'I'm not too happy about a possible smell and more traffic, like we don't have enough with Bucces,' Bryan Coberly said, a Park Layne resident for 30 years.
Coberly has witnessed various developments on Dayton Lakeview Road over the years, including a driving range where he used to play with his son.
More recently, the land in question was used for community soccer games, which Coberly believes should continue to host community events rather than waste transfer operations.
