Opposition To Gravel Pit < Voiced At Zoning Hearing The Zoning board took all facts under advisement and planned, tentatively, to make a statement as to its recommen­ dation to the board of super­ visors within thirty days to grant or deny the conditional use permit. About fifty persons attended the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals hearing in Mc­ Henry recently to hear testi­ mony concerning a proposed 55-acre gravel pit on the Wil­ son farm on Bay road (Big Hollow road). The petitioners, Donald But­ ler and William Hamil, and the Bank of Lyons as Trustee un­ der Trust No. 1091, are seek­ ing a conditional use permit to crush, wash and grade grav­ el. This conditional use permit has been requested to last for the period of the fifteen year lease with the option to re­ new for five more years. The objectioners' petition­ ers' attorneys questioned six persons who gave testimony in opposition to the gravel pit. Favorable witnesses were heard at previous hearings. Wm. Franz submitted objec­ tions signed by 479 residents of the surrounding area indi­ cating their objection to the gravel pit. Petitions opposing the pit were submitted as ob­ jections to the conditional use permit by 66 percent of the abut­ ting property owners. The objecting witnesses claimed that a gravel pit will have deteriorating effects on the property values in the bas­ ically residential^ area. They testified as to their concern over the dust,^noise from both processing equipment and trucks and the contributing con­ gestion of additional truck traf­ fic on the comparatively nar­ row roadway. One witness fear­ ed that a general disturbance could continue for at least fif­ teen years. Slides and aerial views were entered as information to show the beautiful tamarak bogs that are contiguous to the proposed pit area and form one part of the whole slew environment that supports the rare tamarak trees of Illinois. Testimony given by Dr. Eliz­ abeth Lunn, professor of Bi­ ology at Lake Forest college, supported the slides as authen­ tically depicting the tamarak bog and verifying that they are rare in Illinois and have im­ portant study and museum val­ ues. Dr. Lunn clearly indicated that the rare plant life and tamarake could not survive if the water table was tampered with even in a small measure. There are certain acidic con­ ditions which support the flora; and, dilution of the supporting solution, will hasten the death DEATHS ALYERD A. GOSSE Alyerd A.

The objectors testified that the natural wilderness of the bog enhances their property values; whereas, a gravel pit could not have anything but harmful effects through the pro­ cess of filling in and "reclaim­ ing" with the silt residue from the washing. Testimony was also given pertaining to problems of en­ forcement of restrictions a- greed to on gravel pits pre­ viously and presently operating in the area. It was testified that restrictions were not ad­ hered lo in many specifically documented instances, and that it had been reported that pol­ icing is difficult to maintain during weekends and late eve­ ning hours.
