Joyce stated that Mr. Modlin had been a great asset to the Planning Board. Dale presented the first case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site. SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST #2021-00003178 The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a Quasi-judicial Hearing on the request by MERCY MOUNTAIN MINISTRIES, INC, Asheboro, NC, and their request to obtain a Special Use Permit at 5046 Old NC Hwy 13, Grant Township, Tax ID #7687186264, 5.14 acres, RA - Residential Agricultural District. It is the desire of the applicant to obtain a Special Use Permit to specifically allow a private academy for girls as per the site plan. The Chair opened the public hearing and called for anyone supporting the Special Use Permit request to come forward and take an oath or affirmation to provide truthful testimony. Lori Harvey took the oath. Lori Harvey, 5046 Old NC Hwy 13., Asheboro, the director of Mercy Mountain Ministries, Inc, said that the program they wanted to offer at the site would be a residential, faith- based school for girls between the ages of ten to seventeen. Harvey told the Planning Board that this location will replace the girl's school at the old Farmer School and twenty- two girls had gone through the program at this location. Harvey informed the Board that the former director at the Farmer Girls School retired from the program he offered, and he offered the program to Harvey, which she accepted. Davis asked if the girls live at the site. Harvey said there are currently six girls living at the site and it is smaller than the site at the old Farmer school. Cable asked if the youth involved in the program could be considered “troubled youth?” Harvey said the youth sometimes have various issues, some of the girls have been adopted and broke apart from their new families. Harvey said they want to provide a safe place where the girls know they are loved. She said the school is supported by local churches with food and financial support. Cable asked about the girls when they leave the program. Harvey stated that when the Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 3 of 13 girls leave the program they have a high school diploma. Cable asked if the girls are on- site 24/7. Harvey said staff is on-site all day, every day and there is also a full security system so they know where every girl is during the day and night. Harvey stated that new girls adapt quickly to their surroundings as there are no cell phones or social media to cause further issues for the girls. Harvey said since the program started at the old Farmer school over 300 girls have gone through the program. The Chair asked if there was anyone else that wanted to speak in favor of the request. 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 request was duly posted and Dale answered that all legal requirements were completed. Cable said if it was done as stated, anyone in opposition had ample notice of the meeting time to attend the meeting. Joyce stated that the proposal seems to be a good project that is needed in Randolph County. Beeson said that this camp seems to be similar to Youth Unlimited, a boy's residential camp, in the Sophia area. Vaughan stated that she lives less than one-quarter mile from the site and has never heard any complaints and while driving by, often sees the girls on the property walking or doing other activities. Slusher said he thought it was a large tract of land with trees to buffer any adjoining property owners. Davis said there is a need for a place like this in Randolph County. 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 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. Davis seconded the motion to approve the issuance of the Special Use Permit. The Chair, having a proper motion and second, called the question on the issuance of the Special Use Permit. The Planning Board members voted unanimously to APPROVE this request and authorize the issuance of the Special Use Permit 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 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 Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 4 of 13 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. Dale presented the next case on the agenda. REZONING REQUEST #2021-00002815 The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a Legislative Hearing on the request by H R GALLIMORE, Asheboro, NC, and his request to rezone 15.70 acres at the intersection of Weeden St and Brooksdale Rd, Columbia Township, Tax ID #8725907240, Primary Growth Area, from RA - Residential Agricultural District to CVOR-CD - Conventional Subdivision Overlay Restricted - Conditional District. The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow a ten-lot subdivision for site-built, modular, or Class A mobile homes with a permanent foundation as per the site plan. Property Owner: James W and Kendrea V Chappell. The Chair opened the public hearing and called for anyone supporting the rezoning request to come forward and speak. H R Gallimore, 231 S Fayetteville St, Asheboro, is the real estate agent representing the Chappell’s in the development of the proposed subdivision of ten lots. Gallimore said they took special care to follow all the County regulations and chose not to require private deed restrictions on the property as the Chappell’s feel comfortable with regulations enforced by the County as they seem to be sufficient. Gallimore stated this site would be an ideal site for homes with the newly announced business coming to the Greensboro- Randolph County Megasite recently announced. Davis asked Gallimore if he had any conversations with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) regarding the layout of the proposed subdivision. Gallimore stated that he had received nothing from NCDOT. Dale stated that the Planning Department has received a standard response from NCDOT on the proposed design. Gallimore reminded the Planning Board that before building permits can be issued for construction that Randolph County Environmental Health must issue septic systems permits. Cable asked about the design of lots number nine and ten and why the lots look so different. Gallimore stated that this is the area that was left after the other lots were laid out and there was not enough land to create any additional lots. Gallimore did request that the Planning Board allow him to address anyone in opposition to this rezoning request. The Chair asked if there was anyone else that wanted to speak in favor of the request. 