WATER: Adjudicated spring SEWER: Two existing septic systems PROPOSED ROADS: ADJACENT ZONING: Access to the site is the 1-70 frontage road and an existing access to the property. The applicant has also secured a State Highway permit to establish a new access to the frontage road which would serve the shop area. A :- North: A/R/RD (North of 1-70) South: A/R/RD (South of the river) East: A/R/RD West: A/I RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The proposed site is within the New Castle Urban Area of Influence DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL: The applicant's proposal is to bring his pre-existing non -conforming uses into compliance with the regulations, and to expand one of those uses. At present, the applicant has a fabrication shop, a stick -built residence, and a mobile home on the 3.59 acre tract. Recently, the applicant expanded the welding ship, erecting a 30' x 60' metal addition, more than doubling the size of the existing shop. The applicant also wishes to relocate the present mobile home site to a location approximately 100 feet north of where the mobile home now sits. The applicant proposes to rent the mobile home to an elderly couple, who will look after the place when the Holder's are away. All sewer, water and electrical hook-ups are in place. As mentioned previously, the applicant has an adjudicated spring which serves the property and there are two existing septic systems in place to serve the residential units. The applicant indicates that there is some glare, noise and smoke associated with the fabrication operations. However, it appears that most of this is contained within the shop buildings.

The property is located across the river from property which I own inSection4. It is my opinion that the proposed use of the land is consistent with present and proposed land uses in the area. Mr. and Mrs. Holder have operated their business on the land for many years and should be, in my view, permitted to improve their facilities to accomodate their busi- ness needs. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed change. Ver/ truly yours Gene R. Hilton
