Page 5-13 Pages J418 Public hearings set to begin on landfill By Angela Burden PtatadMtor Herald News Service • A special committee of McHenry County Board will be conducting hearings soon on a proposed landfill in the Lake In The Hills-Algonquin area. The first public hearing is set for 1 p.m. Monday, May 20. The Regional Pollution Control Facility Siting Com­ mittee will conduct the hearings on the Laidlaw Waste Systems Inc. application between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. in Building D at McHenry County Fairgrounds each day during the week of May 20-24 and Tuesday through Friday, May 28-31. Laidlaw proposes a sanitary landfill operation on about 163 acres located along Pyott Road, between Crystal Lake- Algonquin Road and the Chicago & North Western railroad tracks in Algonquin Township. The firm's lawyer, James Bishop of Crystal Lake, indicates that about three weeks of hearings will be required to present testimony. The Hinsdale-based firm filed its application April 10, and, acconttiqtto statute, a decision by the county on the application must be made within 120 days of that filing date. Earlier this year, hearings on an application from the McHenry County Landfill Inc., for siting a facility on property aftftlg Illinois 47 south of Hun­ tley, were conducted by the committee over a 12-day period. The committee recommended denial of that landfill application and the county board upheld the recommendation. The firm has since appealed the board's decision to the state's Pollution Control Board. Waste Management Inc., the Oakbrook-based firm whi<^i which withdrew an application in 1983 in deference to the county's Waste Advisory Study, is back in the picture. At Wednesday's county board meeting, the Health and Agriculture Committee reported that Waste Management had asked for a meeting with the committee to discuss soil borings, private or county ownership for use of landfill and final use of landfill site property. The committee informed Waste Management that the request will not receive con­ sideration while a petition or application for a landfill site is being considered by the board or its committees. Waste Management's original application for a landfill site located on Illinois 176 west of Woodstock, drew hundreds of objectors, although it did not reach official public hearings. The McHenry County Landfill Inc's proposal also received hundreds of objections from the public. ByMarkBaus PUindMtor HereM News Service An attorney for the Sunrise Ridge Homeowners Association, that wants to build a picnic pavilion on west Wonder Lake beach, contends a building permit that was revoked, is legal and should still stand. Attorney Thomas Nulle said a 1979 village zoning map showed the beach zoned for conditional use. The association, he said, should not be required to obtain a conditional use permit from the Village of Wonder Lake. " "It's my belief that the permit was legally issued and should still stand," Nulle said. f Board President Duane Zeman said the initial building permit, first issued by the village's building inspector and then revoked by Zeman, was void because no money changed hands. Nulle contends that at a village meeting on March 21, 1983, the beach was rezoned without following proper procedures so the beach should still be zoned for conditional use. If Sunrise Ridge Homemowners Association must apply for a conditional use permit, they must pay the village $350 and hold a public hearing within' 60 days of the proposal. xThe permit was not validly issued. No money' was tran­ sacted," Zeman said. "The building inspector never should ; have issued the permit." The village's zoning ordinance does not define what a pavilion is, she added, and therefore, a con­ ditional use permit must be obtained. "If it is an auxiliary building, what is it auxiliary to?" she said. Nulle and village attorney Richard Short will meet later this week to go over each con­ tention and will bring their findings to the next village meeting. PN The board a/so discussed selling five acres of village land north ot the Nippersink Creek. Attorney Short told the board a survey or legal description of the land must be published before bids can be taken. The board initially wanted the cost of the survey, estimated between $1,000 and $2,000, to be part of the purchase price. Short said potential buyers have to know exactly what they are bidding on before they can make a bid,. The board discussed asking a bidder to pay for the survey, but board member Hank, Sugden said it would be difficult to get a bidder to do so. V'A bidder would be hard pressed to pay for a survey when he doesn't know if he's going to get it," Sugden said Short said he would draw up a legal description for publication by the board's next meeting so the board can begin the selling proceedure. WL vote on engineering work overturned A decision by the former Wonder Lake Village Board to hire a McHenry engineering firm to study of water drainage problems in the village was overturned on a technicality Tuesday night. Board President Duane Zeman asked Village Attorne> Richard Short to rev ew the vote, which / would have allocated $800 from the village's general funds to pay for the study. In a letter to the board. Short said the vote was void because a two-thirds majority vote is needed when money hasn't been specifically appropriated. The vote, taken at the board's April 23 meeting, was 3 to 2. In the meantime, Zeman received a 1969 study of the same area, made by Greengard Engineering (Lincolnshire), which recommended ditching of roads in the Unit 5 area of the village to prevent water draining over roads. Public Works Director A1 Zeman said the 1969 recom­ mendation concurs with actions the village is currently taking. "All the drainage and ditching that was suggested, we're working on," Zeman said. "This will definitely help the problem. not solve it. but help it." Greengard also informed Zeman of an old Sunrise Ridge Property Owners Association committee report that recommended Unit 5 not be developed as a residential area because the water table was too high. The unit was later developed by Wonder Lake Realty and Trust. It's up to individual residents, Zeman said, to fix any water drainage probelms on private property. A1 Zeman said ditching in the old Unit 5 area around Riley Road, would probably begin later this week. » % !
