Randolph County Board of Cannissioners
January 6, 1986
The Randolph County Board of Commissioners met in regular session at 2:00 p.m.
on January 6, 1986 in Courtroom B, County Courthouse, Asheboro, NC. Commissioners
Frye (Chairman), Langley, Davidson, Comer and Petty were present. Invocation was
given by Rev. David Roudabush of Hopewell Friends Meeting.
On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously approved the
minutes of the December 2, 1985 meeting.
On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously elected Darrell
Frye as chairman for 1986.
On motion of Comer, seconded by Davidson, the Board unanimously elected Floyd
Langley as vice-chairman for 1986.
On motion of Davidson, seocnded by Langley, the Board unanimously appointed Ed
Gavin as county attorney for 1986.
On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously appointed Alice
Dawson as clerk to the board for 1986.
On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously appointed
Darrell Frye as PTCO(" delegate for 1986.
On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously appointed Floyd

On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously appointed Kenyon
Davidson to the Social Services Board for 1986.
On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board unanimously appointed

Don Hancock, Chairman of the Randolph County Planning Board, presented to the
Commissioners recommendations from the Planning Board regarding reallocation of
state water and sewer funds from the County to the municipalities. These recom-
mendations are as follow: Archdale, $670,580; Randleman, $98,500; Liberty, $145,000;
Franklinville, $50,000; Asheboro, $365,000; Ramseur, $0. Ramseur's proposed project
included the request of most of the County's grant funds plus substantial amounts of
county tax money; therefore, the Planning Board could not make a recommendation on
this request.
Evan Minier, consulting engineer for Ramseur, spoke to clarify Ramseur's request
and advised the Board that one alternative to Ramseur's proposed project would not
require any county tax money.
On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board unanimously voted to
postpone a decision on the allocation of the water and sewer funds until their
February 3 meeting.
On motion of Comer, seconded by Petty, the Board adjourned to a public hearing
at 2:30 p.m. for the purpose of hearing comments on the proposed rate increase by
Cablevision of Archdale. Carolyn Laws, Director of Operations, explained that the
company is requesting a $.75 increase (from $7.50 to $8.25) in the basic monthly
service charge, effective March 1, 1986. All subscribers were notified in writing
of the proposed rate increase on December 4, 1985.

Speaking in opposition to the proposal by Cablevision of Archdale was Don Hancock,
332 Wynnwood, Trinity. He stated that it took him 18 months to get the service when he
lived in Archdale. His son currently lives in Archdale but is unable to get Cable-
vision. Mr. Hancock said he thought the service should be better before any rate
increase is approved.
Carolyn Laws explained that when the system was bought, it had to be completely
rebuilt. It could not be expanded as it was. Therefore, some residents have had to
wait a long time to get the service. The current rebuild should be completed in 1986.
Hearing no further comment, Chairman Frye declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Langley, seconded by Petty, the Board unanimously approved Cablevision
of Archdale's request to change the basic cable prices effective March 1, 1986 from $7.50
to $8.25 per month and the rates on first premium service will increase from $9.95 to
$10.95 per month. Second and third premium services will remain at $6.95.
On motion of Davidson, seconded by Langley, the Board adjourned for a public
hearing at 3:00 p.m. on industrial revenue bonds for Superior Components. Bill Ivey,
attorney for the Industrial Bond Authority, stated that the Authority has approved an
inducement resolution for Superior Components to locate in Liberty. Bob Quick, attorney
for Superior Components, and Peter Van Campen, Vice -President for Superior Components,
answered questions regarding the company. Proceedings attached by reference.
Hearing no further comments for or against, Chairman Frye closed the public hearing.
On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously approved in principle
$1,000,000 in industrial revenue bonds for Superior Components, Inc.
Attorney Bill Ivey, on behalf of the Northwest Randolph Property Owners Association,
presented to the Board a petition with 305 signatures of property owners concerned over
land use and development and the fact that the County has little say-so in how land is
used. Mr. Ivey explained that this group would like to see more orderly growth and
that they were petitioning the Commissioners to study land growth in the Tabernacle
area. They are particularly concerned with the areas adjacent to Davidson County and
Guilford County, who have ordinances regulating mobile home parks and land use. Mr.
Ivey related details of a mobile home park recently approved by the state. It will be
dumping sewage into the Little Uwharrie River 2 miles above the Asheboro reservoir.
Yet no governing body in Randolph County had any knowledge or authority concerning this
application. People must get permits for buildings, septic tanks, etc. Mobile home
park developers should do the same.
Linda Swofford, Rt. 3, Box 676, Thomasville, spokeswoman for the group, read a
prepared statement to the Commissioners concerning a state permit for a package sewage
system to service a mobile home park on the banks of the Little Uwharrie. Ms. Swofford
related problems caused by this mobile home park and by others in the future. She
asked that a moratorium be placed on mobile home park development until an ordinance
can be adopted that governs such development. She also asked for the adoption of a
land use ordinance so that citizens in the future may have a voice in what will be
happening in their communities.
Nancy Younts, Rt. 3, Box 672, Thomasville, stated that she had contacted Paul
Wilms, Director of N.C. Division of Environmental Management, concerning a review of
the permit and a re -opening of the public hearing. She has been told by the state
that there will be odor problems with this sewage system.
Lu Hamlin of Farmer stated that her community is trying to keep the Uwharrie
from becoming the dumping grounds of mobile home parks.
Tom McIntosh, Asheboro City Manager, stated that Asheboro is concerned with the
dumping into the Little Uwharrie and with what will happen if the system malfunctions.
He said Asheboro will do whatever they can to help the County develop a land use plan.
Dennis Farlowe, Hoover Hill Road, cited an example of a mobile home park dumping
into Little Caraway. He said that as a principal for many years, he has seen what
mobile home parks do to a community.

