i t <br /> 3 <br /> Ms. Mary Fuller stated that the citizens of Efland and Cheeks <br /> Township ask that the Board of Commissioners suspend further <br /> development on the Frazier Road solid waste collection center in the <br /> Perry Hills Subdivision. She stated that this site will be a health <br /> hazard and will pose additional health problems. The citizens are angry <br /> with the method used by the Board of County Commissioners and the <br /> Planning Department in choosing the site. The location of the site is <br /> what upset these citizens. She feels this site is not environmentally <br /> safe and defeats the purpose of Senate Bill 111. She asked the County <br /> to work with their community to locate a more suitable site ---- one that <br /> will benefit the community and the county --- and keep their homes and <br /> families safe. She suggested that the county share with them the other <br /> proposed sites and maybe a more suitable site could be found. Her group <br /> is willing to assist in contacting property owners in that area. She <br /> asked that the Board share with them the EPA report on this Frazier Road <br /> site before any land removal takes place. She indicated that two sites <br /> have been located if the property owners are willing to sell. The first <br /> site in off the Efland exit and I-85. The second site is the dirt <br /> portion of Frazier Road crossing over Lebanon Road. They definitely do <br /> not want this solid waste collection site as proposed but are willing <br /> to work with the County in locating another site. <br /> Mr. Don Dickerson indicated that these citizens understand the <br /> mandate from the State. Their concern is that perhaps this site is not <br /> suitable. They feel it is environmentally unsafe. <br /> Chair Carey thanked the citizens for expressing their concerns <br /> and stressed that the County does have a responsibility for providing <br /> a way for citizens to dispose of solid waste. He asked the citizens to <br /> help the County in this effort. <br /> PUBLIC CHARGE <br /> Chair Carey dispensed with the reading of the public charge. <br /> III.
