Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 1 of 13 RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES April 13, 2021 There was a meeting of the Randolph County Planning Board on Tuesday, April 13, 2021, at 6:30 p.m. in the 1909 Historic Courthouse Meeting Room, 145-C Worth St, Asheboro, NC. 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 March 2, 2021, Planning Board meeting. • Approval of agenda for April 13, 2021, Planning Board meeting. • Approval of the Order of the Board to approve the Special Use Permit for Robert Lee Evans Comer and Brandon Hollingsworth, and the Consistency, Reasonableness and in the Public Interest Statements for the Rezoning Requests by Glandon Forest Equity, LLC, and TJTR Properties, LLC. Davis made the motion to approve the consent agenda as presented with Slusher making the second to the motion. The motion was adopted unanimously. Before the Board proceeded with the requests for the evening, Dale announced that the NC MINE 1, LLC case had been withdrawn before the meeting, it would not be Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 2 of 13 considered by the Board at this time and apologized for any inconvenience it may have caused. Joyce proceeded with the old business on the agenda of Norma C. Pierce Heirs which had been tabled at the previous Planning Board meeting. Dale presented the case along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties, discussing some of the changes that have been made since the previous meeting, that was tabled because of uncertainty from the NCDOT. He said four lots have been turned to have access from the interior of the subdivision, rather than the main road, which was one of the concerns from the community. He said after numerous conversations with NCDOT regarding the project, NCDOT has recommended denying the project based on the number of new driveways that would access the main road because of potential traffic hazards. REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000075 NORMA C PIERCE HEIRS, Trinity, NC, is requesting 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 a minimum house size of 1,300 sq. ft. as per the site plan. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present to speak in favor of the request. Janice Spainhour, 4561 Pierce Ln., Trinity, said she is representing the seller as their realtor and family member. She said as a realtor, it is her job to find the best use for the land and the best price for the seller. She said this property has access to three main roads and public water, so it seemed reasonable to assume, that the best use for the property would be a residential neighborhood. Spainhour said although there are concerns from the surrounding residents regarding house size and one-acre lot sizes, the people who would be interested in such a development, such as this, should be considered as well. She said someone moving from the city, living in an apartment, or having a home or condominium on a lot that is a fraction of the size would love to have the opportunity to purchase an affordable home on a one- acre lot. It would feel like they are in the country without the responsibility of a large tract of land. She also said she had spoken to someone at the Board of Education and was told there was plenty of space for growth at the local schools. Spainhour said there have been concerns expressed regarding a forestry contract. She said it is not a contract, it is a forestry “plan” and the property can be sold. H. R. Gallimore, 231 S. Fayetteville St, Asheboro, said Randolph County is a wonderful place to live and people move here from neighboring counties, contributing to the labor Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 3 of 13 force and without the labor force, there is no economic development. He said he had compiled data within a five-mile radius showing there were only four homes available for sale, two of which required renovations, one mobile home, and the fourth one being over $400,000.00. He said six additional residential homes were surrounding the five-mile radius with a Trinity address. He said if homes are not available, there will be no new residents to our County. He also said the proposal meets all of the requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance and Growth Management Plan, which is used for planning any new development. Gallimore discussed some of the concerns of the surrounding property owners to the Board. He told them the additional drive-way entrances would not impact the area because there are already several driveways before and after the property. He said the schools have expressed the availability for students in the local schools and are welcomed, all proper permitting is required from Environmental Health for septic which can sometimes reduce the number of lots that can be developed, proper permitting is required from the State for disturbing more than one acre of land and holds heavy fines for not following the regulations and proper permitting is also required from NCDOT. He said all of the proposed lots will have turn-around driveways which have not been mentioned before. Angela Brown, 118 Trindale Rd, Archdale, said Randolph County is a wonderful place to live. She said also collected data for home sales in that area and found that there have been 295 sold in the past year, selling within three to five days of being placed on the market. She said that shows the need for new homes and she is in full support of the request and looks forward to what the development could bring to the community. Joyce asked if there was anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition to the request. Brandon Hedrick 2829 Sawyer Rd, Sophia, submitted a packet of information to share with the Board (Exhibit A). He said he had reached out to H. R. Gallimore and shared some of the concerns of some of the family and community members. He said he is disappointed to see there are so few changes with the revised plat regarding some of their concerns and said he still has a few questions regarding the confirmation of the Unified Development Ordinance. Hedrick said he is a CPA and he works a lot with construction and real estate