SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST #2024-00022028
The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a duly published and notified
quasi-judicial hearing on the request by BETSY LUCK FRAZIER, Trinity,
NC, and their request to obtain a Special Use Permit at 547 Potters Way Rd, Richland Township, Bear Creek Balance Watershed, Tax ID #7674321548, 1.7 acres, RA - Residential Agricultural District. It is the desire of the applicant to obtain a Special Use Permit to specifically allow a

Page 4 of 9 10/8/2024
Cable asked if the driveway is located on Potters Way. Frazier answered yes. She said she plans to reconnect everything as it was previously on the property.
Austin also asked if there is power, water, and septic on the property and if there is a
building located on the property. Frazier answered yes. She said there was an old barn on the property. Frazier told the Board that her father would live with her in the future if necessary.
Hedrick asked if the residence would be a mobile home or a site-built home. Frazier
said it would be a mobile home. She said there was a two-bedroom home on the property previously and she planned to replace it with another two-bedroom mobile home.
Hedrick asked if the underpinning would be masonry. Frazier said the home would
have underpinning, but it would not be masonry.
Morgan explained to Frazier that if the request was approved, there was no guarantee that the parcel could be split in the future, so if it were to be sold, the
second residence would be sold as part of the parcel as well.
Having no additional questions from the Board and no one else signed up to speak regarding the case, Pell closed the public hearing for discussion or a motion.
Cable said people are finding alternate ways to support family and commend them
for wanting to take care of family. He said the Board is starting to see more of these cases every month.
On the motion of Cable, seconded by Beeson, with a vote of 6-0, the Planning Board
voted to approve the request with the motions contained in the Planning Board
packet.

Page 5 of 9 10/8/2024
Pell opened the public hearing.
Mr. Parker said their request is similar to the previous request and said they would
like to help take care of his older mom and allow her to have her own space. He said
they have spoken to some of their neighbors who have no opposition to their request. He provided some affidavits for those neighbors (Exhibit 1).
Austin asked about the approximate location of the proposed residence to the
existing home and Parker said it would be approximately twenty-five feet away due
to mobility issues.
Austin asked if the residence would be a mobile home. Parker said they planned to build a metal building with engineered plans.
Austin asked if the residence would require a new septic system. Parker answered no. He said Environmental Health has said they would allow them to hook on to the existing system.
Morgan explained again that if the request was approved, there was no guarantee
that the parcel could be split in the future, so if it were to be sold, the second residence would be sold as part of the parcel as well. Mr. Parker said understood.
Cable commended the Parkers for taking care of a parent.
Pell asked the Board if they had any additional questions. Having none, Pell closed the public hearing for discussion or a motion.
On the motion of Austin, seconded by Beeson, with a vote of 6-0, the Planning Board
voted to approve the request with the motions contained in the Planning Board
packet.

