The total building space developed for crafts shall not exceed two thousand (2,000) square feet gross, and shall be of a similar design to that of surrounding residential dwellings. This definition was approved by the Planning Board. There was no one present to speak either for or against the text amendment. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Nash, seconded by Commissioner Barnhardt and unanimously carried, the Board adopted Petition 84-04 defining Craft Shops as recommended by the Planning Board and stated above. (5) Petition 84-05. Amend page 122 to include: Extraction of Earth Products - the principal use of property involving the removal and non-chemical processing of natural deposits of mineral ores, soils or other solids, liquids or gaseous matter from their original location, by means of mining or quarrying for profit or commercial usage. Siltation of streams and erosion to soils in excess of one (1) acre are subject to permit approval by NRCD in Mooresville. This definition was approved by the Planning Board. Mr. Troy R. Cook expressed concern that the proposed definition would adversely affect farmers in the county. Mr. Allan Miles spoke against the proposed definition, stating it would affect contractors in grading work sites in the county. Ms. Tere Wood, President of the Midland Community Association, spoke in support of the proposed definition for the extraction of earth products. Mr. Wesley Grant, Attorney representing Martin Marietta Aggregrates, asked that the definition be referred back to the Planning Board for more review. He stated the proposed definition would raise numerous "what if" problems. Mr. Phillip G. Carroll, Attorney, stated he was opposed to any law or definition that would require interpretation by an administrator. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Milloway and unanimously carried, the Board referred the proposed definition for the extraction of earth products back to the Planning Board for reconsideration and reinterpretation. The definition is to be considered by the Board of Commissioners at the zoning meeting in January, 1985. Mr. F. A. Rankin, Chairman of the Cabarrus County Planning Board, introduced the proposed Lot Size Reduction Amendment which had been pre- sented to the Board of Commissioners for consideration on September 6, 1984. At that time the Board of Commissioners had recommended that the Ten-Year Growth Area included as a part of the Lot Size Reduction Amendment be expanded to included two additional areas of the county. Mr. Rankin stated that the Planning Board had made the changes proposed by the Board of Commissioners and was again recommending the adoption of the Lot Size Reduction text amendment. Ms. Betty Loftis and Ms. Tere Wood expressed concern that the Midland area was not included in the proposed Ten-Year Growth Area. Ms. Loftis stated in her opinion the Ten-Year Growth Plan should include the entire county.
