Sec. 99 paccel 5.
Mr. Thomas states further that we must have landfills, that this land is an
excellent site by geography and topography and that the citizens of the area will
be benefitted by a better road and if necessary an 8-ft. high solid board fence.
Mr. Schneider states that he cann ~ use the County's dump in some cases because
of security reasons but as long as the County provides a landfill he will use it
when possible.
Mr. John Dodson, representing Mrs. Sara Sinclair, speaks in opposition to this
request, stating that the land is now ready for industry, that the ravine is
subject to flooding and that there are three streams flowing into the ravine
which would cause some problem if filled, that there is not an adequate procedure
policy to see that the wishes of the Board and the County Ordinance are followed.
Mr.' Thomas states that the ravine is quite a distance from the river, that the
County should police this landfill as it does the two of its own~ that his client
will put in a pipe to take care of the drainage if necessary.
Mr. Mack Spencer states that the Health Department would like to have a plan
whereby the area will be filled.
Mr. Purdy states that due to the lack of a policy procedure and the general
damage to the area, makes the following motion:
Be it Resolved,that the zoning request be denied. Whereupon Mr. Martin seconds3
said mOtion.
Mr. Apperson stat~s he is not sure that this property should be zoned for indmstry
because of its very nice view of the river, that waste disposal deserves more
consideration, that this would aid in developing the area around this site
industrially and there are some companies that need security in the disposal of
solid waste and states he would like to see this matter delayed.
Mr. Dietsch states that he has faith in the Schneider Company and that something
should be worked out to benefit all parties.
Upon further consideration, Mr. Dietsch makes a substitute motion which was
seconded by Mr. Apperson: Be it Resolved, that this zoning request be delayed
until March 11, 1970 by which time Mr. John Thomas, Mr. John Dodson and the
Commonwealth,s Attorney will have prepared an ordinance to cover the policies
of operation, policing, etc. and the zoning should be considered at that time.

is
