RANDOLPH COUNTY
BOARD OF COMMISIONERS
MINUTES
November 3, 1986
The Randolph County Board of Commissioners met in regular session at 2:00 p.m.
on November 3, 1986 in the County Courthouse, Asheboro, NC. Invocation was given
by Rev. Frank Boyd, Youth Minister at First Presbyterian Church of Asheboro. Commis-
sioners Frye, Langley, Davidson, Petty and Comer were present.
On motion of Davidson, seconded by Petty, the minutes of the October 6 and
October 21 meetings were approved.
On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board adjourned to a scheduled
2:00 p.m. public hearing on a rezoning request.
Hal Johnson, Planning Director, stated that Elton McNeill of Route 10,
Asheboro had requested that approximately � acre located on Spoon Chapel Road
(SR 2604), Grant Township, Zoo Zoning District E-2, be rezoned from 2nd Environ-
mental District to Highway Commercial -Conditional Use, for an automotive sales lot.
Mr. Johnson said that the Planning Board had reviewed this request and had
recommended unanimously that it be denied because it was not consistent with land
use patterns in this area.
Mrs. Maxine McNeill, wife of the applicant, Route 10, Box 174, Asheboro, spoke
in support of the request.
No one spoke in opposition to the request. The public hearing was closed.
On motion of Langley, seconded by Comer, the Board voted to approve Mr.
McNeill's request, with the following restrictions: the lot may be used for sales
only; the lot size is restricted to 150' road frontage and 100' in depth; any sign
advertising the business must not exceed 12 square feet and must be unlighted.
Don Heard, County Fire Marshal, explained to the Board that part of the western
portion of the Randleman Rural Fire District can be served more quickly by the
Sophia Fire Department. Both the Randleman Fire Department Chief and the Sophia
Fire Department Chief have approved their respective boards and each board has
made a statement of intent to transfer a portion of the Randleman Rural Fire
District to the Sophia Fire District. Before the boundary lines can be changed,
each fire district must have a fire district commission consisting of three
qualified voters of the area. Mr. Heard asked the Board of Commissioners to make
the following appointments so that these commissions can be established:
Randleman Rural Fire District Commission
J.C. Leonard, V.P., Commonwealth Hosiery; Alderman, City of Randleman
Bruce Moore, Engineer, Hatteras Yacht
Howard E. Wood, retired firefighter
Sophia Fire District Commission
William F. Bowers, U.S. Army, retired
Leonard Staley, Postmaster, U.S. Postal Service, retired
Willis Edwin Beeson, farmer
Mr. Heard said that this change will require a petition signed by two-thirds
of the property owners in the territory involved and that the Commissioners must
set a public hearing on the matter after receiving the petition.
On motion of Davidson, seconded by Petty, the Board approved the appointments
submitted by the Randleman and Sophia Fire Departments, as shown above. These are
two-year appointments.
