Status update on 15N803 Old Sutton Road petitions for Special Use and Variance with the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals

Posted in Cook, County, EJ&E/Canadian National, FPDCC, Hoffman Estates, Land Use, Open Meetings Act, Politics, Property Rights, Property Taxes, Public Safety, Real Estate, Roads and Bridges, School Districts, South Barrington, Traffic, Transparency, Village Clerk, Village Code, Zoning Board on October 25, 2026| 1 Comment »

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:

Minutes from the Zoning Board Hearing have been posted and state that testimony was taken, and the hearing was parked into “Unfinished Business” status before adjournment (for good reason it turns out).

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.

Per the Village of Barrington Hills website:

“The Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (CCDOTH) has notified the Village of Barrington Hills of upcoming resurfacing work on Old Sutton Road, a County-maintained roadway, between Dundee Road and County Line Road.

This Cook County project may begin as early as Monday, October 26, 2026.

Anticipated Construction Schedule

Weather permitting, the construction, being completed by Builders Paving is expected to proceed as follows:

  • Week of October 19: Installation of construction signage
  • Week of October 26: Installation of new lateral pipe culverts and hot-mix asphalt (HMA) patches over the culverts
  • Week of November 2: Milling of existing pavement
  • Week of November 9: Placement of new asphalt surface course

Traffic Impacts and Access

One lane of traffic will remain open during daytime construction activities, with flaggers directing motorists through the work zone. Both lanes will reopen during non-working hours.

Access for residents and emergency vehicles will be maintained throughout construction. However, motorists should anticipate potential delays and allow additional travel time when traveling through the area.

Project Questions

Cook County is responsible for managing this roadway improvement project. Residents with questions or concerns about the work should contact Cook County’s project representative, Brian Cameron, at Brian.Cameron@mbakerintl.com.

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that culvert repairs at the intersection of Illinois 59 and Dundee Road (Illinois 68), in Barrington Hills, will begin, weather permitting, Wednesday, Sept. 30. ​

To complete the work, daytime lane closures will be required approaching the intersection. At least one lane will remain open in both directions during the construction. ​

The project is anticipated to be completed in November.

The public can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Alternate routes are encouraged. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.

Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve 7,107 lane miles of highway and 8.4 million square feet of bridge deck as part of Rebuild Illinois, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation. Accomplishments through Year Seven of Rebuild Illinois include $25.6 billion of improvements statewide to 24,498 lane miles of highway, 959 bridges and 1,475 additional safety improvements.
