Minutes - Regular Meeting Solid Waste Advisory Board May 7, 2009 Approved June 3, 2009 Bowerman asks Steve is the Rogers Rd . community viewed as a small community by the Commissioners or is it larger out Millhouse way . I know the people that live in the area have one way they look at things but I ' m not sure it is shared by those in the county . Yuhasz states that a lot of this that we are talking about predates my participation and knowledge so I can only speak by hearsay . It is my understanding that at some point nition of the historic Rogers Rd . community created to in the past there was a defi which all parties agreed . Whether Millhouse is or is not a part of that I don' t know . Vickers states that there was a report that talked about that issue not too long ago . It ity as those landowners that had been there from the defined the Rogers Rd . commun 60 ' s or something like that. It was a period . of people that had continued residents on the property not newcomers to the area . It surprised me that it was somewhat split. This was in a Carrboro report and how they were dealing with the sewer assistance . Norwood states that if it is allowed, Rev . Campbell can tell you what areas were included . Campbell states that when the discussions began in the 90s about all the different 16 sites and during the land [fill] owners group and neighborhood association group work groups we identified what the Rogers - Eubanks community was to be and what it is . All the way from Billabong to New Jericho Rd . and part of the Blackwood Mountain area up to the Emerson Waldorf School was put into that section . When they began to talk about the water and sewer and the cost it was all the way over to Allen' s Barbecue . That was part of the area that was considered as being the historic ity . It has never changed . The only thing that changed is Rogers -Eubanks commun when they came back and [former] Commissioner Carey headed up the Enhancement Taskforce they redefined an area for enhancing the Rogers Rd . neighborhood . Even at that time we said " You cannot leave out the other area . We are one community and have always been a community even when it was farmland and they were using it to cut down timber to use the wood to make houses in this area . " Sassaman states I've got one question for staff or whomever, that Rev . Campbell mentioned something about the University offering a site, which is new to me . The only person that I ' ve heard suggest that the UNC North property might be a good place for a waste transfer station is myself. Despite the fact that I live less than a mile from that property that has a lot of appeal to me because it meets all of what I think are the key criteria of being close to the waste centroid, transportation routes and where the garbage is but that is the first time I ' ve heard anybody other than myself say that. Do any of you know anything about it? 8
