Staff said the proposal would remove nine parking spaces from the subject parcel but retain more off-street parking than the UDO requires and provide stacking for three vehicles at the ATM.

Brian Simmons, director of Community Development, said drive-up ATMs are allowed as a conditional use in the B-2 shopping-center district. \"The total shopping center ... currently provides 93 parking spaces. So the elimination of those 9 spaces would provide a total of 84 spaces, which would exceed the code requirement of 76 spaces for the site with the proposed improvements,\" Simmons said. He added the proposed design provides stacking for three vehicles, above the two-space minimum.

Taylor Westeroff, the project's engineer, told the ZPA the extra stacking and retained parking should prevent queuing into the public roadway. \"The stacking requirement of two spaces — we're providing three. That's important because that's gonna alleviate any traffic jams within the parking lot and, more importantly, out into the roadway,\" Westeroff said. He said the applicant will meet minimum landscaping and add two light poles to improve visibility.

D'Angelo Rios, who said he represents the bank's fleet-banking projects, told commissioners that U.S. Bank does not have a physical branch in the village. \"Yes,\" Rios responded when asked; \"U.S. Bank does not have a physical presence in the village at this time.\"

Staff reported no public comments were received on the application. The ZPA voted to recommend approval (Graziano — no; all other voting members present — yes). The chair advised the petitioner to stay in close coordination with staff about whether the item will appear on the July 1 Village Board agenda and about the permitting pathway. If the Board approves the conditional use, the petitioner must accept staff conditions and obtain permits before construction or installation can proceed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","06.12.2025 Board of Zoning Planning and Appeals Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Zoning, Planning and Appeals commission recommended approval of a conditional use to allow a drive-up ATM at Cary Square that will remove nine parking spaces but still exceed the site's parking minimum and provide three stacking spaces.","taxTitle","Cary, McHenry County, Illinois","taxId",70300,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6184441,"ZPA recommends planned development for District 26 bus facility at 3373 3 Oaks Road",1067,911000,1978000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5090792-a13c391dc1f91114690f22fdffbc7a58&start=911&end=1978","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5090792-a13c391dc1f91114690f22fdffbc7a58/thumbnail_911000.jpg","/articles/6184441/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/ZPA-recommends-planned-development-for-District-26-bus-facility-at-3373-3-Oaks-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184441-d64d2817c4a0c2669fc89edb34c1f876/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176641&Signature=iAsO4Q3AWIsYBdAyIDXl-2m2Pu4tLEpGVvkJFI6iBY9L20v4914Iv5~1skw4Pj4XSKHF19E5BbCJE3C7WMnLuxpwxpbgqSHIuvhdkxnbDLK-crf~qUD2fTN8vNWeWavjwr~d5aqu1tNc1jLpL1J5IYWZnSE8gKxWGdTQDLBzA9YSvdocnRZwJ7YqdWFWhcywAIHEu-70AKDb8Xj6OgeaooTWB4eJQ5tBFFl0qMo0X0n2G7aPI4qmrVYaFvIKCCSp7Auv7xkfLwvw4d5Fu2DFjg8qmiV5LfoWRjFMnxMD8RTm36TGJKdY8AKOPJ~xHCmds8qdIb1wsiGvujb9Erqy6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Cary Zoning, Planning and Appeals recommended that the Village Board approve a planned development for Cary Community Consolidated School District 26 to relocate its bus transportation center to a 7-acre property at 3373 3 Oaks Road.

Brian Simmons, director of Community Development, told the ZPA the project would create three lots: Lot 1 for the relocated bus facility on the north side of the property near the railroad, and Lots 2 and 3 as future commercial outlots fronting 3 Oaks Road. \"The petitioners are seeking to create a three-lot subdivision,\" Simmons said, adding the planned development triggers because the site exceeds two acres. The petitioner requested three departures from the Unified Development Ordinance: increasing a fence height for outdoor bus storage from 8 feet to 10 feet and modifications to landscape requirements along the north and west property lines.

Dr. Brandon White, representing Cary District 26, said the facility is intended to serve current needs and future growth. \"This is a transportation facility that will not only meet the needs of the district today, but it's also being built for future growth,\" White said, noting the design includes space for additional buses if the fleet expands. White told the ZPA the district plans approximately 41 bus parking spaces in the build-out; he said the district currently operates about 25 buses.

Design materials show the bus maintenance building would be precast construction with two maintenance bays, a wash bay and administrative offices and training rooms. The site plan includes an internal loop road that will tie into the signal at 3 Oaks and Georgetown and provide cross access to the adjacent Aldi shopping center; part of the existing parallel driveway will be temporarily closed and then reconfigured when Lot 3 redevelops to move the decision point away from the intersection.

On landscaping departures, staff noted the northern property line adjoins a railroad right-of-way and an existing stand of trees roughly 110 feet from the property line; petitioners proposed counting some existing vegetation toward screening and limiting new plantings near the northwest Highway curb. For the west property edge, staff said the code allows one-level departures under some circumstances, which would reduce a 15-foot setback to 10 feet for a type B screening; petitioners proposed relying on existing tree stands rather than planting new material.

