Mr. Kirk said the request was to rezone .,74 acres which was the rear portion of two lots which fiuut on Highway 54 west. He said the fronts of the lots are in Carrboro's zoning jurisdiction and are zoned M-1. The Planning Staff recommends approval because 1)the watershed would not be affected; 2) most of it is already zoned m-1 by Carrboro; and 3) Cleora Sterling is a pre-existing use. There was no one who wished to speak either in favor or opposed to the rezoning. Commissioner Willhoit asked which fire district the property was in, Commissioner Willhoit questioned whether it was in South Orange Fire District. He said this question should be cleared up before it was zoned Light Industrial. Commissioner Willhoit also asked about chemicals and their disposal. Mr. Sam Maffei, representing the Corporation, said there was no chemical waste because no chemicals are used; the company does not do refinishing in its cabinetry work.
