2. Proclamation – Woodstock Theatre 90th Anniversary Mayor Sager noted many have noticed the transformation of the Woodstock Theatre throughout the decades, including since it became a Classic Cinemas theater giving patrons the opportunity to view first-run movies in Woodstock. He stated Classic Cinemas is celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Woodstock Theatre with many events this week.
Without objection, the City Council accepted and approved a Proclamation Honoring Classic Cinemas – 90th Anniversary of the Woodstock Theatre. Mayor Sager read the following proclamation and presented it to Theatre Manager Mike Wozny and noted it will also be read and presented at the theater’s special event on Wednesday.
PROCLAMATION HONORING CLASSIC CINEMAS 90th Anniversary of the Woodstock Theatre
WHEREAS, Woodstock Illinois is a city where creativity and imagination are embraced and cinematic arts are intensely enjoyed and appreciated; and
WHEREAS, an early indication of our community’s support for cinematic entertainment occurred on November 8, 1927 when John Miller opened the new Miller Theatre on Main Street in downtown Woodstock; and
WHEREAS, community leaders continued the tradition of providing citizens with film-going opportunities when, on May 16, 1980, Bill Freund, Virgil Smith, Don Peasley and Alan Cornue re-opened the Miller Theatre as the Woodstock Theatre; and
WHEREAS, with tremendous benefit to the residents of Woodstock on October 7, 1988 Classic Cinemas assumed ongoing operation of the Woodstock Theatre and, in a wonderful gesture of community goodwill, invested its faith and resources in 2013 to renovate and expand the Woodstock Theatre to offer eight auditoriums of movie magic, complete with state of the art technology, and loving attention to the building’s architectural historic past, including restoration Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 4 of 29 of the theatre’s main auditorium and its beautiful original dome now named in honor of Groundhog Day director and Woodstock fan Harold Ramis; and
WHEREAS, on November 8, 2017, the Woodstock Theatre celebrates its 90th Anniversary as a movie theatre in Woodstock Illinois, with a 90-cent popcorn and soda party at the theatre, followed on November 11 and 12 with 10:00 am showings of the First Academy Award Winning Movie Wings with an admission of only 90 cents, once more demonstrating the venue’s pivotal role as a beloved part of the Woodstock community; and
WHEREAS, Classic Cinemas has been a true Corporate Citizen by enthusiastically and financially supporting the economic, historical and cultural values of our community through their investment in the theatre, as well as The Woodstock on Film and on the Stage Mural.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the City Council of the City of Woodstock, on behalf of all citizens of Woodstock, offers our heartfelt gratitude for the Woodstock Theatre, and for Classic Cinemas Owners Willis, Shirley and Chris Johnson, Marketing Manager Mark Mazrimas and Woodstock Theatre Manager Mike Wozny for ensuring the Woodstock Theatre continues to be the site of memorable movie experiences, yesterday, today, and for decades to come and awards them with a Key to the City in recognition of their well-deserved place as Citizens of Woodstock.
APPROVED and ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Woodstock, McHenry County, this 7th day of November, 2017.
B. PUBLIC HEARING – Irving Road Truck Restrictions Mayor Sager explained Irving Avenue was not constructed with standards for heavy truck traffic, which presents a challenge for maintenance and having trucks on a City street. He noted the purpose of this Public Hearing is to open the question of placing weight restrictions on Irving Avenue.
Mayor Sager opened the Public Hearing at 7:24 PM for public comment.
Greg Windler, 437 Pleasant, stated this is a residential street, which was built on soft ground, that makes up this entire low-lying area. He stated this will require a lot of fill dirt and re-routing, noting the fill will cost a lot of taxpayers’ dollars. He asked Council to put the money toward something else and make the trucks go around, noting he supports weight restrictions on Irving Avenue.
Motion by M. Turner, second by M. Larson, to close the Public Hearing.
A roll call vote was taken. Ayes: D. Hart, M. Larson, J. Prindiville, G. Tebo, M. Turner, and Mayor Sager. Nays: none. Abstentions: none. Absentees: M. Saladin. Motion carried. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:27 PM.
Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 5 of 29
C. PRESENTATION – Transmittal of FY16/17 Audit Report A representative from the City’s auditor, Sikich, reported on the annual audit report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017, thanking City Staff for their assistance. He called attention to the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) highlighting the independent audit report. He stated the auditors once again issued an unmodified opinion, which is the highest level that can be provided.
In response to a question from Councilman Prindiville, the representative stated the statement in the Management Letter, which indicates the City is not in the 90th percentile for water billed to pumped, indicates the City has water losses greater than 10%. He stated the City is in the 70th percentile which is common for a community with an infrastructure of a certain age, noting it is actually a little above the standards for older communities.
Councilman Prindiville commented on the City’s strategy of reducing water losses are a result of under-metering, asking the representative if he agreed. The representative stated it could be because the meters are older or because of leaks in the system, but noted he is not an expert on the subject.
Mayor Sager stated the City has had made an aggressive effort to replace the meters recognizing this is an issue and noted the City is also addressing the area of leaks in the infrastructure.
Citing an article in the Chicago Tribune, Councilman Prindiville wondered if the City needs to pursue new technology to detect leaks. Mayor Sager stated the City has been doing this and will continue to do so as it moves through the development of the annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
D. FLOOR DISCUSSION
Public Comment Josh Arnow, 15218 Rose Farm Road, stated he has been a resident of Woodstock for 17 years, is a business owner, PADS supporter, sits on the CVB board, and works with Real Woodstock and Visit McHenry County. He stated he has invested a lot in Woodstock over the past six years, opening the Bike Haven on the Square and emphasized he is invested in the community and loves Woodstock.
Mr. Arnow stated he does not love what is going on, however, noting he has people coming into his store begging for money, using his store as a restroom and leaving alcohol bottles behind his store. He noted the November 20th City Council Workshop scheduled to discuss this problem is being held at a time that is not convenient for those who work and asked what is going to be discussed.
Mr. Arnow opined the day center is in a poor location and is a burden on the City, with Police and ambulance services being expended regularly with the Police now having to enforce the bench ordinance, all of which costs money. He opined these are not Woodstock residents and that Crystal Lake and McHenry do not have this problem. Mr. Arnow expressed his concern for the children, which must walk through this area. Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 6 of 29
Mr. Arnow requested this be placed on a future Council Agenda noting he wished to know when it will be addressed at a time when everyone can attend.
Mayor Sager expressed his appreciation for Mr. Arnow’s comments noting this issue is a huge challenge. He stated Woodstock is the County seat, which results in an influx of homeless persons because the court system and many social service agencies are located here.
Mayor Sager acknowledged the location of the Old Fire House Assistance Center is not ideal, stating he is working with other communities to find another location and the finances to move the center, noting expenses are high and resources are low. He stated he does not deny the problems and noted 95% of the problems are created by 5% of the people. He stated 30 people have been placed in permanent homes through the Center, which does not negate the significant problems.
Mayor Sager stated the City has tried to pass ordinances in accordance with the Homeless Bill of Rights, which most people do not know exists. He stated the City has also tried to hold people accountable for illegal activity, noting the Police Department is doing a yeoman’s job in difficult circumstances. Mayor Sager noted the homeless issue is huge, stating the State of Illinois has eliminated many of the mental health facilities and is not funding many social service organizations. He also noted drug and alcohol problems have increased, stating all of this is happening here in McHenry County.
Mayor Sager stated there is a workshop session scheduled for next Wednesday at Stage Left Cafe for service providers and agencies to let them know what is happening with Woodstock’s businesses and to enlist their help. He stated following this, on November 20th, the City Council is having a workshop in the Council Chambers to address this issue. He invited those present to attend these sessions.
He noted the City is trying to do everything possible within the law. He stated the City is limited in assisting social services, but not police and fire rescue protection. He explained the City leases the building to the Housing Authority, which operates the facility and has put money into it. He explained how the facility is managed by McHenry County Housing Authority, which brings in grant money for the facility.
Mayor Sager stated he shares the concerns expressed and assured those presents there will be additional meetings.
Councilman Turner stated this is an issue that occupies staff time and is annoying to residents. He stated the natural reaction is to shut it down, which he views as an option, but must also understand the consequences. He opined the City must be bolder in its actions and do more in managing behaviors.
A resident noted this is a non-testing center where people can come in who are intoxicated or on drugs. Mayor Sager stated this will be part of the discussion, noting the Center has tried to get help for people with substance abuse problems.
Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 7 of 29
Councilman Turner stated people say they should be fined, but noted this has not worked. He noted the City has also looked at garnishing any assets, but hit a brick wall with this effort. He stated Council is frustrated also and has been trying to do things within the law without creating more unintended consequences.
Gary Grana, 319 Dean Street, stated Arlington Heights had a homeless problem, but when it interfered with businesses it was stopped. He opined Woodstock must protect its businesses.
Mayor Sager stated businesses are encouraged to call the Police if there are issues.
Lydia Baltalbols, 621 Dean Street, noted the date on the agenda at the Library for the Council meeting was October 17, 2017.
Ms. Baltalbols stated there was water running down Dean Street for 30 days, opining it should have been taken care of immediately. She opined it would be a good idea for the City Council to meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays and the District 200 School Board to meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays so people could go to both meetings.
Ms. Baltalbols stated she has a lot of questions about the Dean Street School situation concerning funding and opining this is a “shell game.”
In response to a question from Ms. Baltalbols concerning funding of the Lake/South/Madison roundabout, City Manager Stelford stated this area is in the TIF, but the City Administration is not proposing allocating TIF money to fund this project. Ms. Baltalbols stated TIF money takes money away from District 200 and stated if TIF money is being used for this, she would like it to be discussed and asked if there was a public meeting that authorized this, and can it be stopped.
Ms. Baltalbols stated there are a lot of people present for a specific purpose and knows that a formal request was made to have this discussion as a separate item and not as part of the consent agenda, noting it has fortunately been removed.
Mayor Sager noted all items on the Consent Agenda are those being considered for action while all other items are for discussion only with no action considered. He stated any resident has the right to petition the Council for a specific item to be removed from the Consent Agenda.
Gwen Wormley, 851 Dakota, asked to return to the topic of the shelter. In response to her questions, Mr. Stelford stated the building is leased to McHenry County Housing Authority rent- free with the Housing Authority paying for internet and phone, the City paying for water, and there being no charge for gas or electric through an agreement with ComEd and Nicor for public buildings.
In response to further questioning from Ms. Wormley, Mayor Sager stated the lease has an early termination provision, noting the City is working with service providers to discuss options. He noted all would like to see a more permanent location in a more appropriate area. He stated the County has approved some money for this Center, but noted it is not enough, opining this is a larger discussion than just Woodstock. Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 8 of 29
Mayor Sager noted the townships are legally responsible for public assistance in Illinois, but noted it is the City’s responsibility in that these individuals are here. He stated it is the responsibility of all of the agencies and governmental bodies, noting Woodstock is part of a group trying to find a solution.
In response to a question from Ms. Wormley, Mayor Sager stated the City Manager, Police Chief, and he have met and continue to meet with representatives of the Housing Authority. He noted the Housing Authority has data on who is coming to the facility.
Ms. Wormley noted this is needed, but opined there must be a plan and a goal as to why the City is doing this.
Mayor Sager talked about some of the challenges, noting the City is trying to solicit support from service providers and churches and trying to work with businesses to put cameras in place for prosecution purposes. In response to Ms. Wormley’s question, he opined the City has not created a problem, but rather the problem has grown as a result of things alluded to previously.
Councilman Turner expressed agreement there must be a goal. He noted the public does not see the story of the 30 who have received housing, but rather sees the problems and agreed things must change. Mayor Sager agreed.
Councilman Hart opined it is important to find answers to the question of breathalyzing, noting this is a problem and was a problem a year ago. He stated as a businessperson he always calls the Police when a problem arises.
In response to a question, Mayor Sager stated placement of the 30 people in permanent housing was a direct result of OFAC.
Councilwoman Larson stated the presence of the Center gives the City more weight when prosecuting court cases. City Attorney Schlossberg talked about the legal rights of the homeless and what the City can and cannot do in some cases, noting the City must make sure it does not violate their civil rights. She stated one thing that must be done is to give them options of which OFAC is one. She noted this is a difficult issue as the City is looking at individuals with civil rights that must be balanced with residents’ rights.
Ms. Wormley urged the City to be aggressive.
Joe Canup, Case Manager for New Life Transitions, stated he works with many service provides to come up with answers. He noted of the 370 homeless individuals in McHenry, 10 have had police interaction. He stated 360 of these people have fallen on hard times.
The speaker talked about the law passed last month regarding open containers, opining it will have a positive effect and discussed the wonderful job Sue Rose of the Housing Authority has done at the Center. He noted the homeless were here before OFAC, stating the arrests and Police contact was made in other areas, including the Square. Noting one of the homeless individuals got a job Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 9 of 29 today, he urged people to help by creating a job, donating time, or providing transportation to a job. He opined this is what a community is about.
Danielle Gulli, Woodstock Chamber of Commerce, stated the Chamber is actively working with the City to address this problem. She stated a year ago the problem was within the Square, noting now the problem has moved off the Square as a result of efforts to remove them from that area. She stated a year ago she was in the “shut it down” camp, but now realizes people are one step away from this situation and need compassion. She stated a small handful of people are causing the problems and noted the presence of the facility allows the City to be more aggressive in its policies. She urged everyone to help the situation giving examples of how and invited them to call the Chamber if they are uncomfortable.
Maggie Buchar, 1424 Fox Sedge, proposed an ordinance to allow a limited number of backyard hens in non-agricultural areas. She asked that this be placed on a future agenda for discussion and consideration, noting she has provided Council with information and research. She stated she would like to allow six backyard hens, no roosters, on single-family parcels, with no slaughtering, the prohibition of the sale of eggs, and registration required. She talked about some of the other regulations, including for structures. She noted many communities are allowing this, stating people want this for many reasons including sustainability, better eggs, and youth education concerning food production and responsibility.
Mayor Sager noted he wrote the animal-control ordinance years ago stating there are many reasons chickens are prohibited. He talked about variations to the ordinance that were allowed some years ago and the problems these created. He stated he will be happy to talk with Ms. Buchar about this, but opined it will be an up-hill battle. He invited her to sit down with him and discuss this. Councilman Prindiville expressed agreement with Mayor Sager, noting his surprise at the resistance to this proposal.
In response to a question from the public, Mayor Sager stated the reasons expressed for opposition to this proposal in the past have included odors, rodents, and noise.
Larry Ferranrini, noted he formerly organized Pedal for PADS, a fundraiser for PADS. While he empathizes with the homeless issues, he expressed concerns that OFAC does not breathalyze and with the deterioration of the City. He noted the Kishwaukee PADS site breathalyzes and opined people must be rehabilitated for this to be successful.
In response to a question from the speaker, Mayor Sager stated OFAC is run by McHenry County Housing Authority and other social service agencies.
The speaker noted his concerns with the added expense for police services and the time and expense for ambulance services to take these individuals to Huntley or McHenry. He stated he would volunteer time and would employ these people if he knew there was a clear-cut direction for this facility, opining until there is it should be shut down.
Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 10 of 29
Previous speaker Joe Canup stated many of these programs are grant-based through HUD. He stated the Kishwaukee PADS facility and the church sites no longer breathalyze because the grants stipulate they cannot do so.
Michelle Tucsek, 1266 Tara Drive, opined everyone needs to help the homeless. She described her experience in reaching out to a homeless veteran in Woodstock, noting he is a person, someone’s father and someone’s son. She noted a lot of people are frightened by the homeless, but they are just people and urged everyone to reach out to help.
In response to a question from the public, Mayor Sager stated bags are checked when individuals enter OFAC. Mayor Sager expressed his appreciation for the dialog and invited all to participate in the roundtable and Council Workshop.
Councilman Tebo noted he spent a few hours at the Center and was amazed at the good it does. He urged everyone to visit there and see for themselves what is going on. He stated he realizes there is a problem, noting this will be resolved with everyone working together.
Council Comment There were no Council comments forthcoming.
CONSENT AGENDA
Motion by M. Larson, second by M. Turner, to approve the Consent Agenda.
The following items were removed from the Consent Agenda at the request of Council members:
Item H-1 – Ordinance – Benton Street Block Party by Councilman D. Hart Item H-2 - Ordinance – Special Use Permit – 344 Fremont Street by Councilman J. Prindiville
Mayor Sager asked if any members of the Council or members of the Public had any questions on those items remaining on the Consent Agenda.
Item H-5 – Home Rule Sales Tax Amendment Councilman Prindiville stated he disagrees with this, opining it is the wrong idea, but since the majority of Council is in favor of a Home Rule Sales Tax, he supports this item because he believes the City must implement this tax correctly.
Mayor Sager asked if any members of the public had any questions on those items remaining on the Consent Agenda.
General Questions on Waiver of Competitive Bids Gwen Wormley asked about the waiver of competitive bids on Items 12 and 13. Mayor Sager stated there are State statutes which specify when the City must go out for competitive bids and provide for the ability to waive that requirement in certain situations such as awarding a bid to a specific contractor who has performed work on a City well to the City’s satisfaction or when there Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 11 of 29 is only a single provider for certain services. He stated it is appropriate and permitted by State statute that the requirement be waived in these cases. City Attorney Ruth Schlossberg confirmed Mayor Sager’s comments and noted the City Staff is always careful to document the reasons why it is recommended to waive the requirement for competitive bids, noting this information is available in the public documents.

