A 50 percent break in the buffer is allowed but it is to be 102 otherwise undisturbed. 103 104 Lydia Wegman requested that any images that would help explain the buffer be displayed. Michael Harvey shared an image 105 provided by the applicant. 106 107 Paul Guthrie asked if the interstate adjacent to this property has the standard 300-foot right of way and does the North 108 Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) have control of it.
