MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 1990
A Special Meeting of the McHenry City Council was called to
order by Mayor Busse on Monday, August 6, 1990 at 8 P.M. at City Hall.
At roll call the following Aldermen were present: Bolger, Donahue,
Lieder, Teta, Smith, McClatchey, Patterson, Serritella. Absent: None.
City staff in attendance were Clerk Gilpin, City Administrator Peterson,
and Building & Zoning Officer Halik.
The purpose of the Special Meeting was to discuss the Mobil
Annexation Agreement. Petitioners Richard Bonkoski and Charles Werth
were in attendance with their Attorney Donald Truckenbrod. Also in
attendance was Earl Pomrening, record title owner.
Attorney Truckenbrod gave a brief history of the Mobil
Annexation Petition and presented a revised site plan of the property in
question which is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of
Bull Valley and Crystal Lake Roads in Nunda Township containing
approximately five acres.
The Annexation Agreement was reviewed paragraph by paragraph.
The following changes were suggested: Page 4 - Paragraph 8, Landscaping,
sign, site and appearance plans must be submitted to the City Council for
approval prior to the issuance of any permit; Page 4 - Paragraph 10,
well and septic systems must be installed pursuant to all applicable
municipal and state requirements; Page 4 - Paragraph, Attorney Narusis
was to review the entire paragraph to determine the timeframe applicable
for use of well and septic on the property; Page 6 - Paragraphs 17 and
18, insert language that all signs .must be reviewed and approved by the
City Council.
Attorney Narusis was also to determine if the 600 foot
separation clause between two gas stations in one location needed to be
addressed in this annexation agreement. The staff was also instructed to
contact McHenry Highway Superintendent James Rakow and ask when the
County planned to make improvements to the intersection of Bull Valley
and Crystal Lake Roads since this improvement would impact the Mobil
property.
Questions also arose on whether or not the Mobil petition should
go back to the Zoning Board of Appeals for reconsideration since the site
plan presented was different than what the Zoning Board of Appeals had
acted upon. It was the consensus of the Council not to return the
petition to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Mayor Busse suggested classifying Tract II on the petition as
RS-1 instead of C-1. It was the consensus of opinion that if the
petitioners inserted language in the annexation agreement which required
that all site, appearance, landscape and sign plans must be approved by
the Council prior to the issuance of a building permit, the controls
necessary for that tract would be sufficient to handle any concerns of
the Council.
Petitioner Bonkoski stated that Mobil would not construct their
station unless City water and sewer lines were installed to the site. In
the annexation agreement, the petitioners agreed to pay one-half of
Amoco's cost for extension of the water and sewer lines to Amoco's site
on the southwest corner of Crystal Lake and Bull Valley Roads.
Motion by McClatchey, seconded by Serritella, to accept the
terms and conditions on the Annexation Agreement subject to the changes
discussed at this meeting and subject to Attorney Narusis' approval.

bids were received. However, one bidder did not meet bid specifications.
