approved Woolpert Recreational Planning Consultants, Charlotte, NC, on 9/18/02, to develop a
comprehensive recreational master plan for Randolph County. He mentioned that the Randleman Lake
would be a major part of this project. The TDA has asked for County staff and Water Authority
representatives to determine the appropriate scope of work. A detailed scope of work was presented to the
commissioners. The plan will be broken down into seven planning components: orientation/start-up, review
of demographic information, inventory of existing park facilities and programs, community needs
assessment, draft proposals and recommendations, final proposals and recommendations presented to TDA
for review and preliminary approval, and presentation to the Board of County Commissioners for final
approval and amendments. It is expected that final recommendations will be ready for presentation to the
Board of County Commissioners by October/November of 2003.
Tourism Development Authority Board Members Terms of Appointment
Hal Johnson told the Board that the TDA Board members have asked for clarification concerning
how special legislation (House Bill 337, February 26, 1997) addresses the number of terms a TDA member
may serve when appointed by the County Commissioners. The specific wording in question is "Except for
initial terms, the term of office shall be for three years. No member may serve more than two consecutive
three year terms." The County Commissioners may wish to ask our local state representatives to seek
amendment to the special legislation that would allow TDA members to serve unlimited consecutive terms at
the pleasure of the appointing authority, which is the Board of County Commissioners.
On motion of Frye, seconded by Davis, the Board voted unanimously to ask our local state
representatives to seek amendment to the special legislation that would allow TDA members to serve
unlimited consecutive terms at the pleasure of the Board of County Commissioners.

At 6:17 p. m. the Board recessed until 6:30 p. m.

At 6:30 p.m. the Board adjourned to a duly advertised public hearing to consider rezoning requests. Hal
Johnson, Planning and Zoning Administrator, presented the following requests, and Chairman Kemp opened
the public hearing for comments on each request and closed it before taking action on each request.
1. R & H MOTOR LINES, INC., Asheboro, North Carolina, is requesting that 1.90 acres (out of 36.00
acres), located at 3344 R H Drive, Union Township, be rezoned from RA to LI -CU to specifically allow R &
H Motor Lines, Inc. to expand their trailer storage yard. The Planning Board recommended unanimously
that this request be approved.
No one spoke.
On motion of Davis, seconded by Mason, the Board voted unanimously to approve the request of R & H
Motor Lines, Inc.
2. JAMES SMITH, Greensboro, North Carolina, is requesting that 14.02 acres located at 6788 Willard
Road, Liberty Township, be rezoned to amend the current Heavy Industrial/Conditional Use Zoning that
allows the operation of a go-kart raceway facility. The proposed amendment would include possible changes
in hours and days of operation. The Planning Board recommended unanimously that this request be
approved with the following conditions:
* total of 45 operating days per year (43 Fridays or Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., and 2 Sundays, 1 p.m.
to 7 p.m.)
* all trash must be picked up and disposed of within 48 hours after an event
* no burning of trash on-site, must be approved method of disposal
* 8 -ft. fencing around entire facility with the exception of a section along Willard Road
Mr. Johnson mentioned that Mr. Smith's first request was heard by the Planning Board on April 4, 2000 and
approved by the Board of Commissioners as a conditional use on May 1, 2000 with conditions that the Board
hoped would reduce the adverse effect on neighbors. However, Mr. Smith is still in violation of the original
conditions such as 1. some trees have not been planted; 2. the proposed playground is now a parking lot; 3.
parking/picnic area is now a parking lot; 4. bathrooms have not been built.
Kim Rotenberry, 7236 Willard Rd., spoke in support of Mr. Smith, saying that she is tired of all the
negativity surrounding this racetrack. She distributed letters of support from neighbors. She said that Mr.
Smith has invested a lot of money on this racetrack and has tried to comply with the imposed conditions and
that Mr. Smith runs a well-managed track. She lives 4 houses down the road from the track and says it
doesn't bother her.
Eight people stood in support of this request.
Bobby Westmoreland, 204 Wright St., Ramseur, spoke in support of this request and stated that Mr. Smith
had purchased the property from him and his brother. He also said that the adjoining property owner,
Marvin Wall, had expressed interest in buying the property but could not come up with the money. Mr.
