4. REZONING REQUEST:
JIMMY L. HODGE, Trinity, North Carolina, is requesting
that 48 . 36 acres located on Hwy 311 (approx. 6/10 mile
north of SR 1527) , New Market Township, be rezoned from
Residential Agricultural to Highway Commercial. Zoning
Map #7736 . It is the desire of the applicant to use
the property for commercial development.
Paul Barnes, Chambers Price & Britt Realty, explained
to the Board Hodge' s intentions to expand his current
business located on Hwy 311 (closer to Archdale) to
this site. Barnes stated that Hodge' s business is to
take wrecked vehicles strip them of useable parts
(dispose of what is not salvageable) , restore vehicles
that are repairable, and store vehicles for the County,
IRS, and local insurance agencies . Barnes said that
Hodge' s proposed building site is 600 ' off the road and
would be completely fenced and the operation would be
surrounded with buffer zones of natural trees .
Jimmy Hodge addressed the Board and presented a
proposed plan for the property. This plan included a
building (460 ' x 200 ' ) that would be completely fenced,
setback of approx. 600 ft. off Hwy 311, and vacant
property completely surrounding the operation. Hodge
stated that approximately 8 acres would be developed
(of the 48+ acres tract) and the business would not be
for permanent storage of vehicles. Hodge has been
operating his current business for 31 years at the same
location. Hodge explained to the Board his program for
collecting fluids and their storage and disposal.
Hodge told the Board that this would be his maximum
plan and no further expansion is planned.
Clifford Loflin, adjoining resident, stated that his
concerns were buffer zones and setbacks but that he was
pleased with the plan Hodge had presented.
Reggie Beeson, adjoining resident, asked Hal Johnson
what effect this type of development would have on tax
values of adjoining properties. Johnson stated that
the adjoining properties would remain zoned
residential-agricultural and this development would
have no impact on their taxes .
Charles Adams made the motion, seconded by Lynden
Craven, to recommend to the Commissioners that this
request be APPROVED as consistent with the development
plan for this area. The motion passed unanimously.
