefit an adjacent property owner.
9. Minimum Variance Re uq fired
The variance requested is the minimum required to provide the applicant with reasonable use and enjoyment
of the property.
The variance is the minimum to provide Riverside with code re uq fired arking stall length and drive aisle
width.

Introduction
This report summarizes the methodologies, results, and findings of a traffic impact
study conducted by Kenig, Lindgren, O'Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, Inc.) for a proposed Ricky
Rockets Fuel Center to be located in McHenry, Illinois. The site, which is currently vacant, is
located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of IL 120 (Elm Street) and Chapel Hill Road.
As proposed, the development is to consist of the following:
• Fourteen passenger vehicle fueling positions
• Three commercial vehicle fueling positions
• A car wash
• A convenience store
• A 1,200 square -foot coffee/donut store with drive -through facility
• 7,200 square feet of commercial space
Access to the development will be provided via one full access drive and one restricted right-
in/right-out access drive on IL 120 and one full access drive on Chapel Hill Road. The development
will include parking for approximately 86 passenger vehicles and four trucks. Cross access is
proposed to be provided from the development to the Riverside Chocolate Factory located in the
northwest corner of the IL 120/Chapel Hill Road intersection. In addition, the northern Chapel
Hill full access drive serving the Riverside Chocolate Factory will be eliminated.
Figure 1 shows the location of the site in relation to the uea roadway system. Figure 2 shows an
aerial view of the site area. A copy of the development plan is provided in the Appendix.
The purpose of this study was to examine background traffic conditions, assess the impact that
the proposed development will have on traffic conditions in the area, and determine if any roadway
or access improvements are necessary to accommodate traffic generated by development.
The sections of this report present the following:
• Existing roadway conditions
• A description of the proposed development
• Directional distribution of the development -generated traffic
• Vehicle trip generation for the proposed development

Traffic Characteristics of the Proposed Development
In order to properly evaluate future traffic conditions in the surrounding area, it was necessary
to determine the traffic characteristics of the proposed development, including the directional
distribution and volumes of traffic that it will generate.
Proposed Development Plan
As proposed, the plans call for developing the site to provide a fuel center with 14 passenger
vehicle fueling positions, three commercial vehicle fueling positons, a car wash, a convenience
store, a 1,200 square -foot coffee/donut store with drive -through facility, and 7,200 square feet of
commercial space. Parking will be provided for 86 passenger vehicles and four trucks. Access to
the development will be provided via the following three access drives:
The IL 120 full access drive is proposed to be located on the north side of the road
approximately 750 feet west of Chapel Hill Road. This access drive will provide one
inbound lane and two outbound lanes striped for an exclusive left -turn lane and an
exclusive right -turn lane. The outbound movements will be under stop sign control. The
access drive has been designed to accommodate turning truck traffic. Inbound left-tum
movements to the development are proposed to occur via a proposed left -turn lane to be
provided within the IL 120 median.
The IL 120 right-in/right-out access drive is proposed to be located on the north side of the
road approximately 400 feet west of Chapel Hill Road. This access drive will provide one
inbound lane and one outbound lane that will be channelized via a rnedian to prohibit left -
turn movements. The outbound lane will be under stop sign control and the appropriate
signage and striping should be provided indicating that left -turn movements are prohibited.
The Chapel Hill Road access drive is proposed to be located on the west side of the road
approximately 450 feet north of IL 120 and will provide full access to the development.
This access drive will provide one inbound lane and two outbound lanes that will be striped
for an exclusive left -turn lane and an exclusive right -turn lane. The outbound lanes will be
under stop sign control.
Cross access is proposed to be provided between the development and the Riverside Chocolate
Factory located in the northwest corner of the IL 120/Chapel Hill Road intersection. In addition,
the northern Chapel Hill Road full access drive serving the Riverside Chocolate Factory will be
eliminated.
Directional Distribution of Site Traffic
The directions from which vehicles will approach and depart the development were estimated
based on the existing travel patterns, as determined from the traffic counts. Figure 5 and Table 1
illustrate the directional distribution.

Total 100%
Estimated Development Traffic Generation
The number of passenger vehicle peak hour trips estimated to be generated by the proposed
development was based on the rates contained in Trip Generation Manual, 9' Edition, published
by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Given the limited traffic generation data
available for fuel stations specific to trucks, the number of truck peak hour trips estimated to be
generated by the commercial vehicle fueling positions was based on previous data from other gas
stations with commercial vehicle fueling positions throughout Illinois.
It is important to note that surveys conducted by ITE have shown that approximately 60 percent
of trips made to gas stations are diverted from the existing traffic on the roadway system. Such
diverted trips are referred to as pass -by traffic. As a result, a 60 percent pass -by reduction was
applied to the trip generation estimates for the fueling center. Table 2 illustrates the peak hour
traffic estimated to be generated by the development.

