He suggested the County consider <br /> the Frazier Road site or private haulers. <br /> Carl Walters, owner of the proposed site; showed the proximity of <br /> the present site to the proposed site. He described the area and emphasized <br /> that this proposal will not hurt property values. He listed others in the <br />
