Planning Board Minutes June 23, 2020 Page 1 of 9 Dale presented the first case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties as follows: SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST #2020-00000182 HUBERT EDWARD WILLIS, JR., is requesting to amend his existing Special Use Permit at his residence at 3694 Edgar Rd, New Market Township, Tax ID# 7735232774. The proposed amendment to the existing Special Use Permit would specifically allow the applicant to add a 45 ft. by 80 ft. accessory use building for the existing bee business. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if anyone was present to speak in favor of the Special Use Permit request. Ed Willis, 3694 Edgar Rd., Sophia, took oath. Willis said he was there to ask for approval to add an additional storage building, which was not part of the original Special Use Permit, because of their business growth. He said the building would be used to store bulk lumber purchases which would save them in costs when making their own products and it would give them an area to work. He also said the location of the proposed building was decided because of the proximity to the existing barn and for the convenience of customers when loading products. Willis said he would be glad to answer any questions the Board may have. Slusher asked about the hours of operation. Willis said they are open from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. with the exception of Saturday, they close at 5:00 p.m. He said they will sometimes hold bee classes on Saturdays as well which may include 60-70 people. Vaughan asked if the architecture for the building would be similar to the existing barn. Willis answered yes. Cable asked if there would be any hazardous materials stored there. Willis answered no. He said it would be lumber and the items they manufacture themselves for the bee business. Vaughan said she was glad there is interest in bee keeping because of the need for bees. Willis agreed, he said there is quite a bit of interest in bee keeping. Joyce asked if there was anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the request. Keith Elkes, 5464 Elkes Place, Archdale, took the oath. Elkes said he appreciates the Board considering their request for a building which is necessary for the business. He said they make all their own woodenware such as the bee boxes starting bottom boards all the way to the top which are currently being constructed in his garage and transported to this site. He said if the proposed building is allowed, it would enable them to construct and store on site in addition to the bulk lumber storage. Planning Board Minutes June 23, 2020 Page 2 of 9 Elkes also said he would like to mention that he owns a flooring business, which he has been operating in Archdale for the last year and a half and is not associated in any way with the bee business. He told the Board he would like to clarity that fact in case it is brought up by others present at the meeting. Joyce asked if there was anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition of the request. Colon Farlow, 3764 Edgar Rd., Sophia, took the oath. Farlow read from a copied statement he provided to each Board member (see Exhibit #1 at the end of these minutes). Farlow first read a description of the original Special Use Permit approval, followed by a brief history of the area and its beauty overlooking the Uwharrie Mountains. While reading his statement, some of the things Farlow told the Board is that he is supportive of zoning and is glad that someone is helping to replenish bees. He said he does not have a problem with selling products out of the gift shop on the property which may not even products or even the training classes held on the property that cause twenty or more vehicles to be parked on both sides of Edgar Rd although he does have concerns regarding the type and volume of manufacturing that will be allowed on the property and the increased commercial traffic on Edgar Rd due to internet sales. He asked if the business would also be allowed to manufacture pallets needed for shipping their products as well and if they be allowed to add a shipping dock. He said this agricultural use could grow to the point of completely changing the neighborhood. Farlow asked the Board to deny the request and if approved, he asked that they require the setback for the proposed building to be the same as the current building and consider the building be required to be built on the south side of the existing building rather than the north side to be less intrusive and visually more appealing. Joyce asked the Board if there were any questions for Mr. Farlow. Cable indicates that he does not have a problem with the gift shop and the training classes held on the property and asked Mr. Farlow if that was correct. Farlow agreed. Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition of the request. Jeff Hill, 3802 Edgar Rd., Sophia, took oath. Hill said he has lived on Edgar Rd. for approximately 18 years, just north of Mr. Farlow. He also said the area is beautiful and knows the property is zoned Residential-Agricultural and he is an advocate of the bees and the need for them. Hill told the Board he, as well as Mr. Farlow, has seen flooring vehicles parked on the property and behind the building which is a concern due to the materials used for flooring Planning Board Minutes June 23, 2020 Page 3 of 9 such as the adhesives, padding and wastes which can become detrimental to residential and agricultural properties. He said he would not take issue with the request if it is solely for bee keeping. Hill said he and his wife are avid cyclist and the increased traffic on Edgar Rd is a safety concern as well as the road damage that is caused by additional heavy commercial vehicles over time. Hill also said he does not want future expansion of the business to cause the area to look like something other than residential. Cable asked if he lived below Mr. Farlow. Hill said he lives just north of Mr. Farlow. Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition of the request. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Modlin asked Jay Dale to give a quick summary of the original Special Use approval. Dale said Willis was originally approved for bee keeping and supply sales business which has increased to the point he needs additional storage. He said the applicant is not including the carpet business mentioned, as part of the request and when Code Enforcement officers visited the site, found no evidence of a carpet business. Modlin asked if the existing permit allows manufacturing. Dale said it is low level manufacturing of supplies for an agricultural business which would be allowed although if the manufacturing started producing mass amounts of noise and disruptions, it may have to be looked at a little differently. Modlin said the look of Randolph County is changing because of the increase in the number of 1965. Dale said that is why the applicant is requesting the change. He said they are looking to expand the business and it is up to the Board to see if it would be appropriate. Cable asked Dale if there have been any complaints logged for the property. Dale said the only complaint he had received was from Mr. Farlow when the zoning signs were posted for the request. Vaughan said it was requested by someone that the building be located on the other side of the existing barn and asked