The ceremony Forget Traffic Light Dilemma In Highland Shores By Kurt Begalka •HAW MM mm tmvtct In the unincorporated subdivision of Highland Shores, the green light remains to be given for a particular pair of stop signs at the intersection of Sunset drive and Lake Vista lane. Although the Highland Shores Property Owners association legal council has expressed an opinion that it is within the board's power to pay for and install signs, the question of enforcement remains. Larry Hay, Greenwood township highway com­ missioner, believes the county probably won't recognize the signs as being legal. There is also some question whether McHenry County Sheriff Hank Nulle will ticket drivers violating the signs. At the Highland Shores meeting Nov. 17, residents said they had talked to the sheriff about enforcement and received both a yes and no answer. Association President Paul Swetland, said the matter would be clarified, but no word has been received as yet. Nulle claims he never was contacted about the stop signs. But he added the subdivisions can request police enforcement, if the signs are legal. Nulle said he would look into the matter and get a legal opinion from the state's attorney. C r a i g P f a n n k u c h e , spokesman for the Highland Shores board, said that since the board has no deeds of ownership in its possession for the land beneath the roads, the question of ownership also is unsettled. According to Pfannkuche, the "roads" first were built in 1954. Actually, they were paths bulldozed out of the h i l l s a n d c o v e r e d w i t h gravel, he added. The d e v e l o p e r , L a d d E n ­ terprises, was under no legal obligation at that time to build the roads in accord with township regulations. "It would cost the sub­ division about a $1.5 million to bring the roads up to specifications," Pfannkuche said. That is necessary before the county will even c o n s i d e r a s s u m i n g ownership and maintenance. However, the longer the board waits the greater the deterioration, and the greater the amount of money needed to make repairs "We're like chickens with our heads cut off," Pfan nkuchesaid. "We don't know which way to turn." McHenry County traffic engineer Tom Brink said many of the toads aren't too bad. He believes by straightening culverts and clearing ditches, a sub­ division road such as Acorn path would be acceptable. "Six inches of gravel and some culvert work, and it (Acorn) would be up to snuff," he added. The hitch is, the gravel alone would cost $3,000, Brink said. That's tough for a sub­ division which is prohibited by its bylaws and deeds from having a road fund. Ac­ cording to Pfannkuche, the subdivision is on its own; caught in a big "catch 22." All repairs must be nade from the Highland Shores general fund, supported by dues from property owners. The dues are scheduled to be raised from $25 to $40 a year Jan. ! 1. Pfannkuche estimated this will raise about $24,000. H believi tuck er, Pfannkuche still it will be nip and What we are is a tax, and has only meager equipment at its disposal Highland Shores owns one plow, one grader and a front loader. "We've become experts with tape and baling wire," Pfannkuche said. Swetland said the purpose behind the signs is twofold: to slow down traffic in summer and winter, and to reduce the intersection's history of accidents. is open to the public, and former students and officials of the school are encouraged to attend to help identify old class pictures taken the early part of this century. The closing of Cold Springs school in 1946, like the closings of the 100 or so other one-room schools in McHenry county during the 1940 s, 50's and 60's, signified the end of a pioneering era in local educational history. The plaque to be placed on the Cold Springs School is t h e s o c i e t y ' s f i f t h t o a recognized historical site in this county in an attempt to encourage and honor local preservation and restoration e f f o r t s .
