• “People” concerns. Reynolds told the supervisors that the proposed location should not be considered because of “too many people.” He alluded to bulldozers operating in the evening, increased traffic and impact on land values as people problems. He predicted that every property owner nearby would challenge a decision to locate a landfill on the proposed site and the challenge would continue in the courts. “Each of these landowners would have some question of impact,” Reynolds said.
Reynolds presented a petition to the supervisors calling for the Board to rescind a November 5 decision to condemn the 138-acre tract for use as a landfill. The Board had voted 4-0 to acquire the tract via condemnation; Supervisor Clarence Baldwin of Hampton District, where the landfill is proposed, was not at the meeting November 5 and did not vote.
His name, however, is one of the 297 signatures reportedly on the petition.
“I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Reynolds,” Supervisor Baldwin said. “I’m not against locating a landfill in Hampton District, but I think that this is out of the question.”