if it would be something the applicant would consider or even consider the possibility of placing the new building behind the existing barn and provide additional parking for their classes on the property rather than on the road which would be much safer. Elkes said the proposed location of the building was determined because of need for loading supplies for customers from both buildings and the topology restrictions of the land. He said the placement of the building would not block the beautiful view mentioned and it will be the same color as the existing building and will be visibly pleasing. Planning Board Minutes June 23, 2020 Page 4 of 9 Modlin asked if the existing building was a converted dairy barn. Elkes said it was built new on the property. Modlin asked if the new building would have the same look. Elkes said no. He said the new building would be an A-frame with the same color. Elkes said the need for this building is for buying lumber in bulk and having a place to store it so they can cut down on costs for themselves and customers. He said as far as the box trucks for carpet business that are located on the property, one is filled with bee supplies and the other box truck is used to haul merchandise from place to place. He said there is no flooring business on the property. Modlin asked if the building would be temperature controlled. Elkes said there may be a heater for the lumber side but there would not be air conditioning. Cable said the request is similar to having greenhouses on your property and with no code violations, he would move forward with a motion. Cable made the motion to approve the Special Use Permit request on the specified parcel(s) on the Special Use Permit application, based upon the sworn witness testimony that is included in the minutes, as well as the site plan(s) with any and all agreed upon revisions, and that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety, the use meets all required conditions and specifications, the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining property, that the use is a public necessity and the location and character of use, if developed according to the plan(s) as submitted and approved, will be in harmony with the area and in general conformity with the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance. Slusher made a second to the motion to approve the Special Use Permit request. Joyce called the question on the motion to approve the Special Use Permit request for Hubert Willis, Jr., and the motion was adopted unanimously and the Special Use Permit was granted. Joyce informed Willis that his Special Use Permit had been granted by the Randolph County Planning Board. Dale presented the second case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties as follows: REZONING REQUEST #2020-00000759 CRAIG AND REBECCA BRADY, Asheboro, NC are requesting that 17.15 acres located on Racine Rd, Providence Township, Tax ID# 7777767969, Rickie Moore Subdivision, Lot 2, be rezoned from CVOE CD, Conventional Subdivision Overlay Exclusive Conditional District to Planning Board Minutes June 23, 2020 Page 5 of 9 RA Residential Agricultural. The existing Conditional District Permit is for a 54-lot site built subdivision with 1,700 sq. ft. minimum house size as per site plan. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present to speak on behalf of the rezoning request. Craig Brady, 585 Stoney Creek Church Rd., Burlington, said his request for rezoning is to allow him the opportunity to choose the size and type of housing he would like on his property rather than be restricted to the current requirements. Andy Willard, 994 Circle B Dr., Asheboro, said he is an adjoining landowner and is there He said a man should not be restricted to specific size house when they own 17 acres of land and that there are much smaller homes in the neighborhood and he does not feel that this request will have a negative impact on the area. Joyce asked if there was anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition of the request. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Slusher made the motion to approve the rezoning request to rezone the specified parcel(s) on the rezoning application to the requested zoning district based upon the Determination of Consistency and Findings of Reasonableness and Public Interest statements that are included in the Planning Board agenda, submitted during the rezoning presentation and as may be amended, incorporated into the motion, to be included in the minutes, as well as the site plan(s) with any and all agreed upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is also consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan.

Pell called the question on the motion to approve the rezoning request for Craig Brady and the motion was adopted unanimously and the rezoning was granted. Joyce informed Brady that his rezoning request had been approved by the Randolph County Planning Board. Dale presented the third case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties as follows: REZONING REQUEST #2020-00000707 WILLIAM A JARMAN, Concord, NC, is requesting that 1.50 acres out of 6.05 acres located at 1820 Pleasant Ridge Rd, Coleridge Township, Tax ID# 8700194058, be rezoned from LI Light Industrial to RA Residential Planning Board Minutes June 23, 2020 Page 6 of 9 Agricultural. Secondary Growth Area. Property Owner: Hellenic Property Ventures, LLC Sharon Fraley, 1820 Pleasant Ridge Rd., Ramseur, said she was a Realtor representing Mr. Jarman. She said there is currently a brick, ranch-style residential structure on the property and the current Light Industrial zoning will not allow Mr. Jarman to secure a loan on the property and is requesting that it be rezoned to residential. Joyce asked if there was anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition of the request. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Slusher made the motion to approve the rezoning request to rezone the specified parcel(s) on the rezoning application to the requested zoning district based upon the Determination of Consistency and Findings of Reasonableness and Public Interest statements that are included in the Planning Board agenda, submitted during the rezoning presentation and as may be amended, incorporated into the motion, to be included in the minutes, as well as the site plan(s) with any and all agreed upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is also consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan.

Secondary Growth Area. The proposed Conditional District Permit would specifically allow the applicant to cut a 0.92 acre lot out of the existing 7.34 acres tract as per site plan. Dale said the property meets the current subdivision regulations but previous divisions of property surpasses the minimum number of lots to be divided and require this division to come before the Board for approval. Joyce asked if there was anyone present that would like to speak in favor of the request. Planning Board Minutes June 23, 2020 Page 7 of 9 Megan Goodin, 751 Foxfire Rd., Asheboro, said she is a cousin to James Long and is currently in the process of purchasing the 7.65 acres from him. She said she is a veteran and to secure a VA loan, she is not allowed to have a second residence on the property so she is requesting the division be allowed for removing the second home and 0.92 acre minimum lot size.