Mayor Sager noted this is a request to approve the closure of North Benton Street from immediately south of the railroad tracks including the north side, or westbound lane) of East Judd Street between North Jefferson Street and North Benton Street with closures to begin at 7:00 AM on Wednesday, November 22, 2017 and re-opening at 10:00 AM on Friday, November 24, 2017.
Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 13 of 29
Motion by M. Turner, second by M. Larson, to approve the following: 1) Closure of North Benton Street from immediately south of the railroad tracks including the north side (westbound lane) of East Judd Street between North Jefferson Street and North Benton Street; 2) Street closures beginning at 7:00 AM on Wednesday, November 22, 2017 and re-opening at 10:00 AM on Friday, November 24, 2017; 3) Ordinance 17-O-96, identified as Document 1, An Ordinance Imposing Certain Temporary Traffic Restrictions and Parking Restrictions in the City of Woodstock for a Benton Street Event; 4) All approvals to remain conditional upon the original terms set forth within the Staff Report approved at the February 21, 2017 City Council meeting.
In response to a question from Councilman Tebo as to why removal of the tent and re-opening of the street was changed from Thursday to Friday, City Manager Stelford stated the vendor charges a great deal more to remove the tent on Thursday, which is a holiday. Noting the organizers would like to wait until Friday to remove the tent, which would be more cost effective, he stated the Square is not very busy on Thanksgiving, so this request should not create a problem.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion. Ayes: M. Larson, J. Prindiville, G. Tebo, M. Turner, and Mayor Sager. Nays: none. Abstentions: none. Absentees: D. Hart and M. Saladin. Motion carried.
Councilman D. Hart returned to the Council Chambers and rejoined the proceedings at 7:48 PM
Item H-2 - Ordinance – Special Use Permit – 344 Fremont Street Mayor Sager welcomed those who have come to discuss this item and stated it is important to understand a few things in preparation for that discussion.
He stated the item before the Council this evening has nothing to do with the liquor license as this has already been extended. He noted it is a very limited liquor license, which allows no bar or packaged sales, but rather is associated with food service and catering. He stated it could be associated with wedding receptions and a limited number of dinners and for the distribution of gift baskets in the Inn’s rooms for example. He again stated this is not the item before the City Council this evening.
Mayor Sager stated the item before the Council is the Special Use Permit (SUP). He stated a Special Use Permit already exists for this property, noting it was granted to previous owners to accommodate certain types of events or activities. He stated based upon the passion and interests of the new owners, George and Lori Miarecki, in the preparation of food at their bed and breakfast, they would like to have specialty indoor and outdoor events.
Mayor Sager stated the limits placed in the proposal on the indoor events are associated with fire safety and occupancy and are the limits already imposed and established by the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District and the City Code.
He stated one question this evening has to do with the opportunity to host events in the outdoor area, noting there have been other such opportunities in this neighborhood, including the artwalk Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 14 of 29 event. He stated the request is to allow that opportunity at the bed and breakfast.
Mayor Sager stated this request appropriately worked through the Plan Commission, noting that body was aware of potential concerns so they placed additional limits upon the petitioners, including a maximum of eight outdoor events per year with a maximum of 160 attendees and the requirement for off-site valet parking. He noted the Plan Commission put additional restrictions on the hours for these events stating they must conclude by 10:00 PM.
In response to a question from Councilman Tebo, J. Napolitano stated the original SUP was silent on outdoor events and did not specify indoor versus outdoor events.
Mayor Sager asked if the petitioners wished to make a statement.
George and Lori Miarecki, 344 Fremont Street and owners of The Cherry Tree Hill Bed and Breakfast, approached the podium.
Mr. Miarecki stated as part of their plan it was always intended to offer certain services without detracting from the neighborhood. He stated they are always open to discussion and the feelings of the community, noting they remain willing to work with the community now and in the future. He stated they would like to hear from the community.
Ms. Miarecki stated although there are a lot of people present this evening wearing buttons, she has invited everyone to come talk with them about the true nature of the business and noted only a handful have come to talk with her. She stated they spoke with everyone they could, including the Chamber of Commerce and other business people, to see what was wanted and needed in the community and based their business plan on those things. She stated they want to be good stewards of this historic home. Ms. Miarecki noted they have been asked to hold weddings and bridal showers at the Inn.
Ms. Miarecki asked to address the concerns and make sure everyone is happy and that they have a viable business to give back to the community.
Councilman Prindiville asked if this request for an amended Special Use Permit is approved, does it travel with the property. City Attorney Ruth Schlossberg stated the current SUP does travel with the property, but noted this could be modified by the City Council. Mayor Sager stated the SUP could be reconsidered at any time even though it does travel with the property.
Mayor Sager opened the floor to public comment.
Jack Walsdorf, formerly of 415 South Madison, stated he is a 30-year resident of Woodstock and noted his activities in the community. He stated this is a charming neighborhood, opining that charm is being exploited for commercial gain. He stated everyone has put a lot of work and expense into their homes and the neighborhood to add to and help create that charm.
Mr. Walsdorf expressed concern that this is changing from a bed and breakfast to a banquet hall and expressed concern about the parking problems, noise and cigarette smoke the events will Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 15 of 29 bring. He opined there could also be possible marijuana use. He stated the petitioners will have no control of the guest list with attendees having no regard for the neighborhood and no connection to Woodstock. He opined the events will jam the neighborhood streets, with the neighbors being unable to have family and friends visit at their homes. Mr. Walsdorf opined the concept could move to other areas in Woodstock.
Mr. Walsdorf stated the Gallery in the Garden and Fair Diddley are one-day events with plenty of advance notice.
He stated turning this proposal down will not provide a hardship to the petitioners, but approving it will provide a hardship to the neighbors. He stated Woodstock is not Lake Forest or Barrington Hills and opined the proposal does not deserve approval.
Kim Sites stated she was thrilled the Groundhog House was purchased and wants it to continue as a bed and breakfast. She expressed concern about noise, noting her father calculated that the decibel level at her home will be 88 should there be a quartet at an event at the Inn.
She opined the proposal will change the quiet, safe character of the neighborhood and expressed concern about noise from music at the 14 events per year, cigarette butts on the streets, how the streets will handle the increased traffic, how the parking will affect the traffic patterns, what will happen if the residents wish to have parties, how property values will be affected, how this will affect the sewer system, the smell and look of the portable toilets, and the effect on the Police Department’s main thoroughfare.
Ms. Sites opined there are currently spaces on the Square and the Opera House that provide this function and asked Council to make a wise choice for the neighborhood and its families.
In response to a question from Jack Walsdorf regarding the licensing requirement for Bed and Breakfasts, Mayor Sager stated this will be addressed, but a license cannot be issued unless a Special Use Permit is forthcoming. City Attorney Ruth Schlossberg stated the Special Use Permit is a zoning issue while licensing is an administrative permit that would be considered after the SUP.
Allen Stebbins, 508 Dean Street, provided information on how the bed and breakfast Special Use Permit came about when Dean Street residents were opposed to a proposed B&B on that street. He noted the SUP process and B&B ordinance spell out where a B&B is appropriate and noted a petitioner must have a Special Use Permit before a license can be issued, stating the zoning is affected by the Special Use.
Mr. Stebbins asked what this is now – a B&B or an event facility – and noted the petitioners must comply with Chapter 14 of the City Code. Mayor Sager stated a Special Use Permit has already been issued that goes with the property. He stated licensing is an administrative function that is based upon the SUP, noting the item before the City Council is a variance of the SUP.
Jill Hunt, 450 Fremont, stated it is important to have an open discussion about the concerns with this proposal, noting she has always loved the Groundhog House and always has wondered why Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 16 of 29 no one capitalized on this opportunity. She stated there are now people who want to market this worldwide and opined this is exciting and will bring more tourists who can go to events on the Square and then back to the B&B. She asked Council to remember this is a family home and not in a business district and opined events of this size are better suited to the Square, noting this neighborhood is not part of the Square.
Ms. Hunt stated she is also trying to be a good steward of her home. She noted she was never talked to about this proposal and expressed her feeling there needs to be a dialog. She stated there is a really big difference between a B&B and an event space.
Ms. Hunt opined this process should be done very slowly with open dialogue and the neighboring home owners having a say in what is happening in the neighborhood. She expressed support of events on a smaller scale with no evening events.
Norm Siegel, 207 Fremont, expressed concerns about parking issues and noise that will arise from this proposal and the possible negative effect it will have on the beautiful homes on Fremont. He expressed agreement that the size of the events should be curtailed and asked Council not to allow outdoor events with music.
Joseph Walsdorf, 1135 Donegal Court, talked about the requirements for approval of a Special Use Permit. Noting Madison Street is home to a huge group of kids who should be able to ride their bikes down the street, he stated he was speaking for the youth of the neighborhood, noting they should not be confined to their homes because of a big event.
He talked about some of the negative things neighborhood kids will be exposed to with these events, stating he does not want the kids to have to stay home because a party house is at the end of the street.
Alissa Bach, 657 Silver Creek, stated she grew up on Madison Street and noted her parents still live there. She opined it does not matter how responsible the property owners plan to be, they cannot control the actions of others when they are at a party and opined there will be people drinking at the events and driving.
Valerie Deegan-Johnson, 458 Lake Avenue, asked people to look at the demographics of the people who will be attending these events, opining they will be 40 to 50 years old. Regarding noise, she noted the noise from other sources including the train tracks, the Red Mill, and the Square with no complaints and stated there is outdoor music at the artfair with no complaints. She opined the petitioners are not going to have stage lights and concerts, but rather small music at lower decibel levels. She stated she assumes they wish to provide a safe environment.
She stated she respects people’s concerns about parking and noted there is already parking on only one side of Madison Street. Noting people’s complaints of the idea of a shuttle going down the street, she stated there are already Pace buses and school buses on the street.
Ms. Deegan-Johnson opined this is being blown out of proportion and stated people are not thinking logically. Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 17 of 29
John Cole, Lawndale, expressed concern with the process, opining the feeling this is being rushed. He also expressed concern about the possible lack of a security plan, the need for portable toilets, noise from the events, and parking problems on Lawndale. He asked what would happen if there is a fire or emergency and an emergency vehicle needs to get down the street, asking if the Fire Code has been looked at. He also expressed concern about whether the kitchen can pass code as the proposal includes catering.
Mr. Cole stated this used to be a family home, which is now a business with all this being done so someone can make money.
He stated parties people have in their homes do not include amplified music, do not result in any problems and do not have music until 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM with children trying to sleep.
Mr. Cole then expressed concern about violence from the service of alcohol at the events when a neighbor may get angry with an event-goer who has been drinking, indicating severe consequences including the possibility of a shooting and death.
He stated he would not mind a small wedding at the Inn with the reception held somewhere else, so everyone is gone by 4:00 PM or 5:00 PM.
Mr. Cole urged the Council to think about this.
Danielle Gulli, Chamber of Commerce Director, noted she had discussions with Ms. Miarecki before they purchased the home and described the contact Ms. Miarecki had with businesses on the Square, talking with many people.
Noting she has worked with Ms. Miarecki, Ms. Gulli opined there has been some over- exaggeration, but noted she understands the residents’ concerns about parking.
Ms. Gulli stated she has not heard the petitioners talk about large parties and opined their event calendar will not fill up. She stated the audience that comes to Woodstock is not 20 to 30-year olds. She asked everyone to look at the number of people they can accommodate and stated they have expressed their willingness to work with the community.
She noted if the petitioners just lived in the home, they could have eight parties per year with music and a tent in the back yard with no ordinance preventing this. She stated anyone living in this neighborhood could also do this.
Ms. Gulli stated the petitioners are willing to discuss this with anyone and noted the SUP can always be revoked or modified if the things people are describing happen. She stated this is a business in a residential neighborhood noting the petitioners wish to live in a family environment. She asked everyone to give them the opportunity to see what works for them and for the community.
Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 18 of 29
Gary Grana, 319 Dean Street, noted that the petitioners have indicated a willingness to reduce the number of events suggesting letting them do this and then come back with less aggressive numbers for consideration. He urged Council not to pass this proposal with such large numbers.
Robin Grover, 454 Lawndale, noted she has never met Ms. Miarecki and only learned of this proposal a week ago, yet the Chamber has been talking with her for over a year. She opined no one can assume to know what is going to happen and does not wish to just wait to see what will happen. She stated this is something that should have been brought up and not just come out of the blue.
Ms. Grover expressed her wish to keep the neighborhood the way it is. She noted the traffic problems, which already exist on Fremont Street and asked Council to think about the children with all the traffic and parking issues.
Cindy and Ray Bach, 441 Lawndale, noted they live five houses from the Groundhog House. Ms. Bach stated she has never met the petitioners. She expressed support of events such as showers or small parties, but stated having events for 160 attendees is outrageous. She stated the Council cannot approve this and then assume it will not happen. Ms. Bach also expressed concerns about parking, noting there are residents with full-time caregivers and a Pioneer group home in the neighborhood, and about the possible inability of an ambulance to gain access if needed.
Ms. Bach opined the suggestion of shuttle service for events with over 125 attendees is inadequate as an event with 120 attendees will bring approximately 60 cars to the neighborhood leaving no place to park for friends and families of residents.
She noted the organizers of Gallery in the Garden and Fair Diddley would let the neighbors know well in advance and stated they are charity events. She stated the events proposed at the Inn will inconvenience the neighbors for someone to make money.
Mr. Bach stated he has a number of concerns for the neighborhood, noting they need assurances about what will happen. He stated the number of events could be lowered so the petitioners could make some money without inconveniencing the neighbors. He stated he is looking for safety, security, and quiet, noting the proposal calls for an average of two events per month in summer meaning two weekends they could not be out in their yards. He then talked about how the noise would change the face of the neighborhood.
Jill Hunt, noting the SUP will stay with the property, asked Council to separate this decision from the petitioners because they could sell the property. Mayor Sager noted the SUP can be revoked at any time. The resident urged Council to keep the SUP as it is and not expand or vary it.
German Zambrano, noted he does not live near the neighborhood. He stated change is difficult to go through. He complimented the business owners on their tenacity and the neighborhood for its family values.
Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 19 of 29
He expressed concern about the decibel levels of the events.
He noted Council can avoid having to revoke the SUP in the future by making the right decision now. He opined the decision should be to deny this request with the petitioners having the opportunity to reach out to the neighborhood and return with another request.
Mary Andreas, 222 Fremont Street, asked what the plans would be for a large 160-person event in case of inclement weather expressing concern about a tent.
Ms. Miarecki stated she wished to clarify the statements about 160-persons events. She stated 90% of the events will have 40 to 80 attendees and noted the only reason they mentioned 160 attendees is that they have been asked by local charities to host one or two events. She stated the home is allowed to have 124 occupants per fire code.
Expressing concern about the lack of sidewalks, Ms. Andreas opined people could fall and asked about insurance coverage. City Attorney R. Schlossberg stated the City would not be held liable in such a case. Ms. Miarecki noted there would be shuttle parking and indicated they are fully insured.
Lydia Baltalbols, 621 Dean Street, discussed the previous owners of this property and the benefits they provided to the community through ownership.
Ms. Baltalbols questioned the process, opining part of the process has been taken away from the States’ Attorney. She opined people are not comfortable with this process.
Casey Meyers, 883 Victoria, noted that some seem offended they were not personally notified. She opined this is how democracy works, noting the petitioners were required to go before the Plan Commission, which was another public meeting and publicly posted as required. She noted parameters were set forth at that meeting, which formed the basis for what the Council is discussing and considering. Noting that people are calling for discussion, she stated this is the discussion. She stated it sounds as if the Miareckis are willing to change their numbers. Noting this is a business Woodstock needs, Ms. Meyers urged everyone to calm down.
Peter Walsdorf, formerly of 415 S. Madison Street., stated he did not want to move from Madison Street, but now is glad because he does not want to deal with weekend parties during the summer.
Steve Jacobs, Madison Street, asked how Council can vary a SUP for an unlicensed B&B. Mayor Sager stated Council is considering a variation having to do with the number of events, the timing of events, and the restrictions on the number of people on the first SUP, which already exists. He stated the license issue is administratively accomplished after consideration of the SUP, noting the current SUP was approved previously in accordance with the ordinance and now the question is a variance. Mayor Sager stated once a decision is determined about the SUP it will be up to Staff to administratively extend the license.
Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 20 of 29
In response to questions from Mr. Jacobs concerning closing down an unlicensed business, City Manager Stelford stated the City attempts to work amicably with the business owner to gain compliance with any codes or regulations. He also noted the B&B obtains the SUP first and then the license issue is addressed.
Mr. Jacobs stated he welcomes a B&B with events up to 25 people and asked that this decision go back to the Plan Commission. He urged a “no” vote tonight.
Noting he is an event planner, Mr. Jacobs stated he knows what can happen at events and how they can impact an area. In response to a question from Mr. Jacobs, Councilman Turner stated it is not a requirement that Council assess the petitioners’ business model.
Mr. Jacobs expressed his concern about unintended consequences that no one has thought of. He opined approval of this proposal transforms this from a B&B to a special event venue, which is completely different from its current use. He opined the petitioners knew it was a B&B not a banquet facility serving alcohol. He also opined events for 160 people disrupt the neighborhood.
Noting the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson were not present at the Plan Commission, Mr. Jacobs opined this resulted in the presentation not receiving due consideration by that body.
Mr. Jacobs then opined the petitioners did not prove they were in compliance with the Special Use specific criteria as outlined by Section 4.4.7 of the Unified Development Ordinance.
Mr. Jacobs then talked about how other cities, in his experience as an event planner, protect their citizens from the negative impact of events and event venues.
Mr. Jacobs asked Council to consider not allowing amplified music at any outdoor event, to require the owners to submit a detailed plan for every event, and to require the owners to complete a SUP request for every event, noting this was a requirement for the Benton Street event previously approved this evening. Councilman Turner noted the requirement for the Benton Street event was because that petitioner was requesting street closures.
Mr. Jacobs expressed concern regarding whether there were any event guidelines in place for the Cherry Tree Inn and requested Council to require the petitioner to follow detailed guidelines. He also expressed concern about enforcement procedures and the effect of this proposal on neighborhood children and safety.
He requested Council to take more time to address all concerns and issues and to send this request back to the Plan Commission for further review. In lieu of this, he requested Council to vote “no” this evening.
Kate McCaughrean stated she was at the Plan Commission meeting, noting she was shocked at their approval of this proposal. Stating she loves her neighborhood, she expressed concern about the number of people requested to be allowed at the events, noise, portable toilets, parking, the service of alcohol, and the lateness of the events, noting these will be disruptive to the neighborhood and to her personally. Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 21 of 29
Ms. McCaughrean expressed her love of her home and neighborhood and talked about her life on Madison Street. Ms. McCaughrean expressed concerns about monitoring of the events, noting she does not want to have to monitor the events and call the Police.
She asked that the number of attendees be lowered, asking that what would be good for a B&B in a neighborhood be considered, opining 25 would be a good number.
Ms. McCaughrean urged the Council to vote “no.”
Lisa Hanson, Woodstock, urged the Council to vote “no.” She opined the notion of a single- family home being able to accommodate 160 people is ridiculous and that this request and proposal has been rushed.
In response to a question from Ms. Hanson concerning the method used for notification, J. Napolitano stated the UDO provides for hand delivery or registered mail. Ms. Miarecki stated the notices were hand-delivered with notification going to out-of-town property owners by Certified Letter.
In response to a question from Ms. Hanson concerning the discrepancy between the recommendation and the approval, Mr. Napolitano stated this resulted from the Public Hearing and the motion by the Plan Commission. In response to a question, Mr. Stelford stated the Plan Commission wished to have a maximum number of attendees set rather than an average that was originally requested.
Ms. Hanson expressed concerns that the process is being rushed opining it merits a discussion not placement on the Consent Agenda. She urged Council to vote “no.”
Kristen Foley, formerly of 340 S. Madison, noted she no longer lives in Woodstock, but considers it her hometown. She stated she is here as a former resident who knows the neighborhood. She also noted she practices local government law on behalf of Naperville.
Noting she received a call from a neighbor requesting assistance, Ms. Foley stated she has gone through the ordinances and spoken with Steve Jacobs urging him to submit a FOIA request to gain information on the conversations Council and Staff have had with the petitioners.
Ms. Foley discussed the Findings of Fact from the Public Hearing, opining one must look at the Business Plan because this type of use is not permitted in this zoning area as a right. She took issue with some of the findings noting that schools, libraries, and churches have parking and do not have alcohol. Noting, the Staff Report, which states private homes could have these same types of event, she stated a home would not possess a liquor license.
Ms. Foley opined the City Council must listen to the people who will be most impacted by this and who are saying the impact will be huge. She opined the Finding of Fact, which states this will not be detrimental, is faulty. She urged Council to send this back to the Plan Commission for a more detailed Finding of Fact. Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 22 of 29
Noting there has been a lot of talk about what the petitioners are going to do, Ms. Foley opined the only thing that matters is what the law will allow them to do, which is what is being considered tonight. She urged Council to vote “no” or send this request back to the Plan Commission.
John Kunzie, 1210 Portage, noted he has been a resident of Woodstock for 40 years. He talked about the history of the Groundhog House and what can happen to big, historic houses noting they can either be preserved or they can be allowed to run down, broken into apartments, and eventually demolished. Mr. Kunzie stated this house is a gem that has gone through part of that process and come back, noting bringing it back and keeping it as a historic gem takes a tremendous amount of capital. He opined if the owners cannot find a way to develop money to support its operation, it could become an eyesore and be lost to the community.
Noting he loves the community, Mr. Kunzie lauded the Miareckis for their willingness to put their capital in this house and lauded the City Council for having a process in place. He noted there are legal remedies to correct a situation should that become necessary. He urged the Council to “go for it.”
Ray Lucich, 544 Lawndale, expressed concern about the lack of sidewalks in the area. He asked Council to walk the neighborhood at 10:00 PM to see if they feel safe with people who are drinking and driving.
Marybeth Walsdorf, 1135 Donegal and owner of 415 South Madison, stated the Miareckis are owed an apology because they were not encouraged by those they met with at the Chamber or the City to come into the neighborhood and meet with the neighbors. She expressed her pride in the neighborhood for coming together in less than two weeks about this issue, opining that is real Woodstock. She encouraged the Council to vote “no,” stating she has looked at the FOIA and feels this proposal was rushed. She talked about the effects of an event with 160 attendees and again asked that time be taken to rework the plans.
Lori Miarecki, petitioner, stated she believes in trust, honesty, and good faith, expressing her disappointment in the comments made this evening. She noted she submitted drawings, which depicted every area where alcohol would be allowed and stated there will not be 160 people every weekend. She stated there are laws against people being overserved and that they would never allow or tolerate violence, noting she would have no problem calling the Police if necessary. She stated they do not mind restrictions on the number of events or the number of people.
George Miarecki, petitioner, stated there are two different event proposals, one for indoor and one for outdoor events. He proposed limiting the outdoor events to six with no more than two per month and no more than 80 attendees with all events ending at 9:00 PM. Only non-amplified string instruments would be allowed. He proposed limiting indoor events to eight with a maximum of 60 attendees with all events ending at 11:00 PM.
There being no further public comment, Mayor Sager opened the floor for Council comment and Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 23 of 29 discussion.
Councilman Turner noted he became a Council member to fight something that he disagreed with that was happening in his neighborhood, stating that resulted in alternatives being presented. He stated there has been much emotion expressed this evening because this is “home.” He stated this also applies to the owners of the B&B, noting their risk is substantial. Councilman Turner opined many residents would view an upscale, small wedding at a historic and culturally-significant venue as a positive thing.
Councilman Turner stated Council follows a process, noting this is the process. He stated they try to fix things and change them if something is not right. Noting Council has heard a wide- range of comments and views this evening, he opined his job is to find what is reasonable with minimal impact, trying to look at the interests of the homeowners, the business, and greater Woodstock. He stated he understands the alarm surrounding the proposal for eight events with 160 attendees, opining there is a middle ground, which would be appropriate.
Councilman Turner urged everyone not to underestimate the power of the City to control something with a Special Use Permit, noting it can be revoked by the Council. He stated this ability puts the business at risk. He stated he would like to focus on what could work rather than what will not work and opined this has the potential for the City and the neighborhood for quaint, quiet weddings in an upscale venue. Councilman Turner opined this is not a common venue for 20-year-olds. He expressed his hope that if this goes through it will be viewed as something that enhances the neighborhood.
Councilman Turner stated his belief that parking is a substantial issue, which should be dealt with using a shuttle service. Concerning music, he stated he finds non-amplified string music a reasonable compromise. He opined it is important for the City to assess things after every event for the first year and it is important for the petitioner to notify Staff that there will be an event, so he can contact Staff to see how it went. He opined this would be a good trial period.
Councilwoman Larson stated she appreciates the outreach and passion of everyone and the petitioners’ investment in Woodstock. She noted her job is to weigh and balance the viewpoints, stating she came this evening with an open mind. For those who have not seen the process, she stated it works, noting this is the discussion with Council.
Councilwoman Larson stated she does not intend to vote for 160-person events, but also is not in favor of “nothing” either. She opined Mr. Miarecki’s counter proposal may be a compromise. She noted the Gallery in the Garden is a huge event for which there has never been one complaint. For those that expressed concern about emergency vehicles getting through, she noted that is a problem for that day also.
Councilwoman Larson stated she understands the concerns about parking, but also understands shuttles and valet parking will be provided for larger events. She stated people have indoor events all the time and if parking is not an issue, then it will not be an issue for the B&B. She stated her understanding of the concerns about noise, parking, and portable toilets. She noted it is the residents’ neighborhood, but feels there is a workable solution. Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 24 of 29
Councilwoman Larson stated she also favors a trial basis to see if there are any issues. She noted where there are issues, Council can handle them.
Councilman Hart stated he is not in favor of 160 attendees. He opined parking for small events is also an issue, stating his belief there should be shuttle service for all events. He agreed there should be no amplified music, and opined 11:00 PM is too late for even indoor events. He also expressed his agreement with a trial period and opined the petitioner should come back next year for approval after seeing how things went this year. He noted the Benton Street process might be good and talked about the possibility of hiring additional Police or security for big events.
Councilman Tebo stated he is dismayed by the rhetoric this evening, noting some of the things said were unfair to the petitioner. He noted that those who purchased homes near the high school chose to purchase those houses knowing what will happen and that people purchasing homes in the Groundhog House neighborhood knew it was a residential neighborhood. He opined the City should not impose this upon the neighborhood without the neighbors having the opportunity to get together with the petitioners to work things out.
Councilman Prindiville opined the concerns expressed make sense, stating he also has some concerns, noting this is a unique, diverse, quiet neighborhood. He stated the values that are exhibited there are important to maintaining the quality of life in Woodstock. He stated his role is to protect these neighborhoods, noting his wish to make a decision that will protect these values. Councilman Prindiville stated his belief that if there is a perception that this will have a negative impact on the neighborhood that is something Woodstock cannot afford. He stated his feeling that there is a B&B with a liquor license and a Special Use Permit in place so there is an opportunity for business activity and enhancing the options for overnight stays and events, noting he is satisfied there is now a good venue in place. He stated he is not in favor of expanding this, as it would put a burden on the City and on the residents.
Mayor Sager stated he appreciates the passion everyone has for the neighborhood and the city and appreciates the strong commitment to support a peaceful neighborhood. He acknowledged there are always opportunities to improve communication and to come together to voice concerns. He expressed his gratitude to those who took the time to do that, opining these discussions will help come to a better decision by working together and come to a resolution with respect to the concerns appropriately expressed.
Mayor Sager stated there six areas to look at. First is the number of events, with the original proposal being 14, and the number of attendees. He stated the request now has been brought forward for six indoor events with no more than 60 attendees and not-to-exceed six outdoor events with no more than 80 attendees.
He agreed that parking is a concern, noting the proposal is not to exceed 20 on-street parking spaces with Council suggesting at a certain number of attendees, a shuttle service should be considered.
Concerning notification, Mayor Sager stated the City currently requires notification for events Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 25 of 29 and opined it should be required that notification be done for outdoor events, not by certified mail but rather with flyers.
Concerning limitations on the hours for events, Mayor Sager stated the proposal was looking at 9:00 PM for all outdoor events and 11:00 PM for all indoor events.
Concerning outdoor music, Mayor Sager noted the concerns expressed were largely related to amplified outdoor music, stating he agrees with this concern. He stated Mr. Miarecki has proposed only non-amplified string music.
Mayor Sager noted the final area for discussion is review of the Special Use Permit as it may be structured, opining this is worthy of consideration. He suggested a review after 18 months to give those involved time to work things through and stated the petitioners and the neighbors could be surveyed to ascertain their perspectives.
In response to a question from Mayor Sager, it was the majority consensus of the City Council to continue the discussion this evening to try to reach a resolution on these items.
Councilman Turner noted the petitioners are already allowed to do an unlimited number of events with 25 attendees or fewer. In response to a question from Councilman Turner as to the plans for 2018 for events larger than this, Mr. Miarecki stated they would like to do one outdoor event per month during the summer for a total of four. He stated the view the B&B as their home and opined four events would be reasonable for him. Councilman Turner stated four outdoor events with 80 attendees would be a reasonable compromise for him.
Mr. Miarecki stated he would like to leave the number of indoor events the same. Councilman Turner opined there is more flexibility with the indoor events. Discussion followed of the on- street parking issues even for indoor events with Councilman Turner stating this could be an issue even for indoor events with 60 attendees. He opined it would be in the petitioners’ best interest to have a shuttle for events, both indoor and outdoor, with more than 25 attendees because there will be less impact on the neighborhood. Mr. Miarecki agreed, stating there would be a shuttle for all events with over 25 attendees. Ms. Miarecki stated she is already in discussions with Harris Bank about using their parking lot for parking.
Councilman Turner opined notification is reasonable. Ms. Miarecki noted the Inn recently hosted a funeral event with six days’ notice and asked about the requirement for written notification in a case such as this. She opined the greater the number of people, the more notice should be given.
Councilman Hart opined outdoor events should require significant longer notice to which Ms. Miarecki agreed.
In response to a question from Mayor Sager as to what is considered reasonable notification, Councilman Turner opined 30 days for an outdoor event.
Councilman Turner opined all events should end by 9:00 PM during the first year. Mr. Miarecki Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 26 of 29 expressed his agreement.
Councilman Turner opined there should be a discussion in January 2019, noting anyone can talk to Staff or the Council at any time if there are concerns. Councilman Hart noted the SUP can be rescinded or modified at any time if there are problems. Councilman Turner stated the stakes are high for the petitioners because they may have events already booked. He urged bridge building between the petitioners and the neighbors expressing his hope that everyone can be good neighbors and work this out.
Mayor Sager summarized what is on the table:
Events not to exceed six indoor events with no more than 60 attendees and four outdoor events with no more than 80 attendees for a total of ten events. Parking not to exceed 20 on-street spaces and any time there is an event, indoor or outdoor, with more than 25 attendees shuttle service will be provided. For events with more than 25 attendees, 30-day notification is required for all outdoor events. All events, indoor or outdoor, with more than 25 attendees will cease by 9:00 PM. Outdoor music, consisting of non-amplified string instruments, is permitted until 9:00 PM All parameters of the Special Use Permit will continue, but will be subject to review with the petitioner and the City Council in January 2019.
Mr. and Mrs. Miarecki agreed with Mayor Sager’s summation with Mr. Miarecki stating he would like to hear from the neighbors concerning this proposal.
Steve Jacobs noted there is already a SUP in place, which allows events up to 25 attendees and urged Council to keep it that way.
Lydia Baltalbols noted there is no audio or video of this evening’s discussion and expressed concern about Council authorizing a binding agreement without the people with a vested interest having access to documentation.
Don Frick, 334 South Jefferson, expressed his concern that there is a process before the Plan Commission that is not being utilized and asked why the Council feels it represents the community better than the Plan Commission. He opined there is not an opportunity for dialog and that the City needs to work better at the Commission level for more public comment. Mr. Frick advocated for requiring certified letters as a notification mechanism in the future, opining this would make sure there is a good dialog at the Plan Commission level.
Jack Walsdorf opined Council is working hard to find a compromise. He expressed his concern that because a shuttle is offered does not mean people will use it. He urged the requirement for the use of signage to inform people to use the shuttle. He expressed his agreement with the notification requirement, but noted the more time that is given, the more time neighbors will have to adjust their plans. Concerning noise, he suggested having a decibel meter available to Woodstock City Council 11/07/17 Page 27 of 29 measure noise. Mr. Walsdorf stated review is a good idea, but opined there should be some type of check to see if things are working.
Mr. Walsdorf opined everyone understands the petitioners’ concern about holiday events, but suggested allowing the indoor holiday events to go forward and then having a dialog after that.
Mayor Sager noted there are opportunities for the City to utilize signage and assist with notification. He opined the commentary regarding shuttles also has to do with restricting parking to no more than 20 on-street parking spaces. In response to Councilwoman Larson’s comment that no signage will be posted for this, Ms. Miarecki stated they offered to make signage regarding parking. She noted they can fit fifteen cars in their driveway and parking area. Mayor Sager stated emergency vehicle access must be considered, and opined the City could consider coordination meetings for these events.
Robin Grover noted Lawndale is not curb and gutter and asked Council to put themselves in the neighbors’ shoes when voting.
Scott Mikalauskis, 113 Donovan Avenue, urged Council to make a very careful decision, opining a wrong decision would damage the neighborhood. Noting the late hour, he suggested putting the decision off for two weeks, allowing the petitioners to do community outreach and the neighbors to think about it.
Steve Jacobs agreed with the suggestion to wait two weeks. Expressing concerns about enforcement, he opined the petitioners should be required to submit a Policy and Procedures Manual to the City.
Danielle Gulli, noted someone’s livelihood depends upon this and urged Council not to put off the decision stating it would be detrimental to their business. She stated the petitioners have heard the comments and know they need better communication.
Allen Stebbins stated he appreciates the investment the petitioners have in the B&B, opining it is a great idea. He opined the Chamber needs to understand the neighbors have made an investment also, noting the petitioners moved into the neighborhood knowing what they were getting into. He opined the Council has the opportunity to develop guidelines, noting some of the ideas suggested by the petitioner have potential. He stated the neighbors should have the opportunity to comment on them, which will give Council time to develop the guidelines should future requests come up.
Councilman Hart opined he would like to vote on the indoor events, but put off the outdoor events until there can be more conversations with the neighbors. Following a brief discussion, it was the consensus of the Council to do as Councilman Hart suggested.
Councilman Prindiville expressed concern about the process, stating he understands the importance of economic development, but noted he is on the Council to protect the quality of life and the residents. He stated he is not in favor of moving forward this evening.

