V.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

ORDER OF THE SOARD (BY SAMUEL T. LAWTON,

JR.):

Peti.tion has oeen filed by David J.

Burry,

seeking variance

from our

order in League of Women Voters v. North Shore

Sanitary

District, #7O~-7, 12, 13, 14 (March

7,

1971) in

order

to connect a

flil~Te--family residence

to the

overloaded Waukegan sewers,

trioutary to the

North Shore Sanitary District,

Petitioner has failed to demonstrate that

he

would suffer

an

arbitrary

or unreasonable hardship if the

variance is denied. No

work has been

done on the property, either predating our sewer ban

order

or in expectation of the granting of

a

permit, nor are the

circumstances alleged

of

a

sufficient magnitude of hardship to

justify

a

relaxation

of

the sewer ban order. The increased costs of building

and services are not unique

to

petitioner.

We

again urge that the City of Waukegan take the necessary steps

to bring its sewer system into compliance so that construction of

the area can proceed. The petition for variance

is

denied without

prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board,

certify that the above Order was adopted on the ~
