PAGE 22 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1.1981 MUSIN' AND ACCEPT CITY LAND USE PLAN (Continued from page 1) tensive, particularly for this area of the city. When asked for an opinion on the matter. City Attorney Bernard Narusis said the city could go either light commercial or business zoning; that it was a "fundamental policy decision" of the council. * A Narusis said the state statute gives the land use plan nothing more than advisory status. "I think the court (Appellate) was 100 percent wrong in the Concerned Citizens of McHenry case, in my opinion," Narusis commented. "Any action you take may invite litigation, but this is not a zoning map and it does not coincide with the zoning of the city. Alderman George Harker said he could not see where anyone would be hurt if the council would put a limit on the commercial activity allowed along the highway and was adamant in his stance that thearea should be sales tax producing. Wieser reiterated his position that the council should keep only the designation that is in the Zoning or­ dinance on the land use plan. "I would like to avoid litigation in the future." the alderman said. "We can change the map at any time." Narusis explained, "A great deal of the problems have been created by fuzzy and lousy court decisions which seemed to imply that planning is zoning. I don't think you have to have a definition of light commerical in the Zoning ordinance in order to use it on the planning map." Stanek noted that if someone wanted to improve the buffer area with something other than single family residential the way was still open via the ZBA and variation proceedings Alderman Wieser made a motion to override the veto, which was defeated, 6 to l If the veto had been overridden, the plan would have been adopted as it was at the council meeting two weeks ago. Wieser then moved to accept the plan with the amendments that the east side of S. Route 31 remain residential from High street north; south of High street be split into commercial along the high­ way and the remainder "R-3" single family residential; a 40-acre area north of McHenry which was designated multifamily returned to single family and the elimination of a small com­ mercial area nn RinownnH rnari Voting in favor werfj Aldermen Meurer. Schooley, Adams, Wieser, Datz. Harker and Mayor Stanek. Voting against was Alderman Nolan. Alder­ man Pepping was absent. In other business, the council voted unanimously to award a bid for the drilling of well No. 7 to McHenry County Well and Pump at a cost of $14,742. The city will be looking into the possible use of propane gas in city vehicles as a means of saving money and prolonging the life of the vehicles MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) shouldn't have been in the race unless he wanted to improve the government he hoped to serve. Is the problem of receiving less votes than somebody else reason to classify anyone as a loser? Not at all Someone worth holding office will find any number of ways to serve, even though he may not be drawing a salary. That's the kind of service that is noticed, and there is always another election down the way.. The ballot April 7 will also include a referendum It will ask voters to sup­ port an increase in the educational tax rate of our elementary school district. Someone certainly must have voiced the opinion that this is an unpopular request in a period of economic hard­ ship But today's Public Pulse column carries several letters supporting the issue from senior citizens, the age category usually blamed for defeating these increases It's a well known fact that people opposed, regardless of age. say little; they just go to the polls in great numbers. The result of the referendum will determine the school standards in McHenry for some time to come Someone might suggest that Education can get along without art, music, home economics, and a number of other offerings that have been cut. Someone might also suggest that personally we could do without the televisions, stereo sets, washer-dryers, and a whole lot more that we consider necessary to daily life in 1981 Standards of living have continued to rise for all of us and we are content Only when those standards cost us money without tangible evidence of benefit, or fail to make our personal life more enjoyable, do we raise our voices in protest Something to remember when we go to the polls next Tuesday! KAF Man Injured In Crash Best Of Class A McHenry man was injured early Sunday morning in a one-car accident on Pioneer road, north of McHenry. According to McHenry County Sheriff's police, an auto driven by George M Haze, of 4708 Williams, McHenry, left the roadway, struck and snapped a utility pole, spun and con­ tinued 300 feet into a field. Haze was northbound and lost control of the vehicle, the report said The driver was transported to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue squad McHenry police cited -John D. Srok*, of 1924 Orchard Beach, McHenry, after the car he was driving struck a parked vehicle on Riverside drive last week. Sroka told police he was heading south on Riverside drive when he looked down at the radio. When he looked up, Sroka continued, the other car was "right there," the report said. The parked car belonged to Ronald E. Conway, of 1607 N. Riverside drive, McHenry. In an unrelated accident, McHenry police also ticketed Mark D. Wagner, of 418 Mineral Springs, McHenry, for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after the vehicle he was driving ran into the rear of an auto on Front street. The auto, driven by Anne M. Hart- man. of 480B Prairie, McHenry. had stopped to make a left turn, when the collision occurred, according to the police report. Wagner told police he braked and attempted to swerve when he saw that the Hartman vehicle had stopped. Recycling Day April 4 This Saturday, April 4, is scheduled as one of the regular recycling drives now being held twice a month in the City of McHenry. They are held in the southeast corner of the McHenry Market Place from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on the first and third Saturdays These are shorter hours now that they are held twice a month. Two church groups, the McHenry County Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and the Congregational llniversalist church will be working along with the McHenry County Defenders this Saturday. They will be on hand to help unload cars, provide twine to those desiring it, and move the properly prepared material along on the next step toward reuse. The aluminum pay-back program, begun last month on the first Saturday, w ill be in effect again this Saturday and will continue to be in effect on the first Saturday of every month. Over 50 lbs. of aluminum was donated to the groups working on the drive last month and an additional 2,000 lbs. were brought in for pay-back. It is hoped that those people bringing in aluminum for pay-back will bring along with them any bundles of newspaper, corrugated cardboard, clean glass bottles and jar and clean flattened steel cans with the labels removed. In so doing citizens not only help conserve our natural resources, but they also help save space in diminishing landfills by cutting down on the amount of trash pick-up that is necessary. At the same time they are helping the individuals working on the drives earn funds for the groups they represent Labels from various products are also being collected at the drives for Pioneer center. A letter has recently been received from the Defenders, acknowledging this drop-off. They have used the labels brought in to purchase physical education equipment for the center. Anyone having questions regarding the recycling of any products may call 385-8512 before Friday evening.
