PROBLEM WITS DEBRIS - RALPH YOUNT, CITISENa Mr. Yount was
represented by Mr. Hugh West, local attorney, who spoke at this
time. The problem being experienced is a building that was burned
at the intersection of Old Mountain Road and I-40, on the south
side of the interstate. The Bunch Fabric building burned in April
1985 and the debris remains near the other manufacturing companies
in the area. The hazardous waste has been removed; however, that
is as far as the County can go with its present ordinance.
Mr. Yount described the area in question, which has become a
real eyesore and a bad situation to which the surrounding j'`
companies have to bring their customers. He asked the county
commissioners to assist them in getting something done to clear up
the area.
Commissioner Stewart lives in the area and said the area
described is an eyesore to the community.
Mr. Huggins with Sackner described the situation at his plant
and the mess that is next-door to his business. His customers
visit the plant frequently and he is embarrased by the debris that
is close by his plant.
Mr. West read letters from Gulf States, Orbit Industries, and
Carrie Reels, other close -by plants who are concerned about this
debris.
Mr. West presented and read a draft of an amendment to the
County Code, which he discussed with the board. Mr. Pope said he
spoke with Mr. West about this matter, and, after discussion, said
that he felt fairly comfortable with the amendment proposed.
The board discussed including residential property in this
amendment. Mr. Pope said he would like to consider this matter
further before making a decision. No public hearing is required
for adoption of this amendment; however it must be a unanimous vote
for it to pass on the first reading, Pope said.
