LTD COMMODITIES’ MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT
RECORD
Respondent, LTD Commodities, by its attorneys, Baizer & Kolar, P.C., moves the Illinois
Pollution Control Board (“PCB”) to supplement the administrative record in this matter with
evidence ofthe sale ofComplainant Paul Rosenstrock’s house. Insupport ofthis motion, LTD states
as follows:
Sale of Paul Rosenstrock House
1.
On March 9, 2004, LTD’s attorney (Joseph E. Kolar) learned that complainant Paul
Rosenstrock sold his house last September. Mr. Rosenstrock paid about $550,000 for his house in
1996. (Tr.
593).
He sold the house on September 29, 2003, for $885,000. A copy ofthe transfer
declaration for the sale ofhis house is attached hereto as exhibit A.
Complaint
2.
In paragraph 8 of their complaint, the Complainants alleged that LTD’s trucking
operation “depresses the value” oftheir property. At the hearing, LTD presented the testimony of
appraiser Kevin Byrne to demonstrate that this allegation was without merit. (Tr. 1268).
Section 33(c) Factors
3.
As the PCB is aware, in “making its orders and determinations,” the PCB must
considerthe factors found at section 33(c) ofthe Environmental Protection Act. These factors
are relevant to the issue ofwhether LTD is a noise nuisance and an appropriate remedy.
4.
One section 33(c) factor involves the “character and degree ofinjury to, or
interference with the protection ofthe health, general welfare and physical property ofthe
people.” Clearly, the fact that Mr. Rosenstrock could sell his home for about $335,000 more
than he paid for the property is relevant to many issues in this case, including the degree of injury
to his property.
Motion To Reconsider
5.
On August 28, 2003, LTD filed its motion for reconsideration, modification and
stay. There was some delay in ruling on this motion due to the fact Complainants’ attorney,
Steven Kaiser, withdrew as attorney ofrecord. Obviously, LTD could not present this evidence
regarding Mr. Rosenstrock’s house because the sale occurred on September 29, 2003. LTD did
not learn of the sale until mail sent to Mr. Rosenstrock (after Mr. Kaiser withdrew from this case)
by Mr. Kolar was returned because the forwarding order had expired.
6.
The information regarding the sale of Mr. Rosenstrock’s house should be part of
the PCB administrative record so that the appellate court has current information regarding the
status ofthe Complainants’ properties. Moreover, the sale negates the allegation by
Complainants’ that LID’s trucking operation depreciates the value oftheir property.
2
WHEREFORE, LTD respectfully requests that the PCB grant this motion and include
with the administrative record filed with the appellate court the transfer declaration from the sale
ofPaul Rosenstrock’s house.
