3~5 <br />A history of the request, recommendation and conditions of <br />approval are an attachment to these minutes. <br />Collins noted that there was no designation on the plan to <br />( indicate whether or not the recycling facility is to be served <br />by electricity and whether the utility would be underground. <br />Thus, a 9th condition has been added that underground <br />utilities must be provided. <br />Planning Board Chair Jacobs asked what the effect would be to <br />change the proposal from PDI-I-3 to PDI-I-I. Collins <br />responded that all the uses. permitted in PD-I-3 are also <br />permitted in PD-I-l. The question is one of impact. In this <br />particular use, no structure is involved, it is all open use <br />of land. An I-1 district would entail slightly more <br />restrictive control. <br />Phil- Post, consulting engineer .for the Chandler Concrete <br />Company request, reviewed for the Boards the project <br />describing the recycling facility, parking facility and the <br />reforestation to complete the project. He noted that the <br />applicant agreed with the conditions imposed but stated that <br />the only utility used would be for the single phase pump and <br />that has been placed underground. He reviewed the reasons for <br />the project which was to bring it into compliance with the <br />Department of Environmental Management. <br />John Capewell listed his qualifications as a real estate <br />appraiser. He indicated that it is his professional opinion <br />that the rezoning request will not have an adverse effect on <br />~;,;~ surrounding properties. (A copy of Mr. Capewell's report is <br />an attachment to these minutes). <br />Tom Chandler, applicant, presented his request to the Boards. <br />(A copy of his statement and permit from DEM are included as <br />attachments in the permanent agenda file.) <br />Robert E. Rhine, adjoing property owner, stated that he and <br />his two sisters (also adjoining property owners) were the <br />major opposition for the original rezoning request of Chandler <br />Concrete. He stated that they no longer oppose the request <br />and are confident that, upon approval, Mr. Chandler will <br />reforest the area as promised. <br />Planning Board member Pilkey asked if it is Mr. Rhine's <br />understanding that the land will not be reforested unless the <br />rezoning is approved. Mr. Rhine indicated that he felt if the <br />rezoning is not approved, the land will not be. used nor <br />reforested. Pilkey asked if Mr. Rhine agreed with the <br />appraiser's statement. He responded that he really was not <br />qualified to agree or disagree with that opinion, he had faith <br />that Mr. Chandler would replant trees as proposed. <br />Moreland Claytor, property owner on US Highway 70A across from <br />the old Hines Liner Company, indicated that lack of water from <br />the creek on her property for her cattle was her concern. She <br />indicated that there was a significant amount of concrete in <br />the stream which prevented the flow of water to her property. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked where the concrete was coming <br />
