RECLASSIFICATION ON TWO CITY ZONING PETITIONS DENIED The City Council, at regular meeting Monday , night, denied two zoning reclassifications, but granted the changes under re~ stricted variations. The first variation involved an odd-shaped piece of property at the foot of Third street, south of James street. This change granted a variation from R-l. (single unit residence) to allow six >- partments. Had the reclassification been granted, a three' story building with perhaps eighteen apartments could have been constructed. However, the petitioner, Robert A. Stueben, presented plans for a one-story building allowing more than required area for parking and lawn space. All other requirements were agreed upon and made a part of the variation. The second variation : Was granted to the McHenry Boone Creek corporation following several weeks of study. This permits parking for theater patrons in the lot east of the McHenry theater. Since this adjoins residential property, neither the Council nor the zoning board of appeals would approve a reclassification. By allowing a variation for the definite purpose, it was the opinion that some of the traffic and parking congestion on Green street .would be relieved. With perliminary work accomplished, the Council authorized the city clerk to proceed with necessary steps toward completion of a census to be taken as soon as possible, while a federal census is taken every ten years', the growth of the city of McHenry since the last census was taken in 1950 prompts the Council to. seek a new and accurate figure. With Motor Fuel Tax being alloted on a per capita basis, McHenry figures to gain income far beyond the cost Of taking the new census.
