Mr. F. A. Rankin explained that property belonging to Mr. Jack Alston on Highway 73 had been zoned ARR by the Board of Commissioners at a meeting on January 5, 1982, but had been incorrectly mapped as R-40. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Milloway, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board moved that property located in Township 4, Map/PIN 5611-05-3296, 15-7482, and 25-4194, be made to read ARR in the Zoning Atlas as approved by the Board on January 5, 1982. (2) Petition 84-01, Mr. & Mrs. Herman Childers, Township 4, Northeast corner of Lane street and Wright Avenue. Map/PIN 5624(19)-61-5597, 61-6551. Wishes to rezone from C-1 to C-3. The Planning Board unanimously denied this request, feeling that an eventual traffic problem would result and also wanted to perserve the character of the surrounding neighborhood. A petition containing thirty-seven (37) signatures was received by the Board in opposition to the rezoning of the property from C-1 to C-3. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Childers requested the rezoning, stating that the warehouse would be used for the temporary storage of such products as soaps, detergents, and softeners before delivery to their customers by Mr. Childers and would create no traffic problem in the neighborhood. Mrs. Childers stated they had no plans to sell the property although they could not guarantee that it would not be resold at some point in the future. In response to the petition opposing the rezoning, Mrs. Childers stated she had found that only five of the persons listed on the petition lived in the neighborhood. Mrs. Childers further stated that she had talked with thirteen (13) families living in Cabarrus County within one block of her property and had found one family who signed the petition and three families who were opposed to the rezoning. In conclusion, Mrs. Childers noted that the Board of Commissioners had rezoned property within one-half block of her property from R-9 to C-3 in November, 1982. Ms. Teresa Moffitt, adjoining property owner, and Ms. Betty Williams, resident of Lane Street, supported the rezoning of the property. Mr. Rick Towell of the Kannapolis Sanitary District Fire Department stated that he and Mr. James L. Pharr, Fire Marshal, had reviewed the data sheets on the products to be stored in the warehouse and had found nothing that would be more hazardous than a house fire. Motion was made by Commissioner Payne and seconded by Chairman Lentz to approve Petition 84-01 to rezone the property from C-1 to C-3 with Commissioner Payne and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioners Milloway and Barnhardt voting against. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Payne, seconded by Chairman Lentz with Commissioners Payne and Barnhardt and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioners Milloway voting against, the Board deferred the matter until the regular Board meeting on Monday, March 5, 1984.
