000001 <br /> Erosion Control Division to clear and grade new site. In con- <br /> junction with clearing and grading site, two retention ponds <br /> were constructed. Chandler planned to recycle water from lower <br /> pond back through concrete plant by use of pumps. This was an <br /> option suggested by DEM but Chandler did not obtain required <br /> state permits. <br /> 2-14-85 MTC site plan approval was issued by the Planning Department in <br /> conjunction with grading and clearing activities permitted by <br /> Sedimentation and Erosion Control Division. <br /> 3-25-85 A citizen's complaint was received by the Orange County Planning <br /> Department concerning Chandler's use of new tract for washing <br /> and parking concrete trucks. <br /> 4-9-85 Chandler officials met with the Planning Department and were <br /> advised that their use of the new tract was non-conforming since <br /> the use was an extension of their existing I-3 operation and the <br /> new site was zoned R-1. Washing and parking trucks and run-off <br /> retention were both non-conforming uses. They were advised to <br /> apply for a Land Use Plan amendment and, if successful, <br /> rezoning. They were warned against further use of the property <br /> until it was brought into compliance with zoning ordinance. <br /> 4-17-85 Application for amendment of Land Use Plan received from <br /> Chandler. <br /> 5-8-85 Chandler Concrete was notified by attorney for Dr. Sally Feather <br /> and Ms. Betsy Rhine of pending legal action if non-conforming <br /> uses not terminated. <br /> 5-16-85 Complaint filed with Orange County Planning Department by <br /> attorney for Dr. Sally Feather and Ms. Betsy Rhine. <br /> 5-17-85 Chandler barricaded new driveway connecting site to Old NC 10 <br /> and ceased non-conforming use of property. <br /> 5-20-85 Planning Department met with DEM to discuss project history, <br /> options, enforcement action, etc., and to conduct site visit. <br /> 5-20-85 Chandler was formally notified by the Orange County Planning <br /> Department that all non-conforming uses of the 4.34 acre tract <br /> must cease immediately until such time as properly zoned. <br /> * This reflects main events and does not include all correspondence or tele- <br /> phone calls regarding Chandler Concrete, State Agencies and opponents to the <br /> rezoning request. <br /> Bell stated that as of May 209 1985 DEM still had not received necessary <br /> application materials from Chandler. DEM also noted that they had not advised <br /> Chandler to go off site with the retention facilities; in fact, they had <br /> suggested they use the western portion of their tract which was being used to <br /> store concrete barricades at the time. <br />
