Paul Kempa Rezoning Request: (Intersection of US 70 and Palmer's Grove Road) Mr. Cannity noted the Planning Staff had reservations regarding the safety of this intersection. Mr. Michael Parker, Attorney for Mr. Kempa, said there had been no fatal accidents in the past three years at that intersection and within that time frame there had been only one serious accident there. He added that, next to the intersection of US 70'with Lawrence Road, it was the second safest interection along that stretch of 70. He said there was no use for the site if it were not rezoned commercial since the site wouldn't perk. Commissioner Walker moved to approve the Planning Board's recommendation that the rezoning request be approved. Motion died for lack of a second. Commissioners Willhoit and Marshall voiced concerns over approving a rezoning for commercial development without a specific commercial plan on file; additionally, they felt with such a large tract of land to be rezoned, this rezoning process did not provide enough "checks" on the solving of "serious. problems by the owner. Commissioner Willhoit moved, seconded by Commissioner Marshall, to table this rezoning request until the next meeting and that Planning Staff explore the impli- cations of the request on the Land Use Plan for this area. Vote: Ayes, 3 (Com- missioners Gustaveson, Marshall and Willhoit); noes, 1 (Commissioner Walker).
