Development ordinance gets fresh eyes

Five of seven new to county panel reviewing development rules

WOODSTOCK – A changed McHenry County unified development ordinance will get its second draft reviewed by a very changed planning committee.

The McHenry County Board Planning and Development Committee before the Nov. 6 election went through much of the first draft of the ordinance, which has been developed over the past two years. But five of the committee’s seven members since the election are new – a mix of newcomers and board veterans.

The plan is to move through the whole second draft and go back to tackle potentially contentious issues such as agritourism, horse racing and electronic billboards, said committee chairman Joe Gottemoller, R-Crystal Lake.
