Richard Golbeck of 3719 W. Young Street, addressed the Council and
spoke on behalf of the Concerned Citizens of McHenry. His concern was the 12
acre parcel along Route 31 which was proposed as Light Commercial on Land Use
Plan 2000. He suggested that the 12 acres be left as a residential district
or that it be restricted for use as professional offices only. Golbeck stated
that according to his attorney, the Appelate Court recently handed down a
ruling that the 12 acres along Route 31 must remain as a residential district
and if the City tried to change that classification, it would run into legal
difficulties.
Motion by Schooley, seconded by Wieser, to eliminate all Light Commer-
cial classifications on the entire proposed Land Use Plan 2000 and substitute
regular Commercial Classification in its place.
Voting Aye: Harker, Datz, Wieser, Adams, Schooley.
Voting Nay: Pepping, Nolan, Meurer.
Motion carried.
Motion by Schooley, seconded by Wieser, to accept the Land Use Plan
2000 as presented with elimination of the Light Commercial classification and
