This Changes My Entire View…
Campton Hills resident Hollie Bauron and her husband Raphael purchased a home in the Foxfield subdivision in 2020. It was represented as zoned “F”. Hollie contacted the county to confirm the zoning and associated restrictions. Unfortunately, Campton Hills informed her that her parcel was actually an “R-1”.
The truth is that the Village wants to change it to an R-1 and this really affects the semi-rural lifestyle of her family, including their chickens. Hollie has invited President Mike Tyrrell and all the Trustees to her home to see what she is doing and how neat, clean and manageable a sustainable backyard homestead is.
After their visit, one Trustee announced to the Board, “This changes my entire view on livestock”. Sadly, this has not yet deterred the Board from proceeding with both reclassifying Hollie’s parcel AND prohibiting her sustainable use on her property. Why?
