<br />
<br />Petition 90-06. Billy Plummer, end of Burlwood Road, township 1, Map/PIN
<br />5526-14-4357. Wishes to rezone from ARR to R-30. The Planning Board
<br />tabled this petition to the May 21, 1990 Commissioners meeting.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Billy Plummer, petitioner and resident of 1507 Burlwood Road, and Mr.
<br />Don Dieson of Broadway & Knox Realty, spoke in support of the rezoning which
<br />would reduce the required lot size and permit the development of a mobile home
<br />subdivision. Arguments in favor of the rezoning request included the location
<br />of existing mobile homes in the area, the suitability of the area for the R-30
<br />zoning, lack of through traffic in the area, and the site's convenient location
<br />to Concord.
<br /> Persons speaking in opposition to the proposed rezoning included the
<br />following.
<br />
<br />Mr. Bill Proctor Resident of Monterosa Subdivision which is located
<br /> adjacent to the property proposed for rezoning
<br />Ms. Elva Motley 9532 Lower Rocky River Road, Concord
<br />Mr. James Scarbrough - Attorney representing residents of the area opposed
<br /> to the rezoning

<br />Mr. Ross McKinnon Morrison, III
<br />Miss Sheila Hamer - 1413 Burlwood Road, Concord
<br />Ms. Shirley Hamer - 1413 Burlwood Road, Concord
<br />
<br /> Arguments against the proposed rezoning included the following: opposition
<br />to an additional mobile home park containing'single wide mobile homes; desire
<br />for quality growth in the area; potential threat to current property values;
<br />placement of additional burden on the schools; inadequacy of Burlwood Road to
<br />serve the proposed development and creation of traffic problems for other roads
<br />in the area; possibility of spot zoning; area best suited for large lots;
<br />incompatibility with County's Land Development Plan; and the discharge from a
<br />private sewage treatment plant on the property into a creek which runs along the
<br />Harris Dairy Farm, a major dairy supplier in North Carolina.
<br /> There being no one else to speak either for or against the proposed
<br />rezoning, Chairman Lentz closed the public hearing for Petition 90-06.
<br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and
<br />unanimously carried, the Board denied Petition 90-06 by Billy Plummer to rezone
