Bill attended the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting last night. See agenda at: http://www.boonecountyil.org/sites/default/files/ZBA%20NOV%2026,%202013.pdf
New business was handled first. The Belvidere Township Park District Case# 15-2013 drew much attention and concern. The neighboring industrial site (in the City of Belvidere) just received city approval of a clean room for 3D printing (plastic parts manufacture) and contends their operation will be aversely affective by the dust and possible contamination from fuel station and mulch storage proposed by the park district. After much discussion the applicant and its neighbor agreed to arrange a meeting and see if some compromise can be worked out. The case will be on the December 17, 2013 ZBA agenda.
Setback for Wind Ordinance: The questioning of the staff summary finally ended at 9:50PM and next month the ZBA will begin its deliberations and hopefully reach its decision and vote. It appears that this contentious issue will finally reach the county board in January 2014.
