Strong objections at Wonder ke to multi-family dwellings Sti La By Kurt Begalka Shaw Free Press Media Hie people came out in droves Tuesday night and their message was clear - no multi- family dwellings. By 8 p.m., when the public hearing on a development plan was scheduled to start, cars lined both sides of Burton Road for several blocks. People packed the Wonder Lake village hall. Most stood because of a lack of cliairs. T h e C o m p r e h e n s i v e Municipal Plan Commission of the village held the hearing and a preceding workshop to discuss a petition by Wonder Lake Realty Trust to develop a 112- acre tract within the village. Trust President Charles Jacobson is seeking approval of a partial preliminary plat of an area bordered by Thompson and Wondermere roads designated as Sunrise Ridge Estates. He 56 acres from to residential, with large lots to avoid the expense of building and maintaining roads. The tentative plan calls for six buildings, consisting of eight dwelling units each. Five would be built on three and one-fourth acres each. The sixth would be located on a seven-acre tract. Six duplexes and a commercial building also are planned. < As yet there are no plans for the remaining 56 acres. There may never be. Jacobson said he got the impression from the meeting that many residents were against growth. >. "What really appalled me was some people were talking about not developing anything," he said. Hie discussion quickly got out Pledge hostile Mark Smith due for parole hearing soorT by Kurt Begalka A self-confessed multiple killer who was convicted in 1970 for two McHenry County murders and sentenced to serve 200 years imprisonment for each is due for a parole hearing in mid-October. The case of Mark A. Smith will be considered by the state's Prisoner Review Board and the family of one victim is pushing to make sure the answer is, "no." Smith, 30, of McHenry, is serving his term in the state correctional center in Pontiac. Smith pleaded guilty to charges of murdering Jean Ann Lingenfelter on May 27, 1970, and Mrs. Jean Irene Bianchi on Jan. 27 the same year -- both in the McHenry area. Hie body of Lingenfelter, 18, was found May 28 on the Lakeland Park side of McCullom Lake. Bianchi's body was found Jan. 30,1970, under a bridge in a frozen creek on A look inside... jAthlete meets a challenge .

Elm Street, McHenry, at Monday night's City Council meeting. "This petition is about noise abatement and our inability to sleep because of the night shift at fcby-Brown," said Beverly Zelinskas. Ms. Zelinskas was one of three area residents who attended the meeting. She said the workers keep the truck engines running all night, the radio volumes are turned up, motorcycle car and truck engines race as employees arrive and depart, there is yelling and workers throw boxes into tne trucks. Aid. Edward Datz (2nd) asked, "Have you filed any complaint?" Ms. Zelinskas said she called the Police Department, "with no results." Alcf Ray S said he had looked into Smith (3rd) the matter and explained to Ms. Zelinskas that the chief had tried to contact her. She also charged that the truck drivers turn around "practically on top of the cars" which, die noted, were parked on private property. "It's a bad situation...a dangerous situation," she said. "Does this constitute a nuisance?" asked Mayor Joseph Stanek. »r it's a nuisance, I can't s6y," said Police Chief George Pasenelli. "They did start al night shift. The owner seems to be reasonable and we'll get in touch with him." City Attorney Bernard Narusis pointed out that there are ordinances to regulate yelling, horns, radios, mufflers, etc. at different hours of the night. "We're residential, we have some rights too," said another woman. "You can't always cater to the businesses." Superintendent of Public Works Paul J. Halvensleben reported that road work in McHenry Shores was about 60 percent complete and commented that work on some streets was halted because it turned out that they were not dedicated public streets. Mayor Stanek said more research was involved to determine the status of the roads, particularly Unit 5, the southernmost unit of the Shores. On two of the streets, Bonita and Biscayne, it appears from available information'that these are private roads; however the area is developed. Biscayne is one of the major access points to the Shores from Green Street. In other areas, like Forest Road, which is little more than a mud path, there are no homes and road maintenance is not as imperative, according to some councilmen. Aid. William Bolger (1st) said it was "imperative^ to act on Biscayne and Bonita. Stanek said the question of ownership should be resolved first because of some "delicate legal questions." If the roads are found to be privately owned, responsibility (Continued on pago 3) Adjust village budget to unforeseen need by Marion Olsen The Lakemoor Village Board recently worked on adjusting the yearly budget to meet unexpected developments. President Richard Hyatt reported that expected revenues from Motor Fuel taxes will be down $1,200 and planned expenditures will have to be cut or come from another revenue source. He also reported that the Public Works department employee hired under Comprebenaive _gmptoyroent will no longer receive that support. The board voted unanimously to continue his employment bv charging one day of his weekly salary to the of hand, with people trying to outshout each other. Even the le of Allegiance took on le overtones. Charges of "Nazi" and lving flew about the room, amid boos (Continued on pogo 3) Bridge and Vehicle Tax Funds. . Because of budget restrictions, the employee will not be given overtime pay and any hours worked beyond the allotted eight hours per day or 40 hours per week must be made up with compensatory time off. The added expense of supporting the employee led the board to table an ordinance lowering the garbage collection rates. Restructuring of the building clerk's time charges from 33 percent to 50 percent allotment of time to the Garbage Fund also prompted tne reassessment of the reduction. In a cost-cutting effort, Public Works Director Mark Zeffety was authorized to shop lOT »UOl wllVO 9 wllVvA absorbers and a tune-up for the village truck at a maximum co6t of $400. A repair to the village hall boiler was also okayed. A premium payment on insurance for the boiler for the lift station also received approval. The policy will be reviewed as well. In nirther action, the trustees voted to purchase a water cooler for the village hall at $140. Also, permission was given to the Esprit-de-Corps community improvement group to close off Hollywood Terrace from Route 120 to Riverside Drive from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 8 and from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 9. The group is sponsoring a festival to raise funds to improve the community. The village will take proper legal actions on the matter. Hyatt made several other announcements: -The Illinois Department of Transportation has said the village is responsible for costs of any. ctogges.Jpt the sewer systCTHi resulting fron\ stRlc road expansion on the right-of- way of Route 120. - Garbage removal service will be discontinued for 11 residents who have not paid their bills. -A meeting will be held between the village officials, the village attorney, Developer Robert L.

"We want to keep him in there (prison) until this man is too old to be destructive," said Mrs. Thomas Waldron, mother of Mrs. Bianchi. In testimony (Hi the stand, Smith also admitted murdering Mrs. Obie Fay Ash on Dec. 3, 1969, in Mountain Home, Ark. After receiving two terms of 200 years each for the the McHenry County murders, Smith was transferred to Arkansas authorities for hearings on the murder of Mrs. Ash. On March, 18, 1971, he was sentenced to a term of life imprisonment for the Mountain Home murder. The Arkansas sentence was to follow the sentences received in McHenry County. Smith was denied parole three years ago and can be denied opportunity for parole now for another three. If successful, in three years Smith will come up before the parole board annually. The sister and mother of Bianqhi are mustering a letter campaign to ensure Smith stays where he is. "I wouldn't want this person living nekt door to me," said the victim's sister Betty. She said she believes it is everyone's concern. "I think people are getting tired of criminals getting out," her sister added.
