Planning Board Chair Jacobs asked what the effect would be to change the proposal from PDI-I-3 to PDI-I-l. Collins responded that all the uses permitted in PD-I-3 are also permitted in PD-I-1. The question is one of impact. In this particular use, no structure is involved, it is all open use of land. An I-1 district would entail slightly more restrictive control. Phil Post, consulting engineer for the Chandler Concrete Company request, reviewed for the Boards the project describing the recycling facility, parking facility and the reforestation to complete the project. He noted that the applicant agreed with the conditions imposed but stated that the only utility used would be for the single phase pump and that has been placed underground. He reviewed the reasons for the project which was to bring it into compliance with the Department of Environmental Management. John Capewell listed his qualifications as a real estate appraiser. He indicated that it is his professional opinion that the rezoning request will not have an adverse effect on surrounding properties. (A copy of Mr. Capewell 's report is an attachment to these minutes) . Tom Chandler, applicant, presented his request to the Boards. (A copy of his statement and permit from DEM are included as attachments to these minutes. ) r Robert E. Rhine, adjoing property owner, stated that he and 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 is 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 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.
