0 H for the location of a welding shop. The Planning Board in its deliberation cited the fact that Mr. Riddle currently operates a welding shop across the road from the proposed location and that moving the shop across the road should not adversely affect the neighborhood. Commissioner Matthews moved to adopt the Planning Board's recommendation to approve the request. Commissioner Paschal seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Hall, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, Stafford, and Wicker Nay: None The chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. Ms. Leisa Powell, County Planner, reviewed with the Board a request from the Environmental Affairs Board to seek funding to study the possible affect the proposed low level radioactive waste site in Chatham County will pose to Lee County's water supply and the potential hazards posed by the transportation of the waste via highways which traverse Lee County. The Environmental Affairs Board recommended that Mr. George Bain, the geologist who is working with Chatham County, investigate the type of studies needed and the estimated cost of these studies. Ms. Powell informed the Board that Chatham County received a $100,000 grant to complete similar studies. Commissioner Matthews moved to adopt the Environmental Affairs Board's recommendations as presented and that the studies emphasize the potential damaging affects the facility will pose on Lee County.

Commissioner Paschal moved to pursue the request. Commissioner Matthews seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Hall, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, Stafford, and Wicker Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously.
