Hal Johnson advised the Board that Mr. Hedrick had converted a storage building into a car repair shop and because of its location in a Residential -Suburban zone was in violation of the Zoning Ordinanna. Minutes Randolph County Board of Commissioners Meeting August 2, 1982 Page 3 Billy Hedrick advised the Board that he had originally built the building to store tools and other equipment because he was a building contractor. When the interest rates continued to stay high, his building business was hurt so he began using the building for car repair. Mr. Hedrick stated that he and his borthers, Roger Hedrick and Larry Hedrick, had been ignorant of zoning laws and had owned the property since 1951. Mr. Hedrick stated that he would do what was necessary to make the building compatible in the area.

Worth Coltrane, Attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lambeth, addressed the Board of Commissioners to speak against the re -zoning request on behalf of his clients. He presented the Board of Commissioners with pictures showing the nature of the building and grounds. Mr. Coltrane asked that the residential character of the neighborhood be protected and the re -zoning request be denied. Ronald Halster spoke in favor of the re -zoning request and advised the Board that he would prefer a controlled use -on the land instead of the multiple uses that the land could currently be used for. Terry Coble, Randleman, North Carolina, and Joyce Davis, Asheboro, North Carolina, requested the Board of Commissioners to approve the Conditional Use re -zoning. Richard Pugh asked if anyone else would like to address the Board of Commissioners regarding the re -zoning request and no one spoke.
