ft 2. 3. !�. which could be used to enlarge the lot of record and thus meet minimum set- 5. back requirements. 6. Article 6 7. The Board expressed deep concern over section 6.23, "Commercial 8. Storage and Disposal of Hazardous and Toxic Substances." Commissioner 9. Walker pointed out this this heading included such things as pesticide 10. which is normally found on a farm. Commissioner Gustaveson noted the 11. presence of the University of North Carolina and N.C. Memorial Hospital 12. in Orange County, both of which present unique disposal problems. After 13. much discussion the Board directed the Staff to rewrite this section to re- 14. quire a special use'permit .for the storage and disposal of such substances. 15. The Board further directed the Staff to rewrite this Section with detailed 16. requirements regarding the use, retail, sale and storage of such substances 17. and to submit both directives to the Planning Board for its recommendation. 18. Commissioner Whitted questioned sub-section 6.16.6.1, wondering if 19. complimentary items which accompany homemade items would be outlawed under 20, the Proposed Zoning Ordinance.

Mr. Polatty replied that 3�+• it maximized land use. Commissioner Whitted expressed his opinion that it 35. was not the goal of the Board to restrict such housing to one area only. 1 36.
