* Agent: Fred Roberts
* The property is planned to be sold to an entity (Ag-Pro) who requires M-1 zoning to develop a construction/farm equipment sales establishment, which will also require a Special Exception through the Board of Adjustment.
* The property is near service and retail uses that complement those allowed in the M-1 zoning district.
* The property is appropriate for large scale commercial or light industrial uses, having frontage on Pine Avenue/US 441.
* The above-stated factors make the site a viable location for development allowable in the M-1 zoning district.
