Zoning Board approves Kelley Road Farms request - Rockford, IL - Rockford Register Star

 

A major source of contention is a 60-plus-foot-wide driveway Tortorici and Nelson share with neighbor Steve Sextonson, his wife and other easement holders.

The unincorporated Caledonia Township couple want to use their homegrown vegetables and other ingredients to create sauces and other recipes in their FDA-approved kitchen to sell items online, in small boutique retail outlets and at their private dinners at 722 Kelly Road to be attended by no more than 30 guests.

a result of concerns building in recent weeks, the Belvidere-Boone County Planning staff added restrictions into the special use which would restrict the couple to hosting two parties a week, between the hours of 7 and 11 p.m. and with low lighting, if any, for a guest parking area. There are a total of 15 restrictions, including an operating season for the onsite dinners.
