RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD
September 9, 1981
There was a meeting of the Randolph County Planning Board on Wednesday,
September 9, 1981 at 1:30 p.m. in the Public Conference Room, Department of
Public Health Building, McDowell Governmental Center, South Fayetteville
Street, Asheboro, North Carolina. The following members were present:
Don Hancock, Chairman ABSENT
Doyle Stout
Terry Coble
Joyce Davis Ray Farlow
Jim Newton Andrew Lueker
.1. Jim Newton asked that the Minutes from the Planning Board meeting of August 5, 1981,
concerning his motion to recommend denial of the re-zoning request of Arnold H. Mann,
be re-worded to reflect in more detail his reasons for the recommendation. Mr.
Newton asked that the minutes reflect that the request for re-zoning be denied on
the grounds that the Planning Board was presented with a Plat of the property showing
it cut up into 50 foot wide lots and a subdivision with the name of "Beverly Hills
Subdivision". The entry to the property was through a 30 foot wide road according
to the plat. There are permanently structured homes and mobile homes on both sides
of the street when approaching this property and it would be considered residential,
and industrial usage could pose a hazard to the residents. Terry Coble made the
motion that the minutes of the August 5 Planning Board meeting be approved with
the addition of Mr. Newton's reasons for re-zoning denial be added to the Board
Minutes. Doyle Stout seconded the motion and the motion passed.
2. Hal Johnson presented the Planning Board with an Ordinance that would amend
some of the existing County Zoning regulations. (A copy of the proposed Ordinance
is attached as a part of the Board Minutes) Johnson advised the Board that he
felt that the changes would make the County Zoning Ordinance more applicable to
existing County development patterns and would give the Planning Board and Board
of Commissioners more control over what re-zoned property would be used for. After
review and discussion the following motions were made:
A. Jim Newton made the motion, seconded by Terry Coble, that the Zoning
Ordinance be amended to contain provisions as presented for Conditional
Use Zoning Districts. This motion passed.
B. Jim Newton made the motion, seconded by Joyce Davis, that the minimum
site area for a Mobile Home Park be reduced to two acres. This motion
passed.
C. Terry Coble made the motion, seconded by Joyce Davis, that the minimum
site area for a Unified Business Development be reduced to one acre.
This motion passed.
D. Jim Newton made the motion, seconded by Terry Coble, that the minimum
site area for a Unified Housing Development be reduced to two acres.
This motion passed.
E. Terry Coble made the motion, seconded by Jim Newton, that the minimum
site area for a Travel Trailer Park be reduced to 5 acres. This motion
passed.
The Zoning Ordinance revisions recommendations will be forwarded to the Board
of County Commissioners for Public Hearing and final action at the Commissioners
Meeting on October 5, 1981.
3. Phase IV - Zoning Feasibility Study - Study
Hal Johnson presented to the Planning Board a review of the various zoning
feasibility study phases completed by the Board. It was discussed that because
two of the seven Planning Board members were absent that a recommendation to the
County Commissioners should not be made until all the Board members were present.
Jim Newton advised the Board that he did not feel that he had enough information
to make a final decision concerning zoning. Mr. Newton said that while he was not
necessarily in favor of County-wide zoning he would like to look at those townships
where land use problems were developing. Mr. Newton suggested that the Planning
Board go and visit some of the northern townships so that a better understanding

of potential problems could be seen. Hal Johnson told the Board that he would
be available to take any member of the Planning Board to any area of the County
`i to view land development patterns.
4. A special meeting of the Planning Board was set for Wednesday, September 23, 1981.
The purpose of the meeting is to finalize a recommendation to the Board of County
Commissioners relative to County zoning and planning.
