Public Hearing on Wind Power in Lake County
I received the following e-mail this morning from my Lake County Board representative, Ann Maine (District 21) - this is a topic that I thought my neighbors along Rockland Road would find especially interesting. There will be a public hearing on the topic of Wind Power in Lake County. Thanks again to Ann for keeping us updated with what's going on with Lake County Government!
A note from Ann
Dear Neighbors,
We hear a lot about alternative energy. One area of particular interest is harnessing the power of wind to create energy for homes and businesses. Many of the communities in Lake County, including Libertyville and Lincolnshire, among others have a moratorium on the installation of wind turbines until they can create a series of regulations on size, placement and hours of operation.
The staff of Lake County's Planning, Building and Development Department spearheaded a task force that included representatives from over 20 Lake County Communities. The task force investigated types of wind power, heights and impacts to the environment and neighborhood to create a siting ordinance.
On Monday, April 26 at 1 pmthe Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a public hearing regarding the permitting of wind energy facilities, height restrictions, setbacks, and operating conditions of wind energy facilities and the penalties and enforcement for violations of the proposed regulations. This would only be for unincorporated land in Lake County. However, villages and towns may wish to incorporate some of these ideas. The hearing will be held at the County's new Permit facility at 500 Winchester Road in Libertyville. The Public in encouraged to come to listen, learn and comment.
You can watch a video on wind power in Lake County or read the draft ordinance. If you are unable to attend the meeting but have comments or concerns, please email your thoughts to David Husemoller at dhusemoller@lakecountyil.gov.
Lake County Fielders Baseball Team Needs Host Families
Lake County's newest sports team, the Lake County Fielders baseball team, is asking local residents to consider becoming a host family for one of their 25 players. In an e-mail, the team Community Relations manager said that they "ask that our host families be able to provide a private bedroom for a player. Meals and transportation are not required, though it is always appreciated when they are provided when needed. In return for opening up your home to a player, the Fielders will provide you with the equivalent of four season tickets as well as season ticket holder privileges and invitations."
Anyone interested in hosting a player should contact: Beth Alderson @ 847-731-8000 or beth@fieldersbaseball.com.
