Management's consulting civil engineers and geologists were also present and
submitted additional information about the proposal . It was disclosed that the
landfill would operate for approximately 10 years, and that the only method
of disposal would be by burial and that the land would be used for purposes
conforming to the Village's Guide Plan and Zoning Ordinance following the
completion of the fill .
Mr. Art Lee, Director of Public Works for the County of Hennepin, was present
and reported on the County's solid waste disposal planning and a proposed
County Ordinance regulating the operation of sanitary landfills. He noted
that the County Board had recently established a policy whereby the County
would limit it's involvement to planning and regulating and would, for the
present at least , rely on private operators to supply solid waste disposal
facilities. In the event the private sector was not able or willing to
adequately provide such facilities, the County might at some future date sevelope
such facilities themselves. The County plans to hire enough competent inspectors
to assure that the landfills were operated in accordance with the County regula-
tions. These regulations are being prepared with the cooperation of the State
• Pollution Control Agency.

proposed the development would relate to nearby developed single family areas,
He said that he was confident that the entire acreage could at some future
date be developed for residential purposes but that he and his client were
of the opinion that a more appropriate development might be to locate the
residentila unites on the high land at the .west of the site and to use the
remainder as a golf course thus preserving the existing site as much as
possible.
