Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> April 5, 2007 <br /> Approved May 3, 2007 <br /> Norwood says they want to use the empty flat land for recreation and connect those <br /> two neighborhoods go past the Neville tract and Nunn property and past where the <br /> new convenience center might be . But it will really impact the people in our <br /> neighborhood either way . They don' t listen to what we tell them in meetings . <br /> Vickers clarifies that this access is up against the railroad . <br /> Bowerman states that this builds on to what Bonnie says . There was a possibility to <br /> waive the traffic analysis of the transfer station but this is a much bigger issue and it' s <br /> not just one thing . Waiving the traffic analysis zvas a bad idea . They should do it . Each <br /> development on its own does not trigger a traffic study so they can go along saying <br /> everything' s OK. That' s the wrong way to go about it. They need to take the <br /> cumulative impact into account. They should do a much larger more comprehensive study . <br /> A shoulder would be a good idea . <br /> Spire states there will be a turn lane for the transfer station along with a good sized <br /> shoulder . When the school is put in, it' s going to be [a big impact. ] There has been a <br /> study from Martin Luther King Jr . Blvd . to Millhouse Rd . but not beyond that. <br /> Bowerman states that the intersection of Eubanks and Old NC 86 needs to be studied - <br /> it' s very dangerous . <br /> Vickers suggests that the SWAB write a letter to each of government entities <br /> requesting that they do a joint study on that road because it is an issue for several <br /> reasons in the community . <br /> Sassaman states that if you will draft a letter for the next meeting we can move on . <br /> Vickers agrees to do this . <br /> Norwood states that the letter should not be so focused on transfer station traffic <br /> because that is going to create the least amount of additional traffic . No one is <br /> connecting that every cop car, ambulance, street bus, everything in the town that gets <br /> gas will now have to go down Eubanks Rd . Besides when the Animal Shelter opens, <br /> many more cars will use that as well in addition to the new development, the Mellott <br /> Building, and the school . <br /> Tipton asks for request to study pedestrian and bike transportation as well . <br /> Bowerman asks where the new dropoff site will be ? <br /> 8 <br />
