Amendment to Centralized Permitting Ordinance
Paxton Arthurs, County Inspections Director, said that several months ago his department decided
to change the cut-off time for calling in requests for same-day inspections from 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
on a trial basis to determine whether this would solve some scheduling problems. The change was not
implemented until January, 2005, but for months in advance notices were posted in the department and
on the County website and the change was personally communicated to individuals and groups
associated with the construction business. The change has gone very smoothly, with no complaints or
problems, and it has helped the Inspections Department tremendously in scheduling of daily work. Mr.
Arthurs requested that this change be made permanent, which requires that the Centralized Permitting
Ordinance Article D. Section 2. must be amended to reflect this change.
On motion of Frye, seconded by Davis, the Board voted unanimously to amend the Centralized
Permitting Ordinance Article D. Section 2. to read as follows:
"Randolph County attempts to conduct all inspections on the same day for requests that
are received in the Central Permit Office by 8:30 a.m. All inspections requested after
8:30 a.m. will be performed no later than 5:00 p.m. the following working day, if
possible. "
Approve Purchase of Communications Equipment With Homeland Security Grant Funds
Allen McNeill, Chief Deputy, reminded the Board that in August 2004, the Commissioners
accepted a Homeland Security grant, which has no matching requirements, in the amount of $260,331
for fiscal year 2004. One of the allowable purpose areas for expenditure of these funds is to
develop/enhance interoperable communications systems. The Homeland Security Committee
recommends that these FY2004 grant funds be spent in this manner. The proposal is to spend $246,600
of the grant funds to enhance and upgrade all County radio systems to include law enforcement, fire
services, and emergency services. Competitive bids were not sought due to the fact that the equipment
needed to upgrade/enhance our radio systems is available on the N.C. State Procurement Contract. The
deadline to expend these funds is currently August 15, 2005.
On motion of Lanier, seconded by Davis, the Board voted unanimously to approve the purchase of
radio upgrades from Amerizon Wireless of Fayetteville, N. C in the amount of $246,600, using the 2004
Homeland Security Grant funds.

acres to allow owners' residence and 2 rental mobile homes as per site plan. Worth D. & Christine D.
Johnson - Property Owners. The Planning Board considered this request at public meeting on January
4, 2005, and recommended unanimously that this request be approved as consistent with the Growth
Management Plan as a Primary Growth Area.
Shane Hinshaw, applicant, spoke in support of his request, saying that he has tried to clean up all

Shane Hinshaw.
2. FERGUSON REALTY & DEVELOPMENT, Staley, North Carolina, is requesting that 55 acres
located on Whites Chapel Road (just east of Ferguson Farms Clubhouse), Columbia Township, be

site -built subdivision, as per site plan, with a minimum house size of 1,500 sq. ft. The Planning Board
considered this request at public meeting on January 4, 2005, and recommended unanimously that this
request be approved as consistent with the Growth Management Plan.
12
Garland Ferguson, 5428 Whites Chapel Rd., Staley, said that the Ferguson Farms Golf Course
has been in business since 1992 and is considered an asset to eastern Randolph County. He said that
the proposed subdivision would make the course more playable and attractive to golfers. The
subdivision will not adversely impact traffic, the school system or infrastructure.
On motion of Kemp, seconded by Davis, the Board voted unanimously to approve the request of
Ferguson Realty & Development.
3. LARRY FERREE, Ramseur, North Carolina, is requesting that 3 acres located at 1142 Mill Creek
Road, Coleridge Township, be rezoned from Residential Restricted to Residential
Agricultural/Conditional Use. Tax 1D# 8701215508. The proposed Conditional Use Zoning District
would specifically allow a singlewide mobile home to be placed to the rear of the existing home as per
submitted site plan. The Planning Board considered this request at public meeting on January 4, 2005,
and recommended unanimously that this request be approved with the condition that the mobile home
be removed if it was no longer used by a family member.
Mrs. Larry Ferree stood in support of the request.
On motion of Kemp, seconded by Frye, the Board voted unanimously to approve the request of
Larry Ferree with the condition recommended by the Planning Board that the mobile home be
removed if it was no longer used by a family member.
