Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 1 of 15 RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES February 9, 2021 There was a meeting of the Randolph County Planning Board on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, at 6:30 p.m. in the 1909 Historic Courthouse Meeting Room, 145-C Worth St, Asheboro, NC. Vice-Chairman Joyce called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and welcomed those in attendance. Joyce called for a roll call of the members. Jay Dale, Randolph County Planning and Zoning Director, called the roll of the members. • Reid Pell, Chairman, absent; • Wayne Joyce, Vice Chairman, present; • John Cable, present; • Keith Slusher, present; • Kemp Davis, present; • Melinda Vaughan, present; • Ralph Modlin, present; and • Reggie Beeson, Alternate, present. County Attorney, Ben Morgan, was also present. Dale informed the Chairman that there was a quorum of the members present for the meeting. Joyce called for a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. Consent Agenda: • Approval of minutes from January 5, 2021, Planning Board meeting. • Approval of agenda for February 9, 2021, Planning Board meeting. • Approval of the Consistency, Reasonableness, and in the Public Interest Statements for the Rezoning Requests by Roddy Crosgrove, Denny Romero, Dania Puente, and Victoria Richards. • Amend 2021 Planning Board Meeting Schedule to change April meeting to April 13, 2021, and July meeting to July 13, 2021, due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts. Cable made the motion to approve the consent agenda as presented with Modlin making the second to the motion. The motion was adopted unanimously. Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 2 of 15 Joyce called for any old business to be brought before the Board. Hearing none, the Board moved forward with the cases on the agenda. Dale presented the first case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties. SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST #2020-00003642 PAUL SCARLATA, Asheboro, NC, is requesting a Special Use Permit at his residence at 1923 Wood Bluff Trl, Cedar Grove Township, Tax ID# 7639648958, Wood Bluff subdivision lot six, CVOE-CU – Conventional Subdivision Overlay Exclusive – Conditional Use District. The proposed Special Use Permit would specifically allow a federal firearms license with no storefront or shooting range as per the site plan. Dale explained that Scarlata writes reviews for firearms after he has received them and would occasionally sell one if someone approached him with interest. Dale told the Board that the developer, Larry McKenzie, had been contacted to make sure Scarlata would comply with his restrictive covenants. He said Mr. McKenzie did not have a problem with the request but asked that it be brought before the Board so the community could weigh in on the decision. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if anyone was present in favor of the Special Use Permit request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone in opposition to the request. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Slusher said he has questions about the request. He said although there is no request for a storefront, there appears to be a parking area located on the side of the road at his property. Dale said he had also seen the area Slusher is referring to and is not sure for what the area is used. He said Scarlata has not indicated that he would like to have a full- scale business. He said he told Eric Martin, at the time of the application, that he currently writes reviews for the product and would like to obtain a Federal-Firearm License to sell them occasionally. Slusher asked if there have been any calls in opposition to the request. Dale said that he had not received any calls and mentioned again that the developer had been contacted regarding the private deed restrictions and with Scarlata’s request being of such low impact, moved forward with his request. Beeson said if the request is approved, it should be stated that the approval is for internet sales, not having a storefront. Cable said he finds it odd that the applicant did not show up for the hearing. Dale said he was unsure of Scarlata’s absence and knew he had been in regular contact with Eric Martin during the process. Eric Martin announced that Scarlata was absent due to heart surgery. Cable said the restriction should be placed on the request to have internet sales only. Joyce agreed that it would be part of the motion. Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 3 of 15 Modlin 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 the 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 request for Scarlata. The motion was adopted unanimously, and the Special Use was granted. Dale presented the second case of the night along, with site plans and pictures, of the site and surrounding properties. REZONING REQUEST #2020-00003643 DAVID LEWIS, Franklinville, NC, is requesting to rezone 16.33 acres, at 3411 Mack Lineberry Rd, Franklinville Township, Tax ID# 7774998694, Rural Growth Area, from RA – Residential Agricultural to RBO-CD – Rural Business Overlay - Conditional District. The proposed Conditional District Permit would specifically allow a machine shop as per the site plan. Property owner: Joy Lewis Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present for the Rezoning request. David Lewis, 3411 Mack Lineberry Rd, Franklinville, NC, said he would like to add a couple of manual mills and lathes and possibly a computer-controlled mill to an existing building on his property so that he may add additional income for his family. Joyce asked Lewis his planned hours of operation and how many employees he planned to have. Lewis said he could possibly work Monday through Thursday from 6:00 a.m. until as late as 5:00 p.m. and has no employees currently but is planning the possibility of up to five within the next several years. Modlin asked if his work would be an automotive machine shop. Lewis said his shop would be geared more toward agriculture and furniture, making brackets and specialty pieces, possibly some for automotive. Modlin asked about the amount and frequency of material being delivered to the site. Lewis said the deliveries would not be frequent because you keep an abundance of material on site. He said he may have a box truck or UPS truck delivery once a month or so. Davis asked about the location of the building on the property. Lewis said his building Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 4 of 15 would be approximately thirty to forty yards from the property line and he also planned to install a buffer. Ed Lewis, 3128 Benny Lineberry Rd., Climax, NC, father of David Lewis, said he was also in favor of the request. He said that all the necessary requirements will be met, a buffer will be installed out of consideration of his son’s neighbors, and feels it is a good proposition. 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 in opposition to the request. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Joyce said there is another machine shop located not too far from this location that has been there for several years. Cable said all the right permits have been applied for and he seeing someone make their dream a reality is what Randolph County is all about. Slusher said the proposal seems to make perfect sense. He said Lewis has a large tract of land, he is planning to provide a buffer for the neighbors and there is no opposition. 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. Cable made a second to the motion to approve the rezoning request. Joyce called the question on the motion to approve the rezoning request for Lewis and the motion was adopted unanimously and the rezoning was granted. Dale presented the third case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties. REZONING REQUEST #2020-00003644 MERIC, INC., Randleman, NC, is requesting to amend the Conditional District Permit on 8.63 acres at 9755 US Hwy 220 Bus N, Level Cross Township, Tax ID# 7767265344, Randleman Lake Watershed, Primary Growth Area. The existing Conditional District Permit allows an event center as per the site plan. The proposed Conditional District Permit amendment would specifically allow lumber and manufactured home sales as per the site plan. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present to speak in favor of the request. Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 5 of 15 Eric Davis, Randleman, NC, president of MERIC, Inc, said they have a new proposed tenant that would like to lease the existing building for lumber sales and no manufacturing. He said they would also like to have manufactured home sales on the front of the property and back parking lots. Joyce asked if the original zoning allowed lumber sales. Eric Davis answered yes. He said most recently it was an event center and by allowing this change, it would be less noisy and would probably make the neighbors happy. Vaughan asked if there would be any manufacturing allowed. Eric Davis answered no. He said it would strictly be lumber sales. Kemp Davis asked if the original zoning allowed truss manufacturing. Eric Davis answered yes. Cable asked what type of manufactured homes would be on the property. Eric Davis said there would be singlewides, doublewides, and some modular homes on display for sale. Cable asked if he would be the dealer for those homes. Eric Davis answered yes. He said he has a dealer’s license. Cable asked if there would be any vehicles obstructing traffic onto Bus 220. Eric Davis answered no. He said everything would be located behind the entrance gate. Joyce asked if there was anyone else present in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone in opposition to the request. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Kemp Davis said he was not sure how many more times this property would have to come before the Board before something works. He said Eric Davis has made an effort in trying to find a fit for the property and make it work. Kemp Davis 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. Beeson made a second to the motion to approve the rezoning request. Joyce called the question on the motion to approve the rezoning request, and the motion was adopted unanimously, and the rezoning was granted. Dale presented the fourth case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties. REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000003 Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 6 of 15 DERKSEN POULTRY, LLC, Asheboro, NC, is requesting to rezone 11.92 acres at 4656 US Hwy 64 E, Franklinville Township, Tax ID #7781997135 and 7791092197, Roger Byers subdivision lots one and two, Primary Growth Area, from HC – Highway Commercial District, HC-CD – Highway Commercial – Conditional District and RA – Residential Agricultural District to LI – Light Industrial Development. Property owner: Byers Family Trust (Kathy B Allen, Trustee) Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present to speak in favor of the request. H R Gallimore, 231 S. Fayetteville St., Asheboro, NC, representing the applicant, submitted a photograph (Exhibit 1 at the end of these minutes), reflecting an existing operation of the applicant, located on Old Cedar Falls Rd, with currently over twenty employees. He said this business would allow new employment opportunities as well, even though he was not sure how many at this time. Gallimore said the applicant’s request for rezoning meets all the Zoning and Growth Management requirements and understands they will have to meet any additional County and State regulations including water quality, buffers, and appropriate permitting. He pointed out that there are multiple properties in the surrounding area that are already zoned commercial as well. Joyce asked where the photos had been taken that had been submitted. Gallimore said they were taken at Dura-Built, LLC, Old Cedar Falls Rd, Franklinville, also owned by the applicant. He said the applicant has several companies and is an asset to Randolph County. Joyce asked if this property had originally been rezoned for the Kubota dealership. Gallimore answered yes. He said after Mr. Millikan had the rezoning approved, he found a different site for the dealership. Davis asked if there is a current business plan for the property. Gallimore said they are planning a manufacturing business for metal roofing. Cable asked how far the building would be set back on the property. Gallimore said there are no preliminary engineered site plans available at this time because it has not been rezoned, they felt it would be pre- mature. Dale said because they have not requested conditional