3. NEW BUSINESS a) Public Hearing – Amendment to Special Use Permit for The Cherry Tree Inn, 344 Fremont Street Acting Chairman Horrell opened the Public Hearing at 7:05 PM, noting this is a Public Hearing on an Amendment to the Special Use Permit for The Cherry Tree Inn, 344 Fremont Street.
A roll call was taken.
COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Donald Fortin, Donna Besler, Steve Gavers, Darrell Moore, Jackie Speciale, Erich Thurow, and Acting Chairman Robert Horrell.
COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT: Doreen Paluch and Katherine Parkhurst.
Acting Chairman Horrell confirmed the presence of a quorum.
Mr. Napolitano confirmed the Public Hearing was legally and properly noticed.
Petitioner George Miarecki, 344 Fremont Street and owner of The Cherry Tree Inn, was sworn in by City Attorney TJ Clifton.
Petitioner Lori Miarecki, 344 Fremont Street and owner of The Cherry Tree Inn, was sworn in by City Attorney TJ Clifton.
Lori Miarecki stated they are present this evening to ask to extend the zoning provisions for 344 Fremont Street for larger events greater than 25 guests. She stated they have been approved for a Class J liquor license so asked that the zoning reflect this. Ms. Miarecki stated this will provide a unique venue using local businesses.
Commissioner Moore noted the wording in the Staff report which states the petitioners “anticipate hosting up to 6 small indoor weddings per year, averaging 30 persons, and up to eight larger outdoor weddings per year, averaging 120 persons.” He stated he is not comfortable with the range and asked why this wording was chosen. Mr. Miarecki stated this was developed with input from the Building and Zoning Department with the idea it would provide flexibility. Ms. Miarecki stated people are asking for this, noting they have been asked to host Christmas parties and charitable events for local charities. Ms. Miarecki stated they must be able to be flexible for events. Mr. Miarecki stated indoor events would be capped at 60 attendees and outdoor events at 160 attendees.
Commissioner Moore stated his primary concerns are parking and any additional noise from parties. He stated he does not believe the events described would generate this type of noise, but asked the petitioners if there is a possibility of outdoor amplified music. Ms. Miarecki stated it would not be any greater than that coming from neighborhood parties that take place. She stated the music would not go past 11:00 PM per the City’s ordinance and would be relaxed and casual using local musicians. Commissioner Moore asked again whether it is possible this music would be amplified to which Ms. Miarecki replied that it is possible, but the music would not be loud. Mr. Miarecki stated they do not anticipate having outdoor receptions, but only outdoor weddings. Ms. Miarecki opined there may be low-key dance music. She further opined people in the neighborhood are already having backyard parties similar to this.
Commissioner Moore stated he is looking to make sure the character of the neighborhood is respected and suggested perhaps making recommendations to ensure this would stay the same. Woodstock Plan Commission 10/26/17 Page 3 of 11
Ms. Miarecki stated they are only looking to hold six to eight outdoor events per year and do not plan to have an event every weekend. She noted they have already had several people asking for small outdoor weddings. She stated they would not mind having parameters set.
In response to a question from Commissioner Moore, Ms. Miarecki stated it is their plan that outdoor events would not go past 11:00 PM and indoor events not past 1:00 AM as they would possibly include a sit-down dinner and/or mingling, noting it is possible the entire house may be booked.
In response to a question from Commissioner Moore as to whether the petitioner has done any estimates of parking needs based on the anticipated size of their events, Ms. Miarecki stated the City’s ordinance allows three persons per car. She stated they know parking is a concern as large events have spread out into the neighborhood. She stated they have no issue with positing signs that read “Parking on this side of the street only.” Ms. Miarecki stated the Inn has parking for 7 in its lot plus driveway parking resulting in the ability to park 13 vehicles on site. She noted a neighborhood event which draws 1,600 people, stating they would have nothing like this. Mr. Miarecki stated it is estimated a 30- person event would have 4-6 cars needing to park on the street. He stated attendees at larger events would be encouraged to use public parking lots, stating they will work with neighbors on parking issues. Mr. Miarecki stated they would require valet parking, if needed.
Commissioner Moore stated he lives on Jefferson Street in the vicinity of the Inn noting he finds music from the art event pleasant and does not find what the petitioner is describing objectionable. He opined on-street parking is there for what they are describing, noting neighbors possibly have on-property parking.
Commissioner Moore noted staff has suggested the Commission might require staff monitoring and documentation of events in some fashion with the focus on complaints. He asked if there is a mechanism in place by which the City would know of these events in advance. Ms. Miarecki stated they would notify the City prior to any event if that is the City’s wish. Commissioner Moore stated he is not sure if there would be an advantage in notifying the City, but opined it might be advantageous if the neighbors knew in advance.
Commissioner Fortin asked how the City would track the number of events. He asked if there is a concern about whether there is a way to address the situation formally should it become a nuisance. Mr. Napolitano stated the previous owner was limited to events with a maximum of 25 persons noting there was no evidence of complaints being made about these. He stated Staff does not know what will happen, noting there could be a parking problem, but asked if this would be any different if a neighbor had a party. He noted it is Staff’s belief that notification is a good idea so problems can be addressed should they arise. Commissioner Fortin opined it is the City’s responsibility to have a plan. Mr. Napolitano stated the City Council can revoke the Special Use permit if the petitioner does not comply with the ordinance. Commissioner Fortin asked what would happen if they are complying, but there is still a problem.
Ms. Miarecki stated if parking becomes a problem for specific neighbors, they can put up signs which say, “no parking from this point” or “no parking only for Cherry Tree B&B.” She stated they will strive to make everyone happy stating they have had requests from local businesses to hold Christmas parties.
Commissioner Thurow opined parking is an issue for everything that comes before the Commission. He stated a 160-person event could have 40-50 cars, noting he does not believe there is enough Woodstock Plan Commission 10/26/17 Page 4 of 11 parking, which concerns him. Discussion ensued of the parking available in the area. Commissioner Thurow stated he believes it is a wise idea to offer a valet service, opining it would make the event better. He stated his feeling that the proposal is a great idea, but expressed his concern about parking. He stated if it is successful, there could be even more events.
Ms. Miarecki stated they do not wish to become just an event venue, noting it is a bed and breakfast. She stated it is their wish to have people come to see the house. She stated it is not in their plan to offer a valet service, noting it would be up to the renter to provide this. She stated they would arrange for this service for a fee. Ms. Miarecki stated it is not their wish to have a bunch of cars around.
Commissioner Besler stated she is excited that the petitioners have purchased the building, but noted from a Commissioner’s standpoint parking is an issue. Noting there have been several events in the area that required a lot of parking, she encouraged valet parking for larger events. In response to a question from Commissioner Besler, Ms. Miarecki noted there would not be large tents as the topography of the property would not allow this. She passed out aerial view photos, which showed an area that would accommodate one single tent. She further described where outdoor weddings would be held.
Commissioner Gavers expressed his agreement with the other Commission members about parking. He stated he approves of the proposal because it will bring people to Woodstock, but stated he does not believe the facility’s event attendees will park downtown on a weekend. Noting the various areas of available remote parking, he opined shuttles could possibly be set up for this.
Ms. Miarecki stated the potential to bring people to Woodstock is great, noting they are only talking about 150 people where some events on the Square bring 15,000.
In response to a question from Commissioner Gavers, Ms. Miarecki stated they will provide portable toilets for larger events and described where they will be located, noting they will be hidden. She stated there is also a bathroom on the first floor of the Inn.
Commissioner Speciale stated she appreciates that the petitioner has expressed the wish to be good stewards and understands what the house means to Woodstock, and noted she likes that they will work with local businesses. In response to a question from Commissioner Speciale about any additional lighting, Ms. Miarecki stated there is already outdoor lighting on the property. She described how lights can be strung for outdoor weddings and noted they are working with a local business to install stone pathways.
Commissioner Speciale expressed her concern regarding parking noting the events would increase the traffic impact on pedestrians. In response to a question from Commissioner Speciale, Ms. Miarecki stated guests staying at the Inn will park on the property. Commissioner Speciale expressed her hope they will notify their neighbors of events and will be a good neighbor.
Acting Chairman Horrell opined the idea of having an average number is vague. He stated he would prefer if an average and a maximum were cited, noting there is a difference between 120 persons and 160.
Ms. Miarecki stated it is her vision to have community events supporting local charities and have monthly picnics on the lawn with live music. Acting Chairman Horrell stated he is supportive of this vision, but wishes to make sure the City has clear guidelines established. He opined any motion should include conditions, which refer to an average and a not-to-exceed number. Woodstock Plan Commission 10/26/17 Page 5 of 11
Acting Chairman Horrell opined it is an excellent idea that one condition of the motion be that for larger events, valet parking service is provided. Ms. Miarecki expressed her agreement.
Acting Chairman Horrell stated music is also a concern for him, but noted the City’s ordinance says it cannot go past 11:00PM.
Commissioner Gavers opined a shuttle would be a win-win for everyone including the neighbors and would respect everyone.
Discussion followed of possible wording for the motion, including possible inclusion of the catering liquor license. Commissioner Moore opined he is not comfortable taking this issue on as it falls within the purview of the Liquor Commissioner and the Health Department.
Acting Chairman Horrell opened the floor for Public Comment at 7:45 PM.
He acknowledged an e-mail that was received from Stuart Eugene Thiel of 418 S. Madison Street expressing his support of this petition.
Phyllis Huff, 310 Fremont Street, was sworn in by City Attorney TJ Clifton.
Ms. Huff stated her concern is parking, noting the street narrows and there is parking on both sides. She acknowledged there had been talk of temporary signage, but stated she would like to see permanent parking on only one side of the street and asked if this could be possible.
Commissioner Moore stated this is not within the purview of the Plan Commission. Mr. Napolitano suggested she contact the City Manager’s Office with this request.
Ms. Huff provided information on the problems the neighborhood has had with other events and how she cannot maneuver out of her driveway. She stated she is in favor of the request, but would like to see parking only on one side of the street.
Deborah Glaubke, 600 Lawndale, was sworn in by City Attorney TJ Clifton.
Ms. Glaubke stated she probably is the neighbor most affected by the “Groundhog House” as they share a property line and that house overlooks her property. She stated she thinks this proposal is terrific, that she likes the idea, the sense of cooperation, and the inclusion of the neighbors. She stated she has one concern having to do with noise as her bedroom window overlooks the Inn’s property. Ms. Glaubke stated the Red Mill plays music until midnight on weekends, which she can clearly hear and forces her to close her windows. She stated this is her only worry and asked that the music not continue past a reasonable time.
Ms. Glaubke stated she is the founder of the Gallery in the Garden event and knows about parking and neighbors’ issues. She noted she only has had one complaint over the ten years she has been doing the event. Ms. Glaubke stated she did have 1,600 attendees over the course of her event with approximately 700 throughout one day. She stated a shuttle service was provided through Harris Bank. Ms. Glaubke talked about the signage that was placed and the volunteers that she had to help with parking issues, stating people were respectful and opining the event worked well. She stated she made sure there was plenty of signage in the neighborhood about parking and the shuttle.
Woodstock Plan Commission 10/26/17 Page 6 of 11
In response to a question from Ms. Miarecki, Ms. Glaubke stated she feels 10:00 PM would be a reasonable hour to discontinue the music in a residential area.
Noting Ms. Glaubke raised a good point, Acting Chairman Horrell stated the ordinance requires music to cease at 11:00 PM and noted there apparently is another establishment with music to midnight. City Attorney Clifton stated this is an enforcement issue rather than an ordinance issue. He stated the Plan Commission could change the time requirement, but noted if they remain silent on this issue the ordinance is already in place and will apply.
Steve Jacobs, 345 South Madison, was sworn in by City Attorney TJ Clifton.
Mr. Jacobs stated he has been an event manager for 33 years and has lived in Woodstock for 17 years. He stated he does not want events in his backyard 14 times per year. Stating “why not have an event every weekend,” he opined if that is a bad idea then it is always a bad idea. He questioned why there should be a change from the original approval of a maximum of 25 attendees. Noting the concerns expressed by the Commission, he opined this is “a huge can of worms.” Mr. Jacobs offered to consult on the motion to be made by the Commission. He stated traffic and parking would be a concern as would the fact people cannot be controlled after they consume alcohol. He stated this is a residential neighborhood and he would like to keep it as such. He opined the thought of having 14 events of 120 to 160 attendees each coming down the street is not a good idea.
Marybeth Walsdorf, 415 South Madison, was sworn in by City Attorney TJ Clifton.
Ms. Walsdorf noted she currently has her property for sale and stated she did not receive any notice of this proposal. She stated her family has resided on South Madison Street for 22 years and has seen many events at this Inn. She stated she is 100% supportive of Mr. Jacobs’ comments. Ms. Walsdorf opined everything said to her has been vague with a lot of assumptions. She stated when planning a wedding there are a lot of emotions and opined it is difficult to control the number of people who attend.
Ms. Walsdorf stated there are many children in this area and noted parking is only allowed on one side of the street resulting in little available parking. She noted everyone knew about the Garden in the Gallery event, noting it was one weekend a month for which everyone could prepare. She stated now the neighborhood could be looking at having an entire summer filled with cars and people. Ms. Walsdorf stated weddings are celebrations which do not end at 5:00 PM, and opined attendees may be on the porch until 1:00 AM.
Stressing this is a residential neighborhood, Ms. Walsdorf stated the current permit is for a maximum of 25 attendees, which is in keeping with the character of the property and has worked well. Ms. Walsdorf opined this proposal has not been thought through well enough as to what could happen to the nature of the neighborhood. She stated she is happy the new owners are more welcoming, but opined this will change the whole nature of the neighborhood. She asked the Commission to keep this a neighborhood and not to change something that is already working.
Kate Ford-McCaughrean, 414 South Madison Street, was sworn in by City Attorney TJ Clifton.
Ms. Ford-McCaughrean expressed her agreement with Mr. Jacobs and Ms. Walsdorf. She stated this is a residential neighborhood with children and dogs and limited parking on one side of the street only. She stated parking has been an issue in the past noting she has been unable to get out of her driveway Woodstock Plan Commission 10/26/17 Page 7 of 11 during the art event. She talked about problems in the neighborhood and how she has been inconvenienced, including problems with Fair Diddley.
Ms. Ford-McCaughrean stated the 25-person events were not a problem. She stated she hears noise from the high school football games and expressed her agreement with neighbors’ concerns about parking and the portable toilets. She stated, being two houses away from the property, she is concerned about being blocked in, noting there are already parking problems. She stated she would be in favor of keeping the limit of 25 attendees in place.
Ms. Miarecki noted the community is amazing as evidenced by the neighbors caring enough to come out this evening. She noted their business plan is defined and not vague, stating they would never have more than two weddings per month with one per month being preferred. Ms. Miarecki stated most events would be 25 persons or under, but they wish to have the opportunity to allow for more community involvement. She stated it would not be a problem to end the music at 10:00 PM, noting she does hear music every weekend which she thought came from the neighborhood, but may be the Red Mill. She opined they could make it so there were no more than 10 cars on the street, utilizing a shuttle service. Ms. Miarecki stated it is not their intent to have 17 events whenever they want, but rather having one outdoor event per month April through October.
Ms. Miarecki stated they would not injure the community or the feel of the neighborhood, noting when the home was built it was supposed to be where everyone gathered. She stated it is their wish for it to be that again. Ms. Miarecki stated people are begging them to open the Inn to this type of use and noted it is their wish to increase the viability of Woodstock and of their business. She stated they will work with everyone to make them as happy as can be.
Stating they passed out notices to 76 neighbors, Ms. Miarecki stated only five people came forward with concerns and opined most people must be happy with their proposal.
Mr. Miarecki stated there are currently no reservations for events so any stipulations made upon them can be placed on any events. He noted their primary business is a bed and breakfast, stating this is something they would like to do for the community. He stated they would like to have the indoor events for the community for more than 25 people for small office parties, for example.
Acting Chairman Horrell thanked all for their comments and opened the floor to the Commission for further comment.
In response to a question from Acting Chairman Horrell concerning the place and importance of events in their business model, Ms. Miarecki stated they have calculated events into the business plan as far as financial success is concerned, but their business is not dependent upon them. She noted they have been included because this has been asked of them even before they purchased the house. She stated she was asked about a wedding by someone as soon as she mentioned they were thinking of buying the house, noting this is a niche market and is needed in Woodstock. She emphasized it is not their wish to have large events on a weekly basis, but rather once a month and perhaps twice during the summer for a summer wedding.
Commissioner Fortin expressed his appreciation for what they are trying to do, but stated if he were a resident in this area he would expect it to be residential, while this request is bordering on commercial. He stated without adequate planning to resolve parking issues he is concerned, and opined perhaps it would be best to re-evaluate and bring the request back with parameters, noting he understands the concerns of the neighbors.

