Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes August 18, 1994 Page 21 Mr. Smith said he would like to make a comment to Mr. Watkins. He said he understands some of his concerns but he think maybe he should check into some of the regulations within the County, because some of the things that he said they cannot do, unless he has conveyance in a subdivision restricting them, he can have an office in his house. He said he is saying if Mr. Wilson builds a house there today, he has no restrictions on his deed, and he can create a Rural Home Occupation. Mr. Kneeburg, Resident, addressed the Board presenting them with an article from the Charlotte Observer concerning mini-warehouses stating that he would like for the board to look over this article before they decide how to vote tonight. Paying particular attention to the areas he highlighted. He then read aloud to the audience selected portions from the article. Mr. Kneeburg said he does not view this kind of business as being suitable for residential areas but more appropriate for some undeveloped commercial industrial land that is just a couple of miles down the road in the Highway 24-27 area and U.S. Highway 601 South. Mr. Wilson said he would like to address some of the residents concerns. He said he plans on living there. As far as drugs goes, he plans on being there to supervise this business and he will see what is coming in and going out. The Chair said she is sure that they did not disparage Mr. Wilson personally, it is just the general concern. She said to Mr. Wilson that it may not always be his facility, and she does not think it was directed towards him. Mr. Wilson said he could amend that. If he move or sell the house, he will tear down this facility. He said the only reason he wants this facility for is his occupation. He said the board can put that in there that it will not be sold to anyone else. Ms. Schriefer said to the board that she would like to point out that Mr. Wilson had included in the packet a hand written letter to each member. As far as the lights are concerned, there are performance standards which are attached to self- storage facilities. The board can adopt or put on this petition as a condition that the petitioner adhere to anyone of these standards or to all of them. Mr. Jeter said on page 95 of the Performance Base Standards, he is looking at the list of occupations that are allowed without coming to the board. He asked if they allow other occupations besides these that are enumerated on page 95 to exist without being blessed by the board?
