Plaintiff company applied for conditional use of two 65-foot silos. The Utah County Board of Adjustment (the Board) denied plaintiff's application. The Board had received public comment with citizens expressing concern "regarding local property values, traffic, road safety, light pollution, and the impact that dust and other emissions have on public health." One resident claimed "she had to 'sleep in [her] closet for [a] year' because the light
from the Plant would shine through her window." Kilgore challenged the Board's denial in district court, which set aside the Board's denial. Utah County appealed.
