COUNCIL-FAESTEL IN DEBATE (Continued from page 1) The bridge and the Curran road extension, Faestel noted, were not necessary to the development of the subdivision. Faestel pointed out that if no agreement could be reached, he was prepared to sell the northwest part of the' tract and keep the balance for farming. Mayor Stanek said that if the economy were such that the City could not get adequate concessions to meet its needs and the developers could not nfttke a profit, "perhaps both parties should just walk away.'; When asked what kind of a percentage he was talking about, Alderman Pepping s$id, "I think we're talking about 50 percent." Alderman Pepping pointed out that $75,000 was about 50 percent of the projected cost of the bridge, if it were built today. . Alderman Wieser said, "I don't know, I'm leaning toward 50 percent." He ^ added that this does not include the cost of the added ' 340 feet of road through the park land-open space. A polling of the Council, requested by Attorney Richard Zukowski, representing the developers, showed that all Council members present Aldermen Pepping, Nolan, Harker, Datz, Wieser and Schooley - were in favor of 50 percent cost sharing on at least the bridge. •> Alderman Wieser said he would consider allowing the developers a couple more lots in the northwest portion of 'the park land-open space, if they would pay for the road. "I don't see that we heed a park this large <22 acres)," Wieser said, and added that the added 340 feet of road should not be cost shared. Both Aldermen Nolan and Schooley took exception to giving up any park land-open space*v ^ Alderman Nolan had suggested getting the $75,000 up front and using it to earn interest until such time as the bridge was built. ' Alderman Wieser said, "I cannot imagine those'fellows putting up $75,000 now for a bridge five years down the line." Wieser also pointed out that no one -coul^j "whaj ̂ 73f,000*would earn over the next few years. Mayor Stanek said, "I think money in hand is the best bet." "Not if it's not enough," Alderman Pepping said. iiegarding previous points of discussion, the' Council seemed willing to accept phased building of the Curran road extension as the platting proceeds and a 36- foot road - 24-foot driving surface with 6-foot seal coated shoulders - instead of the 40-foot road - 24-foot driving surface with 8-foot paved shoulders. The wide shoulders are intended to eliminate a sidewalk running the length of the Curran road ex­ tension. The developers told the Council that they had received the okay from their financers to dedicate the 100- foot right-of-way for the Curran road extension. The developers also said they were ready to dedicate the park land-open space without credit toward other developer donations « school, library and park. Faestel said they had originally considered the park land-open space to be a credit of $88,000. The meeting was recessed until July, 10 at 8 p.m. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) money and refuses to take away the source of an im­ pending ulcer. Once again we are at the intersection of Waukegan, Front and Rt. 120. And once again we are waiting for relief from west-bound Waukegan street drivers who can't - or won't -read the "no blocking in­ tersection" signs. The arrows give all the right, signals, the mid-street barrier says "no-no" to east- bound traffic wanting to turn onto Waukegan. But the real difficulty is still there.

With that, the Council left the problem of where to park with the Medical Group. The Council addressed a letter from Richard Rosing, 4^/IcHenry Building officer, which requested tfitft the fence ordinance be amended to allow the building officer to approve fences in certain situations -- corner lots, height requirements, dog More Comfort wi th Less Energy LENNOX JLcutdtttwi&Ji Exclusive 2-speed Central Air Conditioning ^ SAVE GAS with a gas furnace Electronic ignition, Heatsaver™ vent damper, quality construction give you more comfort for less BE eaiUWotruan ™ mnwmm HEATING AND COOLING MdEMY, HUMS' A Certified LENNOX Dealer («is)4smmo 'LENNOXl AM CONOmOMNQ • HEATING run fences and split rail. Alderman Harker com­ mented that this was a lot of authority to delegate to one person and felt that fence variations should still be decided by the "collective wisdom" of the Council. The Council did feel, however, that the fence ordinance could use some work and possible revision. By a unanimous vote, the matter was referred to the Building and Zoning com­ mittee for study and recommendation. The Council considered and granted a fence Variation requested by Thomas Jornd, of 45J.9 W. Parkway, McHenry. The Council also unanimously approved a Zoning Board of Appeals recommeridation to change a restricted "B-2" business classification to a restricted "B-l" business classification for an acre (approximate) tract of land at the in­ tersection of Rape street and . Route ii. Alderman Wieser reported that it was nearing the time to mow some 100 vacant- lots in the City and said the License committee recommended increasing the fees. .Wieser noted that many of the lots are owned by "out- of-towners" who are .not around to take care of