<br /> Mr. Bailey of Lane County staff said the increased operational effort should provide a seal ,I

<br /> II which would keep water from coming through garbage, which is what creates the odor problem.
<br /> II
<br /> " There are also chemicals which can be used.
<br /> ,
<br /> .,
<br /> II
<br /> Mr. Williams asked for assurance that when the. odor problem could not be effectively control-
<br /> led through covering, chemicals would be used. Mr. Bailey agreed that whatever was necessary
<br /> " would be done.
<br /> ,

<br /> " Mr. Bruce Chase, 3 Chevy Chase Lane, said he owned property in this area and felt the land-
<br /> fill development would be very detrimental to his subdivision operation. He felt this con-
<br /> touring was premature since plans for the park have not been finalized. In answer to
<br /> Councilman Mohr, he said the plan he was referring to was one which called for 18 holes of
<br /> golf in this area.
<br /> ,
<br /> In answer to Mr. Mohr, the City Manager said the Planning Commission had seen an overlay of
<br /> I
<br /> " an area that would be required to accommodate nine holes for golf in three different loca- ':
<br /> ,
<br /> " tions. It was felt this would require a great deal of land and has not been discussed in
<br /> e "
<br /> detail.
<br /> Mr. Chase stated that his point was that planning had not been finalized for this area of
<br /> the park, and contouring would be premature. "
<br /> :'
<br /> .
<br /> Bill Wiswall, 3366 Chevy Chase, said he had a statement in which residents indicated they
<br /> I were opposed to relocation of the dump and the entering into an agreement by the City for
<br /> this purpose. He said the area is icreened now by trees, but they are quite barren in the
<br /> wintertime. This is unsightly for them to look upon. In the event an agreement was reached,
<br /> the City should make certain how long the operation would continue. Residents immediately
<br /> , abutting the land feel it would depress the value of their property. Some have attempted
<br /> "
<br /> , to sell, but were unable to do so. Mr. Wiswall was concerned about approval from the
<br /> "
<br /> " Department of Environmental Quality and felt a report should be submitted to the County
<br /> 'I
<br /> " approving this particular site for use.
<br /> :'
<br /> 'I
<br /> !' Driver said the County had operated on this site previously and that the existing
<br /> :' Mr.
<br /> !,
<br /> , operation had never been defined as the Boundaries of the sanitary landfill. By having
<br /> operated previously on the north side, it was not felt necessary to go to the Department
<br /> of Environmental Quality at this time.
<br /> ,
<br /> Mr. Wiswall felt this was a2gifferent site with different problems, and that the Department
<br /> of Environmental Quality should be asked for a report.
<br /> i; Mr. Teague pointed out that after the waterways and grading were completed, adjacent
<br /> II property would appreciate in value.
<br /> ;:
<br /> "
<br /> ~ ! Mr. Wiswall was sure it would become a ,park whether or not the landfill operation was
<br /> permitted there.
<br /> "
<br /> Mrs. Virginia Gick, 3370 Bardell, said she had not started construction of her home until
<br /> I she had been assured the dump would be closed. After her other house was sold it was
<br /> announced that the operation would continue another year. It has now continued four years,
<br /> and if moved across the street she' will be looking directly at this garbage.
<br /> Councilman Mohr questioned several residents about their assessed p;op~;ty valuation and
<br /> , whether it had been lowered recently. It appeared in every instance it-Sad been raised.
<br /> "
<br /> Ii
<br /> d In answer to Mrs. Beal, the City Manager said a time limit on use of the site for landfill
<br /> ;!
<br /> 'I could be part of the agreement with the County.
<br /> e ,
<br /> ;:
<br /> ,I
<br /> i[ Clarence Chase, 2 Chevy Chase Lane, said Chase Ga~dens had given some land to the Alton "
<br /> :
<br /> Baker Park which had ~ecomea public road to the dump. He asked when they would have the
<br /> North Bank Park. He ,was also concerned with the proposed waterways, and that not enough
<br /> planning had gone into this before starting to excavate.
<br /> Mr. Mohr was still concerned about ~he length of time the landfill would take. Commissioner
<br /> Hayward said she understood that with regard to the city property it would take about ten
<br /> months. Mr. Driver said he anticipated the operation would take about ~hree years, but it
<br /> could be completed in two years with the amount of material now being dumped.
<br /> ,I
<br /> "
<br /> " Mrs. Hayward said she had been sitting with the North Bank Advisory Committee, and that they
<br /> .,
<br /> "
<br /> "
<br /> ii had heard testimony about the requested golf course. It was her understanding that if this
<br /> " property were used for a golf course, the grading of the land would be about the same and
<br /> I:
<br /> II the waterways would be created in the same way. The golf course would be only a temporary
<br /> , use, and it would be put to more general use later. The creation of waterways and grading
<br /> I 11
<br /> , could be done more quickly through use as a sanitary landfill.
<br /> ,.
<br /> :'
<br /> I' Mr. Carl Fisher, 565 Merewether, said he lived close to the present landfill in the Chevy
<br /> il
<br /> I, Chase area. He felt the area appeared as large as the area now in use, and that fuhe county
<br /> had been using the present site for seven years or so. Equipment will run every night and
<br /> cause them extreme discomfort. As a resident of Chevy Chase he was definitely in opposition ;i
<br /> to this landfill.
