The Finance Committee will be meeting this evening at 6:00 PM. A copy of their agenda can be viewed here.
At 7:30, the Zoning Board of Appeals will be holding a public hearing on a text amendment proposal regarding Village horse boarding codes. Since we first posted this agenda on Friday (seen here), some Riding Club members, including a handful of “radicals” in the herd, have taken to social media with an “urgent” call to attend this meeting, so it would be in the best interest of fairness that those who objected to the passage of the LeCompte/Anderson amendment to attend and perhaps speak.
We have not fully reviewed the proposal which the Zoning Board will be considering tonight, however we would like to remind readers of our observations in our December 2014 editorial — “Our views on the latest horse boarding text amendment proposal” — regarding the amendment petition that was ultimately passed by the Village Board in early 2015 despite valid objections voiced by many residents and a presidential veto. Click here revisit that editorial.
Here’s a Face Book comment from one of the radical jihadist equestrians: “These DRURY people NEED TO MOVE THE HELL OUT OF BARRINGTON HILLS!!!”
So I guess the message here is the radicals want to be able to do virtually anything they want all hours of the day or night and if neighbors don’t like it they should move. With obnoxious, arrogant attitudes like that this community will never come together.
Pretty sad if you ask me. Pathetic actually…
Yes they are all over social media, curious if some of them are even residents. In past meetings, people who have spoken are not even from the Barrington area and are grossly misinformed of the details. They label this as “anti-equestrian”. The restrictions are actually very reasonable – who wants a business to move in next door to have more than two horses per acre, over 20 stalls, heavy lighting, traffic, noise, no discussion? It’s unsightly, and also unhealthy for the horses.
