These commitments are a matter of public record.

6. PROPOSAL AVOIDS DUMP TRUCK TRAFFIC ON PUBLIC ROADS BFI site requires clay which normally would have to be trucked in by dump trucks on public roads. This does not expand the life or scope of the landfill Clay will inevitably be obtained from some source If not from the Reeves property, from another property requiring extensive dump trucks trips on public roads This merely allows the landfill to obtain its clay without the necessity of using public roads All clay removed from the Reeves property will be taken to the adjoining BFI property to the west for use at the landfill.

7. PROPOSAL AVOIDS DUMP TRUCK TRAFFIC ON ROADS CONTINUED The Reeves’ proposal avoids dump trucks transporting clay on roads. Therefore, the Reeves plan will reduce dump truck traffic on public roads. Applicants estimate the applicants proposal would reduce trips on public roads by fifty dump truck trips per day for six-hundred days.

8. AMENDED PROPOSAL The applicants have agreed to reduce the sections that they will be excavating from ten (10) acre sections to approximately five (5) acre sections. The applicants agree that they will not extract clay from the two and seven tenths (2.7) acre site originally identified which is on Jefferson Pike and shares a property line with the property formerly known as the Matthews Property. Said section is in the northwest corner of the applicants’ property. The applicants have also agreed to reduce the acreage of the other site identified on Jefferson Pike from approximately four and one tenth (4.1) acres to approximately three and four tenths (3.4) acres.

10. AMENDED PROPOSAL The above changes will reduce the total acreage of excavation from seventy-one and four tenths (71.4) to sixty-five and two tenths (65.2).

14. NO ACCESS THROUGH RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS As stated above, this will avoid the necessity for tens of thousands of dump truck trips on adjoining public roads Access to the property will not be through any existing residential neighborhood By keeping 60,000 dump truck trips off the roads, this will keep the area’s streets and children safer
