Here are some excerpts from South Barrington Mayor Paula McCombie’s weekly updates to residents:
“Building and Zoning Meeting Update
The Village has recently held several Plan Commission meetings. This body, consisting of seven members and formally known as the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals, recommends zoning district boundaries, regulations, and amendments to the local council. It is responsible for both planning and zoning functions, including processing applications for zoning, and planning changes, collecting data on land use adjustments for the Village, and staying informed on best practices for village planning and zoning and similar issues in the region. The Commission advises on traffic movement, the separation of residential and business districts, and the safety and convenience of people and property, and oversees the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. The Commission’s powers and duties are defined by the Village’s Zoning Ordinance and other applicable ordinances, and it makes recommendations to the Village Board for approval or denial.
We had a full house at the Plan Commission meeting this week on Monday the 26th. The two main items on the agenda were Forest View Estates and Area N. The Public Hearings will continue on Sept. 23rd.
Fall Festival
It is hard to believe but next weekend, on Sept. 7th, Goebbert’s will be open for their Fall Festival! They have everything from pig races and wagon rides to haunted houses and corn mazes. Be sure to visit the General Store, Farmer’s Market, and bakery (AND DON’T forget the apple cider donuts!). Goebbert’s is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., costs vary depending on activities.
