Commissioners Frye, Langley, Davidson, Petty and Comer were present. Invocation was given by Rev. Barney Pierce of Thomasville Friends Meeting. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Petty, the minutes of the August 4 and August 27 meetings were approved. Dick Fowler, State Soil Conservationist, presented a proposed Contribution Agreement between Randolph County and the Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture for a soil survey project in Randolph County. The total estimated cost for the project is $520,145.00. Randolph County's share will be 1/3 of the total cost, approximately $173,400. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service and the State of North Carolina will each pay 1/3 of the total cost. The project will cover 495,376 acres (8900 acres of the Uwharrie National Forest are excluded from this project). Mr. Fowler indicated that staff will be available by December, 1986 to begin the project. The Board took no action of the Soil Survey Contribution Agreement but placed the item on their October agenda for execution at that time. Patty Sykes, Purchasing Agent, presented bids received on two 1987 longbed pickup trucks for the Building Inspections Office. Mrs. Sykes recommended that the bid be awarded to Freeman Ford based on proposed time of delivery and that performance bond be waived. A copy of bids and pertinent information is included by reference. On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board awarded the bid to Freeman Ford of Liberty based on proposed time of delivery and voted to require retaining the bid bond as a performance bond in order to insure early delivery date. On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board adjourned to an advertised 2:30 p.m. public hearing on an amendment to the Mobile Home Park Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinance which would require fencing around private sewage treatment package plants. Hal Johnson, Planning Director, showed a video film of a sewage plant with a security fence around it and a plant with no fence around the system. The system without a fence had several open areas large .enough for a child to fall in and drown. Chairman Frye asked for comment in favor of or opposed to the proposed amend- ment and no one spoke. He declared the public hearing closed. On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board approved the amendment to the Mobile Home Park Ordinance and to the Subdivision Ordinance, which reads as follows: "Private sewage treatment plants as approved by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management shall be required to be enclosed with a chain link fence a minimum of seven feet in height and locked when the plants are unattended. These requirements shall be retro- active to include existing private sewage treatment plants within Randolph County areas of jurisdiction within 180 days from adoption of this amendment." Commissioners Minutes September 8, 1986 Page 2 approved On motion of Comer, seconded by Petty, the Board/a proclamation declaring September 16-20 "Clean Up Randolph County Week" and a proclamation declaring September 21-27 "Emergency Medical Services Week." Copies included by reference. Darrell Hill of the Randolph County Schools provided information concerning a live project at Trinity High School. The project is a 1750 square -foot house built by Trinity's carpentry class. By law, the Board of County Commissioners have first option to purchase the house. On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board agreed they are not interested in purchasing the house. The house will be sold at public auction on October 4, 1986. The Board discussed a proposal from PTCOG concerning a proposed contract with CH2M Hill Engineers to study cost alternatives for Randleman Lake. Randolph County's share would be $4,899.60, based on the current formula used by PTCOG. The Board expressed their concern that Guilford County, who would benefit as much as or more than Randolph, is not participating in this study or in an earlier similar study done by CH2M Hill. It was their feeling that the Chairman should inform PTCOG that they do not agree with the cost sharing formula, and they tabled this matter until they get an answer on the formula. Hal Johnson, Planning Director, presented a request from the City of Asheboro asking the Board of Commissioners to release portions of property now within County zoning jurisdiction to the the jurisdiction of the City of Asheboro. The property in question is located in Asheboro Township at the corner of U.S. Highway 64 and Highway 42 and is owned by Reid Shaw et al, Paul Thomas et al, David Hocker et al, Mrs. Glen Davis et al, A. P. Sellers et al, and Mrs. R. P. Craven. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board agreed to release zoning jurisdiction to the City of Asheboro. On motion of Petty, seconded by Langley, the Board approved the addition of four streets to the State System of Roads. Copies of resolutions included by reference. George Elliott, Health Director, apprised the Board of a yisit he, J.D. Smith (sanitarian), and Wayne Wright (landfill operator) had maaento the Alamance County Health Department and landfill on August 14, 1986. The visit was in response to a recent request by that county for permission to transport solid waste to the Randolph County landfill for an unspecified period of time because of limited space in Alamance's landfill. Mr. Elliott pointed out that receiving Alamance's waste would more than double the amount of waste being processed at our landfill and would reduce this location's life span by more than half. Traffic would also double. He said the visiting group felt that available space in Alamance's present landfill has been grossly underestimated. Mr. Elliott also noted that our contract with Wayne Wright does not include out -of -county waste. Accepting extra waste would necessitate expansion of personnel and very costly equipment. The Board agreed that Randolph cannot accept the responsibility of receiving Alamance County's solid waste, especially in light of the fact that it does not appear to be a crisis situation. The Clerk was directed to inform Alamance of this decision. