Show UINTAH Commissioners may okay old landfill trade for fence By Therein Morrill How to itop people from dumping household refuge in the area ofthe old Myton landfill has been a perplexing problem for Duchesne County mizuonen. They hoped that fencing the area off would discourage illegal dumping, butafence surrounding! which is a half-mil- e property long and a quarter-mil- e wide would be expensive. Since the county has no use for the land, when the property owner of the ground immediately west of the landfill offered to purchase it from the county several months ago, commie-sioner- s listened. Scott Hagman appeared at last weeks county commission work meet-in- g to discuss details of the deal that would relieve the county of its obligation to restrict public access to the site. According to Commissioner Larry Ross, the property is not of any value to the county and it would be in its best interest to divest itself of the land. But Roes wanted to tie another deal involving the county obtaining a y from Hagman on needed some additional property he owns for construction of the new Lack Fork Bridge on west Highway 40 to the Myton landfill deal. Even though Ross expressed concerns about dosing the Myton deal before the county obtained the additional right-of-wfrom Hagman, County Commission Chairwoman Loma Stradinger was anxious to push the deal through. Hagman agreed to fence the east and north aides of the landfill and give the county the newly y, remove sections fenced of old fence that have fallen down, install a steel gate, and bury any vis-i right-of-wa- ay right-of-wa- 3-y- old injured ear in . ibie rubbish, in exchange for the county deeding the land over to him. The lands appraised value is $5,100 and Commissioner Lany Ross and Road Department Supervisor Doug Nielson questioned whether the trade would be equitable for the county. Nielson pointed out that Hagman would not have to fence the east end of the landfill if he owned it because it was adjacent to his property. So the estimated mlue of the fencing job, including materials and labor would not equal $5,100. Ross also his desire to cure the right-of-wfor the bridge before agreeing to the Myton deal. Stradinger responded that Hagman had been waiting for an answer from the commission for seven months, and she wanted to reach an agreement. Let's just get it done, she said. After placing a conference call to Duchesne County Deputy Attorney Roland Uresk to check on the legal details of transferring the deed of county owned land to a private property owner, Stradinger said, Mr. Hagman, you have yourself a deal. She shook his hand and said she would instruct Uresk to have the deed transferred to Hagman. Once Hagman left the meeting, Ross told Stradinger she needed to be able to justify the values on her deal. Stradinger replied, You mean on our deal?" "No, I mean on your deal," Ross responded. I didnt make a deal with him, you did. But you need proper justification." Stradinger assured Ross that she would have Uresk include documentation that wouldjustify the deal when he drew up the legal orders. Uresk later said the transfer ofthe property to Hagman could be justified based on the fact that the land would have deed restrictions placed on it ay statingthat no buildings or structures of any kind can be erected on the site of the old landfill. Although Stradinger shook hands with Hagman and told him he had a deal, the issue won be finalized until all three county commissioners vote on the proposal which is on the agenda for the May 13 county commission meeting, according to Uresk.