4. NEIL, HAMMOND, Asheboro, North Carolina, is requesting that the Conditional Use Permit
issued on 1.01 acres (out of 4.67 acres) located on the corner of Union Church Road/Old NC Hwy 49,
Cedar Grove Township, Zoning District RBO-CU, be amended to include minor auto repair and used
car sales. Tax 1D# 7730518447. The current Conditional Use Permit was issued to allow only a

approved with the condition that the used car display lot consist of no more than 8 vehicles and no

Neil Hammond, applicant, said that he may or may not sell gas at the convenience store because
of the expense and regulation of underground storage tanks. He plans to do oil and tire changes, sell
tires and do inspections.
On motion of Lanier, seconded by Davis, the Board voted unanimously to approve the request of
Neil Hammond.
5. SCHWARZ PROPERTIES, LLC, Asheboro, North Carolina, is requesting that 13.04 acres (out

HC-CU/LI-CU. Tax 1D# 7782909327. The proposed conditional use rezoning would specifically
rezone 1.94 acres for retail sales and services, and 11.10 acres for industrial shops and storage as per
site plan. The Planning Board considered this request at public meeting on January 4, 2005, and
recommended unanimously that this request be approved as consistent with the Growth Management
Plan.
Shane Barker, 454 Newbern Ave., Asheboro, spoke on behalf of J & S Rentals in support of the
request.
13
On motion of Frye, seconded by Kemp, the Board voted unanimously to approve the request of
Schwarz Properties.
6. MCDOWELL LUMBER COMPANY, Asheboro, North Carolina, is requesting that 30 acres (out
of 120.30 acres) located at 2473 Falling Oak Road, Concord Township, be rezoned from Light
Industrial and Residential Agricultural to Heavy Industrial/Conditional Use. Tax ID# 7619762602.
The Conditional Use Zoning District would specifically allow a sawmill operation for lumber and
pallets as per site plan and restrictions on file in the County Planning Department. The Planning Board
first considered this request at public meeting on December 7, 2004 and the request was continued to
January 4, 2005. At that public meeting the Planning Board recommended, by a vote of 3 to 2, that this
request be approved. Mr. Johnson said that in 1987 the County contracted with the Piedmont Triad
Council of Governments (PTCOG) to begin mapping those townships bordering Guilford County for
possible zoning districting. Within a few months, the County Commissioners requested that PTCOG
expand their mapping to include all of Randolph County. Since there was a deadline for completion of
this countywide zoning study, PTCOG was not able to visit all sites and roads in the county to establish
the zoning district boundaries. Instead, PTCOG used existing county mapping that dated around 1982.
A portion of the existing McDowell Lumber Company had been zoned in error by the PTCOG as Light
Industrial, and the entire area of the lumberyard had not been accurately reflected on the zoning maps
adopted in 1987. Mr. Johnson said the applicant is now asking the County to properly zone the
property, which would include a small area to the rear of that portion of the property currently used by
the lumberyard. Mr. Johnson said that the applicant has requested that the following list of conditions
be considered as an amendment to his rezoning request:
1. Shall contact AT&T officials before digging or building near any area of cable right-of-way and
obtain appropriate clearance from AT&T.
2. No construction of any buildings north of any existing structure facing Old NC Hwy 49.
3. Shall maintain three staggered rows of evergreen trees fronting Old NC Hwy 49 as per site plan.
4. Shall maintain three staggered rows of evergreen trees along the eastern property line embankment
area as per site plan.
5. Shall maintain one row of evergreen trees along the southeastern open area of the property line as
per site plan.
6. Shall maintain one row of evergreen trees along the western property line.
7. Existing exterior fans on the northern wall of the pallet building must be relocated to the eastern
wall. The eastern wall must be enclosed with an insulated addition of roof, north, and east walls so
the existing eastern wall becomes an interior wall to reduce noise.
8. The open breathing/inspection hole at the top of the sawdust waste bin must be enclosed and the
"breathing" must be channeled within a newly constructed sheet metal pipe to the ground area to
reduce dust.
9. Current lighting (9 outside lights) must be reduced by approximately one-half (within the
safeguards of employee security).
10. Install and maintain a scheduling system for trucks owned by McDowell Lumber to reduce the
truck traffic during the weekend and late night.
