Morgan, township 4, Eddleman Road near Cannon Boulevard, Map/PIN 5623(17)-00-1525. Wishes to rezone from R-9 to C-3. This request was denied 5 to 0 by the Planning Board fearing extension of the commercial district would harm the surrounding residential district. Mr. Jerry D. Morgan requested the rezoning to allow an outlet on Eddleman Road for his used car lot located on Cannon Boulevard. He stated plans to build a car cleaning operation in the backyard of the property and to convert the existing house into office space. No one spoke in opposition to the rezoning request. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Upright, seconded by Commissioner Barnhardt with Commissioners Upright, Barnhardt, and Hamby and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioner Payne voting against, the Board approved Petition 85-06 by Jerry D. and Shirley F. Morgan to rezone property on Eddleman Road near Cannon Boulevard, Map/PIN 5623(17)-00-1525 from R-9 to C-3. (7) Petition 85-07. Robert R. Nelson, township 2, southside of Untz Road, Map/PIN 4691-43-5084, 3112. Wishes to rezone from ARR to RMF-7. The Planning Board denied this request 4 to 1 feeling this area was not suitable for multi-family due to concerns over the water/sewer services. Mr. James E. Scarbrough, attorney representing Mr. Robert R. Nelson, requested the rezoning, stating it was Mr. Nelson's intent to upgrade the existing 18-unit mobile home park under provisions of current mobile home park standards and develop a 42-unit park. He stated the improvements would include a state approved water system and waste treatment plant, paved roads, recreational area, and landscaping~ Mr. Scarbrough noted that Mr. Nelson would be willing to accept a Planned Development Overlay (PDO) for the property. In conclusion, Mr. Scarbrough stated in his opinion the Board should allow the upgrading of existing mobile home parks rather than the establishment of new parks in the county. Mr. Robert Nelson, property owner, stated that the planned improvements to the park would have a favorable impact on the property values in that neighborhood. Mr. Tommy Fisher, resident of Untz Road, presented a petition containing the signatures of 17 families of Untz Road who were opposed to the rezoning. He expressed concern regarding the future of the neighborhood and the possible expansion of the mobile home park if additional land became available. Mr. Harper Hiner, resident of Untz Road, objected to the rezoning and stated the addition of more mobile homes would destroy the nice park that now exists. Ms. Debra Waddell, resident of the existing Coddle Creek Mobile Home Park and representative of all families living there, spoke in favor of the rezoning. She asked that Mr. Nelson be allowed to make the planned improvements to help the current residents.
