Residents said notice about the project has been hard to find, described traffic and safety risks associated with a new connection to Route 31 and submitted a petition they said contains 425 signatures. Director Simmons told the board that the village has posted signs on New Haven Drive and Route 31 and will place a mobile message sign on New Haven Drive; the full zoning petition packet is expected to be posted to the village website within the week and the public hearing is scheduled for July 17.

Why it matters: The hearing will decide whether the project proceeds through Cary’s zoning process. Residents said the proposed connection would change local traffic patterns on a subdivision street that they characterized as serving local driveways and school bus routes, not as a collector road.

Resident David Arbenz told the board that existing signs are obscured and that a contact number supplied on notices has not been answered. Arbenz said, \"There's a sign out on 31. The grass is taller than the sign, though it's pretty obscured,\" and that people living off New Haven Drive feel the development affects their entire neighborhood. Ginny Plumbo also addressed the board, saying, \"It is gonna be a thoroughfare,\" and asking what the village would do if the change proved problematic after construction.

Director Simmons said the village posted property notice signs at New Haven Drive and Route 31, replaced a windblown sign that had fallen and will place an electronic message sign to advertise the hearing. Simmons also said two recent open houses were held for the Maplewood property with \"good turnout\" and that staff is working with the developer to refine a redevelopment agreement; any redevelopment agreement would be followed by required zoning entitlements. Simmons told the board the Maplewood project will continue through the village’s process and that next actionable items would come before the board later this summer.

Board members did not take action on the projects at the July 1 meeting beyond setting the public hearing date and receiving staff updates. The village clerk confirmed the public hearing for Seasons of Cary is scheduled for July 17 and that materials will be posted to the village calendar when available.

Clarifying details taken from the meeting record: residents said there are roughly 66 driveways and 239 mailboxes on the subdivision roadway they referenced; their petition contains about 425 signatures; village staff said signs have been placed on New Haven Drive and Route 31 and a mobile message sign will be placed on New Haven Drive; the full zoning petition packet should be posted on the village website within the week. The village described the next formal steps as refinements to a redevelopment agreement (for Maplewood) followed by the official zoning entitlement process.

The board and staff encouraged residents to review the full petition packet on the village website and to attend the July 17 public hearing for Seasons of Cary; no final zoning decision was made at the July 1 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","07.01.2025 Village Board","oneSentenceSummary","The Village of Cary on July 1 confirmed a public hearing for the Seasons of Cary development after residents said the proposal to extend New Haven Drive to Route 31 would turn a neighborhood street into a throughway and create safety and notice problems.","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},6181125,"Decker Drive residents praise enforcement, radar signs; Cary announces statewide speed enforcement campaign",1474,756680,2230950,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5113560-051d771e1314af624c8bb8584f560e2f&start=756&end=2230","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5113560-051d771e1314af624c8bb8584f560e2f/thumbnail_756680.jpg","/articles/6181125/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/Decker-Drive-residents-praise-enforcement-radar-signs-Cary-announces-statewide-speed-enforcement-campaign","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181125-b4cb67451f62653140f7c55982357344/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156656&Signature=jQcCXt9a1KBhdj3PBpsa361842BgPa2vCSzj~6s27uiGgSAVF6RXbHKwugqo6ScLi6i5uFSXD0WdSNeTObPnhOocrwgvBYPtM9TXyy3L6gvHk8Qa-DNi2ECj~VTpRjISp~lsEauaBN55VGj9MSwTOHs9UCnSUVah8oozEWswnTjKtbbqBuYVz-AJ47Zm9OKgfQ5YgXOwGYP~DODbimMOYzZNPIWgVOzGA2wNsmEqS3xRmBCZmFZhh0bPVniJb4QBfs~~eKllnDQhRSXbZmqgwJ4aGPmZVSdCav7Ji~jjTU0radwrOt5miOya3YK4XcdV3xZ1kYWwtfGUgWhTScZxPA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the July 1 meeting residents and village staff reviewed traffic‑calming work on Decker Drive and announced a statewide enforcement effort aimed at speeding.

Resident Dave Gwynn thanked Police Chief Finland and staff for installing two radar speed signs on Decker Drive and for placing truck‑weight limit signs at both ends of the street. Gwynn said the weight limit is posted at 12,000 pounds and that heavy trucks have become less common on the roadway since enforcement began; he also said striping to delineate a bike lane and parking lane is planned and that traffic appears calmer.

Chief Finland told the board the department will participate in a statewide traffic safety enforcement campaign focused on speeding and encouraged drivers to slow down to protect their communities.

Why it matters: The actions address resident complaints about speeding and heavy trucks on Decker Drive and represent coordinated enforcement and engineering measures to calm traffic.

