Wednesday's Meetings

The usual meeting the McHenry County Transportation Committee held on the first and third Wednesday mornings is cancelled for this Wednesday.
************
Matters Considered By Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission
The Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission is meeting Wednesday evening beginning at 7:30 pm in the Crystal Lake Municipal Complex, Woodstock and Walkup Avenues.

TOPPS, a project proposed for five-acres near McHenry County College is continued for a public hearing to the May 5 meeting of the Commission
************
Four Story Senior Housing Facility
Consideration is being requested for a proposed four story senior housing facility on an approximate five-acre parcel adjacent to the proposed Camelot School and south and west of Health Bridge. Parking is proposed for the first floor with two and three room apartments designed for independent living located on the remaining three floors. Also included are a dinning and activating rooms.

The lot is a part of a larger lot originally planned for office facilities. However, more interest has developed for five-acre parcels than for a larger complex. A variation is being requested to allow the residential community within the B-2 PUD zoning district.
************
Aston Pointe, North of Railroad Tracks and West of Pingree Road
This matter is continued from the April 7 meeting regarding a final PUD amendment to allow design criteria rather than approved model plans. Residents expressed concern because the developer desired to include smaller size home in the development.
************
Retail Sales Proposed for Terra Cotta Avenue
Alternative Garden Supply is requesting to allow retail sales in an M Manufacturing District along with the special use permit to allow delivery vehicles to be parked in the parking lot.

The property is located at 176 W. Terra Cotta Avenue and is the former Corporate Express Building. Two users proposed for the building are warehouse distribution uses. Also proposed is a "Brew and Grow" retail show room in connection with one of the user's business. Brew and Grow is the largest manufacturer of beer and wine-making supplies in Illinois and Wisconsin. No alcoholic beverages are proposed for sale at this location. However, they do hold beer making demonstrations on Saturdays.
************
Review Of Comprehensive Plan-First 3 Sections
A public meeting and general discussion on the plan is proposed.