zoning, site-plans were not required at this time even though all the setback regulations will still have to be met. Gallimore said he feels it will be low-impact for the area. Davis asked if this business would be similar to the roofing business nearby. Gallimore said it would be similar and probably a competitor. Joyce asked if raw materials would be brought in and stamped out. Gallimore said he is not familiar with the process but there would be minimal noise. Joyce said he has been in the plant up the street multiple times and it is a clean operation and minimum noise. Vaughan asked how many employees would be needed for this operation. Gallimore said Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 7 of 15 the number of employees would be dependent upon the success of the business. Joyce asked if there was anyone else present in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone in opposition to the request. Sam Reiner, 3105 Indian Springs, Asheboro, NC, said without seeing the location of a building, parking area, metal storage areas, traffic, buffers needed, and anything to do with possible drainage, he feels it is premature to rezone the property and they would like to see it remain agricultural zoning. He said several adjoining properties currently have drainage issues and is concerned that run-off from this property will worsen. Dean Staley, the pastor of First Pentecostal Church, located down the street, asked if there were any plans for water and sewer. Joyce said the Board would not be able to answer that question. Dale said the County does not provide public utilities and would not know of any plans to provide that service. Joyce said this property would have to meet all regulations through the Randolph County Health Department for septic and well approval. Terry Dezern, 3145 Indian Springs Rd, Asheboro, NC, expressed his concerns for additional water runoff from developing the property. He said the property is currently wooded and there is already a severe problem of water runoff to the adjoining properties. He said clearing the property, grading, adding structures and pavement will worsen the situation. Dezern said he is firmly against the rezoning of the property. April O’Brien, 3119 Indian Springs Rd., Asheboro, said she is strongly against the rezoning. She said her family has invested a tremendous amount of money into their property to provide an oasis for their children during this pandemic because that is all they have right now. She also said that her property is one of the lower adjoining properties which is already having major issues with water runoff. Evelyn Ford, 3144 Indian Springs Rd, Asheboro, said she has experienced issues with her well due to surrounding development and had to add a filtration system due to trash in her water. She said she has concerns about having even more issues because of additional wells and septic. Jonathan O’Brien- 3119 Indian Springs Rd, Asheboro, said the previous rezoning request had detailed drawings for the use of the property and he has concerns about the uncertainty of this request. He said they do not know the hours of operation and there are no lighting plans that may affect adjoining property owners who will be in direct sight of this location. Dale said Mr. O’Brien has made the right observation. He said the applicant has disclosed his intended use, however, with straight zoning, anything within the permitted uses of light industrial zoning would be allowed with no conditions. Modlin asked what the required buffer requirements would be for this zoning. Dale said he was unsure of the exact buffer requirement, but some minimums would have to be met. Modlin asked about the drainage issues. Dale said the drainage issues would be handled by the State. Joyce said the State would look at the situation and their requirements will Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 8 of 15 sometimes improve an existing situation. Modlin mentioned his personal experience with a situation of water runoff. He said if your property has created a situation of interfering with the natural flow of water, the State will get involved to resolve the issues. Beeson asked if grading permits would be issued for the job site. Dale said there would be building permits issued by the County and the Building Inspections Department may look at grading, but water issues would be handled by the State. Morgan said the County would regulate some of his concerns. He said there will be regulated setbacks for the structures and buffer requirements to be followed but the specific hours of operation and lighting would be dependent on the use of the property. Joyce asked if there was anyone else present in opposition to the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked Gallimore if he could come up and address some of the questions regarding the request. Gallimore said there would be no Sunday hours of operation and no third shift. He said their current plan is to be in operation from 6:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. He said there would be lighting for theft prevention but nothing excessive. He also said that if he were living in the adjoining neighborhood, knowing Derksen as well as he does and his operations, he would have no reservations about his development plan. Cable asked Gallimore if anyone from the audience had reached out to him with concerns. Gallimore said someone had contacted Derksen with concerns about a poultry business because of the name of his company, which is not his initiative. Joyce commented on the photo presented to the Board as being a clean-looking operation. Gallimore said he provided the photos for that reason, it usually helps to see how someone maintains their current operation and Derksen does a great job. Cable asked Gallimore if he thought there would be any lighting issues. Gallimore answered no. He said he is not aware of any complaints from the neighbors at Derksen’s other business location on Old Cedar Falls Rd. He said they must be mindful of potential visibility problems for highway traffic due to lighting as well. Gallimore said that Derksen will work with the County and the State to ensure that all rules and regulations are met, and he wants to be a good neighbor. Davis said there is no doubt that the properties in the area are commercial-type properties and will continue to increase due to the location of the highway. He said this property is located adjacent to a subdivision and with the request of straight zoning, the neighbors are skeptical of the result. Gallimore said he could understand their concerns but when someone spends this kind of money on a piece of property, they need a little flexibility on the use of the property without specific conditions in the event the original plan is not successful. Davis said there are problems with having conditions on a piece of property if the proposal does not work out. He referred to the previous case where MERIC, Inc. has been before the Board multiple times because a specific condition to the zoning has not worked out although the Board does want to try and protect the adjoining homeowners. Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 9 of 15 Gallimore said he understands the concerns and feels if the right buffers are put into place, they can both co-exist. Davis said he would hope that Derksen would provide ample buffering to protect the homeowners. Gallimore said he thinks the Board can rest assured of that. He also said that he did not feel that the topography would allow anything too close to the adjoining homes. Having no additional questions for the applicant, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Cable said his main concern is one of the ladies with small children. He said he knows it would not be the same but would like to see a good buffer that allows them to co-exist. Beeson said in regards to the water runoff and drainage, the permitting requirements and regulations from the County and State for this development, will hopefully improve the existing situation for the adjoining properties. Joyce agreed. Cable said the Board has seen multiple times where the development of a project has improved a situation for adjoining properties. He also said that Gallimore has come before the Board on multiple occasions to represent a developer and has not known him to be untruthful and represents clients that are straight and honest and does not see why his current client would be any different. He said his biggest concerns are the buffers and lighting and feel the applicant will do what is necessary to co-exist. Modlin said this project would also be in the right area for commercial traffic rather than being located on a rural road in a country setting. Joyce said there is good visibility in both directions as well. Cable 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 (including the water study, all NCDOT approvals and changes to residential covenants as discussed), also incorporated into the motion and that the request is also consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Slusher made a second to the motion to approve the rezoning request. Joyce called the question on the motion to approve the rezoning request for Derksen Poultry, LLC, and the motion was adopted unanimously, and the rezoning was granted. Dale presented the last case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties. REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000014 Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 10 of 15 MAC WILSON PROPERTY, LLC, Franklinville, NC, is requesting to rezone 3.62 acres located at 1815 Pleasant Ridge Rd, Coleridge Township, Tax ID# 8700198488, Secondary Growth Area, from LI-CU – Light Industrial – Conditional Use and RA – Residential Agricultural District to LI - CD – Light Industrial – Conditional District. (The existing Conditional Use Permit allows the construction of a 40 ft. by 80 ft. building for warehouse storage for related furniture business.) The proposed Conditional District Permit would specifically allow the assembly of purification cartridges and replacement parts and service items for high-pressure breathing compressors as per the site plan. Property owner: Hellenic Property Ventures, LLC Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present to speak in favor of the request. Gary Williams, president of Mac Wilson Properties, LLC, and one of his partners, William Johnson, were both present. Williams said he and his partners are currently in the process of trying to purchase the property located on Pleasant Ridge Rd for one of their companies, (Blue Spartan Products), which manufactures different styles and sizes of disposable filtration cartridges for special breathing air compressors, used by firemen, scuba divers, and even paintball participants. He said in addition to their manufacturing, they buy and re- sell other types of air filters, compressor oils, and parts. He explained the process and showed the product to the Board. Williams said Blue Spartan Products have been in business for about one and one-half years and currently have only about five to six hundred square feet of space dedicated to the assembly of these products within another building, located on Faith Rock Rd, Franklinville, NC, which they have outgrown. Williams said the rezoning would be low impact and positive for the neighborhood. He said they would have to renovate the building to accommodate their needs and clean up the outside of the property for better curb appeal. He said all the manufacturing would be done inside the building, there would be four to six employees, shipments would be handled by UPS and FedEx trucks, and an occasional tractor-trailer. He said most of the shipments needing a tractor-trailer would be re-located to their business on Faith Rock Rd. Cable asked about hours of operation. Williams said they currently work Monday through Thursday, ten hours a day although currently they have had to work some overtime on Fridays and this past Saturday was the first Saturday they have had to work. He said the normal should be Monday through Friday, eight to ten hours a day with only one shift. He said in the event they needed to work additional shifts, the neighbors would not even know they were there. He said there is nothing loud and obnoxious about the facility and everything is done inside the building. Cable asked if there would be any compressor noise. Williams said they may be a low- pressure compressor, but the current building already has a covered area where a compressor was previously located on the backside of the building. He said it would not be any different or above and beyond what was already there. Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 11 of 15 Cable asked if by moving to a new facility, they would become more efficient and possibly scale back the hours. Williams said it would probably not scale back the hours because they are in the infancy stage of the business and orders continue to grow because there are not but a few companies that manufacture the product. Davis asked if he was handling chemicals. Williams answered no. He said they assemble the product from purchased materials. Joyce asked if there was anyone else present in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone in opposition to the request. Brenda McMasters, 1366 Park Rd, Ramseur, NC, said her property backs up to this property. She said when the property was rezoned last time, it was supposed to be used for warehouse storage for the furniture business and has changed to what appears to be a trucking terminal. She submitted photos (Exhibits 2A – 2H at the end of these minutes), to demonstrate the number of trucks and the current appearance of the property. She said the warehouse was only used for a month or two as it was originally approved and then remained empty until this trucking terminal moved to the location. She also said constant traffic and noise is coming from the property and they would like to see it used for agriculture. Davis asked who is the current tenant of the property. Brenda McMasters said she was unsure, but it appears that it is being used as a trucking terminal. Davis said the applicant is not asking to continue to use the property in the same manner as it is currently being used. Brenda McMasters said they still do not want noise in the area, and they want the property to remain agricultural. Modlin asked if the photos that were submitted were taken currently. Brenda McMasters said they were taken earlier today. She said the building is supposed to be used for storage and has only one box truck on the property. Dale said he thinks the complaint is a separate issue and something Code Enforcement may need to look at. He said the current applicant is not operating the trucking terminal, and what he is requesting seems less intense than even the warehouse that was approved. Brenda McMasters said again, they are concerned about the noise and want to see it used as agriculture. Dale said he would have Code Enforcement investigate it. Ronald McMasters, 4430 Ridgetop Rd, Ramseur, NC, said he lives adjacent to the proposed property and has concerns about air compressor noise because his bedroom is less than 175 ft. from the building. He said currently trucks are coming in and out all hours of the night, blowing horns, leaving trucks running for an hour or hour and a half at the time, rattling his house. He said he would like something to be done about the current situation. Joyce said he understands if the applicant purchases the property, the trucks currently on the property will be removed and there will be a low-pressure compressor on the property, with only four to six employees. Robert McMasters said if everything is located inside, there should not be any noise, but he understood the applicant to say he would have a Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 12 of 15 high-pressure compressor, which sounds like it will be a lot of noise. William Jarman, 1820 Pleasant Ridge Rd, Ramseur, said he moved here from Concord to get away from the City. He said he raises cows, goats, and chickens. Jarman said a small number of employees was mentioned and then it was made clear that the business was growing. He questioned the number of employees that would be allowed due to growth. He said when he moved here, he was told the building would be used for storage and only one box truck on the property, and trucks are coming and going and partying all hours of the night. He also said he has installed a $7,000.00 privacy fence between his home and the business because employees come out to eat lunch and throw down trash that blows onto his property. He said he has worked hard all his life to get where he is and cannot keep moving. He also said adding more industry is going to lower his property value. Ronnie Kidd, 1857 Pleasant Ridge Rd, Ramseur, NC said he has lived on his property for over forty years. He said the agreement for the warehouse building was that it was supposed to be used for cushion cutting and then hauled off and as far as he knew the property has never been rezoned. He said it should be agriculture zoning. He said he knows Williams and does not blame him for wanting to make a living, but the noise and wastes will affect the neighbors. He asked what guarantees he would have that the business will not affect his farm and water run-off will not affect his property. He said the neighbors are currently having issues with noise from this property and they do not know what type of noise will be created from this new business. Kidd said he would like for the Board to understand where the neighbors are coming from. He said the property has been agricultural for years and asked for it to remain agricultural because bringing industry into a residential area does not help property values. Modlin said he knew exactly where Kidd was coming from because the farm that he grew up on was taken by the State for a highway. Cable asked Kidd if he or any of his neighbors have contacted the County to complain about the current situation. Kidd answered no. Jarman spoke out from the audience, he said he called the County and was told to bring proof of the problem and it would be investigated. Robert McMasters said Williams had mentioned there may have been an air compressor on the backside of the building and it was a band saw at one time. Jarman said he already has problems with run-off onto his property which he bought into but if they build an additional building and additional parking it will worsen the situation for him. Joyce asked the applicant if he was planning on building an additional building or expanding the existing building on the property. Williams answered no. Joyce told Jarman if expanding or new construction is needed in the future, the applicant will have to come back before the Board. Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 13 of 15 Cable said the neighborhood agrees that there is an undesirable situation on the property now and the applicant’s request may be a solution to the problem. Kidd said he did not get an answer regarding the water run-off and if anything would be done about the current situation. Joyce said it is the Board’s understanding that there will be no grading or building on the property that will require changes for the applicant. Joyce asked Williams if he would come back up to the podium and answer some of the Board’s questions. Modlin asked what would be done with the debris from sawing the plastic parts and if it is collected and contained. Williams answered yes. He said in a full eight-hour day there is little waste. He said it is mainly a sweeping cleanup and a final clean-up by vacuum. Cable asked Williams if he was aware of the trucking problems that are currently on the property. Williams said he is familiar and would like the neighbors to know that all the current issues will be gone, he intends to improve the curb appeal and he knows that he will not be allowed to build a new building or expand the existing building on the property without coming before the Board again. He said he would be making the parking situation better by adding gravel, large trucks will no longer be on the property, only his employees will be parked on the property during the day. Williams said he would also like to address the compressor concerns. He said if the compressor located on the outside of the building is a concern, he can locate one inside of the building. He said mowing lawns will more than likely make more noise than his entire business will generate. Cable asked if his business would own the property and have full access to the property. Williams answered yes. Cable asked if he would enforce security on the property and prosecute to the full extent of the law for trespassing. Williams answered yes. Cable said the neighbors have legitimate concerns regarding the current situation. He said when the property was rezoned, it was not approved for what is currently taking place on the property. He said the pictures that have been presented tell the story, but the Board was unaware of the situation. He said Williams has heard the concerns and feels he can remedy the situation with his request. Williams agreed. He said he feels he will improve the current situation for the neighbors. He said would like to offer an open invitation to anyone that would like to see the operation in action. Beeson said there were questions regarding the growth of his company and asked if Dura- Built would remain at the other location. Williams answered yes. He said all the neighbors’ complaints should go away if they are approved to move forward with the request. Cable said sometimes people accuse the Board of having their minds made up before the hearing process has even begun and he has expressed many times that is not the case. He said he feels the neighbors have come before the Board with legitimate complaints. He said if the complaints had been made known to the Planning Department, someone could have addressed the situation because the current use of the property was not intended by Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 14 of 15 the Board’s approval. He said Williams has shined a light on the entire situation and this should become a much better situation for the neighbors. Cable said the Board wants business, agriculture, and families in Randolph County and everyone must co-exist, and this request may be delivering the perfect solution. Williams said he has driven by the property multiple times within the last thirty days and realized the current use was not intended for the property. He said it appears to be nothing more than a parking lot for tractor-trailers that are continuously moving in and out. He said all of that will be gone and the neighbors will never have to see it again. Cable asked if anyone were to trespass, would he prosecute to the full extent of the law. Williams answered yes. He said they have their camera systems that will be located on the property. Cable asked if Williams would still have an open invitation for the neighbors to see his operation. Williams answered yes. He said if they have questions or concerns regarding his operation, he welcomes them to come by and see it for themselves. Modlin asked Williams if he was planning to pave the parking because there are questions about water run-off. Williams said that he would be graveling the parking at this time because of the poor conditions due to the large trucks and would follow all necessary rules and regulations if decided to pave in the future. Joyce said they feel bad for the neighbors and what they are currently going through, and this should be a welcomed improvement for them. Having no additional questions for the applicant, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Beeson said he feels Williams proposal will be a much better situation for the neighbors. Joyce agreed. He said the change will be low impact, improve traffic, and an overall improvement to the area. Vaughan said she also agrees and likes to see a positive outcome in any situation. Slusher said in all his years on the Board, he has not seen a business owner give his business card to someone who was originally in opposition of a request. Vaughan said that is a good way to start a relationship. Cable said he feels good about the results and would like to make a motion. Cable 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 (including the water study, all NCDOT approvals and changes to residential covenants as discussed), also incorporated into the motion and that the request is also consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Vaughan made a second to the motion to approve the Planning Board Minutes February 9, 2021 Page 15 of 15 rezoning request. Joyce called the question on the motion to approve the rezoning request for Mac Wilson Property, LLC, and the motion was adopted unanimously, and the rezoning was granted. Joyce announced that Reid Pell, chairman, should have completed his surgery and recovery and should be present for the next Board meeting. Having no further business, Joyce called for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Modlin made the motion to adjourn with Slusher making the second to the motion. Joyce called the question on the motion to adjourn and the motion was adopted unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:22 p.m. with 24 citizens present.

