Summary
At its April 27 meeting the Village of Huntley Board approved the Consent Agenda and three notable measures: a façade improvement grant for Huntley Dairy Mart, rezoning and preliminary plat for Pod 9 (Talamore), and an updated intergovernmental agreement with the Huntley Fire Protection District.
The Village of Huntley Board approved a package of routine and substantive items during its April 27 meeting, including the Consent Agenda and several resolutions and ordinances affecting local development and public safety.
The Consent Agenda — which included the April 27 bill list of $680,684.25 and multiple payout requests — was approved 6‑0 (motion: Trustee Harry Leopold; second: Trustee Ronda Goldman). The Board followed with a 6‑0 vote to approve a Façade Improvement Assistance Program grant for Huntley Dairy Mart, a conceptual safety measure using large concrete planters along the Route 47 frontage. Trustee JR Westberg moved the façade grant; Trustee Niko Kanakaris seconded. Director of Development Services Charles Nordman told the Board the project’s preliminary cost is about $12,000 and that program rules (50% reimbursement up to $10,000 per project) would allow a maximum reimbursement of $6,000 for this request.
On land use, the Board voted 6‑0 to adopt an ordinance rezoning and approving a preliminary plat for Pod 9 of the Talamore subdivision (mover: Trustee Niko Kanakaris; second: Trustee Harry Leopold). The proposal from developer Lennar covers about 118 acres and would create 97 age‑targeted single‑family lots and 82 townhome units; the approval was conditioned on standard engineering, stormwater and landscaping requirements, buyer disclosure for certain lots and the dedication of land for a future Algonquin Road extension.
The Board also voted 6‑0 to approve an updated intergovernmental agreement with the Huntley Fire Protection District governing plan review, inspections and fire‑code enforcement (mover: Trustee JR Westberg; second: Trustee Mary Holzkopf). Staff said the revised agreement allows the Fire District to perform sprinkler and alarm plan reviews previously sent to an outside consultant and that building‑permit fees collected by the Village would be remitted to the District.
No votes were taken on the conceptual Kelley’s Market presentation or the downtown parking discussion; both items were considered for feedback and potential future ordinance action. The meeting adjourned at 8:28 p.m.
