Mr. Vidovich listed the following as possible positive aspects to this proposal : 1) quarry will be closed; 2) a lake will be in the quarry' s place; 3) if the property is annexed to the Town, the project will be under the control of the Town; 4) the water system for the Town will be better; and 5) property values will increase. Karl Tiefert, 10490 Albertsworth Lane, expressed his concerns about the proposed grading and stated his opinion that the trailer placed on the property by Mr. Vidovich was very offensive.
