AN ORDINANCE
GRANTING A SPECIAL USE FOR LIME RESIDUE STORAGE
WHEREAS, written application has been made for a special use permit
to allow storage of lime residue in the southwest quadrant of the State
Hospital site hereinafter legally described; and
WHEREAS, the Land Use Committee conducted a public hearing after due
notice as required by law and recommended that the application be denied;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Elgin does not concur in the
recommendations of the Land Use Committee.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ELGIN,
ILLINOIS:
Section 1. That the City Council of the City of Elgin hereby finds and
determines that the requested special use is necessary for the public conven-
ience at the proposed location because the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency ordered the disposal of lime residue from the water treatment process
to be made in a sanitary landfill and that no landfill within 20 miles of
the City of Elgin is prepared to accept such lime waste residue and that no
feasible alternative site is available.
Section 2. That the City Council of the City of Elgin further finds and
determines that the proposed landfill is so designed, located and proposed to
be operated that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected in
that the special use requested will be for a limited period of time, land-
scaping and screening will be provided and the Illinois Institute of Natural
Resources, by letter of January 29, 1980 has determined that disposal of
lime sludge from the water treatment plants of the City of Elgin is unlikely
to have any adverse effect on the ground water supply in the area.
Section 3. That the City Council of the City of Elgin further finds and
determines that the proposed special use will not cause substantial injury to
the value of other property in the neighborhood in which it is located as
improvements to surrounding property are sufficiently removed to be uneffected
by the proposed special use and will be buffered by required screening and
landscaping.

ment and maintenance of a sanitary landfill for the storage of lime residue