Acting Commissioner Horrell closed Public Comment at 8:16 PM.
Motion by D. Moore, second by R. Horrell, to approve the request for an amendment to the existing Special Use Permit for a Bed and Breakfast Inn at 344 Fremont Avenue to allow the subject property to be used for indoor and outdoor events and weddings in accordance with the terms and provisions of the City of Woodstock Unified Development Ordinance and other applicable ordinances of the City and adopting the findings that are in the Staff Report for the Special Use Permit criteria and with the following conditions:
1) Indoor events exceeding 25 persons are limited to six per year and outdoor events are limited to eight (8) per year and not more than two (2) per month. 2) Indoor events shall not exceed 60 attendees and outdoor events shall not exceed 160 attendees. 3) Any event that will exceed 120 attendees must provide valet or shuttle service using available parking lots. 4) Outdoor events are prohibited after 10:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays and after 9:00 PM Sunday through Thursday.
Discussion followed with Commissioner Gavers stating he would not have a problem with people remaining at outdoor events past 10:00 PM as they would do this if they were guests at someone’s home. He noted music could end at 10:00 PM, but stated he is not in favor of requiring the event to end at 10:00 PM. He suggested amending the motion to require the music to end at 10:00 PM, and the event to end by 11:00 PM. In response to a question from Commissioner Moore, Commissioner Gavers stated he is fine with the time limitations set for week-day events.
Discussion followed of the recommendation that Staff monitor the events. Mr. Napolitano stated the City will document complaints whether this is part of the approval or not, as this is standard procedure. He stated should there be any complaints, Staff will work with the owners in the normal course of business. In response to a question from Commissioner Moore as to whether Staff would discuss even those complaints that are in line with the permit, Mr. Napolitano stated they probably would in this case as known concerns have been expressed, which is also standard practice. Acting Commissioner Horrell noted for the record that the City has a normal protocol for handling complaints and addressing same with the owners.
As a result of the discussion, Commissioner Moore wished to amend his motion, and Acting Commissioner Horrell his second as follows:
Motion by D. Moore, second by R. Horrell, to approve the request for an amendment to the existing Special Use Permit for a Bed and Breakfast Inn at 344 Fremont Avenue to allow the subject property to be used for indoor and outdoor events and weddings in accordance with the terms and provisions of the City of Woodstock Unified Development Ordinance and other applicable ordinances of the City and adopting the findings that are in the Staff Report for the Special Use Permit criteria and with the following conditions:

Acting Chairman Horrell closed the Public Hearing at 8:33 PM. b) Public Hearing – Sign Variance for R & S Screen Printing, 739 McHenry Avenue Acting Chairman Horrell opened the Public Hearing at 8:36 PM, noting this is a Public Hearing on a sign variance for R & S Screen Printing, 739 McHenry Avenue.
A roll call was taken.
COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Donald Fortin, Donna Besler, Steve Gavers, Darrell Moore, Jackie Speciale, Erich Thurow, and Acting Chairman Robert Horrell.
COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT: Doreen Paluch and Katherine Parkhurst.
Acting Chairman Horrell confirmed the presence of a quorum.
Mr. Napolitano confirmed the Public Hearing was legally and properly noticed.
Petitioner Tim Reddin, 14315 US 14 and owner of R & S Screen Printing, was sworn in by City Attorney TJ Clifton.
Mr. Reddin stated he is present to request a variation to allow a pole-mounted ground sign that is 17.5 sq. ft. in area and 9.5 feet in height with no set-back from the Rt. 120 right-of-way line. He stated if he followed the guidelines in the City’s ordinance, his sign would be sitting in the middle of his parking lot and could not be seen because of the building to the east. He stated his wish to put his sign out to the property line so it can be seen. Mr. Reddin stated he has been in his building for six years and opined no one knows he is there.
Noting the conditions of granting a sign variation, Commissioner Speciale confirmed Mr. Reddin has done all he can to place the sign in compliance with the ordinance before requesting a variance. In response to a question from Commissioner Speciale, Mr. Reddin stated he determined the parameters of the sign using the City’s guidelines for minimum size. He stated he does not want anything bigger and only wishes to have people to see his business is there. Mr. Reddin stated the biggest problem is the building next to his sits on the property line on Rt. 120 while his building sits 30 feet back and described how this affects the sight line of people traveling past his business.
Mr. Reddin stated he placed a temporary sign and his sales increased 20% during the time it was in place, noting business dropped when he had to remove the sign.
Expressing concerns about illumination, Commissioner Speciale asked if there were residences in the area. Mr. Reddin stated there is one residence that is zoned commercial, noting no improvements to the residence can be made and it will have to be demolished if the current residents move. Commissioner Speciale opined an illuminated light could change the character of the street. Woodstock Plan Commission 10/26/17 Page 10 of 11
Commissioner Gavers noted the proposed placement of the sign would be in Mr. Reddin’s parking lot and asked if he considered another location. Following a discussion of another possible location, Mr. Reddin stated there is a three-foot easement and he was told he cannot put a sign at that location. Commissioner Moore confirmed this would essentially be putting a sign on his neighbor’s property. Commissioner Gavers noted the proposed location would not be attracting anyone coming into town and would cost Mr. Reddin a parking place. Discussion followed of another possible location with it being noted it would not be approved by IDOT.
Mr. Napolitano provided a copy of the plat and discussion ensued of the property lines. He confirmed Mr. Reddin’s sign could not be placed in the easement and showed where it is proposed to place the sign.
Commissioner Moore stated he visited the site and noted there seems to be no design for parking. Mr. Reddin described how people park.
Commissioner Gavers opined the sign will be a hazard looking west to pull out. He opined putting it to the west will still provide exposure and be less of a hazard.
Commissioner Besler opined this would be a waste of Mr. Reddin’s money because he would be catching the wrong customers. Mr. Reddin opined there is not much more he can do. He noted placing it elsewhere, other than in the easement, would eliminate 70% of his parking.
Discussion followed of alternatives with Mr. Reddin stating his belief the easement was put in place so that the neighboring business could build its building. Commissioner Thurow suggested looking at other options to get the sign further to the west, opining he does not see the point of putting it at the proposed location. He noted that is not up to the Commission, however, as everything seems to be within the ordinance.
Commissioner Fortin stated he has no problem with the request as presented, realizing there are difficulties.
Discussion followed of other possibilities, all of which would result in Mr. Reddin losing a significant portion of his parking.
In response to a question from Commissioner Moore as to whether Mr. Reddin would like to have the opportunity to explore other options, Mr. Reddin stated he feels he has explored all options.
Acting Chairman Horrell stated there is a request and a petitioner before the Commission, noting it is the job of the Commission to either grant or deny this request. He opined Mr. Reddin would not have made the request if he did not want to do this. He noted Mr. Reddin has already met with Staff and opined perhaps there is no other option.
In response to a question from Acting Chairman Horrell, Mr. Reddin stated he is comfortable with his request as some exposure would be better than none.
Acting Chairman Horrell opened the floor to Public Comment at 8:55 PM. There was none.
Acting Chairman Horrell closed the floor to Public Comment at 8:55 PM.
Woodstock Plan Commission 10/26/17 Page 11 of 11
In response to a question from Commissioner Moore concerning the parking requirements, Mr. Napolitano stated the petitioner is possibly non-compliant regarding parking based on the size of the building and would probably lose at least two more spaces should the sign be moved to another location. He stated it would be preferable to place the sign in the requested location rather than lose parking.
Motion by D. Fortin, second by E. Thurow, to recommend a variation of the Unified Development Ordinance, Section 13.8.2, ground signs, to allow a ground sign that is 17.5 sq. ft. in area, 9.5 ft. in height with a zero setback at 739 McHenry Avenue based on Findings of Fact as presented in the Staff Report and adopting the Staff Report as presented.
Commissioner Moore stated he suspects a variation would be required wherever the sign is placed and stated he would support the petitioner’s request because the variation is required for the business, noting the very unusual circumstances of the property.
A roll call vote was taken. Ayes: D. Fortin, D. Besler, S Gavers, D. Moore, J. Speciale, E. Thurow, and Acting Chairman R. Horrell. Nays: none. Abstentions: none. Absentees: D. Paluch and K. Parkhurst. Motion carried.
Acting Chairman Horrell closed the Public Hearing at 9:00 PM.
4. DISCUSSION Mr. Napolitano gave a brief update on Lake Marine noting compliance is expected within the terms and conditions of the Special Use Permit. Discussion followed with the Commission expressing the need for landscaping to be placed before bad weather. In response to a question from Acting Chairman Horrell, Mr. Napolitano confirmed the business owners are aware the Special Use Permit can be rescinded.
5. ADJOURN Motion by S. Gavers, second by E. Thurow, to adjourn this regular meeting of the Woodstock Plan Commission to the next regular meeting on Thursday, December 7, 2017, in the Council Chambers at Woodstock City Hall. Ayes: D. Besler, D. Fortin, S. Gavers, D. Moore, J. Speciale, E. Thurow, and Acting Chairman R. Horrell. Nays: none. Abstentions: none. Absentees: D. Paluch and K. Parkhurst. Motion carried.

Re: Fleet Maintenance Division Monthly Report – October 2017

October was the first full month the division Workload had the opportunity to use the shop since July. 1% 1% 1% Having access to the shop and equipment Streets improved efficiency enough to start catching up 6% Police on deferred tasks. Staff caught up on overdue 12% 41% Fleet services, winter upfitting and inspections of CDL Water Div dump trucks and completion of the leaf 19% Parks machine seasonal repairs. Staff completed ninety-nine tasks, up from September’s CED 19% seventy-eight. Water Treatment
One of the largest tasks in the shop in October was wrapping up the move into the shop. Staff moved the hardware bins into the fleet area and worked with local vendors to update material storage cabinets. As things moved back into the shop, staff took the opportunity to reorganize parts and materials to make efficient use of the small space. To protect the new floors and aid in cleaning, fleet is trying out snap-lock flooring underneath heavy equipment like the band saw and the tire machines. This flooring supports the weight of the equipment and elevates it above the new floor. The decking has water channels to shed water as the floors are washed, reducing the chance of standing water corroding the equipment mounting feet or collecting debris beneath the machine.
Recent old age is catching up with some of the Police Department’s LED light bars. While purchased initially through a state contract for under $1,000, recent out-of-warranty light head failures is cause for concern. In October, fleet replaced three of these light head assemblies, each costing approximately $250 each. Each light bar contains approximately twenty-four of these light heads. 5
City of
Department of Public Works 815/338-6118 326 Washington St. fax 815/334-2263 Woodstock, Illinois 60098 www.woodstockil.gov
Fleet made the vehicle sergeant aware of the issue, as well as notified the chiefs. Fleet is monitoring ongoing repairs needed to determine if costs grow to the point of complete light bar replacement.
Staff worked to get all three leaf machines inspected and final repairs completed before the leaf collection season began during the last week in October. Final repairs included the replacement of sixteen tires on the two older machines, while retaining four of the best tires for future use. Machines had first day jitters as usual, coming back for a range of small problems such as slow hydraulics or rattles. The biggest first day hurdle came when one of the machines returned with a loud banging sound. Staff previously replaced the main bearing assembly on the machine and operators suspected the bearing might have failed again. Initial testing and stethoscope of the rotating assembly proved this was not the case, although staff could not initially duplicate the operating concerns. After sending the machine out to operate with a fleet chase truck, and noticing a heat mark on the backside of the impellor housing, technicians found that the housing had shifted. The combined suction of the machine and the negative pressure created with incoming debris caused the housing to flex far enough inward to make contact with the impellor, causing the noise and the heat mark. Staff loosened the engine mounting hardware and repositioned the engine deeper into the housing to alleviate the concern.
Fleet took delivery of a new Peterbilt plow truck in October. This is the City’s first Peterbilt, which is a departure from the currently all-International Public Works’ truck fleet. Newer model engines coupled with more stringent emissions, has decreased the reliability of International models. Woodstock is not alone in this endeavor, as a large amount of municipalities has also made the move away from International. Peterbilt has many features which lend to a longer service life as a plow vehicle, consisting of an all-aluminum cab, easy access to common engine components, full length door hinges, no wiper cowl to collect snow and ice, and a smaller cab with wedge hood that improve visibility. This is also the first CDL dump truck to have an air-bag rear suspension that

An added benefit of the air bags is the cost and ease of replacement. Traditional leaf springs are costly and require the majority of a day to remove and replace, whereas the bags are relatively cheap and held in with eight bolts. Bonnell completed the plow upfitting and added a stainless steel dump body to compliment the corrosion resistant aluminum cab. Staff completed post summer season inspections and snow preparations to trucks 10, 11 and 19 during October, removing dirt and gravel conveyors to install spreader pans. Staff replaced corroded transmission cooler lines and two oil pans on trucks that displayed signs of corrosion leading to drips. Technicians replaced oil pans with aftermarket fabricated stainless steel oil pans that resist corrosion that can occur in harsh environments. Once the work was complete, all trucks received a treatment of fluid film coating to help shed water and corrosive chemicals during the snow season.

Parks The contractor will replace shingles on the roof at City Hall at his own cost. The shingles will be a closer match to the existing shingles. The Emricson Park shop roof will be replaced this year, weather permitting. If not this year, contractually by March 2018. Staff is in the process of reconstructing the infield on the Dream Field. The baseball field was graded to the proper pitch to ensure proper drainage. The mound and home plate were rebuilt to the proper specifications. Two (2) weighted infield covers were purchased for the Dream Field. The first one was a weighted, 18-foot diameter cover for the pitcher’s mound. The mound was rebuilt using clay bricks, mound clay and infield mix. It was recommended that we protect our new mound by keeping the clay moist, before and after games. The weighted mound cover the city purchased achieves this goal. In the past, sand bags were used to weigh the tarps down, and over time, the bags would weather and tear becoming less effective. By purchasing a weighted cover, this eliminates the use of sand bags. The second weighted cover purchased is 30-foot in diameter and covers the entire home plate area. Along with keeping the clay base moist, it will eliminate standing water from rain, which can damage the area. Community Plumbing is scheduled to winterize the Woodstock Water Works Facility on Friday, November 3rd. Billy’s Custom Flooring is scheduled to begin the resurfacing of the Woodstock Water Works men’s locker room floor on Tuesday, November 7th. The floor is cracked in multiple areas due to movement in the concrete foundation. The entire floor will be diamond ground and the cracks and joints saw cut and filled with flex material. One coat of polyuria will be applied, followed by a final ‘sand beige’ color top coat with the addition of grit for texture. The city approved Furst Concrete Solutions Inc. to re-caulk the seams in both the zero depth and lap pools at the Water Works Facility. This work is scheduled to be completed by November 1st.

Pothole Patching / Asphalt Repair During the month of October, staff used just over fifty- (50) ton of hot mix asphalt to fill potholes on City streets, as well as larger asphalt patches. Staff heats, and/or keeps the material at the appropriate temperature in a tow-behind propane-fired cart, shovels the material into potholes, compacting the material using either a hand-tamper or a vibra-plate. Three to four men crews handle this task as often as possible to maintain and improve roadway quality, as well as in response to resident requests.
Street Sweeping During October, staff continued sweeping the Historic Woodstock Square twice a week during the early morning hours on Monday and Friday. The graph below shows the loads of sweepings removed, by route, for FY 17/18 thus far. Note the Square as an outlier as staff attends to this route twice a week. Also during October, contractual services with Gavers allowed for the removal and proper disposal of seven loads of sweepings, totaling 140.45 ton, bringing the FY total to 338.81 ton.

Sidewalk Removal & Replacement Program Staff continued the annual Sidewalk removal program during October, removing and replacing 101 lineal feet of sidewalk. This program encompasses either the repair, or removal and replacement of sections of concrete sidewalk and/or curb. The following areas received attention:
1913 Yasgur Drive 319 Dean Street 556 Gerry Street
Railing Maintenance During October, staff concluded all railing and light pole maintenance on the Square. This maintenance included scraping, priming and painting thirty-six (36) railings in the defined downtown area, as well as the decorative clamshell bases of thirty-one (31) light posts.
Storm Sewer Intake Repairs During October, staff continued the annual task of attending to storm sewer intakes in need of maintenance. During the winter, these structures move with the rise and fall of frost lines putting additional stress on mortar joints. This movement results in flaking of older mortar, allowing ground water to seep into the structure. When rain arrives, the suction created by water moving through these structures causes damage at all weakened joints, which in turn require repairs. These repairs may include tuck-pointing, rebuilding damaged portions of the structure, or completely rebuilding the structure from base to surface. Structures on Halma Lane and at the corner of Irving Avenue & IL Route 47 received attention during the month of October.
Benton Street Boardwalk – Takedown Staff completed the deconstruction of the Boardwalk on Benton dining pads during October. It was necessary to close down the affected portion of Benton St so that traffic and/or parked vehicles did not impede employee movement. Four employees over the course of four full days broke down each individual pad piece-by-piece, hauling each to a remote storage site. Staff took diligent notes over the course of this process to ensure the efficient, accurate set up for each location next spring. 11

Date: October 7, 2017
South Plant 169,065 gallons of liquid sludge produced and 192,000 hauled to the north side plant and held in storage until land application. Division employees continue to update the industrial inventories that contribute to the south side facility. In April, we sent a survey to all businesses and now follow up phone calls are being made to update the industrial inventory spreadsheet. This is a requirement in the renewed south plant permit. Division employees also are sampling at various locations that contribute to the south side facility and are testing for total phosphorus. Division employees scraped the old paint from the electrical cabinet by the fine screen and repainted the cabinet. Division employees worked on the #1 influent pump. Division employees took apart the #3 blower and replaced the bearings. All other activity was routine in nature, preventive maintenance on equipment, buildings and grounds, and plant operation.
North Plant Collected and analyzed samples from the discharge pipe outside of the Claussen Pickle Plant. Division employees worked with Baxter & Woodman to ensure the samples collected and industrial surveys were completed properly. Division employees took apart the upper housing on the #5 aerator. Once the housing was apart, bearings were ordered and the housing itself was sent out for repair. With four aerators drained and off line, division employees took the opportunity to remove all rags and debris from the four aerators. They filled six 55-gallon drums with garbage. Division employees disassembled the gearbox and stem on the #2 screw pump after the stem broke. Lakeside Equipment was on site to assist, and parts have been ordered. Once replaced, the integrity of the lower bearings will be inspected. 15

Water Treatment Update Softener #2 at the Seminary plant is currently undergoing repair. It is necessary to have new brackets, for lateral support, welded on the inside of the softener. The internal coating was also in very poor condition and therefore, recoated. Once the paint cures, which takes approximately seventy-two hours, the media will be added and the softener can be backwashed and put back into service. These repairs will have been completed at the time this report is published.
All CIP improvements at the Lake Avenue elevated storage tank have been completed, except the installation of the air bubbler mixing system. The contractor is awaiting approved plans from the IEPA prior to installation. As soon as the plans are approved, the bubbler will be installed.

