Dear Ms Gunn:

We are in support ofMcHenry County Board’s decisionto deny Mr. Lowe’s application,

for a proposed waste transfer station next to Cary, along Route 14.

The county denied the Lowe application on the

basis

offailure to meet criterion no. 2, 3,

and 5:

Criterion No. 2

“The facility is so designed, located and proposed to be operated that the public hea1th~,

safety and welfare will be protected.”

Criterion Np. 3

“The facility is located so as to minimize incompatibility with the character ofthe

surrounding area and to minimize the effect on the value ofthe surrounding property.”

Criterion No.

5

“The plan ofoperations for the facility is designed to minimize the danger to the

surrounding area from fire, spills, or other operational accidents.”

Sincerely,

Thomas M. and Judith A. Sutliff
