<br />public hearing on proposed Zoning Atlas, Zoning Text, and Subdivision Regulations
<br />Text Amendments. Dr. Nancy Randall, Planning Board Chairman, presented each of

<br />
<br />(1)
<br />
<br />Petition 89-13. Little, Morrison, and Linder, off Roberta Road adjacent
<br />to Wolf Meadow Acres, township 2, Part of Map/PIN 5519-42-7472. Wishes
<br />to rezone from R-30 to R-7.2. The Planning Board voted 4-0 to deny this
<br />petition.
<br />
<br /> Mr. William G. Alexander, Attorney representing the owners, developers and
<br />petitioners, spoke in support of the rezoning to allow the development of a
<br />mobile home park on the property. He stated the need for mobile home sites and
<br />the appropriateness of the property for a mobile home park.
<br /> Mr. Oren Barnley of Wolf Meadow Subdivision opposed the rezoning request.
<br />He objected to the location of a rental mobile home park on the site and stated
<br />in his opinion the park would cause damage to the Wolf Meadow, Old South, and
<br />Picture Park areas. Mr. Barnley also commented that the park would add to the
<br />traffic on Roberta Road and create overcrowding in the school.
<br /> Mr. Rick Sellars, resident of the Old South Community and a member of the
<br />Board of Directors of the Manufactured Housing Association, spoke against the
<br />rezoning. According to Mr. Sellars, there is no need for additional rental
<br />mobile home sites at this time.
<br /> Mr. Bernard Shipman of the Old South Homeowners Association objected to
<br />the rezoning, stating he was against rental units on the property and the
<br />proposed high density mobile home park.
<br /> Ms. Joyce Wells who lives across the street from the proposed mobile home
<br />park opposed the rezoning. She cited devaluation of property and security
<br />problems.
<br /> Ms. Betsy Covington, teacher at Wolf Meadow School, spoke against the
<br />rezoning. She stated in her opinion the mobile home park would increase the
<br />transient population and bring problems to the school.
<br /> Mr. Ralph Smith of Blackwelder Estates stated opposition to the mobile home
<br />park.
<br /> Other persons speaking against the proposed rezoning were as follows: Mr.
<br />Harold Easley, Mr. Steve Coplan, Mr. Bernard Shipman, Mr. Mark Rogers, and Mr.
<br />J. C. Ritchie.
<br /> There being no one else present to speak regarding the proposed rezoning,
<br />Chairman Lentz closed the public hearing for Petition 89-13 at 7:35 P.M.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Melvin, seconded by Commissioner Hamby with
<br />Commissioners Melvin, Hamby, and Moss and Chairman Lentz voting against, the
<br />Board denied Petition 89-13 by Little, Morrison, and Linder to rezone property
<br />off Roberta Road, part of Map/PIN 5519-42-7472, from R-30 to R-7.2.
<br />
<br />(2)
<br />
<br />Petition 89-15. Jeff Yates, as agent for the owners, off Roberta Church
<br />Road, township 2, Map/PIN 5519-03-9316. Wishes to rezone from A-I to R-
<br />15. The Planning Board voted 3-1 to deny this petition.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Jeff Yates, petitioner, asked that Petition 89-15 be tabled as the City
<br />of Concord has adopted a resolution of intent to annex the property proposed for
<br />rezoning. He indicated that he would be willing to pay for any additional
<br />advertising costs.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Hamby, seconded by Commissioner Moss with
<br />Commissioners Hamby, Moss, and Melvin and Chairman Lentz voting for, the Board
<br />tabled Petition 89-15 by Jeff Yates until the February zoning meeting of the
<br />Board.