11. Continue to comply with all OSHA requirements concerning safety, noise, and air quality.
12. Continue to comply with all State or Federal regulations concerning storm water run-off
Teresa Durham, President of Safety -Net, said that she had been working with the applicant for 2
years and that Mr. McDowell has complied with all safety requirements. She said that Mr. McDowell
has tried to appease the neighbors and their concerns and that McDowell Lumber Company is an asset
14
and good steward to the community. She said that representatives from OSHA have been on-site and
found no irregularities or violations. A representative from N.C. Air Quality Section performed
inspections and did not find anything to warrant any further testing. An inspection of storm water
management was done by a NCDENR representative and he found no problems with the existing
program that has been in place for 10 years. Ms. Durham addressed concerns about loud noise coming
from the lumberyard. She said that tests were conducted and it was determined that noise levels were
not excessively high. She said that employees are required to wear hearing protection and have been
advised to have annual hearing tests. She said that the applicant has done a lot of paving to help with
the dust problem and the dust bin collection system is going to include a fabricated piece that will help
control any dust that escapes from its breathing vent. She said that the Department of Natural
Resources has determined that McDowell Lumber Company actually qualifies for exemption status due
to its low dust levels. She also said that about 10 to 15% of the tree buffer has been cleared; however,
when fans are moved and insulated buildings are completed, this should eliminate some of the noise.
(Note: Ms. Durham read from a packet of information that had been provided to the Commissioners
prior to the meeting; she requested that this packet be made part of the permanent record. Therefore,
the contents of the packet entitled 'McDowell Lumber Company Response to Planning & Zoning
Board Meeting" is incorporated herein by reference and is made a part of the record as if set out in
full. The original packet will be kept on file in the Clerk's office. Copies are available upon request.)
Bob Hornik, attorney from Chapel Hill, N.C., spoke on behalf of some of the neighbors. He said
that it was obvious that this property had been erroneously zoned from the beginning; the entire
property that the lumberyard encompasses should have been zoned as Heavy Industrial. He said that the
mistake should have been corrected long ago when, instead, the problem was perpetuated because
building permits have been issued for the last 10-12 years for more expansion of the business. He
referred to the Table of Permitted Uses in the Randolph County Zoning Ordinance and said that it was
very clear that this was a non -conforming use. He said that the reason that the sawmill was
"grandfathered in" in 1987 when countywide zoning was begun was because the sawmill was
considered a temporary structure. He also referred to the County's Growth Management Plan (GMP)
and said that this error should have been corrected at the time the GMP was implemented because this
property is located in a Rural Growth Area. He said that it is a policy of the State of North Carolina that
non -conforming uses be eventually eliminated, not legalized. He also said that there is case law that
supports the destruction of expansion via building permits that were issued erroneously. He said that it
would be bad policy to legalize what's been a non -conforming use for the past 17 years.
Maxton McDowell, 5354 Old Hwy 49, Asheboro, spoke in opposition to the request, citing air,
noise, dust, soil and water pollution and safety issues. He said that this sawmill operation is not
consistent with the County's Growth Management Plan. He talked about Old Hwy 49 South and how
the narrow road is congested with logging trucks. He said that the sawmill operation that was built in
1974 was supposed to be a temporary one. He said that the reason the request is being heard now is
because a Planning Board member asked in open session some time ago why this operation was
allowed to operate since it should be zoned as Heavy Industrial and it lies in a Rural Growth Area, not
because the applicant initiated the request. He used pictures that Mr. Johnson had used earlier in the
meeting to show the view from Maxton McDowell's front yard and how this view negatively affects
the value of his property. He pointed out the holes that had recently been dug in order to plant trees. He
said that he (M. McDowell) was planting the trees because T. McDowell wouldn't do it. He said that it
would be many, many years before the trees (buffer) that T. McDowell had planted in November 2004
would be tall enough to provide adequate buffer. He said that there is loud and annoying noise at all
hours of the day and night—even at 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. Should the request be approved with
specific operating hours as a condition, M. McDowell asked who would come out to investigate a
15
complaint at 4:00 in the morning? He said that approving this request would definitely set a bad
precedent for this area. He concluded his comments by reminding the Board about a court case several
years ago in which an attorney said, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." In like manner, M. McDowell
said to the Board, "If it doesn't comply, you must deny."
Commissioner Frye asked M. McDowell if he thought there was any chance of a compromise
between the neighbors and T. McDowell and M. McDowell's response was an emphatic "NO!"
