Bf .Imfepessdenit Republicans Necessity For Planned Use Of Land Cited In Winding Essay Miss Kathryn Curran, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Curran, last week was awarded first prize for an essay submitted to the Eastern McHenry County Plan association on the subject, "Why Is Land Use Planning Necessary in McHenry County?" The young MCHS senior substantiates the claim of 'teen-agers that many of them are sufficiently interest' ed in the future of their community that they are willing to study the problems confronting it The Plaindealer feels, as did the judges of the contest, that the essay sets forth some real" ly worth while, constructive ideas. For this reason, St is being printed in its entirety. WINNING BSSAT . Reliable forecasts state that the population of McHenry county will soar from the present 80,000 to 225,000 by 1980. With this increase, what will McHenry county be like in the next twenty years? Will it be a pleasant place in which to live and work? Will it be a county that has maintained ita» high agricultural standing? Or will it be a confusion of subdivisions, scattered throughout the county? No one can predict the future, but feveryone can plan for it. At the present, McHenry county does not have a plan. If a farmer decides to sell one roadside lot for a gbod price, he may do so. If an ownei wants to subdivide and sell his entire acreage, he may, provided that the lots are the size required by the county zoning law. Much of the level and fertile farm land is being subdivided, not the land on hills and wooded slopes. Tillable land will be considerably reduced if this trend continues. The number of parks and forests located in McHenry county is small. Homes extend for miles along county roads. Schools will eventually have to be built in each subdivision for a small number pf pupils. Shopping centers in towns conjest the streets and the sidewalks for local residents. Some of these problems how confront the inhabitants of McHenry county; the rest will in the near future. Land use planning can help solve the problems, especially the two main problems concerning homes and farms. A plan, like the federal Constitutioiv would have to be usable for generations. It could be a basic plan outlining the areas in McHenry county for various purposes --farms, homes, business, recreation, factories. The areas, however, would have to be suited to the type of work done there. Many tracts now used for farming are unsuited to that industry. The best farm laftd would be restricted to agricultural purposes. The plan would allow housing projects to be developed on land noi used for farming. This plan, however, should not be used to force farming out and bring towns in. Farms and any other business should be assessed at a fair value according to the purpose it is used for. This means that land used for agricultural purposes should be assessed as farm land, not as- FOR THAT?

Until the land is zoned for homes, the taxes on it should not be raised even gradually to 'the equivalent of taxes on lots. By this plan farmers would not pay for improvements in 'subd i v i s i o n s -- s e w a g e d i s p o s a l systems and water systems -- that the farmer never even uses. Also this plan would provide for the grouping of subdivisions. It would provide for schools in each large subdivision, servicing smaller subdivisions. Then shopping centers could be' established in many of the housing areas. Another aspect of planning would be the availability< ot land in the • country for factories, keeping the noise and fumes away from towns. These factories would reduce the taxes for the people of the entire county. Factories would also be encouraged to build In the rural areas because of the room for expansion. Straight roads in subdivisions would result from planning. On other land that has no particular use, recreation facilities could be built. Parks and' picnic^ areas could be established for the benefit of all on land not used for farms. With these improvements and with foresight, McHenry county would be the ideal placie to live.' But how can these .improvements be tnade? First it is necessary to understahd the topography of the county -- where the hills, the roads, the rivers and creeks are, where the subdivisions, towns, and farms are. A planning commission would be organized to gather material such as maps and enlarged aeriaj photographs of the county. The commission would then outline the county, considering the present use of the areas and the condition of the soil, roads and drainage. A few people would have a big job, but tpey would realize, from working so closely on the plan, the over-all effect they need to achieve. The next step after outlining the county would be to pass a county zoning law providing for the zoning of rural areas. Rural land would then be; zoned to stop further infiltra- • tion of scattered houses. Trees ; would be planted in designated > areas. Subdivisions would be •• laid out, roads and lots marked. *_ Land for factories would be' set aside. Farms would not be close-enough to towns that the f neighbors complain of noise , and smelL ^ •' If the land of McHenry county can be planned efficiently," there will be no need to worry about scattered subdivisions and overcrowded towns. There * will be a balance among farms, homes, businesses and facto-' ries. McHenry county win be the home of 225,000 well-satis- - fied residents.