Memo To: Roscoe Stelford, City Manager From: Garrett Anderson, Economic Development Director Jeff Van Landuyt, Public Works Director
Date: November 15, 2017 Re: Ordinance Revising Weight Restrictions for Irving Avenue
The Pavement Management Task Force has recommended that weight restrictions be put in place on certain roads, in cases where the current heavy truck traffic exceeds the designed capacity. This continual traffic flow will cause damage to the roadway over time, which can be avoided when and if alternative routes are available.
The current City Code Section regarding Truck Routes (Schedule VI of Section 5.3.6.A) designates the section of Irving Avenue between Highway 120 and Highway 47 as a truck route, meaning that truck traffic in Woodstock is intended to stay on these streets only, unless making a delivery. This includes our primary collector streets, such as Lake, and McConnell. Section C of the same portion of the City Code restricts various local roads from truck traffic, noting that no truck over 8 tons (16,000 lbs.) should be operating on these roads. This includes roads such as Clay, Greenwood, Pleasant, South and Dean that are used as collectors of passenger vehicles, but are not intended for heavy trucks. The proposed ordinance would remove this section of Irving from the Truck Routes list, and add it to the Weight Limits list. There is an existing and erroneous reference to Irving in the code, which refers to the intersection of Irving and Edgewood Dr. This language is also being removed, as this is not a correct intersection reference.
A public hearing was held at the November 7th City Council meeting, in which no negative feedback was presented. Prior to the meeting approximately 70 letters were mailed to local businesses, informing them of the hearing, and inviting them to provide feedback, especially if the change would negatively impact their business. These businesses included local trucking companies, manufacturing businesses, and retailers near the affected roadway. Prior to the meeting, staff heard back from five businesses. None of them indicated that this would have a negative impact on their business operations, although some did indicate that they use this route because the turning radius was smaller at Irving than at the stop-lighted intersection of Route 47 and Route 120.
The feedback that had been received before the public hearing was provided to the Council that same evening. Only one more business owner has commented since then; Jamie Ahrens, the President of Peet Frate Line. He emailed to let us know that their business is primarily to the south, and noted “I do not feel that this will impact our operations much at all” and “The cost savings of road repairs outweighs the inconvenience for the drivers.”
Recommendation:
If Council concurs, then a motion to approve the attached Ordinance, identified as Document #:______, which removes this section of Irving Ave, between Illinois Route 120 and Illinois Route 47 from the list of designated truck routes, and add this same section to the list of streets with a weight limit, would be appropriate.

TO: Roscoe C. Stelford III, City Manager FROM: Garrett Anderson, Economic Development Director RE: Weight Restrictions Feedback
In preparation for the November 7th Public Hearing on the topic, staff mailed almost 70 letters to local businesses that may be affected by the potential truck weight limits on Irving Ave. These included locally-registered trucking companies, manufacturing companies, and some of the retail businesses closest to Irving Ave. To date, these are the responses we have received: Gordon Botts – Botts Welding & Truck Service - He did not think this restriction would have any impact to his business. However, he did assert that the reason that trucks take Irving is not entirely as a “shortcut.” The turning radius on both ends of Irving are only 45º, rather than 90º at Route 120 and Route 47. He believes that we will see more accidents as large trucks try to make a right onto 120, or a left onto Route 47. His recommendation would be to upgrade Irving to handle the trucks. Sandra Pierce – Phoenix Woodworking - She emailed to say “I think the weight restriction on Irving Avenue is a great idea since this area has always seemed unstable.” I believe she is referring to the ground around Irving, which is primarily peat bog. In fact, much of Irving Ave lies within a flood plain. Digger Gavers – Gavers Excavating - He said that a lot of their guys use it today, but it would not be a problem to ask them to change. They use it now, because the turning is easier onto and off of Irving. If we do a weight restriction, we could design it high enough that the empty trucks could still use it, but ask the fully-loaded ones to go to the stoplight at 47/120. Patricia Miller – Matrix IV - She did not think that the restriction would have any impact on her business. She did want to clarify that we are only talking about the area north of the intersection of Irving/Judd/Route 47. If it were the short section of Irving to the south, this would directly affect her warehouse operations. In this case, we are only talking about the area on Irving Ave. between Route 47 and Route 120. Don Freeman – D&D Transport Solutions - Don said that Irving is currently listed on the trucking maps as a “side road.” He said that a lot of small operations like his will use these State Routes to avoid the tolls on I-90. The intersection of Route 120 and Route 47 is not truck friendly, in particular the right turn from Route 47 onto Route 120. He recommended that it would be more cost-effective to upgrade Irving Road to handle 40 tons, rather than make a roundabout at 47/120. That being said, he
did not believe that this would directly affect his business, as he is always empty when he comes back into Woodstock.

Re: Consideration of an Ordinance Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between Various Partner Agencies and Townships for General Public Dial-A-Ride Transit Service in 2018
Date: November 14, 2017
For a number of years, the City Council has authorized the execution of an intergovernmental agreement providing for the consolidation of Dial-A-Ride services between McHenry County, Crystal Lake, McHenry, and the City of Woodstock utilizing Pace Suburban Bus. This consolidated service allowed the City to expand service hours, maintain fares and benefit from federal grant funding, while at the same time lowering the costs paid by the City’s taxpayers. This agreement has proven to be mutually-beneficial to all parties; however, the original agreement requires formal City Council review and approval each year prior to the beginning of McHenry County’s fiscal year.
The McHenry County Department of Transportation anticipates that the McHenry County Board will execute a new agreement to provide these services at their meeting on December 29, 2017. The new agreement will have an effective date of January 1, 2018 and an end date of December 31, 2018.
The Woodstock City Council and the other partner agencies must now review and consider approving the attached agreement in order for it to remain in effect. The proposed agreement is in substantial conformance with the current agreement in that the City of Woodstock will pay a fixed amount per capita based upon the 2010 decennial census. In addition, there was a small fare increase to riders instituted at the beginning of April 2017, to help offset the cost of providing these transportation services.
In 2018, the Public Transportation Advisory Committee (PTAC), of which the City holds a seat on, voted to institute a sliding scale for annual member contributions in order to make MCRide more accessible for all McHenry County Communities taking into account their individual financial situations. The sliding scale allows local contributions to be based on population for
Woodstock is proud to have been recognized as a 2007 Distinctive Destination by the National Trust for Historic Preservation townships, and a community need and population based formula for municipalities. The municipal formula is a slightly modified version of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) municipal-need rating system which factors in median income, tax base/capita, total tax base and population. This sliding scale structure resulted in a slight decrease of $2,719 to the City of Woodstock for participation in this program and it opened the door for the Village of Richmond and the Townships of McHenry, Riley, Marengo, Chemung, and Richmond to join in for the purpose of improving dial-a-ride transit services in McHenry County.
The City’s continued participation in this consolidation will allow the residents to maintain several benefits derived on behalf of these services. One major benefit remains expanded capacity for the local Dial-A-Ride services and enhanced operational efficiencies of taxpayer resources between governmental jurisdictions. Specifically, the local dial-a-ride systems gain access to additional capacity by using buses servicing the County’s intercommunity system that may be underutilized and are available to provide local rides.
The County is currently responsible for negotiating PACE agreements for all partner agencies and townships that highlight the importance of our service area and generate additional allocations for these programs from PACE. Furthermore, the County has been able to secure federal grant funds to reduce certain existing costs being incurred by the member communities and to offset any costs related to consolidating these agreements through the County.
City staff has reviewed the proposed agreement and is satisfied with the contract as presented. The City Administration will continue to work with the County’s Department of Transportation and PACE staff to monitor and oversee the City’s Dial-A-Ride program. Overall, the savings generated on behalf of the residents have been significant and the consolidation efforts have allowed the City to provide expanded public transit services.
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Ordinance, identified as Document # ______, authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the attached Intergovernmental Agreement that provides for the continued consolidation of the City’s Dial-A-Ride program with the County’s system.
The most current MCRide ridership data has been attached to this staff report for your review. Note that the attached Agreement is 24 pages long, but only pages 1 thru 6 and page 11 are attached. The remaining pages are signature pages from other municipalities and townships. Once all signature pages are signed and approved by each agency, the entire document will be brought to the McHenry County Board for approval and a full copy of the agreement will be forwarded to the City for its files.

Re: Award of Annual Contract for the Purchase of Liquid Alum for Phosphorus Reduction at the Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant
Date: November 13, 2017
Liquid Alum (aluminum sulfate) is used at the City’s Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant as part of the treatment process to reduce phosphorous in the final effluent. The City receives Alum in quantities of approximately 4,500-gallons; ordering as many as 14 truckloads annually to remain in compliance with the limits specified through its NPDES permit. Alum is ordered on an “as needed” basis and the City only pays for the actual quantities delivered.
Recently, the Department of Public Works solicited bids for an annual contract to supply and deliver Liquid Alum to the Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant during calendar year 2018. On Friday, November 10, the following bids were received:
Bidder Unit Price Affinity Chemical, LLC $269.00 per dry ton Dallas, TX
USALCO Michigan City Plant, LLC $305.97 per dry ton Baltimore, MD
Chemtrade Chemicals US LLC $346.00 per dry ton Parsippany, NJ
In reviewing the bids received, the apparent low bidder is Affinity Chemical, LLC, Dallas, TX. Affinity Chemical satisfactorily provided Alum to the City for all of calendar year 2017 and the City has been satisfied with their product and service. The unit bid price received for proposed services in 2018 is 2.2% less than the unit bid price the City paid for Alum in 2017.
The approved FY17/18 Wastewater Treatment budget includes $70,000 in line item #60-51-6-607 for treatment chemicals. This budget line item was calculated based on the calendar year 2017’s projected use and contract unit price. Therefore, there are adequate funds available in the FY17/18 budget to cover the costs to purchase the estimated quantity needed to maintain compliance with IEPA regulations.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Administration ♦ Parks ♦ Street Maintenance ♦ Engineering Sewer & Water Conveyance ♦ Water Treatment ♦ Wastewater Treatment Therefore, it is recommended that a contract for the purchase and delivery of liquid alum be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, Affinity Chemical LLC, Dallas, TX, at the unit bid price of $269.00 per dry ton for all purchases throughout calendar year 2018.

