PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 308.2 AND 311 OF THE IREDELL COUNTY SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE,
SUBMITTED BY B. K. BARRINGER, JR.: Mr. Lundy explained this request and advised that on July 10,
1991 the Planning Board unanimously recommended denial of the request.
Mr. B. K. Barringer would like to revise Subdivision Ordinance 308.2: (Review by Health
Department and Other Aoencies) by deleting the last sentence, i.e., "If lots are proposed to be
receiving septic tanks as the means of solid waste disposal, a report from the Iredell County Health
Department stating the general suitability of soils in the area must be received by the Subdivision
Administrator prior to the preliminary plat approval." A sentence with a disclaimer would be inser-
ted at this point. Mr. Barringer states this is allowed by the North Carolina Regulations.
Accompanying Mr. Barringer was Mr. Tony Jacobs, a soil scientist.
No one else spoke for or against the request for the amendment.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 67.45 (i) (2) OF THE IREDELL COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE: Submitted
by Dennis C. Sutton. This proposed amendment which currently reads: Any mobile home park created
after June 19, 1990 shall be located no closer than one-half (1/2) mile (as measured by the shortest
straight line connecting the closest portions of the lots containing the two (2) mobile home parks)
to each other; to read:
Any mobile home park created after June 19, 1990 shall be located no closer than three/fourths
(3/4)mile (as measured by public road connecting the closest portions of the lots containing the two
(2) mobile home parks) to each other.
Mr. Bedford Cannon, Attorney for Mr. Sutton, advised that his client has purchased a forty (40)
acre tract which he plans to live on as well as have a mobile home park. Cannon added that if the
3/4 of a mile is passed it will be the strictest standard on record.
were: Around 50 people were in the audience in reference to this proposed amendment. Those speaking
Fred Sutton: (Opponent) Against trailer parks. Felt the people in the area needed to get
together and decide what they want in the area.
(Mr. Sutton spoke two other times during the evening.)
Guy Hartsell: (Opponent) Speaking on behalf of his mother, who lives in the area. Against
this amendment because property values might be lowered. Also, his mother expresses fears about
safety, should a mobile home park be placed in the area.
Kenneth Harpe: (Opponent) Property values might decrease.
Lee Ellis: (Opponent) Mentioned he had previously sent a letter expressing his opposition.
Frank Woods: (Opponent) Felt the zoning that they have now is not perfect and stated the
sheriff's department is already out there all the time. "The county should not make a mistake in
trying to rectify Mr. Sutton's mistake."
Wayne Waugh: (Opponent) His farm has been in the family over 100 years. He is satisfied with
the regulations as they already are.
Jerry Campbell: (Opponent) "This will definitely kill my whole place. I don't see why anyone
would want to live right under a major power line."
James Pestlin: (Opponent) Stated there was lots of property damage around rental property.
Kathy Bowman: (Opponent) Has lived across the road from the property for 15 years.
Patty Mattiani: (Opponent) Lived in the area for nine years.
Bill Stamey: (Opponent) Stated that, "as the crow flies we have three of the worst trailer
parks in the county." Doesn't want anymore.
Bedford Cannon: Attorney for Mr. Sutton stated this was not a forum to express the merits or
demerits of a mobile home park. The issue is whether Mr. Sutton is going to have a chance to have a
park. Mr. Sutton is going to live on adjacent property to the proposed park. The key to any mobile
home park is good management.
Frank Woods: (Opponent) Too close to his home.
Guy Hartsell: (Opponent) Expressed concern over management if Mr. Sutton decided to sell or
move on somewhere else.
Jamie Stimson: (Opponent) There should be some type of provision against building under a
high voltage power line.
Joyce Pestlin: (Opponent) Asked commissioners if they would like to live near a trailer park.
Stated in 1989 she had to buy a piece of land adjacent to her to prevent a trailer park from being
