Robert E. Rhine, adjoing property owner, stated that he and 213 his two sisters ( also adjoining property owners) were the major opposition for the original rezoning request of Chandler Concrete. He stated that they no longer oppose the request and are confident that, upon approval , Mr. Chandler will reforest the area as promised. Planning Board member Pilkey asked if it is Mr. Rhine' s understanding that the land will not be reforested unless the rezoning I s approved. Mr. Rhine indicated that he felt if the rezoning is not approved, the land will not be used nor reforested. Pilkey asked if Mr. Rhine agreed with the appraiser + s statement. He responded that he really was not qualified to agree or disagree with that opinion, he had faith that Mr. Chandler would replant trees as proposed. Moreland Claytor, property owner on US Highway 70A across from the old Hines Liner Company, indicated that lack of water from the creek on her property for her cattle was her concern. She indicated that there was a significant amount of concrete in the stream which prevented the flow of water to her property. Commissioner Halkiotis asked where the concrete was coming from. Ms. .Claytor responded that concrete had been poured down from a bank and covered the stream. Mr. Chandler stated that a firm had been contracted to begin the replanting of trees as soon as the rezoning is approved. In response to Ms. Claytor, he indicated that the concrete she referred to is on private property across from the old livestock market owned by a marina. He continued that the owner had allowed the washing on that property approximately two years ago. He stated that no further washing of trucks would be conducted anywhere other than the property owned by Chandler Concrete. He also noted that the reclamation ponds have been cleaned out and the concrete removed. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell , seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis, that the public hearing be closed and the Chandler Concrete rezoning request be referred to the Planning Board for recommendation to the Board of Commissioners on January 4, 1988. VOTE: Unanimous.
