Jaycee's Carnival Bd. of Local Improve- ments Meeting Met. Sanitary District Disposal Plant Mr. Richard Ward It was generally agreed to waive the Carnival fee for the Jaycee's to hold their Carnival, Thursday, September 5, 1968. President Warnicke set a meeting of the Board of Local Improve- ments for September 6th at 10 a.m. to discuss Special Assessment #191 - Doreen Dr. - Westfield Lane bids. Mr: Richard F. Ward of the Devonshire Civic Association was granted permission to address the Council regarding the Metropolitan Sanitary District's plans to locate a Sewage Treatment Plant, and his remarks were as follows: "At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Devonshire Civic Association held last Monday nite, the unanimous decision - no questions asked - was to somehow make our intentions known and to reaffirm our position concerning the location of a water reclamation plant at the southeast corner of Oakton and Elmhurst, where we believe the property should be used for light manufac- turing." "When we moved into the area, I wrote to the Des Plaines Chamber sent me information concerning Des Plaines, its zoning, and other important information, and I ddcided to locate in Des Plaines. I have spent more money than I ever spent in my life. About a week and a half ago, I read the green paper and I read the white paper, and I worry when I hear things being said that could jeopardize our position in the law suit. Much money has already been spent and we should get a return on our investment. The law suit is our best way of maintaining our rights of keeping a potential nuisance from right next door to our doorsteps. I don't want to see it happen that a decision is handed down that we are sorry for. We want to reaffirm our determination to have this parcel of property used for light manufacturing." "I want to bring out one or two points this evening. I spent all day knocking on doors and I also sat down for several hours with the manager of the plant. I want to come to you with new fresh information. A lot of people don't realize how large the O'Hare plant is intended to be. Originally'they were talking in millions of dollars. Now it is up to $54,000,000. Some of you have had the opportunity to visit the Hanover plant and the North Side plant. If this plant is built, it will be built in three stages - 1, 2, and 3 .... 3 being the long range plan:. Then if all the estimates of the amount of inflow are wrong, they can expand it. It is going to be 25 times larger than the Hanover plant in its initial stage. The 1st and 2nd stage will be 50 times larger than the Hanover plant and is designed to handle input of 2 million gallons per day. Our plant's initial capacity will be 48 million; second stage will be 96 million." ,3� 9/3/68 24 Page four "The North Side plant, as a comparison, in 1967 the average was 312 million gallons per day. Our stage 2 is not so far in the distant. In 1972, the area it will serve will be 190,000 people. Eight years later, which will be stage 2, it will serve 228,000 people. We will have a plant that is 1/3 the size of McCormick Road plant it is fantastic.. 50 times the size of the Hanover plant. The concern we have had right along is that the Stickney plant incinerates solids. The solids, organic material and the original material is burnable." "In November, 1966, Mr. Vinton Bacon told us they were going to take the output from our plant and reintroduce the raw sewerage....it was going out to Stickney. It doesn't make sense to take something and do a lot of work on it and then all the work you've done on it has to be redone over again. Then, the design was changed one year later. We got one design report last January, the other design report in June. The difference is they removed the digestors from the new plant. I wrote a letter to Vinton Bacon on May 14th and I asked him for similar water reclamation plants that we could look at and he came back and said the nearest one was the North Side plant and that it would be a good one to look at. Yours is going to be 1/3 the size, but more modern and use the same processes. I then wrote a letter to Bob DiLeonardi hoping this would give him something to work with. In my letter to Vinton Bacon I raised the concern of incineration, and asked him to please explain to me how this is not a like possibility. His answer was "The Policy of the Board at this time is that we use land disposal". The policy of the Board as you know can change by a mere majority vote." "They have looked at the Rossmore Site. This is the site where the Sanitary District and the Forest Preserve were negotiating, which raises the price up and makes the farmer happy. The Rossmore site is now a dead subject. There are two other land disposal areas far west of O'Hare which I understand are under consideration at this time. When people find out that they want to use the land for this purpose, they make it difficult to buy the land. You can't just have an incinerator that won't spit ash onto the area. It is not only a Devonshire