<br />Change Order No. 1 for Expansion of C&D Landfill - Phase 1 and Phase 2
<br />Rick Payne, Solid Waste Manager, presented Change Order No. 1 (Phase 1
<br />& 2 contracts) totaling $317,310.00 for the expansion of the C&D Landfill.
<br />He reported additional costs were incurred for the following items: (1)
<br />removal of municipal solid waste discovered in the entryway; (2) excavation
<br />of unsuitable soil and replacement of suitable soil; and (3) discovery of an
<br />AT&T right-of-way on the property line that was not included in the original
<br />design. The cost incurred by Clup Brothers, Inc., the general contractor, to
<br />remove the waste, haul it to a permitted facility and backfill with suitable
<br />soil totaled $279,709.51. He said the engineers, Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM),
<br />resigned the expansion area at no cost to the County. However, he said a
<br />cost of $31,600.00 was incurred for design of additional monitoring wells
<br />that were required by the State to monitor the area where the municipal solid
<br />waste was found. Also, he said a 200-foot buffer was required between the
<br />1993 "close down area" and the "new expansion area" for analytical testing to
<br />determine possible well contamination between the two waste areas. Further,
<br />he reported Concord Engineering had to do additional survey work totaling
<br />$2,000.00 and AT&T required the installation of conduit to house future fiber
<br />optic lines near the spillway totaling $4,000.00.
<br />Mike Downs, Deputy County Manager reported CDM absorbed the redesign
<br />cost for the missed right-of-way and the contractor did incur. additional
<br />costs. In order to make this site workable, he said these things have to be
<br />done and County staff spent several hours in negotiation with the general
<br />contractor and engineers to reduce the price.
<br />UPON MOTION of Commissioner Privette, seconded by Commissioner
<br />Carpenter and unanimously carried, the Board voted to place Change Order No.
<br />1 totaling $317,310.00 for the expansion of the C&D Landfill on the September

<br />Department of Commerce - Chapter 3 Zoning Text Amendment
<br />Jonathan Marshall, Commerce Director, reported the proposed text
<br />amendment was initiated by a property owner who wants to redevelop a parcel
<br />zoned Limited Commercial (LC) for a nursery/greenhouse, which is currently
<br />not permitted in the LC zoning. At its August meeting, he said the Planning
<br />and Zoning Commission recommended unanimously that the Board change the
<br />ordinance to add a nursery/greenhouse to the list of permitted uses in the LC
<br />zoning district. He reported a nursery/greenhouse was shown as permitted by
<br />standards; however, there are no standards in the ordinance and the proposed
<br />text amendment will correct this error. Finally, he reported a public
<br />hearing is required.
<br />There was a brief discussion on the size of a nursery/greenhouse, the
<br />regulation of small retail establishments and bona fide agricultural uses
<br />such as Baucom's Nursery are exempt from County zoning.
<br />UPON MOTION of Commissioner Privette, seconded by Vice Chairman Juba
<br />and unanimously carried, the Board scheduled a public hearing for a proposed
<br />text amendment to Chapter 3 of the Cabarrus County Zoning Ordinance on
<br />September 25, 2006 at 6:30 p.m.
