4O5 Mr. Wade Broadway spoke in support of the Speedway, stating that the Cystic Fibrosis organization had been granted the privilege of using the Speedway facility for a bike-a-thon during the past two years. Mr. Wade Black, resident of Lake Shore Estates and owner of property located on Flowes Store Road, stated there had been no depreciation on tax values for property adjacent to the Speedway. Ms. Judy Hermitte, resident of the area, spoke against the rezoning, stating it was unfair to change the residential environment of the area. Mr. George Barnard, area resident, spoke against the rezoning. At the request of Mr. Barnard, a number of persons at the meeting stood in opposition to the rezoning. Mr. Wayne Schmitz, area resident, opposed the rezoning. He stated it was unfair to the families living in that area as well as to the churches and the facility for the handicapped located in that section of the county. Mr. Schmitz further stated that property in the area had been devalued and that the rezoning to I-2 would open the door to factories and further devaluation of the residential property. In conclusion, he stated that rezoning the property to I-2 would not be in the best interest of that area of the county. Mr. Henry Furr, owner of the Speedway, stated he had requested the rezoning of the property because he was unable to expand the Speedway under the current zoning classification. He further complained that he was limited to eight special events per year and was required to obtain a permit from the Zoning Office each time he wished to hold such an event. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Commissioner Upright with Commissioners Payne, Upright, and Hamby and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioner Barnhardt voting against, the Board denied Peti- tion 86-06 to rezone Concord Motor Speedway from ARR to I-2/RDO. (2) Petition 86-07. Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church, Pennsylvania Avenue at the entrance to Cloverleaf Shopping Center, township 4, Map/PIN 5622(13)-3461,3322. The original rezoning request was from R-9 to C-3. This request was denied at the Planning Board meeting by a 4-1 vote. After a discussion between the planning staff and church officials, both parties agreed to change the requested rezoning from C-3 to O-I. The O-I request would be a more restric- tive zone, making this request a valid revision of the original petition. Reverend Charles Rogers, Pastor of the Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church, stated that the Church was requesting the rezoning at this time in an attempt to sell the former parsonage for office space. He reported that the Church had voted in conference to change the rezoning request of the parsonage from C-3 to O-I. Reverend Rogers agreed to provide a copy of the minutes of the Church conference in regards to this action to the County. There was no one present to speak against the rezoning request.
