.307 o a. limiting the size of the sign to 10 square feet as stated in the Cabarrus County Zoning Ordinance for a rural home occupation. Hours of operation will be a contributing factor to impacts on the adjoining properties. This is addressed through: a. limiting the hours of business operation to regular business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 or 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Where basic vehicle maintenance may be conducted on site, the business operation shall be limited to primarily a dispatch facility. Vehicle maintenance is restricted to: a. oil and tire changes In order to reduce any environmental impacts on the site and adjacent properties, proper- disposal of waste material is required. This is done by: a. requiring owner to contract with disposal company to dispose properly of oil, tires and other waste. Where it was stated in the public hearing as well as provided as part of the rezoning petition, the number of trucks should be limited to reduce the amount of traffic to and from the site and limit the number of vehicles on site at any given time. This will be done by limiting the maximum number of trucks permitted on the site to 15. Commissioner Fennel expressed reservations concerning Items 4(b) and Item 6 while reading the list of conditions. However, upon completing the list, he questioned the acceptability of the proposed conditions as presented. Commissioner Casper commented that Mr. Conner was shaking his head in the affirmative in regards to the conditions as read. To clarify her motion, she stated that it was her intent that all the conditions read by Commissioner Fennel be included as a part of her motion. Commissioner Olio-Mills indicated that this was not the intent of his second. Therefore, Commissioner Casper's motion to approve Petition 94-07 with the conditions as presented died for lack of a second. Commissioner Fennel made a motion to approve Petition 94-07 by Max Lee Conner subject to the conditions as set forth above, with the exception of Item 4(b), construction of a berm, and Item 6, hours of operation. He included the following findings of fact as a part of the motion. The Commissioners ascertain that the Midland Area Plan, although not incorrect in its presentation, is not complete and lacks necessary detail in that it did not recognize the existing businesses in the old Cabarrus community. Therefore, we find that support of this rezoning would not be in disharmony with the Midland Area Plan. In supporting this rezoning, trucks will be prevented from traveling along Cabarrus Station Road (SR 1121) and will be kept from crossing State Bridge No. 143 over the Muddy Creek as well as an unsafe railroad crossing on SR 1121. Safe movement could be made through travel along Bethel Avenue Extension and Wallace Road keeping truck traffic well away from the primary residential areas on Cabarrus Station Road. The operations manager has expressed the business will be a dispatch office with no loading or unloading conducted on the premises. Therefore, approval of this petition will not significantly increase the intensity of the use on this or adjoining properties. Although discontinued, there was a prior commercial use on this site and the proposed use would be adjacent to existing commercial uses. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Olio-Mills. Chairman Barnhart then opened the floor for comments from the Board members. Commissioner Niblock stated in his opinion the prior commercial use of this property was not in compliance with zoning laws in effect at that time and that the other commercial businesses in the vicinity are not similar to the business
