May 3, 2011 <br />Mike Downs <br />Deputy County Manager <br />65 Church St. SE <br />Concord, NC 28025 <br />RE: Hwy 49 C &D Landfill Zoning Compliance <br />Mr. Downs: <br />The C&D landfill operated by Hwy 49 Landfill, Inc. located in the Town of Harrisburg is currently <br />compliant with all zoning regulations, including the conditions outlined in the Conditional Zoning <br />approved by the Harrisburg Town Council. <br />Specifically, the Conditional Zoning stated that Hwy 49 Landfill, Inc. had to meet the following <br />requirement: <br />A new berm as necessary shall be provided to increase sight and noise protection for <br />neighbors along Mulberry Road south of Parcel 5528 -01 -3537. All other buffers shall <br />remain undisturbed and must meet minimum Harrisburg UDO planting and buffering <br />requirements. <br />To meet this requirement, Hwy 49 Landfill, Inc. was responsible for constructing a berm per the standards <br />of the Unified Development Ordinance, which call for a 6ft tall earthen berm with evergreen trees planted <br />every 50 feet. Hwy 49 Landfill, Inc. went above these standards by constructing an earthen berm <br />approximately 17 feet tall at grade, with cedar trees planted in an offset pattern with a minimum of 3 cedar <br />trees every 50 feet. Furthermore, the Unified Development Ordinance calls for trees to be a minimum of <br />6ft in height at the time of planting. Hwy 49 Landfill, Inc. installed trees which were 8 -10 R tall at the <br />time of planting, which exceeds the minimum requirements of the ordinance. <br />It is the determination of this department that Hwy 49 Landfill, Inc. has not only met the requirements of <br />their Conditional Zoning, but has exceeded the minimum requirements as set forth in the Unified <br />Development Ordinance <br />If you have any further questions, please contact the Planning and Zoning Department at 704 -455 -5614. <br />Sicarely, <br />Jo R.
