310 Mr. F. A. Rankin, adjoining property owner to the proposed Coddle Creek Reservoir, expressed concern regarding the provision requiring a 100 foot vegetative buffer to be maintained in its natural state on all property adjoining the reservoir. He objected to the buffer being located on his property and stated in his opinion the 100 foot buffer for the Coddle Creek Reservoir should be located on property owned by the County where possible. Mr. Robert Dayvault who lives near a floodplain also expressed concern regarding the 100 foot vegetative buffer. A member of the audience questioned the effective date of the require- ment regarding commercial developments. The County Attorney advised that the requirement would be effective from the point of passage of the proposed amendment. There being no one else to speak regarding the proposed amendment, the public hearing was closed. Motion was made by Chairman Lentz and seconded by Commissioner Moss to return the proposed amendment to the Planning staff for more detailed infor- mation concerning the property lines and to get a clear cut definition in regards to land purchase and elevation. No vote was taken on this motion. UPON SUBSTITUTE MOTION of Commissioner Melvin, seconded by Chairman Lentz and unanimously carried, the Board adopted Petition 88-04 as recommended by the Planning Board and as stated above with the exception of the following Item 3 under Section 3.12-3 which was deleted and referred back to the Planning Board. (3) A 100 foot vegetative buffer shall be maintained in its natural state on all property adjoining the reservoir, no permanent structures shall be allowed in this buffer area. Chairman Lentz stated that this was the day and hour scheduled for a public hearing on the issue of closing a portion of Sand Clay Road and asked if anyone were present who wished to speak for or against the proposed road closing. Mr. Cecil King spoke in favor of the closing of a portion of Sand Clay Road on behalf of Mr. Tommy Freeman who is an adjoining property owner and petitioner for the road closing. He explained that this section of Sand Clay Road was no longer used by the public and that the State had abandoned this part of the road when Interstate 85 was built. Mr. King informed the Board that Mr. Freeman would like the road closed in order to arrange a land swap agreement to get legal access to Ivey Cline Road. Mr. William B. Cline spoke against the requested road closing, stating that the 44-foot right of way for Sand Clay Road belongs to the Cline family and Taylor family. He stated it was his understanding from the Department of Transportation that the old right of way for Sand Clay Road would go back to the original land owners. Mr. Cline asked that the Board take no action on the requested closing of Sand Clay Road until the matter is settled as to who owns the land. There was no one else present to speak for or against the proposed road closing. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Moss, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board tabled the request for the closing of a portion of Sand Clay Road until the rightful owner is decided at which time the matter can come back before the Board. The Board reviewed the proposal submitted by Wingate Paving Company to pave the parking area at the County Service Garage at a cost of $27,189.00. This proposal had been originally submitted at the Board meeting on December 7, 1987, with the following recommendations: (1) Waiver of the requirement for the furnishing of a performance and payment bond; (2) Employment of Law Engineering and Testing Company for $1,000.00 to verify compliance with County specifications as to quality of materials and installation; (3) Withholding of all payment until work is completed and verified by Law Engineering and Testing Company. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that the County not employ Law Engineering and Testing Company as recommended and that a 12-month guarantee on the paving project be required from the contractor. UPON MOTION of Chairman Lentz, seconded by Commissioner Moss and unani- mously carried, the Board waived the requirement for the furnishing of a performance and payment bond and awarded the contract for the paving of the parking area at the County Service Garage to Wingate Paving Company in the amount of $27,189.00 with the stipulation that the County get a 12-month guarantee on the paving work.
