The applicant not being present, Mr. Wren continued with the public hearing. Mr. Justin Lucey, adjacent property owner, stated that he is opposed to the request. He suggested that the property is currently non-conforming by zoning and maintenance of the property in regards to the buffer. He suggested that the requested zoning would make it easier to waive the various requirements that they are not currently complying with. He expressed concern with the buffer and suggested that it was not sufficient and suggested that the buffer around the property should be established and maintained. He expressed concern with drainage and suggested that development of the property would further exacerbate the drainage problems. He suggested that currently the lot is being used as a garbage dumping area and parking for nearby businesses. There being no further comments, Mr. Wren closed the public hearing. Mr. Bennett entered at this time (5:08 pm). Ms. Smith moved for denial. Mr. Davis seconded the motion. All in favor. B.