That the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved; 2.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Randolph County Planning Board has caused this Special Use Permit to be issued in its name and the property owners do hereby accept this Special Use Permit, together with all its conditions as binding on them and their successors in interest. _______________________________ _______________________________ Randolph County Planning Director Chair, Randolph County Planning Board _______________________________ _______________________________ Clerk to Planning Board Date COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY DAVID LEWIS REZONING REQUEST #2020-00003643 NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD Pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to RBO – CD – Rural Business Overlay – Conditional District as described in the application of David Lewis are consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: 1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan. A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southeast area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Rural Growth Area. Rural Growth Areas and rural and agricultural in nature and consists on large undeveloped tracts of land. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 1.7 Planning and development decisions should be based on the principal of promoting investment in Randolph County to expand employment opportunities while preserving and improving the quality of life for all county residents. Consistency Analysis: The parcel for this request is a large tract of land and by approving the request it would promote investment in the community and also potentially expand employment opportunities for citizens in the community. Policy 4.3 Individual Rural Business or Highway Commercial rezoning decisions will depend upon the scale of the proposed development as it relates to the specific site and location weighed against impacts to adjoining rural land uses. Consistency Analysis: The request is on a large parcel of land and would provide for buffers for the adjacent rural land uses and residences. 2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis: The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the Ordinance, the Plan and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within the County. _______________________________ _______________________________ Randolph County Planning Director Chair, Randolph County Planning Board _______________________________ _______________________________ Clerk to Planning Board Date COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY MERIC, INC REZONING REQUEST #2020-00003644 NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD Pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to HC – CD – Highway Commercial – Conditional District as described in the application of MERIC, Inc., are consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: 1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan. A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map B. The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southeast area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Primary Growth Area. Primary Growth Areas generally lie along major transportation corridors and have access to urban services. This parcel is along US Hwy 220 Bus N which is a major transportation corridor. C. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 4.1 Provide for sites in Randolph County jurisdiction where rural commercial activity can locate; with the goal of increasing economic activity; job creation, and the provision of services to the rural community. Consistency Analysis: The property at the request has been used commercially for several years with the last approved use being as an events center. The new proposed use would allow the existing building to be reused increasing economic activity, job creation and also provide surfaces such as lumber and mobile home sales to the surrounding community. Policy 4.2 Highway oriented commercial uses should be clustered along segments of arterial streets and contain land uses that are mutually compatible and reinforcing in use and design. They should be designed in a way that minimizes signage, access points and excessive lengths of commercial strip development. Consistency Analysis: As previously stated, the property at the request location has been zoned for commercial activities for some time. The area also has other commercial operations. The approval of this request would be less intense than the events center and produce less noise pollution. 2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis: The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the Ordinance, the Plan and applicable General Statutes.

