PURPOSE: To authorize a long-term lease for a solid waste convenience
center site on Saddle Club Road in Cheeks Township.
BACKGROUND: On October 1, 1993, the County undertook a transition
between the old system of unattended greenbox sites and a new system of
staffed, consolidated solid waste convenience centers. Six of the
previous nineteen greenbox sites were retained as interim staffed
sites, which do not provide all the services that will be provided at
the solid waste convenience centers, once they are established. One of
the six sites is located on High Rock Road, just south of the Cheeks-
Cedar Grove Township line. The County leases this site of just under 2
acres from Mr. Carl Walters for $100 per month.
For several months, the County staff has been exploring the possibility
of entering into a long-term lease for the High Rock Road site under
which the County would develop it as the first complete solid waste
convenience center. During discussions with Mr. Walters, he indicated
that he would also be willing to lease another site on Saddle Club Road
to the County for this purpose. This would be an 8 acre site, within
one mile of the existing High Rock Road site, also just south of the
Cheeks-Cedar Grove line. The site would be larger than the standard
planning figure of 2 acres in order to comply with watershed
restrictions on impervious surface, assuming that the high density
option for the Back Creek Watershed is approved as recommended.
Mr. Walters has indicated his willingness to lease the site for a
period of 25 years, for $200 per month, with an escalation clause
(related in some way to the consumer price index) built in. The County
would be responsible for all costs of developing and operating the
site Advantages to this site include that there are no residents in
the immediate vicinity who might be disturbed by activity at the site;
the
land is flat and treeless, and comparatively easy to develop; and
the County could keep the interim High Rock Road site open while it
constructs a permanent site on Saddle Club Road.

The biggest disadvantage to this site is that it is not in an ideal
geographic location, as it is within one mile of the Alamance County
line. However, given the extreme difficulty experienced by the. County
in trying to establish the first solid waste convenience center during
the last three years, the County staff recommend that the Saddle Club
Road site be pursued.
If the Board gives its conceptual approval to this plan, staff would
continue the development process of the Saddle Club Road site.
Assuming that plans would be approved through the County' s subdivision
process and the State' s erosion control process, the Purchasing and
Central Services Director would prepare a lease with Mr. Walters under
the terms outlined above, subject to final review by the County
Attorney and the Chair' s signature.
RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the
Saddle Club Road lease concept, authorize staff and the County Attorney
to prepare the lease document, and authorize the Chair to sign it.
