NA YS: None
Mr. C. Richard Cranwell, Attorney, appeared on behalf of the petitioner.
Mr. Cranwell described the property and location and noted that there would be no
serious traffic problems created by the proposed rezoning of the property.
Questions were then raised concerning a buffer along Route 608. Mr. Claude Carter,
Attorney representing the Bonsack Baptist Church, stated that the main objection
to the proposed rezoning was using Route 608 as the main access. He further
stated that a buffer zone will have little meaning if Route 608 is developed as
planned. Mrs. Shirley Wood, area resident, also spoke in opposition to the
utilization of Route 608 since there were residential houses located along Route
603 and the route is a poor, narrow gravel road which would not serve an
industrial development. Mr. Cranwell stated that the development company would be
willing to donate additional right-of-way along Route 608 so that the road could
be widened to a suitable standard.
