1. Tal Harrison made the motion, seconded by Doyle Stout, to approve the minutes
of the August 7 Planning Board meeting. This motion passed.
2. The following request for a Special Use Permit was considered:
A. Everett & Robert Cooper, Asheboro, North Carolina, requested a Special Use
Permit to develop a Mobile Home Park on approximately 30 acres located on
Cox Road; SR #2834; Grant Township; Zoning District Environmental 1.
Everett Cooper addressed the Board and said that the land had been in their
family for 50 years and he felt the property was in an excellent location
for a Mobile Home Park because of the availability of water & sewer lines.
The property was also heavily wooded that would lend itself well to screening
and buffer zones.
Hal Johnson, County Planning Director, advised the Board that all land in the
vacinity of the N. C. Zoo had special zoning restrictions placed on it as a
criteria for the State locating the Zoo in Randolph County in 1973. An
approximate one mile buffer zone directly adjacent to Zoo property was zoned
Environmental 1 at that time. The First Environmental District is described
in the Ordinance as a low-density district for the retention of natural features
and a rural setting immediately surrounding the zoo site. The low density
primarily refers to permitted lot size on individual residential buildings
and allows special use unified housing and light retail commercial use.
Adjacent to the E-1 District is the E-2 Environmental District. This District
allows a higher density of residential development and specifically allows
Mobile Home Parks. The Zoning Ordinance mentions nothing about Mobile Home
Parks being allowed in the E-1 District. However, the ordinance grants the
Planning Board the authority to authorize Special Use Permits. The ordinance
sets as a minimum lot size for a Mobile Home Park space as 5,000 square feet.
It was noted that without water & sewer line hook-up this minimum size would
not be possible.
The Planning Board expressed concern about granting a Special Use Permit for
a Mobile Home Park in the E-1 District . However, very few persons are currently
with the county that was aware of the intent of the E-1 District as it relates
to Mobile Home Parks when it was established in 1972 and 1973.
Hal Johnson was asked by the Board to contact the County Attorney for
. clarification of the ordinance. Doyle Stout made the motion, seconded by
Ray Farlow to delay action on the Special Use Permit until clarification was
obtained. This motion passed.
3. Tal Harrison made the motion, seconded by Terry Coble, to approve the Final Plat
of LAURELWOOD ESTATES SUBDIVISION; Section 3, Asheboro Township. This motion passed.
4. Ray Farlow made the motion, seconded by Bud Osborne, to approve the Preliminary
Plat of LAURELWOOD ESTATES SUBDIVISION that will include plans for possible sections
4, 5, & 6. (as indicated in the survey plat presented by Attorney Rick Cox, for the
Developers, Laurelwood Club Estates, Inc.) This motion passed.
5. Being no further business the Board adjourned.
