The proposal called for relocating the <br /> existing site on High Rock Road to Saddle Club Road within one mile of <br /> the existing site. Investigation into conversion of the High Rock Road <br /> greenbox site to a Solid Waste Convenience Center revealed that the <br /> existing site was surrounded by homes, would require that all buffers <br /> be removed, would not allow for future growth and would require that <br /> the existing site be closed for an extended period to allow for <br /> construction. In discussions the property owner indicated that he <br /> had property on Saddle Club Road that he felt would be suitable <br /> for a Solid Waste Convenience Center and have less impact on the <br /> neighbors. The property owner has agreed to lease eight (8) acres for <br /> a period of 25 years for $200.00 per month, with an escalation clause <br /> related to the consumer price index) built in. The OCSWC endorsed the <br /> proposal and Staff proceeded by presenting it to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners. The County Staff presented and received approval on <br /> November 16, 1993 for a conceptual plan to enter into a long-term lease <br /> with the property owner for development of a Solid Waste Convenience <br /> Center on the property located on Saddle Club Road. <br />
