application for 2:30 p.m. on February 6, 1989.
Road Assessment Policy
Frank Willis introduced a road assessment policy written by the staff for the
Commissioners' consideration. Mr. Willis explained that a formal administrative
policy would be a tremendous help to both staff and citizens when the County is
involved in making special assessments against benefitted property to recoup the
cost of financing the local share of street paving costs.
On motion of Langley, seconded by Petty, the Board adopted this road assess-
ment policy as a County policy, to be placed in the County's Administrative Policy
and Procedures Book.

names to the Commissioners by April. The property addressing portion of the
project will be phased in gradually after it has been tested in one area of the
county. Names for road signs will be sent to the state after the Commissioners
have adopted all names. It will take about eight weeks for the signs to be
completed and returned.
Budget Amendments
On motion of Comer, seconded by Petty, the Board approved Budget Amendment

On motion of Langley, seconded by Davidson, the Board approved Budget
Amendment #14 in order to decrease Reappraisal fund balance appropriated by
$3,644 and to increase interest on investments by $3,644. This amendment was
necessary because the actual funds available for appropriation are less than
originally estimated. Budget Amendment #14 included by reference.

his sons live on the property.
Wayne McIntyre, McLeansville, said he has purchased 15 acres nearby and is
planning to build a $150,000 home on a hilltop there. He said that from the hill
he would be able to see the entire mobile home park and he doesn't want to have to
look at that.

owners opposing this request. Approximately 25 people in the audience stood in
support of Mr. Routh's comments. He said it would not be in the best interest of

would be hooked up to a nearby development for sewage.

sewage system Mr. Morgan referred to.

posed for the 90 acres.

able to the Residential Restricted zoning recommended by the Planning Board and
that they could build site -built homes and would have the state inspect the
entrance of the road.
Bruce King, adjoining property owner, presented a petition with 146 names
opposing the request. He said that the proposed entrance poses a safety hazard
because the hill creates a blind spot.
Jerry Gillespie, adjoining propertylowner, said there are farms on all four
sides and he wants the community to stay,a farming area.

60,000 chickens and he is afraid new residents would complain about his chickens,
which are only 300 feet from the property line.

owner. He said the land could not support wells and septic tanks and that this
development would harm the area. About 1,5 people in the audience stood in support
of Mr. Outen' s comments.
Willie Gillespie, neighbor, said the back acreage is marshy and that the 7
proposed driveways on the hill would be dangerous because drivers can't see far
enough.

property, but that no one can do anything with it until it is rezoned.