customers and understands completely the urban exodus that is happening right now, although it is not unique to Randolph County or even North Carolina, which creates a big demand for housing and subdivisions. He said now, more than ever, there is a need to stick to the Unified Development Ordinance and Growth Management Plan. Hedrick said the primary concerns are public safety including the traffic recommendation from NCDOT for having only one access road and all lots accessing that road internally. He said another one of the concerns is the wastewater plan. He said per the Unified Development Ordinance, the sub-divider shall have the site investigated and present Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 4 of 13 proof to the Planning Board that appropriate soil tests have been conducted and that each lot in the subdivision has been approved by the Randolph County Health Department for sewage disposal systems. Hedrick said another one of his concerns is the cultural impact this development will pose on Flint Hill Community Church, which dates back to 1880 (included with Exhibit A) and they have recently applied to the Historic Landmark Preservation Commission, on behalf of the Church. He said he would also like to point out, according to the Unified Development Ordinance, major subdivisions shall maintain a minimum of 35 ft. existing uncut buffer along all State maintained roads when clear-cutting. He told the Board that he appreciated what they do and knows it is not easy to balance it all out but asked that they be mindful of long-term growth and how to make it better for everyone in the community. Kurt Storm, 3200 Ridgeworth Ct., Sophia, said some of his questions had already been answered, but he would like to know the type and size of housing that would be allowed, and whether or not a carport or garage will be required. He said he has concerns about increased traffic because that area is dangerous already. He also said if the development moves forward, he would like to see it done properly to benefit everyone. Lori Weatherman, 3197 Winn Dee Rest Ln., Sophia, said she is a neighbor to the proposed housing development and she has concerns about the traffic and safety of the neighborhood and even the appearance within the development with smaller homes and minimal area for parking. She asks the Board to consider fewer homes on larger lots. Jodi Smith 125 Preserve Way, Mooresville, said she has an interest in this request because her family owns the property next to this request. She said she also has concerns about the safety of additional driveways in the area, as well as it being visually unappealing. She told the Board that there are problems with the water lines on occasions already and asked what an additional twenty-seven homes would cause in the future. Smith said she would like to see the same size homes as the current homes in the area and only one entrance with individual access being contained within the subdivision. Paul Whitaker, 6547 Flint Hill Rd, Sophia, said he lives across the road from the request, which he purchased fourteen years ago, to live in the country. He said his home is much larger than the proposed homes and he would like to see larger homes on larger lots to be compatible with the existing homes. Derrick Hembree, 6421 Flint Hill Rd, said there are many concerns for this development and he understands NCDOT recommends that it not be built. He said he lives in the country where it’s peaceful and he would like to see it remain peaceful. He also said one of his main concerns is safety. Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 5 of 13 Matthew Wilson, 2835 Beeson Farm Rd, said the proposed subdivision will be built directly across from him and there will be a lot of additional driveways and too many homes directly across the road. He said the people who want to build homes do not have to live there. He also said he does not want to see the trees removed because he grows ginseng for the State and native plants which have to be pollinated and those trees play a big role in the pollination process. Amy Lou Frye, 2864 Jess Smith Rd, Sophia, said she lives less than one-quarter of a mile from this request. She said she would like to point out again that if the NCDOT has said they recommend that the development be denied as proposed, maybe that should be considered. She expressed concerns regarding the stream on the property and the 50 ft. no-cut buffer that has to be maintained and asked how it would be possible for a house, drive, turn-around, and septic on a lot with such a large buffer. Frye said the community has not said they do not want the development, they would like to see it match what is in the community already. She said she understands that it should be fair to a landowner to develop their property but she should be considered as a landowner as well. She said she is the sixth generation farmer on her land and her family should be considered for the hard work and sacrifices that have been made as well. Frye said they are not against new neighbors but would like to have a better fit for the community. She asked the Board if they were to consider approving the request, enforce the buffers and reduce the number of driveways allowed for safety. Mandy Ashley, 4065 Beckerdite Rd, Sophia, said she lives approximately one-quarter of a mile from the request, and her parents, grandparents, and brother live in the area as well. She said there are safety concerns regarding traffic and the danger on Beckerdite Rd, which you cannot even imagine unless you travel on those roads. Ashley mentioned several larger homes that are in the area and said the 1,300 square foot homes do not fit the area. She said this development would also affect the wildlife to which the community has become accustomed. She asked the Board to consider what they would like to see in their neighborhoods. Joe Goins, 4000 Beckerdite Rd, Sophia said he agrees with Ashley and thinks the safety issues should be considered because of the existing traffic hazards that will become worse. He said he understands that Davidson Water will be available but worries about what effect the septic systems will have on their well water. Goins said that he would like to see homes more in line with the existing homes in the area with fewer houses on larger lots. Julie Smith, 2857 Jess Smith Rd, Sophia, said she agrees with the others, her main concern is safety and is in opposition to the request as it has been presented. At the suggestion of Dale, Joyce asked if he could get a show of hands of those that are in opposition to the request. There were 21 people in opposition to the request. Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 6 of 13 Modlin said a lot of the concerns that have been brought up tonight have been about the house size and that is not something the Board can address if he understands correctly. Dale said the applicant can agree or disagree to a house size but the Board cannot require a particular house size. Gallimore said one of the things that were mentioned is the house size. He said a 1,300 square foot house will cost approximately $200,000.00 and he also pointed out that most of the people in the area are not subject to restrictive covenants for their property but the homeowner’s in this subdivision would be subject to. Gallimore said to have an opportunity to bring people to a community, they have to have a place to live and construction costs have drastically increased. He said he understands safety but the Highway Patrol can address some of the issues with existing traffic. Gallimore said there are guidelines, buffers, and restrictions that have to be followed by the developer for erosion, streams, and more and if the County is going to progress, we have to have some type of growth. He said he is not selling the property or has it on the market. He has just been asked to speak. He said the property has been on the market for over two years and this is the first reasonable opportunity to sell it. He said all of the lots have turn-around driveways and it is not reasonable to believe that all twenty-seven lots will have someone pulling out at the same time. This will be one of the biggest investments some of these families will ever make. He said he is aware of the church as well and would hope that many of the families within the new development would become members of the church and this would be a good opportunity for growth for the church. Cable asked if the homes would-be site built and if they would be brick homes. Gallimore said all of the homes would be stick built but he didn’t think they would be brick because of cost. Davis said he has a hard time figuring out why this property did not sell after being on the market for two years when there have been a lot of properties that have sold in his area rather quickly. Gallimore said that Spainhour mentioned earlier that most people that had an interest in the property wanted it subdivided or split in some fashion and the property owners did not want to do so. He said as a realtor, it is his job to look at the highest and best use of a piece of property when marketing for a seller, and after two years on the market, it was determined this would be the use on behalf of the seller. He said that is not to say, ignore the community but the economics of limiting the number of lots, will not work. Cable said there may be some lots that will not perk and may reduce the number of lots available. Gallimore said that was correct. He said if he were a homeowner in the area, he may not want the development either, but going by the Unified Development Ordinance, it meets all of the criteria for development. Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 7 of 13 Cable asked if there had been any discussion since he tabled the request last month due to uncertainty from the NCDOT about interior roads. He said it was mentioned by several people. Gallimore said the lots with the four lots with drives accessing Flint Hill Rd were turned to obtain access from the interior of the subdivision, limiting the number of developable lots until the road is installed. He said it is usually an attempt from the developer to gain “seed” money from the outside lots to help with the costs of building the road. Cable asked if there is a possibility of having the driveway entrances on the interior of the subdivision. Gallimore said if the economics change for the proposed developer, the sale may not happen. He said there are some advantages to having multiple access to properties in an emergency. Gallimore asked the community to understand there have to be places for families to live and the property owners have an opportunity to sell the property after two years of marketing. Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Cable thanked all of the citizens that spoke to the Board about the request and thanked the Board for tabeling last month to obtain additional information. He said he appreciates the passion of citizens when speaking about their homes. He talked about his previous residence in Archdale where he was adjacent to a one-hundred acre tract of land and the owner passed away. He said the gentleman’s will stated that the property should be developed and he felt betrayed. He said he is an advocate for someone using their land as they want and the Board cannot determine the size of a home as there are rules that have to be followed while protecting the development of the County and he does have concerns for the safety of twelve new driveways on the main road. Slusher said he counted thirteen driveways and has never seen almost half of the driveways enter on heavily traveled roads like this request. He said you can also expect a lot of people leaving to go to school and work at the same time every day. Beeson said one of the main concerns from the Board was for safety due to the number of driveways and having no real answer from NCDOT. He said there is still no clear answer. He said the developer was asked to change the access points and they did propose a cul-de-sac and flip four lots to remove access off the main road. He said he feels the Board has to do what is best for the community and he feels the number of lots for the amount of property is too dense with the existing congestion already on those roads. Vaughan said people are moving toward our area because of the beautiful country areas that we still have. She said she feels the buffers and larger lots should be considered to maintain the country atmosphere that everyone has grown to love. Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 8 of 13 Davis said it is time to do a comprehensive overview of the Unified Development Ordinance and Growth Management Plan and consider this information. He said his concerns for this proposal are the safety, well-being of the community and feels it is not a good fit for the community. Davis made the motion to deny 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 not consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Slusher made a second to the motion to deny the rezoning request. Joyce called the question on the motion to deny the rezoning request, and the motion was adopted unanimously. Dale presented the second case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties. REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000645 MELISSA AND JIMMY LEE HILL, JR, Climax, NC, is requesting to rezone 1.06 acres on Ramseur Julian Rd, approximately 350 ft. north of Shelar Dr, Liberty Township, Tax ID #8706803607, Rural Growth Area, Sandy Creek Watershed, from RA – Residential Agricultural District to HC-CD – Highway Commercial - Conditional District. The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow a 30 ft. by 40 ft. warehouse building with office space as per the site plan. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present to speak in favor of the request. Jimmy Lee Hill, Jr., 2764 Briar Oak Drive, Climax, explained the need for a warehouse to store his inventory for low-voltage wiring and security cameras and a location for his employees to meet daily to begin their jobs for the day. He said there would be no public interaction and a few delivery trucks to the site. Joyce asked for the hours of operation. Hill said his employees arrive between 7:00 - 7:30 a.m. to meet, gather supplies and set out to their job(s), and return when the job(s) are complete. Cable asked if the employee’s vehicles would be parked on-site during the day and company trucks parked overnight. Hill answered yes. He said some of the lead technicians will drive their trucks home overnight. Davis asked how many people were currently employed. Hill said there are four. Davis asked if there is a natural buffer on the property. Hill said there is currently a natural buffer Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 9 of 13 of which some will be cleared and dead trees removed. He said he will be re-planting some trees to maintain a buffer beside the driveway along the edge of the property. Joyce asked if there was anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition to the request. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Slusher said he lives approximately a quarter of a mile from this location and he knows the business. He said there used to be a welding shop across the street from this property and it would have been more of a nuisance than this warehouse and no one in the neighborhood had issues with it so he felt no one would have an issue with this request. 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, 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. He told the Board that the current owner has tried to market the property for quite some time with no results due to the current conditions on the property and the owner feels if he were to remove the conditions, it would be more marketable. REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000651 TONY HURLEY AND VICKY HARRIS, Randleman, NC, is requesting to rezone 2.65 acres at 122 Spring Forest Rd, Tabernacle Township, Tax ID #7712139808, Secondary Growth Area, Lake Reese Watershed, from HC- CU – Highway Commercial – Conditional Use District to LI – Light Industrial District. The existing Conditional Use District specifically allows an automotive repair business in a 30 ft. by 80 ft. building, a 25 ft. no-cut buffer along the eastern property line, hours of operation of 8:00 am to 6:00 pm along with no outside storage. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present to speak in favor of the request. Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 10 of 13 Tony Hurley, 2213 Old Liberty Rd, Randleman, said the property was originally owned by his brother, which had used the property for sales and repair of cycles and ATVs and later added auto repair as well. He said they have tried to market the property for sale since his brother passed away in 2017 and it has been difficult with the current conditions on the property. Hurley said the interest in the property has been both for Highway Commercial use and Light Industrial use and the most recent interest being Light Industrial, he would like to change the zoning and drop the conditions to attract a buyer. Hurley said there is a required buffer along the northern side of the property which they found to be on the adjacent parcel. He said they have had to acquire a fifteen-foot strip of land that is currently zoned Residential Agriculture to incorporate the buffer and it will become part of this tract as well, total acreage being 2.733 acres and he wanted to make sure that was clear. Joyce asked if there was anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition to the request. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Cable said there is a good building on the property. Joyce said it is an excellent location. Cable said with no one present in opposition to the request, he would move forward with 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, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is also consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Modlin 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 last case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties. He explained that normally the square footage is not a determining factor for the Planning Board’s decision, however, the square footage for this particular case was made part of the rezoning request in the public hearing. REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000654 PHIL BURGESS CONSTRUCTION, INC, Liberty, NC, is requesting to amend the Conditional District, Racine Rd, Providence Township, Tax ID #7777761655, 7777760294, 7777760191, 7777761305, 7777761419 and 7777768355, Ace Avant Real Property Company subdivision lots one through six, Secondary Growth Area, Polecat Creek Watershed. The Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 11 of 13 existing Conditional Zoning District specifically allows a seven-lot site-built subdivision with a 1,700 sq. ft. minimum house size. