<br />Paul Lein of Brundage Lane on
<br />whether this zoning map
<br />redrawing was a first step toward
<br />a new annexation project, Anthony
<br />said, 'The city is exercising its
<br />authority to go out one mile" to
<br />control land use outside its
<br />boundaries. "It is not necessary for
<br />the municipality to take this step
<br />before it annexes."
<br />Anthony added, "This does not
<br />extend the tax base. The sole
<br />purpose is to extend land -uee
<br />controls."
<br />Fleming; representing the three
<br />owners of land just northeast of
<br />the intersection of I -85 and Nei 19,
<br />said he wanted to "strenuously
<br />3IFi:, . t F.; ...: • .:,i:. object" to the town's proposal to
<br />-- - zone that area R -20, which is
<br />C ��� residential lots of at least 20,000
<br />square feet.
<br />He Paid the land could fetch a
<br />price of $20,000 to $25,000 an acre
<br />sa an industrial or commercial
<br />zone, but probably no more than
<br />$4,000 to $6,000 an acre as a
<br />residential zone. Further, he said a
<br />commercial developer is interested
<br />in buying the land for a
<br />commercial use, and would need a
<br />commercial or industrial zone.
<br />Fleming Paid his clients want a
<br />designation of M -1, which allows
<br />- induatrial'usea.
<br />Fleming said after the meeting
<br />that he is fairly confident the city
<br />council would designate his clients'
<br />land M -1, and emphasized that in
<br />nearly three decades of business in
<br />Alamance he had never seen a
<br />residential zone designation at the
