Adjustment
Vice-Chairman Farlow called to order the Planning and Zoning Board
of Adjustment in Public Hearing to consider the following Special Use Zoning
request :
A. Eugene Langston , High Point , North Carolina requests that a Special
Use Permit be issued for the construction of a Junked Vehicle Storage Yard
on approximately 5 . 44 acres located on the east side of Mendenhall Road,
below SR #1614, Trinity Township , Tax Map D-1 , Parcel 55A, Zoning Map 1-1.
The Public Hearing was attended by citizens of the area opposing the
location of a Junked Vehicle Storage Yard. Don Gurley, High Point , North
Carolina, presented to the Board a petition signed by persons residing in
the immediate area and opposing the Special Use Zoning Request . The
PAGE 2
petition stated that the people opposed the zoning request because the
Junked Vehicle Storage Yard would damage the surrounding property value
and make the neighborhood a less desirable place to live . Several other
citizens in attendance spoke against the Zoning request .
During the Public Hearing it was discussed that Mr. Langston was
in the process of cleaning up the property under guidelines established
by the State Division of Health Services . The State Division of Health
Services had forwarded a letter to the County Health Director that advised
that if Mr. Langston cleaned up the solid waste being disposed on the
property according to State guidelines , then the state could not foresee
any public health affects associated with the storage of junked automobiles
on the property . After discussion the Board of Adjustment decided to
postpone the Public Hearing on the Special Use Zoning Request until such
time as Mr. Langston complies with the clean up guidelines established
by the state . Once this has been accomplished a new Public Hearing will
be advertised to consider the Special Use Zoning Request . Board Member
Jim Newton asked Mr. Langston if he would object to the delaying of the
Public Hearing and Mr. Langston advised that he would have no objection .
Jim Newton made the motion , seconded by Doyle Stout , that the Board of
Adjustment Public Hearing be delayed until such time as Mr. Langston
had complied with state requirements , at which time the Board of Adjustment
would again review the request . This motion passed and the Board adjourned.
4. Miscellaneous : It was pointed out that Phase II of the Planning Board' s
Zoning Feasibility Study would involve getting ideas and opinions from
County Contractors and Realtors . A joint meeting with representatives
of the Home Builders Association and the local Realtors Association will
be planned at a future meeting.
5 . Being no further business , Jim Newton made the motion, seconded by
Doyle Stout to adjourn the meeting, and the Planning Board meeting adjourned.
