Fir - <br />79r <br />Sub -Element, to maximize the use of existing facilities and <br />discourage urban sprawl. - NO COMMENT <br />OBJECTIVE 4 RECYCLING AND WASTE VOLUME REDUCTION <br />By 1994, the county through the recycling program will have <br />reduced the volume of solid waste to be buried in the landfill <br />by 30%. <br />Director Keating informed the Board that he would like to <br />have authorization to clarify in Policy 4.6 that AG is exempt <br />from the restrictions on open burning. This was suggested by <br />Mrs. Lier earlier. Also, under the specific criteria there, they <br />have been working with the Health Department, and it may not be <br />the Planning Department issuing the permit any more. If they can <br />have that authorization, they know the Board's intent. <br />Bud Kleckner, member of the P&Z Commission, first wished to <br />discuss Policies 4.4 and 4.6, which are as follows: <br />POLICY 4.4: To decrease open burning, by 1995 the county shall <br />acquire a larger Air Curtain Destructor for the county landfill, <br />which can handle a large volume of construction debris and other <br />wood materials. <br />POLICY 4.6: By September 1990, the county in coordination with <br />the Department of Environmental Health and the Division of <br />Forestry will draft and adopt an ordinance prohibiting open <br />burning by requiring the use of air curtain incinerators when <br />recycling is not feasible. The coordination in this ordinance <br />will be as follows: <br />Planning Department will issue permit; <br />Health Department will -enforce requirements; and <br />Division of Forestry will police and control open burning. <br />Mr. Kleckner noted that Policy 4.4 has a 1995 date, and he <br />felt that date should be moved up. In regard to Policy 4.6, he <br />was very concerned about the fact that we are urbanizing AG <br />areas, and if we say we are going to exempt AG, are we going to <br />exempt it all over or just in the green AG areas. He advised <br />that he has been receiving many comments about the smoke, <br />particularly in the northern part of the barrier island. He felt <br />4.6 is a good policy and suggested that possibly after the words <br />124 <br />
