Our Zoning Board of Appeals will be holding their regular monthly meeting tomorrow evening beginning at 6:30 PM. Topics on their agenda include:

Public Hearing

  • An Application for an Amendment to an Existing Special Use, made by the Barrington Hills Polo Club for property located at 350 Bateman Road, PIN 01- 07-200-001
  • Text Amendment to Section 5-3-9 Bulk Regulations Relative to Berm & Fence Heights Initiated by the Zoning Board of Appeals (tabled from July 15, 2024)

Public Meeting

  • [Vote] Text Amendment to Section 5-3-9 Bulk Regulations Relative to Berm & Fence Heights Initiated by the Zoning Board of Appeals

A copy of the 100-page agenda can be viewed and downloaded here.

Editorial note: The two (2) public hearing notices published in the Daily Herald listed the PIN for 350 Bateman Road as 01- 07-200-001. The agenda for tomorrow’s meeting also states, “350 Bateman Road, PIN 01- 07-200-001.”

However, the notice sign (seen at top) on the subject property we photographed Friday clearly reads, “350 Bateman Road, PIN 01-06-401-014.” Not to pick at nits, but that isn’t even close.
