Homer Glen
During routine business the Village of Homer Glen board approved its consent agenda and several ordinance and land-use items, and tabled a parking adjustment request for additional information.
Key votes and items
- Consent agenda: Trustees approved accounts payable totaling $556,205.93 and accepted treasurer reports showing cash and investments (amounts cited at the meeting), by roll call; multiple trustees were recorded as voting "Aye."
- Liquor licenses: Two ordinances amending the village code to increase the number of Class D and Class A liquor licenses were moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
- Lot-size variance: The board approved a variance reducing the required lot size for a parcel at 12412 West Mackinac Road (HD 2415-B) in the R2 single-family residential zoning district after staff noted the Planning Commission's unanimous recommendation.
- Parking adjustment (14059 South Bell Road): Trustees questioned the applicant's parking photos (taken on a Saturday) and requested peak-period counts (Thursday/Friday evenings) and evidence of overflow agreements with neighboring lots. Trustee Mason moved to table the item, Trustee McNaughton seconded, and the motion carried by roll call vote.
- Veterans event: Trustees approved co-hosting an 11/03/2024 Veterans Day event at Konos Corn Maze; the motion passed by roll call.
What this means
Most items were routine approvals or requests for additional information. The parking-adjustment tabling indicates trustees want clearer evidence of peak demand and potential mitigations before changing code-required parking counts.