7777819737, Rural Growth Area, from RA - Residential Agricultural

Page 6 of 9 10/8/2024
plans and pictures. Pell opened the public hearing.
Jeffrey Webster, 4545 Racine Rd, Climax, explained to the Board that his request
was the opposite of the previous cases because he is trying to divide his property for children to have in the future hoping they will take care of him. Pell asked the Board if they had any questions.
Austin asked if the driveway for tract two would go through tract three and Webster answered yes and that it would enter off of Racine Rd and the other lots would have their access from Birds View Rd.
Beeson asked about the right-of-way along the property line.
Austin asked if the mailboxes would be on Racine Rd and Webster answered, "Yes." Beeson asked if the new residence in the back would use the easement and
Webster answered yes and stated that the other lots would probably be vacant for
some time. Pell asked if there were any questions from the Planning Board.
Beeson stated that Webster was just planning for the future.
Pell closed the public hearing. On the motion of Beeson, seconded by Cable, with a vote of 6-0, the Planning Board
voted to approve the request with the motions contained in the Planning Board
packet.
REZONING REQUEST #2024-00022030
The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a duly published and notified legislative hearing on the request by SUSAN RICHARDS, Asheboro, NC, and their request to rezone 1.24 acres out of 5.24 acres at 207 Andrew Hunter Rd, Franklinville Township, Tax ID #7782707346, Primary Growth
Area, from RR - Residential Restricted District and RA - Residential
Agricultural District to HC - Highway Commercial District. It is the desire of the applicant to rezone the property to allow any uses allowed by right in the
HC - Highway Commercial District.
Caddle presented the last rezoning item of the night, the Rezoning Request of Susan Richards, 207 Andrew Hunter Rd, Asheboro, NC, including site plans and pictures.
Page 7 of 9 10/8/2024
Pell opened the public hearing. Susan Richards, 207 Andrew Hunter Rd, 27205, told the Board that she has lived on the property for four years, and she has witnessed the growth in the area. Richards
told the Planning Board that she had made this property a part of the United States
Department of Agriculture farming program and that she had a vision. Richards said that her vision is to be a part of the community and to work within the Rural Growth
Area requirements and that she would be living on the property and another part of her vision was to supplement others in the community.
Richards then talked about buffers on the property and potential uses of the property if the request was approved. Pell asked if there were any questions from the Planning Board.
Cable stated that he felt that Richards had a vision but maybe not a full plan for the property. Beeson asked Richards if she was considering constructing a building on the
property and Morgan said that the question was not relevant since it was a straight
rezoning request. Austin asked about Richards driveway and she pointed to the drive in Exhibit #2.
Austin stated that Richards driveway presents a problem due to drainage and run-off and Richards stated that she has been talking with Ross Lackey about "recreating" the drive and with the North Carolina Department of Transportation about replacing the existing culvert.
Cable stated that, based on the pictures of the site, there is a drainage problem now.
Pell asked if there were any other questions from the Planning Board.
Pell stated that the request was for a straight rezoning and that is all the Board can
consider. Alan Hallman, 198 Andrew Hunter Rd, Franklinville, addressed the Planning Board and stated that he has no problem with the request as long as people do not use his driveway or yard.
Matt Snider, 258 Willow Lake Rd, Franklinville, stated that his property has a four- acre pond and wants to know who is responsible if the pond breaks. Snider stated that the pond and any contamination could cause problems in the area, and he wants to make sure that everything is maintained. Snider stated that if the request is
going to help the area, he is okay.
Page 8 of 9 10/8/2024
Hedrick discussed the site plan with Snider and explained the request and stated that this request should not impact the pond. Richards stated that she had been in contact with North Carolina Stormwater
Reclamation and they are working to address the runoff problems.
Pell asked if there were any other questions from the Planning Board.
Pell closed the public hearing.
Cable said that there were only two people in opposition and after getting their questions answered, they seemed to be okay with the request and that he sees this request is meeting the goals of the Randolph County Growth Management Plan.
Beeson said that he is opposed to straight rezonings as the Planning Board has to
consider the request without much information, but there is not much that Richards can do on a one-acre parcel and the size will cause its own limitations. Pell stated that the drainage issues could also limit the development.
Hedrick stated that he agreed with Beeson and the property is creating its own buffer at the rear and it seems that the concerns are going to be minimized. Cable said that Richards had boxed herself into limited uses.
On the motion of Cable, seconded by Beeson, with a vote of 6-0, the Planning Board
voted to approve the request with the motions contained in the Planning Board
packet.
7. Update from the Planning Director.
Caddle told the Planning Board members that the November 12 meeting will be at the
1909 Historic Courthouse, 145-C Worth St, Asheboro, at 6:00 pm. Caddle also reminded the Planning Board about their work session on October 29, 2024, with lunch being served at 12:30 pm and the meeting starting at 1:00 pm. The
purpose of the work session is to review the proposed commercial amendments to
the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance. The meeting will be 1909 Historic Courthouse, 145-C Worth St, Asheboro. (This meeting was moved to Meeting
Room A, Randolph County Office Building, 725 McDowell Rd, Asheboro, due to the Historic Courthouse being unavailable the day of the meeting).
