PAGE 20 - PLA1NDKALER - FRIDAY. AUGUST 24. 1973 CITY GRANTS LAND FOR USE OF RESCUE SQUAD (Continued from page 1) felt it might be a little longer "Once the work starts, it will go through to a speedy con­ clusion." he emphasized. Mid States Development submitted its approval of the dedication of Grove street to the city. This road will even­ tually be an extension of Lillian street. Attorney Narusis reported he had contacted the I C C and railroad officials for the purpose of preparing a petition to seek a railroad crossing on Lillian street and for establishing protective devices at that proposed crossing. In other business, William H. Dumalski of the Chain-O-Lakes Travel agency, appeared before the Council to seek their support of a limousine service between McHenry and O'Hare airport. The O'Hare Wisconsin Limousine service is now providing transportation service between the Playboy club in Lake Geneva and O'Hare A new service route is planned from' Antioch and Leisure Village in Fox Lake to O'Hare. McHenry could be added to this schedule if suf­ ficient requests for the service are received At the present time, there is one round trip in the morning and one in the afternoon planned One-way tran­ sportation would cost ap­ proximately $6.00 and round- trip fee would be about $10 or $11. Dumalski related that his office could be used as a waiting room for passengers. He also mentioned that reservations should be made but he felt all persons could be accommodated. The Council agreed that the service would be an asset to the city and resolved to submit a letter requesting the service. Dumalski also noted that letters from McHenry area citizens would be very helpful in obtaining this transportation service. Letters should be sent to Donald Ferrone, General Manager, O'Hare Wisconsin Limousine Service, 530 South Michigan avenue, Chicago, 111. 60605. Mayor Stanek reported on the recent Zoning Board of Appeals meeting held with Ralph Edgar regarding the property around the McHenry Savings and Loan building. The developer is seeking a B-l zoning classification to erect twin towers approximately 7 stories high with 2,500 feet for a restaurant between the towers and parking on the first level. The plan called for 72 two- bedroom and 24 one-bedroom apartments. No commercial uses except the restaurant were included in the plan. The Council declined to make any comments on the proposal until the Zoning Board of Ap­ peals makes its recom­ mendation on the hearing. Real Estate Broker Wilbert Heeht appeared at the meeting, stating that he "represented a few dozen business people on Route 120." They were seeking information regarding sewer assessment procedures adopted for the Lakeland Park project. Hecht reported that he and three other businessmen. Homer Fitzgerald, Wally Hojnacki and Frank Gregory, had gone to former City At­ torney John Looze's office to get information on the project. He said Looze was "hostile, arrogant, argumentive and uncooperative" during that meeting. The businessmen wanted to get a copy of the formula used for the sewer assessments, wanted to know who established the formula, where it was used and any in­ formation they could have. "If possible, we want it in writing," Hecht emphasized. Mayor Stanek showed Hecht a carbon copy of a letter written to him .by Baxter and Woodman stating they had developed the formula and had sent it to the city. However, they did not know who had made the assessment. Hecht mentioned that part of Mayor Stanek's election bid related to a commitment to relieve Looze of city govern­ ment duties and to reduce sewer hookup fees from $250 to $50. Stanek replied very em­ phatically that "you never heard me say I was going to reduce hookup fees". Hecht admitted that he had not. Stanek continued by stating that "I never said I would remove him (Looze) from the special assessment project. He worked on it and is entitled to his fee " Hecht also mentioned that he was paying $84 more on his. special assessment than Stanek was for his property even though Hecht had six feet less. Stanek angered and told Hecht, "After you slandered me in the paper with your letter, you were told that all corner commercial lots are not permitted to build within 20 feet of the side lot line. Therefore, all commercial corner lots are given a 10-foot credit." When asked if Hecht had checked with the other eight corner lot owners, he said he had not. At this point Alderman Rogers commented that since the Mavor's lot was not the only one affected by this assessment roll, it was not fair to single him out when there are about seven others involved. Rogers felt all had received equal treatment Hecht has consistently complained that businesses have been over-assessed. Stanek explained that since a businessman had more to gain, having sewer available, a commercial lot should pay more. "If you have a commercial property with three stores on the ground floor and three apartments on top, don't you think sewer hookup would make it more valuable," Stanek asked Alderman Bolger also told Hecht that "you stand to gain more than a resident property user." Bolger stated that if something was kept from Hecht, "We want you to get it." "However, don't you feel that you have antagonized some people so much that they are against you? You are not satisfied with answers. It seems you are more interested in stirring something up," Bolger commented. Hecht replied that he just wants straight, honest answers. The discussion ended when Stanek agreed to get a copy of the formula from Baxter and PICTURE OF YOU RIGHT HERE WE DO. 1973 OLDS Woodman for Hecht along with a spread of t he assessment rolls and would make available all special assessment records for examination by the businessmen's group. In other business, the Council approved: A Tax Levy Ordinance for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 1972. in the amount of $262,350. (City Auditor Bill North stated this would reduce the tax rate by ten and one-half percent on city property tax ); Reimbursement of policemen who successfully complete police oriented courses at McHenry County college. They will be reimbursed for tuition and book fees which will amount to approximately $50 per man; A tag day Sept. 15 for the McHenry Hornets football team; A candy sale Oct. 13 for Cub Scout Pack 131. which is sponsored by the Methodist Church Men's club; Submitting a proposal to the legislature requesting reconsideration of a proposal to make drastic cuts in the Federal Civil Defense budget which could affect the proposed police station enlargement and the flood control assistance program; Resolutions recognizing the efforts and valuable assistance given to the city toward completion of Route 120 West. Named in the resolutions were former Mayor Donald P. Doherty, Thomas J. Hanahan, Jr., Democratic Represen­ tative, 33rd district and Albert M. Jourdan, Jr.,,. Republican Central committeeman; The low bid from Thatcher Engineering Corporation of Waukegan in the amount of $27,115 for construction of 145 feet of piling on Boone creek near the city hall. The only other bidder was Lakeland Construction company of McHenry, who bid $28,963 75. The Mayor authorized various Council committees to look into the following matters and report back at the next meeting: Alderman Bolger will advise the police department of renewed complaints of bike traffic on city sidewalks on Green street; Alderman Howard will check aspects of the new state law allowing the burning of leaves to determine if the city should draft an ordinance to handle the matter in the city limits; Alderman Pepping will contact other cities to deter­ mine what programs they undertake to keep children off the streets from trick or treating on Halloween night. He suggested such a program to safeguard the youngsters from possible traffic accidents, hazardous costumes or ob­ taining candy which has been laced with dangerous objects or drugs; Alderman Howard will obtain prices on rental of a machine to paint center lines on the blacktop roads in the city which have none; Alderman Bolger will check into the possibility of annexing several homes on Virginia and Victoria streets into the city. Thegf homes, located in the Country club subdivision, have serious settling problems and wish to have city sewer ser­ vice; Supt. Fred Meyers will check into the request for a liquor license by the National Tea company which is planning construction of a new store in the McHenry Market Place area. The company would like to sell package liquor in its retail store. After some discussion by the Council, a member of the audience, Er­ nest Schooley, questioned if the proposed store was within 100 feet of the Zion Lutheran church. (State law forbids any liquor from being sold within 100 feet of church property).
