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.
