Hal Johnson, Planning and Development Director, advised the Board that the cities (excluding Asheboro) in the county have requested the County building inspectors to inspect for• the State Building Code inside the municipalities. Such a centralized program would mean opening a full-iime inspections office in Archdale, staffed by a full-time clerical person and two inspectors.

Hal Johnson, Planning and Development Director, presented the requests. The first was from High Point Elastic, Deaton Rd. (SR 1568), Trinity township, requesting that approximately 2.05 acres be rezoned from Residential Agricultural to Light Industrial Conditional Use for the purpose of adding to an existing industrial building. The Planning Board recommended unanimously that the request be approved. Richard Kidd, Rt. 2, Box 21B, Trinity, manager of High Point Elastic, stated that the company plans to sow grass, remove the trailer which has housed the overflow, put a fence up, and reposition the dumpster to the back of the building if this request is approved.

Commissioners Minutes June 2, 1986 Page 2 The second request was from Donald and Edna Doss, Rt. 2, Trinity, for the corner of the intersection of Blacksnake Road (SR 1556) and Hopewell Church Road (SR1558), Trinity Township, to be rezoned from Residential Suburban to Highway Commercial -Conditional Use for the purpose of constructing a truck repair shop. The Planning Board recommended unanimously that the request be denied because it felt that this particular area should remain Residential and that industrial use would be an encroachment on the area. Donald Doss, owner, presented plans for his shop and stated that there are other commei al places nearby, including a furniture plant across the intersection. He said he could not understand the Planning Board's reasoning. He said he had talked to his neighbors and that they had voiced no oppo- sition. Donald Ramsey, owner of the furniture plant across the intersection, said he thought Mr. Doss's property would be an ideal location for his shop. area. Guilford Townsend, neighbor, said he thought the shop would be an asset to the Speaking in opposition was Brown Cumby, Route 2, Box 492, Trinity. Mr. Cumby said he owns property backing up to the Doss property and that a truck repair shop would not increase the value of his property. He said Hopewell Church Road is 17' ide, too narrow for safely meeting schoolbuses or big trucks. Ronald Holister, neighbor, spoke against the request. He said the road is too narrow for bus and truck traffic and that are already too many residences there for industry to be considered. Chairman Frye indicated that he had received numerous calls from Mr. Doss's neighbors over the weekend voicing strong opposition to the rezoning request. Hearing no other comments, Chairman Frye declared the public hearing closed. On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board approved the rezoning request of High Point Elastic. On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board denied the rezoning request of Donald Doss. Neil Allen, Director of Emergency Services, informed the Board that he has been unable to get specific information from Bill Brown and his associates concerning their proposal on a new ambulance base for Ramseur. Mr. Allen stated that, based on a preliminary sketch by architect Larry Austin, Chriscoe Aluminum had estimated the cost for a new base to be $71,783. The Board instructed Mr. Allen to come back to the July meeting with the following information: Would the County be required to conform to a particular building style? Who would be responsible for the upkeep of the septic tank? Mr. Allen explained that the County ambulance housed at Guil-Rand Fire Depart- ment in Archdale has until July 15 to be out. The County's Maintenance Department personnel plan to build an ambulance bay onto the existing Archdale Building and to convert some interior space for their housing. They will also divide the existing conference room in that building to house a County inspections office and an Archdale Police evidence room. The cost of renovations will be $18,000, which will be paid from the current budget.
