Zoning board backs staff resolution recommending county adopt tree preservation ordinance
Summary
The McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to forward a staff‑draft resolution recommending the county board consider a tree preservation ordinance; the board approved the resolution 7–0 and adjourned.
After finishing action on the solar petition, the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals took up a staff‑draft resolution urging the county board to consider a tree preservation ordinance.
Staff told the board the resolution had been drafted following prior discussion and consultation with a board attorney and relevant parties. A board member noted he had reviewed the earlier hearing transcript and supported moving toward a uniform approach rather than ad hoc measures. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution on a unanimous, 7–0 vote. The matter is to be forwarded to the county board for its consideration.
With the resolution approved and no further agenda items, the chair adjourned the meeting.
