Lake property value affected by proposed truck terminal

We have a lake "cottage" at a northern Indiana lake. The lake is fully developed, with about 500 cottages. We are nearby the intersection of two major interstate highways (within 2 miles of the intersection).

American Freightways (a very large trucking operation) is proposing to the BZA a "land use exception" for a 50 acre site about 1 mile from our lake. This site would be developed to include a 240 door truck terminal.

I'm looking for any info that will help make the case to the BZA that such an exception would be detrimental to property values.

Help please!

I don't know IN law, but in most states this type of change would have to be via a re-zoning (that is a zoning map amendment) rather than via special exception. Talk an IN land use lawyer (not just any lawyer, a land use lawyer).
