The McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals on Dec. 2025 continued a hearing on application Z250100, a request from Serena Opel Solar LLC for a conditional use permit to build a commercial solar energy facility on about 17.886 acres on the west side of Country Club Road at its intersection with Prairie Drive in Door Township.
The moderator identified the applicant and the property by PIN 132430018 and confirmed that required notices and filings had been received. "The publisher certificate of publication from the newspaper is dated 12/13/2025 and thereby meets ordinance requirements," the moderator said, and noted the affidavit of posting (12/22/2025) and affidavit of mailing (12/11/2025) also met ordinance requirements. The moderator said the survey matches the petition and legal notice, filing fees have been paid, endangered species consultation was not required, and the McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation District report and an NRI report (251024763) had been received.
At the petitioner’s request, the board agreed to continue the hearing. The moderator announced, "This petition has been reviewed and the petitioner has asked for this hearing to be continued to January 21 at 01:30 in this same room," and stated the hearing would be continued to that date and time.
No formal motion text, vote tally, or public testimony is recorded in the available transcript. The continuation sets the next procedural step; the board is expected to reconvene on Jan. 21 at 1:30 p.m. in the same room to resume consideration of application Z250100 and any additional filings or public comment that may be presented.
