One hurdle remains for Kosciusko landfill residents

A bid by three Kosciusko County residents to remain on their property despite attempts to remove them because of health reasons successfully passed one roadblock, but another must still be negotiated before the residents are completely free from interference. Kosciusko Circuit Court Judge Richard Sand decided last week to allow the residents, David Poage, Breck Walls and Troy Varney, to continue to live in their mobile homes on the site of a former landfill in the southwestern part of the county. The decision ended an attempt by the Indiana State Board of Health to remove the residents due to high levels of methane gas and other health hazards. Another decision is still pending, however, by Judge Sand concerning a Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals decision to evict the landowners. A hearing date has yet to be set on the issue and is expected after the

month that wasn’t so pleasant was the drop in temperature to 12 degrees above zero on Friday morning of last week. Mrs. Katie Steiglitz of Syracuse was shopping in Milford last week.

Kosciusko County Area Planning Office submits transcripts of the BZA hearing. The BZA upheld a July decision by the Area Plan Commission that determined the soil at the site to be unsuitable for residential development. Evidence presented in both cases determined both conventional and hazardous waste material has been deposited there. The attorney for the residents, Paul Refior, has maintained throughout the hearings that they should remain on the property, located on CR 450 W, south of CR 5255, without interference. Sand said the residents must “maintain the environmental quality of the geographical area.” He prohibited the residents and the owner, Max Montel, from building new structures or locating anything on the land except for mobile homes or other buildings with no foundations. In his decision. Sand noted that

Haney home (at Milford) on Wednesday. In a confidential talk with one of the local merchants he said that last week eggs were the lowest in price that they have been in 40 years. He expressed himself by saying that during his entire busines career he had never paid lower than seven cents per dozen for eggs and that was about 40 years ago. Eggs in this vicinity were being purchased for from six to eight cents per dozen last week.

Poage must remove the skirting from the base of the mobile home to prevent concentration of explosive methane gas. Part of the State Board of Health’s argument is that the high concentration of methane gas on the property could cause an explosion if it is contained. According to Kosciusko County Assistant Planner Patrick Watkins, the decision was “exactly what we expected.” He said Judge Sand’s decision has no bearing on the BZA case. Watkins said Sand’s closing remarks at the end of the final hearing, which was concluded last month, left room for an entirely different decision. Any decision the judge makes can be changed in the next hearing, Watkins said. The Area Plan Commission expects to complete the transcripts on the case by March 23. After Judge Sand receives the material, he is then expected to set a date for the hearing.
