I'/U.K 18 - FLAI!\UfcALKK-FRipAY_,J\pVEMBER 2^1973 MERCHANTS PROTEST NEW PARKING METERS (Continued from page 1) Daniel Kinnerk appeared at a previous meeting and asked that clubs be allowed to establish a trail which would permit them to reach the Riviera Yacht Basin in order to fuel and repair their machines. Alderman Harker quoted an ordinance adopted by the city in 1971 which stated that various classes of recreational vehicles Would r ot be allowed to operate on or in parks, school property, streets, etc.. within the corporate limits of the city. Following more discussion, the Council indicated that the city had no objection to the club's use of the McDonald property (Mid States Development company), south on Route 31 or for a trail through the Country club. However, Narusis cautioned that should there be many complaints, the city can control private property in the cor­ porate limits and the uses to which it can be put. Mayor Sfanek reported that Mr. Lindstrom of the state EPA had recently taken eight tests of the water in Lakeland Park in various locations. He said the tests were perfect and there was absolutely no danger in using the water. Lindstrom indicated some things that might be necessary but he stressed there was no danger, Stanek pointed out. Lindstrom also assured Mayor Stanek that the city would be given regular reports on the water system along with Ladd and the Lakeland Park Property Owner's association. As of now, the water is being chlorinated. Alderman William Bolger advised that the Water and Sewer committee met last week and had several recommendations for the Council. The first matter under discussion was the request made by the County board regarding the possibility of dumping sewage which has been pumped from septic systems into the city plant. Bolger noted that if sewage was pumped once in four years from a family of four, it would be similar to the sewage from 2,800 people being put through the city plant in one day. Plant Operator Howard Dowell was at the meeting and reported it would be very difficult to treat this waste matter. The committee recom­ mended that the Council should not consider accepting any sewage from septic systems. Bolger mentioned that if there should be an extreme emergency in the city, it could be considered. "But, for the record," Bolger stated, "we recommend not accepting any outside sewage." Dr. Hal Sundin of the firm of Baxter and Woodman, city engineers, told the Water and Sewer committee that phosphate removal equipment has been installed at the sewer plapt as per EPA requirements. Chemicals to complete this process would cost $50 to $80 per day. Dr. Sundin suggested that the state be contacted and asked that the city plant not be required to start using the phosphate removal process until a substantial number of plants along the Fox river also are required to use it. "It would be like blowing in the wind if we use it and no other plant does." Dr. Sundin commented. Alderman Bolger also reported that Baxter and Woodman indicated they would make a complete study of the Lakeland Park Water system, the price not to exceed $3,000. However, Mayor Stanek contended that "we should have a firm acknowledgement from Ladd that he is still in­ terested in selling the system. If he indicates he is in­ terested," the Mayor added, Come in and browse, you'll get ideas for furnishing your bath and discover many charming gifts. 3012 W. Rte. 120, McHenry East of New Bridge - Free Parking 385-0048 Mon.-Thurs. 9-5:30, Fri. 9-9, Sat. 9-5 Complete planning and installation of fixtures and accessories^ . "we could go ahead." All agreed. In other action, the Council agreed to amend an ordinance which sets pay for auxiliary policemen. The wording of the ordinance was changed to "give a degree of flexibility" sb that from time to time, the pay rate can be revised without changing the entire ordinance. Approval was given to establish the pay rate for auxiliary policemen at $3.15 per hour. Fred Meyer commented that steps are being taken to prepare the necessary papers "prior to appearing before the Interstate Commerce com­ mission. The city is seeking a right-of-way across the railroad tracks for the ex­ tension of Lillian street. Meyer also reported that Jim Rakow \ackffowledged receipt of a letter from the city con­ cerning the old steel bridge on Pearl street. Rakow informed Meyer that he obtained ap­ proval from the county Road and Bridge committee to proceed with a study of the old bridge. A meeting has been set for Nov. 14. The State Highway depart­ ment was contacted by Meyer regarding the possibility of changing the speed limit on Route 120 West. The Council would like to have a 35 m.p.h. speed limit in force out to Beach avenue. Harker quoted a city or­ dinance which stated that the speed limit on Routes 31 and 120 within the city limits should not exceed 30 m.p.h. However, it was pointed out that the state controls all limits on state high­ ways. The State Highway depart­ ment informed Meyer a traffic study would have to be made by their department before con­ sidering any change. It was noted that the state had put a revolving beacon light on top of the hospital roof which will operate twenty-four hours a day. It is a heliport beacon which designates the hospital as a Trauma center. The Council agreed to allow petitioners Michael Weiser and James Patzke and their at­ torney, John Looze, to appear before the Council at the next meeting and present their case regarding a zoning reclassification request. At a previous meeting, the Council approved the recommendation of the McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals and denied the reclassification of a lot on Kane avenue across from the Junior high school. The petitioners seek reclassification to allow ^ multiple family dwelling. Through an oversight, the petitioners and their attorney were not given the proper five- day notice and therefore were not present at the zoning hearing to submit their case. City Clerk Earl Walsh mentioned that there were plans to build a Pizza Hut on the southwest corner of Route 120 and Crystal Lake road. The owners indicated a desire to obtain a liquor license in order to serve beer and wine. No action was taken on the request because no building permit had been issued to date. Harker mentioned that the Jaycees and its auxiliary had worked hard to complete plans for entertaining the children at the East campus cafeteria on Halloween. He expressed appreciation for cooperation from many people. Alderman Pepping an­ nounced that a meeting has been set for Nov. 7 on a ICC proposal to put a sewerage treatment plant in the neigh­ borhood of Eastwood Manor. Mayor Stanek appointed Pepping to attend the meeting and report back. The next Council meeting will be held Monday, Nov. 5, at the city hall. McHENRY WOMEN HURT IN TUESDAY COLLISION (Continued from page 1) cited for failure to yield at private drive or alley after he collided with an auto Saturday afternoon at the corner of Riverside drive and Elm street. Fred Huff master of 1201 W. Rocky Beach, McHenry, left Triton Marine and was proceeding north on Riverside drive. As he approached Elm, the McNulty auto pulled away from a gas station and ran into his vehicle. ^ McNulty said he looked for cross traffic as he left the station and saw none, but as he pulled out, the collision oc­ curred. John E. McMillan of 7505 Center drive, Wonder Lake, was hospitalized in McHenry following a two-car crash at the intersection of Rt. 31 and Ringwood road. The accident took place at 9 o'clock Wed­ nesday night. Ann N. Thennes of 1005 N. Green street, McHenry, told sheriff's deputies that she was driving north on Rt. 31 at about 60 miles per hour. When she saw the other car approaching from the west on Ringwood road, Miss Thennes said she applied the brakes but was unable to avoid the collision. No statement was made by the other driver because of his MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) necessary to become involved. If this happens with the school safety problem, new regulations will be well worth the effort put forth.