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. Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 5 of 13 Cable said that Gallimore seemed to hit all the high points of the development including the fact that the proposal meets all requirements. Cable stated that he did not see any issues with the proposal and that no one was present at the hearing to speak against the request. Joyce mentioned the e-mail from NCDOT saying that the road appears to be “okay.” Beeson said that the plan matches the surrounding area and is in keeping with the development patterns in the area. Slusher stated that he is familiar with the area and knows that there is another subdivision down the road from this request and this plan appears to be the same as the previously approved subdivision. 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 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 all agreed-upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Slusher made a second to the motion to approve the rezoning request. The Chair, having a proper motion and second, called the question on the approval of 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 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 all agreed-upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. The Planning Board members voted unanimously to rezone the property. Dale presented the third case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site. REZONING REQUEST #2021-00003184 The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a Legislative Hearing on the request by ROBERT BALDWIN, Ramseur, NC, and his request to rezone 4.46 acres on Reed Creek Rd, Columbia Township, Tax ID #8712047035, Municipal Growth Area, from RA - Residential Agricultural District to LI-CD - Light Industrial - Conditional District. The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow a storage lot for tractor-trailer trailers as per the site plan. Property Owner: James M and Elizabeth G Pate. The Chair opened the public hearing and called for anyone supporting the rezoning request to come forward and speak. Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 6 of 13 Robert Baldwin, P O Box 1295, Ramseur, addressed the Planning Board and said that he has ten road tractors and thirteen trailers and he is out of space at his existing location at the intersection of US Hwy 64 E and Eastern Randolph Rd and needs to be able to expand his business. Joyce asked Baldwin if he would have trucks in and out of the property twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and Baldwin answered no. Baldwin stated that this location would only be used to store trailers or extra trucks and it would only be used for storage. Joyce stated that he goes by Baldwin’s site on US Hwy 64 E and it always looks nice and clean. Cable agreed with Joyce that the site on US Hwy 64 E always looks perfect. Cable went on to say to Baldwin that “you did what you said you would do” when you came before the Planning Board several years ago and he appreciates him following through with the plan. Joyce stated that unless it was raining, Baldwin’s trucks are always clean. Davis asked about a lighting and fencing plan and Baldwin said there will be a fence and lights at the site and it would be just enough to keep the site secure and safe. Baldwin said the lights at the rear property line and will be facing toward the road to try and eliminate any light going onto residential properties. Davis asked if the parking lot would be gravel. Baldwin answered yes. Davis asked Baldwin to estimate the number of trucks that could go on this property until it was at maximum capacity. Baldwin said he could put probably seven or eight trucks on the property and that this site is only going to be for storage and there will be no offloading of products. Baldwin said he wants to start leasing trailers and he cannot put all trailers on this property or his site on US Hwy 64 E. Davis asked Baldwin if he was going to put a building on the property and Baldwin replied that there will not be a building on the property and there would be a locked gate to help keep the site secure. Davis stated that he did receive a telephone call from a resident that could not attend the public hearing, asking about a buffer for the residential property. Baldwin said he would put into place whatever is required and Dale stated that the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance requires an eight-foot-tall privacy fence to be installed around the property at least one foot from the property line. Davis asked if the fence would cut down on the noise and Joyce said the fence would probably not do much to help with noise. Davis asked Baldwin if he was going to put a fence on the property line and Baldwin said that he will put up a fence on his property. Joyce asked Baldwin if he was going to leave trees and Baldwin says he wants to clear the trees, but he could put in a buffer if it would help. Davis stated that the property owned by Bobby Burgess will probably be the focus of calls related to noise and Baldwin again told the Board this site would be just for storage. Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 7 of 13 Beeson said that he thought the noise should not be a problem since Baldwin is just going to be storing trucks and trailers at this site. Joyce said it makes sense to him and that noise should not be an issue. The Chair asked if there was anyone else that wanted to speak in favor of the request. 