<br /> The Board of Commissioners for the County of Cabarrus met at the County
<br />Courthouse in Concord, North Carolina, on Thursday, November 6, 1986, for a
<br />public hearing on proposed Zoning Atlas and Text Amendments.
<br /> Present - Chairman: James W. Lentz
<br /> Commissioners: Kenneth F. Payne
<br /> William G. Hamby, Jr.
<br /> Archie Y. Barnhardt
<br /> Marcelle M. Upright
<br /> Chairman Lentz introduced discussion of the $35,000.00 State grant to the
<br />Piedmont Farmers Market and the return of the check by the County to the State
<br />Budget Office with the request that the check be made payable to the Piedmont
<br />Farmers Market, Inc. He stated the State could not take any action to reissue
<br />this check until February and this delay would present a problem for the
<br />Farmers Market as the property owner from whom the organization is purchasing
<br />land desires a substantial payment on the property prior to January 1, 1987.
<br />Chairman Lentz proposed that the County request that the check be returned and
<br />the County enter into an agreement with the Piedmont Farmers Market, Inc., for
<br />the disbursement of the money.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Barnhardt and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board moved that the County get in touch with the
<br />State Budget Office and ask that the check for the Piedmont Farmers Market,
<br />Inc., be sent back to the County and that at the time the check gets back to
<br />the County an agreement will be drawn up between Cabarrus County and the
<br />Piedmont Farmers Market, Inc., for the disbursement of the money.
<br /> Mr. Larry Loving, Chairman of the Cabarrus County Planning Board, pre-
<br />sented each of the proposed Zoning Atlas and Text amendments as recommended by
<br />the Planning Board. Mr. Philip Kingsland, member of the County Planning
<br />staff, reviewed the location of each of the areas proposed for rezoning.
<br />Public input was received prior to action by the Board.
