Tax Map D-002-005; Trinity Township; he re-zoned from Residential-Suburban
to Conditional Use - Light Industrial. It was the desire of the applicant
to expand an existing automotive Junk Yard established in 1978 prior to
zoning restrictions to include the total 20 acre tract.
Several residents of the area attended the Planning Board meeting to express
their opposition to the expanding automotive junk yard. A petition was
presented to the Board that was signed by approximately 100 people in the
area opposed to the junk yard expansion. The principle reason for opposition
was that the property owners were burning tires in conflict to state law and
that the junk yard contributed to rats, snakes, vermin, and other health
problems in the area.
Charlie Casper, Attorney At Law, representing the D. A. Dowdy estate totaling
approximately 80 acres adjoining the property expressed the intention of the
owners to not oppose industrial development in this area. However, his clients
would object to a commercial use, such as a junk yard with tire burnings that
would adversely effect the use of their pronerty.
Kenneth Howard, Howard Real Estate, High Point, North Carolina, and represented
by Clark Bell, Attorney At Law, advised that hewas willing to follow any special
conditions that would allow his use of the property as an automotive junk yard
and would be compatible with existing industrial and residential land uses.