problem; it could harass many wards besides the eighth. Incineration could make a real mess in that area." "The litigation says two things..correct me if I am wrong.. the zoning should apply to this site. If the zoning does not apply, then the use of the land for a disposal area is a nuisance to the community. If we win the first step, we are going to loose it in the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals. However, we would like to see more concerted effort to see whether this thing is a nuisance. In the September, 1966 issue of the Des Plaines Suburban Times, the headline reads "Sanitary Plant is Odorless." On May 17th of this year, Vinton Bacon told me that a plant just like ours is the McCormick Road Plant. If that one is odorless, our plant will be odorless. I. spent all day finding out if that plant was odorless. However, that wasn't the case. I knocked on many doors. I tried to let them know first of all that I was not a real estate man so that they would reveal things to me. It was very enlightening. Every man denied even smelling an odor. On the other hand every women and every teenager had a varying degree of a report that odors were a problem. This was surprising to me. I also stopped where there was a basketball game going on and each had a different report. Many are considering their values of their property. I have all the names and addresses. I stopped about 1/2 mile southeast of the plant where he said it was a problem. A 17 yr. old man answered me that it was a problem...when asked to describe the odors he gave me a very lengthy discertation. "Inside the house you cannot smell the odor; just when you come out in the back yard, you can smell it." The father denied that there was any odor and that he would move here again tomorrow but asked, "Do you want to buy my house?" Odors are only a part of the potential problem. Please ask yourself if you would like to have this in your back yard." "About 12 months ago, I wrote a letter dated July 19th, stating that there is a 47 acre site - the Rock Road property just southwest of Touhy and Mt. Prospect with a "For Sale" sign...it is 47 acres. Have we relayed this information to the Board have we told anyone this is available? According t� the Metropolitan Sanitary District proposed plans, they bought 100 acres site. They only were planning to use 26 acres plus a five acre lake for stage one construction; however the 5 acre lake...it is an overflow. The first stage would consume 31 acres, 2nd stage 11 acres, with buffer zone....you don't need a green belt area. This propert 9/3/68 25 Page five cost $1,600,000 and they could sell it at a one-half million profit. The Rock Road property is adjacent to O'Hare and an ideal location and it is for sale." "O'Hare has 7,000 acres. Contacts have been made to the City of Chicago, first the Metropolitan Sanitary District, then Mayor Behrel. All the efforts failed to get the plant located there they state they can't plan that far ahead. There is a weak lino here somewhere, and it is not the land usage. The ground facilities are adequate. It is the air facilities that are a premium or the surrounding air space that is a problem. If they use all the available ground space available, you are not going to get any more airplanes landing and as far as the acquisition of the army property...they need this. There is 100 unused acreage...there may be a hangar some day but to use 1 percent for a disposal plant...this is a very smallpercent." Mr. Ward continued after discussion by Attorney DiLeonardi about Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals having no jurisdiction over our zoning, inasmuch as the proposed site is within the City limits. Mr. Ward continued "there is 47 acres of Rock Road property on top of Higgins Creek...if the plant was built there you can't see it and don't quite know it is there." Following Mayor Behrel's remarks, Mr. Ward continued; "I admit whole- heartedly I know we need a plant. I am not opposing the plant but the location. One more bit of evidence before ending. This is from the Plant Manager at the McCormick plant..quote, "A musty odor, can't get away from it; on a humid day, just can't get away from it. On damp dewy days, it gives us some problem." I am sure Vinton Bacon would be a little irritated with me but that is his problem. When I asked a young man who lived there just 7 yrs, standing on the corner, he said "when we go ice skating in Hamlin Park, it really stinks and in the morning when we are waiting for the bus." An older woman who lived there for 12 years and one who lived there for 17 years said it is O.K. if your house was air- conditioned, but more noticeable than we would like to admit." Reaffirm It was moved by Alderman Bolek, seconded by Alderman Leer, Position that Council reaffirm our position to continue our strenous Sanitary effort to prevent the installation of the water acclamation District plant by the Metropolitan Sanitary District at the southeast corner of Elmhurst and Oakton Streets.
