a 1963 agreement with the County in which a. five acre strip
was to have been used by the Countyas a buffer between Mr.
Mutinsky's property and the landfill., operation. He stated that
the County had been using thisstrip for junked cars and the
burning of these caused an odor situation; he also stated that
the City often dumped their refuse at a time when no equipment
was available to cover it until several hours later. The
Administrator advised Mr. Mutinsky that the junked cars were
soon to be cleared off, that the operation itself was moving
farther away from Mr. Mutinsky's property and that one of the

Board has reviewed the Typical Section presented by the State
Road Department for State Road.607, Section 88570, Job 601,

five foot bicycle path on either the east side or the west side.

Unit #2 was read. The Administrator.reported that the County
Road Department was busy With.otherprojecte, that he had not
intended to go into a full scale operation on this project but
felt that the Road Department could, from time to time, go there
and do some drainage work and lay marl roads. It was suggested
that the owners of these lots might like to pay the difference
between the cost of the marl'roads and paved streets, and the
Administrator was authorized to contact the owners to see if
they would be willing to pay this difference to bring the
Subdivision up to regular Subdivision Regulations. He said that

part of the summer.

a parking area at this place of business. After some discussion,
it was decided that the County had no authority in the matter,
that it would be at the jurisdiction of the City and the State
Road Department. Due to the danger of the traffic.at this
particular point, the Administrator was authorised to advise
the State Road Department that the County Commissioners do not
approve of the cut in the curb.

Commissioner Dritenbas and unanimously carried that the County
