The Board requested SWAC substantiate their previous recommendation to site a new
recycling center and fixture transfer station at the Knott landfill location. Using the
opportunity to obtain additional input to the siting question SWAC held a public
informational meeting on March 18, 1996. A copy of the agenda for this meeting and a
brief synopsis of the presentation made by SWAC members is attached. Specifically,
SWAC indicated that a number of options were considered for the siting of these facilities
but the Knott location was the most appropriate based on the pros and cons associated
with that location. Approximately 11 citizens attended the public meeting. Comments
received at this meeting was favorable to the Knott location siting question with no
comments against such siting location.
SWAC again is recommending to the Board they take appropriate action to site these
facilities at the Knott landfill location. To substantiate this recommendation we provide the
following:
• No substantial citizen concern Nvas raised at the public meeting, and furthermore no
alternatives or options were presented at such meeting.
• Current zoning of Knott requires a conditional. land use application while other sites
may require re -zoning, Attached is a letter from legal counsel regarding zoning issues.
• Familiarity with the Knott site by self haulers and commercial users provides a
historical basis for this location.
• Attached to this document and presented at the meeting is a list of pros regarding the
siting issue.
• This recommendation is consistent with previous action by SWAC in May of 1994.
• It is consistent with direction the Board gave to staff by resolution in June, 1994:

• It completes the master plan study performed for the County by URS, cow"Itamts, in
July, 1995.
• SWA.0 is mindful that there are some potential drawbacks for the use of Knott as a
location for a future transfer station and recycling center, The cone listed in the
attached document identifies some of those drawbacks.
SWAC has taken action on March 21, 1996 to again recommend to the Board the siting of
these facilities at Knott landfill location on property owned by the County and zoned SM.