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board repealed four County ordinances which are obsolete and serve no purpose at this time. They are as follow: Ambulance Ordinance, Electrical Inspector Ordinance, Insulation Contractor Ordinance, and Mobile Home Registration Ordinance. Commissioners Minutes September 8, 1986 Page 3 County Manager Frank Willis presented his proposed allocation of the recently enacted additional k� sales tax. He noted that 60% must be used for schools' capital outlay. The remaining 40% may be used at Commissioners' discretion. The proposed uses were as follow: Asheboro City Schools - $50,000; Randolph County Schools - $460,000; City of Randleman (2 cost of pipe to connect Randleman to Asheboro's water system) - $62,000; Jail Capital Reserve Fund - $50,000; Contingency Appropriation (Ramseur Ambulance Station and Soil Survey) - $28,000; Fund Balance (return of funds appropriated at budget time) - $200,000. On motion of Langley, seconded by Petty, the Board accepted these allocation proposals. Copy of budget amendment is included by reference. On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board approved budget amendments for Social Services, Public Library and Mental Health. Copies of the budget amendments are included by reference. On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board adjourned to an advertised 4:00 p.m. public hearing concerning rezoning requests. Hal Johnson, Planning Director, presented five rezoning requests. The first was from Jerry and Barbara Trotter of Asheboro, who were requesting that approxi- mately one acre located on Crestview Road 800' east of U.S. 220 Business, zoning district Light Industrial - Conditional, Cedar Grove Township (Zoo Zoning area), be rezoned from Light Industrial - Conditional Use to Light Industrial. This would allow the owners to use the building for any light industrial use. The Planning Board recommended the request be denied until the applicant can be more specific as to the use. Daniel Baker, resident neighboring the acre in question, and speaking also for his wife and other neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Floyd, spoke in opposition to the request. He said that when Mr. Trotter got his conditional use permit two years ago he said he would run only one shift, pave the lot and put up a green belt, none of which he has done. Mr. Baker said he is afraid of what else might happen if this request is approved. The second request was from Randall J. Barnes of High Point, who were asking that two lots located immediately south of the Guil-Rand Fire Department at Hillsville, fronting on Archdale Road (SR 1004), Trinity Township, Zoning Map 2-3, be rezoned from Residential -Suburban to Highway -Commercial Conditional Use. It is the desire of the applicant to locate an automotive body repair shop. The Planning Board recommended unanimously that the request be denied because of encroachment into an established residential area. Mr. W. H. Wilkes, who is financing Mr. Barnes's business, spoke in support of the request, stating that all the property north of these lots are businesses and another business is located across the road. He said the building would increase property value. Dalton Harmon, Rt. 1, Trinity, owner of a house and three acres adjoining the lots in question on the back side, said that this is a beautiful residential area and he would like it to stay that way. He said that there is nothing to screen the proposed shop from his yard or home. Tommy Hayes, owner of adjoining land, said he would like this beautiful land to remain residential. Commissioners Minutes September 8, 1986 Page 4 Ruth Welborn, owner of the lots in question, in response to a concern over a septic tank, said that she has had the land perked and has the septic tank permit and has an easement on an adjoining lot to add more lines if necessary. The third request was from George D. Luther, Route 5, Asheboro, who was requesting that approximately 2 acres located on the east side of South U.S. 220 between SR 1121 and SR 2920, Zoning District E-2, Richland Township, be rezoned from 2nd Environmental District to Light Industrial -Conditional Use. The applicant desires to construct a sewing plant. The Planning Board recommended approval with the access to the property from U.S. 220 only and not from local subdivision road access. George Luther, owner of the lot, said that to enter from 220 would be very costly because he would be going through a swampy area. He asked to be allowed to enter from the subdivision road, as he would be passing only one house. Tommy Tolbert, subdivision resident (first house), said that there are too many children in the subdivision who are out playing and that business traffic would create too much potential for accidents. He also pointed out that the road has a blind curve in it. The fourth request was from Elton McNeill, Route 10, Asheboro, who was requesting that approximately 12 acres located on Luck Road (SR 2604), Zoning District E-2, Grant Township, be rezoned from 2nd Environmental District to Highway Commercial -Conditional Use. The applicant desires to to use approximately 50 feet of this 12 -acre tract for an automobile sales lot. The Planning Board recommended denial of the request as not being suitable to the residential agricultural character of area. Mr. McNeill was not present, nor did he appear earlier at the Planning Board public hearing. No one spoke in favor of or in opposition to this request. The fifth request was from Jerry Rodden Auction & Realty, Archdale, who was requesting that approximately 100 acres of land located on the west side of Kingsfield Road (SR 1595), Trinity Township, Zoning Map 1-1, be rezoned from Residential -Agricultural to Light Industrial. It is the desire of the applicant to develop an industrial park. The Planning Board recommended approval because the rezoning conforms to the Industrial growth of this area. Jerry Rodden spoke to say that he will sell lots for business, will pave 2 roads into the park, and hopes to be able to hook up to Archdale sewer lines. No one spoke in opposition. Chairman Frye declared the public hearing closed. On motion of Langley, seconded by Petty, the Board voted to deny the request of Jerry and Barbara Trotter, as recommended by the Planning Board. On motion of Petty, seconded by Comer, the Board voted to deny the reuqest of Randall Barnes, as recommended by the Planning Board. Chairman Frye noted that he had received several phone calls in opposition to this request. Commissioners Minutes September 8, 1986 Page 5 On motion of Comer, seconded by Davidson, the Board approved the request of George Luther with the stipulation that access be granted from U.S. 220 only, as recommended by the Planning Board. On motion of Petty, seconded by Langley, the Board denied the request of Elton McNeill, as recommended by the Planning Board. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Comer, the Board approved the request of Jerry Rodden Auction & Realty, as recommended by the Planning Board. On motion of Davidson, seconded by Langley, the Board adjourned.