Development Traffic Assignment
The estimated new peak hour trips that will be generated by the proposed development were
assigned to the roadway system in accordance with the previously described directional
distribution. Figure 6 illustrates the new peak hour traffic assignment. Figure 7 shows the pass -
by traffic assignment.
Regional Traffic Growth
To account for the increase in existing traffic related to regional growth in the area (i.e. not
attributable to any particular planned development) for Year 2022 conditions, the existing traffic
volumes were increased by a total of 12 percent. Projections provided by the Chicago Metropolitan
Agency for Planning (CMAP) in a letter dated April 27, 2016 indicated that the area roadways are
projected to experience less than a one percent per year growth in traffic. However, to provide a
conservative, worst -case analysis, a two percent per year growth factor was assumed for this study.
A copy of this letter is included in the Appendix of this report.
Total Projected Traffic Volumes
The background traffic volumes were combined with the development -generated traffic volumes
to obtain projected Year 2022 total traffic volumes, illustrated in Figure S.

Traffic Analysis
Roadway and adjacent or nearby intersection analyses were performed for the weekday morning,
weekday evening, and Saturday midday peak hours for the existing (Year 2016) and total projected
(Year 2022) traffic volumes,
The traffic analyses were performed using the methodologies outlined in the Transportation
Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual (HCM, 2010 and analyzed using the HCS 2010
software. The analysis for the traffic -signal controlled intersections were accomplished using
actual cycle lengths, phasings, and offsets to determine the average overall vehicle delay and levels
of service.
The analyses for the unsignalized intersections determine the average control delay to vehicles at
an intersection. Control delay is the elapsed time from a vehicle joining the queue at a stop. sign
(includes the time required to decelerate to a stop) until its departure from the stop sign and
resumption of free flow speed. The methodology analyzes each intersection approach controlled
by a stop sign and considers traffic volumes on all approaches and lane characteristics.
The ability of an intersection to accommodate traffic flow is expressed in terms of level of service,
which is assigned a letter from A to F based on the average control delay experienced by vehicles
passing through the intersection. The HCM definitions for levels of service and the corresponding
control delay for signalized intersections and rmsignalized intersections are included in the
Appendix of this report,
Summaries of the traffic analysis results showing the level of service and overall intersection delay
(measured in seconds) for the existing and projected Year 2022 to traffic volumes are presented
in Tables 3 and 4, respectively. In addition, summaries of the 95"' percentile queues for the existing
and projected Year 2022 total traffic volumes are provided in Tables 5 and 6, respectively. A
discussion of the intersections follows. Summary sheets for the capacity analyses are included in
the Appendix.

Discussion and Recommendations
The following summarizes
how the intersections are
projected to
operate and identifies any
roadway and traffic control
improvements necessary to
accommodate
the development traffic.
IL 120 with Chapel Hill Road
The results of the capacity analysis indicate that this signalized intersection currently operates at
an overall Level of Service (LOS) C during the weekday morning and Saturday midday peak hours
and a LOS D during the weekday evening peak hour. Assuming the projected Year 2022 traffic
volumes, the overall intersection is projected to operate at a LOS D during the weekday morning
and evening peak hours and a LOS C during the Saturday midday peak hour. Furthermore, all of
the intersection approaches currently and are projected to continue to operate at an acceptable level
of service during the peak hours. The 95rh percentile queues for the eastbound approach at this
intersection are projected to be a maximum of approximately 520 feet which will not extend to the
proposed IL 120 full access drive. Further, the projected 95`h percentile queues for the left -turn
movements will not exceed the existing left -turn lanes. As such, the intersection has sufficient
reserve capacity to accommodate the total projected Year 2022 total traffic volumes.
Chapel Hill Roarl with Lincoln Road
The results of the capacity analysis indicate that this signalized intersection currently operates at
an overall LOS C during the weekday morning and evening peak hours and a LOS B during the
Saturday midday peak hour. Assuming the projected Year 2022 total traffic volumes, the overall
intersection is projected to continue operating at a LOS C during the weekday morning and evening
peak hours and a LOS B during the Saturday midday peak hour. Furthermore, all of the intersection
approaches currently and are projected to continue to operate at an acceptable level of service
during the peak hours. As such, the intersection has sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate
the projected Year 2022 total traffic volumes.
Chapel Hill Raad and River Road
The results of the capacity analysis indicate that the critical approaches and movements at this stop
sign controlled intersection currently operate at a LOS C or better during the weekday morning
peak hour and a LOS B or better during the weekday evening and Saturday midday peak hours.
Assuming the projected Year 2022 traffic volumes, the critical approaches and movements are
projected to continue to operate at an acceptable level of service during the peak hours. As such,
the intersection has sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the projected Year 2022 total
traffic volumes.

