M M Gl ff 7 The latest NCDOT traffic count on US 70 is a 1988 count. This indicated 8,000 vehicles per day just west of Mount Herman Church Road (SR 1713). A general light industry on two acres of land could create approximately 104 trips per day. The applicant has submitted a minor subdivision for the proposed lot with a request for a private road along the south side of the property. The private road justification has been reviewed by the Planning Staff and the minor subdivision has been approved with a private road. The proposal was heard at the August 30, 1990 public hearing. Willie Ward and Dorothy Bane spoke in favor of the rezoning and there were no comments against. Kirk indicated that Commissioner Willhoit had requested information concerning the difference between a pathological incinerator and a crematorium. The Orange County Zoning Ordinance does not have a definition for either of these. Wally Sanford of the Division of Environmental Management, Air Quality Section was contacted. According to Mr. Sanford, a pathological incinerator handles body parts and animals. A crematorium handles whole cadavers. The two are treated the same from the standpoint of the issuing of permits. , The Planning Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning from Rural-Residential (R -1) to Light Industrial (I -1). Jacobs asked how the Staff interpreted having a private road in a Transition Area. Kirk responded that the ordinance refers to the subdivision road being part of a development in the Transition Area. This private road was for a one -lot minor subdivision. If further, development occurs, the road could then be upgraded to public standards. MOTION: Best moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Reid. VOTE: Unanimous.
