r . <br />MAY 16 1989 <br />BOOK <br />neighborhood where there is going to be lots of cars and lots of <br />traffic. She noted that the neighbors are also concerned about <br />the straight smokestacks with lead coming out of them, and she <br />intended to find out which environmentalist is checking Mr. <br />Kirrie out, because Mr. Kirrie is in a little neighborhood and <br />nobody really keeps an eye on him. <br />Commissioner Eggert felt that was a legitimate concern. <br />Mrs. Hearndon felt the Commission bent the rules and <br />stretched the rules, but she believed that if you give someone an <br />arm, they want to take a leg. She felt that little by little, he <br />will come in next year and want a few more. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt there needs to be a little <br />fairness, because when Mr. Kirrie actually began his operation, <br />we had zero planning in this county. You could go anywhere in <br />this county and do anything, in terms of conducting activities, <br />without any government interference. However, the county <br />started implementing some attempt to try to regulate land use, <br />and that process has occurred. There has always been an attempt <br />by each of the Commissioners over the years to recognize property <br />rights and what people were allowed to do under the old law and <br />allow them to have an ability to continue, but at some point, try <br />to work towards phasing out those activities that are no longer <br />acceptable. Commissioner Scurlock felt that is a very difficult <br />task to balance where you have one guy doing his little thing and <br />doesn't bother anybody, and then people buy Tots around him, and <br />there is an interference on their rights. He really felt the <br />Commission has had a difficult job trying to address these issues <br />and trying to be fair in trying to find a way that Mr. Kirrie can <br />continue to make a living for his family and also provide a way <br />for some transition to take place to have that a residential <br />area, but that is not going to happen overnight. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that when you look at all the <br />history, the Commission is trying to do the fair thing for <br />30 <br />
