Does the nonconformity compliment or detract from the overall aesthetic <br />character of the area.'? The appearance of the business from the road was stated as a <br />concern by the adjacem property owners. Their main concern was the piles of landscaping <br />materials placed at the road. <br /> <br />Another concern which was brought up was the filling and stock piling of material along <br />the creek bank. This is a legitimate concern. I would like to remind you that Cabarrus <br />County has a River/Stream Buffer Overlay Zone that restricts any type of activity within a <br />minhnum of fifty (in some cases more)of a river or stream. <br /> <br />After discussing both 3'our present operation and your proposed expansion with your <br />neighbors, I inspected fl~e site myself and found some of the same concerns. With tl'fis in <br />mind, I cannot issue a "Certificate of Nonconforming Adjustment" for your proposed <br />modular office building. <br /> <br />Section 14-I0 also states "If the Zoning Administrator, after an analysis of the facts of the <br />situation, finds the nonconformity cannot be adjusted, it will be handled as such and <br />subject to those provisions o£this Ordinance which deal with unreformable <br />nonconformities. A denied applicant may petition the Planning & Zonin~ Commission. <br />actin~ as a Board of Ad.iustment for review of the Zonin,o Administrator's decision within <br />30 days". <br /> <br />If you have any further questions or would like information about the appeal process, <br />please call our office at 788-8137. <br /> <br />Michael Do~ns <br />Zoning Administrator <br /> <br /> <br />
