50 else,then the area to the east is considered developable. Her preference is to leave the 60 acres undisturbed. � Chair Carey thinks that the conceptual[ine devefoped by Commissioner Gordon does preserve � most options for a configuous piece af land. He said that the Board should ask the staff to bring a more concrete recommendation badc at the ne�meefing. . Commissianer Jacobs asked if the staff could analyze what the environmental affect would be of havmg any developmer�t on section.finro compared with section one. Commissioner Brown wants to be sure that as much af the hardwoods as possible are included in the 60 acres. John Link said that there should be an adequate buffer around the historic site and the Counfy ' needs to exclude this buffer because i�is assumed that all jurisdicfiions warrt to preserve that area. Commissianer G�rdon asked if staff could set the map in context so that the Baard cauld see where the other green space is and the 109 acres. _ A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon,seconded by Commissioner Brown to suggest that the 60 acres as defined on the map in the agenda abstract be the conceptual plan for the 60 acres, inc(uding all of the inform�tion requested by fihe various Commissioners. VOTE UNANIMOUS ' REQUEST OF THE ATTORNEY TO REVISE THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT GeofFrey Gledhill said that he has recommended changes as outtined in the abstract The first change is in part one of the agreement, in the Acquired Property section. He added a section,verbatim . from the IetEer that was written to the inayors,the language as fotlows: "The Parties acknowledging and support the Couniy's position.,that as operator of so(id waste operations it may,despite diligent efforts to explore altematives, settle upon the area on and proximate to the existing closed landfill site on Eubanks Road as the location for additional sofid waste facilities." - The second change was to rewrite the effective date, efiminating altogether the tinkage befween the effective date and the rezoning of the 60 acres of the Greene Tract,and saying that the effective date of this agreement and the Couniy's taking over of the sotid waste responsibilfies in Orange County would follow the last of finro events-the approval of this amendment to the interlocal agreement and the � agreement on the boundaries of the 60 acres that will be transferred to the County. He linked the effective date to pay periods so it could be handled administra�ively. The third change was in part five,which relates solely to the Greene Tract. Particularfy, he e[iminated all finkage to the rezoning of the 60-acre portion af the Greene Tract to the interlocal agreemer�t There is still agreemerrt to put deed restrictions on the deed to the 60 acres,which will prohibif burial on that 60 acres. The net effect of this change is that the 60 acres will not be available under present zoning regulations for any solid waste activity that involves a structure. Also,the deed restriction would not permit any burial of solid waste on the site. Lastfy, he recommended some clean-up changes regarding tFie advisory board. He said that the reimbursement concept that is in the agreement relates solely to the 109 acres. Commissioner Brown made reference to the advisory board�and asked if elected officials could serve on the Solid Waste Advisary Board and she was told yes. She does not think that elected officiats should be allowed to serve on the advisory board. Corrmmissioner Jacobs clarified that there was no provision within this proposal that would in any way presuppose that solid waste operations would take pface on the 60 acres: Commissioner Gordon questioned point number one in the efFective date and asked if"goveming board°was referring ta the County or if it should be plurat. Geof Gledhill said that the goveming board af each owner must both approve and execute the agreemen� Commissioner Gardon questioned point number four,'by amending the date in the first paragraph of Part T'and suggested saying,"one month after the effective date of this agreement" Commissioner Gordon made reference to the poirit raised by Commissioners Brown and Jacobs about having elected officials on the SWAB and said that she does not feel that an elected afficEal should be an this advisory board. Commissioner Jacobs suggested asking the Chair when he meets with the mayors fo see if they have any objection to changing this part of the agreement to eliminate appointing elected officials to the advisory board. Commissioner Halkiotis said that he feels that if there is any elected official on any board that wants to serve on this Board that they shoufd be allowed to do so. Chair Carey does not have a problem with having an elected official on the advisory board.
