457 maintain and promote healthy growth. Any dead plants shall be replaced promptly with a plant of the same variety and size of the remaining plants. C. With natural screen planting, a strip of at least ten (10) feet in width shall be reserved for this purpose. Planting screens shall consist of plants at least three (3) feet high when planted and maintained in a healthy condition, and pruned so as to provide maximum opacity from the ground to a height of six (6) feet. Trees and shrubs shall be of an evergreen nature (such as scotch pine, holly, or red tip photinia), and shall be arranged in a minimum of one (1) planted row with distance between plants being no more than ten (10) feet. Trees and shrubs shall be of a nature that an average height of six (6) feet could be expected as normal growth within two (2) years from time of planting. Where intense shade or soil conditions would prevent adequate plant growth, a wooden fence or masonry wall may be allowed without plantings. Design in that case shall be subject to the approval of the Zoning Board of Adjustment in order to assure compatibility with adjacent land uses. D. In cases of unusual circumstances where screening is provided by existing natural or man-made features, and in which installation and maintenance of walls, fences, or natural planting would serve no screening purpose, the Zoning Board of Adjustment is hereby empowered to waive requirements for screening provided that the spirit and intent of this ordinance, and any provisions pertaining to screening are adhered to. The provisions and screening requirements of this ordinance shall be applicable to every lot with respect to a "Certificate of Zoning Compliance" for any new structure or use hereafter approved. The Chairman stated that The Cabarrus County Industrial Facilities and Pollution Control Financing Authority (hereinafter sometimes called the "Authority") has adopted a resolution expressing its intention to issue industrial revenue bonds and authorizing the execution and delivery of a Memorandum of Inducement and Intent pertaining to the financing of an industrial project for Craftsmen Fabrics Industries, Incorporated, a North Carolina corporation (the "Company"). The Company proposes to finance the acquisition of approximately 12 acres of land (the "Land"), the rehabili- tation and renovation of an existing manufacturing building containing approximately 110,000 square feet of space and located on the Land at 200 Manor Avenue, Concord, North Carolina (the "Existing Building"), the construction on the Land of a building addition to the Existing Building containing approximately 60,000 square feet of space (the "Addition"), and the acquisition and installation in the Existing Building and the Addition of certain new machinery and equipment (the "Equipment"; the Land, the Existing Building, the Addition and the Equipment hereinafter collectively called the "Project"), all to be used by the Company in the dyeing and finishing of circular knit fabric and related products. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Inducement and Intent, the Authority has requested that all or a portion of the cost of the Project be financed by issuance of industrial revenue bonds of the Authority in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $4,000,000. Copies of the resolution of the Authority and the Memorandum of Inducement and Intent were submitted to the Board. The Chairman stated that since the application of the Authority for approval of the Project cannot, under regulations of the North Carolina Department of Commerce, be officially received until, among other things, a public hearing is held on the Project and until the Board approves the Project in principle, the Authority has recommended and requested that the Board hold a public hearing on the Project. The Chairman then stated that notice of such public hearing had been published at least fourteen (14) days prior to the date of this meeting in a newspaper of general circulation in Cabarrus County. Thereupon, Commissioner Melvin moved that the Board proceed to hold a public hearing on the Project and the issuance of industrial revenue bonds of the Authority to finance the Project. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hamby and was unanimously adopted. At 7:25 o'clock, P.M., the Chairman announced that the Board would hear anyone who wished to be heard on the advisability of the Project and the issuance of industrial revenue bonds to finance the Project and that a representative of the Authority was present and was prepared to discuss the details concerning the Project and bond issue.
