WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1989
The Regular Meeting of the McHenry City Council was called to
order by Mayor Busse on Wednesday, September 20, 1989 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 Director of Public Works Batt,
Attorney Narusis, Clerk Gilpin, Park Director Merkel, Chief Joyce,
Building and Zoning Administrator Halik and City Treasurer Tom Alverson.
During the 10 minutes public input Anton Rebel of 4009 W. Maple
Avenue said the general public was very interested in the activities of
the City Council and watched the televised meetings regularly. He
requested that there be more public notice of City Council meetings and
that the agendas be detailed on the meeting notices. He also asked that
it be noted on the meetings whether they are executive session or open to
the public.
Jackie Martarano of 3907 W. Orleans and Jeff Wheelock of 3805 W.
Orleans submitted a petition to the Mayor asking that something be done
to alleviate the traffic on Orleans Street in Mill Creek Subdivision.
They suggested that Orleans Drive be closed at Industrial Drive so that
the through traffic would not be as heavy through their residential
subdivision. Speeding traffic and the failure to observe stop signs were
also a concern.
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Donahue, to pass an ordinance
annexing Lot 45 at 714 Country Club Drive in Owen and Allen First
Addition to McHenry as requested by Larry and Joan Freund.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Donahue, Lieder, Teta, Smith,
McClatchey, Patterson, Serritella.

Motion by Smith, seconded by Serritella, to approve the final
plat and final engineering for Phase I of The Oaks of McHenry subdivision
for 53 single family lots with the understanding that no final plat will
be recorded until the City Attorney is satisfied with the easements and
title commitment documents.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Donahue, Lieder, Teta, Smith,
McClatchey, Patterson, Serritella.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.

It was also noted that the Council had previously waived the
requirements for placement of the sanitary sewers and storm sewer lines.
On this project the storm sewer lines are in the middle of the road and
the sanitary sewer lines run along the right-of-way. The Council also
approved the request of The Oaks of McHenry that separate Letters of
Credit could be submitted for various sanitary and storm sewer line
installations as well as one Letter of Credit to cover all regular
subdivision improvements. Mayor Busse expressed concern about an estimate
of cost for improvement of Riverside Drive which abuts the eastern side
of The Oaks of McHenry subdivision and the west side of Riverside Drive.
Coppel replied that when they come for final plat approval of the phase
that abuts Riverside Drive they would submit a Letter of Credit to cover
the improvement of the western half of Riverside Drive which is in their
annexation boundary.
Motion by McClatchey, seconded by Teta, to pass an ordinance
amending the checklist for minor zoning variation requests as presented.
Voting Aye: Bolger, Donahue, Lieder, Teta, Smith,
McClatchey, Patterson, Serritella.
Voting Nay: None.
Absent: None.