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present to speak in favor of the request. Debbie Burgess, 615 Wright Ctry Rd, Ramseur, said they are requesting a modification on the size of the home required in the restrictions due to a drastic increase in construction costs over the last six months. She said it would help in keeping the housing affordable for buyers. She said all of the homes would be stick-built on approximately two to two and one-half acres. Davis asked how long the 1,700 square foot approval has been in place. Dale said he was unsure. Morgan asked if there were seven lots for this subdivision. Burgess said there were seven lots approved, they had only purchased six of the approved lots. Beeson asked about the width of the lots. Burgess said the widths averaged 112-115 feet and were deep. There was additional discussion regarding the subdivision and the problems that had come up during the previous request. Joyce asked if there was anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition to the request. Gene Hyatt, 7561 Racine Rd, Pleasant Garden, said he owns the property directly across from this subdivision. He said he was not against the development but feels the 1,700 square feet previously agreed upon are more compatible with the homes in the area and reducing the house size, it will reduce their values. He also said there is a subdivision close to this property where the houses are selling faster than they can be built and they are 1,700 hundred or more square feet. Wayne Craver, 7438 Racine Rd, Pleasant Garden, said his home is around 2,100 square feet and is concerned about how smaller homes will affect the value of his home. He shared his concerns with the existing traffic hazards in the area and what additional homes would do to increase the problems. He also said he is concerned about the effects on the water table for the existing residents in the area when you add more wells. Craver asked if the homes would be spec homes or custom-built. Morgan said it was not a part of the application and it could be either. He said Ms. Burgess could answer if she would like. Burgess said there would be both spec homes and custom-built homes although they are currently so busy, they cannot build spec homes. Brandy Ward, 7598 Racine Rd, Pleasant Garden, said she has concerns about decreasing the value of her home with smaller homes and the effects these homes will have on her well. She also asked if there would be more than one home on the nineteen- acre tract or would be split for multiple houses as well. Morgan explained that anything Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 12 of 13 more than what has already been approved would have to come before the Board again. Joyce said the only thing the applicant is asking for is to reduce the house sizes, everything else will remain the same. Ward asked if there would be garages required for these homes. Morgan said that may be answered in the restrictive covenants and Burgess may be able to answer any questions after everyone has spoken. Misty Hinshaw, 7454 Racine Rd, Pleasant Garden, said she has no issues with the 1,700 square foot homes already approved although she would not like to see it reduced to 1,500 square feet because she is worried about reducing the value of her home. She said the existing property owners should not be punished because of the existing situations increasing the costs of construction. She also expressed concerns about traffic safety. There was discussion regarding the requirement of garages. Dale read a paragraph from the current restrictive covenants. Morgan said there is not a requirement to have a garage, but it requires that you have one built from comparable materials as the home if you choose to build a garage. Joyce asked about the plans for the nineteen-acre tract. Burgess said there have been no discussions to subdivide that tract, they plan to sell as it is. Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Joyce said he knew some builders that have stopped building spec homes because of the increased cost of construction. Davis said the Board has listened to the case before and approved based on the 1,700 square feet and he has a hard time changing an approval that has already been agreed upon. Cable said he believes the homes will sell even though there is an increase in costs. He said in respect to the argument regarding taxes, the tax value is based on sales price and not the square footage of the home(s). He also said that he agrees with Davis about not changing a decision already agreed upon for the subdivision approval because that was one of the biggest arguments when it was initially presented to the Board. Although the Board is not allowed to base approval on the square footage, the previous applicant made his seventeen hundred square foot minimum part of his “condition” of the rezoning. Morgan said developers can put restrictions on their projects but the Board should not use square footage as a determining factor. Cable said he would rather leave the situation as it was approved previously with the 1,700 square foot minimum. Cable made the motion to deny 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 Planning Board Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 13 of 13 motion and that the request is not consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Davis made a second to the motion to deny the rezoning request. Joyce called the question on the motion to deny the rezoning request, and the motion was adopted unanimously. Having no further business, Joyce called for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Modlin made the motion to adjourn with Davis 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 9:06 p.m. with 102 citizens present. RANDOLPH COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA __________________________ Planning Director __________________________ _______________________________ Clerk to the 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 COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY MELISSA AND JIMMY LEE HILL, JR. REZONING REQUEST #2021-000000645 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 Melissa and Jimmy Lee Hill, Jr., 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 northeast area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as a Rural Growth Area. Rural Growth Areas are predominately agricultural and rural residential in nature. The area also allows for industrial and commercial development that require access to rural resources. