Government At Work - Crystal Lake City Council

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20—
7:30 p.m. – Crystal Lake City Council
Meeting in the City Council Chambers, 100 West Woodstock Street.
Cancellation of the January 1 Council Meeting. The Council will not meet on the first day of January, although that is the date of regularly scheduled Council meeting.

The Council is being requested to approve a resolution regarding the annual tax levy ordinance, which will be considered during a public hearing scheduled December 18. The actual dollars collected from the 2012 tax levy are not received until fiscal year 2013/2014 and the City has not yet considered an annual budget for this period.


Action regarding the annexation of five properties on State Street, Crystal Lake Manor is to be continued to the January 15 Council meeting.

The Council is being requested to adopt an ordinance granting a Special Use Permit for property at 39 N. Williams Street. This retail space was formerly occupied by J. Scott Menswear and is adjacent to Dalzell Jewelers.

Plans are to locate Dalzell Estate Sales at this location for the retail of estate items, excluding firearms.


Several other zoning matters are to be considered by the Council for approval. Included are:


Whitey’s Towing, 710 Eastgate Alley – Variation to construct an 8-foot-high fence 17 feet into the required 30-foot corner side yard setback along Commercial Road.


Walmart, 1205 S. Route 31 – Final Planned Unit Development Amendment to allow elevation changes to alter the approved color scheme.


Factory Plaza Subdivision, Lot 3, 7109 Pingree Road – Rezoning for Lot 3 from “M” Manufacturing to the “B-2” General Commercial district.


Resolution designating two City Councilmembers as liaisons to the Crystal Lake Public Library Expansion Planning Group.


The Council is expected to conduct an executive session for several personnel matters including the ordinance amending the section of the City Code to increase the number of Historic Preservation Commission voting members to nine from the current seven.


Also to consider reappointment of a member to the Police Pension Board and the appointment of a new council member to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Councilmember Carolyn Schofield, who resigned after being elected to the County Board. Laws prohibit serving on both boards.
