Barrington Hills board spurns flower farm

The owners of the Little Ducky Flower Farm will have to work harder to get their ducks in a row.

Barrington Hills village trustees for the second time turned down Chris Yamamoto and wife Sarah Gul’s request for a new zoning category that would allow them to open the farm to the public as a special use.

In August, the board unanimously rejected a proposal to have zoning for agritourism in a residential district. Then on Monday, a category for agricultural experience.

The couple began operating the farm on their six-acre property on Dundee Road in 2022, letting people come in and pick flowers for a fee, until the village sent them a letter earlier this year ordering them to stop. Since then, they have operated as a delivery service.

Both the Zoning Board of Appeals and the village board took issue with having a commercial use on residential property. Yamamoto said the fees were charged to offset the cost of operating the farm, which also has sheep and ducks.

“We are a residential community,” Trustee Thomas Strauss said. “Our duty as trustees is to uphold the values of the community.”

Attendees of last night’s Board of Trustees were treated to a very rare experience: all seven (7) members of the current Barrington Hills Board of Trustees were in attendance up close and personal.  The last time a sighting like this occurred was the May 8, 2023, BOT meeting to certify results of the April 4, 2023 Consolidated Election (a photo of the event captured above).

Last night, the board unanimously voted to approve Kyle Murphy as the next Chief of Police for the Village of Barrington Hills. The board also voted 6-0 against a proposed ordinance amendment to a allow Agritourism as a special use. President Cecola did not cast a vote.

Recordings of the meeting will be posted when they become available.