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan 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 site plan for this proposal shows the building as being 1,200 sq. ft. on a 1.09-acre parcel and would have very minimal impacts on the adjoining land uses. Policy 4.3 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 business, if developed in this location, could reduce automobile travel distances for the citizens living in the area if the business provides the goods and services needed by the community. The business could also enhance the livability in the community. 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 TONY HURLEY AND VICKY HARRIS REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000651 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-Light Industrial as described in the application of Tony Hurley and Vicky Harris 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 a Secondary Area. Secondary Growth Areas are areas that are predominately residential but transitional. It is also an area where mixed development may occur. 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: This property has been used for an automotive repair business in the existing building along with conditions for a 25 ft. no-cut buffer on the eastern property lines, hours of operations of 8:00 am to 6:00 pm along with no outside storage. By rezoning the property to LI-Light Industrial the number of uses for the property will be less intense and potentially have less impact on the surrounding community. Policy 3.3 Light industrial sites should be located in urbanized areas to take advantage of available services and to reduce home-to-work distances. Careful design and/or buffering shall be required to ensure compatibility with surrounding areas. Consistency Analysis: This property is near an existing automobile sales lots and Tabernacle Elementary School and Tabernacle Acres subdivision. The location of this proposed industrial site could help reduce the home-to-work travel distances if citizens near the site were able to gain employment at any future industrial use. 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 PHIL BURGESS CONSTRUCTION, INC REZONING REQUEST #2021-00000654 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 Phil Burgess Construction, Inc., 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.

Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the northeast area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as a Secondary Growth Area. Secondary Growth Areas are areas that are predominately residential but transitional. It is also an area where mixed development may occur. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 6.5 The protection of viable rural neighborhoods should be encouraged by compatible residential development to ensure the continued existence as a major housing source and as a reflection of the long-term quality of life in Randolph County. Consistency Analysis: The development as proposed would lower the overall average square footage of homes in the area and would not be compatible with the existing residential development in the area. Policy 6.13 Conventional Residential subdivisions are anticipated of similar housing characteristics to the community. Consistency Analysis: The proposal would not be of similar housing characteristics that can be found in the surrounding community, and, therefore, would not be compatible. 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. The parcel in this rezoning request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and the Planning Board.

COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY ANTONIO F and MARIA I LUNA REZONING REQUEST #2021-00001039 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 RBO-CD – Rural Business Overlay – Conditional District as described in the application of Antonio F and Maria I Luna 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 southwest area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as a Secondary Growth Area. Secondary Growth Areas are mostly residential but do allow for transitional land uses. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan 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 location of the proposed rodeo and horse show arena is an area that is residential and has subdivisions in the surrounding area. The noise from the activities, along with increased pollution and traffic in this area would have negative impacts that would substantially outweigh any positive impacts. Policy 4.7 The County should encourage the use of rural business overlay districts to provide locations where compatible rural land uses such as neighborhood retail and service establishments can be located in general proximity to established rural residential areas with the goal of reducing automobile travel distances and promoting better livability in the rural community. Consistency Analysis: The type of use requested in this request is not compatible with the surrounding land uses and subdivisions. The proposed use will have negative impacts on the surrounding neighbors and will not promote better livability in this community. 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. 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 not increase the tax base nor 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.

