• The Planning Board discussed the length of Cul-de-Sacs in the
Subdivision exceeded the 500' requirement as outlined in the Ordinance.

loop through the subdivision possibly creating better traffic flow.
Mr. McDowell said the Dept. of Transportation had accepted the street
design to avoid crossing twice over water streams in the area.
The Planning Board asked Hal Johnson to check with the Highway Dept .
to determine if the streets as shown on the plat would be preferable to a
more looping connecting road system.
Maxton McDowell made the motion, seconded by Tal Harrison that the
Preliminary Plat be approved if the Highway Dept. agreed that the proposed
street system layout was more suitable than a looping road.. Also, a
Soil Conservation Plan must he approved. This motion passed.

a dimensional variance to allow him to construct his house 5 feet from
the side property line instead of the required 10 feet. Mr. Bowman said
that there was a large Oak tree that would have to be removed and that
there was a survey error that led him to believe that he was 10 feet from
the side line. Mr. Bowman said he had already poured his footings.

Adjoining property owners had sent letters stating that they had no
opposition to the Variance.
Tal Harrison made the motion, seconded by Doyle Stout to approve

(NOTE.) Prior to discussion, Chairman Don Hancock excused himself from
voting or participation in the discussion citing a personal conflict

property. Vice Chairman Doyle Stout presided.
4. Hal Johnson, Planning Director, advised the Board that they would be
meeting many more times in the future in their role as the Randolph County
Board of Adjustment. The Board of Adjustment is a "quasi-judicial"
administrative board that operates between county officers, citizens, and
the Courts. Appeals from decisions of the Board of Adjustment can only be
made to the Superior Court.
As a result, Mr. Johnson asked if he could call a special meeting for
the month of July of the Planning Board so that a training session could be
conducted on the duties of the Board of Adjustment. The Board was agreeable
and the meeting date will be announced.
