I live on Arthur Minnis Road, which becomes <br /> Bradshaw Quarry Road, approximately one mile east of the <br /> intersection in question. <br /> Although the materials you sent me did not include a list of <br /> permitted activities within a Rural Neighborhood Activity Node, it <br /> is my understanding that Bobby Kirk, Sr. and Bobby Kirk, Jr. would <br /> like to build a "country store" at this intersection, and that the <br /> proposed redesignation is the first step in obtaining approval for <br /> such an enterprise. <br /> With all due respect to a neighbor' s desire to use his <br /> property, I am very concerned about the potential impact of this <br /> proposed change. For example, if the "country store" is actually <br /> a convenience store of the type commonly seen, I am afraid its <br /> appearance may be unappealing. If a gas station is contemplated <br /> and permitted, i have even stronger objections based on potential <br /> problems with underground storage tanks and run-off, not to mention <br /> increased traffic . In addition, I already see enough beer cans and <br /> trash thrown out along Arthur Minnis Road to be apprehensive about <br /> a new source of litter just up the road. <br /> Because I do not have any information either as to the exact <br /> nature of the commercial enterprise contemplated, or as to the <br /> activities permitted under the proposed amendment, it is difficult <br /> to voice a specific objection. However, I believe that any <br />