IL 120 with Proposed Full Access Drive
The IL 120 full access drive is proposed to be located 750 feet west of Chapel Hill Road and will
provide one inbound lane. and two outbound lanes striped for an exclusive right -turn lane and an
exclusive left -turn lane. The outbound movements will be under stop sign control. As part of the
development, the IL 120 median is proposed to be modified to provide an approximate 185-foot
eastbound left -turn lane and 200-foot taper serving the proposed access drive. A sight distance
study conducted along IL 120 and provided in the Appendix shows that the location of the full
access drive exceeds the intersection sight distance requirements for passenger vehicles, single
unit trucks, and semi -trailers.
The results of the capacity analysis indicate that the access drive approach is projected to operate
at a LOS C during the morning peak hour, at a LOS E during the weekday evening peak hour, and
at a LOS D during the Saturday midday peak hour. The outbound left -turn movement is projected
to operate at a poor level of service during the peak hours. This is due to the higher volume of
traffic on IL 120 and the reduced number of gaps. The traffic will be able to exit onto IL 120 but
may experience some additional delay. This is common. for stop sign controlled intersections along
major roadways.
IL 120 with Proposed Right Iu/Right-Out Access Drive
The IL 120 right4ritright-out access drive is proposed to be located 400 feet west of Chapel Hill
Road and will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with outbound movements under
stop sign control. The access drive will permit inbound and outbound right -turn movements only
via a channelizcd median and appropriate signage and striping. The results of the capacity analysis
indicate that the outbound lane is projected to operate at a LOS B during the weekday morning
and Saturday midday peak hours and LOS C during the weekday evening peak hour.
Chapel Hill Rond with Proposed Access Drive
The Chapel Hill Road access drive is proposed to be located 450 feet north of IL 120 and will
provide one inbound lane and two outbound lanes that will be striped for an exclusive left -turn
lane and an exclusive right -turn lane with outbound movements under stop sign control. The results
of the capacity analysis indicate that the proposed access drive approach is projected to operate at
a LOS C during the weekday morning and Saturday midday peak hours and LOS D during the
weekday evening peak hour. Further, the inbound left -turn movement is projected to operate at a
LOS A with a 95`h percentile queue of one vehicle.
Ricky Rockets Fuel Center
McHenry, Illinois 2;
No separate left -turn lane is proposed to be provided on Chapel Hill Road serving the access drive.
However, the taper and approach median for the southbound left -turn lane on Chapel Hill Road at
IL 120 extends past the location of the access drive and can accommodate one to two passenger
vehicles. The results of the capacity analysis have shown that the projected queue of the inbound
left -turn movement is one vehicle. As such, the existing median should be sufficient to
accommodate the inbound left -tutu movements. Nevertheless, the southbound left -turn lane on
Chapel Hill Road at IL 120 is approximately 210 feet long with a 180-foot taper. The results of
the capacity analysis show that the left -turn lane is projected to have a 95"' percentile queue of 175
feet. As such, consideration should be given to reducing the left lane and/or taper by approximately
25 to 30 feet so that the median in front of the proposed access drive can be extended to
accommodate an additional vehicle.

Conclusion
Based on the proposed development plans and the preceding traffic study, the following
conclusions are made:
The total number of trips generated by the development will be reduced as a large
percentage of trips generated by fueling centers are pass -by trips.
All of the intersections are currently and projected to continue to operate at acceptable
levels of service under future conditions taking into account background growth and the
proposed development traffic. As such, these intersections have sufficient reserve capacity
to accommodate the development -generated traffic.
The IL 120 full access drive is proposed to be located 750 feet west of Chapel Hill Road
and will provide one inbound lane and two outbound lanes striped for an exclusive right -
turn lane and an exclusive left -turn lane. As part of the development, the IL 120 median is
proposed to be modified to provide an approximate 185-foot eastbound left -turn lane and
200400t taper serving the proposed access drive. A sight distance study conducted along
IL 120 shows that the location of the access drive exceeds the intersection sight distance
requirements for passenger vehicles, single unit trucks, and semi -trailers. The movements
to/from the IL 120 full access drive are projected to generally operate at a good level of
service.
The IL 120 right-in/right-out access drive is proposed to be located 400 feet west of Chapel
Hill Road and will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with outbound
movements under stop sign control. The access drive will permit inbound and outbound
right -turn movements only via a channelized median and appropriate signage and striping.
The outbound movement from this access drive is projected to operate at a good level of
service.
The Chapel Hill Road access drive is proposed to be located 450 feet north of IL 120 and
will provide one inbound lane and two outbound lanes that will be striped for an exclusive
left -turn lane and an exclusive right -turn lane. The outbound movements will be under stop
sign control. The critical movements from this access drive are generally projected to
operate at a good level of service. The taper and approach median for the southbound left -
turn lane on Chapel Hill Road at IL 120 extends past the location of the access drive and
can accommodate one to two passenger vehicles waiting to make a left turn into the site.
With a projected maximum queue of one vehicle, the existing median should be sufficient
to accommodate the inbound left -turn movements. Nevertheless, consideration should be
given to reducing the left lane and/or taper by approximately 25 to 30 feet so that the
median in front of the proposed access drive can be extended to accommodate an additional
vehicle.
