The property is zoned “SF-2 PDD” Garden Residential, Planned Development District. The Sun City Community Association reviewed the request for variance and has approved the project and pending final approval by the Village Board. Staff Analysis The proposed ±15’3” x 16’4” three season room addition will encroach ±8.25-feet beyond the platted 20-foot rear building setback line. With respect to hardship, the property owner has cited the fact that the lot backs up to a wooded area and a farmed lot, and that his wife is allergic to mosquitoes and bee stings. The three-season room addition will allow them to safely enjoy the view of their yard, and will also reduce noise during the busy planting and harvest times in the spring and fall. If the variance is approved and the addition is constructed, the home will have an 11.75’ rear yard (south) setback. The single story three-season room will be constructed with all new materials to match the existing residence, and the roof shingles will match the existing roof.

This outdoor event will take place in the parking lot and grassy area of the First Congregational Church property located at 11628 E. Main Street and is being held as an alternative due to the cancellation of the annual Business and Wellness Expo typically held in March. The request also includes the display of event signs at the locations noted on the chart included in the Village Board’s packet. Staff Analysis For the past several years, the Village has held “Huntley Chamber Day” in conjunction with the Farmers Market. This year, the Chamber would like to expand the event, and has received permission from the First Congregational Church to use the southern portion of the parking lot and grassy area to allow more Chamber members to participate. The 30+ parking spaces typically used for Farmers Market guests on the north side of the lot will remain open for parking. An event site plan is attached. The Chamber has also reached out to Trinity Lutheran Church for the use of their parking lot for guest parking. Chamber vendors as well as Farmers Market vendors will be required to park in the gravel area of the Catty property so as not to take away guest parking for the events or downtown businesses. The Huntley Chamber Summer Expo will include entertainment from 10am-2pm, and still being discussed are the addition of food vendors, rescue dogs, and a petting zoo/6-wheel pony ride. Signage The request is that the event signs would be installed on August 13th and removed on Monday, August 30th and the directional signs would be installed on Wednesday, August 25th and removed on Monday, August 30th. The signs will be posted as outlined on the attached signage list. 4 April 22, 2021 Village Board Meeting The Chamber acknowledges that some sites may not be under the Village’s jurisdiction and others may not be feasible in the noted location.

The Chamber has leased the building since 2011. The lease expires June 30, 2021, and the Chamber is seeking to renew the lease for a two-year period (July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2023). As with the current lease, there is a provision for early termination of the lease by either the Village or the Chamber upon a 90-day written notice to the other party.

