CONCURRING OPINION
(by J.D. Dumelle):
My reasons for concurring
in the grant of
52 units
in this case lie in the incompleteness of the record.
The hardship concerned with the
32 units already
under construction is sufficient to grant this amount
of
connections.
However,
the record does not sufficiently detail the
financial status of the Willowbrook Development Corporation
to determine
if the additional
20 units
(now raw
land)
need
to be built.
Willowbrook’s own scheduling of 52 units
in
1980 does not prove the necessity for all of them.
A second deficiency in the record is the status of the
remedial repair program for the Marionbrook sewage treatment
plant.
Its maintenance has been sadly deficient.
No date
is given for correction of these deficiencies.
In addition,
the record does not give a program for plant expansion of
Marionbrook or of the interconnected Woodridge—Lisle and
Woodridge—Greenvalley plants or of a possible alternative
which might be the reduction of the storm—generated flows.
Lastly, the record gives only conclusory statements
on alternatives.
Why
is
a connection to the Hinsdale Sanitary
District not feasible?
What are the costs of installing a
holding tank and pumping it out at regular intervals?
Because of these deficiencies in the record
I would
have granted connections for 32 units and not for 52 units.
Respectfully submitted
