Hal Johnson asked Trotter if he was aware that the

requesting that approximately 69 acres located on SR
1341 (Loflin Hill Road) , Tabernacle Township, be
rezoned from Residential Agricultural to Residential
Mixed. Zoning Map #6791. It is the desire of the
applicant to develop a 53 lot subdivision for
manufactured housing.
Don Lanier was present and explained this subdivision
would contain lot sizes of 1+ acres (approximately
twice the required size) , underground utilities,
require mobile homes to be no older than 1985 models,
and the timber on the property would remain (except
for roads and home sites) . Lanier stated that some
of the neighbors in this area were contacted and said
they had no opposition. Davidson County Water, Inc.
would service the development.
JIM & PEGGY WALLACE, were present and expressed
opposition to mobile homes being located on this
property. Wallace said his plans were to subdivision
his property (across the road) into 4 tracts (12 1/2
acres each) for his children. Wallace stated that he
would like to see this property development
Residential Restricted.
J. B. DAVIS, adjoining land owner, stated that in the
future he plans to develop and move to his property
and feels this type of development would not be
appropriate for this area. Davis stated that he knew
there was a need for this type of development but he
felt it should be placed somewhere else in the
County.
There were 7 people present in opposition to this
request.
Board member Doyle Stout stated that he felt it was
the County responsibility to protect the people that
RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES

Page 5
live in this area and that he did not believe this
type of development was appropriate for this
community.
Doyle Stout made the motion to recommend to the
Commissioners that this request be DENIED on the
grounds that this development would greatly increase
the density level of this low density community.
Bill Dorsett seconded this motion and the motion
passed with a 6 - 1 vote. Maxton McDowell voted
against the motion.
C: PHIL HENLEY, Asheboro, North Carolina, is requesting
that approximately 30 acres located on SR 2611
(Grayson Byrd Road) , Franklinville Township, be
rezoned from Residential Agricultural to Residential
Restricted. Zoning Map #7781. It is the desire of
the applicant to develop a restricted residential
subdivision of 37 lots.
Vance Roberts, agent, told the Board the development
would be for site built homes and the lot sizes
exceeds the County restrictions. Roberts told the
Board that all the surrounding subdivisions had lot
sizes of 20, 000 sq. ft. (almost 1/2 the size of this
development's lots. ) .
BILL & CAROLYN MCKENZIE, Hwy 64, presented the Board
with a petition of 14 signatures in opposition to the
number of lots proposed for this development.
McKenzie told the Board that they are not opposed to
the Residential Restricted Zoning just the number of
lots.
Vance Roberts told the Board that he and his partners
are already dealing with so many things against them.
Roberts said the property adjoins a mobile home park,
a used mobile home sales lot, and is across the road
from a mobile home supply sales business. Roberts
said with these variables the lots would already be
difficult to sell for site built development lots.
Bill Dorsett said this would be an improvement to the
area and would be very appropriate.
Jim Routh made the motion, seconded by Arlie Culp, to
recommend to the Commissioners that this request be
APPROVED. The motion passed unanimously.
6. MISCELLANEOUS:
A: Amendment to County Zoning Ordinance
VESTED RIGHTS AMENDMENT
Senate Bill 766 - G.S. 153A-344 . 1
RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES
November 5, 1991
Page 6
Hal Johnson explained to the Board that the State has
past a Senate Bill #766 that requires Counties and
Local Governments to add the VESTED RIGHTS AMENDMENT
to their local ordinance. The Home Builders
Association was concerned because properties were
being purchased for development and before the
development could begin local governments were
changing the zoning of the property.
Randolph County will require a developer to have a
site specific development plan to be approved through
the Conditional Use Rezoning process. This would
grant the developer a vested time period of 2 years .
Doyle Stout made the motion, seconded by Maxton
McDowell, to make this amendment to our zoning
ordinance. The motion passed unanimously.
