The groundwork for the mediately. The target date for construction is in July, with completion slated for eight months. Don Doherty noted that, in I960, there was a group seeking to establish a Rama da Inn in downtown McHenry. But the group went into bankruptcy and the site became the Green Street parking lot. In another IRB matter, the council unanimously approved a request for $500,000 from John Miesen, owner of Alpha Plastics. The firm sought IRBs last year, but the plans were put on the back burner because of the Rostenkowski bill which put a cap on the amount of bonds a city could issue.

The developer of the project is John Tyshenko, who owns a resort motel facility in Lake Geneva, Wis. According to EDC representative Daniel Curran, the project will be located on 42 acres just south of Northern Illinois Medical Center (NIMC) on the same side of Route 31.

Rt. 31 shppping plaza planned By Anthony Oliver r Herald staff writer McHenry may soon see a 20- acre shopping plaza on the north side of town if the city fathers take the advice of the McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). Recently, a petition was brought concerning a planned- shopping plaza at the in­ tersection of McCullom Lake Road and Route 31 on the east side of the road. The petitioners, < Phillip Grossman, Edward Neumann and Scott Jacobs, are seeking variations to allow more than one building on a lot and fewer parking spaces required for restaurants. * The overall development is centered around two large nationally-known retailers, one a food store and the other a mass merchandiser. There are ad­ ditional smaller stores planned and three out-buildings which are the subject of the variation. Jacobs said perhaps a financial institution or restaurants were envisioned for the three free-standing buildings, but no commitments had been made. ZBA member Robert Jessup asked whether the developers had commitments from the two major tenants. Jacobs responded that negotiations were underway the two companies and should be concluded in about 45 days. .v "If they don't go, we probably won't build," Jacobs said. A traffic consultant, Willard Alroth, commented that access to the site would be two major driveways from Route 31, which is slated for widening and resurfacing by the state, and off an extension of McCullom Lake Road to the east. Alroth said studies indicated that most of the traffic (57 percent) would come from the south and north (33 percent).

The McHenry City Council could do no more. After three votes concerning the McHenry Sand and Gravel petition Monday night, the city will not be represented at the county Zoning Board of Appeals hearing Jidy 12-13. Mayor William Busse was called upon to break a tie during a vote to take no position on the petition at the county hearing. An advocate of this action. Aid. William Bolger (1st) said he did not think taxpayers' money should be spent taking any stand at the hearing. The motion to take no position was defeated 5-4, with Busse casting the deciding vote. Voting in favor were Aldermen Bolger, Nolan, McClatchey and Smith. Voting against were Aldermen Teta, Lieder, Snell, Serritella and Busse. Prior to this action, the council also considered an amendment to the motion proposed by Teta. His amend­ ment indicated the reason for not taking a position was that the council only had about two weeks to consider the petition and did not have the input of the local plan commission and ZBA. Neither of those advisory bodies have direct jursidiction since this is a county ZBA matter. /Bolger commented that he did not want to see the city zoning board pitted against the county zoning board, particularly since there was a great deal of other business facing the city. The amendment to the motion to take no position was defeated 2-6. Aldermen Teta and Serritella cast the votes in favor. That left only two possible courses of action. Aid. Gary Lieder (2nd) moved to have the mayor represent the city at the county hearing as being opposed to the expansion of the pit. Lieder said the parties con­ cerned could work together to solve the problems, but noted it would take time. The motion was defeated 3-5. Voting in favor were the staunch opponents to the petition, Aldermen Lieder, Teta and Serritella. Voting against were Aldermen Bolger, Nolan, Smith, McClatchey and Snell.
