Premise: A photograph shows the proposed sand mine operation on a parcel north of State Road 70 and Lake Annie. Biologist Dr. Hilary Swain with Archbold Biological Station has voiced concerns how a sand mine there would affect Lake Annie, a groundwater-fed lake just across State Road 70 to the south. However, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted the landowner a special exception.
Hypothesis: The zoning board disregarded the environmental concerns
