ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT- Z-8--89 ENVI_ROTEK. <br />This item is to consider a request from Envirotek, Inc. to chang <br />the zoning of approximately 265 acres west of I-40 and north of New Hope <br />Church Road from the Rural Buffer (RB) Zoning District to the Agricultural <br />Residential (AR) Zoning District. The property is owned by Nello L. Teer <br />Company, and the request was presented at public hearing on August 28, 1989 <br />At its September 18, 1989 meeting, the Planning Board considered the zoning <br />change request and recommended that it be denied per the Planning staff <br />recommendation. Action on the request was scheduled for consideration by <br />the Board of Commissioners at its November 6, 1989 regular meeting. In a <br />letter dated November 6, 1989, counsel for the property owner requested <br />postponement of the Board of Commissioners decision indefinitely. In a <br />letter dated March 30, 1990, counsel for the property owner requested an <br />"all deliberate speed" decision by the Board of Commissioners on its zoning <br />change request. <br />The property is located on the west side of I-40, between New <br />Hope Church Road and Old NC86. It is known as Lot 1D and a portion of Lot <br />12 of Tax Map 9, and Lot 21 of Tax Map 2 of Chapel Hill Township. The tota <br />area proposed for zoning change is 265.38 acres. If approved, the requeste <br />change in zoning would decrease the minimum lot size from two acres to <br />40,000 square feet, and would permit non--residential uses not permitted in <br />the Rural Buffer (RB) Zoning District. The Administration recommends that <br />the requested zoning change be denied, per the Planning Board <br />recommendation. <br />Ward Nye, representing Nello Teer, spoke in support of this property <br />being changed to AR. He stated that Teer feels that they have been denied <br />any reasonable use of their property because of the current classification <br />of Rural Buffer. He indicated that Teer feels that their vested rights wer <br />denied when this property was rezoned. He indicated that this rezoning <br />would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and that there is no other <br />potential quarry location in Orange County. They believe that the future <br />development needs of Orange County demand that a quarry be located in this <br />area. He mentioned that quarries are highly regulated on the Federal, Stat <br />and Local level and because of that make every effort to be good neighbors. <br />He offered to enter into the permanent record a copy of a letter from <br />Charles M. Hartsock, Jr. concerning the appraisal of this property. <br />County Attorney Gledhill stated that information concerning the <br />appraisal, which was not presented at the Public Hearing, should not be <br />taken into. consideration by the Board in making its decision because the <br />Public Hearing occurred August 28, 1989, the Planning Board considered the <br />request and made its recommendation September 18, 1989 and no new evidence
