; 7 may be constructed to Orange County standards which do not require a udnimml sight distance. Sheperd pointed out on a map those areas affected by limited sight distance. The best solution would be to move the road further east ',- which would enable a person approaching the intersection to see further down the hill. That is not possible because of an existing lot. A cul-de-sac off of Frazier Road is not desirable because the proposed lot layout would result in two lots with double frontage which is not permissible in the Subdivision _. Ordinance, and two lots which are useless because of their location. He expressed no problem in accepting the recommendation of the Planning Staff. A motion to substitute a motion was made by Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Lloyd to approve the recommendation of the Planning Staff.

' •LE:A49,74 •32 ste 14 44,1Dis.1 w_kx • :1 _4_0 I-i LEMR---CCEMMISCRM Planner Gene Bell presented for consideration a proposed secondary amendment to the Land Use Plan submitted to public hearing on May 28, 1985. Two principal issues were raised: (1) undesirable and potentially hazardous industrial wastewater runoff and (2) possible expansion of an existing concrete plant operation. Following the hearing, Mr. Chandler, the owner, '-i amended his application to include an area of 1.41 acres rather than 4.34 acres as originally requested. This would give him just enough area to s-,- encompass the retention ponds. The amended application sought to address the ' protection of the public safety, health and welfare, and citizen concerns regarding expansion of the plant and increased traffic. The Planning Board recommends denial of the request based on a 3 to 4 vote on a motion to approve the 1.41 acre amended request. The Planning Department recommends approval of the request provided that a smaller area of the lot in question is designated. Staff recommends that the proposed lot line be moved to the northwest approximately 120 feet reducing the area for redesignation from 1.41 acres to 0.86 acres. Chair Willhoit acknowledged receipt of a letter from Mr. Harry Harkins, attorney representing Ms. Rhine and Ms. Feather, requesting that the Harkins, attorney representing Mb. Rhine and Ns. Feather, requesting that the amended application be subject to another public hearing because of the substantial change in the application. John Chandler,. President of Chandler Concrete, indicated the request is a modification of the request that went to public bearing on May 28. The request is that less property be subject to the Land Use Plan. He accepts the decision that expansion of his business is not desired by the community. He constructed the ponds to comply with environmental regulations. He presented a letter to substantiate his comments about the ponds. The 1.41 acres is the minimal amount that will enable him to meet environmental regulations. Philip Post, engineer for the applicant, illustrated on a map the location of the two ponds and the provisions to accommodate the runoff of water. A third basin is recommended in order to accommodate the 100-year storm. In answer to a question from Chair Willhoit, Gene Bell indicated the amendment to the Land Use Plan would be needed to provide for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare and to address the runoff problem. Approval of the request would enable Mr. Chandler to meet local requirements and submit his plans for the retention ponds to the State. Mr. Chandler indicated the amendment is based on an extension of a designated use onto contiguous property not in excess of 10 acres. He pointed out that when the ponds were put in he had a permit to grade and dig the ponds which was approved by the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Officer for the County. 1-
