Mr. Tapp is 66 years old, Mrs. Tapp is 60 years old. <br /> • This property has been in the Tapp family for over 70 years. It has never <br /> been used for "neighborhood commercial" purposes. <br /> • Notwithstanding the NC-2 zoning classification, the property currently has no <br /> viable neighborhood commercial use. It does not have water and sewer. <br /> While it sits between I-40 and a railroad track, it does not have access to I-40 <br /> and derives no benefit from the railroad. <br /> • The property cannot be put to use for neighborhood commercial purposes in <br /> the foreseeable future: <br /> JJH04932.T51 <br />
