Upright Chairman Lentz proposed that the Board designate the first Thursday of each month as a public hearing meeting for such items as road name changes in addition to zoning matters.

Page Realty, Inc., township 4, off 136 By-pass, Map/PIN 5622-36-2513. The original rezoning request was from R-40 to R-7.2; after discussion the Planning Board and Mr. Page agreed to change the rezoning request to R-40 to R-9. The Board voted 4-0 to approve, with Mr. Page abstaining. Mr. Ron Page, petitioner, requested the rezoning of approximately 12.25 acres of the 19.56-acre tract off Highway 136 from R-40 to R-9/PDO-H. He noted problems with the topographic conditions of the property and stated the PDO-H designation would allow smaller lot sizes as well as permit the side yard flexibility needed for the construction of duplexes on the property. Mr. Page advised the Board that officials of the Royal Oaks Sanitary District had verbally committed to provide water and sewer services to the portion of the property he planned to develop at this time. In conclusion, Mr. Page presented the following commitments for the area of PDO-H use. e To proceed with the development of this property in accordance with the PDO-H regulations of Cabarrus County and the plans presented. To place the necessary deed restrictions on this property to protect the natural area within the required buffer. To commit the present owner and future owners to the intent of these plans. Mr. Thomas B. Robinson, Planning Director, informed the Board that the advertisement for~the public hearing had been for a R-9 classification. However, he stated in his opinion the Board could approve the R-9/PDO-H request at this time as it was more restrictive than the advertised R-9 classification. Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, concurred with this opinion. As required by the Zoning Ordinance, Mr. Robinson presented the following report and recommendations regarding the PDO-H request by Mr. Page. Suitability of the proposal for the type of PDO category, physical characteristics of the land and relation to surrounding development. Finding: The proposed PDO makes good use of the property, and is compatible with surrounding land use and R-9 zoning. B. Relation to major roadways and utilities.
