PAGE12-PLAINOEAIER-WEDNESPAY, MARCH 21, 1973 COUNTY COLLEGE NO. 2 ON PRIORITY FUNDING LIST (Continued from page 1) Education in April or May, and permitted to go to bid in May or June so that contracts can be awarded by July and con­ struction started this summer. Even with such a schedule, the report anticipates con­ struction will take twenty-four months and that student oc­ cupancy will not take place until the fall of 1975. In order to increase MCC's priority, the Illinois Junior college board had to approve the transfer of $500,000 in federal funds that had previously been earmarked for another college's project. The board report stated that it believed the money "could be more effectively used for McHenry County college...at this time." Skinner said he was in the process of writing the members of the Illinois Board of Higher Education to explain the need for their approval of the im­ mediate release of funds to get McHenry County college's campus off the ground. "We are fortunate to have Earl Hughes of rural Wood­ stock serving on the Board of Higher Education because of his position as chairman of the board of trustees of the University of Illinois. I feel certain that he understands the pressing need for a permanent campus for MCC and that he will be a strong advocate when the board meets." Previously, Skinner con­ ferred with Governor Dan CROSS EXAMINE PORT ROYAL DEVELOPERS (Continued from page 1) testimony, the hearing was adjourned due to closing time. He will be recalled to the stand when the meeting reconvenes March 29. Prior to Taggert's testimony, Peter Bettemacchi, the planning consultant and Thomas J. Peters of Crystal Lake, a real estate appraiser, appeared on the stand. Bettemacchi defined town houses or row houses as having a common wall but not common entrances. They are similar to single family houses except that they are attached by a party wall. He estimated there would be an average of 12 units per acre for the row houses and 16 units per acre for the con­ dominiums. He felt this was a Walker about release of the funds and received the im­ pression that the Governor believed new state money should be allocated to cam­ puses in districts that have not received construction funds previously. MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" ^Continued from page 1) make us support Rep. Deuster, the Municipal league and our Public Pulse writer. With proper supervision and a resolve to restrain widespread burning by local authorities, we think it might work without anybody becoming too unhappy by polluted air. K.A.F. very good density for these units. Bettemacchi stated that proposed lots are smaller than what is allowed in the single family ordinance. However, if the lot sizes were increased, the open park spaces would' disappear almost completely. In the present plan, the developers have alloted 93 acres out of the total 229 for open park spaces. In regard to the location of the disposal plant, Franz asked if Baxter and Woodman had suggested any alternative sewer plant location. The consultant replied that the other method mentioned was tunneling under the Fox river to connect with McHenry's plant on the west side of the river. He said present plans call for a disposal plant at the southern boundary of the development with lift stations west and north of the lagoon. Franz asked, "If the zoning was granted, would this proposed plan be built"? Bettemacchi responded, "I don't know. That would be up to the owners." Estimated population of this completed development of 229 acres is 4,000 persons. It was noted that there is a population of 7,700 in the city of McHenry, which encompasses ap­ proximately 2,600 acres. Regarding a drainage plan for the area, Bettemacchi said that the park system of open lands was planned in a manner to handle surface water. There is a large natural drainage ridge which runs along the west boundary of the project. This plan was developed so that the natural drainage topography would' be used to take away water from rain storms. Bettemacchi also stated there were no detailed drawings for the proposed underpasses. These specifics would be worked out later. Attorney Caldwell objected to questions being asked by Franz. He contended they were too detailed and specific and were of no concern to the zoning board. These details would be handled by other county agencies, when and if zoning is granted. The zoning board held a conference and sustained Caldwell's objections. Board Chairman Smith reiterated that the Board of Appeals' job is just to determine what is the highest and best use of the land in question. Franz confronted Bet­ temacchi with an article which appeared in the March 12 edition of the Elgin Daily Courier-News. The article quoted Bettemacchi as saying, "When I was working in county planning, I found that small communities were helpless when they were faced with the developer's experts." And another quote, "You can make a plan but developers, in the past, have always found ways to get around it". Bettemacchi agreed he had made these statements but they were in connection with another project. He pointed out that his presentation here was altogether different than a plan. This was an ordinance proposal. Expert real estate appraiser, Thomas J. Peters, testified that there is much attractive land in this development along Route 120. This indicated to him that the highest