§ 418-4.014. Conditions.

(a)

In considering an application for a permit, the planning commission and the board of supervisors shall consider the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the county, the orderly development of property in the county, the preservation of property values, the protection of the tax base, the effect upon the neighborhood, the likelihood of a nuisance being created, the effect upon the master plan of the county, special conditions or exceptional characteristics of the property, and its location or surroundings.

(b)

The board of supervisors, with the advice of the health officer, after hearings shall adopt by resolution regulations for operations of all refuse disposal sites. When such regulations are adopted by resolution of the board of supervisors they shall become requirements of this chapter as though incorporated herein and shall control the operation of all sites. Such regulations after hearings may be modified from time to time as the public interest may require and when notice of such modified regulations has been given they shall constitute conditions for continued operation under permits.

(c)

The planning commission and board of supervisors shall, before granting any permit, request the advice of the county health officer and other appropriate county officers. Such officers shall investigate the application and the proposed site and submit a written report of their findings, recommendations and such special conditions or proposed regulations reasonably necessary to assure that operation of the particular refuse disposal site will not constitute a public nuisance. The board of supervisors in finally approving a permit may prescribe special conditions or special regulations as deemed necessary for the particular site.

(d)

No permit shall be issued until the applicant furnishes a surety company bond in the penal sum of ten thousand dollars, the condition of which shall be that if the permittee complies with all the provisions of this chapter, regulations and any conditions which may be imposed upon the permit, the bond is to be void; otherwise, the bond is to be in full force and effect to insure the payment of any fine which may be imposed upon the permittee, any costs of suit to obtain the abatement of a public nuisance, or to pay any judgment rendered against the permittee in favor of the county, all within the limits of the bond. Such bond may be waived by the board of supervisors if the applicant is a public agency. No additional bond shall be required on an expanded site.
