Fodderstack Road
Access from “difficult, hilly, curvy” Fodderstack Road will pose a traffic hazard and disturb “the serenity of the county seat” just a mile and a half from the proposed dump, attorney Allen Olson said.
“I suggest the supervisors not be so cheap as to cheapen the county seat and an historic district by converting it to an industrial access road to through dump traffic,” said Charles Eldred, Washington resident.
The 13 to 15 blind comers or blind summits on Fodderstack “provide a significant hazard,” Lee Bird told the supervisors. “And the proposed entry (to the landfill) is at the most dangerous and biggest blind summit.”
If the board requires that access to the proposed dump be from Route 211 rather than the Fodderstack Road, “You’ll get rid of half the opposition,” Robert Eastham advised the supervisors.
The Fodderstack Road is only a 40 foot right-of-way, it has no shoulders and the paved portion of the road measures just 18 feet wide, said Susan Lane, whose residence is closest to the proposed dump site.
The standard trash truck, when it’s empty, weighs just 500 pounds less than the load limit for the Fodderstack bridge, Sherry Hamill pointed out. In determining that building an access road from Route 211 will be more expensive than providing access from the Fodderstack, has the cost of upgrading that bridge been figured in, she asked.
