went through the special exception procedure of going to the Plan Commission, <br />a 9 member board, and their duty to make a finding as to whether the use would <br />adversely affect the Master Plan. In this particular instance he advised that <br />the vote was 8 to 0 in favor of the operation with 1 member not being present. <br />Exhibit "8" was then presented which was the letter from the Mooresville Plan <br />Commission to the Board of Zoning Appeals showing their findings. Exhibit "4" <br />was then presented which consisted of pictures lettered A through D showing <br />another sand and gravel operation on 267 and the development areas around it. <br />Exhibit "5" showed a similar sand and gravel operation and a subdivision development <br />after the operation had been mined with similar homes to the subdivision adjoining <br />the east of the property in question.

That under item 2 the area was next to an <br /> industrial area on one side and buffered by the other area making it compatible <br /> and not injurious to the adjoining areas.
