the some concerns raised by citizens (such as
increase of crime rate, property values, etc . )
were (in his opinion) invalid, and that his

similar to the covenants in Section 1 with the
exception of addition to bring this section in
compliance with County RR Zoning .

that this request is more compatible with the
area than the original request .

the issue of right-of-ways that the right-of-
ways should be the responsibility of the
landowners and not this Board. Dorsett added
that he felt allowing this mobile home would
not change this property or the adjoining
properties . Dorsett stated that each case
(request for mobile home parks) would be
judged on independent merit and this would not
be mobile home (if allowed) would not set a

tial changes made from the Preliminary Plat .

basically a technical review to insure that

Plat by the Planning Board and/or Board of
Commissioners. Recent changes in County
Zoning regulations have extended the review
process for major subdivisions and the County
has relatively little discretion to refuse
relatively little discretion to refuse Final
Plat subdivision approval if the subdivider
has met the standards of the Zoning and
subdivision ordinance previously approved.
