The <br /> property was owned by Donald Wayne Combs, who was <br /> operating an automobile storage and salvage business on <br /> a portion of his lot. The Board of Commissioners <br /> approved the rezoning on the basis that the property <br /> was being used for automobile storage and salvage when <br /> Bingham Township was initially zoned on September 2, <br /> 1981, and that it should have been zoned EC-5 at that <br /> time. <br /> The decision to rezone the property was appealed to <br /> Superior Court. The Court ruled the evidence submitted <br /> during the public hearing was insufficient to justify <br /> the rezoning of the property and remanded the case <br /> (sent it back) to the Board of Commissioners for <br /> further consideration. <br />