MOTION: Trustee Leopold SECOND: Trustee Goldman AYES: Trustees: Goldman, Hoeft, Kanakaris, Leopold, Piwko, and Westberg NAYS: None ABSENT: None The motion carried: 6-0-0 6 April 22, 2021 Village Board Meeting f) Consideration – A Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement with Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LTD in an Amount Not to Exceed $36,500 for Huntley-Dundee Road Drainage Investigation and Stormwater Analysis Director of Public Works and Engineering Timothy Farrell reported that the FY21 Budget includes funding for Huntley-Dundee Road Drainage Investigation and Stormwater Analysis. A proposal was received from Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LTD, (CBBEL) for Engineering Services. Staff Analysis Two culverts crossing Huntley-Dundee Road, north of the Wing Pointe residential subdivision, experience drainage impairments that have resulted in extended inundation periods to wetlands and agricultural fields and increased overland flow through private property. One culvert is located approximately 800 feet west of Haligus Road and the other is approximately 300 feet east. The west culvert discharges into a small depressional storage area located south of Huntley- Dundee Road and north of Wing Pointe subdivision. The area will remain inundated for extended periods of time due to what is believed to be a failed tile system that drains the depression. When the storage capacity of the depressional storage area is exceeded, stormwater overflows south through the Wing Pointe subdivision. The east culvert conveys flow through private property. The study will include analysis of the upstream area tributary to both Huntley-Dundee Road culverts. The west culvert analysis will also include the evaluation of the depressional storage area and the construction of a maintainable outlet for the depression. The overland flow path through the subdivision will be evaluated to determine a path that will minimize impact to property. The study will identify alternatives to convey flow and maintain stormwater runoff within the Village storm sewer system. Strategic Plan Priority The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan identifies Preserve and Enhance Quality of Life for Village Residents as a Strategic Priority, and “develop and implement annual management plans for Village-Owned wetland and stormwater management facilities” as an objective. Financial Impact The FY21 Budget includes $36,500 in the Capital Projects and Improvements Fund, 400-00-00-8002 for Huntley-Dundee Road Drainage Investigation and Stormwater Analysis. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none. A MOTION was made to approve a Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement with Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LTD in an Amount Not to Exceed $36,500 for Huntley- Dundee Road Drainage Investigation and Stormwater Analysis. MOTION: Trustee Hoeft SECOND: Trustee Kanakaris AYES: Trustees: Goldman, Hoeft, Kanakaris, Leopold, Piwko, and Westberg NAYS: None ABSENT: None The motion carried: 6-0-0 7 April 22, 2021 Village Board Meeting g) Consideration – A Resolution Approving the Bid Award to SKC Construction, Inc. for the 2021 Crack Sealing Program Director of Public Works and Engineering Timothy Farrell reported that the Crack Sealing Program is an effective and beneficial maintenance item to preserve the Village’s asphalt pavement investment. Pavement cracking is an inevitable characteristic of asphalt pavement as it ages. Left untreated, water can seep through the cracks and damage the base and sub-grade, which can destroy the load-bearing capacity of the roadway. Over time, more cracks can form causing alligator cracking then progressing to potholes and creating more costly repairs in the future. The Village plans to target the following areas in order of priority and as budget allows: • Wing Pointe Subdivision • Huntley Meadows Subdivision • Sun City NH 16 • Sun City NH 15 • Sun City NH 12 On May 7, 2019, the Village of Cary received bids from two contractors for the Municipal Partnering Initiative (MPI) Crack Sealing Program. The MPI is a municipality-based buying initiative where agencies join forces to procure a wide range of public services in an effort to tap economies of scale. The Village of Cary was the lead MPI agency for this project and prepared the necessary contract bid documents. The municipalities reserved the right to renew this contract for up to two additional one-year periods with 2021 being the third and final year. The bid results for Year 3 (2021) Crack Sealing Program and using Village of Huntley engineer’s estimated quantities are summarized as follows: SKC Construction, Inc. $73,839.60 Behm Pavement Maintenance, Inc. $106,466.40 Staff Analysis The bids have been reviewed by Public Works and Engineering Department Staff. All is in order to award the bid to SKC Construction, Inc. in the amount of $73,839.60 for the 2021 Crack Sealing Program. Financial Impact The FY21 budget for this program is $75,000.00. The amount is budgeted in the Streets Improvement and Roads & Bridges Fund 420-00-00-8001. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none. A MOTION was made to approve a Resolution Authorizing a Bid Award to SKC Construction, Inc., for the 2021 Crack Sealing Program. MOTION: Trustee Leopold SECOND: Trustee Piwko AYES: Trustees: Goldman, Hoeft, Kanakaris, Leopold, Piwko, and Westberg NAYS: None ABSENT: None The motion carried: 6-0-0 8 April 22, 2021 Village Board Meeting h) Consideration – A Resolution Approving a Change Order to the Year 3 Bid Extension to JA Johnson Paving Company for the 2021 Edge Mill and Overlay Program Director of Public Works and Engineering Timothy Farrell reported that on March 11, 2021, the Village Board approved a Year 3 contract extension to JA Johnson Paving Company for the 2021 Edge Mill and Overlay Program targeting Sun City NH 11 with an approved budget of $200,000. Staff is requesting a Change Order of $110,000 to mill and overlay the Municipal Center parking lot for a total Year 3 contract amount of $310,000. The Municipal Center was targeted for pavement seal (Liquid Road) in FY21. Due to unexpected unit price increases the cost to pavement seal the Municipal Center parking lot is approximately $52,000. For comparison, the cost to pavement seal the parking lot in 2018 was $19,300. In light of the circumstances and data above, staff reached out to JA Johnson to review the Municipal Center parking lot and to understand if they would be willing to mill and overlay holding the Year 3 Edge Mill and Overlay unit pricing. JA Johnson has agreed to mill and overlay the Municipal Center (MC) parking lot and hold the Year 3 Edge Mill and Overlay unit pricing for an estimated cost of $110,000. This results in an additional cost of only $58,000 as compared to the pavement seal (Liquid Road) project targeted for FY21. Public Works staff will be performing spot base repairs, asphalt repairs, and curb repairs as needed, as well as installing some additional underdrain in areas prone to settling and heaving. The project comparison and Change Order totals using Village of Huntley engineer’s estimated quantities are summarized as follows: PROJECT COMPARISON MC MILL & OVERLAY (CHANGE ORDER) $110,000.00 PAVEMENT SEAL (LIQUID ROAD) $52,000.00 ADDITIONAL COST TO MILL & OVERLAY $58,000.00 CONTRACT TOTALS NH 11 EDGE MILL & OVERLAY $200,000.00 MC MILL & OVERLAY (CHANGE ORDER) $110,000.00 TOTAL $310,000.00 Staff Analysis The quantities, unit pricing and change order amount of $110,000.00 for the Municipal Center parking lot mill and overlay has been reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Department staff.