Consistency Analysis: The property at the request location has been zoned HC – Highway Commercial, HC – CD – Highway Commercial – Conditional District for several years with one of the parcels being used for commercial activities and the other rezoned for commercial uses but the property was never developed. The property is also located in an area that has a large amount of industrial and other commercial operations. Since the land use patterns have long been established for this area of the County, this request will further increase economic activity and job creation in the area. Policy 4.2 Highway oriented commercial uses should be clustered along segments of arterial streets and contain land uses that are mutually compatible and reinforcing in use and design. They should be designed in a way that minimizes signage, access points and excessive lengths of commercial strip development. Consistency Analysis: As previously stated, the property at the request location has been zoned for commercial activities and has had commercial activities for some time.

The warehouse has been closed for several years. Approving this request would allow the existing building to be reused increasing economic activity, job creation and also allow for the creation of a business that could be of less impact to the surrounding residential community.

TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000241 The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a Legislative Hearing on the request by GLANDON FOREST EQUITY, LLC, Raleigh, NC, and their request to rezone 2.00 acres at the intersection of US Hwy 311 and Cedar Square Rd, New Market Township, Tax ID #7737131258 and 7737133652, L A Bowman subdivision lots 2-7, 61-64 plus another tract, Primary Growth Area, Randleman Lake Watershed, from RA – Residential Agricultural District to HC-CD – Highway Commercial - Conditional District. The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow a retail store as per site plan. Property Owner: Kermit R Hayes The Randolph County Technical Review Committee has met on the above-listed case, and after review of all applicable standards contained in the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the Randolph County Growth Management Plan, the Technical Review Committee finds that this request:  Meets all technical requirements of both the Ordinance and the Plan;  Is consistent, reasonable, and in the public interest; and  Should be approved by the Randolph County Planning Board. The following policies from the Randolph County Growth Management Plan were identified by the Technical Review Committee as supporting this conclusion.

COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY GLANDON FOREST EQUITY, LLC REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000241 NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD According to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to HC-CD – Highway Commercial – Conditional District as described in the application of Glandon Forest Equity, LLC, are consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: 1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan. A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the northwest area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Primary Growth Area. Primary Growth Areas generally lie along major transportation corridors and have access to urban services. This parcel is along US Hwy 311 and is also close to Interstate 74 which is a major transportation corridor. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 4.1 Provide for sites in Randolph County jurisdiction where rural commercial activity can locate; with the goal of increasing economic activity; job creation, and the provision of services to the rural community. Consistency Analysis: The proposed location for this proposed retail store is supported by the Randolph County Growth Management Plan by allowing for the orderly development of an area of the property that will increase economic activity, job creation and the provision of services and goods to this rural community. Policy 4.6 Compatible land uses such as rural neighborhood retail and service establishments located close to general residential areas should be considered during the rezoning process with the general goal of reducing automobile travel distances and promoting better livability in the community. Consistency Analysis: The proposed location for this retail store would help reduce the travel distances that citizens must now undertake to be able to have the necessities of living in this area. There are some small retail stores currently in the area and the addition of another retail store could possibly help the existing stores and promote better livability in the area. 2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis: The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the Ordinance, the Plan, and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within the County. _______________________________ _______________________________ Randolph County Planning Director Chair, Randolph County Planning Board _______________________________ _______________________________ Clerk to Planning Board Date MOTION TO APPROVE A CONDITIONAL DISTRICT REZONING NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD “I make the motion to APPROVE this 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.” If making a second to the motion, please change to say, “I second the motion . . .” and continue reading the rest of the motion.

TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000246 The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a Legislative Hearing on the request by TJTR PROPERTIES, LLC, Asheboro, NC, and to amend the existing Conditional Zoning District at 2863 NC Hwy 134, Tax ID# 7657589747, 21.24 acres, Secondary Growth Area, LI-CD – Light Industrial – Conditional District, to also allow two 40 ft. by 100 ft. warehouses and a 14 ft. by 28 ft. accessory building as per site plan. (The existing Conditional Zoning District permit allows a 40 ft. by 100 ft. building for the sale and manufacturing of portable accessory buildings as per site plan along with no billboard advertising signs.) The Randolph County Technical Review Committee has met on the above-listed case, and after review of all applicable standards contained in the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the Randolph County Growth Management Plan, the Technical Review Committee finds that this request:  Meets all technical requirements of both the Ordinance and the Plan;  Is consistent, reasonable, and in the public interest; and  Should be approved by the Randolph County Planning Board. The following policies from the Randolph County Growth Management Plan were identified by the Technical Review Committee as supporting this conclusion. Policy 3.1 Industrial development should be on land that is physically suitable and has unique locational advantages for industry. Advanced planning for the identification of such land should be encouraged. Policy 3.4 Warehousing, storage and distribution facilities should have direct access to appropriate thoroughfares and should be visually buffered according to their location.

COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY TJTR PROPERTIES, LLC, REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000246 NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD According to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to LI-CD – Light Industrial – Conditional District as described in the application of TJTR Properties, LLC, are consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: 1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan. A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southwest area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Secondary Growth Area. Secondary Growth Areas are predominately areas that are transitional in nature in that they are changing from a rural, agricultural area to more of a mixed use type of development. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 3.1 Industrial development should be on land that is physically suitable and has unique locational advantages for industry. Advanced planning for the identification of such land should be encouraged. Consistency Analysis: The property for this request is suitable for this type of operation as the property was rezoned for this type of operation several years ago. The location of the request, along with the adjoining commercial uses, encourages commercial development in this area and prevents having pockets of commercial or industrial zoning scattered through-out the County. Policy 3.4 Warehousing, storage and distribution facilities should have direct access to appropriate thoroughfares and should be visually buffered according to their location. Consistency Analysis: The request location, with its proximity to NC Hwy 139, Interstate 73 74, and US Hwy 220 S, affords the site to direct access to major transportation corridors and would limit the amount of commercial traffic in residential neighborhoods. 2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis: The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the Ordinance, the Plan, and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within the County. _______________________________ _______________________________ Randolph County Planning Director Chair, Randolph County Planning Board _______________________________ _______________________________ Clerk to Planning Board Date MOTION TO APPROVE A CONDITIONAL DISTRICT REZONING NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD “I make the motion to APPROVE this 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.” If making a second to the motion, please change to say, “I second the motion . . .” and continue reading the rest of the motion.

TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000075 The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a Legislative Hearing on the request by NORMA C PIERCE HEIRS, Trinity, NC, and their request to rezone 29.04 acres located between Flint Hill Rd, Beeson Farm Rd and Beckerdite Rd, Back Creek Township, be rezoned from RA – Residential Agricultural District to CVOE-CD – Conventional Subdivision Overlay Exclusive – Conditional District. Tax ID # 7724675402. Secondary Growth Area. The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow a 27-lot site-built subdivision with minimum house size of 1,300 sq. ft. as per site plan. The Randolph County Technical Review Committee has met on the above-listed case, and after review of all applicable standards contained in the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the Randolph County Growth Management Plan, the Technical Review Committee finds that this request: • Meets all technical requirements of both the Ordinance and the Plan; • Is consistent, reasonable, and in the public interest; and • Should be approved by the Randolph County Planning Board. Based upon information available at the time, the Technical Review Committee recommended approval of the rezoning request. However, after further review of issues raised by the community and the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the Technical Review Committee is now split on the recommendation for this rezoning request. Specifically, North Carolina General Statutes 153A, Part 3, that authorize County zoning states, “for the purpose of promoting the public health, safety, morals and general welfare” and part of the Technical Review Committee now has safety concerns regarding the number of connections to the existing State maintained roads. The following policies from the Randolph County Growth Management Plan were identified by the Technical Review Committee as supporting this conclusion for approval of the request. Policy 6.13 Conventional Residential subdivisions are anticipated of similar housing characteristics to the community. 38 Policy 6.14 Residential subdivisions should, in order to promote efficiencies in the delivery of urban services, be encouraged to develop in a fashion which minimizes “leap frog” development (i.e. leaving large vacant areas between developments). The following policies from the Randolph County Growth Management Plan were identified by the Technical Review Committee as supporting this conclusion for denial of the request. Policy 6.12 Factors to be considered in major subdivision approval in Primary and Secondary Growth Areas should include suitability of soils, access to major thoroughfares, the potential availability of public services and facilities and community compatibility. Policy 6.22 New driveway connections should be designed in a way to minimize new locations on existing public roads.

I have some concerns over the traffic impact of the planned development. It seems like the road infrastructure is already not suitable for the amount of traffic received. My fear is adding increased housing density will further this issue. My wife and I built our current residence at 2829 Sawyer Rd a year ago. Prior to that, we owned a home at 3006 Wesley Farm Ln for 10 years, which is even closer to the proposed development. Our prior house was also in the Hearthwood neighborhood, which has future planned access to Beckerdite Rd in the vicinity of the proposed development as well. Since moving to our new residence, my wife and I are incredibly nervous when traveling down Beckerdite Road. We experience oncoming vehicles in our lane almost daily. We both use the road to access Highway 74, as both of our jobs lead us to High Point, Greensboro, and at times, Asheboro. I presume this will be the case for many future homeowners in the proposed development as well. Before finding out about the proposed development, we were already worried about what Beckerdite road will look like in 5 years when our daughter will be a teenage driver. We are already nervous about her driving with the ever presence of mobile devices, along with other drivers having increased opioid usage. However, the situation on Beckerdite seems to be beyond this. Many of the drivers that find themselves in the lane of oncoming traffic is the result of a curvy road and an almost nonexistent shoulder. If anyone is towing a trailer (many construction guys around here), or worse, if a large tractor or combine is oncoming, it’s impossible to avoid them without swerving into oncoming traffic. Additionally, there’s no where to pull off on the side. Speed doesn’t seem to be as much a factor as the lack of space. The trend for increased traffic in this area isn’t just residential. There are several businesses along Beckerdite Road as well. There as some long-term businesses such as Snyder Farms restaurant, Farlow Oil, and Sophia Barbershop, and more-recently, the County issued a zoning variance to Triple Target Gun Range. These businesses account for traffic along Beckerdite Rd as well. The only other concerns we have are environmental impacts. We hope that no variances or waivers are provided in achieving the requested development density, as it relates to waste water (primary fields and repair areas), erosion control/water runoff, and other considerations. Although, having gone through that process myself, I’m aware you guys have that under control and do a great job. I assume on the water supply, the neighborhood would likely use Davidson Water, since their supply line runs nearby? While I am involved in the business community of the triad, with most of my clients in the surrounding region, I don’t endorse endless growth. I feel growth should be strategic and well thought-out. For that reason, I don’t envy you guys having to account for all of the variables involved with zoning and planning. I appreciate the work you do. Your consideration in the traffic pattern for the planned development is greatly appreciated as well. If I need to reach out to another agency, like the NCDOT, please let me know. I’ll be happy to contact them separately if that’s best. 2 Best Regards, Brandon Hedrick Brandon Hedrick, CPA | Tax Director Smith Leonard PLLC D (336) 821-1358 M (336) 870-4704 HIGH POINT | LEXINGTON | WINSTON-SALEM Confidentiality Notice: The information contained in this e-mail transmittal is privileged and confidential intended for the addressee only.

From:Janna Allen <janna.m.allen@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, February 15, 2021 8:58 PM To:Planning DL Subject:Neighborhood Information Meeting: Citizen Concern Form Name: Cameron and Janna Allen Address: 6448 Flint Hill Rd, Sophia, NC 27350 Phone: 336-337-2861 & 336-944-4934 Email: callen3615@gmail.com, janna.m.allen@gmail.com Rezoning request applicant name: Pierce Estates, #2021-00000075 Rezoning request location: Parcel # 7724675402 Concerns/Comments: First of all, thank you for the time and effort that has been taken to research the impact this development will have on our community of Flint Hill. Our community is made up of several families that have lived here for many generations and I believe we all feel the same about preserving that history, heritage, and beauty as best we can. We live at 6448 Flint Hill Rd, which directly adjoins the property to be developed. We have thought through the different scenarios of what might happen to the land and hoped for the least invasive outcome, but never envisioned it being this large of a development. We are concerned with the level of flooding that would occur on our property, increasing in both intensity and frequency, if this development is allowed to proceed as presented. The density of the proposed development will drastically increase impervious areas including the proposed roofs, driveways, and roads, that will directly impact the runoff downstream creating flashy flows and subsequent stream bank erosion leading to a loss of property, as well as increased pollution downstream and increased flooding. We request that the density be reduced to 1 home per 3 to 4 acres to mitigate this issue. In addition, according to the proposed development, it appears that piping the stream will be necessary for lots 20, 21, 22, and 23 to develop and make the lots usable. By piping the stream we will see increased velocity of water running off the subject property onto our property creating increased erosion and scouring of the stream channel which will increase the depth and width of the creek creating a hazardous situation. We are concerned with having 4/5 properties bordering the back of our land and the liabilities that will come along with that. The topography of our land makes it hard to see the eastside of our property increasing our concern that if anyone were to come across it, specifically during a rain event, it would be dangerous for the individual and put us as property owners at risk. The proposed development has direct and long lasting negative impacts to our property, changing the entire use, safety, and value of our land. 2 Another concern of ours is the significant increase in traffic to the intersection and three separate roads that border the P.E. property. Flint Hill Rd may be a ‘back’ road, but it is a major transit route for many people traveling from Asheboro to Archdale/High Point. We were very surprised with how busy this road has been since we moved here. It is also an area that many people enjoy riding over Caraway mountain by bike, motorcycle and sportscars. All throughout the day and week it stays steady with traffic. There have been multiple occasions when deer, cats, or the neighbor’s dog were hit by cars traveling at relatively high speed along Flint Hill Road. If you allow the addition of 27 homes, 7 of those being accessed in the blind curve on Flint Hill Rd, then we fear for the safety of any children, pets and people, in general, that will be living along the street. We are also concerned with increased congestion for both intersections. There will be 16 more driveways and cars that will be coming directly onto each of those 3 roads, with an estimated increase in 162 total vehicle trips a day from the development, according to the development impact analysis that was provided; an analysis that we are concerned is not entirely accurate. I am curious how Beckerdite Rd was found to have the highest traffic count over Flint Hill and Beeson Farm, when the latter two roads are main transits to cities and highways. It begs to question the validity of the overall report. There are more concerns that we have and that many of our neighbors in the community have brought to light. We strongly believe there must be a better scenario than the one that has been presented. Although, we would love to see the property stay as is, we are not against the property being developed. We are concerned that the proposal for 27 homes will adversely affect this community in safety, value, and environmental ways. The few developments that have been added to this area have been off of main roads, on larger lots and of improved value. These proposed homes will be limited in size and quality based on the size of the lots proposed, which will have an adverse effect on the rest of the community’s property values. It would be more beneficial for our community if the P.E. property was developed to have less lots to accommodate for larger homes. Therefore, we respectfully request the density be reduced to 1 home per 3 to 4 acres. Fewer homes on that property would lessen the road congestion, result in less water runoff issues and retain the general rural atmosphere the residents in the neighborhood enjoy. There are no economic changes coming to this area to justify the need for more homes and there is not a housing shortage in Flint Hill or the surrounding communities. The housing market is doing extremely well and construction costs are currently high, but that is not a reason to damage and take advantage of small county communities. As public officials and servants to your county and local communities, we hope that it would be the highest priority to make a decision that would be most beneficial to the community you serve and not for what will financially benefit a small number of people that do not live in our community.

