Page 11 DIXON EVENING TELEGRAPH May I. JMQ Zoning Board of Appeals Approves Four Petitions The Lee County Zoning Board of Appeals Wednesday evening approved four rezoning petitions and took two others under advisement. The Board unanimously voted to favorably recommend to the Board of Supervisors the following petitions: Rezone from R-2 to R-3 a part of the Woodland Shores subdivision to allow C. Douglas to remodel a home for a basement apartment in a residence. Rezone the southerly 800 feet of the southwest quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 9 in Ashton Township from AG-l to Special Use to allow Harold L.

Graf to establish a yards there. The present lease which Graf has at a site near the Chicago and Northwestern Railway in Dixon is expiring and Graf plans to move the cattle operations to the new location. Rezone two lots in the Kenneth Subdivision in Nelson Township from AG-1 to R-2 for residential purposes. And finally to rezone from AG-1 to 1-2 a tract of land in Lee Center township to allow Donald F. Butler to stockpile materials and to establish asphalt and concrete plants.

The approximately four and one-half acres is across the road from the present Butler quarrying operation in that township. The two petitions which were taken under advisement for further study by the Board included three other Butler tracts in Lee Center Township and a tract in Palmyra Township owned by Robert A. Propheter, adjoining his quarry operation there. Propheter petitioned to have the tract, which he had purchased from Fred Brauer, rezoned from AG-1 to Special Use to allow use of the site for storing clay, dirt, gravel, crushed rock, sand, stone, top soil, and other materials, and to permit the erection and maintenance of such scales and other machinery and buildings as may be necessary to house, sort, grade, mix, store and dispense such materials. Objectors Only wirttcn objectors to the petition were Elwood and Helen Rickard, 915 Mary who own the property west of the Propheter Quarry.

Last month the Appeals Board reported an unfavorable recommendation to the Supervisors, when the Rickards asked their land be rezoned to allow quarrying operations. A large contingent of objectors appeared at that hearing. The Rickard petition has not been acted on by the Board of Supervisors. The Rickards, in their objection to the Propheter request, stated that the approval of the petition would create spot zoning, would create unequal treatment of petitioners and would create a detriment to the Rickards. Their attorney, George Nichols, told the Board that the Board should either approve or deny both petitions.

ButJer Request The Butler petition asks that old quarries in the Lee Center area, which have not been worked since the 1940s, lie rezoned from AG-1 to Special Use to allow extraction of clay, dirt, gravel, sand, stone, topsoil, and other natural resources, removal of ledge rock, with required approval for blasting, quarrying, and crushing stone, temporary asphalt plant and feeding yards for animals ana farm market transit or stock raising yards. Two tracts are of about 40 acres each and one is about 20 acres in area. An objection, signed by some 50 people, was presented to the Board. Some of the land is situated in close proximity to the village of Lee Center. Appearing before Board, Butler told the group, that with the anticipated toll road to be built through Lee County, a large additional quantity of rock and aggregate would be needed, and that he hoped to supply some of this requirement.

The usual objections of noise, truck traffic, blasting, and dust were quoted by the objectors as negative factors to the request. Butler, quite honestly retorted that there were problems in this area, but that even farmers created dust and noise in their operations. Butler allowed that at some future date, supplies of rock resources were going to be depleted, and He queried that if quarry operators to be. allowed to expand, then many would have to go out of business. The Board decided to make an on-the-spot visit to the quarry and the petitioned areas and to make a report at their next meeting in May.

Portuguese Language Course To Be Offered DeKALB Portuguese language courses will be offered at Northern Illinois University (NIU) next fall under a new program to be directed by Dr. Albert K. Lopes, widely recognized as one of the leading Portuguese studies experts in the United States. According to Dr. Cleon Capsas, acting head of the NIU foreign language department, it will be the first time Northern has offered Protuguese.

Capsas, a former student of Lopes and co-author with him of five books, noted the U.S. Office of Education has reported there is a shortage of Americans with Portuguese language capabilities. Lopes, who will have the title director of graduate studies in foreign languages, said the courses wil 1 include grammar, conversation and an introduction to Portuguese and Brazilian literature. Other courses may be offered in the future if there is sufficient demand, he added. The initial offerings will provide enough credit for a minor in Portuguese, Lopes noted.

Teaching the courses with him will be William Harrison. Lopes, a bachelor, was a visiting Spanish professor at NIU last semester, but currently is at the University of Arizona. He will return here in the fall. He is professor emeritus from the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, retiring last June as director of that Ibero-American Studies Program. He was at New Mexico 29 years and previously taught at the University of California and Loyola University.

Lopes is one of the only Americans ever honore with the Portuguese highest award to foreigners, Comendador in the the order of Prince Henry the navigator. He received the award in recognition of his contributions to the study in the United States of Portuguese culture. Tht author of textbooks in five languages and former president of the International Institute of Latin American literature, his teaching career began in 1932. During World War II, he served first in the Army and later as a Portuguese instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md.
