KIBS272578 PIADII MG & ZON NG COPMSSION I+IEETMG - April 10, 1968 2 C. Request for Exception for Sanitary Fill Site at Ibnashka Bav - .L" ,w . me case was reviaaea. i-x. R:elcn moved, seconded by P;r. Hallace, that th exception be granted. The meeting was recessed and public hearing opened. Mr. Erwin asked where the site was located, and it was pointed out on the map. PI•. Erwin stated that, as property owner of the area next door to the site, he is against it because it would create a rat problem and a health hazard. He stated that there have been many more rats in the area of the present dump than there were before. He thought that the f]1,1 area would drain through his property, polluting his water supply. He felt that t1 is location of the fill r' site would lower the value of his property, and he felt that the garbage should either be barged out or incinerated. It was suggested that if the fill site were used, as much material as possible should be burned. However, 11r. Berg,, representing the VFW recreation site on the far side of the proposed fill site, objected to burning because it would get into the water and ruin the beach area. Otherwise, he had no objection to a land fill site as such, if it were maintained according to the best practices, including being filled every day. The problm$%n with the previous sites is that they have not been properly maintained. 11ter further discussion, the hearing was closed and meeting reconvened. Vx. wallape asked if other sites had been investigated. Hr. Best replied that they had, but that this site was the most suitable, since the alternatives would either, be in the watershed or beyond the Navy Base, which is not feasible distance- ' wise. 1r. Keiser felt that if the new site were properly maintained with the proper attendants present and the proper equipment, the rats and other problems could be sufficiently controlled. is. Waller was coriaer,nea about paper blowing around and being a nuisance. It was felt that all of these problems should be taken under consideration when writing the contract with the : spoeal company and that tine proper requirements for maintenance should be included. fir. welch felt that the decision on the exception should be postponed rniuii g further study and the possibility of caai.ng up with a more agreeable arrangedieit. Mr. Welch moved, seconded by Ix. I-taney, that action be tabled until the next meeting to give the Coanission time to look into the matter further.