the v property. "We have to do it for them and I'll move to approve this ordinance," Alderman Wieser said. . The vote to approve was unanimous. ' The new fees reflect an across-the-board increase of $10. If the lot is 10,000 square feet or less, the fee is $25; from 10,000 to 20,000 square feet, the fee is $30; from 20,000 square feet to an acre, the fee is $35; and for each additional acre or fraction of an acre; the fee is $35: The prevailing wage or­ dinance, which is mandated by the state, was passed and the appropriations or­ dinance was presented to the Council. , The appropriations or­ dinance will be passed at the July 7 meeting which will also serve as the public hearing for the ordinance. The, City Council voted to deny a tag day request from the Little City Group upon a recommendation from the License committee. The chairman of the committee, Alderman Wieser, said the grqifp was already soliciting funds in McHenry via a mail cam­ paign. The Council also voted to purchase a half-ton truck and a matt mower for the public works department. n c n P * T D A ! ! CUTBACK SUPPORT (Continued frompage 1) for the first portion of the work. The federal govern­ ment is slated to supply money for 85 percent of the. cost. The project would be , accomplished in three steps. The first, the planning stage, calls for the expenditure of $160,000 and the other two, a total of $1 million. Member Edward Buss of McHenry contended that the contract should remain in the county. James Rakow, a member of the Selection committee, expressed his' opinion that Baxter & Woodman, which serves the, City of McHenry among others, could handle the job but admitted he had gone along on the Lombardo vote for the sake of unity. Member Thomas Huemann of Johnsburg noted that not another system of this kind had been put into operation in the entire country. "We're a guinea pig for the plan", he concluded. After further discussion,- the matter was held over until next month. In zoning matters, ap­ proval was given to a request for an amendment to the county zoning ordinance affecting property consisting of about 18 acres with frontage on Wonder Lake road. With this action the acreage has been changed from "A-l" Agriculture district to "E-2" Estate district.. The property is located just north of the Rt. 120-Wonder Lake road in­ tersection. Huemann, who heads the Transportation committee, urged board members to "protect your own interests" and to take RTA tran­ sportation # to the NIPC hearing June 19, at which time some decision on FAP , 420 highway was expected. A resolution concerning FAP 420 in its relation to the year 2000 Transportation System Development plan was passed. The resolution asks that it be constructed as a full access controlled roadway with a limited number of access points; that it be constructed in the accepted FAP 420 alignment subject to successful resolution of the environmental impacts of routing the road through the bog areas between the Lake-McHenry county border; and that the design standard, including the number of lanes to be spurgeon's Reg. 6.00 and up Entire Stock 25%«" ONLY *9" RENTAL • NO installation charge • NEW fully automatic softeners • TWO year option to buy with • FULL rental fee deducted • ONE phone call can answer any questions 312-259-3393 initially constructed, will be based upon the results of further research primarily to be done during the McHenry county sub- regional transportation study. / County Clerk Rosemary Azzaro responded to a comment by member A.B. McConnell concerning confusion as to polling places for the various school elections in April. Ms. Azzaro said the first election after the new consolidation of election laws goes hito effect held April 1 of Thereafter, she said, there will be only five elections every three years, whic ' should clarify the situation. It was disclosed that a recent change calls for tax bills to be seftt out about the middle of July, with both payments due Sept. 2. Approval of the Finance & Salaries committee report calls for a contract between the Johnsburg high school and the McHenry County CETA for a training program in the amount of $24,218. The report also calls for a resolution establishing a waiver on the part of the county to receive a $25,716 grant for a project called Intensive Intervention: Truancy and Dropouts. Action favors McHenry High School District 156, which has applied for a grant for similar purposes. The report of the Audit & Court Services committee was accepted. It included an explanation by Judge Cowlin on the procedure of the ten judges of the Circuit court who seek applications for the Public Defender's position. They interview each ap­ plicant and vote on the replacement.. The county board recommends the salary which, by state statute, is set at no less than 20 percent of what the state's attorney receives and no more than 80 percent of what the state's attorney receives. His recommendation to the County board was for authorization of a salary of the current public defender at $31,320. Pretty Dairy princess candidates were present to distribute milk and other dairy products to the board members. PAGE 17-PLA1NDEALER-FRIDAY. JUNES*.