and best use for this project would be for more commercial development than the proposed plan shows. He felt that the proposed plan included good use of the land, an excellent density factor an an unusually high amount of open spaces. In fact, 93 acres had been set aside for such open areas. Peters contended there is a need for such a development since the direction of growth from the city of McHenry will move in an easterly direction. He also noted that people are moving here from Chicago primarily to escape the pressures of metropolitan influences. These people are seeking open spaces, access to water and an opportunity to release the pressures of intense urban living. During the past six months, Peters said he had the op­ portunity to appraise homes in this area and he found the market was similar to other areas in the county which showed rather dynamic up­ ward trends. Good prices are being paid for single family residences, he emphasized, and profits have increased at a substantial rate. Peters did not feel that the proposed development would impair property values in surrounding areas but would, in fact, probably increase them. Franz asked Peters if he was familiar with the Claremont Hills and Eastwood Manor projects. Caldwell objected to the question. Board Chairman Smith sustained the objection and noted that the board was not concerned with zoning people, just property. The next hearing will be held SIX CARS PILE UP DURING LATE SEASON SNOW STORM (Continued 4rom page 1) tire was bald on his auto. Ackerman was charged with driving while license suspen­ ded, illegal transportation, possession or carrying of alcoholic liquor in a motor vehicle, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and unsafe tires. As a result of this accident, a truck driven by Walter Bogdon of 8911 Highland Shores drive, Wonder Lake, collided with an auto driven by Thomas A. Harrison of 4302 N. Spring Grove road, McHenry. Harrison's wife, Julie, and their five-month old son, Thomas, were transported to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad. Bogdon told deputies he was west-bound on the highway and as he came over a hill he noticed the Harrison auto in his lane of traffic. He applied his brakes but slid on the snow and ice-covered road. Harrison said he had stopped waiting for traffic to clear from the prior accident. In the belief that it was clear, he pulled out to pass, the truck came over the hill and the collision occurred. Gerald L. Rudolph of 2262 S. Fourteenth, avenue, North Riverside, was ticketed for limitations on backing after he hit an auto while he was backing up to pick up two female hitch-hikers on the roadway. Driver of the other auto.

The exercise will train ap­ pointed and elected public officials and emergency per­ sonnel in coordinating rescue and recovery operations in emergencies such as tor­ nadoes, floods, earthquakes, tank car explosions, winter storms or enemy attacks. One of a series being held in various parts of Blinois, the Emergency Operation Simulated Training (EOST) exercise will be conducted under auspices of the Blinois Civil Defense agency; the University of Illinois Division of University extension; and the Department of Army, U.S. Office of Civil Defense. Taking part will be officials whose daily routines involye public protection and welfare, municipal government, and the release of public information. During the two-hour exer­ cise, the county is assumed to be undergoing a major disaster. More than 100 "problems" which arise are fed into an operations center, to be solved by a group composed of the chairman of the County board, the head of law en­ forcement, the Fire depart­ ment coordinator, heads of welfare, medicine and engineering services, a shelter officer and a disaster analysis team. The operations center will have maps of the county, bulletin boards, and charts. As the group shifts manpower and resources from place to place to meet the problems, the 1i5> '»I' ,;! "i situation is plotted on the map and logged on the bulleting board. In a nearby simulation room, a group of experts who represent McHenry county will compose the problems. The ,,k actions taken in the operations ^ center will be reported back to those in the simulation room. Preparation for the McHenry , . County EOST has taken place .• during the past six weeks, with n, U. of I. consultants meeting with local government officials, o* health-welfare agency direc- , tors, government department,.; heads, and civil defense staff ./ members to design the framework for the exercise, , around the personnel andjrt, resources available in the „• county. The exercise will be directed, •] by R.B. Crane, extension; c specialist in Civil Defense Instructors training, U. of I. (i,' Divsion of University ex-, n tension, and Leo Parke for the State Civil Defense agency, of which Val Oshel is director. 3 John Shay is McHenry County Civil Defense director. The purpose of the EOST is to' demonstrate how an;» emergency operation center can function successfully during an actual disaster, Col.. > Crane said. "The exercise is.,i not a test, but a training device.., The same type of EOST as is.: being conducted here can be, • adapted for use of government , officials at state, regional and*; area levels." The entire cost of training,, and materials used in the-, preparation and conduct of EOST is borne by the/ University of Illinois.
