Wiss said the ponds would only have a measurable amount of water in them, perhaps three or four times a; year-after very severe •bins. (Continued on page 4) Second, the report recom­ mends that the speed limit be reduced north of McCullom Lake road from 55 mph to 45 ' mph to beyond the commercial area. Storm water run-off and drainage was another point of concern for the Riverside drive residents. According U o Wiss, the northern 13^ acres (ap­ proximate) drains north of the property into a channel which then flows east to the Fox river. The balance of the acreage drains to the southeast where there is already a ditch. The developers propose to establish two detention ponds, in their natural locations, one in the northeast and a larger bastti la the southeastern t corner of the site. The larger basin, according to Wiss, would be no more than 5 feet deep and the smaller would only be 3 feet deep. Both of the basins would have gently sloping sides, 3 feet lateral for every 1 foot of drop, and would be seeded to control erosion. Honored Express Zoning Objections SISTER M.

Conditional Uses..."sanitary landfills are 'designed as conditional uses. Said designation is in contravention of Illinois state law which has preempted jurisdiction of McHenry county concerning landfills..."each church will be permitted only conditional use permit. This requirement of the proposed zoning ordinance is so stringent as to probably violate the First amendment of the Constitution". M i n i m u m F a r m Classification..."objects to the^ determination of 35-acre tracts to be the 'minimum' farm use classification, as it appears said determination is arbritary and unreasonable". One Acre Residential Use..."objects to the failure of the proposed zoning ordinance to provide for a 1-acre single family residence use district". plied to every proposed in­ dustrial use -appears to ex­ ceed, substantially, the State Enabling act for county zoning, and its grant of authority, to counties to designate lands suitable for industrial use generally." Variations..."that the regulations contained in the proposed ordinances for variations for the actual uses of property will not be allowed. Further, it appears that variations will only be granted for the following categories: bulk, setback, parking, loading, The McHenry County Bar association on Monday released a resolution opposing passage of the proposed McHenry county zoning or­ dinance. Norman J. Pollock, president of the association, said letters had been sent to each membdfr of the McHenry County board of supervisors, urging each to vote against passage of the proposed ordinance. Pollock noted that the Bar association realizes the hard work that went into creation of the proposal, adding that its intent is not to question the merits of the ordinance. In­ stead, he continued, it is "to point out possible legal pitfalls if the ordinance is passed in its present form". The resolution strikes out at particular portions which the Bar association feels may be "unconstitutional, unduly complicated, inflationary, or expensive for the county to administer."
