Unlike our Village officials of late, South Barrington Mayor Paula McCombie believes in transparency when it comes to informing residents on matters important to them. The following email update posted yesterday is just one example:
“The Village of South Barrington has heard some residents’ concerns regarding the recent property auction (and purported sale) conducted by the Park District and notes the suit some residents filed regarding the same auction and sale. Some of you may have yet to learn that the (purported) buyer has applied to change the Woods Planned Unit Development to allow for a church and school on a religious campus despite the property ownership issue being in litigation.
Given these concerns, the Village has filed a motion to intervene in the above mentioned suit. The Village seeks guidance from the Judge hearing the case on whether the Village should proceed further regarding the rezoning application filed by the (purported) buyer. This motion to intervene and request to stay the zoning hearing aligns with the Village’s commitment to legal compliance and transparency.”
