Land use and development within one-half mile radius of proposed site will be used to assess ��toD�a| compa�bi|�vissues related t000nnador streets and nJada." She asked that the potential also focus on the traffic that goes right past the potential transfer station sitas, especially school buses from existing and future school sites that are just outside the half-mile radius. Jack Sanders made reference to item #1 on Technical Criteria, Central Location to Collection Routes. He said that the application has to do with the shortest road mile distance from the centroid. Regarding item #12 and the carbon footp[int, he said that the footprint really has to do with all types of emissions. He said that the only thing that actually matters with this application is the increased travel distance from the centroid of the waste generation to the proposed transfer site. He said that item #12 is another consideration of item #1. He requested that the information about#12 be moved over and added as another consideration of ite #1. He said that there are a number of other considerations that could be added, and it all boils down to the shortest road mile distance from the centroid such as impact on air quality. He also requested that the "impact on air quality" be moved to the Technical Criterion #12, and then #12 could be moved into item #1 or something could be added about the number of residents affected for#2 in the Community-Specific Criteria. Regarding Community-Specific Criterion #12 and coets, he questions whether cost is a community-specific criterion as such that it ought to be listed here. He said that the County cannot afford to pay for the initial site preparation of any site and he personally objects to using costs as a Community-Specific Criterion. Commissioner Gordon asked Olver representatives if they wanted to address the traffic criteria #5 and #10 and if the traffic going by the site is addressed. Bob Sallach said that, as far as the traffic oO[np8tibi|ity, they are looking at the roadway connectors and the impact that the traffic has along those particular access points. Commissioner Gordon asked if the traffic going by does count and Bob Sallach said yes. Commissioner Gordon noted Jack Sanders concerns. She said that some of the issues he was concerned about were addressed at the last meeting but he did not hear the discussion since he was not in attendance. Bob Sallach said that time is being factored in for this particular criterion. Commissioner Gordon asked about her proposed changes and Bob Sallach said that they would recommend accepting these changes and incorporating them. Commissioner Nelson made reference to the cost question and said that the County Commissioners have a fiduciary responsibility to taxpayers to look at costs. He said that it should not be the on|y h [ity, but itiea priority, and the ohterioOshould beiOdUded. He said that, to Olver's cn8dit, it is ranked low with a ranking of 5. He thinks that it is GppnJpriate, but he hears what Mr. Sanders is saying. A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee, seconded by Commissioner Carey to adopt the Final Technical and (�oDlrnuOity-8pecifio ��rita[imiO the Transfer ��t@tioOSiting process and authorize Olver, Inc. to proceed with application of screening criteria and weighting factors and the ranking of potential candidate sites. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Chair Jacobs said that the resolutions from Rev. Campbell would be put on one of the next Transfer Station Siting Work Sessions.
