TOWN OF BURLINGTON - A Town of Burlington man said he would consider trying to recall the entire Town Board if elected officials approved a proposal to build an asphalt plant not far from his home.

The Burlington Town Board isn't expected until later this month to revisit a request from B.R. Amon & Sons to build an asphalt plant on the site of its gravel pit near Bohners Lake, but nearby residents are continuing their effort to derail the plan.

At least one resident has started a Web site, http://www.bohnerlake.blogspot.com to gather more support in the fight to keep the asphalt plant out of the area. The creator of the Web site could not be reached for comment.

John Kessler, who lives on McHenry Street not far from the site of the proposed plant, just north of Warren Road, said Wednesday that he had met with an attorney in Kenosha about filing an injunction against the plant if the town approved it.

Kessler said the attorney suggested considering a petition to recall the entire board if they voted to approve the plant. Kessler and his wife Susan were instrumental in helping organize area residents to oppose the idea at a recent board meeting where the board decided to postpone a decision.

"We're just riding it out to see what kind of information we get from the township. If they don't want to talk and they don't want to comply with the mission statement of the township then we may file (the recall petition) before the next meeting," John Kessler said. "If they decide to shape up and start working with the people who elected them, then maybe we'll just table it."

Town Supervisor Jeff Lang said the board is continuing to gather information about asphalt plants before they make a decision. The soonest the board would revisit the request would be later this month at its July 23 meeting, Lang said.

Lang suggested postponing a vote on the issue last month when it came before the board. The board was met with a roomful of neighbors who opposed the idea for a variety of reasons. Residents said they were concerned about any possible health effects of an asphalt plant and the possibility that a plant in the area would decrease their property values.

The Racine County Economic Development and Land Use Planning committee last month approved Tom Amon's request to build the temporary asphalt plant. Amon, president of B.R. Amon & Sons, tried unsuccessfully to convince residents that his plant would not, as he said, negatively affect the environment in the surrounding area.

Town Chairman Ralph Rice told the members of the town's planning and zoning committee last month that the board couldn't reject the request just because neighbors didn't want it. Other board members raised concerns that they could face legal action if they didn't have a legitimate reason for rejecting the proposal.
