Randall said the people speaking in opposition did not reside in the area at the time. He said the
Stuns family had lived in the area during "bad times and they hoped to see it through the good
times." Randall said the lake area was the first section in the county to be zoned. He said the area
was initially Resort Residential but it didn't develop. Later, he said it became R-20. Mr. Randall
said marina services/boat landings were "sorely needed in the entire lake area."
Smith said there were three methods to expand the marina. He said they were: (1) expansion
of a nonconforming use through the planning board and board ofcommissioners (2) the attainment
of a conditional use rezoning and (3) the attainment of a straight RR district and then an appearance
before the board of adjustment.
Commissioner Ray asked ifanyone had inquired with Duke Power as to how many boat slips
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) would approve.
Duane Lewis said this would occur at a later date. He said there were about four different
proposals that were being reviewed. Lewis said the Stuns family was just asking for the RR zoning
so something could be done.
