LITH Finds Renter for Larsen Property

The property is expected to be used for boarding and training horses.

It looks like a village-owned property on Pyott will soon have a new renter.  The Lake in the Hills Village Board on Thursday approved an equestrian center lease with the owner of Dynasty Farm, Inc., Jennifer Valanti, for the property at 1109 Pyott Road. Valanti will use the facility for boarding and training horses.  The lease includes the 9.5 acres of land and all of the primary buildings except for the main barn, according to village board documents.   The village has been looking for someone to lease the property since the last renter left the stable facility in a state of disarray — littered with piles of debris and manure. The village cleaned up the property and put it back up for rent. As part of her the lease, Valanti has agreed to…

Poll: What Should LITH Do With Pyott Road Horse Stable?

Village administration is looking to the Village Board for direction on what to do with the equestrian center, which is located on 9.5 acres of the Larsen property, 1109 Pyott Road

The Lake in the Hills Village Board met in a special meeting last week to discuss the fate of a village-owned horse stable on Pyott Road.  The village administration is looking to the Village Board for direction on what to do with the equestrian center, which is located on 9.5 acres of the Larsen property, 1109 Pyott Road. It includes two indoor riding arenas, 57 stalls and an attached hay and storage barn. There also is an outdoor riding arena and an office. In the past, the horse stable was rented out but has been sitting vacant for several months since its former tenant, Somerset Sport Horse Equestrian Center, moved out and left the facility in disarray.  Since February, village staff has had little luck in finding a renter.  The …

Really sad how the media & government can spin things so it's always someone else's fault. My daughter actually rode there and we were witnesses to the village harassing the renter's. They had an agenda. The renter's took very good care of the property and their horses and had to stay within guidelines given to them. Any property disarray I saw was because they weren't allowed to make any further…   more ›

Lake in the Hills Considers Next Step at Horse Stable

A Strategic Planning and Organization Topic Meeting will be held tonight to discuss the future of the Larsen property at 1109 Pyott Road.

The Lake in the Hills Village Board will meet tonight to discuss what's next for a village-owned horse stable on Pyott Road.  The Strategic Planning and Organization Topic Meeting will start at 6 p.m. at Village Hall, 600 Harvest Gate, where trustees will go over potential ideas for use of a now-vacated equestrian center as well as a home on the Larsen property at 1109 Pyott Road. The village-owned stable is on 9.5 acres and includes two indoor riding arenas, 57 stalls and an attached hay and storage barn.

The village should put in a pool in that open area. LITH has to pay extra to go swimming in neighboring towns.   more ›
