Clerk of Court Linda Skeen administered the required Oath of Office to new Board Member Bill Dorsett. 3. REZONING REQUESTS: A. John L. Howell, High Point, North Carolina, was requesting that approximately 26 acres located on the north side of West Mendenhall Road (SR #1616) near the intersection of SR #1616 and SR #1619 (Prospect St. Ext.) , Trinity Township; Zoning Map 1-1; be re-zoned from Residential-Agricultural to Light Industrial. It is the desire of the applicant to develop an industrial park. Mr. Howell was present at the meeting and presented his plans for an industrial park development. No persons spoke in opposition to the request. The Board noted that the County Land Development Plan projected this area to grow industrial. After review and discussion, Ray Farlow made the motion, seconded by Guy Troy to recommend approval of the request. This motion passed. B. C. Wayne McDonald, High Point, North Carolina, is requesting that approximately 70 acres of land located on the south side of Turnpike Road (SR #1558) near the intersection of SR #1558 and SR #1619 (Prospect St. Ext.) , Trinity Township, Zoning Map 1-1; be re-zoned from Residential-Agricultural to Light Industrial. Wayne McDonald was present at the meeting and presented his plans for an Industrial Park Development. No persons spoke in opposition to the request. After review and discussion Arlie Culp made the motion, seconded by Lynden Craven to recommend approval of the request as the County Land Development Plan shows large areas of industrial activity in this area. This motion passed. C. Joe Hoffman, High Point, North Carolina, requested that he be allowed to use a 20' right of way easement for access to his property instead of the 30' wide private road requirements outlined in County Ordinance. Mr. Hoffman advised the board that if the Variance is granted no lots could be sold less than 5 acres and each 5 acre tract would be limited to one single family residence. (The property is located in New Market Township, west of SR #1532 and south of SR #1773) . After review and discussion, the Board felt the 600' length of the 20' easement was too long to allow a narrow 20' drive that would serve four families. Ray Farlow made the motion, seconded by Bill Dorsett to deny the variance until Mr. Hoffman could make a good faith effort to obtain an additional 10' in the easement. Mr. Hoffman could then re-submit his request for a variance after having made this effort. The motion passed. MINUTES RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD JUNE 17, 1987 PAGE 2 4. REVIEW OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS ON ZONING The County Planning Board and the Board of County Commissioners completed on June 16, 1987 a series of eight community meetings held throughout Randolph County. The Board of Commissioners had asked that the Planning Board review citizen input received at these meetings and make final recommendations to the County Commissioners. The County Planning Board noted the following concerns and approved the following recommendations to be forwarded to the Board of Commissioners: A. MOBILE HOME SUBDIVISIONS: Citizens expressed concern that Mobile Home (Manufactured Housing) Subdivisions (Individually owned lots) be treated the same as a site built home subdivision. Citizens expressed concern over the type of foundations that are placed under manufactured homes located in subdivisions. The Planning Board voted to recommend to the County Commissioners that Manufactured Housing placed in new subdivisions should be placed on permanent masonary foundations after removal of the under carriages. (This would replace the current recommendations of having continuous underskirting) . The Planning Board also asked that this requirement for permanent foundations be extended to cover Manufactured Housing located in the new proposed Restricted Residential Districts. The Board also noted the need to establish a standardized road sign requirement for placement by the developer in subdivisions containing new public roads. It was agreed that the standard state road sign (green with white letters) should be utilized. The Board also noted the need to centralize Subdivision processing so that appropriate agencies can be notified when a new subdivision is being considered. The Planning Department will be the centralized location. Final electrical power will not be released until the subdivision has been developed to requirements. B. CHICKEN HOUSE PROLIFERATION: It was noted of citizen concern about the growing number of chicken houses being constructed in the county. However, zoning regulations do not apply to farm/agricultural uses of land. It was noted that developers could be encouraged to place private deed restrictions in new subdivisions that would prohibit this type of use. The Board of County Commissioners will conduct a public hearing on Monday, July 6, 1987 at 7:00 p.m. to consider countywide zoning. 5. Being no further business the Board adjourned.
