Impact analysis
Property values and county enforcement costs were raised as concerns; no specific dollar figure was given.
The property owner gets a cost-effective way to reclaim the pit, and the community could eventually gain donated park land.
Nearby Cedar Lake Drive residents say they'd bear smoke, noise, truck traffic, and health risks, with two testifying about cancer deaths in their neighborhood.
