In discussing the motion, Commissioner Ostwalt inquired if Commissioner Mills would amend his motion to designate November lst meeting as the date of action by the board, thereby speeding up the process. Commissioner Mills amended his motion to designate November 1st as the meeting date for action by the board, and the public hearing on the proposed amendments would be continued until that date. VOTING ON MOTION AND AMENDMENT: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. In discussing the re -opening of the public hearing for the purpose of hearing the Heronwood rezoning request, the Chairman, Joe H. Troutman, said he was not well acquainted with the new procedures for the public hearing and requested the county attorney, Robert N. Randall, conduct the meeting. After a discussion, it was the consensus of the board and David Parker, representing those opposed to the rezoning, that Mr. Randall should not conduct the meeting since he had been in- volved as legal counsel in a deed transfer for the Heronwood Developers. At the request of the Chairman, Commissioner Mills conducted the meeting. CHAIRMAN MILLS CLOSED THE REGULAR MEETING AND OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING. The attorneys, Robert N. Randall, representing Iredell County; Bert Walser, representing Heronwood Developers; and David Parker, representing the citizens opposed to the rezoning; concurred that a regular public hearing should be held first, according to the County board's regular procedures. Following this hearing, the Special Use Hearing would be held. Mr. Walser and Mr. Parker agreed that all evidence presented under the regular public hearing rules would be admissable under the Special Use Public Hearing procedure. Because of the new regulations involved in a Special Use Public Hearing, the parties involved requested a short recess to prepare for their presentations. COMMISSIONER MILLS RECESSED THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR TEN MINUTES. CHAIRMAN TROUTMAN ASSUMED THE CHAIR AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE BREAK. He said that the Heronwood Public Hearing would involve quite a bit of time, he would like to conclude some other business before entering the public hearing. CHAIRMAN TROUTMAN ADJOURNED THE PUBLIC HEARING TO THE REGULAR MEETING.
