Quandt expressed concern on how this issue was being addressed. <br /> Ms. Richardson also expressed concern that on how this was going it is not fair to ask them to <br /> bring evidence. Mr. Arnold noted that Mr. Zitterkopf stated that there needs to be new facts. <br /> Mr. Purdy questioned Mr. Hoffman if another location would be better could he see it being <br /> located somewhere else In Hall County maybe east Highway 30 or Highway 281 or West <br /> Highway 30. <br /> Mr. Hoffman noted that it could be located by Swift that would be a good place. It was noted <br /> that a conditional use permit can end in 30 days. <br /> Lavita Rathman 502 West Lowry Road stated that there are 38 families living in the section and <br /> the majorities do oppose it. She read a letter from the Village of Doniphan requesting that the <br /> County Board deny the request for the conditional use permit. This would be better served in a <br /> commercial area.

This property has been for sale for 2 years. <br /> Mr. Ruda noted that there is a current lagoon and feed lots in the area. He stated that either way <br /> he will not hold any hard feelings he is just asking that they give him a fair chance. <br /> Gregg Robb was preset and stated that he has a lagoon and it is legal and permitted. He does <br /> not want get involved but it is a legal business but it just requires an additional permit. He <br /> stated that he hopes that anyone requesting a permit would get a fair chance based on facts <br /> and fairness. <br /> Dave Hoffman 324 East Giltner Road expressed concern regarding truck accidents and this <br /> could add 50 more trucks a day.
