& PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1975 ZONING BOARD TO RENDER MSC DECISION (Continued From Page 1) Attorney Narusis began his closing arguments by telling the zoning board that unless everyone of . the standards spelled out in the County Zoning ordinance had been met, it could not grant a Conditional Use permit. Narusis reviewed individual testimony given by witnesses for the petitioners. H# pointed out that in order to grant the permit, there must be a finding of public necessity. Narusis contended that testimony given by Dick Jones, Pope Schoen- berger and Linden Dean did not bear out that .there is a necessity for another gravel operation in the area. He argued that testimony given by Dean that this would be thie best pit in the county was not valid since no survey had been taken from any of the other eight pits in the im­ mediate area. "The witnesses all concluded the same thing, 'Yes, this is necessary for MSC' but when you examine what they ac­ tually said aside from their conclusions, you find that their testimonv or evidence is glaringly deficient," Narusis contended. "Their conclusion that this is the best gravel deposit in the county just doesn't stack up against the evidence they of­ fered," he argued. "They can't tell you that because they didn't make any tests anywhere," Narusis stated. He pointed out that the burden isn't on the objector to prove lack of necessity, the burden of proof is on the petitioner to show necessity. "We submit to you very simply that they utterly failed to show public necessity for another gravel pit operation in this county," Narusis said. To grant a permit, the board must find no detriment to public health, safety, comfort, or general welfare. Considering the increased truck traffic that would be generated from this operation, the unknown factor as to how many trucks there would be a day or in what direction they would be •traveling, Narusis contended there would be a danger to public safety and general welfare. Commenting on the stipulation by MSC that no trucks would go through the city of McHenry on Route 120, Narusis cited testimony by Jones that truck traffic would come down North Route 31 and use Route 120 to get to South Route 31. Narusis pointed out that this route passes through the central business district of McHenry. He also noted that there was no legal basis or ordinance or law on the books of this state that would authorize stopping gravel trucks from using a st£(te highway. "That stipulation is utterly meaningless and it's facetious and we submit that you have to disregard that for its zero value," Narusis told the board. He said Tiensen's testimony that there would be no traffic ^n'obkrTTf'Jn the area was worthless Deeause the only study Tiensen had made of the traffic problem at all in the area was when he drove out to the premises in question on two occasions and said, he made some "eye ball observations of the intersection of Route 120 and Chapel Hill road and he personally observed on those couple of occasions that it was really difficult to get onto 120 from Chapel Hill road." He felt Tiensen had no concept of the area involved, in fact. "There is no evidence to support the contention that this operation would not be detrimental to the area or its general welfare," Narusis said. Regarding proposed rehabilitation plans which Narusis referred to as "a bunch of pretty pictures," he pointed out that John Quay, director of the McHenry County Regional Planning commission, characterized the proposed plans as "ambigious, unclear and uninforcible." "Quay testified that as far as he was concerned, his staff couldn't support the proposed rehabilitation plans and, in fact, he was opposed to it," Narusis stressed. Narusis summarized by telling the board, "When you examine all this testimony you have heard over all these hours, the testimony just doesn't support the thing that the petition is requesting. Evidence is not there to support the standards that must be met by this petitioner," he stated. "We submit in all seriousness that as a representative of the city of McHenry, that this zoning board should not and cannot recommend the issuance of this Conditional Use permit because the standards established by the McHenry County Zoning ordiance are not, in fact, met," Narusis concluded At this point, Chairman June Girard complimented both attorneys "for good professional conduct" and the audience and objectors for their exemplar behavior during the course of the hearings. She then announced that the zoning board would consider the petition on Oct. 21 at 8:30 a.m. in the county courthouse.

He was preceded in death by a son, John, in 1965 and a Farmers Must Heed Workmen's Compensation Act The potential accidental injury liability of many Illinois farmers who employ labor has been significantly altered by recent state legislation. Fur­ thermore, many farmers will be subject to a possible fine if they do not take certain action now, says George Young, University of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry County. Effective July 1, 1975, an employee injured while working for a farmer who employs 245 man-days or more of labor per year is entitled to workmen's compensation benefits, says Young. These benefits are based upon the nature of the injury and the amount of the worker's weekly salary. The farmer is liable to pay these workmen's compensation benefits even though he was not at fault or not responsible for the injury. Therefore, the standard comprehensive liability insurance coverage is not adequate protection from this new potential liability. The 245 man-days of labor per year include each day in which an employee performed any work for pay. A full day or a partial day of work by an employee equals on3. man-day but does not include work performed by the farmer or members of his immediate family residing with him, Young explains. Farmers who employ 245 man-days of labor per year must either take out a work­ men's compensation insurance policy or make application as a self-insurer to the Illinois In­ dustrial Commission, 160 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago, 111., 60600. In either case the In­ dustrial Commission will notify the farmer when the arrangement has been ap­ proved. Failure to take one step or the other is unlawful and subjects the farmer to a possible fine. Workmen's Compensation programs are designed to provide employees with prompt and adequate compensation for accidental, work-related in­ juries. A standard schedule is used to predetermine how much compensation will be paid by the employer to the employee for each type of in­ jury. This compensation is paid regardless of who may be at fault. The system bypasses court proceedings, strong burdens of proof, and un­ predictable damage awards found in the common law method of recovery, Young concludes.
