179 Home Park ordinance. The Zoning officers shall be clothed with the authority to issue warnings concerning violations and to proceed with enforcement actions. Decisions of the Zoning Office may be appealed to the City Council; decisions of the City Council may be appealed to the Superior Court. Comparable fees for zoning permits shall be charged for Minimum Lot and Mobile Home Park permits. These fees shall be retained by the County and credited against the compensation due the County under paragraph three above. 6. The Planning Department of Cabarrus County will offer professional advice and services to the Kannapolis Planning Board and Kannapolis City Council in planning and zoning studies when called upon to do so. 7. The City of Kannapolis shall assume liability for the actions of Cabarrus County employees when acting on behalf of the City. Chairman Lentz introduced discussion of the construction of the new Kannapolis Branch Library. He expressed concern that the general contractor could not obtain a building permit until after a conditional use hearing by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on March 26, 1985. Mr. Charles D. McGinnis, County Manager, also reported that the plans for the library would have to be submitted to the State for approval before the building permit could be issued. Chairman Lentz asked Mr. McGinnis to take any necessary action that could speed up the permit process for the library construction. There being no additional regular items of business to discuss, the Board began the public hearing regarding proposed Zoning Atlas and Text Amendments. Mr. F. A. Rankin, Chairman of the Cabarrus County Planning Board, presented each of the proposed amendments as recommended by the Planning Board. Ms. Debra Luckadoo-Shockley, member of the Cabarrus County Planning staff, reviewed the location of the areas proposed for rezoning. Public input was received by the Board prior to action regarding each of the proposed amendments. ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENTS (1) Petition 85-01. Charles W. Stroud, township 4, Red Street at Hillcrest Drive, Map/PIN 5613(05)-18-8440, 8614, 6697. Wishes to rezone from RMF-6 to C-3. This request was denied by the Planning Board 5 to O, as the surrounding land use, as well as the steep slope of the parcels did not make it a suitable site for commercial development. Ms. Blondie Bost, adjoining property owner, complained of the poor condition of the lot and stated there were cars, roofing materials, and slabs located on the property. Mr. Charles W. Stroud, property owner, requested approval of the rezoning petition and stated he would accept a C-1 or C-2 zone if he could not obtain the C-3 classification. He advised the Board that he was in the process of removing the numerous blocks of concrete and leveling the property. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Barnhardt and unanimously carried, the Board denied Petition 85-01 by Charles W. Stroud to rezone property on Red Street at Hillcrest Drive from RMF-6 to C-3. (2) Petition 85-02. Wade Hammonds, township 4, Mooresville Road and Bethpage Road, Map/PIN 5603(12)-86-6235. Wishes to rezone from R-9 to C-2. This request was approved 3 to 2 by the Planning Board. The Board felt with sufficient grading the topographic limitations of the parcel would be minimized. Mr. James E. Scarbrough, attorney representing Mr. Wade Hammonds, requested approval of the rezoning petition to allow Mr. Hammonds to build a restaurant and retail store on the property. He stated that visability at the intersection of Mooresville Road and Bethpage Road would be improved by the grading of the hillside and that the development of the property would have no negative effects on the adjoining land.
