4 . REQUEST FOR PROPERTY REZONING:
TOM BRITT, Asheboro, North Carolina, is requesting that
2 . 57 acres located at 4360 US Hwy 64E (just before
Ramseur Housing Showcase) , Franklinville Township, be
rezoned from Residential Agricultural to Highway
Commercial/Conditional Use. Zoning Map #7781 . It is
the desire of the applicant to construct a structure to
building race car bodies and use the existing house for
antique sales .
Britt was present and explained the majority of work
performed in the body shop would be just placing sheet
metal on frames. The building would be built 60x100
and there would be approximately 4 employees . Britt
added that all storage would remain in the building
(none outside) and there would be no engine work.
Britt explained the antique business would employee one
person once the house has been remodeled.
Audry Overman, Pine Ridge Drive, said she lives in the
new housing development at the rear of this property.
Overman discussed the "run-off" water problems from
this property into the development. Overman presented
pictures of the problems . Overman said the antique
could create junk storage and rat problems and the
community already has an eyesore with the Ramseur
Housing Showcase that adjoins this site . Overman said
she also feared the run-off could create well problems .
Board member Craven asked Overman if they currently
were experiencing any water problems. Overman said
they have not tested their wells .
Britt said he had no plans to do anything outside of
the buildings. Britt said that he has other businesses
and he doesn' t run any junkie businesses and as for the
antique business everything will be stored within the
existing house.
Britt said as for the water problems he has not done
anything to the land (it is still as it was when he
purchased the property) so the drainage of the property
would be natural drainage except for the movement of
dirt, by the developers , for the development of the
housing development. Britt said that it appeared that
the developer should have cut ditches and placed
culverts along the back of each lot on the north side
of the subdivision.
No other opposition was present.
Board member Routh asked Britt if he would be doing any
grading of the property. Britt said that he would be
done a little grading (in order the construct the
building) but all the grading would be at least 300 ft.
from any of the houses .
Lynden Craven said that it is obvious that this
---' property has always had this drainage problem and
should have been corrected during the early stages of
the development of the subdivision.
Bill Dorsett said that this is ideal commercial
property and it is just a matter of what type of
commercial a business should be located here. Dorsett
said he felt that the proposed business seemed
appropriate. Dorsett said that the water problems are
not just on Britt' s property and just digging a ditch
on his property would not settle the problem. Dorsett
said due to the fact that Britt doesn' t have authority
on the adjoining parcels and since he did nothing to
create the drainage problems , he should not be
responsible for fixing the problem.
Craven made the motion, seconded by Bill Dorsett, to
recommend to the Commissioners that this request be
approved as consistent with the Land Development Plan
with the following restrictions:
**no outside storage
**all activities must be maintained under roof (for
both businesses)
**50 ft. natural buffer at the rear of the property be
maintained
The Board unanimously passed this motion.

regulations created by the State he is required to
operate a store building (with a store front)
solely for the purpose of gun sales. This is why
he is required to have a Special Use Permit.

his license for a hobby. Talbert said he only
deals in "title collectables" (guns mainly
purchased for a collection and not to shoot) .
There was no one present in opposition.
Dorsett said that he would be concerned with the
fact that this would be a 2nd business on this
residential property (causing the primary use of
the property appear to be more commercial than
residential) . Talbert said that he will be
phasing out the transmission business within the
next year to eighteen months . Johnson explained
to the Board that once the transmission business
was closed (due to the fact that this business is
non-conforming) it could not be re-opened without
coming back to this Board. Dorsett seemed less
concerned once given this knowledge.
Lynden Craven made the motion, seconded by Tim
