Rebecca (clerk/finance presenter) told trustees the village's equity was about $2,968,000, year-to-date revenue totaled roughly $4,150,000 and year-to-date expenses were about $4,036,000, producing a net income of approximately $79,000 year to date. She noted that last year at the same point the village had a loss of about $670,000. \"Equity is almost $3,000,000, $2,968,000. Revenue for the 12 months, $4,150,000; expenses $4,036,000. Net income of $79,000 compared to last year, at this point, we lost $670,000,\" she said.

Permit activity: staff reported $223,000 in permit revenue for 612 permits this year compared with 439 permits in the prior year. The presenter said the increased permit count skewed toward smaller-value permits (the 0\u0011250 range) and that the village raised some fees effective June 1, 2024, which also affected revenues.

Sales-tax and other revenue notes: staff attributed some revenue growth to online sales tax receipts, including online pharmacy sales, and noted that Illinois taxes prescriptions. \"Online pharmacy. So We're not sure if, you know, if that's all being reported at once or whether that's just starting to flow in, but it's pretty significant number for that one month,\" Rebecca said.

Consent agenda and purchases: the consent agenda summarized several items: a temporary special-event permit for a park district anniversary celebration, approval to attend the ICMA annual conference, consideration of the Baycock fiscal year 2025-26 budget (packet item), and a furniture proposal from Reiki Interiors of Elgin, Illinois in the amount of $35,440. Trustee Van Ryan moved the consent agenda and Trustee Perkins seconded; the motion was recorded as moved and seconded on the transcript.

Accounts payable: the clerk presented an accounts-payable batch in the amount of $130,323.90 dated 06/03/2025 for the board's review; no separate roll-call on each line item was recorded in the excerpt provided. The presenter also noted the open space bond fund servicing and referenced an expense to Speedway for $6,193 that was shown on the fund statements but had not yet been requested for payment.

Why it matters: the report shows a turnaround in year-to-date finances, shifting permit revenue mix, and routine operating expenditures and procurement the board considered on the consent agenda.

What happens next: staff will continue to monitor permit mix and revenue trends and will bring contract or purchase documents forward for formal approval as required by village purchasing rules.

\"My name is John Drew Paris. I live at 26844 West Lakeview Drive South,\" Paris told trustees, and he described a proposed shed site he said would be \"4 to 6 feet from the road\" and \"27 feet from the property line.\" He provided the board photos and a marked pallet layout to show the proposed location and said he did not intend to disturb the many oak trees on or adjacent to the property, calling some of them \"100 to 200 year old oak trees.\"

Paris said he had talked to his homeowners association and had provided materials in the board packet. Village staff framed the meeting portion as a courtesy review: the board would offer feedback in an open forum and no binding action or precedent would be set that night.

Why it matters: the request relates to how the village applies setback and variance rules for accessory structures in front-side lots and could affect sightlines and street frontage character if authorized.

What happens next: because the presentation was a courtesy review, no formal vote or variance approval occurred in the transcript excerpt. The resident was advised to follow the formal variance or permit application process if he chose to proceed.

","Homeowner John Drew Paris presented a courtesy review asking for feedback on a proposed shed in his front-side yard; he provided photos and said the structure would sit about 4–6 feet from the road and about 27 feet from the property line and that he sought minimal disruption to mature oak trees.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179167,"Local beekeepers present plan for retail shop and education space; trustees flag construction permitting as next step",648,2392000,3040000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5132980-85a002e0910374e09c2c44c31256dc30&start=2392&end=3040","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5132980-85a002e0910374e09c2c44c31256dc30/thumbnail_2392000.jpg","/articles/6179167/Lake-Barrington/Lake-County/Illinois/Local-beekeepers-present-plan-for-retail-shop-and-education-space-trustees-flag-construction-permitting-as-next-step","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179167-cf79bd44e0891a848d10df93da03995a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445549&Signature=YUfPXnMe3mGvAGXyGJtVHOa1bNc0254X9reYsUuKotujdxUQy57bpvSwEtivsRQ3BHKTs7acqsAazqEunLI4dAbNIjtruhA~bx2D4AZ6tEGYvo78ZEfC~o8x89okBdS3Vuen503jaYVn5T1D8eTbm9A-cOpzWIfrPkiG9nOtDeJIY3HM4W19kIlNT41n1il-b7ZfSXslqOeC3SKKJCe9I4LtW4MEiqacPxLx-yq6nBRbYvloSPoKoqTMsOfSsK4LyHktYQgSaIN0VCaBQOcP7LFcnd0Yih77fQ16FszPMDwsoandCydWeMdKptyra6C6AVrwkeJ3Fx8NLb9j2uzoaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Owners of a local beekeeping business presented a proposal June 3 for a small retail and beekeeping support facility in Lake Barrington and said they hope the village will approve construction permits when the formal application is filed.

