December 18, 1995 <br />Page 2 <br />Second, a concern has been expressed about the recent installation of a <br />septic system on a portion of the tract that is being requested for rezoning, <br />which septic system serves the small furniture store on the .11 acre lot zoned <br />NC -2 at the southwest intersection of NC 54 and White Cross Road. Apparently, <br />although the zoning ordinance does not address the matter, the ordinance may be <br />open to the i nterpretati on that a septi c tank system must be 1 ocated on 1 and that <br />has the same zoning as the use which the system serves. To remove this issue <br />entirely from this rezoning request, Mr. Davis is prepared to delete from this <br />rezoning request a portion of the 4.67 acre tract that is presently used for the <br />septic tank system serving the furniture store. If there is a technical <br />violation with.respect to this septic area, this can easily be cured by a <br />rezoning'that would add the septic area to the adjoining lot that it serves. <br />Thus, this issue should have no bearing on the present rezoning request. <br />In summary, the tract in question clearly is inappropriate for the <br />residential or agricultural uses permissible under the existing zoning, and the <br />AS zoning designation would simply provide the applicants with some additional <br />flexibility in finding a viable use for this property that would be both entirely <br />consistent with the comprehensive plan and the existing uses in this area. <br />Sincerely, <br />MICHAE.Y B.
