Zoning Board approves 277 3023 Saturday's LOTTO: 15-17-19- 22-34-38 Local report By Anthony Oliver Plaindealer staff writer The McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) voted Thursday to recommend approval of a petition which would allow the construction of a hotel on McHenry's southeast Side. j The ZBA's action was the Second Step in clearing the way for the annexation of about 40 acres of land south of the Northern Illinois ledical Center (NIMC) property on Route 31. Earlier, the petitioners received a positive recommenda­ tion from the McHenry Plan Commission. The petitioners - the McHenry Economic Development Commis­ sion, John Tyshenko, and the Still­ ing land trust - sought B-2 business toning on two of three parcels and R-4 multi-family on the remainder. The two business parcels have frontage on Route 31 and are tenta­ tively slated for the hotel and a health club. TjSitifylng for the petitioners, Chamber of Commerce Exec. Di­ rector Fran Olsen said her office receives many calls^bout hotel ac­ commodations in the McHenry "There are no hotels ft! the entire Chain of Lakes, torn "WJlmot to Algonquin dam," Oi wicks said there was a "dire need" for the hotel and the multi-family zoning both. He pointed out there was only aboutjO acres of R-4 land that would reasonably be developed in the neir fiIPe, providing about 100 units' many judging from thei)in& of requests," Gel- wicks saftEm noted that NIMC was one of the largest employers in the county and said many of these peo­ ple and young families are looking for apartments. The petitioners requested a varia­ tion on the multi-family parcel to allow 15 units per acre instead of the 10 units allowed by the ordi­ nance. They argued that 10 units per acre was not enough to make the project economically Viable. "There is no way to make mom at 10 units per acre," Gelwicks said. "Since the code was changed, I do not believe any new apartments have been built. There are basically vacancies? in McHenry. With the )xijnity to the Ingest, employer in s outside edge of the " couldn't be a more suitable place for a variation." But, the ZBA was not convinced that a 50 percent increase" In the number of units was actually warranted. The petitioner's attorney, Daniel Curran, asked if the ZBA would recommend the variation condition­ ed upon city council approval of a site plan, but met again with opposi­ tion from the board. Curran admitted there was no present plan for the development of the multi-family acreage. He noted the purchase of the land was simply part of the deal to get the hotel property. Hotel owner John Tyshenko said ivisioned a 58-room hotel with banquet facilities for 400 people, a cocktail lounge and dining area, ty­ shenko currently owns and operates a hotel in Lake Geneva (Wis.) with his family. The ZBA voted to recommend ap- unanimous. . The eight-acre tract which Is the tentative location for a health dub was received a favorable vote of 5-2. Two of the ZBA members, Jfames Fouse and Annie Cuda, wanted to limit the use of the pared to a health dub. But the motion was to recommend B-2 zoning with no re­ strictions on the permitted uses. According to state law, a vote of five is required before a recommen­ dation can be made to the city council. The ZBA voted unanimously to recommend approval of B-2 toeing for the 10-acre hotel pared and R-4 multi-family for the remaining 22 acres. No variations were approved for the multi-family tract Prep child care center open But Campus Home Economics Coordinator," Antanda Demlck- Noyes, has announced that there are openings for children in the ABC Learning Land pre-school run by child care students. t Parents Interested in this opportunity for their children should send their names and addresses to Mrs. Demick-Noyes, McHenry High School East Campus, 1012 N.

Jack Shaffer, R-Cary, is continuing to iponitor the sludge dumping situation in Jotuuibiirg that has come under fire by residents of that area. In a telephone interview Friday morning, Schaffer explained he had extensive discussions with Mayor William Dam of Fox Lake regard­ ing the situation. Schaffer stated that Dam doesn't want to be a bad neighbor and heland his technical people on the project are exploring otter avenues that will possibly re­ solve this situation. * Schaffer emphasized he feels this % situation can be resolved without resorting to litigation or legislation. "We are dealing with rational, caring people in Fox Lake." Schaffer belieives the biggest problem is with the permit process. He feds that before a municipality, area in and around the sludge site and will test these samples before another sludge application. Fox Lake has agreed to a judicious ap­ plication of the sludge for the re­ mainder of the contract period. Since the farm is larger than 300 or any other sludge hauler is able to thS are^o? closeto apply sludge to a site, that arllHE^i are not dose to should be thoroughly tested by the Illinois Environmental Protection other homesteads or to the high school. He will not, however, apply Agency . The cost of testing ' »JX.*" 300 would save alot of trouble in the future, he says. The solution to the situation? The IEPA is drawing samples in the as per the regulations. This will only be a one-year regu­ lation site, according to Schaffer. The senator hopes a compromise between Fox Lake and citizens will . reached within 10 days. If the Ity is unable to come up wlh a plan within that time, Dam will be will­ ing to sit down with a group of citizens from the area and, hopeful­ ly, together they will reach a solution. > According to Schaffer, land appli­ cation of sludge Is an appropriate procedure. He stated that many mu- nidpalities have bean putting the sludge in landfills and simply cover­ ing them over with dirt. that this creates more hazards and will cause greater problems down the line.
