The A I A I Wheeling 23rd a 1 8 1 Illinois 6C090 Thursday, July 6, 1972 Sunny TODAY: Mostly sunny and warmer; high in middle 70s.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny and warmer; high in low 80s. 5 pages Home Delivery 55c a lOc a copy Claims Dust Would PK Hazard Village Board Protests Rezoning For Cement Plant lv LYNN ASINOK The Wheeling Village Qoard has once again lodged a formal of protc.st i the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals on the rezoning of land for a ready-mix cement plant on Plant Road, south of the village. The board claims construction of the proposed Evanston Fuel and Material Co. plant is not in the public interest because it would cause dust and traffic problems and increase flooding in the area. The property in question lies outside the Village limits but within the village's l.S-mtle limit of jurisdiction.

The land is i nl on the east bide hy Pal-Waukee Airport and Plant Road, on the west by the Wheeling drainage ditch, and on the north and south by farmland. THE PROTEST IS a replay of action tnken in 1969 when the county zoning board first approved the resorting. After a renes of protests and court suits, the original zoning decision was overturned by a citizen's suit claiming there was im- pioper public notice for the zoning hearings The second hearing was held June 2. alter which the county zoning board again approved for the plant. Wheeling's current ptntest mirrors the original protest lodged in September 196!) The 1 maintain'- the 1 plant' 1 proximity to the airport "creates a hazard inconsistent with the welfare and ofifety of both the pilots and passengers of the aircraft as well as the well-being of the residents." OTHER REASONS for the protest were that heavy concrete-carrying trucks would create traffic hazards and damage the roads in the area.

Ftir'hcr, the board claimed flooding in the urea adjacent to the Wheeling drainage ditch might be increased and the amount of water used in the operation would interfere with supply of nearby wells. The board also noted the plant would "alter the general character of the area." and there was no evidence that the plant would meet the county standards of operation on noise and smoke. They claim dust, noise and odors from the manufacture of concrete would be "detrimental to the 1 and that the storage of raw materials would create additional dust and grit. Finally, the village pointed out they did not receive proper notice of the deliberations following the June 2 hearings. They also say proper procedure was not followed because the land owners did not seek the approval of the Wheeling Plan Commission for the subdivision of the property.

The protest letter states, "The highest and best use, due to existing uses and trends of development, is for a light industrial use and not heavy industrial, which benefits only the private property owner." COPIES OF THE letter were sent to the clerk of Cook County, the secretary of the county zoning board, the president of the county board of commissioners and members of the zoning board. Wesley Wigginton, an owner of Evanston Fuel and Materials and Marvin Salzenstein, a consulting engineer, testified at the June 2 hearing that the plant will not present a pollution problem to the area, They said dust from such plants is usually cleaned up, and Wigginton said the dust would be swept away by sweepers. Salzenstein said rezoning was needed only because the entire plant will not be enclosed. "We will enclose as much of the male- rial on the property as possible to prevent sand and gravel from blowing over the area," Wigginton said. He said daily truck traffic in the area will amount to only about 20 trips by cement trucks 12 or 15 by supply trucks.

Suburbanite Unit To Save Hillcrest Slough From Ruin by JOHN MAES Concerned citizens and civic organizations in Prospect Heights have been rallying together recently behind a common cause: to save the Hillcrest Slough from early ruin Sewage deposits, soil erosion and dumping have been contributed to pollution of the north half and have put it in clanger of extinction. The group has been working to preserve the slough, one of the fesv remaining wetlands in Illinois, as a recreation area and wildlife preserve. The south half of the slough is owned by H. C. Hauvner and the north half is owned by the Hillcrest Homeowners Association.

The Prospect Heights Park District, however, recently filed a letter of intent to acquire the land for use as a park with the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). DOLORES IIAUGH, head of the "Save the Slough" committee, said the fact that the groups are organized and working together will make their efforts much more effective. Other groups involved in the push include the Prospect Hieights Improvement Association, the Prospect Heights Park District, the Old Town Sanitary District and the Hillcrest Homeowners' Association. "We want to keep man-made conditions away from the area," Mrs. Haugh added.

"That's what' polluted the north half in the first place and we're working to return it to its natural state." The most recent controversy over the 27-acre area arose from a dispute over the barricading of the section of Willow (Continued on page 3) DUCKS AND OTHER WILDLIFE are frequently seen in summer months around polluted north end of the Hillcrest Slough in Prospect Heights. Concerned groups and citizens however have undertaken a campaign to save the north end of the wetland from environmental extinction.
