PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1975 CONTINUE PIT HEARING FOR CHANGES (Continued from page 1) Council chamber primarily concerned cross examination of Arvid Tienson by City Attorney Bernard Narusis, who is representing the city of McHenry, which is opposed to the zoning change. Tienson is director of Environmental Quality and Safety for Material Services corporation (MSC). Under questioning by Narusis, it was brought out that the County Superintendent of Highways specifically in­ dicated he would be opposed to gravel trucks using Chapel Hill road going north from the pit. This would mean that trucks going west would have to use Route 120 through the city of McHenry, Tienson noted. When Narusis asked if Tienson was familiar with traffic problems on Route 120 through the city, he said he was not. Tienson also testified he had no knowledge of area population, number of schools, number of residences or number of commercial uses conducted within one-quarter mile to a mile and a half of the proposed pit. In answer to a question by Narusis, Tienson said he was not familiar with an adopted Comprehensive plan of the city of McHenry for the neigh­ borhood abutting the west and south of the property in question. However, Tienson said a comprehensive plan was not one of the guidelines used to determine the safety of an operation. "There are many, many factors that effect the operation far more than a comprehensive plan." Narusis said, "To be specific, not knowing what the com­ prehensive plan of the city of McHenry has in it, you are not able to testify as to the impact of the proposed pit on that comprehensive & development. Is that correct?" Tienson admitted he was not able to do so. Narusis revealed that in talking to County Superin­ tendent of Highways, he was informed that the per axle load limit on Chapel Hill road can be lowered from the regular 8 ton per axle limit to 4 ton per axle during certain severe weather conditions such as periods of thawing. Narusis told Tienson it was his understanding an agreement had been reached with the County Superintendent that if the pit was there and in operation, "the roads would not be posted during those times and your trucks would be permitted to use those roads notwithstanding that 4 ton per axle limitation," if MSC agreed to repair the roads during that period of time. Tienson said the question of whether the roads would or would not be posted was not clarified. However, he said if the roads were posted to a 4-ton per axle limit during a certain period of time, MSC would abide by it and shut down its pit operations. During the proceedings, objectors in the audience were given the opportunity to cross examine Tienson. Marilyn Salo of 1211 N. Eastwood lane said she had knowledge of a 50-acre pit which has put out 300 loads a day. She asked Tienson what was the maximum number of loads that could be put out by this 121-acre pit. He replied that several hundred loads or more could be shipped from the proposed pit. He said the limiting factor would be the equipment which is one scale and two front end loaders. However, Tienson admitted that more equipment could be brought in if a large, major construction project called for it. Another objector asked why people in the area hadn't been surveyed individually con­ cerning the operation. Tienson answered that it was his un­ derstanding zoning board hearings were conducted for this purpose. Everyone is welcome to attend the hearings and present their views. Mrs. Frances Schmitt of 2707 N. Chapel Hill road wondered if the proposed acceleration lanes were adequate. She asked, "How much distance does it take a loaded gravel truck to reach the speed limit of 40 mph?" She noted that if a truck were south-bound from the proposed pit entrance it would hold up traffic north of the chapel for quite a distance because it is a no passing zone. Mrs. Schmitt asked if MSC felt the proposed ingress and egress points were at safe locations and if the proposed acceleration lanes were adequate considering the above facts. Tienson said he felt they were adequate if properly con­ structed. Mel Stephenson of 2305 W. Country lane pointed out that east of the intersection of Chapel Hill road and route 120, there is a curve and a hill. He noted many accidents have occurred at this location arid wondered about the safety factor with west-bound cars approaching that intersection and a slow moving, loaded truck pulling away from the intersection. Tienson said that if it should be determined a traffic light is needed at that intersection, MSC would do everything it could to help get a stop light. Jack Kelsey of 2810 N. Wooded lane was concerned with the possibility of MSC a c q u i r i n g a d d i t i o n a l surrounding farm property and having sand and gravel con- BUSINESS MAN OF MANY YEARS DIES AT AGE 63 (Continued from page 1) 25, 1911, in McHenry, son of Henry and Christine (Buss) Do we. He was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters. Survivors are his wife, Genevieve (Young) Dowe, to whom he was'married July 18, 1933, in McHenry. He also leaves one daughter, Mrs. Wayne (Charlene) Kraus of McHenry; three sons, Eugene and Gerald of McHenry" and Thomas, stationed with the Navy in El Cajon, Calif; also ten grandchildren. A funeral Mass was offered at 10 o'clock, Monday in St. Patrick Catholic church. Burial was in St. Mary's cemetery. Memorials may be made to the McHenry Area Rescue squad veyed to the proposed site for processing. Bishop interjected that MSC has previously stated, "We would stipulate that under no circumstances would we process any sand and gravel on this 120 acres that comes from any other land to the east, north, south or west." He in­ dicated MSC would lose its conditional use rating if it deviated from this plan. Mrs. Robert Nolan of 2601 N. Chapel Hill road expressed concern for school children. She noted there is a school within one mile of the proposed pit and children within l>/2 miles are required to walk to school. She also stressed that ten school buses a day make stops in the general area. Another mother pointed out children are required to stand along the road waiting for school buses. She was worried about the possibility of children being splashed by truck tires or hit by flying gravel from the trucks. OFFER FIRST ART LECTURE (Continued from page 1) prefers to leave his welds "unfinished" giving his pieces a strong tactile quality. Presently corporate ar{ director for Oak Industries, he traces his interest in direct metal sculpture to his days as a welder in his home town of Lockport, 111. Often called on to judge art fairs and contest, Greene feels strongly about art education. "I often find people whose initial reaction to my work is negative will come up to me after my talk and tell me that they will not be able to appreciate metal sculpture because my talk shows them how and why it's done". VOTER LEAGUE ASSISTS SATURDAY RECYCLING DAY (Continued from page 1) The public is asked to please cooperate by tying paper, flattening cans and removing metal from bottles. It is im­ possible for all of this to be done by the workers on the day of the drive. GRASS FIRES McHenry Township Fire companies were kept busy this past weekend answering calls on grass fires.

Ringwood road. Sunday night, another fire was reported at Oak and Prairie in Lakeland Park. Company Two was called out Monday morning to a similar fire in Sunnyside, north of Johnsburg.
