1 ranked highest. Land use and development within one half mile radius of proposed site will be <br /> 2 used to assess potential compatibility issues related to connector streets and roads. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Weighting Factors: <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Importance: <br /> 7 • Very Important <br /> 8 <br /> 9 Value: <br /> 10 • 10 <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Chair Jacobs made reference to Commissioner Gordon's handout and said that she has <br /> 13 some concerns about bicycle routes. Bob Sallach said that they included considering of bicycle <br /> 14 routes under community—specific criteria. <br /> 15 Commissioner Gordon said that the Orange Unified Transportation Board recommended <br /> 16 bicycle routes for technical criteria for the safety issue. She made reference to the map and <br /> 17 said that there are basically eight primary routes. She said that two of the routes—three and <br /> 18 eight—are part of DOT Mountains to the Sea Trail. She said that the idea is that bicycles <br /> 19 should not be mixed with truck traffic. She suggested putting in primary bicycle routes into the <br /> 20 technical criteria in criterion#5. <br /> 21 Commissioner Carey asked for an explanation why this should be in community-specific <br /> 22 rather than technical. Bob Sallach said that they put it in community-specific because they <br /> 23 would be looking at a smaller number of sites and more detail with regard to the sites in terms of <br /> 24 off-site development: The technical criteria will be confined more to the site itself. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 <br /> 27 6. ABILITY FOR EXPANSION <br /> 28 Consideration: When selecting a site, consider the potential for subsequent increase in the <br /> 29 daily tonnage of waste that the facility will be required to manage, or added <br /> 30 processing capabilities for recycling and diversion. It is often less expensive to <br /> 31 expand an existing transfer station than to develop a new site clue to the ability to <br /> 32 use existing operations staff, utility connection, traffic control systems, office <br /> 33 space, and buildings. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Definition: Adaptability of proposed transfer station site layout (transfer building and on- <br /> 36 site roadways) to accommodate future expansion or changes in waste transfer and processing. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Application: <br /> 39 <br /> 40 A site that is the most adaptable with respect to expansion of the transfer building with <br /> 41 concurrent use of buffers, roadways, parking areas, scale facilities, and other required site <br /> 42 improvements will be ranked the highest. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Weighting Factors: <br /> 45 Importance: <br /> 46 <br /> 47 • Important <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Value <br /> 50 • 5 <br /> 7 <br />
