Mr. Ninunons stated that he was requesting an exemption due to a medical
problem.
Mr. Cheek: The four criteria that we used for exemptions in the past are distance
from the road where the can would be placed, damage to private property should the
truck have to drive onto private property to make the pickups, public safety ifthere was
an issue of locating the cans on a major thoroughfare or something that would make it
unsafe for the hauler to pick up the cans or consent of the hauler since this would be

removing a can from that route. He qualifies for the special needs consideration which
means the hauler would come down to the house and haul the can back up.

Motion adopted unanimously.
