have any axes to grind with the Wiggins family -- its just that
the community does not want zoning for businesses in this area

matter delayed.
Wavne orbison (Proponentl: Asked difference in Wiggins
business and the Carrigan Farms business. Chairman Haire said
she understood his point; however, Carrigan Farms was not the
matter being discussed at the meeting.
Chairman Haire adjourned the public hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Boone to table this matter until
January 16, 1996. He mentioned that both sides had presented
valid points. He praised the Wiggins family for their growing
business but mentioned he understood the community's concern,
i.e., if the area is rezoned basically any type of commercial
business could be placed on the six acres. In the future,
someone else could own the land. Mr. Boone said he desired to
see the kart business expand, but there should be a guarantee
that this would not bring in anything else.
