STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD VIEW RDG ANNEXATION FISCAL IMPACT (Continued from page 1) reexamine the table and return at the next meeting with a possible correction or ex­ planation of the figures in the 'table. Dyke was also instructed to return to the next hearing with more information regarding how certain assumptions made in the study were reached. Board member Anna Cuda asked Dyke to return with clarification regarding the impact of the development on the school districts and projected student enrollment. Lewis T. Hooper, a 25-year veteran in soils testing, testified at the hearing the development would not require anything extraordinary to build utilities and residences. Hooper explained he had prepared an air photo in­ terpretation study of the area in .August and had examined the soil conditions and ground water table level in the area. He reportedly had taken 31 soil borings at the site. Hooper testified there would be no change to the surrounding area, either developed land or undeveloped, caused by the development. A question asked concerned the effect of the development on Boone creek. "If anything, the develop­ ment will help Boone creek," he said. He explained that it would help the creek by eliminating the fertilizers currently going into the creek, when the land is changed from farming to residential. Robert Hamilton, who supervised the traffic study, explained the manner in which the study was conducted. He said that the signalization of Route 120 and Draper road and Route 120 and Crystal Lake road would allow the added traffic created by the development to flow. "Based on our study," he said, "we feel local roads can accept the additional traffic." He explained that peak traffic loads were used in the study and the volume appeared higher for the roads because Draper road and Curran road are presently underutilized.° Hamilton indicated it would take 15 seconds of green light out of 60 seconds to clear traffic that would build up on Draper road at 120. Twenty to 25 seconds would be needed at the Crystal Lake road intersection. Superintendent of Public Works Fred Meyer told At­ torney Ladd the funds were available for the signalization at the two intersections and the job had to be put to bid by Sept. 30 of this year. Hamilton added that Crystal Lake road would be able to handle more traffic when it was widened to a full four lanes, doubling the load it could handle. Dyke told the board the proposed development, "in general, complies with the comprehensive plan for McHenry," which the Bar- tholemew firm developed. "The overall financial im­ pact of the development' on McHenry would be favorable," he said. "The city has1 some very fine policies regarding developer contributions." Dyke added that cash donations promised by RDG when the property is ahnexed, shows the development will more than pay its own way. "It will have a very positive fiscal impact on the city," he added. Dyke explained that the Comprehensive plan was nearing the end at its usefulness. However, he in­ dicated the density proposed in the area falls within guidelines of the plan adopted ten years ago. Ladd requested the Zoning Board subpoena represen­ tatives from the school boards, the rescue squad, the fire district, and the hospital to testify at the hearing regarding the impact of the development on their operations. Ladd indicated he would invite the representatives to attend, "but I have no power to compel them to attend, and their testimony is essential toward establishing the credibility of the fiscal impact study. There will be a serious gap in the testimony if we don't hear from them." Fouse explained the board would not subpoena any wit­ nesses, but would listen to the remaining witnesses called by the petitioner and the ob­ jectors. City attorney Bernard Narusis added the board could subpoena witnesses after the hearing is over if they deter­ mine they don't have all the information they need. Narusis agreed to allow Ladd to prepare subpoenas for certain witnesses, but said that if people don't comply with the order, the board would not attempt to force them to honor the subpoena. The hearing, which began at . 2 p.m., was finally recessed nearly four hours later until Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council chambers.

The outgoing sheriff said there were probably quite a few people who would like his job, but few were qualified. "It is a very difficult and demanding job," he said. "This is a very complex business." Tyrrell thanked and praised county officials, saying he had run-ins with the County board on occasion, "but overall, the board has treated me and the department very fairly," he said. "I would put this department alongside any one in the country," Tyrrell explained and added that the top priority of the department in the future should be the expansion of the county jail. The sheriff said he wouldn't be moving from the county. M'The county's been good to me," he explained. The County board may ap­ point a successor to Tyrrell's position at its next meeting. Until then, Tyrrell said he would help with the selection if asked. "If the County board wishes," he said, "I'll be more than happy to help."