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 said that it appears from the lower part of the picture that the proposal is a similar type of operation already in the area and that the request appears to be conducive to the area. Cable further stated that there is an existing natural buffer of trees on the property and Baldwin is wanting to use the site as a storage lot only and it seems to fit with the area considering the existing commercial development. Cable stated that he felt that the Holly Hill St residents should be okay during summer as the trees would have leaves to help serve as a natural buffer. Beeson said he agrees as there are already warehouses and trucks in this area but not to the extent of trucks that travel along US Hwy 64 E. Davis stated his concern is that the request location abuts residential property and the Planning Board should at least consider the concern expressed from the citizen that could not attend the public hearing. Davis continued that if the natural buffer is maintained and the remainder of the Planning Board thinks it is enough he will go along with the rest of the Planning Board. Davis said he would like a buffer along Baldwin’s rear property line to buffer the adjoining residential property. Cable said there are many trees and the closest house is to the left of the request location. Cable stated that the fence will have to be a privacy fence and he feels that since Baldwin did everything he said before at his existing location on US Hwy 64 E he will put up a good privacy fence and this location will not become an eyesore. Cable said that Baldwin takes pride in his business and this expansion will be good for the neighborhood and Randolph County. Pell asked if the privacy fence has to be one foot from the property line and Dale responded that the statement was correct. Vaughan 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 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 all agreed-upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Slusher made a second to the motion to approve the rezoning request. Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 8 of 13 The Chair, having a proper motion and second, called the question on the approval of 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 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 all agreed-upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. The Planning Board members voted unanimously to rezone the property. Dale presented the fourth case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site. REZONING REQUEST #2021-00003195 The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a Legislative Hearing on the request by SCOT C ANDERSON, Trinity, NC, and his request to rezone 17.55 acres at 1105 Thayer Rd, Tabernacle Township, Lake Reese Balance Watershed, Tax ID #7703674155, Thayer Plantation Subdivision, Section 4, Lot #17 Rural Growth Area, from RR-CD - Residential Restricted - Conditional District to RR-CD - Residential Restricted - Conditional District. The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow amending the existing Conditional District permit to allow lot 17 to be divided into a 3.00-acre lot and a 14.55 acre as per the site plan. The Chair opened the public hearing and called for anyone supporting the rezoning request to come forward and speak. Dale stated that Anderson is sick and unable to attend the meeting so Dale gave an overview of the request. The Chair asked if there was anyone else that wanted to speak in favor of the request. Jonathan O’Connor, 1175 Indian Creek, Trinity, stated that he lives at the backside of the property and that he was not in favor or opposition to the request but just wanted to know which part of the property Anderson is wanting to give to his son. O’Connor was able to review the site plan and determine which part of the property is being divided. The Chair asked if there was anyone else that wanted to speak in favor of the request. 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. Davis said that this is a sizeable track to be divided for a family member and that he does not see a problem with the request. Davis 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 included in the Planning Board agenda, submitted during the rezoning Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 9 of 13 presentation and as may be amended, incorporated into the motion, to be included in the minutes, as well as the site plan(s) with all agreed-upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Cable made a second to the motion to approve the rezoning request. The Chair, having a proper motion and second, called the question on the approval of 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 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 all agreed-upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan.

The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow a hosiery manufacturing plant as per the site plan. The Chair opened the public hearing and called for anyone supporting the rezoning request to come forward and speak. Jose Flores, 2302 White Pines Ln, Asheboro, rose to address the Planning Board. Flores said that the business had outgrown the existing building and needed to build to continue the business. Flores stated that the existing building is approximately 1,200 square feet and much of the space is used for storage for boxes and containers and they need more room for production. Davis asked about the size of the new building and Flores said the proposed building would be a 6,000 square foot metal building beside the existing building. Beeson asked if the warehouse will be used for materials and manufacturing and Flores responded yes. Slusher asked Flores if the new building will be using the same entrance from US Hwy 220 Bus S and Flores responded that they will continue to use the existing driveway and will not access the building from W Edgewood Cir. Davis asked Flores if he plans to clear-cut the property and if he had any plans for the property. Flores stated that they are going to clear enough of the property for the building Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 10 of 13 and a small parking lot and there are no further plans for expansion at this time. Davis asked about the operating hours and Flores responded that the business hours will be the same as the existing business. The Chair asked if there was anyone else that wanted to speak in favor of the request. 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 stated that this is just another success story for Randolph County, a great project and that Flores should be commended for his hard work that caused the need for this expansion.