The agreement established the jurisdictional boundary for both planning and annexation purposes. The term of the agreement was for 20 years. A new agreement is proposed for another 20-year term. Staff Analysis The proposed agreement continues a similar boundary line as established in the previous agreement. On the southeast side of the Village, the only remaining property still unincorporated that could be annexed by either municipality is the Halat property on both the north and south sides of Algonquin Road (Tom’s Market and east of Huntley Meadows). The boundary line on the north end of the Village extends north along Rt. 47 for approximately 1.5 miles (the Village’s planning jurisdiction) to the southern end of Andover Acres unincorporated subdivision. There are a number of unincorporated properties on the west side of Rt. 47 to the north that could possibly be annexed to the Village at a future date. Per the proposed boundary line, the Village would not annex any unincorporated properties on the east side of Rt. 47, and Lake in the Hills would not annex any properties on the west of Rt. 47. Huntley would continue to serve the District 158 Reed Road Campus property with water, as sanitary service is provided by the Lake in the Hills Sanitary District. Legal Analysis Special legal counsel has reviewed the agreement and all is in order for Village Board consideration. The Village of Lake in the Hills will be acting on the agreement the week of April 20th. Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none.

This would allow for use of Village records at the state level if needed. Staff Analysis The following section of the Liquor Control Ordinance is proposed to be amended as follows: Section 110.51, entitled “Suspension of License” of Chapter 110, entitled “Alcoholic Beverages and Video Gaming,” of Title XI, entitled “Business Regulations” of the Code is hereby amended in part, as follows: § 110.51 SUSPENSION OF LICENSE (A) The Liquor Control Commission of the Village may suspend up to 30 days or revoke any license issued by it, if it is determined that the licensee has violated any provision of this chapter, or for any violation of state law pertaining to the sale of alcoholic liquor. However, no such license shall be so suspended or revoked except after a public hearing by the Liquor Control Commission with a three day written notice to the licensee affording the licensee the opportunity to appear and defend. All hearings conducted before the Liquor Control Commission pursuant to this Chapter shall be on the record and shall be taken before a certified stenographer or similarly qualified person who shall make a complete transcript and record of all testimony, evidence, and proceedings of the hearing. The Chairman of the Liquor Control Commission shall maintain the official record of the proceedings. Appeals from any decision of the Liquor Control Commission shall be taken to the state liquor control commission in the manner provided by law and shall be limited to a review of the official record of proceedings of the Chairman of the Liquor Control Commission.

Trustee Goldman noted that she has seen published on the Lake in the Hills signs advertisement for people to sign up to be considered for their open Village Clerk and Trustee positions and recommended that the Village does the same for open Village positions. Trustee Goldman stated that she would like the Village to have a committee with herself, Trustee Westberg and Trustee-elect Mary Holzkopf to review the candidates. Trustee Hoeft stated that the whole Village Board should decide and not a committee. Trustee Leopold stated that candidates should be reviewed by the Committee of the Whole. VILLAGE PRESIDENT’S REPORT: Mayor Sass updated the Village Board regarding the storage container approved on March 25, 2021 and reported that More Brewing investigated obtaining two smaller 20-foot long containers but found that the smaller containers are only 8 feet in height. The height of the smaller containers are not adequate to hold a full pallet of cans, which require a clearance of 9-feet. As a result, More Brewing will be placing one 44’-3” long storage container on the property as originally proposed. The container unit will be painted gray to match the building.