Re: Resolution Adopting McHenry County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan
Date: November 15, 2017
In 2010, McHenry County created a Hazard Mitigation Planning Team with representatives from McHenry County, municipalities, townships, and other stakeholders to prepare its first Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. Once the plan was completed, the Woodstock City Council approved a resolution acknowledging that it would support the plan and as much as possible, work within its guidelines to protect itself and McHenry County as a whole in the event of a “natural hazard.” The plan is intended to prepare communities and government agencies for the impacts of natural disasters and to better prepare for emergency response if needed.
During the 2010 development of this plan, the Mitigation Committee put substantial effort into reviewing each strategy to understand the needs of the county. This previous work was recently refreshed and McHenry County spearheaded an update of this plan in 2016. The development and adoption of this Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan allows communities to be eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant program funds.
The McHenry County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan Executive Summary is attached to summarize the Plan and to provide additional information. The entire document is available for viewing on the McHenry County website at http://www.co.mchenry.il.us/county- government/departments-a-i/emergency-management/hazard-mitigation-planning.
The Plan provides information and recommendations for hazard mitigation that could be utilized by Woodstock as well as allowing Woodstock to comply with state and federal mandates that would make our community eligible to apply for federal funding to assist with hazard mitigation efforts. In order for Woodstock to utilize this document and to be eligible for any future funding related to hazard mitigation, the City Council must formally adopt the Plan and submit confirmation to McHenry County, IEMA, and also FEMA.
The standard adoption Resolution format provided by McHenry County (used by IEMA and FEMA) identifies a total of 32 recommended action items for consideration. Some of these action items are to be completed and/or administered by McHenry County, and those items are identified accordingly on the proposed Resolution. The remaining action items are to be considered by the City and assigned to the City if appropriate. The City can also elect not to include any of the recommended action items by indicating ‘no action’ next to that item.
Attached is a more detailed description of each of the action items and an explanation of what would be included.
It is recommended that the attached Resolution, identified as Document No. ______, be approved adopting the McHenry County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan as an official Plan of the City of Woodstock.
If approved by the City of Woodstock, adoption of the Plan does not obligate the City to complete any of the recommendations identified in the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan or identified in the resolution adopting the Plan for Woodstock. Neither would the City be penalized in any way if progress is not made on all of the recommended action items. It is also important to note that the Plan and any funding that might be available through the utilization of this Plan in the future would be for hazard mitigation efforts, not for disaster response. Even if the City does not adopt the Plan, the City, our residents, and property owners would still be eligible for disaster relief if a formal disaster is declared under the State and/or Federal regulations in place for that event.
c: Chief Lieb Sgt. Wesolek
Action Item 1: Plan Adoption Adopt this McHenry County Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan by resolution of the County Board, City Councils, Boards of Trustees, and other governing boards, as appropriate. Each agency resolutions should adopt the action items pertinent to the community and assign a person responsible.
Responsible Agency: County Board, City Councils, Village Boards, Boards of Trustees, and other agencies.
Deadline: 6 months.
Cost: Staff time.
Benefits: Adoption of the Plan ensures that County, municipalities, townships and other agencies are authorized to implement the action items with available resources. Adoption is also a requirement for recognition of the Plan by mitigation funding programs, including the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, the FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance Program and the National Flood Insurance Program’s Community Rating System.
Action Item 2: Continuation of Mitigation Committee The County’s resolution to adopt this Plan should convert the McHenry County Hazards Mitigation Committee to a permanent advisory body. It should: – Act as a forum for hazard mitigation issues, – Disseminate hazard mitigation ideas and activities to all participants, – Allow for continued public participation in the implementation and future revisions, – Ensure incorporation of this Plan’s goals and guidelines into other planning documents, – Monitor implementation of this Action Plan, and – Report on progress and recommended changes to the County Board and each municipality and township.
Responsible Agency: The McHenry County Board.
Deadline: Ongoing.
Cost: Staff time.
Benefits: The benefit is better implementation of this Plan, plus a more comprehensive mitigation program in McHenry County. This approach also provides a mechanism for continued public involvement (e.g., Mitigation Committee activities posted on the County web site).
Plan Reference: Chapters 1 and 10.
Action Item 3: Plan Monitoring and Maintenance A McHenry County Hazard Mitigation Committee meeting will be held at least once a year to evaluate and monitor progress on implementation. This meeting will be publicized in print and on the County and community web sites (the public will be welcome to attend and/or comment). An annual evaluation report should be submitted to the County Board by the chair of the Mitigation Committee. At the annual meeting, along with an assessment of the implementation efforts, the Mitigation Committee will determine if other mitigation issues or efforts, based on any natural hazard occurrences or input from communities or the public, should be added to the Plan.
The Plan is required by FEMA to be updated every five years. Every five years, or if any substantial revisions to the Plan are recommended to the Action Plan in any year, the Plan must be adopted by the County Board and the participating communities.
Responsible Agency: McHenry County Hazard Mitigation Committee and McHenry County EMA.
Deadline: Mitigation Committee meetings are to occur annually. Evaluation reports are to be prepared annually. A five-year update is required for FEMA’s mitigation funding programs.
Cost: Staff time.
Benefits: A monitoring system helps ensure that responsible agencies continue to be aware of their assignments. The Plan should be evaluated in light of progress, changed conditions, and new opportunities.
Plan Reference: Chapters 1 and 10.
Action Item 4: Watershed Studies McHenry County should pursue comprehensive watershed studies. This effort will foster the understanding of impact of development on existing flood problems and identify ways to reduce future flood problems. Watershed studies should also evaluate wetlands and water quality impacts of development and other activities in McHenry County.
Responsible agency: McHenry County.
Deadline: 36 months.
Cost: $500,000 estimate.
Benefits: All residents will benefit from the understanding of the County’s watersheds, and this effort will allow for a cost-effective approach to addressing existing and future flood problems. Efforts will provide for the protection of property, reduced transportation disruption, and improved health and safety during minor and major flood events.
Plan Reference: Chapter 6 discussion and recommendation 1 in Section 6.8.
Action Item 5: Expand Stream Gaging Network McHenry County should pursue the installation and maintenance of additional stream gages throughout the county. Additional assistance should be sought from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Geological Survey for funding and technical assistance.
Responsible agency: McHenry County.
Deadline: 12 months.
Cost: $50,000 estimate.
Benefits: The availability of more extensive river stage data will benefit the County in a number of ways. These benefits include, better calibration data for the development of watershed models (studies), improved flood forecasting, and additional data for operation of Stratton Dam.
Plan Reference: Chapter 6 discussion, Chapter 8 discussion and recommendation 12 in Section 8.8.
Action Item 6: Stream Maintenance Programs The County, municipalities, and townships should develop and implement formal and regular drainage system maintenance programs. This effort should include the inspection of privately maintained drainage facilities. It is understood that each municipality and township will make these considerations based on available staffing and financial resources. Both urban and rural streams are in need of maintenance Also, bridges and culverts (active or abandoned) that restrict flood flows should be evaluated. The removal or enlargement of stream crossings, in cases were a modification will not cause an increase in downstream flooding, should be considered and funded.
Responsible Agency: McHenry County, municipalities and townships. This can include public works departments, township road districts, or other appropriate departments or offices.
Deadline: 36 months.
Cost: Staff time and equipment.
Benefits: Development and agriculture have lead to a reduction of stream capacity, and upstream flooding as a result may be increasing. A restoration of stream capacity may mitigate upstream damage, and enhance stream and water quality. Regular maintenance can protect both structures and property. Regular maintenance can also be more cost effective than major maintenance efforts that are done on an as-needed basis.
Plan Reference: Chapter 6 discussion and recommendation 5 in Section 6.8.
Action Item 7: Prohibited Waterway Dumping Ordinances Each community should ensure that they have enforceable stream and wetland dumping ordinances. Regulations should apply to both “objectionable waste” and “nonobjectionable”
materials such as grass clippings and tree branches. Communities they do not have stream and wetland dumping ordinances should adopt appropriate regulations.
Responsible agency: McHenry County and municipalities.
Deadline: 36 months.
Cost: Community specific.
Benefits: Keeping streams, including drainage ditches, free of debris and dumped material benefits the stream’s ability to convey water, reduced erosion and sedimentation, protects the riparian environment, protects water quality, and can reduce flood damage.
Plan Reference: Chapter 7 discussion and recommendation 1 in Section 7.10.
Action Item 8: Mitigation of Public Infrastructure Mitigation of public infrastructure, including roadways, bridges and culverts, and treatment facilities, for protection from natural hazards should be investigated as the facility or asset is being considered for repair, replacement or expansion. When possible, improvements should incorporate protecting the natural functions of the streams and floodplains, if located in a floodplain.
Responsible agency: McHenry County, municipalities and townships.
Deadline: As funding available.
Cost: Project specific.
Benefits: Regional solutions to flood problems are often more cost beneficial that the mitigation of individual buildings. Also, when flooding on streets and the overtopping of bridges is reduced, then the entire community benefits. Transportation damages are reduced and safety is improved.
Plan Reference: Chapter 6 discussion (including Table 6-1) and recommendation 2 under Section 6.8.
Action Item 9: Continued NFIP Compliance Municipalities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) should ensure that they are in full compliance with the NFIP administration and enforcement requirements. While the McHenry County Planning and Development Department administers the McHenry County Comprehensive Stormwater Ordinance for non-certified municipalities, all NFIP municipalities are still ultimately responsible for ensuring that development within the regulatory floodplain meets the NFIP minimum standards.
Responsible Agency: McHenry County Planning and Development Department and municipal NFIP Administrators.
Deadline: Ongoing.
Cost: Staff time.
Benefits: Community compliance with the NFIP is essential
Plan Reference: Chapter 4, discussion and recommendation 4 in Section 4.8.
Action Item 10: Repetitive Loss Areas Study Repetitive flood loss areas (identified as part of this Plan) should be studied and mitigation alternatives, such as acquisition, elevation or floodproofing, identified and investigated for the structures. The County or municipalities should seek a mitigation planning grant as needed for preparing the repetitive loss areas studies.
Responsible agency: McHenry County Planning and Development Department with the cooperation of municipalities with properties included in the repetitive loss areas.
Deadline: 24 months.
Cost: $100,000.
Benefits: Property owners subject to repetitive flood losses will directly benefit from this action as they learn of ways that they can protect themselves from future flood damage. This effort will also lead to the request for FEMA funding for mitigation measures within the repetitive flood loss areas, and the removal or protection of repetitive flood loss structures will benefit all levels of government and the National Flood Insurance Fund.
Plan Reference: Chapter 2, Section 2.5.2; and Chapter 5 discussion and recommendations 2 and 4 in Section 5.7.
Action Item 11: Identification of Floodplain Structures: In addition to examining repetitively flood loss areas, a comprehensive list of structures located in the County’s floodplains should be developed. Through GIS and examining building footprints, the numbers and types of structures in the floodplain can be determined. The list should include critical facilities that potentially need flood protection. Responsible Agency: McHenry County Planning and Development and GIS Division.
Deadline: 36 months.
Cost: $100,000.
Benefits: The countywide stormwater management program and hazard mitigation effort would benefit from a full picture of the number of McHenry County floodplain properties. Appropriate property protection measures could be better identified through this information. Also, having this information would allow municipalities to provide public information materials directly to these property owners.
Plan Reference: Chapters 4, 5 and 8 discussions, and recommendation 7 in Section 8.8.
Action Item 12: Investigation of Critical Facilities An investigation/analysis of the critical facilities mapped in the County’s GIS as part of this Plan should be conducted to determine if buildings or facilities are located in hazardous locations (floodplains or otherwise). Additional critical facility data should be collected and added to the GIS layers. Emergency managers should provide input on mapping and data formats that would enhance emergency preparedness, response and recovery in the county. The investigation should also identify critical facilities that should be protected from identified natural hazards.
Responsible Agency: McHenry County.
Deadline: 24 months.
Cost: $100,000.
Benefits: This review of critical facilities and any mitigation efforts will benefit McHenry County through preparedness, response and recovery.
Plan Reference: Chapter 8 and recommendation 2 in Section 8.8.
Action Item 13: Critical Facilities Design with Natural Hazards Protection Offices responsible for design, construction or permitting critical facilities, including federal, state, county and municipal agencies, and institutions should ensure that the design or modification of critical facilities accounts for all natural hazards and adjacent land uses. Critical facilities in the floodplain should be protected to the 500-year flood event.
Responsible agency: County, municipal, townships, and federal and state agencies responsible for critical facilities.
Deadline: Ongoing.
Cost: Staff time.
Benefits: This Plan expanded the list of critical facilities to include school, places of assembly, and other assets that are significant in the county during times of natural disasters. These may be shelters, or places of concentrated populations. If these facilities are better protected, then the risk for life, health and safety is reduced.
Plan Reference: Chapter 5 discussion and recommendation 4 in Section 5.7, and Chapter 8 discussion and recommendation 2 in Section 8.8.
Action Item 14: Mitigation of Floodplain Properties - Property Protection Projects Properties that are exposed to flood damage throughout McHenry County should be protected through property protection measures where regional structural projects are not feasible. Property protection measures should include, but not be limited to, acquisition, elevation, or floodproofing. Priority should be given to repetitive loss properties, but all floodplain properties including critical facilities should be included.
Responsible Agency: McHenry County Stormwater Management Division, municipal stormwater administrators and NFIP coordinators.
Deadline: Ongoing.
Cost: Identified per project.
Benefits: Properties will be protected from future flooding. Also the exposure of the National Flood Insurance Fund will be reduced. There will also be a reduction in emergency response as structures are protected or removed from flood prone areas.
Plan Reference: Chapter 5 discussion and recommendations 4 and in Section 5.7.
Action Item 15: Safe Rooms The need for additional safe rooms throughout the county should be considered, including safe rooms and sheltering in residences, businesses, critical facilities, health care facilities, and schools. As needs are identified, grant funding should be pursued for the construction of safe rooms.
Responsible agency: McHenry County, municipalities, townships and institutions.
Deadline: 36 months.
Cost: Staff time (plus grant cost share).
Benefits: McHenry County is vulnerable to tornado events. With the construction of safe rooms, life and safety can be protected.
Plan Reference: Chapter 5 discussion and recommendations 13 and 14 Section 5.7.
Action Item 16: Community Rating System Participation McHenry County and the municipalities that participate in the NFIP should consider participating in the Community Rating System (CRS). The Village of Lake in the Hills already participates in CRS, and they should also continue their participation.
Responsible Agency: McHenry County Planning and Development and municipal NFIP administrators.
Deadline: Ongoing.
Cost: Staff time.
Benefits: The CRS program saves property owners money on flood insurance premiums and it has been shown to be effective for the implementation of stormwater and floodplain management. McHenry County and the municipalities enforce higher regulatory standards than FEMA and participate in many creditable CRS activities.
Plan Reference: Chapter 1, and throughout the Plan (see CRS icons and comments). Also
see recommendation 11 in Section 4.8.
Action Item 17: Urban Forestry - Participation in Tree City USA McHenry County municipalities that are Tree City USA communities will maintain their status in the nationwide program, and communities that are not in the program will consider joining the program. It is understood that each municipality will make these considerations based on available staffing and financial resources.
Responsible Agency: Public works department or other appropriate municipal department.
Deadline: 24 months.
Cost: $2 per capita, staff time.
Benefits: Urban forestry programs provide mitigation against severe winter and summer storms, and high wind events. The loss of trees is prevented along with the protection of power, telephone and cable services. Damage to vehicles and buildings from falling limbs is also prevented.
Plan Reference: Chapter 7 discussion and recommendations 8 in Section 7.10.
Action Item 18: Participation in StormReady McHenry County, communities and other agencies should consider joining the National Weather Service’s StormReady program. The StormReady program has been developed to provide communities guidelines to improve the timeliness and effectiveness of hazardous weather-related warnings for the public.
Responsible Agency: County, municipal, other agency, and institutional emergency managers.
Deadline: 24 months.
Cost: $2 per capita, staff time.
Benefits: By meeting StormReady requirements, the County, communities and institutions will be better able to detect impending weather hazards and disseminate warnings as quickly as possible. All efforts to prevent injury, save lives, and protect property are of high value.
Plan Reference: Chapter 8 discussion and recommendation 10 in Section 8.8.
Action Item 19: Strengthen Building Codes and Code Enforcement Training Communities that have not adopted the International Code series of building codes should do so, and for all communities, future code revisions should be pursued to strengthen new buildings against damage by high winds, tornadoes, hail, and earthquakes. Requiring tornado “safe rooms” in certain structures should be considered. Any code revisions should be consistent with the efforts undertaken by multi-community organizations of building department staff. Training should be developed and conducted for building department staff on building code
administration, enforcement, the natural hazards aspects of the International Codes, regulation of mobile home installation, floodplain ordinances, and provisions applicable to hazard mitigation.
Responsible agency: McHenry County and building departments.
Deadline: 24 months.
Cost: Staff time.
Benefits: Building codes cannot be effective unless they are administered and enforced properly. Training will ensure that county and municipal staffs understand the codes and procedures. This is a benefit that property owners will also benefit from as they understand the importance of the building standards for new construction. It also allows them to protect their investment in the property. Implementation of this Action Item will improve the hazard protection standards for new construction and will ensure a consistent set of building standards across the County.
Plan Reference: Chapter 4 discussion and recommendations 2 and 3 in Section 4.8.
Action Item 20: Seek Mitigation Grant Funding for Additional Mitigation Planning and Cost Beneficial Projects The County, municipalities, townships, other agencies and institutions should apply for mitigation grant funding through available IEMA and FEMA programs for mitigation planning and mitigation projects. As required by IEMA and FEMA programs, projects must be cost beneficial. FEMA hazard mitigation funding including PDM, HMGP, FMA and Section 406 of the Stafford Act (for facilities and infrastructure damaged due to a presidentially declared disaster) should be considered.
Responsible Agency: McHenry County, municipalities, other agencies, and institutions.
Deadline: As needed.
Cost: 25 percent of plan or project cost (non-federal share).
Benefits: The County, municipalities, townships, other agencies and institutions, along with residents and property owners, would benefit from the available grant funding. The request for grant funding also allows the Mitigation Committee to benefit from the mitigation planning effort.
Plan Reference: Chapters 1 and 4 through 9.
Action Item 21: Implementation of the Water Resources Protection Action Plan The County, municipalities and townships should implement the water quality and groundwater protection measures recommended by the “McHenry County Water Resources Protection Action Plan.”
Responsible agency: McHenry County, municipalities and townships.
Deadline: Ongoing.
Cost: Staff time.
Benefits: McHenry County will benefit in the years to come by the protection of surface water and groundwater quality, and groundwater quantity for drinking water supply purposes.
Plan Reference: Chapter 7 discussion and recommendation 6 in Section 7.10.
Action Item 22: Development of a Public Information Strategy A countywide natural hazards public information strategy should be developed for the use of the County, municipalities, townships and institutions. The strategy should be consistent with the recommended approach for the CRS program. The most important topics to cover are: Safety and emergency protection measures • During thunderstorms and lightning • During tornadoes • During floods • During winter storms
Protecting your property • From flood damage • Floodproofing • Local drainage issues • Sources of assistance
Understanding floods • Why there are floods • Why we regulate the floodplain • Flood insurance
Other: • Protecting our watersheds • Protecting water quality • Water conservation
The most appropriate ways to provide information are: • Community newsletters • Newspaper articles • Web sites and links to other sources • Handouts at public places Publications developed by other agencies should be reviewed, consolidated, and tailored for distribution to McHenry County property owners. A set of countywide publications should be developed that can be used by communities as is, but developed in a format that allows communities to customize the materials.
Responsible Agency: McHenry County Hazard Mitigation Committee, municipalities, institutions.
Deadline: 12 months.
Cost: Staff time, publication costs.
Benefits: There are many benefits to having a well-informed public. For example, deaths from lightning have steadily decreased over the years because people are more aware of what they should and should not do. More self-help and self-protection measures will be implemented if people know about them and are motivated to pursue them. By preparing a public information strategy and a master set of locally pertinent articles and materials, each interested office only has to select the most appropriate media and distribute the messages. By simply inserting an article in a newsletter or putting it on the website, the local level of effort is greatly reduced, which increases the likelihood that the messages will get out. The messages will also be technically correct and consistent throughout the County.
Plan Reference: Chapter 9 discussion, and conclusion 5 in Section 9.6 and recommendation 1 in Section 9.7.
Action Item 23: Property Protection References Provide municipal departments, libraries and other interested offices with a list of references on property protection that can be ordered for free from state and federal offices. Include a request that they make the references available for public use. A special effort should be made to identify references on insurance, emergency preparedness and property protection. Also, identify web sites that provide property protection information and provide their addresses to the County and municipal webmasters.
Responsible Agency: McHenry County Hazard Mitigation Committee, then municipal offices to place in libraries and offices. The American Red Cross should provide technical advice.
Deadline: 12 months.
Cost: Staff time.
Benefits: As with the other public information activities, this action item helps inform the public. It provides the greatest assistance to those people who want to learn more about property protection and take the right steps to reduce their exposure to damage by natural hazards.
Plan Reference: Chapter 9.

