Cji 1 Mr. Hagemam stated that he felt one of the reasons for Autowerks not being zoned EC-5 was the fact that the tract of land upon which it is located lies in Chapel Hill Township as well as Hillsborough Township. He noted that with the possibility of different planning personnel working on the two different townships and the undeveloped portion of the property being in Chapel Hill Township, it was possible that it was assumed the property was all P-1 . He noted that the Duke Power easement was all that was on the portion in Chapel Hill Township. He continued that he felt the incorrect zoning was simply a case of the property being overlooked. In regard to the idea that the property should be non-conforming, Mr. Hageman noted the following: ( 1 ) According to his reading, EC-5 had to be applied to existing commercial properties not in an activity node ; (2) Every existing commercial use along Highway 86 in 1981 except • Autowerks was given a commercial classification; (3) If the intent was to make Autowerks a non-conforming use, why did it not appear on the May 14, 1981 memorandum from the Planning Staff to the Planning Board. Mr. Hageman presented the request that the Planning Board recommend to the Board of Commissioners that they honor Autowerks rezoning request. They believe that this request is consistent with the com- prehensive plan although the area is not identified as an activity node since the plan clearly contemplated EC-5 classifications outside of activity nodes; therefore, they believe that this rezoning would not be in any way a violation of the comprehensive plan. He concluded that he felt the failure to grant the rezoning request for Autowerks would constitute spot zoning. Chutk. Elllet , co-owner of Autowerks, indicated the owner of the property would be willing to sell the 'portion of the property on which Autowerks is located if the rezoning request is approved. He Indicated that the desire is to make improvements to the business noting that the area of buildings was probably 2500 square feet each and he wished to have one building of 6,000 to 7,000 square feet in order to have more than one auto inside under repair at one time. A motion was made by Commissioner Hartwell and seconded by Commissioner Carey to refer this item to the Planning Board for a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners for consideration on October 5, 1987. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. Planner Greg Szymik presented for the receipt of public comments a proposed rezoning request by Chandler Concrete Company. - The property Is located in western Cheeks Township on the south side of US 70 and on the north side of Southern Railway.
