4. PUBLIC COMMENT

A. Public comment is limited to three minutes per person, at the beginning of the meeting. Any comment on Zoning items must be limited to discussion of testimony and/or evidence presented in the Zoning Board of Appeals. No new testimony or evidence can be presented.

Mary Jordan spoke on behalf of her and her husband Bill in support of Petition Z21-080- Halladay. She shared with the committee that her husband built the barn on the property and they would like to see it still be used for recreation. The only difference would be that Ms. Halladay plans to live on the property along with the boarding of her animals. She feels that some people might be confused about the use, as signs have been posted near the property stating that this conditional use will change the zoning of the property to commercial, which is incorrect.

Sharon Nolan, an area real estate agent and an associate of Sarah Halladay, spoke in support of her petition. She compared Ms. Halliday's current property to 27W315 Butterfield Road in Warrenville (subject property). She added that Ms. Halladay keeps her current property in pristine condition and has passed all of her inspections. This new location would not impact the residential neighborhood, because the entrance and exit would be off Butterfield Road. She encouraged the Committee to review the information and support the petition.

An electronic comment was received from Anthony Ranieri of 4S120 Curtis Avenue, Warrenville. He owns a three acre property and has always followed the established rules of one horse for the first acre and an additional horse for each 1/2 additional acre. He requested the Committee deny this petition, because he feels too many animals will be living at the property. He feels this amounts to inhumanely warehousing animals.
