276 NOW, THEREFORE: I, J. Harold Nash, by virtue of the power vested in me as Commissioners of the County of Cabarrus do proClaim and pronounce the week of May 1st - 7th, 1983--as "Be Kind To Animals Week," and do heartily commend to all our citizens a full participation in all the events related thereto in this community. COUNTY SEAL Signed: J. Harold Nash Mr. James M. Whitley, President of Whitley Motor Company, Inc., complained that his property had been incorrectly mapped by the County Mapping Department and, as a result of the mapping error, the property had not been zoned properly at the time the Zoning Ordinance and Atlas were adopted. He explained that he had been denied a building permit to add on to an existing building because that part of his property was incorrectly zoned residential and asked that the Board correct the zoning error. The Board referred Mr. Whitley's request for Correction of the Zoning Atlas error to the Planning Board. Mr. W. B. Murray of 2005 Carolina Avenue in Kannapolis complained that he was unable to build a carport'on the rear of his existing garage as it would not meet the 10-foot setback requirement stipulated by the Zoning Ordinance. He specifically objected to the $100.00 filing fee for a'variance from the Board of Adjustment. The motion by Commissioner Barnhardt and seconded by Chairman Nash to waive the $100.00 charge for Mr. W. B. Murray to apply for a variance to the Board of Adjustment failed with Commissioner Barnhardt and Chairman Nash voting for and Commissioners Lentz, Payne, and Milloway voting against. The Board took no action in the matter and recommended that Mr. W. B. Murray petition the Board of Adjustment for a variance in order to construct the carport on his property. The Board received a petition from Jon R. and Sadie B. Finger and Marshall L. and Eva M. Cheek for the closing of the section of Coventry Road described as follows. BEGINNING at an old iron stake, corner of Marshall Cheek, this stake being in the northern edge of Coventry Road at the point where it makes a right-angle turn to the north, and runs thence along the northern edge of the unopened roadway along the line of Marshall Cheek, North 85-56 East 308.8 feet to an iron stake on the western edge of Azalea Avenue; thence along Azalea Avenue and the unopened end of Coventry Road, South 5-12 West 50.17 feet to a stake; thence South 15-31 West 11.1 feet to a stake in the unopened section of Coventry Road; thence along the southern edge of the unopened section of Coventry Road, South 85-56 West 308.8 feet, more or less, to a point; thence across the western end of the unopened segment of Coventry Road, North 0-29 West 60 feet, more or less, to the point of Beginning.