Gwynn apologized to the chief for a prior comment and said, \"He runs a great department, and he's been very, very responsive.\" He reported that radar signs are operational and that the department calls companies when heavy trucks are observed on the restricted roadway.

The board and staff said they will continue to monitor Decker Drive, complete planned striping, and enforce the posted 12,000‑pound truck limit through outreach and enforcement.","Residents reported improved conditions on Decker Drive after the village installed two radar signs and truck‑weight signage; Chief Finland said the village will participate in a statewide traffic safety enforcement campaign focused on speeding.",{"_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},6181130,"Cary board adopts annual appropriations ordinance for FY 2025–26 after brief public hearing",63,1155845,1219075,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5113560-051d771e1314af624c8bb8584f560e2f&start=1155&end=1219","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5113560-051d771e1314af624c8bb8584f560e2f/thumbnail_1155845.jpg","/articles/6181130/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/Cary-board-adopts-annual-appropriations-ordinance-for-FY-202526-after-brief-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181130-81c38ca551f2e4b11f8552de53c4ca32/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156656&Signature=Hj1d9ypMCIJzQYvm85CQke5Ek55mpYbFoK87fIGpunNkpU5zep2hUoRcwlsovC6VJ~nr0KQ6G0uGRjECd6LyXEfDVv0Ch-GSl5~wyeCqxkynNtNOuT02HZnKdRHWuUTIKBCSq7q1xx-Todc0N8~GdBW9aSub0OemG9pyJaSyzTlPxomySx5u2fNeciF5dCZkRB7Nh7d1UeLB~HTzr9krK~i0yn-Z10LsrUw2Sv9GFkuBEuA~QqToKzS5wFDTpJbTV4MTNuqhbB0UGXQuu3Go~S3t7e~e21YIQvdg3yJzTpEQwj77ixd1GmZNaOacwwNwk7Xslm~qP5MA-SB-2zHQSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board of Cary on July 1 approved the annual appropriations ordinance for fiscal year 2025–26 following a public hearing at the start of the meeting that produced no public comments.

Mayor and staff recessed the board meeting to open the public hearing on the proposed appropriations ordinance and closed the hearing the same evening at 6:19 p.m. because there were no members of the public who offered comment. The board then moved to approve the ordinance making annual appropriations for McHenry County, Illinois for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2025, and ending April 30, 2026; the motion passed by roll call.

Why it matters: The appropriations ordinance formally authorizes village spending authority for the coming fiscal year and is a standard annual municipal action.

The mayor asked for any comments during the hearing and, hearing none, closed the hearing and carried the ordinance to a roll‑call vote. Trustees voted in favor during the roll call and the ordinance was adopted; no objections or amendments to the ordinance were recorded during the July 1 meeting.

Staff will proceed with budget implementation as authorized by the ordinance and with standard financial reporting and auditing processes required by state and local law.","The Village Board approved the annual appropriations ordinance for fiscal year 2025–26 after opening and immediately closing a public hearing with no comments; the ordinance covers the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2025 and ending April 30, 2026.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6181135,"Cary amends code to allow mobile food trucks at Cary Lake at Rotary Park",48,1221769,1270195,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5113560-051d771e1314af624c8bb8584f560e2f&start=1221&end=1270","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5113560-051d771e1314af624c8bb8584f560e2f/thumbnail_1221769.jpg","/articles/6181135/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/Cary-amends-code-to-allow-mobile-food-trucks-at-Cary-Lake-at-Rotary-Park","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181135-102f7d49b1461a1308ba212bb33fe0ba/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156656&Signature=KhQ4RvMSyVeS~rsOgfwGezbz2QcARE3oWc5fMC3Uf4iYhf2CpUzKKtG0nuoifJQtTAt-Zdi56eoliwfuC5Fn5ztKVMo9N3pXncAQDvZPNIwHGQRLtVOfVDBuqjvvhECXonxEYlxBljvSZ9-0PYT3jK-iO0yMs9qPbYlDAn2nGWSHSPUpdA-AvQ4HmdhIyQoPT~ozyAC1EqfuY95Y1bkmE1DyHsmJNdU-~~I8xKu3UVCUaxSlaBFN3hHBkyIxDOoD4UW98an540SHT3z4UEyvfzbTR7kCofMY8Yr7fKXGcGV6ez4y4nO7Wgbt5iTtiuQTAeQ1GC7XFVGS6SVlE0FPTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board on July 1 approved an ordinance amending sections 5.38.020 and 5.38.040 of the Village Code to allow mobile food trucks at Cary Lake at Rotary Park.

Board members said the item was discussed extensively in committee and then moved for approval at the board meeting. The ordinance change alters village code language to expressly permit mobile food trucks at the specified park location under conditions contained in the code.

Why it matters: The amendment creates a straightforward local allowance for mobile vendors at a village park property, a change intended to support food‑service options at village events and park visitors.

