Best explained that there have been no serious discrepancies at the present dump, but it is inside the park and was intended only as a temporary arrangement, for which one extension has already been granted by the State. Also, the area is beginning to be developed, and there" have been some ccmplaints. The area now proposed as a sanitary fill site is off the new highway beyond USS 1678. The area is well screened from the highway and the VFv7 recreation site, and is large enough to last for many years. one objection to the area already received is that it is a beautiful area. However, all of the outlying areas are beautiful, and possible sites are limited in that they must be out of range of the watershed drainage. This will be a sanitary fill which can be reclaimed later. 11r. Uallace moved, seconded by Mr. Brothers, that it be recommended to the Assembly that the proposed area be used for sanitary fill. i'iotion carried by unanimous roll call vote. B.

Dest's letter objecting to passage of these bills was read. SB 363 would open up land over 25 miles from cities over 3,000 population to leasing upon entry, application arul survey, each tract limited to 5 acres and only one issuea to each person. SD 364 would require approval by the PLANNING & ZONING CO1 Ii SSION PnMG - imrch 13, 1966 3 legislature before private recreational lands could be sold. Air. Best felt that both of these bills, if passed, would hinder the Borough lands program.' 11r. Haney disagreed.

Welch asked the Assessor if rezoning to R-3 would affect the area tax -wise. i1r. Valkama stated that the effect would be minimal.
