• <br /> • <br /> 194 <br /> however, we have not obtained formal, written approval for the use <br /> of the ponds in the railroad right of way. It has been my <br /> experience that approval of any use in a railroad right of way <br /> takes approximately six to eight months. In Durham I have used <br /> railroad right of way for a variety of uses and the Railroad <br /> has always consented to the uses. <br /> The amount of land under consideration, approximately 1. 41 <br /> acres, is the minimum amount which will be adequate to enable us <br /> to meet the environmental, regulations. In the event we should <br /> have to move the ponds from the right of way, we can merely shift <br /> them forward without having to relocate the recycling equipment. <br /> As you are aware, in May we proposed a modification of the <br /> Land Use Plan for the four acre tract next to the concrete plant. <br /> Originally I had intended to expand my business in addition to <br /> taking care of the potential environmental problem. However, as <br /> a result of the public hearing, I now realize that expansion of <br /> my business operation is not now desired by the community. I <br /> accept that decision. <br /> As a result of the public hearing held in May several <br /> concerns of the community were brought to my attention and I <br /> would like to briefly comment about those concerns . <br /> One concern was the effect of an expansion of my business on <br /> the community, specifically with reference to land value and to <br /> the impact on traffic on SR 1710. <br /> Public Hearing Comments :3 <br />
