“Scores of residents at Wednesday night’s Barrington Hills Zoning Board of Appeals meeting expressed their displeasure with a proposed ordinance that would limit how much light could be emitted from their properties.
The village is considering a proposed ordinance to help bring ‘dark sky’ designation to the village, which would be bestowed by the Arizona-based International Dark-Sky Association, which encourages astronomy. Wording in a draft of the ordinance would limit lumen output of lights in the village and restrict where the lights could be located.”
