The property is catty-cornered from McHenry County College. It is located within the Crystal Lake Watershed and will have to follow those requirements.

Water and ice complaints on the surfaces of sidewalks and streets have caused the City Streets Division to consider an addition to the City's Residential Code. Language is to be added to the City Code to address issues related to algae and ice on city sidewalks and streets caused by discharging of sump pumps. All premises are to be maintained to prevent the accumulation of water from sump pumps, downspouts, sprinklers, hose or other devises which may create a safety hazard on sidewalks and streets.
Notices of the needed correction would be made to the property owners to correct the problem by connecting to an existing storm sewer or to connect to a storm sewer the City will have to provide.

An amendment to the City Code is proposed to incorporate addressing guidelines as proposed by the City Fire Chief. The proposed changes would apply to any new building or structure that needed an address or a new occupancy that would correct an inconsistency with the address system. The proposed changes would not affect any existing business or residential address unless requested by the property owner or the postal service. There would be no added costs to businesses or property owners.
The primary goal of this change is to provide emergency service agencies with a tool to ensure that emergency victim can be located with the greatest efficiency.
