The Randolph County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on May 5, 1986 at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom B, County Courthouse, Asheboro, NC. Commissioners present were Darrell Frye, Floyd Langley, Kenyon Davidson, Richard Petty and Clinton Comer. Invocation was given by Rev. Arnold Luther of Central Wesleyan Church of Asheboro. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Petty, the minutes of the April 3 and April 7 meetings were approved. Addie Luther of Eastside Improvement Association came before the Board to ask them to reconsider their April 7 decision not to participate in the funding of Eastsides's preschool day care project. No action was taken on this matter for lack of a motion. The revised draft of the mobile home park ordinance was discussed, including lot sizes, road standards, semi-annual inspections of parks and application fees. Walker Moffitt, President of Randolph County Mobile Home Park Owners Associ- ation, spoke against the following requirements of the proposed ordinance: Fees charged for semi-annual inspections of parks, animal control, 20,000 square -foot minimum for lots with individual septic tanks, 45 -foot right-of-way for park roads, 25 -foot setbacks for trailers. Lewis Cheek, park owner, spoke against inspection fees, number of mobile homes constituting a park, requirements for selling a park, underskirting, lot size. Connie Redding, Chairman of the Randolph County Board of Elections, told Commissioners that it would cost the County about $25,000 to hold elections for county and state officials in odd -numbered years. On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board by resolution opposed the proposed state constitutional amendment on the May 5, 1986 ballot which would allow election of county and state officials in odd -numbered years. The Board made the following changes in the proposed mobile home park ordinance: On motion of Comer, seconded by Langley, the Board removed the requirement for underskirting mobile homes in existing or new parks. On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board removed the requirement for park owners to pay an inspection fee for semi-annual inspections, but left the statement, "Inspections shall be performed a minimum of twice a year by the Randolph County Health Department." On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the words "at the time of sale" were struck from Section 3A.1 and Section 6C. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, 1120,000" was changed to "15,000" in Section 4A.2b. On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board changed the setback require- ment from 25 feet to 20 feet, allowed County enforcement personnel to verify that roads are built to state standards rather than requiring an engineer to certify it, and changed the wording in Section 4D.1 to reflect the wording submitted by N.C. Department of Transportation District Engineer, Lex Kelly.

On motion of Comer, seconded by Petty, the Board adjourned at 4:00 p.m. for a scheduled rezoning public hearing. Planning Director Hal Johnson informed the Board that Paul Thomas,Trinity, was requesting that his residential lot located at 107 Meadowbrook Drive (SR 1786), Zoning Map 1-2, Trinity Township, be rezoned from Residential -Suburban to Conditional Use Commercial. It is the desire of the appli- cant to construct and operate a 28' x 14' beauty shop next to his residence. The Planning Board reviewed this request on April 16, 1986 and recommended approval with the conditions that no lighted sign be used and that the building only be used for a beauty shop and not converted to other commercial use. Chairman Frye gave opportunity for anyone opposed to the request to speak. Hearing none, he declared the hearing closed. On motion of Petty, seconded by Langley, the Board approved the rezoning request of Paul Thomas, with the conditions placed on it by the Planning Board. Emily Redding, Chairman of the City of Asheboro Board of Education, presented a request that the City Schools be allowed to transfer temporarily up to $310,000 to their Capital Outlay budget from their Current Expense budget during this fiscal year and put it back in the next fiscal year. She also asked that the County send them a letter of intent stating that the County will fund the $310,000 in the 86-87 City Schools budget. This letter is needed so that bids can awarded for two projects before the end of school. $200,000 is needed for roof repair at Lindley Park School; $110,000 is needed for renovations (lowering ceilings, reworking wiring and dividing a room) at Balfour School. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board approved the transfer of money and the sending of a letter of intent as outlined above. County Manager Frank Willis presented a request from the County Schools that the County send them a letter of intent stating that the County will fund $50,000 to the County Schools in the 86-87 budget for expansion of the cafeteria at Randleman High School. Since the work will take most of the summer, they need to start before the new fiscal year begins. On motion of Petty, seconded by Langley, the Board approved the sending of a letter of intent to the County Schools. Planning Director Hal Johnson presented an updated Transportation Development Plan, which details a transportation plan for the county's handicapped and elderly through the Randolph County Sheltered Workshop, Mental Health Center and Senior Adults Association. The Plan names the Shelterd Workshop as its lead agency for the purpose of applying for state and federal grants and for coordinating the transportation program for Randolph County.

Where any provision of this document imposes rules different from those imposed by any other Federal, State, or local regulation, it is directed by the Board of Commissioners that whichever regulation is more restrictive or imposes higher standards shall control. 1.5 Conflict with Private Deed Restrictions: This Ordinance does not abrogate any private easements or restrictions on the land. Where the private Deed Restrictions impose more restrictive standards than this document, then the private Deed Restrictions shall control. 1.6 Non -Conforming Mobile Home Parks: Mobile home parks in existance prior to Ordinance, in which parks lot size and road ments of this Ordinance, shall be allowed to all other requirements of this Ordinance, to home parks,are in effect. -1- the effective date of this standards do not meet the require - continue in operation. However, include expansions of mobile 1.7 Variances: Where the Randolph County Planning Board finds that extra -ordinary hardships or practical difficulties may result from strict compliance with these regulations, and the purposes of this Mobile Home Park Ordinance may be served to a greater extent by an alternative proposal, it may approve variances to this Ordinance so that the public interest is secured. It is specifically noted that the Planning Board will not approve variances unless it shall make findings based upon evidence presented to the Planning Board in each specific case that: A. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public safety, health, or welfare or injurious to other property. B. No variance may be granted by the Planning Board that is less stringent than other Federal, State, or local regulations. 1.8 Prohibited Acts, Enforcement and Penalties: A. No person shall construct or alter a mobile home park in Randolph County unless the plans and specifications for such work have been approved by issuance of a Special Use Permit by the Randolph County Planning Board or upon appeal by the Randolph County Board of Commissioners.

It is the expressed intent of the County Commissioners that this Ordinance will not allow the establishment of a mobile home park in Randolph County Zoning Districts where their establishment is either prohibited or subject to Special Use Permit review by the County Planning Board. In zoned areas of Randolph County the Planning Board is specifically directed to review mobile home park development as it relates to the spirit and intent of the estab- lished zoning district and the overall Randolph County Land Development Plan. However, in zoned districts where the Planning Board may issue a Special Use Permit, the regulations of this Ordinance are adopted as minimum requirements. B. In those areas of Randolph County not subject to Zoning District regulations, the establishment of a mobile home park is allowed subject to the standards and review requirements of this Ordinance. Specific reference is made to the need to establish through evi- dence presented at hearing that the public welfare, safety, and health may be endangered through the establishment of a mobile home park development in an area not zoned by Randolph County. After findings of fact, the Planning Board may deny issuance of the Special Use Permit. SECTION II.
