**Arguments For Granting this Request
Johnson explained to the Board that Neal Craven,
developer of Crestview Manor, could not attend

manner due to the location of the septic tank and
there were some topography problems.

called the Planning Office because he left for
work one day and the lot was vacant and when he
came home there was a trailer in his backdoor.
Slycord said that he would have not purchased this
lot from Mr. Craven if he had known this was going
to happen.
**Board Discussion: Conclusions Based on Findings
of Fact
Johnson advised the Board that in the event that
there was this problem, he felt it would be more
fair to everyone involved if the case was
postponed until the developer could be present.
The Board Members agreed.

the driveway cross and explained to the Board that

a Variance of lot size in a WQCA watershed to
allow two 20 , 000 sq. ft. lots to be developed
(with a residence on each lot) in lieu of the
required 80, 000 sq. ft. per residence. Location:
Hwy 64W (approx. 400 ft. past Audie ' s) ; . 92 acres;
Lake Reese Watershed; Tabernacle Township; Zoning
Map #7712; Zoning District RA.
**Arguments for Granting this Request
Johnson explained that this subdivision was
platted several years ago when the County only
required 20 , 000 sq. ft. per building lot. Johnson
explained that the watershed regulations require a
property owner with contiguous vacant lots to
combined lots to meet the watershed lot size
requirements . The reason the County passed the
regulation was because we had received information
from the State that this would be their
requirement. However , when the State passed their
regulations this was made an option for the
counties . Johnson said that Randolph County has
always grandfathered lots that were created under
the old regulations . Johnson added that this type
of variance would be compatible to this
subdivision.
Maxton McDowell excused himself due to a conflict
of interest.
Delk said that these would be site built homes and
would be able to meet all setback requirements
currently in place.
**Arguments Against Granting this Request
There was no one present in opposition.
**Board Discussion: Conclusions Based of Findings
of Fact
Bill Dorsett said that this would not be out of
conformity with the neighborhood and this was not
a hardship brought on by the landowners own doing.
**Order of the Board of Adjustment.
Bill Dorsett made the motion, seconded by Lynden
Craven, to approve this request for a Variance.
The motion passed unanimously.
6 . The meeting adjourned.
