    McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission 1999 ANNUAL REPORTS McHENRY COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION FY 1998-1999 ANNUAL REPORT OVERVIEW Development in McHenry County continues. Rural subdivisions and land expansion by municipalities hold the potential for continued loss of historic structures and scenic rural vistas. In light of development trends, the McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission is committed to creating a balanced perspective for the County, to help preserve that which is best and to support a county-wide coordinated effort to identify and protect valuable sites and structures before development encroaches upon them. I. Cases Reviewed In fiscal year 1998-1999 the Commission had no cause to review any Certificates of Appropriateness. No Certificates of Economic Hardship were issued. II. Designations (See Appendix A.) In fiscal year 1997-98 the Commission held two (2) public hearings for local land­ mark designations: • #HP 99-01: Woodstock Street, Huntley, Illinois, was formally designated 1 McHenry County's fourteenth local landmark on the 16 h of February 1999 by a unanimous vote of the County Board.