The presenters said the business has operated for about 10 years and manages roughly 200 hives spread north of Lake Barrington through Barrington and North Barrington, with two additional employees and three principal operators. \"It's a full time business for all three of us and we have two other employees as well,\" one presenter said.

Architectural drawings were shown to the board and trustees asked questions about permitting and wetland setbacks. The applicant said the proposed building would have a stone facade, native pollinator plantings and a landscape plan prepared by a consultant named Doreen. The presenters said they want the building to look \"kind of a country feel\" and to partner with local small businesses for complementary products.

President Berg and trustees emphasized the permitting process and environmental setbacks. \"For those of you up here and maybe watching at home, the next step is the approval of the construction,\" the village president said. Trustees asked whether applicants had reviewed setback and wetland rules; the presenters said they had spoken with engineers and felt confident the site could accommodate the program.

Why it matters: the plan introduces a commercial-use site program tied to an agricultural activity (beekeeping) that may require site landscaping, stormwater and wetland setbacks and formal building permits.

What happens next: the applicants must file for construction and related permits; the board did not record a formal vote on the project during the courtesy presentation.

The proposal, presented by Matt Lsuzo, an applicant representative, would rezone Parcel 1 (about 5.06 acres) and an adjoining narrow parcel the applicants described as a six-foot strip running north-south (referred to in the village's 2017 ordinance as Parcel 2). \"Parcel 1, which is approximately 5.06 acres,\" Lsuzo said. \"Parcel 2 is a six-foot strip of land that runs north and south.\"

The applicant told trustees the parcels recently closed in escrow and that Parcel 2's chain of title appears to trace to American National Bank. \"Parcel 2 was from American National Bank,\" Lsuzo said, adding that the closing this morning deposited a deed for Parcel 1 from Chicago Title and Trust but that Parcel 2 would likely be taken by quitclaim deed to resolve the discrepancy. He asked the board to proceed with the rezoning for both parcels while the title issue is resolved.

The village president, identified in the record as President Berg, asked whether the zoning process under consideration would cover both parcels; staff confirmed applicants would need to secure clear ownership or an owner's policy for both parcels at a later stage. Lsuzo told the board his team had provided the required public notices and had previously appeared before the planning commission.

The transcript records the board's discussion of the application and a request to take the matter to a vote, and the chair asked for a motion to approve ordinance numbers the packet listed (including references to 2025-0-11 and 2025-0-12). The transcript excerpt does not record a final roll-call vote on the rezoning item.

Why it matters: rezoning will change permitted uses and development standards for the two parcels and could affect adjacent property owners and village utility or detention arrangements referenced by the applicant.

What happens next: the applicant said the next steps include ensuring title for Parcel 2 is fully cleared and obtaining any required owner's policy so that the zoning record and deed records align. The board indicated it could proceed with the public process and take future steps once ownership is resolved.

Additional context: the applicant said the two parcels had a long application timeline: the contract process began in January 2024 and closed in May 2024, with complications at closing tied to the narrow Parcel 2 ownership history. The transcript shows the village's planning commission previously considered the matter.

","Applicants asked the Lake Barrington Board of Trustees to amend the official zoning map for 22375 and 22381 North Pepper Road and noted title issues for a six-foot strip included in the application; board discussion focused on notice, parcel history and next steps rather than a recorded vote in the transcript.","actionData","errors"]
