Commissioners make the following FINDING OF FACT:

A. The applicant did not provide substantial, material, and competent evidence that the
proposed development's underground storage tanks and stormwater management
system will not have a negative impact on the surrounding residential area in regards
to potential flooding and groundwater contamination, and therefore is not in
harmony with the area and not in general conformity with the plan of development
for New Hanover County.
B. There are nearby residential structures that are served by well water.
C. The proposed development's 24 -hour continuous operation is not in harmony with
the adjacent residential area.
6. Therefore, because the County Commissioners conclude that all of the general and specific
