We have 7 wells in the area some being as close as 10' to existing flood areas and proposed track. We also have a CRP area and a tree farm that I own. The nursery tree stock on the 5 acres where the train track is proposed to run through, has an estimated value of $540,000,000. The track completely blocks the driveway to the $650,000 home that I built with my own hands 3 years ago. This blocks all access to my home and farm. Most important, the track goes over 730 flood land on the Kishwaukee River. The river floods more each year due to development in DeKalb County. There are state laws that prevent anything from being developed over flood plains that affect neighboring properties. There is NO way this active flood plain that increases every year is safe to build anything!!! DeKalb County published that nothing is to be built anywhere near the Kishwaukee River because it is all flood plain. It is obvious that the feasibility study has become unfeasible in this part of his project. I am asking you to please advise Frank Patton of this information so he can take this property out of his project and we can move on.