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 Zoo Environmental Area. Zoo Environmental Areas is an area designed specifically to protect and enhance the area around the North Carolina Zoological Park. 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 location for this proposed rezoning is a residential area but that could also benefit from the provision of taxidermy services. The proposed rental cabin could also provide flexible accommodation for families visiting the North Carolina Zoological Park. 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: As this request is in a residential area, it could provide services to the local community, and as previously stated, provide flexible accommodations close to the North Carolina Zoological Park. 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.

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 Municipal Growth Area. Municipal Growth Areas generally are areas within a municipal limit or extra- territorial jurisdiction. This property was in the City of Asheboro’s Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) until 2013 when the City reduced their ETJ area. 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: As noted earlier, this property was in the City of Asheboro’s ETJ until 2013, and this area has seen mixed uses of industrial, commercial and residential. The proposal would increase economic activity and also provide services to the community and be in harmony with the existing land uses. 36 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 would transition an existing residential use to a commercial use that is consistent with the surround land uses and any impacts on the adjoining land uses should be minimal compared to the other surrounding uses. 2.

COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY BGVG, LLC REZONING REQUEST #2021-00001066 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 Light Industrial as described in the application of BGVG, 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 northeast 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 NC Hwy 49 N which is a major transportation corridor. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 3.3 Light industrial sites should be located in urbanized areas to take advantage of available services and to reduce home-to-work distances. Careful design and/or buffering shall be required to ensure compatibility with surrounding areas. Consistency Analysis: The property for this request has been used for many years by a local plumbing contractor. The uses allowed in the proposed zoning district would permit the same uses and could help reduce travel distances for employees and provide services to the community. 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: As stated earlier, this site has been used by a local plumbing contractor for many years, and instead of allowing the building to become vacant and an eye-sore to the community, the proposal would continue to increase economic activity, create jobs and provide services to the rural community. 2.

SB 349/HB 401 Resolution April 21, 2021 Page 1 of 2 Resolution of the Randolph County Planning Board On SB 349/HB 401 WHEREAS, the legislation proposed in Senate Bill 349/House Bill 401, Increase Housing Opportunities, is of great concern to the County of Randolph and other local governments within North Carolina; and WHEREAS, provisions within this legislation would severely diminish or even eliminate the ability of local government to determine what is best for its community or even allow community input or involvement in the decision-making process; and WHEREAS, development would become uncontrolled and reckless with little to no regard for property owners rights, not to mention the added stress and demand on a local government’s infrastructure which would eventually lead to declining property values; and WHEREAS, county officials were elected by their citizens for a reason-to protect and preserve the quality of life that they have come to enjoy; and WHEREAS, residents could not enjoy a safe and secure, clean and well-kept environment with plenty of amenities offered, if it were not for the efforts put forth by its elected officials and county staff in utilizing effective and proven zoning processes that include community input; and WHEREAS, a one-size-fits-all approach to land use is a radical, reckless, and irrational-a blatant attack on local land-use decision-making; and WHEREAS, uniform legislation for all local governments under one statewide zoning mandate would eliminate the single-family zoning designation and allow multi-family housing in every neighborhood with no minimum parking requirements in place to ensure adequate parking for all; and WHEREAS, increased housing does not guarantee more affordable housing nor does this legislation. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that copies of this resolution are sent to our legislative delegation and to the leadership of the North Carolina General Assembly to stop Senate Bill 349/House Bill 401from becoming law and to work together to find real ways to advance affordable housing opportunities. SB 349/HB 401 Resolution April 21, 2021 Page 2 of 2 Adopted this the fourth day of May, 2021. ___________________________________ Chair, Randolph County Planning Board ___________________________________ Clerk to the Board SB 455 Resolution April 21, 2021 Page 1 of 1 Resolution of the Randolph County Planning Board On SB 455 WHEREAS, the legislation proposed in Senate Bill 455, An Act to Decriminalize Non-Statutory Criminal Offenses and Violations, is of great concern to Randolph County and other local governments within North Carolina; and WHEREAS, the proposed bill would prohibit criminal enforcement of local ordinances and change violations to an infraction punishable by no more than a $50 fine; and WHEREAS, criminal penalties are an effective tool for local governments in enforcing ordinances; and WHEREAS, the enforcement of criminal penalties is not abused, nor applied recklessly or carelessly; and WHEREAS, a conviction of an infraction and $50 fine is not an effective deterrent for those who violate county ordinances. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to our legislative delegation and to the leadership of the North Carolina General Assembly to stop SB 455 from becoming law.
