138 821 WELL COUNTRY FURNITURE This is the property of Alexander S. Gregg Jr., it is located on SR 1005, old Greensboro Highway. The lot area is .88 acres. There is an existing struc- ture on the property which is used as a furniture assembly facility. The present zoning is Residmatial-1. The property does lie in a designated water supply water- shed, University Lake. It is difficult to piece together the exact chain of events that occured with this piece of property, but I will explain what I have been able to piece together. A building was constructed on the site in 1965, it was initially used as a Country Store. The lot was a part of a larger tract of land most of which lay in Bingham Township. The property was taxed in Bingham. It was divided from the larger tract in 1964 but did not show up on the tax map in 1967, as a spearate lot when Chapel Hill Township was zoned, initially, An existing commer- cial use up the road in the south side of 1005 was zoned Rural Commercial. I feel the existing store on this property was not zoned at this time because the larger tract of land was mostly in Bingham Township. For tax purposes this lot was transferred from Bingham to Chapel Hill Town- ship in 1972. The furniture assembly plant began operation in the mid 70s.. When zoning was extended to Bingham Township in 1981 it did not apply to this lot because it was clearly in Chapel Hill Township. The owner Mr. Gregg brought the matter to the Planning Departments attention in late 1981. After researching the problem the Planning Staff feels that there has been an over- sight concerning the non-residential use of this property. The proposed re- zoning to EC-5 appears to be an appropriate measure.
