as evidence an Indiana State Board of Health file and court records concerning the former Lakeland Disposal site. Those records documented the disposal of conventional and hazardous wastes on the land in addition to alleged misuses by the then operator, Steven Shambaugh.

Richard said this is the first 4yne a case such as this has ever come before the BZA and the APC. Board members voted to table the issue with the understanding that« decision must be reached.

commission members cited a section in the Kosciusko Zoning Ordinance in arriving at their decision. What the area plan commission decided was to uphold Richard’s findings that the soil conditions of the former landfill site is unsuitable for residential development. Basically, the ordinance gives the office the authority to rule any tract of ground unsuitable if the plan commission determines the land to be harmful to the health and safety of the county. A hazardous and conventional landfill was operating on the land when Monte! purchased the land in 1978. Montel sold three portions of the land to Poague, Varney and Walls. Those residents currently reside in mobile homes on the tract of ground. Webster Auxiliary cleans kitchen The North Webster American Legion Auxiliary held its monthly meeting on November 16.