County , about the meeting .... why is that ? Concerned Citizen of Flint Hill Community : My name is Lori Canoy Weatherman. I am a concerned citizen of what is happening in my neighborhood .The county had a meeting which I was unable to attend due to work . My concerns are as to what is happening with the rural countryside of Flint Hill community Our community has 3-4 developments in it within a mile from where this one will go , which most are full and the other people are still building in one . I know that my aunt held on to this property for years . The Forestry has their beautiful trees planted on it . What will people do for sewage ? Will they have their own ? I was told they would need their own septic tanks , or will they slide the sewage system into our community which tax payers will have pay for? How do you get 27 homes in a 29 acre without it going onto land of other homes ? Why is it that when an individual wants to sell their home or build onto their land they need 5 acres ? Why is that ? but yet a builder can build 27 homes on top of each other ? My question is this , why can’t they be bigger homes , more property acreage ? How is there one entrance from Flint Hill with a cul de sac that all the homes around the cul de sac have access to Flint Hill rd ? Is that the correct way for having that passed ? Why do you say that there are 1400.00 vehicles on this road per day, knowing there are more than that . Does the land perk? Why not put a school there? Help the community The schools are not at full capacity because of COVID . Some have più led their children out to go to private schools because they are open . When this pandemic has became a memory , the schools will be over crowed again , and with homes at 1300sq ft , there will be that situation again So why not raise the acreage per lot Why overcrowd a rural area with 27 homes? Why? Is it for the property tax? Is it because they are “looking after human nature? “ Is it because it is a win win for everyone involved in the selling buying and building ? Who is protecting our wildlife when they cut all these trees? 2 Hawks, deer, all types of birds, all kinds of wildlife . So for me this can still happen but I feel that less than an acre per lot to an acre is too small . People might as well move into an apartment complex if all they want is that amount of room in a home and land . It to me is a money maker for the buyer and seller other than what is best for the people that are settled here for years .

Many families along with myself have many concerns with this rezoning for this development. If this development is approved safety concerns are so visible with 16 driveway entering onto Beckerdite Rd, Beeson Farm Rd and Flint Hill Rd in Sophia. As you know Beckerdite Rd. is a well traveled road with 1600 cars passing on it daily. All three roads have a limited sight issue when pulling out onto them with many hills and curves. If this developer is approved they are proposing 16 driveways to enter/exit around the perimeter of 29 acres. Most all subdivisions have one entrance into them which is much safer for everyone in the community. Our roads will be much safer with less congestion and with less driveways surrounding these three well traveled roads. SAFETY is our main concern to stop so many entrances to these roads. We would like to see the covenants be more in line with the surrounding of the subdivisions in this community. Less homes with larger sq. ft., Homes be a minimum of 1600-1700 sg ft., closed in carports, paved driveways, no aggressive breed of dogs and dogs contained, NO unsightly junk in yard. These homes need to be more in line with the surroundings area. Most people have worked hard to have these nice homes and this standard type of development will decrease their property value. We also need to keep our schools in our thought for our children with more overcrowding being an issue already. Neighbor's close to the development area to the are concerned with the water coming from Archdale as of now. Water being shut off for different reasons and water pressure being so minimal. With 27 more home what will it be for the other neighbors water issues. Thank you for your time and taking all these into consideration for a safer and happier community for everyone involved.

I’m not sure anything can be done at this time to add comments to the agenda. I would like to bring to the board’s attention, that Hearthwood Development, which is already in place, has over 40 vacant buildings sites, and is less than 7/10 of a mile from the proposed Pierce Estates. The argument for needing more homesites in the area, isn’t a great argument with these sitting vacant. I know the developer of Hearthwood continues to build, and I’m sure he’ll do so as quickly as he gets contracts for new construction. I think even more important, is that the development model and plan for Hearthwood was much better, as none of the homesites had direct driveway access to main roads. Hearthwood also provided open areas, allowing the development to be more aesthetically pleasing. I suspect if the developers of Pierce Estates would propose something similar, there would be much less pushback from the surrounding community in terms of property values, quality of life, aesthetics, and traffic concerns. I know you have access, but for easy reference, attached is a plat of Hearthwood.

There are curves, blind spots, and hills that cause trouble when traveling these roads already, and I feel that adding this many driveways would only create a more hazardous situation. Bringing in this many houses would not only create traffic issues, it would also mean more population for our schools. Randleman is already overcrowded and doesn't need anymore students. We can't reduce class size if we keep adding students and have no room to put them. Therefore, I feel education would suffer due to overcrowding of the schools. I also feel this would decrease the property value of the houses that already exist in this area. The average size house is 1700 sq. feet and the proposal is for speck houses of 1300 sq ft., therefore, property value in this area would decrease. Davidson Water ends at my driveway, and I am currently connected to their water supply. I feel with this many houses on the water system it would create more problems than we already have. I hate waking up to no water due to water line problems. We already have issues with this and I feel more houses would just increase the problem. We are a country/farming community with wooded areas all around, and I think it would be a shame to have this much construction in this area. This land had a contract and was planted with pines and has wildlife throughout the area. If they were to clear all the trees, it would take away many homes for the wildlife that is living there now. These are a few of the concerns I have about this proposal, with the main one being the traffic issues. Thank you for considering blocking this rezoning request. Paige Linthicum 1 Mangum, Timothy V.

(Hollow Ridge subdivision) in Sophia, I would like to voice my concerns. The proposed subdivision at the intersections of Flint Hill Rd., Beeson Farm Rd., and Beckerdite Rd. is a very dangerous design. 16 individual driveways accessing 2 busy intersection areas is a definite hazard. People already don't stop at the intersection on Beckerdite and Beeson Farm Rd., and to make matters worse, its an angled intersection. After this intersection- adjoining onto Beeson Farm the proposed plan is to create 5 lots with 5 driveways accessing this already short area - around 500' before you turn onto Flint Hill Rd. The entire plan consists of creating 5 driveways off Beckerdite close to the intersection, another 5 off Beeson Farm, again, close to both intersections, and another 7 off Flint Hill Rd., also close to the intersections! This subdivision plan is very hazardous especially to us that travel back and forth through there frequently. Not to mention 2 Beckerdite is a narrow road as it is. The inside lane width is only 8'9". Also I want to mention the traffic is moving at 55 mph plus on Flint Hill Rd. This plan has too many driveways too close to intersections on 3 busy roads. If this plan is to move forward I would suggest increasing lot size, house size (to recoup costs) and allow only interior roads with maybe only 2 access points off of Beckerdite and Flint Hill Road. The area off Beeson Farm is only around 500' and is not long enough to gauge traffic safely from all directions. Thanks in advance for allowing me to voice my concerns. I would also like to suggest an in person site visit with the proposed plat in hand so you can see what I am voicing concerns about.

