A Morris-based propane company is suing DeKalb County over the denial of a special-use permit.
Dibble Family LLC wants to build a propane distribution facility at 25330 Five Points Road, in Mayfield Township outside Sycamore.
To this end, it requested a special use permit from the County Board to build the facility. However, local residents worried about the project's environmental impact, noise, and safety.
As a result, the Board voted against the proposal 15-9 in November.
Dibble alleges the Board failed to follow its own ordinances and improperly rejected the company's application. The Daily Chronicle reports a case management conference is scheduled for March 20.
