15N803 Old Sutton Road via Google Maps
On September 18th we posted information regarding a Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals Public Hearing regarding an unincorporated Cook County property near the Village border taking place September 23, 2026. This was in addition to a previous post by the Village on September 15th.
Information currently available regarding the September 23rd public hearing include:
- 15N803 Old Sutton Road Application
- Application objections, and
- Additional application objection
Minutes from the Zoning Board Hearing have been posted and state only that testimony was taken.
Audio recordings from the September 28th Barrington Hills Board of Trustees meeting (found here) reveal that apparently objections to the application, as well as the application itself, were not sufficiently made available to the public to review prior to the September 23rd hearing. Therefore, continuation of the hearing was postponed until (at least) January 2027.
Further, it was not decided it additional objections would be admissible in to the record considering original objections were not fully made public. If additional comments/objections are allowed, we will notify readers.
Residents who attended the ZBA meeting, including myself, were only afforded a small amount of time at the very end of the meeting to make comments. As opposed to the petitioners’ legal counsel who was afforded the vast majority of the meeting. Further, plans provided for the proposed site were not consistent with the description at the meeting. And the petitioners’ legal counsel appears to have misrepresented facts on the record. I could go on.
1) People told me they sent objections that are on the Cook list. If they were truthful then they need to call village hall immediately and let them know of the omission. 2) VBH did not have an attorney representing us at the hearing. Why? 3) I’m very pleased to now have this information but must ask why it didn’t come from village hall?
Allowing 50 huge asphalt dump trucks and driver vehicles to operate out of a residential property on Old Sutton Road, plus build a 20+ foot tall truck garage, seems ludicrous on its face. Don’t assume that Cook County ZBA won’t recommend to approve this! In addition, soon to be considered is Husky Trans, Inc. that hopes to locate his semi-truck terminal at the SE corner of Old Sutton Road and Penny. Send in your objections! Let Cook County Building & Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) know you object! This is the Southern Gateway to Barrington Hills! It will impact you!