Simmons said stormwater management for the three lots would be provided centrally and that fuel infrastructure (a fuel island) is proposed in the northwest corner; fire department review will occur during permitting. Simmons told the ZPA staff received no public feedback on the petition and that the commercial Lots 2 and 3 are owned by the school district per the intergovernmental agreement.

The ZPA voted to recommend approval of the planned development and departures, subject to conditions in the staff report. The chair advised the petitioner to coordinate with staff about next steps; the matter is expected to proceed to the Village Board, possibly on the July 1 agenda.","Cary ZPA recommended approval of a planned development to allow Cary Community Consolidated School District 26 to build a bus transportation center on a roughly 7-acre site at 3373 3 Oaks Road, including three zoning departures for fence height and landscaping.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6184446,"Cary ZPA backs variance to widen driveway at 405 Mildred Avenue",557,180000,737000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5090792-a13c391dc1f91114690f22fdffbc7a58&start=180&end=737","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5090792-a13c391dc1f91114690f22fdffbc7a58/thumbnail_180000.jpg","/articles/6184446/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/Cary-ZPA-backs-variance-to-widen-driveway-at-405-Mildred-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184446-a0fdc555e67878cdfb0d3fdc1a08ab89/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176641&Signature=P6yPRMdGD5XgXW6UclOb0IjvGMWFktoKVNg-wE3jRqMukXhjpktbItpR-2Wbp9QMKG9S4MklFn7wzKgfe3eANvQsdxn7oit~g7QbAhoILXLb25vcKd3YDKats4vEmwq1rVhQxSaZCjvv7rivcH91Ep4ivnPZnWf0lQAcV8uPbNVhubEB4g1zZaGrbK7NhGpTf3YqKTT4nzDrEp8pi9NyJEO60NM41dMeeL06E78b6BgFMhWCWiH1BFM8TsoYz8unBWWCXYFImDvJtH~xAJULqy-GNf7o8UZLWzada9Ss5IcsFVkC8JA~nNFeI3mpq2ZlnvDw6omed104iyUfUagLQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On Thursday the Village of Cary Zoning, Planning and Appeals (ZPA) voted to recommend that the Village Board approve a variance to increase the maximum driveway width at the property at 405 Mildred Avenue from 22.5 feet to 36 feet at the property line.

The recommendation followed staff testimony that the driveway was a legal nonconforming condition established before Cary's 2019 Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and that a 2016 variance shortened the front setback to 13 feet, limiting the available taper length between the garage and the property line. \"The existing 22 and a half foot driveway at 405 Mildred Avenue is considered legal nonconforming,\" said Nahara, a village staff member who presented the case. Staff recommended the variance, saying the lot's configuration creates a hardship that prevents compliance with current driveway-tapering requirements.

The variance request would allow the property owner to add garage access and maneuvering space tied to a recent two-story home addition that connected the main house to a previously detached garage. Nahara told the ZPA the property's history includes a 2008 conditional-use approval enlarging an accessory garage and a 2016 approval reducing the front-yard setback and expanding garage square footage; an October 2024 building permit allowed a roughly 1,025-square-foot addition that connected the garage and house and added side-access garage doors.

Commissioners pressed staff on whether the widened driveways are a broader trend on the riverfront subdivision and whether approvals are being routinely issued for similar lots. \"The neighborhood is unique from a standpoint of its access to the river,\" said Brian Simmons, director of Community Development, noting that many lots fronting the Fox River have historically wider frontages and nonconforming pavements that predate the 2019 UDO. Staff said they were not aware of a trend of recent widening applications but noted the property's addition changed the use enough that complying with the current taper requirement would require removing lawn area.

Janice, who spoke for the property owners Brett and Dana, said she was representing them because they were out of town and asked that staff keep them informed of the outcome.

After discussion the ZPA chair called the motion to recommend approval. The roll call vote was unanimous in favor: Casteter — yes; Graziano — yes; Kretchmer — yes; Williams — yes; Corey — yes; Kessler — yes. The board's recommendation now goes to the Village Board of Trustees, where an ordinance will be required and the property owners must accept conditions and apply for applicable permits. Brian Simmons advised the owners to stay in touch with staff; the chair said the matter will likely appear on the July 1 Village Board meeting, possibly on the consent agenda.

The ZPA also discussed whether the village should revisit parts of the UDO that govern nonconforming residential features and administrative variance authority, noting the UDO has been in effect about six years and may benefit from clarifications if similar cases recur. Staff said administrative variance provisions already exist but offered to return with information if code tweaks are warranted.

If the Village Board adopts the recommended ordinance, the property owners must sign the ordinance conditions and apply for inspections and building permits before work proceeds.","The Village of Cary Zoning, Planning and Appeals recommended the Village Board approve a variance to widen an existing nonconforming driveway from 22.5 feet to 36 feet at 405 Mildred Avenue, citing site constraints from prior additions and an existing reduced front setback.","actionData","errors"]
