Among other matters to be handled by the County Board: Three zoning application matters are included on a consent agenda. However, one is to be considered by the County Board. It is a denial of a request by the Hearing Officer. Glenn and Ethel Kuczek who wish to construct a retirement home that would be nearly 192 square feet larger than allowed by ordinance on a lot near Cold Springs Road and Grove Lane, Algonquin Township.

The Hearing Officer recommended denial for the second time. According to the reasons stated for this denial: "The petitioners seek the requested variation for their own benefit so as to build the retirement home they desire while still keeping the adjacent lot that they own buildable. It does not appear that the Petitioners' "exclusive" objectives are to increase the monetary gain realized from their property."
