090 13 <br /> He noted that zoning was in place in 1: 81 and he <br /> felt this was a very significant two years. He <br /> referred to the aerial photographs noting that he <br /> felt it was obvious that there were some cars <br /> under the trees but, that, he didn't feel there <br /> was a significant number of cars stored there to <br /> signify a commercial operation. He continued <br /> that he felt none of the evidence stipulated the <br /> location of the cars except the letter signed by <br /> Mr. Arrington which stated that the cars were in <br /> the middle of the field and this was not the <br /> case.

The action on this rezoning will set a <br /> precedent for a number of similar situations <br /> - -, in Orange County. <br /> She asked Hinkley if Mr. Combs had removed some <br /> cars from the property. Hinkley responded <br /> that 250 cars had been crushed on the site and <br />