Barbara Winslow, adjoining neighbor residing at 5179 Old NC Hwy 49, Asheboro, said that her
family moved to this area to enjoy the quiet, country life. However, she says it has been anything but
quiet due to loud trucks coming and going all day and night, the stacking of lumber, and the sound of
the sawmill itself. She said that the dust has always been really bad. She has developed breathing
problems, chronic bronchitis and asthma and has been told by her doctors that the dust from the
sawmill could have caused it. She said that she and her neighbors don't want to hinder progress or
cause people to lose their jobs. And she never said that T. McDowell wasn't a giving person—he's just
forgotten his neighbors. She said that there is a new building going up almost all the time. She said that
she and her husband have not complained in the past but now the sawmill operation keeps getting
closer and closer and they have to say something. She spoke about their rental house that is situated
right on the property line. This house belonged to her husband's family and her husband grew up in it.
Their renter is moving out at the end of the month because of the noise and dust and they don't believe
they will be able to find another renter who would be willing to live so close to these adverse
conditions. She said that they don't want to shut down McDowell Lumber Company, but suggested that
T. McDowell move the operation to his 100 acres located to the rear of his property. She also spoke
about how the sawmill has devalued her property. Ms. Winslow read a letter from her renter, Gaynelle
Vioni, who was unable to attend due to illness. The letter said that she was moving because of the noise
and dust pollution. She said that at the time she moved in to this house there were trees that blocked
most of the dust and noise. Now those trees are gone. She said that she didn't think that anyone would
rent the house after she left.
Claude Winslow, 5179 Old NC Hwy 49, distributed pictures of the applicant's property the day
before the first Planning Board meeting and pictures taken the day before this (February) meeting. He
said it was evident that T. McDowell doesn't think that his request will be denied because he continues
to build. He said that he has talked to 8 State -approved appraisers who have all said that the sawmill
devalues his property. He said that on January 12, 2005, he sat in his yard continuously from 8 a.m.
until 4 p.m. and counted 156 pallet and logging trucks that came in and out of the lumber company. He
said that the cover that was put on top of the dust collector doesn't work. He said that he called the
State's Air Quality Section and was told that they had never heard of McDowell Lumber Company—it
wasn't in their database. He said that the noise control measures that T. McDowell says that he has
recently installed have not helped. He mentioned that there have been 2 logging truck accidents
recently, one of which was a fatality. He said that one of these trucking companies patronizes
McDowell Lumber Company.
Kim Winslow Hoffman, 626 Mountain Rd., Asheboro, said that Barbara and Claude Winslow
were her parents. She said that she believes that the split zoning in 1987 (part Light Industrial and part
Residential Agricultural) was done in order to maintain the harmony of the rural nature of the area and
to prevent more of this kind of business in the area. She showed a homemade video of the property in
order to convey the noise and dust problems.
16
Hal Winslow, 817 Monroe Ave., Asheboro, said that he was a brother to Claude Winslow and
grew up in the Winslow's rental house that adjoins the lumberyard property. He questioned Teresa
Durham's earlier comments about there being no dust. He said that is very inconsistent with any
sawmill operation. He said that he could remember his mother being covered in dust for 15 years. He
said he believes that the major problem now is that the natural buffer of trees has been removed. He
also questioned the efficiency of a mature 30 -ft. high buffer of trees for a 60 -ft. high dust collector. He
said that he's been in real estate for 25 years and location is the most important factor in considering
real estate. He said that his brother's property wouldn't come close to market value because of the
sawmill operation. He said that even if the decibel levels were acceptable, he understands that noise
damage is cumulative and that damage may not be detectable for many years. He said that the lumber
company is using this property illegally because it's a heavy industrial use in a rural area. He said that
if the request is approved, it would be rewarding illegal use and penalizing people who use their land as
it's supposed to be used. He sees no reason why someone would have to go to court to stop this.
Marion Moller, 1288 Greene Oak Rd., Asheboro, said that she lives 4'/z miles from Asheboro and
goes to town 4-5 times a week. She said that she sees 1-2 logging trucks every time she's on Old Hwy
49. If the request is approved, she believes that it could be a potential Pandora's Box.
Chairman Holmes closed the public hearing and lengthy discussion began.
County Attorney Alan Pugh said that now is the time for compromise because if the "losing" party
pursues court involvement, the court's decision will be absolutely final.
On motion of Frye, seconded by Kemp, the Board voted unanimously to continue the request of
McDowell Lumber Company until no later than the May Board of Commissioners meeting in order to
consider other options and conditions for improving the buffer, dust control and noise concerns, and to
utilize the Planning staff as facilitators.