I wanted to touch base with you regarding the Pierce Estates development in Sophia located at the corner of Flint Hill Rd, Beeson Farm Rd., and Beckerdite Rd. My family, along with many others in the community, have major safety concerns with these three roads and intersections if this development is approved. They are proposing 16 driveways to enter/exit homes around the perimeter of the 29 acres. There is 1 proposed street to be added off Flint Hill Rd. to access the internal 11 lots. Including the new street, there will be 17 entrance and exit points on these three roads. Honestly, most housing developments I see, whether they’re on a corner of multiple roads or not, have one, maybe two entrances. There are ZERO driveways exiting onto these surrounding roads in these developments. The driveways enter/exit onto a street built within the development. This keeps the traffic flow entering and exiting at one, maybe two designated areas. Our community is asking you and your office to please help us keep the high safety standards by not allowing this development to be built. If any portion of the development is approved, please keep our roads and intersections 2 surrounding this area safe by not allowing driveways to enter/exit onto the perimeter roads. Also, by increasing the acreage per house sold, which in turn will decrease the number of homes built, will help with road safety as well. Our roads will be safer and less congested with less homes and less driveways exiting the perimeter. Thank you for your time regarding Pierce Estates development! My family and community members really appreciate it! Thank you, Jodi Hollingsworth Smith 540-589-2639 Email correspondence to and from this sender is subject to the N.C.

I am writing this email to express my concerns for the proposed Pierce Estates development at corners of Flint Hill Road, Beeson Farm Road, and Beckerdite Road. I am concerned that this development will increase traffic on these narrow and curvy roads from residents trying to get to the bypass. I think this safety concern should be looked at further before the development is approved. The roads are dangerous enough without increased traffic from an unneeded subdivision.

Many families of this community have a safety concern with the three intersections on the end of Beckerdite Rd, Beeson Farm Rd and Flint Hill Rd If this development goes forward and approved as is. This would be way to many driveways entering into these roads. It is already a bad area to pull out of these roads with limited visual sight with the amount of traffic daily on these roads. Most all sub-divisions around this area have one entrance/exit drive for the entire sub-division. We feel this would be the safest benefit if the is approved. We are truly hoping for less houses or no houses built to keep our area safe by not allowing so many houses in such a tight setting with less congestion all around. Speed is a another factor for these roads not giving you time to even pull out of your driveway with out a car flying 2 over the hill or coming around a curve before they are right on you in a split second. If this development is approved in any size we hope you will see that the safest measures are taken by not allowing driveways to enter/exit onto the perimeter roads.

This e-mail is in reference to the attached proposed Pierce Estates subdivision, which is located along Beckerdite Rd. (SR 1524), Beeson Farm Rd. (SR 1525), and Flint Hill Rd. (SR 1004). Based on safety and mobility concerns for the existing roadways in this area, NCDOT recommends that only one main access point be allowed to serve this development and all proposed lots should be accessed by an internal roadway network. Safety is a top priority for the Department and we feel this recommendation will best serve the traveling public and those who will eventually utilize this site.

The developer has to apply for access to our roads. We must grant access to properties but we have to approve the accesses in safe locations. Example if their proposed roadway was accessing our road in an unsafe location due to sight distance, proximity to an intersection, etc, then we could deny their request as submitted if they have other options. Also, the proposed rezoning plan shows an internal roadway based on some type of design. NCDOT must review and approve the roadway design if it is going to be a future NCDOT road. If their submitted design does not meet our requirements then we would deny their submittal and they would have to redesign. The redesigns mentioned above may require a change in the plat. The developer would then have to go back to the county and their process for such a change.

COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY NORMA C PIERCE HEIRS REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000075 NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD According to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to CVOE-CD – Conventional Subdivision Overlay Exclusive – Conditional District as described in the application of Norma C Pierce Heirs are consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: 1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan. A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southeast area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Primary Growth Area. Primary Growth Areas generally lie along major transportation corridors and have access to urban services. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 6.13 Conventional Residential subdivisions are anticipated of similar housing characteristics to the community. Consistency Analysis: As indicated in the Development Impact Analysis, there are sixteen subdivisions within one mile of the request location. Of those sixteen, thirteen are site built subdivisions with an average lot size of 2.50 acres. Based upon this calculation, the proposed subdivision would be similar to the existing subdivisions in the community. Policy 6.14 Residential subdivisions should, in order to promote efficiencies in the delivery of urban services, be encouraged to develop in a fashion which minimizes “leap frog” development (i.e. leaving large vacant areas between developments). Consistency Analysis: This request location for a proposed subdivision, if approved, would encourage more “in-fill” of the vacant property in the community by allowing the development of a subdivision that is similar to the existing land use conditions while also encouraging more efficient delivery of services to this area. 2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis: The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the Ordinance, the Plan, and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within the County. _______________________________ _______________________________ Randolph County Planning Director Chair, Randolph County Planning Board _______________________________ _______________________________ Clerk to Planning Board Date COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY NORMA C PIERCE HEIRS REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000075 NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD According to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to CVOE-CD – Conventional Subdivision Overlay Exclusive – Conditional District as described in the application of Norma C Pierce Heirs are not consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are not reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: 1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan. A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southeast area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Primary Growth Area. Primary Growth Areas generally lie along major transportation corridors and have access to urban services. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 6.12 Factors to be considered in major subdivision approval in Primary and Secondary Growth Areas should include suitability of soils, access to major thoroughfares, the potential availability of public services and facilities and community compatibility. Consistency Analysis: As indicated in the Development Impact Analysis, there are sixteen subdivisions within one mile of the request location. The traffic counts for the area roads show the average daily traffic counts, based upon information from NCDOT, as being 1,600 for Beckerdite Rd, 390 for Beeson Farm Rd and 1,400 for Flint Hill Rd. NCDOT also classified Beckerdite Rd as being in poor condition, with Beeson Farm Rd being in good condition and Flint Hill Rd being in fair condition. NCDOT has expressed concerns about the number of proposed drive-way connections on each road and they feel that the proposed number of connections would be unsafe. Policy 6.22 New driveway connections should be designed in a way to minimize new locations on existing public roads. Consistency Analysis: Based upon the current design of the proposed subdivision, there are sixteen proposed driveway connections onto existing State maintained roads. The driveway connections have not been designed to minimize the number of connections on the existing State road system. 2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis: The policies listed above illustrate how this request is not consistent with the Ordinance, the Plan, and applicable General Statutes. This request is not in the public interest due to the number of driveway connections on the existing State maintained road system since it does not consider public safety in its design. _______________________________ _______________________________ Randolph County Planning Director Chair, Randolph County Planning Board _______________________________ _______________________________ Clerk to Planning Board Date MOTION TO APPROVE A CONDITIONAL DISTRICT REZONING NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD “I make the motion to APPROVE this 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.” If making a second to the motion, please change to say, “I second the motion . . .” and continue reading the rest of the motion.
