\/ Action two -*» Pi^prFoiir asftfc&fftinnd ahn3epw3hi Thursday* November 19. 1964 Await Board Decision After Two Hearings On Area Marina - ^The McHenry County Zonfag board Is expected to rule toon on a petition of Tri-Marine Inc., Wonder Lake, for a conditional-use classification of business property to build a marina. The proposed boat service facility would be located on the east side of the lake, between LaGreca's restaurant and the Wonder Center subdivision boat club, park and beach. The property presently is zoned BL Testimony was presented by proponents and opponents at twbVaring sessions of the zoning board in the Legion home, McHenry. Approximately eighty-five residents attended. Witnesses for the owners of Tri-Marine opened the hearing. They testified to the need for a . marina to serve Wonder Lake boat owners, and to refute allegations of opponents who contend that a marina would b$ detrimental in terms of water pollution, health and fcafety, privacy and aesthetic features of the community, and would have an adverse effect on property values. Star witness for Tri-Marine was Dr. Andreas Paloumpis, professor of biological services, Normal State Teachers college, BloomingtOn, who testified as a water research expert. He has conducted extensive tests on the effect of motor boats on water and fish, and has testified before many government bodies. On questioning of Francis G. Higgins, attorney for Tri- Marine, Dr. Paloumpis stated that boat motors, even when concentrated on relatively small bodies of water, have little or ,no effect on water pollution or fish, and in his opinion have no effect on human health. He pointed-out that particles . of gasoline and oil exhausted by motors are negligible in reflation to the great volume of water present. Such particles are mostly dissipated by the flow of water. Those held in suspension, even in stagnant water, have no ill effect on the delicate membranes of fish, and would have no effect on •humans. Cites Example He underscored his testi- . mony by reporting that the ^City of Bloomington draws its drinking water from a private lake, smaller than Wonder 'Lake, which also is used for motor boating and swimming, and has a marina. Such factors as weekday, weekend and holiday boating were taken into account, and the city found no need to increase chlorination during high-peak use of the lake, involving more than 300 boats, to make its drinking water safe, Dr. Paloumpis stated. Other witnesses called by Higgins included James L. Gianola, one of three owners of Tri-Marine; A. J. Robertson of Sunrise Ridge subdivision and president of its boat club; Dr. S. L. Ruggero, physician, and T. P. Matthews, realtor, all of Wonder Lake. Gianola described the posed marina. He also stati that only boats of residen and property owners would be launched. His testimony emphasized that granting of the conditional - use classification would «erve to make Wonder Lake even more private, since the petition to the Zoning board flatly stated that only boats of Wonder Lake residents would be launched. The perpetual covenant on the property binds not only the present owners of Tri-Marine, but also would become an enforceable condition on any possible future owners. Other Testimony Robertson testified to the need of a marina to serve Wonder Lake boat owners, noting that it is now necessary to travel several miles to get storage facilities and, for the most part, service. Testimony of Dr. Ruggero and Mathews supported the basic contention that a marina would have no ill health effects, and would not depress property values, considering the modern facilities that are planned for the marina. At the second hearing session, Attorney Alfons J. Spanitz, representing the opponents, called several witnesses. The opponents are headed by Robert Kiddell, Paul Kocan and James Kinzie. Opposing witnesses included Vern Thompson, of North Bridge Marine Service, McHenry; William J. Silk, owner of a hobby store and boat sales and service shop, and T. K. Henely, who occupies the first residence north of the proposed marina site. Oppose Zoning In summary, the testimony of opposing witnesses supported the nlain contention which they state as follows in a circular distributed in the community, bearing Kiddell's name: "It is our opinion that this is an exception to the usual request for zoning reclassification where normally it only affects the adjacent property owners. In this particular instance it affects every property owner who has a vested interest in and to the use and enjoyment of the waters of Wonder Lake, its public health factor, safety, privacy and impairment of its civic and social values of the surrounding area. Objectors are of the opinion that such use will only further contaminate and pollute the waters of Wonder Lake, be detrimental to public health, safety, destroy the natural beauty of the lake shore line and affect the privacy which is so instrumental in our decision to purchase property in the locality. We realize that the great concentration of boats and the sale of motor fuel so close to our beach will certainly contaminate the water with gasoline and oil film so as to become a health factor not discounting the hazard feature." Spanitz, who at the opening of the hearing made a motion to dismiss the reclassification petition, contended at the close of the hearing that the Zoning board lacked authority to rule on the basis of a technicality, that part of the ruling hinges on a private body of water over which Spanitz alleged the Zoning board has no jurisdiction. Gianola, and the two other owners of Tri-Marine, Warren Lindgren and Floyd Leigh, indicated they are prepared to start construction of the marina as soon as the conditionaluse classification is granted.

The board, representing every corner of McHenry county, met in Woodstock in a continuation of the revived work of the county Cancer society chapter. Reichert explained that doctors know how to cure more,, cancer patients than are coming to them. "Patients don't get to doctors soon enough. Through public education . and through education of professional men to keep them up-to-date on the battle against cancer, we need to make people conscious of the seven danger signals," he explained. The public must become conscious that cancer is cur&blg and that the medical profession needs only a fair chance to whip this insidious diseg£& he asserted. "A decade ago only onffMn four cancer patients was saved". Now it is one in three. It could be one in two -- jf every citizen had complete health checkups regularly and heeded the danger signals," Reichert said.
