PUBLIC INPUT SESSION
Mr. Marion Metz, 3813 Waukegan, addressed Council. Mr. Metz stated he has traveled
extensively and been a resident of McHenry for six and a half years. He is proud to call
McHenry, Illinois his home. Mr. Metz stated that the Council and Staff need to be thanked for
their efforts and the work they do. He noted that the Public Works Department Staff did an
exceptional job removing snow this winter and filling potholes. Mr. Metz also stated that the
Police Department personnel are very professional.
Mr. Metz noted it is apparent that the Council attempts to work as a cohesive team,
creating a good atmosphere throughout the City of McHenry. He noted that Mayor Low attends
many events that take place throughout the City and her presence is appreciated.
Mr. Metz stated that he recognizes the Council is working under stressful conditions,
taking into consideration the general economy, and with so many empty buildings in the
municipality. He suggested thinking outside of the box, recommending Noonen, Georgia as a
great example of an innovative small community as an example. Mr. Metz also suggested
moving the fire department, noting the current location is landlocked and in a bad location due
to the extensive road construction. .
Mayor Low thanked Mr. Metz for his suggestions and compliments.
Mr. Jack Reilly, 1908 Rogers, addressed Council. Mr. Reilly stated that he is an 18-year

attention regarding people trespassing on his property and neighbors that are threatening him.

APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A SANITARY SEWER PERMIT
AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MCHENRY AND RODNEY T. AND
SANDRA M. YANEZ FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1302 BORDEN STREET
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that Rodney and Sandra Yanez purchased
the property located at 1302 Borden Street, constructed a new building, and opened an
automotive repair business. Due to the location of the property and adjacent elevation, the
property cannot be served utilizing a traditional gravity sewer line. A force main, or in this
instance, a sanitary sewer force service line (this serves only one property), is required. The line
would be connected to an on -site grinder/ejector pumping system. located at 1302 Borden and

pumped up to Illinois Route 120, just east of Borden Street. Simply put, this is a long sewer
service line which only benefits 1302 Borden; however the line would have to be installed
within the City's right-of-way along Borden Street and IDOT right-of-way (Illinois Route 120).
When Mr. Yanez contacted IDOT, he was informed that IDOT would only grant Mr.
Yanez a permit if the sanitary sewer force service line from his property at 1302 Borden Street
up to Route 120 was four inches in diameter. Staff reviewed the situation, spoke with
representatives of IDOT, and determined a two-inch diameter force line would be more than
sufficient to serve the property.
In an effort to assist Mr. Yanez and reduce costs, the City agreed to apply for the permit
from IDOT on behalf of Mr. Yanez for the two-inch line. IDOT agreed to issue the City a permit
for a two-inch line, but would only issue Mr. Yanez a permit to install a four -inch line, even if
Mr. Yanez agreed to maintain the line in perpetuity. City Administrator Morefield noted that
Mr. Yanez is currently open for business and is utilizing a temporary holding tank for sanitary
sewer service until the permanent connection is completed.
Mr. Yanez has paid for the City Engineer to prepare the permit for the two-inch sanitary
sewer force line through IDOT, as well as for Attorney McArdle to prepare a Permit and
Maintenance Agreement. As part of the Agreement, Mr. Yanez is required to pay for all the
installation and restoration costs, together with future maintenance and repairs. The proposed
Agreement would be recorded against the property and any subsequent property owner would
inherit the responsibilities included in the Agreement.
Alderman Wimmer stated that Staff has covered the matter very efficiently.
Responding to an inquiry from Alderman Santi regarding any other connections to the
line, Deputy City Administrator Martin stated that the service line is for one property only.
Responding to Alderman Glab's inquiry regarding why IDOT was requiring Mr. Yanez to
install a 4-inch line, Deputy City Administrator Martin opined that he is uncertain why IDOT
agreed to a 2-inch line permit for the City yet required Mr. Yanez to install a 4-inch line. He
suggested it might depend on the person being consulted at IDOT and IDOT personnel are
reviewing the matter.
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Condon, approving the Ordinance authorizing the
Mayor's execution of a Sanitary Sewer Service Permit and Maintenance Agreement between
the City of McHenry and Rodney T. Yanez and Sandra M. Yanez, dated July 7, 2014, as
presented.

APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE TO ALLOW_ INSTALLATION OF A FENCE IN THE REQUIRED FRONT
YARD LOCATED AT 2012 CARTER COURT
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that the applicant is seeking to erect a
fence in the required front yard at 2012 Carter Court in the Liberty Trails Subdivision. The
applicant is proposing to erect a 54" black "Ashbury" aluminum fence ten feet from the
property line abutting Tyler Trail. The Municipal Code only permits fences in a required front
yard if they are split rail style and do not exceed 42-inches in height.
City Administrator Morefield noted that the applicant has a hardship and is unique in
that by zoning definition their required 30' setback is Tyler Trail and their corner side yard is
along Carter Court. Practically, the front of the house is situated along Carter Court, and their
usable side yard is along Tyler Trail. Therefore, a 30' setback would render a great portion of
applicant's yard unusable.
The proposed fence would not create any line -of -sight problems and Staff believes
would be more aesthetically pleasing, practical and appropriately located along Tyler Trail , as
opposed to in front of the home along Carter Court. The applicant has submitted signatures
from abutting property owners notifying them of the date of the City Council meeting. City
Administrator Morefield stated that Staff supports the variance, as presented.
Responding to Alderman Santi's inquiry, Deputy City Administrator Martin informed
Council that the fence is 10 feet off the property line.
Responding to a comment from Alderman Glab, Deputy City Administrator Martin noted
that the Community Development Committee plans on revisiting the entire fence ordinance
shortly.
Motion by Santi, seconded by Schaefer, approving the Fence Variance for the property
located at 2012 Carter Court to allow a 54" black "Ashbury" aluminum fence to be constructed
in the required front yard in accordance with the Plat of Survey, included as part of the Fence
Permit Application.

APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A REVOCABLE DRIVEWAY
LICENSE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MCHENRY AND TRESA STEPONIK FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1711 LAKEWOOD AVENUE
City Administrator Morefield reiterated to Council that in 1995 the City entered into a
revocable license agreement to allow the property owner at 1711 Lakewood Avenue to
improve a residential driveway on City -owned property, which directly abuts the subject
property to the north. The property owner, pursuant to the licensing agreement, installed a
fence and a retaining wall. To the north of the driveway is a section of the Lakeland Park
Drainage Ditch, which is owned by the City of McHenry.
The City -owned property included an approximately 11' wide driveway and abutting
drainage ditch in the Lakeland Park Subdivision, It extends from the north side of the existing
detached garage at 1711 Lakewood Avenue north to the abutting lot which includes the
drainage ditch. In 2001, the property at 1711 Lakewood Avenue was sold to a new owner and
because the license agreement was linked with the previous property owner, a new license
agreement was approved by the City in 2001. The 2001 agreement allowed the property
owners, Robert and Raymie Leavy, to use the driveway and maintain it, along with the fence
and retaining wall.
The property at 1711 Lakewood Avenue was recently purchased by Tresa Steponik. Ms.
Steponik would like to re -pave the driveway due to the deteriorating condition. As part of the
re -paving, the retaining wall and fence will require repair/replacement, ensuring stabilization of
the driveway and to maintain the integrity of the drainage ditch.
Staff has prepared a Revocable Driveway License Agreement, which is substantially the
same agreement approved in 2001, with the exception of the following provisions:
• All plans for the retaining wall must be submitted by a registered professional or
structural engineer;
• The City has the right to make repairs to the property if the Licensee fails to do so; and
subsequently lien the subject property (1711 Lakewood Avenue); and,
• The Agreement will be recorded against the property and be transferable to future
owners.
Staff believes the Agreement is mutually beneficial to the City and the property owner
of 1711 Lakewood Avenue in that the owner is permitted to utilize the existing driveway and
improve it and is responsible for maintaining it. Practically, if the property owner was unable to
utilize the City property, their driveway would be approximately 5-feet in width (which would
not comply with the City Ordinance of a 9-foot minimum driveway width requirement).
Motion by Wimmer, seconded by Peterson, approving the Revocable Driveway License
Agreement between the City of McHenry and Tresa Steponik and approving the Ordinance
authorizing the Mayor's execution of the Revocable Driveway License Agreement between the
City of McHenry and Tresa Steponik.

APPROVAL OF A SIGN VARIANCE FOR BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY, 803 N. FRONT STREET
City Administrator Morefield informed Council that Berkshire Hathaway, formerly
Prudential First Realty, located at 803 North Front Street has a non -conforming freestanding
sign located on the property. The sign currently sets almost exactly on the property line;
therefore it does not comply with the required 5-foot minimum setback for freestanding signs
for commercial business.
According to the Sign Ordinance, as of August 7, 2015, property owners with non-
conforming signs must come into compliance with the current Ordinance, which includes
meeting the 5-foot setback or, alternatively, paying an annual fee. City Administrator Morefield
noted that approval of a setback variance equals compliance with the Ordinance. Therefore, if
approved, the owner would not be subject to the annual fee exclusive of any conditions placed
on the approval.
The property owner has approached Staff with concerns regarding relocating the sign
prior to roadway improvements to Illinois Route 31. The Illinois Department of Transportation
(IDOT) is currently undertaking a comprehensive planning process for improvements to the
Route 31 corridor from Route 176 in Crystal Lake to Route 120 in McHenry.
The property owner is requesting a sign variance to allow the existing freestanding sign
to remain at its current location, with a zero -foot setback until such time Front Street is
improved/widened. Staff concurs that it would be difficult to relocate the sign at this time and
be absolutely certain the future widening/improvements to Route 31 would not impact the
new sign and require relocation yet again. The amount of right-of-way which is required to
complete the road improvements has not yet been determined, nor has engineering been
completed to a level of detail whereby alterations or adjustments to the right-of-way or utility
relocations impacting the sign placement could be eliminated. Staff believes it is prudent to
allow the sign to remain until such time Route 31 is improved. Staff does not believe keeping
the sign at its current location adversely impacts public safety or sight -lines for traveling
motorists and pedestrians.
Alderman Glab agreed with Staff's assessment. He opined that a business owner should
not be required to move a sign twice, even if IDOT were to offer to pay for one of the
relocations.
Motion by Glab, seconded by Blake, approving the sign variances for the property
located at 803 N. Front Street, to allow the existing freestanding sign to remain, with a zero-

foot setback from the property line, subject to the condition the sign be brought into
conformance with the Sign Ordinance requirements within 90 days of completion of roadway
widening improvements to Illinois Route 31, adjacent to the subject property.