Westmoreland said that Mr. Wall is the only person who ever complains about the racetrack because he still
holds a grudge for not being able to buy the track himself. Mr. Westmoreland added that the track brings a
lot of people to Liberty and does not operate during church hours. He said that Mr. Smith has made many
7
state-of-the-art improvements to the property including a natural habitat for fish. He said Mr. Smith has also
erected a nice flag stand.
Jim Smith, 4601 Schoolway Drive, Greensboro, applicant, said that he was never clear on exactly what was
required of him before and asked how long he had to build the bathrooms. He showed the Board, via a wall
map, where current fencing is and future fencing will be. He said that the new bathrooms were in his five-
year plan. He also said that he has tried to control the trash because he takes pride in this racetrack that has
been voted the third best track on the east coast. He wants to provide a facility where a family can come and
spend an entire day. He said that he has two deputies and emergency medical staff on duty for all the events.
Marvin Wall, 6911 Sandy Creek Church Rd., said that he was the adjoining property owner. He asked if any
of the Commissioners had looked over the fence toward Mr. Wall's property to see all the trash that had
spilled over. He said that the only way he can keep the trash picked up on his property is to call Hal Johnson
and complain. He said that if the Board would require a 30 -foot barrier (buffer) he would pick up Mr.
Smith's trash for the next 5 years. He said that he has not complained about the noise from the track, only
about the violations. He asked that the wording of the days and hours of operation be clarified as to whether
this would include practice times. He said that people start coming in on Friday before a Saturday event and
run on the track, which violates the hours of operation. He stated that he's been waiting for 3 years for the
required trees to be planted. He mentioned again that he would like a 30 -foot buffer with 3 staggered rows of
trees and specific wording in the conditions to prevent any misunderstanding of the requirements in the
future. He also complained about the dust created by the racers and the CO2 emissions that irritate the eyes.
He says that Mr. Smith is burying his trash on-site and that loads of trash from Mr. Smith's business are
being dumped and buried there. He asked that the State and County Health Departments come out to do
testing regarding air and water quality. He said that he needs a better buffer to provide protection from the
blinding lights as well.
Hazel Kimrey, 6844 Sandy Creek Church Rd., Staley, stated that she is not against the racetrack but thinks
that the noise and lighting from the track is excessive. She's says that she's bothered by the additional race
days. She said that all his operating days are on the weekends, which means that there are few peaceful
weekends in a year's time that the neighbors have to enjoy. She works evenings and the lights are still on
when she comes home after 11:00 p.m.
On motion of Frye, seconded by Mason, the Board approved the request of Jim Smith by a vote of 4-1
with Kemp opposing, with language specific in the conditions that by October 18, 2002, all the fencing must
be completed and adequate trash containers be situated on-site and all plantings must be in place by
October 31, 2002 and with all the other conditions recommended by the Planning Board (see above).
3. JAMES & MARY KIVETT, Staley, North Carolina, are requesting that 10.17 acres located on
Soapstone Mountain Road, Columbia Township, Sandy Creek Watershed, be rezoned from RA to RLOR-
CU. The proposed Conditional Use Zoning District would specifically allow the development of a 2 -lot
subdivision for site -built homes, modular homes and Class -A doublewide mobile homes on permanent
masonry foundation with a minimum house size of 1,200 sq. ft. The Planning Board recommended
unanimously that this request be approved.
Jerry King, 154-B S. Fayetteville St., Asheboro, spoke on behalf of the applicant. He said that Mrs. Kivett
couldn't sell the property as a 10 -acre tract, so he recommended that she divide it into 2 tracts. Mr. King told
the Board that there is a sharp curve in the road that the property fronts on but that the roads curves favorably
in the direction that provides a little better sight distance. He added that there was very little traffic and
distributed photos of the area to the Board. He said that he recommended double-wides with permanent
foundations for this tract.
Hazel Kimrey, 6844 Sandy Creek Church Rd., Staley, said that she had been before the Board several
months ago about another nearby subdivision request and the Board denied it. She is very upset because
folks are trying to beat the system by subdividing bigger tracts of land just to get the zoning changed. She
also has concerns about water supply and septic issues. She would like to see this area remain rural.
Ted Fulk, 2151 Soapstone Mountain Rd., said that there was more traffic on this road than Jerry King
alluded to. Mr. Fulk said that he hit a cow in this curve one night. He asked the Board to do what's right and
deny this request.
On motion of Frye, seconded by Holmes, the Board voted unanimously to deny the request of James
and Mary Kivett.
