There are no natural <br /> environmental constraints that would hinder more intensive commercial acti- <br /> vity in the area. Also, there would be no disruption of an area of resi- <br /> dential character, with the possible exception of the area immediately to <br /> the south of the intersection of Old #10 with N.C. 86.
