Experts View Future Growth CYCLONE IS COMING TO Jos.H.Huemann & SONS WELL DRILLING Daniel Pike, center, executive director of the Illinois Nature Conservancy, is shown at Saturday's growth conference with Mary Loving, left, of Crystal Lake, and William Howenstine, McHenry. Four experts from varying disciplines all agree on one principle - that planning for future growth must take place now. The four were featured speakers at a conference on growth - "Growth: Choice or Chance?" - h$ld Saturday in Crystal Lake. All agreed that each community must determine its own growth goals and that the costs of obtaining professional planning help will be small compared to the benefits to be reaped in the future. Area leaders who attended were Alderman Edward Datz, representing the city of M c H e n r y ; W i l l i a m Howenstine, McHenry County Conservation district and Defenders; Kay Hutchings and Karen Salman of the League of Women Voters; Betty Keeney and Margaret Marchi of the Defenders and Henry F. Nell, president of School District 15. All are from McHenry. Also present were Francis G. Higgins and T.P. Mathews of Wonder Lake. The conference was sponsored by the McHenry County Defenders, the Crystal Lake branch of the American Association of University Women and the Crystal Lake- Cary League of Women Voters in an attempt to focus in on growth problems and to find some possible solutions to growing pains. The speakers included William J. Toner, American Society of Planning Officials; Marvin J. Glink, municipal lawyer; James M. Banovetz, professor of political science and authority on municipal management; and Daniel Pike, executive director of the Illinois Nature Conservancy. The conference was attended by approximately 150 area participants representing city and county governments as well as school boards, environmental groups and the fields of education, medicine, law and real estate. Crystal Lake, Woodstock, McHenry, Cary, Bar ring ton, Elgin, Prairie Grove, Rockford and Lake County governmental units were all represented. There were several persons attending who are involved with planning for McHenry county. Pike detailed the urgent need for a national land use policy to help states deal with the 10 percent of land use decisions which are of a regional, rather than a local, nature, y He stressed that fears that the national government is trying to dictate zoning decisions on local matters are groundless. He characterized the proposed federal legislation as providing a land use process or system. It is not a specific land use map or plan. The federal legislation, which has been delayed indefinitely by the House Rules committee, would require " that participating states identify areas whose preservation is critical. These would include areas of historical, aesthetic or cultural importance, areas such as flood plains which pose a hazard to development, and areas such as marshes which are necessary to renew natural resources. Pike also described a new Illinois law which will help local governments in acquiring open lands. Matching funds will be available from the Department of Conservation to help purchase recreational areas such as parks, beaches, forests and river frontage as well as to help create water impoundments for recreational use and to preserve areas of scenic value. Later Trustee William Howenstine of the McHenry County Conservation district commented that the district has already applied for matching funds under this law to help reimburse the district for the purchase costs of a recent acquisition of land near Cary. While the states have taken steps to aid local governments in open space acquisition, Pike noted that there is a large void between the needs of the community and the capability of government. This is where private agencies such as the Nature Conservancy play a part. Where desirable land is threatened by development, a private agency can act quickly and quietly to buy up the threatened land. Often the Nature Conservancy will then resell this land to the appropriate governmental agency when it has had time to arrange funding. ' Banovetz noted that until recently, it was not questioned that growth was good. Now communities are taking a closer look at the cost-benefit ratios presented by developers and are finding that these ratios, prepared by the developers' experts, often favor the developer and do not reflect many hidden costs of growth. As population becomes more dense, the costs of government for each person will increase. More police and fire protection, more services such as welfare, water, sewage treatment, and garbage disposal, new schools and more recreational land are all required to accommodate a growing population. But these must be paid for by the existing population. Banovetz said that it is important for communities to identify which growth is worthwhile. In general a single family home is a net drain on the community. According to a NIPC study, only a home valued at $75,000 or more will pay its own way in taxes. Glink stated that community planning ad received a big boost from a recent U.S. Supreme court decision involving Belleterre, N.Y. The court stated that it is clearly proper for a community to plan for the health and welfare of its citizens and that it has a right and a duty to protect its citizens. A valuable strategy for communities to use is the development of boundary agreements between towns where areas earmarked for future development overlap. Agreements make it impossible for developers to say to Town A that if you don't give me what I PAGE 15 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, APRIL 26. 1974 BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME THIS WEEKEND WITH î-lower weed trees and shrubs ARBOR DAY SALE 3 DAY ONLY Friday, April 26 thru Sunday, April 28 ANALYZE LAKE WATER - The 180th Preventive Medicine Army Reserve unit, Chicago, came to McHenry last Saturday to assist the McCullom Lake Conservation club in its project of determining the parasite that caused swimmer's itch.

The issue of home rule was of great interest to conference participants judging by the questions which followed Glink's presentation. Relatively small towns can benefit from home rule in situations where the legislature is slow to pass legislation allowing the town to do what it wishes to do to regulate itself. Glink gave as an example a situation where a county board allows rezoning over the objections of a nearby city. Home rule could give the city "standing" so that it has the right to challenge the county decision in court. Without home rule, the city cannot go to court because the state legislature has not specifically given cities this power. Toner also stressed the urgent need for towns to work out a growth policy and to publish it for all to see. A second important step is for all supportive policies governing such things as available services, schools, etc., to coincide with the overall growth goal. Additional copies of the study materials which were mailed out prior to the conference may be obtained by contacting Sherry Anderson 338-5539. The conference was taped and it is hoped that mimeographed copies of the proceedings will be available in a few weeks. Sydna Becker 815-459-6783 MARRIAGE LICENSES -> Ronald R.
