A: Name: Brookwood Acres Mobile Home Park; Owner: B.J. Lawrence;
Location: Rockett Road (SR 1937) ; Township: Level Cross; Number of Lots: 1/:;
Community Water System.
The Planning Board reviewed the proposed plans for the new park development.
Mr. Lawrence was present at the meeting and advised the Board that he planned to
allow only double wide mobile homes in the Park and would totally comply with the
road and erosion control requirements.
Mr. W. J. Dorsett, Route 4, Randleman, N.C. was present at the meeting to
express his opposition to the new mobile home park. Mr. Dorsett said that there
was over 116 mobile homes already on Rockett Road and that the addition of a new
moble home park would creat traffic problems and overcrowding of the area.
Mr. Dorsett also expressed his concern that his farm pond will be adversely affected
by the new park if septic tank failures occured. Mr. Dorsett said that he realized
that there was no zoning in Level Cross Township and asked if the park had to be
allowed that the Planning Board not allow development of the proposed lots numbers
1,2, 13, &14. He said that by not allowing mobile homes on these lots his farm pond
would be better protected.
The Planning Board Chairman read a letter from the County Health Department
that stated that proper functioning septic tanks located near the pond would not
pose a threat to the environment. The Planning Board asked if Mr. Dorsetts concerns
could be relayed to the Health Department asking them to insure that the pond will
be protected. After review and discussion Terry Coble made the motion, seconded by
Charles Adams to authorize the Special Use Permit. Mr. Dorsett was advised that
under terms of the Mobile Home Park Ordinance he could appeal the decision to the
Board of County Commissioners.
