(3) No sign advertising.

3. SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUESTS
A. Neil G. Butterfield, West Jordan, Vermont, requested a Special Use Permit
for approximately 7 acres located on a private street, on the north side of
State Road #2839. Mr. Butterfield desired to develop a Mobile Home Park con-
sisting of 26 one fourth acre spaces - Second Environmental District;
Grant Township.
Mrs. Irene Sedale, P.O. Box 1823, Asheboro, N.C. , attended the meeting
representing Mr. Butterfield. She advised the Board that no soil evaluation
had been performed as yet by the Health Dept.
The following persons attended the meeting in opposition to the request:
Kenny Boling, Asheboro, N.C. ; Kay Delk, Asheboro, N.C. ; and Mr. & Mrs. Dennis
Coble, 1463 Fisher Circle, Asheboro, N.C. They opposed the establishment of
a Mobile Home Park in the area because the private road would not support the
increased traffic. The property owners had purchased large 5+ acre tracts to
avoid high density development. A mobile home park would destroy the private
road's surface and devalue the single family character of the area.
After review and discussion, Ray Farlow made the motion, seconded by
Doyle Stout, to deny the Special Use Permit. This motion passed unanimously.
Grounds for denial were the low density character of neighborhood and the
hazard posed by high density development on a private road surface.
B. James H. Dowdy, 1003 Westwood Ave. , High Point, N.C. , requested a Special
Use Permit for approximately 80 acres located on Uwharrie Road, State Road
1612, Zoning Map 1-1, Trinity Township. Mr. Dowdy desired to develop a
Mobile Home Park that eventually would include up to 300 mobile homes.
Mr. Dowdy attended the meeting and advised the Board that the Park would
have a private sewer system when approved by the State. Mr. Dowdy told the
Board that the property was not suitable for industrial development.
Members of the Planning Board discussed that the area in question was a
mixture of industrial and residential development and that this was part of
the problem.

the County's Land Development Plan by the PTCOG is completed. This motion

recommendations to the County Commissioners concerning allocation of County
grant funds. The following specific motions were made pertaining to the
allocation:
A. Doyle Stout made the motion, seconded by Tal Harrison, to remove $35,000
from the staff recommended allottment to Asheboro and increase funding of

$365,000 to Asheboro. This motion passed unanimously.

reason for not recommending any funding was that Ramseur had requested large
amounts of County Sales Tax money and the Planning Board should not consider
tax money allocation. This motion passed unanimously.

Commissioners at a joint meeting to be held January 6, 1986.

ATTACHMENT TO MINUTES
SUBJECT: State Grants to Local Governments
Water & Sewer Funding, Senate Bill 2
Randolph County Allocation $1,329,080.00
PROJECT: Planning Board Recommendations to Commissioners
Re-allocation of County Funds to Municipalities
1. ARCHDALE PROJECT: Establishment of wastewater treatment facility south
of Interstate 85. With the new treatment plant an initial service of 200,000
gallons per day could be provided and the scope would be expanded with demand.
The system could eventually be expanded to serve 90% of all the land in North-
west Randolph County west of the new I-85.
Requested Funds: $850,000
Planning Board Recommendation: $670,580
Funding Justification: Archdale's project is essential to growth in Northwest
Randolph County. Obvious problems with septic tank failures, and the vast
potential for industrial and residential development would provide solid bene-
fits to the county's tax base.
2. RANDLEMAN PROJECT: Waterline loop to serve high school of 950 and the middle
school of 684. Also Nantucket Mills which employs 600 persons. Lack of water
pressure could cause safety problems. Construction of a sewer line for central
Randleman. The existing line is overloading. The third project was requesting
$200,000 to construct and update a water treatment plant to serve existing homes
and businesses. Total cost of 1st & 2nd project - $197,000.
Requested Funds: $300,000
Planning Board Recommendation: $98,500 (Z of $197,000)
Funding Justification: Funding is based on 11 the cost of the waterloop for West
Randleman and the two schools and Nantucket. Lack of water pressure can cause
safety problems. Also, it can be anticipated that additional industrial and
residential development will take place at these intersections of Highway 220.
3. LIBERTY PROJECT: Extension of water & sewer lines to the Liberty Industrial
Park located one mile north of the Liberty Corporate Limits.
Requested Funds: $178,500
Planning Board Recommendation: $145,000
Funding Justification: The project is located outside of City Limits, Will
have major impact on unemployment in Northeast Randolph County and will add to
tax base of county.
4. FRANKLINVILLE PROJECT: Desires to purchase the Randolph Mills privately
owned sewage system at a'cost of $35,000 in grant funds. When Franklinville's
water distribution system was built in 1978 the extension of the system to
serve that part of town south of Deep River was deleted. 35-40 residents would
be affected. Cost of project is $15,000 in grant share.
Requested Funds: $50,000
Planning Board Recommendation: $50,000
Funding Justification: The extension of water distribution lines would aid
citizens and also indirectly aid Ramseur through the selling of more water to
Franklinville. Town feels that purchase of wastewater plant would help end
serious health problem.

5. ASHEBORO PROJECT: Asheboro water plant expansion and city distribution
system improvements. This would allow expansion of water plant to 12 million
gallons a day. Asheboro project also includes extension of sewer lines and
various repairs and maintenance to current system infrastructure.
Total Project Cost: $6,285,730
Planning Board Recommendation: $365,000 grant allocation
Funding Justification: Planned expansion of the water plant and distribution
system is essential for city and county growth and development. Expansion
could see county benefiting by water distribution in the Seagrove area.
6. RAMSEUR PROJECT: Construction of a new 1.5 MGD water treatment plant.
Requested funding was $1,500,000. $550,000 from the county's grant allocation
and $950,000 from the county's sales tax revenues. $400,000 would go
toward construction of the Ramseur water plant and the remainder would be
allocated for construction of a water transmission system interconnecting
the existing systems of Ramseur and Liberty. Cost to the county of the
transmission project is $1,100,000.
TOTAL PROJECT COST: $1,500,000
$550,000 County Grant Allocation
$950,000 is Sales Tax County Revenue
Planning Board Recommendation: 0
Funding Justification: The proposed project with interconnecting transmission
system would take majority of county grant funds available plus substantial
amounts of county tax money. Anything less including tax monies, would not
enable the project to be successful. (The Town of Liberty has stated that they
have adequate well water supply at present and will continue to use ground
water as long as possible being the most economical supply.) Ramseur's request
was tied to tax funds and the Planning Board could not recommend allocating tax
monies.
PROJECT CONCLUSION: Final recommendations by Board of County Commissioners
would result in Commissioner resolution allocating Randolph County's proportion
of grant to municipalities within county. At this point it would be the
responsibility of each city to apply to the state with matching funds for
final approval under Senate Bill 2.
