Meyer lost. They lost at the Zoning Board and they lost at the Village Board level.However, the powers that be want them to have another chance. Although, due to Village rules, they cannot submit another plan until a year long "cooling off" period. Nonetheless, Meyer presented an informational meeting to Village residents about a new plan.
In order to get this plan in action, the Village of Cary will have to give Meyer a waiver. The plan will then go to the new Zoning Board and then back to the Village Board.
What Meyer wants to do is bring in some dredging equipment and turn the pit into a 24 hour a day, 6 days a week operation. They claim it will be quieter than what they are doing now.
At the meeting, Meyer presented the following video, showing how a hydraulic dredger works:
The video has no sound, so we can't hear the dredger in action. Although Meyer insisted that that this method would be less noisy than what they have now, they couldn't get more specific than that.
However, here is another video of a hydraulic dredger. This is what Meyer wants to be operating next to Fox Trails 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. This setup, I am sure, is not what Meyer will do, but the plans presented were not too specific and this is all we have to go on:

The current noise is making conversation difficult right now at 5:25 pm. I think the diesel engine of the dredge will be loud, and who knows about the conveyor, and dewatering station??? How our grandbaby will sleep is beyond me. I hate the noise now, 24 hours might drive us insane! But done faster could mean we could finally sell and leave Cary in the dust??
