The Chronicle | More seek to disconnect in Campton Hills
The Chronicle | More seek to disconnect in Campton Hills: "CAMPTON HILLS – Eleven neighbors of Campton Hills Village President Patsy Smith have filed a petition to disconnect from the village, court records show.
The petition, filed late Thursday in Kane County Circuit Court, covers 32 acres and 20 residents of the Homeward Glen subdivision where Smith lives, attorney Timothy Elliott said.
The disconnect area would rely on previously disconnected property that would form the new border for the village, Elliott said."

I represent an owner in Homeward Glen in a lawsuit filed by the HOA that we won on summary judgment, and that is now on appeal. The Homeward Glen saga is a great example of what is wrong with the HOA as an institution. It has everything: HOA election craziness, bizarre covenant interpretation, expensive litigation that should have been avoided, municipal incorporation and disconnection, and even alpacas. That's right. I said alpacas.
