Documents added to ZBA horse boarding code hearing package

The Village has added one hundred and fifty-three pages of testimony documents to the public information package being considered by the Zoning Board of Appeals since their hearing last Monday regarding a proposed amendment to horse boarding codes in Barrington Hills.

These documents are in the forms of court documents, resident and Village official emails, affidavits, Village engineering and Illinois Environmental Protection Agency reports and some form letters from residents who either don’t have the time or the independent thinking to express their opinions.  A copy of the entire two hundred and ninety-one page document package including newly released information can be viewed and downloaded here.

Among the new information included for public examination is information leading up to and following the issuance of the all too often mentioned “Schuman Letter.”  The documentation is included in pages 239-258 of the new package, and for ease of access for readers, we’ve extracted the pages and placed them into a file that can be read here.

A significant amount of documentation regarding detrimental rainwater and pond runoff from a boarding facility on Ridge Road resulting in flooding and apparent pollution of a neighboring property has been submitted to the board, and that documentation can be viewed here.

And, a recently written addition to the documents to be considered by the board and the public has been submitted by a resident who has provided some perspectives on the history of horse boarding debates in Barrington Hills and the most recently enacted codes can be viewed here.

The next Zoning Board hearing on this matter is scheduled for August 30th at 6:30 PM at Countryside Elementary School.  We’ll keep readers updated as more, if any, documents are added to these to be considered by the board.
