6 <br />not certain. Commissioner Willhoit asked that another option be considered for <br />the tank. <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS <br />Burnice Sparrow said that the waste would ruin the property value for the <br />whole area. He suggested putting the sludge in the towns where it is <br />generated. He said he has suffered enough and does not want the waste put on <br />him. He asked that it be stored in Chapel Hill and not out in the County. <br />MOTION <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner <br />Willhoit to refer the proposed Zoning Atlas amendment to the Planning Board <br />for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of County Commissioners no <br />sooner than August 8, 1994. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />b. Z-4-94 Bobby Kirk <br />Emily Cameron presented for citizen comments a proposed Zoning <br />Atlas Amendment in Bingham Township as requested by Bobby Kirk. In summary, <br />the property is located at the northwest corner of Orange Grove Road and <br />Bradshaw Quarry Road in the Cane Creek Protected Watershed. The applicant <br />proposes to rezone five (5) acres to Neighborhood Commercial. <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS <br />Bobby Kirk, the applicant, stated he plans to put a community store <br />on this site. It will be a rustic type building with a porch on the front and <br />back. He said there is a need for a store of this type in this area. He <br />asked that the Board approve this rezoning. The Bingham Township Advisory <br />Board voted unanimously in support of this rezoning. <br />Alan Miller stated that he lives adjacent to the proposed rezoning. <br />He has no objections to a country store but noted that there are other uses <br />permitted in a "Neighborhood Commercial" designation including a motor vehicle <br />service station. He noted that there are five service stations from I-40 to <br />the courthouse and he objects to a service station in this location. The Cane <br />Creek Protected Watershed is directly across the road from this area. <br />QUESTIONS/COMMENTS FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OR <br />PLANNING BOARD <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked for an explanation of motor vehicle <br />service station and if it included gasoline pumps. <br />Commissioner Willhoit noted that all runoff would have to be <br />contained onsite. He does not feel there is much different between a full <br />service station and one with gasoline pumps. <br />MOTION <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by <br />Commissioner Insko to refer this proposed Zoning Atlas Amendment to the <br />Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the County Commissioners <br />no sooner than August 8, 1994. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />6.
