Presenters Sue Raymore and Anne Verdebeck described the project’s goals — reducing pesticide and neonicotinoid use, increasing native plantings, certifying homes under the National Wildlife Federation Community Wildlife Habitat program and community education at the farmers market. Raymore said the group has completed registration and was “5 points away from the administration” category needed for certification and planned in-person outreach at the farmers market beginning June 6.

The presenters asked for either a village proclamation or a letter of support to include in brochures the group planned to distribute at the farmers market. Staff (Clara) said proclamations are typically issued by the village president and that a letter of support might be the faster option; she offered to follow up on the exact process. Committee members discussed whether additional letters or proclamations would add points toward the National Wildlife Federation certification; presenters said they were unsure of exact point values and that village support primarily helps with outreach and recognition.

After discussion, the committee approved a motion recommending that the village president and board support the efforts of Growing Native Habitat Lake Bluff. The recorded votes were in favor from Member Hance, Member Manglecock, Member Buscio and Member Cole; the motion passed. Presenters and staff said they would follow up about the preferred form (letter or proclamation) and timing so the group could include village support in promotional materials before the farmer’s market date.","The committee voted to recommend that the village president and board support Growing Native Habitat Lake Bluff with a letter of support or proclamation to aid the group’s National Wildlife Federation certification efforts.",{"_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},6223314,"Committee approves backyard chicken permit for 120 West Center Avenue",207,369000,576000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3576536-67e88ea469a3b0cbf1eed828065ccf60&start=369&end=576","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3576536-67e88ea469a3b0cbf1eed828065ccf60/thumbnail_369000.jpg","/articles/6223314/Lake-Bluff/Lake-County/Illinois/Committee-approves-backyard-chicken-permit-for-120-West-Center-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6223314-b316f6958c3e1e8e8611ab61b7930c45/orig.mp4?Expires=1773588647&Signature=kqpo1nSG4R78LmI0PmStXs9xQCAHd9~kffOsV~2HNoxT6EgFZ0hPoJcHSdDwx38~gVG6vcPRhZMBSCsxWCiP~daQcobMZIbgmdEBgCMJqFIg5W5ZHzwHCMxfGRYNs7GE5srAh-8AYcRXN6NoekuyXEdlb9NrMbRByWjBGP5NzGsjaBOmB-TWhoZqFuK-K8zdDRZl467G8P7ibhxBybOpxaKG1Cv6ryiPFyfesz367RRJYQgmNzX1aWbVoQOVjn0HpWcD~u1--LF3yaaP-exEYpgCjmChGsCF-S~KrgP7kOc4gdYX3i3rzkNCArEIzo9Q4uKCgvFJgSKnkibYqc17~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake Bluff Sustainability and Environmental Committee unanimously approved a backyard chicken application for 120 West Center Avenue after the applicant described her planned care, breeds and containment.

Applicant Becky Dragovich said her family lives on a quarter-acre lot, has a 6-year-old who will help care for the birds and intends to keep the flock in a large enclosed run. She said they planned Buff and Lavender Orpington breeds because they are friendly, cold-hardy and typically lay about 200 eggs per year. Dragovich said she has not raised chickens before but felt comfortable adding them to the household alongside existing pets.

Committee members asked about timing and containment; members expressed no objections after staff confirmed the application materials and site review. After a motion and second to vote, the committee recorded aye votes from Member Cole, Member Hance, Member Manglecock and Member Buscio.

Applicant Jonathan Love, who said he moved to Lake Bluff from North Carolina about a year ago, told the committee he had kept two hives for three years and “harvested about 48 pounds of honey” from those hives. He said he overwintered colonies successfully two of the three years and described practices he would use to minimize neighbor impacts, including frequent inspections, ensuring hives have adequate resources and space, and “taking swift mitigated actions” if he saw signs of swarming.

The committee chair pro tem asked whether Love had notified neighbors; Love replied he had provided a one-page summary to neighbors, had spoken with most in person and said their responses were “mostly met with positive, and and excited, feedback.” Staff confirmed the village had sent notice letters to adjoining property owners and received no comments back.

Committee members indicated no site-inspection issues. After a motion and second to move to a vote, the committee recorded votes in favor: Member Buscio (approve), Member Cole (yes), Member Hance (yes) and Member Manglecock (yes). The motion passed and staff said they would follow up with next steps.

The committee’s approval was a permit/vote only; no additional conditions, permit timeline, or enforcement steps beyond standard village processes were specified during the discussion.","The Lake Bluff Sustainability and Environmental Committee voted to approve a bee-keeping license for Jonathan Love at 415 Lincoln Avenue after he described his prior experience and neighborhood outreach.","actionData","errors"]
