PAGE 14 - PLA1NDEALER - WK ASK COMMUNITY BUILDING INPUT BY CITIZENS (Continued from page 1) Mayor Stanek outlined the specifications and possible uses for the building as the meeting opened and Andy Cump, an official of the National Precast company at Crystal Lake, supplemented with firm prices on a precast building and estimates on required mechanical facilities. The proposed building would consist of a clear area 94 by 176 feet with an uncluttered overhead space of 25 feet 9 inches in the center, and a wing 42 by 100 feet with a basement and first floor. There would be no oDstructing beams and the space would be very flexible, Stanek explained. He said uses could include (not necessarily all at the same time) 2 tennis courts, a basketball court, squash, handball, shower and locker rooms in the basement sauna, civil defense headquarters, trade fairs, parties, etc. The building would also serve as a service area for the proposed pool and the existing outdoor facilities in the pack. And it could be built fast, Stanek noted. Cump said that firm estimates on the building shell with footings foundation and precast panels would be $279,376 for a cost of $10.85 per square foot. There would be additional costs for topping the floor of the wing, the basement floor and the gym floor (poured concrete). The roof and in­ sulation would be $27,136 more, giving total additional costs of $65,643. With mechanicals (heating, plumbing and elec­ tricity) windows, doors, stairs aijd other appurtenances, the total cost would run to $464,000. Further costs for finishing, pointing, landscaping, and fufnishing could run the cost to a half million, the Council was informed. goellick had explained that in addition to the original cost of the YMCA building there was ATTENTION Garden Quarter Residents To Serve You Better See Page 3 McHENRY STATE BANK DNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21. 1979 an annual operating budget of $200,000 to keep the 6-lane pool and the several exercise rooms adjoining with a staff of 9 persons for a 7-day schedule. Alderman Nolan noted that Stanek's claim that the building could be had without adding to taxes referred to acquiring the building only. Stanek clarified that by saying taxes he was referring to were local taxes only, that he was aware of the source of revenue sharing money. The matter of whence the money would come to operate the building was not explored. Stanek also presented data secured from Woodstock about the costs and operating ex­ penses of an outdoor pool, which indicated that such a pool 50 meters long could cost aroung $750,000 with bathhouse and parking. Stanek noted that with seed money ($50,000) from RDS and local subscriptions they could raise enough for the pool as the next project. Woodstock indicated that operating expense for the pool last year were $46,469 which, after collecting fees for use, resulted in a loss for the year of $19,723, and which they hoped to cut to $13,000 this year. Aldermen asked questions about the precast building's performance and apperance and was assured by Cump that it would hold up under snow loads and that amount of in­ sulation and other items was a matter of choice. Alderman Ernest Schooley's inquiry as to whether a rifle range could be installed in the building drew objections from other alder­ men. Adams asked about the disposition of pledges and money for a pool received several years earlier and was advised that all funds had either been returned or turned over to the library board for use. Adams also wonder if the public could vote on the project. "I don't think the Council has the right to spend all that money". Bolger asked about establishing a park commission and noted that although the Council di/in't look favorably on it, a commission could reduce the increased workload resulting from park con­ siderations and might be ad­ visable. Among other concerns, Bolger voiced regret about the terrible waste with McCracken field and the school gyms locked against public use all summer. This building would duplicate these facilities, he said, if they could only get the schools to open their doors. He thought a park commission could address this problem. He said the Council could look into priorities - maybe the swim­ ming pool is more important, and maybe they could end up with a white elephant (building). , MCHS PLACEMENT DIRECTOR AIDS JOB SEEKER, EMPLOYER (Continued from page 1) ployment and Training Act (CETA) programs.

REVISED REPORT BY ZONING GROUP (Continued from page 1) of radical change, the audience gradually faded into the exits. By the time the official meeting was completed and the dozen people still remaining were asked for comment, only one, Robert Lehr, review planner for the McHenry County Regional Planning com­ mission, replied. Lehr had a prepared statement-with copies for each of the board members-to refute some of the testimony at earlier hearings about the value and importance of the use of soil maps on land use decisions. He expanded on the compatibility of the use of various physical charac­ teristics of soils with particular emphasis on topography. Emphasis was also placed on the inaccuracy of soil per-% eolation tests and the fact that few engineers can recommend changes in soil maps. Such a task, he noted is up to the soil scientists of the U.S.D.A., who are not readily available, or qualified members of the Illinois Soil Classification assocation. Chairperson Girard thanked all members concerned for their hard work and fine at­ titude during these past months of hearings and assured the Special Zoning committee that its expertise would be called upon in the final drafting of the proposed ordinance.
