Commissioner Boone inquired if it would be in order to place
conditional uses on the property. He deferred to the county
attorney for advice on what conditional uses to place on the
property.
Mr. Pope advised the board they had the authority to place
conditional uses on the zoning.
Chairman Haire opened the floor to the public at this time.
Alan Carpenter, representing Mr. Runge spoke on behalf of his
clients, Ernest and Kathleen Runge. Mr. Runge had a poster with
photographs of the surrounding properties around the area requested
for rezoning. He showed these photographs to the board members.
He also had a tax map showing the uses of the surrounding
properties.
Mr. Carpenter said the property is within the
commercial/ industrial node. The planning board voted to rezone.
The property is most suitable for commercial purposes. Mr. Runge
has a plan which includes a waste treatment plant that must be
approved by the state. Mr. Runge would like to avoid any
conditional uses if possible.
Mr. Runge spoke regarding the prospects he has for business
that wish to locate on the property. He requested that the board
not place a conditional use on the property.
Mr. Boone inquired about a buffer near the residential area.
He discussed a 50' buffer. Mr. Runge said he would give a 50'
buffer on the side near the residential area. He said the design
he has is not a final design, but he would want to be able to
change the buffer just as soon as the Southers and Waughs sell
their properties for commercial property.
Commissioner Stewart inquired what was Mr. Runge's objection
to having a conditional use for a shopping center only. Mr. Runge
said he is looking for people, but he may not be able to get all
these stores he hopes to get, so he does not want to be restricted.

Neighborhood Business instead of Highway Business. Mr. Runge was
not in favor of this change.
