A. The County Engineer shall have authority to review, approve or disapprove, in writing, plats for all properties abutting a County Highway, whether there is a request for direct access or no access requested to the County Highway.
B. 765 ILCS 205/2 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes, as amended, requires that written approval be obtained from the appropriate local highway authority regarding highway access prior to final approval and recording of a plat by a municipality or county. For County Highways, the authority is the County Engineer. The McHenry County Division of Transportation’s concern is the control of access, future planning, maintenance, and management of the County Highway right-of-way. The responsibility for determining land-use requirements rests solely with the governmental authority having the land-use regulation authority.
