c) Consideration – An Ordinance Approving a Simplified Residential Zoning Variance for
Rear Yard Building Setback Relief in the “SF-2 PDD” Garden Residential- Planned
Development District, 14097 Sundance Drive
Village Manager David Johnson reported that the petitioner is requesting ±8.25 feet of relief beyond the
20-foot rear building setback line to accommodate the construction of a ±15’3” x 16’4” three season
room addition to the single-family residence located at 14097 Sundance Drive. 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.
Zoning Board of Appeals
The Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed the petitioner’s request at a public hearing on April 12, 2021,
with no members of the public speaking in opposition to the request, the Zoning Board of Appeals
unanimously recommended approval of the request by a vote of 4 to 0 subject to the following
condition:

d) Consideration – A Resolution Granting a Temporary Use Permit for Huntley Area
Chamber of Commerce to hold the Huntley Chamber Summer Expo and Granting an Off-
Premise Sign Permit for the Installation of Temporary Signs
Special Events Manager Barbara Read reported that the Village is in receipt of a request from the
Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce to hold the Huntley Chamber Summer Expo on Saturday, August
28, 2021 from 8am to 2pm. 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.

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. If these sites are unacceptable, the Chamber requests permission
for other sites with the approval of the Village Manager. Additionally, no signs will be posted on
private property without prior authorization of the property owner and no more than one (1) sign will be
placed at any of the specified locations and a Sign Ordinance variation is required to locate the signs on
Village rights-of-way.
The Village’s Sign Regulations allow off-premise signs provided they receive Village Board approval
and adherence to certain standards and criteria. The below table details the criteria and the proposed
signs:

intersecting traffic for a distance of 500 feet
As the Village has done in the past, the Gateway Sign at Route 47 and Main Street will be used to
announce the event from August 13th through August 28th.
Financial Impact
The Sign Ordinance waives temporary sign permit fees for non-profit organizations.
Legal Analysis
The Village Board’s authorization for this request is required in accordance with Zoning Ordinance -
Sign Regulations §156.121 (G) (1) which addresses Off-Premise Signs.
Manager Read reported that Larry Cornett, Executive Director of the Huntley Chamber of Commerce,
was in attendance to answer questions.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions.
Trustee Westberg asked if there would be trash receptacles placed within the area; Mr. Cornett stated
that there would.
Trustee Goldman asked if there was enough room on the Church property to hold all the vendors; Mr.
Cornett stated that the area is quite large and could hold all the vendors.

e) Consideration – A Resolution Approving a Lease Agreement between the Village of
Huntley and the Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce for 11704 Coral Street
Village Manager David Johnson reported that the Huntley Area Chamber of Commerce currently leases
the former Village Hall building at 11704 Coral Street to serve as the office space for the Chamber. 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.
Staff Analysis
The lease requires that public access be allowed to the washrooms during the Farmers Market and other
special downtown events. The Chamber is responsible for maintaining the interior of the building, and
the exterior of the building is to be kept clean and free from rubbish and dirt. Monthly rent includes
utilities, except for telephone and internet services.
Financial Impact
The monthly rent is proposed to remain at $500.00 per month. Annual revenue generated would be
$6,000.00.
Legal Analysis
All is in order for Village Board consideration.

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.

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.

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. All is in
order for consideration to approve the Change Order to JA Johnson Paving Company.
Financial Impact
The FY21 Budget includes sufficient funds in the Streets Improvement and Roads & Bridges Fund, 420-
00-00-8001 for the Municipal Center Mill and Overlay Change Order due to the favorable 2021 Road
Program (Covington Subdivision) Bid being more than $250,000.00 under budget.
Mayor Sass asked if the Village Board had any comments or questions; there were none.

i) Consideration – An Ordinance Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between the
Village of Lake in the Hills and the Village of Huntley Regarding Jurisdictional
Boundaries
Deputy Village Manager Lisa Armour reported that the Village previously approved a boundary
agreement with the Village of Lake in the Hills in 1997. 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.

j) Consideration – An Ordinance Approving an Amendment to Chapter 110 of the Village
of Huntley Code of Ordinances Regarding Liquor Commission Hearing Procedures
Village Manager David Johnson reported that an amendment to the Liquor Code is proposed to add
language that clarifies the code by including a statement that hearings conducted by the Liquor Control
Commission shall be on the record. 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. In the case of such appeal, the
Chairman shall cause the certified official record of proceedings to be filed in the
manner provided by law.

VILLAGE MANAGER’S REPORT:
Trustee Westberg reported that the parking lot of the Wing Point mall has a lot of pot holes and needs to
be fixed. Village Manager Johnson reported that Staff is following up with the property owner.
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.