The board approved the ordinance by roll call; trustees voiced no objections during the meeting. Director Simmons and other staff had previously reviewed operational and code requirements during committee discussions, the mayor said.

The ordinance amendment will take effect according to the village’s standard ordinance timetable; staff will implement permitting and operational details through existing village processes and code enforcement mechanisms.

Clarifying details from the record: the specific Village Code sections amended were 5.38.020 and 5.38.040; the board noted prior committee discussion; no motion amendments were recorded at the July 1 meeting.

Village staff will follow the ordinance with any required permitting steps for mobile vendors at Cary Lake at Rotary Park.","The Village Board approved an ordinance amending Village Code sections 5.38.020 and 5.38.040 to permit mobile food trucks at Cary Lake at Rotary Park; trustees said the measure was reviewed at committee and passed by roll call with no recorded objections.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6181140,"Cary board approves drive‑up US Bank ATM at Cary Square in 4‑3 vote",837,1274495,2111749,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5113560-051d771e1314af624c8bb8584f560e2f&start=1274&end=2111","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5113560-051d771e1314af624c8bb8584f560e2f/thumbnail_1274495.jpg","/articles/6181140/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/Cary-board-approves-driveup-US-Bank-ATM-at-Cary-Square-in-43-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181140-5010e461c9c719dcf1ba929b47724475/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156656&Signature=ED~GZyniroX75knmdrnKheFRi1mo3D1whgTpF8K6sxnsSU2m8UT7mJcpKBEJtDfv2hcgbne8UnrIWaDb6n1LcJva0t7QOV3sFviX~rQ-VruJwGFQF1FVyKrCV19wSi6kwE2Bv8y2edqL0xgqkoyFCHTZuDYiiZUGnw8pJ1KYn7KOu6xMhcjEyV6AWbasH24hhKEPkIwrlYk0Ikbt9oCLFkhjvCHv3ROGcvruPZW1TUnUh8fbeRi2xz8kOjsTjqazJrAXhahbpxjlMhsSwQoZTvxSm79NCWU4bhl4mtD~xCPy5Zd4Elbs5qFCHxo5AKoW9PTwtBIO3nwVn9QQ0d2pnA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board of Cary voted 4–3 on July 1 to approve a conditional use permit for a drive‑up US Bank ATM to be built in the Cary Square Shopping Center at 700–732 Northwest Highway.

The approved plan locates the drive‑up ATM in the shopping‑center parking area and will remove nine parking spaces from the eastern edge of the property; village staff said the existing site provides 93 spaces and that eliminating nine would leave 84, which still exceeds the minimum required 76 spaces for the subject property under the zoning code. The proposed ATM will provide stacking for up to three vehicles, above the two‑vehicle minimum identified in the development standards.

Why it matters: The drive‑up ATM is presented as a way for US Bank to maintain services in Cary after branch closures; it affects a busy shopping center where tenants and customers use shared parking.

Director Simmons summarized the petition and zoning analysis, saying the property is in the B‑2 shopping‑center business district and that the petition requires conditional‑use approval. Simmons told the board that the zoning board reviewed the request in June and recommended approval by a 5–1 vote subject to three conditions shown in the zoning packet.

Michael Villarreal of Flight Banking Centers, who identified himself as the developer for the proposed ATM, told the board the devices are \"very advanced ATMs now\" and allow deposits, cash withdrawals and other routine banking transactions in a drive‑up format. \"These are kind of a bank in a box,\" Villarreal said, adding the installations let banks serve customers without rebuilding a branch.

Trustees asked about demand and parking impacts. Director Simmons said the petitioner’s parcel is distinct from adjacent phases of the center and that the applicant provided calculations showing the parking supply meets the ordinance. No tenant comments were received in the zoning review, Simmons said.

On the board vote, Trustees Stefani, Walworth and Persino voted yes, Trustees Dudek, Collier and McCallpine voted no, producing a 3–3 tie that the mayor broke with a yes vote; the motion passed 4–3. The board’s action grants the conditional use permit; Simmons said staff will follow up on the conditions identified by the zoning board and the village’s permitting process.

Clarifying details from the record: the site’s current parking count was reported as 93 spaces; removal of nine spaces would reduce available spaces to 84 and still meet the cited minimum requirement of 76 spaces; zoning board recommendation was 5–1; the plan provides stacking for up to three vehicles; the project location was described as between the Jewel‑Osco and adjacent retail spaces and in the shared drive area.

The board’s approval allows the petitioner to move forward with permit and site‑improvement work subject to the zoning conditions and standard permitting steps; no amendments to the approved conditional use were reported at the July 1 meeting.","The Village Board approved a conditional use permit for a drive‑up US Bank ATM in the Cary Square shopping center (700–732 NW Highway).
