Joyce reminded the Planning Board and the citizens in attendance that this case had
been tabled from the September 14, 2021, Planning Board meeting since the applicant
was not in attendance at the public hearing.
The Chair opened the public hearing and called for anyone supporting the rezoning
request to come forward and speak.
Ashley Floyd, 534 Kennedy Farm Rd S, Trinity, NC, said she wants to build a house on
the property but since it is zoned Light Industrial, a house cannot be built on the property.

would be a site-built or prefabricated home and Floyd said the house would be stick built
on the site. Davis asked if this is family property and Floyd responded that it is family
property.

Planning Board members.
Cable asked if the hearing had been duly noticed and posted since there was no one in
opposition to the request and Dale responded that the hearing had been advertised and
signs had been posted. Cable said that it means a lot to him if there is no one speaking
in opposition to the rezoning request.
Cable made 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

Barry Cagle, 3911 Kemp Mill Rd, Asheboro, NC, told the Planning Board that he wants
to put a double-wide mobile home on the property for his daughter so she would have a
place to live.
Joyce asked if there were any questions from the Planning Board? Slusher asked who
would be living in the home and Cagle said it would be his daughter.
Davis asked Cagle if he was planning on cutting the property and Cagle responded that
he would not be cutting the property right now as they still owe a little on the property.
Slusher asked who lived in the residence in the upper right corner of the site plan? Cagle
said his other daughter lives there and he lives in the home with the swimming pool as
seen on the site plans.
Davis asked if this request takes care of the rest of Cagle’s family as there is not enough
property for another residence to be put on the property. Cagle said that he has another
daughter that has a place to live, and he does not expect anyone else to move to the
property.
Cable asked if Cagle’s daughter was okay living that close to her parents and Cagle said
yes.

Hearing none, the Chair asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the request.
Hearing none, the Chair closed the public hearing for discussion and a decision by the
Planning Board members.
Cable asked if the hearing had been duly noticed and posted since there was no one in
opposition to the request and Dale responded that the hearing had been advertised and
signs had been posted.
Slusher stated that he thought it was great that family members want to live that close to
each other as that is not very common.
Slusher made the motion the motion to APPROVE this Special Use Permit request on
the specified parcel(s) on the Special Use Permit application, based upon the sworn
witness testimony included in the minutes, as well as the site plan(s) with all agreed-upon
