Following a public hearing held on November 9th, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted 6-1 in favor of sending a recommendation to the Village Board of Trustees to repeal the so-called Anderson II or LeCompte/Anderson commercial horse boarding amendments to Village Codes enacted in 2015. The sole dissenting vote was cast by Patrick Hennelly.
Zoning Board members discussed creating appropriate and fair new codes for horse boarding in the future, however the consensus seemed to be that the Anderson II amendment allowed far too much adverse exposure to neighboring property owners to remain on the books in the interim. Horse boarding will fall back under the Home Occupation Ordinance as it had been since 2006 under the board’s recommendation.
As always, when audio recordings from the meeting become available, we’ll have much more to report from the three and a half hour meeting Wednesday night.