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 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 all agreed-upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Beeson made a second to the motion to approve the rezoning request. The Chair, having a proper motion and second, called the question on the approval of 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 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 all agreed-upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. The Planning Board members voted unanimously to rezone the property. Dale presented the last case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site REZONING REQUEST #2021-00003299 The Randolph County Planning Board will hold a Legislative Hearing on the request by DENGAR SERVICES, LLC, Colfax, NC, and their request to rezone 10.03 acres out of 15.23 acres at 5678 Poole Rd, New Market Township, Randleman Lake Critical Area Watershed, Tax ID #7737160957 and 7737072262, Rural Growth Area, from RA - Residential Agricultural District to HC-CD - Highway Commercial - Conditional District. The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow a hauling company to transport raw material by dump trucks as per the site plan. Property Owners: Abundant Life Tabernacle, Inc., and Life Tabernacle Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 11 of 13 Pentecostal Church, Inc. The Chair opened the public hearing and called for anyone supporting the rezoning request to come forward and speak. Dennis Allred, 8912 Cedar Spring Dr., Colfax, explained to the Board there was a clerical error in the application process and the applicant is Dengar Services, LLC., rather than the GLH Services, Inc., as originally advertised. The application was corrected and signed at the meeting. Allred said he owns a company like Mr. Baldwin which presented his request earlier in the evening. He said they currently rent a facility in Thomasville for their business which has increased during the pandemic. He said they would like to relocate to this site because it has easier access to major highways. Joyce asked if he would have construction debris located on the property and Allred answered no. He said there may be some raw material on-site such as stone but most of the hauling would be from site to site and not stored on the property. Cable asked how many trucks would be on site. Allred said they currently have ten trucks and some of the trucks are used out of town and will not always be parked on site. Cable asked what type of trucks he owns. Allred said he has mostly quad-axle trucks and one tractor with a trailer. He said there may be a few trailers stored on-site that are not being used and their goal is to make their site look as good as Mr. Baldwin’s storage site that had been mentioned earlier. Davis asked Allred if he planned on leaving the existing vegetation and Allred answered yes. Davis asked about the number of employees and Allred said they currently have nine employees. Robert Campbell, 5818 Poole Rd, Archdale, stated that he owns sixty-two acres which adjoins this parcel, and he had a few concerns which he thinks have been worked out with Allred but would like the Board to be aware. He said the building that is being proposed has significant elevation and he is concerned that if grading is done or natural vegetation removed, it will have tremendous erosion effects on his farmland. He said Allred has told him he will not remove the natural vegetation. Campbell asked if this zoning is approved for ten acres property trading took place to change property lines, how difficult would it be to change the zoning back. Dale explained that it would require a rezoning process and explained that there must be enough property to meet the impervious surface requirements for the Randleman Lake Watershed Regulations. Brian and Heather Lindsey, 5650 Poole Rd, addressed the Planning Board to express their concern about the effect of property value and taxes if the rezoning is approved. Lindsey stated he was not against the rezoning but would like to know how this would impact his property. Joyce said that the Planning Board members are not appraisers so they do not know how this would impact a tax bill. Morgan stated that the tax bill on the request location would probably go up but that is a question for the Tax Department. Cable asked Lindsey if he had talked with Mr. Allred and Lindsey responded that they Planning Board Minutes December 7, 2021 Page 12 of 13 have had a little talk about the request and his plans. The Chair asked if there was anyone else that wanted to speak in favor of the request. 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 thanked Allred for speaking to the neighborhood before the meeting because it is always good to have an open dialogue before the public hearing. Davis said that this is his “turf” and he is very familiar with the property and having Interstate 74 come through this area it will continue to grow and he feels this request fits the area. Davis 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 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 all agreed-upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Cable made a second to the motion to approve the rezoning request.