Jenny Hilliard, Rt. 3, Box 675, Thomasville, stated that she moved to this
community 10 years ago because it was so beautiful. In the last year, 15 trailers
have come into the neighborhood. Now 100 trailers will be polluting and dumping.
Barney Pearce, Rt. 1, Trinity, stated that traffic would become a problem with
this mobile home park because it has only one outlet down a small, curvy road.
Andrew Smith, Rt. 1, Trinity, said there would be an impact on the county tax
assessment because land surrounding the park would be devalued.
Pam Thayer, Fuller Mill Road, mentioned that the bridge on that road is very
old and in bad repair. She questioned the ability of 14 state officials keeping up
with 3,000 package sewage systems, many of which have failures. She said she is
concerned about contaminated wells and wildlife in the area.
Glenn Connor, Rt. 1, Trinity, stated that he had in the past installed this type
sewer system. They are open on top and in hot, humid weather, they can't contain the
bacteria.
Allen Holt, Asheboro, stated that he owns property in this area and has known
the bridge to flood at times.
Attorney Bill Ivey said citizens should have a right and say-so in a high-density
area for a mobile home park. He suggested the Commissioners write a letter to Raleigh
about Asheboro's reservoir being so close to the dumping of sewage. He went to Raleigh
last week and determined that the state did not realize the reservior is right below
the park site. He also suggested the Commissioners consider land use for regulating
mobile home parks, especially for Tabernacle, near Davidson and Guilford.
Chairman Frye stated that the Board would set a meeting in the immediate future
to address this issue in conjunction with the Planning Board.
Hal Johnson stated that the 1977 land use plan for Randolph includes the
Tabernacle area.
On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board adjourned to a scheduled
public hearing on a re -zoning matter at 4:00 p.m.
Hal Johnson informed the Board that James David Kiser, 406 Englewood Drive, High
Point, had requested that approximately 3 acres on West Mendenhall Road (SR 1610) be
rezoned from residential -agricultural to highway commercial -conditional use. Mr.
Kiser desires to use a two -bay garage as a paint and automotive body repair shop. The
Planning Board unanimously recommended that this request be approved with the following
conditions: The current garage will not be expanded; no vehicles or parts will be
stored outside the building; no lighted sign on the property.
Mr. Kiser explained that he restores custom cars and will not have many around at
one time. He said he had received no opposition from the neighbors.
On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously approved this request
with the stipulations placed by the Planning Board.
Nancy Brenner, Library Director, and Carolyn Hager, Library staff member, presented
to the Commissioners copies of the recently published Architectural History of Randolph
County.
Patty Sykes, Purchasing Agent, presented information on bids and upset bids
received on some County property acquired through foreclosure in the Liberty Township.
On motion of Comer, seconded by Petty, the Board unanimously accepted the offer of
$632.50 from Oscar Staley to buy the property. Copy of resolution included by reference.
Patty Sykes presented fuel oil bids just received for the coming year. On motion
of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board unanimously accepted the low bid of Huffman
Oil Company of 81� per gallon. Copy of bid list included by reference.
Everett Cooper came before the Board to appeal the denial of a special -use permit
by the Planning Board.
Chairman Frye informed Mr. Cooper the Board would meet January 20 to discuss this
and other issues.

On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously voted to accept
$16,000 from the State for Land Records Management Grant No. 86-39. Copy of
resolution included by reference.
On motion of Petty, seconded by Langley, the Board unanimously approved the
addition of Hillcrest Drive, Harvell Street, and Misty Drive to the State System
of Roads. Resolutions included by reference.
On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board unanimously approved two
budget amendments, which are included by reference.
The Board agreed to meet on January 20 at 7:00 p.m. for a work session to
discuss water and sewer allocations, the Northwest Randolph Property Owners issue,
and the Coopers' issue. No action will be taken at this meeting.
On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board adjourned.

5. ASHEBORO PROJECT: Asheboro water plant expansion and city distribution
system improvements. This would allow expansion of water plant to 12 million
gallons a day. Asheboro project also includes extension of sewer lines and

Funding Justification: Planned expansion of the water plant and distribution
system is essential for city and county growth and development. Expansion
could see county benefiting by water distribution in the Seagrove area.
6. RAMSEUR PROJECT: Construction of a new 1.5 MGD water treatment plant.
Requested funding was $1,500,000. $550,000 from the county's grant allocation
and $950,000 from the county's 12(,' sales tax revenues. $400,000 would go
toward construction of the Ramseur water plant and the remainder would be
allocated for construction of a water transmission system interconnecting
the existing systems of Ramseur and Liberty. Cost to the county of the
transmission project is $1,100,000.
TOTAL PROJECT COST: $1,500,000
$550,000 County Grant Allocation
$950,000 zC Sales Tax County Revenue
Planning Board Recommendation: 0
Funding Justification: The proposed project with interconnecting transmission
system would take majority of county grant funds available plus substantial
amounts of county tax money. Anything less including tax monies, would not
enable the project to be successful. (The Town of Liberty has stated that they
have adequate well water supply at present and will continue to use ground
water as long as possible being the most economical supply.) Ramseur's request
was tied to tax funds and the Planning Board could not recommend allocating tax
monies.
PROJECT CONCLUSION: Final recommendations by Board of County Commissioners
would result in Commissioner resolution allocating Randolph County's proportion
of grant to municipalities within county. At this point it would be the
responsibility of each city to apply to the state with matching funds for
final approval under Senate Bill 2.
