Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes October 19, 1995 Page 14 parcel is located." George Bell - book entitled North Carolina Real Estate, defines spot zoning as "The zoning of a particular tract of land in a matter that is inconsistent with the zone of the surrounding area". He said either of those descriptions fit exactly the problem we are talking about this evening. He said the other problem, which has already been mentioned, is crime, also traffic, loss of property value for the residential properties in the area, infringement on the property rights of the majority in the area, and we have a patchwork quilt zoning program that makes no rhyme or reason. Mr. Hill asked the Board to honor the citizens wishes and deny this petition. Mr. Dwayne Baron, Property Owner, addressed the Board asking how many units can Mr. Wilson put on his property. He asked that the Board deny this rezoning request. The Chair said about 300 units. Mr. Jack Garmon, Property Owner, addressed the Board stating he is here tonight representing Mr. Hatley, and he hopes the Board will deny this rezoning petition. Mr. Charles Kneeburg, Property Owner, addressed the Board asking them to leave the zoning as it is. Mr. Wilson said he would have his lawyer to set up some rules for the storage facility. He said as far as drugs, anything could happen, but he would be there to oversee this facility. The Chair said the crime thing seems to be a big issue with a lot of the residents around. She asked Mr. Wilson if he would be amenable to setting some restrictions on the hours of operation and making them only during daylight7 Mr. Wilson said earher he stated that the hours would be from 5:00 or 6:00 am until 7:00 or 7:30 in the afternoon, and no one else would be able to get in there, because the gate would be locked. He said if he had that facility them, he would be protecting the neighbors property because he would be there everyday.
