Swearing in of Witnesses: There were 4 people that took the following Oath: "Do you swear or affirm that the information you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God. " 5. VARIANCE: BILLY WALKER, Archdale, North Carolina, is requesting a Variance of lot size requirement of 39, 000 sq. ft. in lieu of the required 40 , 000 sq. ft. for a residential building lot. Location: Country Meadows Subdivision, Section 2 , lot 10 , on Country Meadows Lane (off Finch Farm Road) , Trinity Township, Zoning Map #6796, Zoning District RR. **Arguments for Granting Request Mr. Walker was not present. Neal Craven, Surveying Services , was present to answer questions concerning the Subdivision survey. Initially this subdivision was surveyed by using concrete monuments but during title searches the attorneys saw that a poplar tree should have been used. When the property was resurveyed a difference of 8 feet was created causing the lots to be smaller in size. Neal Craven went to the Regional Office of the Department of Environment and Human Resources in Winston Salem to determine what could be done for this situation. Craven explained that he had allowed as many lots as possible to have 40 , 000 sq. ft. but was `.. not able to for all the lots because of the road all ready being built and the easement for the road being • established in deeds all ready transferred to new owners . The State Regional Office of Environmental Services sent a request for a Variance (from the Watershed lot size requirements) to the Raleigh Office and this office notified Mr. Craven that the amount of land difference was so minor they would not rule (therefore approving the request) . **Arguments Against Granting Request RAYMOND STANLEY, Country Meadows Lane , (lot #9) told the Board of being inconvenienced by the delay of the sale of the property. Stanley stated that Walker had misrepresented the reason for the delays. SANDY COOK, Country Meadows Lane, (lots 11 & 12) stated that Walker had also inconvenienced her also and her closing date for the purchase of this property was postponed due to Walker. JERRY DRY, Archdale, explained that he was a friend of Cook and that it appeared to him that all the lots (8 , 9, 11 , 12) had been altered. **Board Discussion: Conclusions based on Findings of Fact Jim Routh stated that there was an obvious error made during the original surveying (not by any intentional wrong doing of the surveyor) , and felt the Board of Adjustment should approve zoning dimensional lot size variances for those affected lots judged suitable for septic tank systems . Aweilda Williams stated that these people have been inconvenienced by the developer but by granting this Variance they will not be further inconvenienced. **Order of Board of Adjustment Aweilda Williams made the motion, seconded by Jim Routh, to approve this request for a Variance of lot size. The motion passed unanimously. 6 . The meeting adjourned at 7 : 40 p.m. NORTH CAROLINA i/ RANDOLPH COUNTY i Planning Direc ! or 1` Aa Date J Cl k/Secretary 114• 177%
