Levan Town Council intends to file an appeal with Juab
County on the conditional use permit issued to Kuhni and
Sons for their rendering plant. They claim that Kuhni's did
not follow codes when they were issued the permit. They
questioned why the company did not have an environmental
impact study done if they were using state funds to
relocate.
Councilmember Ralph Brooks felt that by filing the
appeal they might be able to get some conditions to protect
citizens from any type of fallout from the plant such as
smell and disease.
Ryan Aagard wondered if the council was "beating a
dead horse" meaning that this action probably wasn't going
to change anything.
Rod Wankier wanted to read the conditional use permit
before making a decision.
Sandra Mangelson, town resident, stated that she did
want to live in Levan and smell the odors from the plant.
She felt that was the reason why Provo didn't want the plant
in their community. She also wanted to know why the company
didn't have an impact study done.
Mr. Brooks said that right now if the plant has any
substantial odors then the Sheriff's Department has to go to
the plant and tell them to clean it up.
Paul Mangelson said that any growth at the Mills Exit
would be compromised by the plant.
He said that they had requested a copy of the permit
and had not received one. Mr. Wankier said that they should
file the appeal just to get them to send a copy.
Mr. Brooks claimed that Kuhni's did not follow Juab
County Code, Section 12-1-1507 and Section 12-1-1507,
b(iii).
