Planning and Zoning Commission <br />Minutes <br />October 11, 2022 <br />Ms. Hannah Barnhill, 676 Highway 24/27 E. Midland, NC,addressed the Board. She said if you <br />could see this in person you would never, ever say yes to this. His driveway,that is my driveway, <br />you would be like this is ridiculous. It is notas crispas this, it is more likethis,and it surrounds <br />my home. When I walk out ofmy houseeveryday,I will be seeing this man,literally,where my <br />drivewayusedto be. She does not feel comfortable with it, and she does not want this to happen. <br />None of the neighborsdo, this is family landaround us. We got lucky to get this house. The <br />twenty acres behind us is all family, both sides areall family. We got very lucky to get it because <br />they had a squabble. Butwe never expected after living there for two and a half years,for <br />someone to show up and start giving us demands and threatening to put up fences and building a <br />house in our driveway. <br />First of all, wetook care of that land for two and a half years. We did not see this man for two <br />and a half years and he shows up, his brother, sayingthat he is going to press charges on us for <br />trespassingbecause we were doing his yard work for two and a half years. <br />The frustration of the situation is weighing on my family,and when she walks out the door every <br />morning,she isangry because not only is she seeing his trashy cars and his pick-uptruck going <br />through her yard.She is also seeing him burn things and leavingit burning for three daysand <br />smoldering her back yard and her house.He is rude and disrespectful, and she does not want him <br />around. <br />My husband is trying to be nice aboutit,but she is tired of walking outside and being pissed-off <br />that our dream house is now being ruined. That is all she wanted to say. She apologizes,butshe <br />is very frustrated. <br />Mr. Corley would like to make a motion to close the Public Hearing. <br />Mr.David Hudspeth wants to ask a question. Where isher houselocatedon this?He is having <br />trouble understanding this. <br />The Chair asked Mr. Collins to point it the house. <br />Ms. Barnhill showed where her house is located on the diagram. She said our back fence is <br />where the red pin is.What he has istwo sheds at our back fence. When we walk out our back <br />doorwe see two sheds, his junk carsand all of that.Over here is where our driveway comes up <br />from the highway.(She shows on the diagram). This is our back door, our back gate, there is a <br />circular driveway right here.It ishisland literally, the guy we did not see for two and a half <br />years. You come up here, acircular driveway next to the back fence. This is the back of our back <br />fence. There are two sheds. He had moved it, itwas somewhere else, it belonged to the people <br />who owned her house. We did not careif he took itor what happened to itbecause it was onhis <br />landandmyland she believes. He had originally put some junk carsso when we walked out of <br />our back door that is what we saw. He has taken out our tree line back here. There is a field <br />behind it so there were trees, but now just a few trees and it has justkind of ruined our whole <br />backyard. <br />8 <br /> <br />