To: Mr. Roscoe C. Stelford, City Manager From: John L. Lieb, Chief of Police Re: Approval of Purchase of Police Vehicles through Northwest Municipal Conference Suburban Purchasing Cooperative Date: November 9, 2017 (November 21, 2017 City Council Meeting)
On an annual basis the police department replaces a portion of the police vehicle fleet utilized by the department. Historically, the five-year alternating vehicle replacement system generally provides for approximately three primary patrol vehicles to be replaced every year; the police administration and police detective vehicles are replaced as needed. The replacement vehicles are available by means of a joint purchase cooperative through the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) Suburban Purchasing Cooperative.
The Ford Interceptor Police Sedans (two at $26,158 each) will be used as primary patrol vehicles, and the Ford Interceptor Police Utility (one at $28,532) will be utilized as the supervisor patrol vehicle. The FY17/18 General Corporate CIP budget, line item #82-03-7-701, includes $80,000 which was requested and approved to replace police vehicles. The total expenditure for this purchase will be $80,848. There is minimal need for additional equipment purchases to “up-fit” these squad cars since the equipment from retiring squad cars can be removed and then reinstalled into the newly-acquired squad cars.
It is recommended that the purchase of two (2) Ford Interceptor Police Sedans and one (1) Ford Interceptor Police Utility be approved through the NWMC Suburban Purchasing Cooperative from Currie Motors, Frankfort, IL. Once delivered the necessary equipment will be removed from retiring squad cars and then installed into the new vehicles.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November 13, 2017
To: Roscoe Stelford, City Manager
From: Nancy Baker, City Planner and Liaison to OCHASH Advisory Commission
SUBJECT: Co-working Feasibility Study
Over the past year, the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House Advisory Commission has continued to investigate a variety of uses for the Courthouse, Sheriff’s House and Jail. The concept of co- working seems like a potentially good fit for the space and could incorporate flexible space usable by the Community. Co-working is a broad term that includes membership-based shared work space, incubator space and makerspace, and was recommended by Artspace as a potential use to complement arts-related uses of the Courthouse.
Advisory Commission members have visited various co-working spaces in the region including 1871, a technology incubator in Chicago; 25 N Co-working in Geneva and Arlington Heights; and Irontek in Janesville, which combines features of both co-working and incubators. In addition, Commissioner Stumpf has been involved in the establishment of Matter, a health care industry incubator in Chicago. Mara Hauser, founder of 25 N, visited the Old Courthouse and met with the Commission and explained her co-working model. While Ms. Hauser found the Old Courthouse a very attractive site, she is currently planning projects in several other areas and her model calls for the building ownership to make all of the capital improvements before she becomes the Co-working manager/operator.
At the request of City staff, Northern Illinois University (NIU) Center for Governmental Studies (CGS) submitted a proposal to study the potential for a co-working space to be located in the Old Courthouse and/or Sheriff’s House. The proposal offers a phased approach with decision points at the end of each phase. It will examine the potential for all types of co-working including incubator and creative uses.
It is noted that NIU CGS staff have a very good understanding of the project and its challenges and they have experience with different types of co-working and economic development projects in northern Illinois.
In July 2017, the Advisory Commission discussed the need for a co-working feasibility study and voted to recommend that the City Council contract with NIU CGS to conduct the first phase of the feasibility study (5 yes, 3 no, 1 absent). The cost of Phase One is $9,000 plus architect’s consultation fees which are expected to be approximately $1,000. A funding source was not identified; however, Grants/Communications Manager Terry Willcockson has submitted a grant application to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. If approved, the grant would cover $5,000 of the cost of Phase One. Funds are available through the Economic Development Department’s budget. In addition, the City Administration is reviewing with the County the ability to utilize CDBG funds.
Co-working is a growing economic development activity--not just an Old Courthouse opportunity. The request to initiate a pilot project in downtown Woodstock came about during the On the Table Community Conversation last spring. Since August, Stage Left Café has hosted Co-Working@ the Café on Mondays, with a growing number of appreciative participants each week. The concept has expanded to include monthly free business development workshops, and a Woodstock Co-Working Group, hosted on Facebook by OCHASH Commissioner Wendy Piersall, shows 90 members. It appears that a co-working site is being offered soon in Crystal Lake, so the concept is taking shape in this area. If the co-working pilot project at Stage Left is successful, the feasibility study will provide valuable information regardless of whether co-working goes into the Old Courthouse or another Woodstock location. It would also provide needed direction to the OCHASH Commission so they can determine whether to pursue other options for usage at the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House.
If the City Council concurs, then it is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute a contract for the completion of Phase One of the “Proposal to Study the Potential for a Co-working Space to be Located in the Old Courthouse and/or Sheriff’s House” with the $9,000 in fees to be potentially offset in part by grant funding and $5,000 to be charged to 01-12-5-515, Strategic Plan/Marketing Services. Any remaining portion will be charged to the Old Courthouse Account in the TIF Fund. August 28, 2017
A PROPOSAL TO STUDY THE POTENTIAL FOR A COWORKING SPACE TO BE LOCATED IN WOODSTOCK’S OLD COURTHOUSE & SHERIFF’S HOUSE
Background
The Old McHenry County Courthouse, designed by Chicago’s first architect John Mills Van Osdel in 1857, and joined by the adjacent Sheriff’s House and Jail in 1887, is one of the few examples of pre-Civil War Courthouses in Illinois still standing today.
The building complex was vacated by McHenry County Government in 1972 and purchased by private owners; it achieved landmark status with listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and has operated as the Old Courthouse Arts Center for over 25 years. A popular restaurant, Woodstock Public House, occupies the lower level of the Courthouse; the first floor is leased to Northwest Area Arts Council as art gallery and sales shop space, open to the public with limited hours; the second floor is currently inaccessible; the Sheriff’s House is unoccupied.
The City of Woodstock assumed ownership of the complex in 2011 with deferred maintenance and repair needs exceeding $5 million. While an RFP process to attract private development was unsuccessful, annual funding from an established downtown TIF District allows essential repairs to continue. Based on the City’s recent formal commitment to retain building ownership, fundraising efforts will be launched in 2017, through staff efforts at grant writing, and a capital campaign organized by community volunteer group Friends of the Old Courthouse. In addition, a mayor-appointed Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House Advisory Commission continues to research potential programming concepts, hoping to identify those that will benefit the community, while ensuring sustainability for buildings that are integral to the economic health of Woodstock’s vibrant Historic Square.
Studies to Date
Three studies have informed planning efforts to date: the first was provided by historic preservation architects Gary Anderson Associates from Rockford. This baseline facilities analysis has helped determine prioritization and budgetary scheduling of ongoing repairs and restoration efforts.
The second study, a Technical Assistance Panel (or TAP) funded by McHenry County Community Foundation (MCCF), was conducted by the Urban Land Institute. It encouraged formation of the advisory commission and consideration of City ownership with non-profit management of the buildings.
The third study, also funded by MCCF, was conducted last summer by Artspace, Inc. Artspace encouraged retention of the restaurant and Arts Center uses in the Courthouse, while August 28, 2017 recommending development of a co-working center on the second floor, and consideration of some type of museum concept in the Sheriff’s House. The Sheriff’s House has been the site of various dining establishments and there is community interest in continuation of that use, while the Advisory Commission believes the building may be needed to support final identified uses planned for the Courthouse.
Investigating the Potential for a Co-working Space
There has been strong interest expressed by members of the City Council, the Advisory Commission, staff, and community members at public meetings, to investigate the potential for development of a co-working center in the Old Courthouse. It is believed that if a programming concept can be verified as beneficial to the community and operationally sustainable, this would assist fundraising efforts and allow building renovations to accelerate. Co-working space is a general term for shared space and can mean different things to different people. Most often it refers to a variety of working space configurations and the meeting rooms, reception area and other ancillary facilities that often support office workers. This co-work concept also is suitable for individuals engaged in creative thought professions such as writers and designers. A small business incubator is sometimes included. Other concepts include studios and support facilities for artists, makers’ spaces where crafters and artisans share space and equipment; or a commercial kitchen shared by value added food businesses. All of these concepts have been discussed as possibilities for the Old Courthouse and Sheriff’s House. At this time, the City is most interested in investigating co-working targeted to office workers and people engaged in creative thought professions, with the possibility of an incubator function, and to a lesser degree, a makers’ space and shared artist studios.
Work Plan
The work plan for the project consists of multiple phases. This approach provides the City with several decision points at which the work plan can be modified based on the information gathered to that point. The work plan outlined is flexible and can be modified based on conversations with the City and other local stakeholders. The work plan addresses the potential to locate a co-working space in the subject property, but will also be useful in considering the potential for a co-working concept to be located elsewhere in the city.
Phase One: Should co-working be pursued for the Old Courthouse?
City representatives indicated it is important to keep both buildings accessible to the public. They also indicated that benefits to the community beyond sustainable reuse of the buildings should be considered. All co-working space allows individuals who work at home or for whom a smaller independent space is more appropriate to access professional work space, meeting rooms and technology in a flexible and affordable manner. Co-working spaces also provide a unique opportunity for the users of the space to develop a sense of community they would not have in more traditional work arrangements or working at home. The spaces are often used for community events and educational programs, sometimes led by the co-workers themselves. Co- working spaces can function as informal incubators for small businesses and provide a low cost entry into the market place for young people, retirees, and others with entrepreneurial ambitions. August 28, 2017
For area residents employed by businesses located in Chicago or elsewhere some distance from Woodstock, co-working facilities can be a regular or occasional option to avoid a lengthy commute.
The research in this first phase is primarily designed to help the City determine whether co- working in the Old Courthouse has sufficient potential for further investigation. While the primary focus will be on space for people who typically work in an office environment and people in creative thought professions, the potential for an artist studio concept and a media oriented makers’ space also will be considered. This would be accomplished through completion of the following tasks.
1. Research Comparable Projects: Co-working spaces in markets similar to Woodstock will be identified and key components determined. 2. Identify typical space users: Characteristics of the area from which users are drawn will be examined. Research on space users will not be limited to the comparable projects. Rather, local, state and nationwide trends in demographics and work patterns will be considered. 3. Compile an economic and demographic overview of the Woodstock area: In addition to collecting general information on trends in the business community and residents of the city, data specific to the proposed use will be collected, such as home based businesses and businesses by category. 4. Consult with an architect: We will consult with an architect recommended by the City, and at the City’s cost, to discuss, in general, whether the subject space could reasonably provide the kinds of facilities that are typically found at co-working spaces. 5. Interview key stakeholders: Interviews with key stakeholders such as local organizations representing individuals who may be interested in using the space, the advisory board created to address preservation of the buildings, and others as identified will be held. 6. Investigate Woodstock’s ongoing co-working experiment: The level of interest in the current co-working experiment and input from participants will be considered. 7. Develop preliminary findings regarding the appropriateness of the buildings for the type of space under consideration: Based on the research conducted on the comparable co-working space, typical users, trends in work patterns, the overview of the Woodstock area, and input from the architect, initial thoughts on the demand for office based co-working will be prepared. Preliminary thoughts on an incubator, artist studios and a makers’ space will also be developed, although in less depth than for office based co-working.
At the conclusion of Phase 1, we will provide a draft summary report and meet with the City to discuss our findings. The information provided will help guide the City in deciding whether to continue to pursue the co-working concept and what types of space should be included.
Estimated time: 6-7 weeks Estimated cost: $9,000 (does not include architect’s fees)
August 28, 2017
Phase 2: Is there a market for the project?
Based on the City’s decisions at the conclusion of Phase 1, we will estimate whether there is likely to be sufficient demand for the type(s) of space being considered. This will be accomplished through the following tasks.
1. Conduct focus groups: We will hold several focus groups with individuals who may be potential users of the space. We will identify the types of individuals we are looking for, prepare the questions, conduct the discussions, and prepare a follow-up report. We will ask city staff to assist in locating and inviting people to attend, securing a location, and providing any needed support for the meetings. 2. Interview representatives of potential users: Interviews will be held with individuals representing organizations that might be significant users of the space. Examples are nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, business groups, or others as needed. 3. Survey potential users: Individuals and organizations that may be interested in using the proposed space will be surveyed to learn their level of interest, the characteristics the proposed space should include in order to meet their needs, and the user fees that would be acceptable. 4. Estimate market strength: Based on the feedback from the focus groups, interviews, surveys, and Phase 1 research, we will estimate whether there are sufficient people fitting the user profile within a reasonable distance of Woodstock. 5. Evaluate competing spaces: The presence of people who fit the user profiles for the space does not ensure that there will be people who will use it. The presence or lack of competition must be considered. This analysis of the competition will include not only spaces similar to what is proposed, but also other kinds of spaces that are serving the same needs. Examples might be libraries, coffee shops, schools, community centers, churches, private offices and meeting rooms. A survey of the competition will be completed. The extent to which the proposed space will offer something different or more desirable, and the extent to which the competition is at capacity will be considered. 6. Investigate retail potential: Mixed use projects that incorporate a small retail outlet similar to what could be developed at the Old Courthouse will be examined. Information on approaches that have been successful will be evaluated and suggestions for how retail might be included in the proposed project will be provided.
At the conclusion of Phase 2, we will provide a draft summary report and meet with the City to discuss our findings. This phase of the work plan will provide the City with an in depth understanding of the market for co-working, who potential users may be, the facilities and services those users desire, and the competition for those users. If the City wishes to modify the remaining phases of the work plan, revisions can be made.
Note: Timing and fees are based on the City focusing primarily on office based/creative thought co-working. Should there be equal interest in one of the other types of co-working, timing and fees may need to be adjusted.
Estimated Time: 8 weeks Estimated cost: $12,500 August 28, 2017
Phase 3: What is the estimated usage and revenue for the proposed project?
Based on the findings of the previous phases and decisions made by the City regarding the project description, we will prepare estimates of the usage of the proposed project and the revenue that might be generated. Co-working spaces by design provide wide flexibility to users in terms of their financial commitment. This is in contrast to other types of building uses, such as office space where leases are signed for a specified time period at a set rate. Therefore, estimates of usage and revenue for co-working space are less precise than for other uses. We will provide a range of the estimated usage and revenue that might be generated by the project. The following will be considered:
1. Market penetration: The percentage of the market that comparable co-working spaces have captured will be determined. The extent to which the proposed project is likely to be able to capture a similar percentage of the market will be evaluated. 2. Competitive position: The attractiveness of the proposed project to potential users and ability to capture current users of other comparable spaces as well as those who are interested in co-working but not currently using co-working spaces will be considered. 3. National usage trends and local conditions: Co-working is a rapidly evolving work style and local conditions may reflect or differ from what is happening at the national level. This may encourage or discourage use of co-working space in Woodstock.
Based on the tasks above, we will estimate the level of support that the proposed co-working space could reasonably expect. We also will prepare estimates of the fees that could be charged for the different facilities and services that could be made available. Because of the flexible nature of co-working space, detailed estimates of the number of users for each usage option within the space will not be prepared.
We also will provide input on the leadership options for development of the project and management options after the project is completed. These will be based on experiences at other similar projects, discussions with others knowledgeable in this field, and comments from the City and other Woodstock stakeholders.
At the conclusion of Phase 3 we will prepare a detailed final report documenting the findings of all phases and overall conclusions and recommendations concerning the proposed project. We will meet with the City to present our findings and discuss how the City might proceed. If desired, we will be available for additional presentations of our research and findings on an hourly cost basis. We will provide the City with a final report in digital form suitable for printing.
Estimated time: 4 weeks Estimated cost: $7,500
Total project cost: $29,000 August 28, 2017

This expertise is provided to governmental entities at all levels, private enterprises, public-private partnerships, and institutions of higher education. As part of Northern Illinois University’s Division of Outreach, Engagement, and Regional Development, CGS fulfills its outreach and engagement mission through public service, applied research, technical assistance, and public policy development activities that are supported by interdisciplinary teams. Although the CGS office is in DeKalb, our staff reside throughout the region, which enables us to cost-effectively work in areas throughout the state.
CGS staff are organized into five content teams: community, workforce, and economic development; informatics; public management and training; human services; and survey research. In response to interest from public sector partners, CGS has recently developed new specializations in the areas of housing, rural health, local food systems, and digital financial reporting. In addition to subject matter expertise in all of these areas, CGS staff are skilled in meeting facilitation, planning processes, and managing public participation.
A key CGS asset is access to an extensive array of public and proprietary data resources. Federal data sources include the Bureau of the Census, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. State sources include the Illinois Department of Employment Security and the Illinois Department of Revenue. A variety of published and proprietary sources contain data for hundreds of demographic, economic, and socioeconomic variables for various geographies in a variety of formats including electronic, internet, print, and thematic maps that can be used in this project.
CGS staff have been involved in several projects that will inform the proposed work in Woodstock. CGS staff prepared the DeKalb Revitalization Plan entered in the America’s Best Communities Competition, advancing to the top 15 cities among 350 entries nationwide. The plan focused on seven major projects including a co-working space and the creation of an arts district. CGS is continuing to investigate developing a co-working space in DeKalb. CGS prepared The Creative Economy in Illinois, a study of extent, distribution and connections between various elements of the creative economy in the state. The study also included policies to promote the arts and a catalogue of potential funding sources for arts related projects.
CGS has a well-established program of technical assistance connected to downtown development. Mim Evans and Norman Walzer advised the Illinois Main Street Program for several years and organized a series of seminars and training activities for downtown managers in Illinois and adjacent states. In addition to assisting Main Street communities, CGS has recently provided services to Galena, Genoa, Elburn and DeKalb. Resources and information on past and upcoming events related to downtown development can be found at http://cgs.niu.edu/DowntownDevelopment/index.shtml.

CGS is an academic institution rather than a consulting firm. The latter typically has a set procedure for a type of project which can be repeated in many communities. This is a useful approach for a well-defined project. CGS, on the other hand, says “What do you need and how can we help you come to a useful decision?” That means that what we do in each community depends on what they need, rather than what we have done many times before. Our main interest is not to sell “a product”; rather it is help Woodstock make some smart choices and investments that yield desired outcomes. The types and depth of analyses will probably differ quite a bit from what we did in the previous community or the next one and we often do not recover all expenses calling it public service.

Woodstock Opera House Memo
To: Roscoe Stelford, City Manager From: Mark Greenleaf, Building Manager CC: John Scharres, Managing Director Date: November 17, 2017 Re: Award of Work – Custom Carpet and Padding Correction
The purpose of this memo is to correct an error made in identifying the lowest responsive bidder among seven proposals, which were received to provide all carpet and padding for this year’s CIP carpet replacement project, and to request that the City Council revisit its decision, made in good faith, in awarding the work during the Council meeting of November 7, 2017.
Considerable effort was made to put this project before potential bidders. Thirty-one qualified firms were identified and contacted, including flooring conglomerates, local retailers, carpet mills and carpet importers. The seven bids opened as scheduled per our published notice came over the signatures of three corporate officers (one regional sales manager, one corporate CFO and one corporate VP of Sales) and those of three owner/managers and one VP of retail and commercial flooring stores. The differences between the firms bidding explains the wide range of bid amounts proposed – from $38,728 to $70,300.
The following is a complete list of all bids properly sealed, received, opened and corrected:
Royal Thai (Tai Ping) Calhoun, GA $38,728
Bloomsburg Carpet Industries Bloomsburg, PA $39,250
Brintons U.S. Axminster Kennesaw, GA $44,645
Murphy’s Flooring Woodstock, IL $55,577
Tiles in Style, LLC Willowbrook, IL $59,500
Mayfair Carpet & Furniture Crystal Lake, IL $60,239
Commercial Flooring Systems, Inc. Woodridge, IL $70,300
The error, which now requires the prior bid award to be rescinded and corrected, involved dismissing the two lowest bids for proposing to provide carpet only, not carpet and padding as
1 instructed. Only upon reviewing the documents on November 8th, in preparing to notify all bidders of the City’s action, did it become clear that comments in the bid from Bloomsburg Carpet Industries indicated that the bid price did not include the shipping of padding from their mill in Pennsylvania. However, the bid form, signed by their CFO and delivered by their Chicago area sales representative, commits the firm to providing all carpet and padding to the Opera House for the bid price proposed.
I apologize for the error and any delay which it has caused and for the inconvenience to all involved. After consulting with City Attorney Schlossberg in this matter, it is recommended that the City rescind the award of work made to Brintons U.S. Axminster to provide 1,000 sq. yds. of custom-woven broadloom Axminster carpet and 800 sq. yds. of commercial grade carpet padding, delivered to the Woodstock Opera House, for the amount of $44,645, and,
That the City subsequently award same to Bloomsburg Carpet Industries for the amount of $39,250.

Re: Cancellation of Custodial Cleaning Contract with Emeric Facility Services and Award of Contract for Custodial Cleaning with FM Plus Green
Date: November 16, 2017
Council reviewed bid results from eight (8) companies for custodial service at four (4) city facilities during its July 18, 2017 meeting. As part of that review, Council awarded a contract to Emeric Facility Services (Emeric) to provide custodial services for $4,212 per month. Emeric began providing service to the Library, City Hall, Recreation Center, and Public Works on Friday, September 1st. Shortly thereafter, staff began noticing issues and receiving reports from other employees of service inconsistent with expectations and parameters set forth in the bid documents.
Staff met with a company representative on September 19th to discuss these deficiencies, receiving assurance that the company would immediately make all necessary corrections to avoid a reoccurrence. The following month saw a marked lack of improvement on the issues despite numerous communications with the company. Given these facts and a continuation of service-related deficiencies, staff provided a notice of cancellation to Emeric Facility Services effective November 24, 2017.
To ensure continuation of this important service, staff met with representatives of the next lowest responsible bidder, FM Plus Green LTD. (FM Plus) to determine their availability to take on the contract. FM Plus agreed to enter into an agreement with the City for the remainder of the contract period at their quoted price. The change to FM Plus results in an increased cost of $537 per month over pricing secured from Emeric. With your approval, FM Plus Green will begin custodial services on November 25, 2017 consistent with the bid.
As such, staff seeks and requests Council approval to award a contract to FM Plus Green LTD. for $4,749.00 per month to clean City Hall, the Library, Public Works, and the Recreation Center through August 31, 2019. c: Jeff Van Landuyt FM Plus Green
