<br />
<br /> Mr. Edward H. Sellers, Jr., and Mrs. Edward H. Sellers, Sr., spoke
<br />in favor of the rezoning request, stating the family planned to locate a
<br />used car dealership on the property. Mr. Sellers explained he was in the
<br />process of filling in the site with the building to be located at the
<br />front of the lot on solid ground and ccars to be stored on the rear filled
<br />area. A letter was noted from Mr. F. E. Isenhour, Zoning Administrator,
<br />outlining the regulations for the use of a land fill area.
<br /> Mr. Dixie Upright questioned the plans for the fill in of the area
<br />near the creek located on the property. No one spoke against the rezoning
<br />request.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Barnhardt, seconded by Commissioner Nash
<br />and unanimously carried, the Board approved Petition 84-06 as recommended
<br />by the Planning Board rezoning Map/PIN 5613(06)-18-2727 from RMF-6 to C-2.

<br />
<br /> Mr. Joe Weddington, President of Orchard Electronics, Inc., requested
<br />approval of the rezoning petition and presented background information
<br />on the company and plans for future operation in the county. Mr. Phillip

<br />property included Mr. Robert Shivadecker, Mr. John Riggs, III, Mr. Ed Stever,
<br />Mrs. McElroy, Mr. Wayne McBryde, and Mrs. Susan Riggs McBryde. They
<br />stated the area should remain residential and expressed concerns relating
<br />to the amount of noise, increased traffic, littering of highway, safety
<br />of children attending Odell School, pollution of streams, possibility of
<br />chemical explosions, and the future growth rate of the industry.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Barnhardt, seconded by Commissioner Nash
<br />with Commissioners Barnhardt, Nash, and Milloway voting for and Commissioner
<br />Payne and Chairman Lentz voting against, the Board approved the rezoning
