CALL TO ORDER by Chairman Tice.
DISCUSSION ON THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: (1) REZONING CASE #0002-02
(2) ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES ORDINANCES AND (3) APPEARANCE
STANDARDS FOR MOBILE HOMES: Planning Supervisor Allison said there was little
opposition to the rezoning request on the agenda. The request is for a tract of property to be rezoned
from Residential Agricultural to Highway Business. He said two individuals had inquired about
decreased tax value on rental property if the rezoning were approved. Allison told the individuals
he did not feel the rezoning would affect their properties.
Adequate Public Facilities (APF) Ordinance: Allison said the APF information was shared
with the planning board on March 1, 2000. He said the planning board members did not make
many comments.
Commissioner Bowles asked if package treatment plant permits were issued by the state.
Niblock said the regulatory authority was the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR). This agency issues the construction and discharge permits. Niblock said his
office would issue the zoning permit.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the state had to issue a permit before anything else.
Niblock said there would have to be authorization to construct from DENR.
Chairman Tice asked if the status on the new treatment plant (Hwy. 150) had changed.
Niblock said he didn't know of any changes. He said the builder was waiting on the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for an easement. (Currently, Duke Power has not secured
a permit from FERC.)
Mobile Home Appearance Standards: Niblock said he recently shared information with the
Foothills Manufactured Housing Association about proposed manufactured housing appearance
standards. He said the mobile home representatives only had problems with two items. One was
the 60 ft. minimum length standard. The other was the six-inch eave and raker requirement on
single -wide homes. Niblock said the shortest single -wide was 56 feet. He said the mobile home
dealers would be agreeable to a minimum length of 55 ft.
Commissioner Stewart asked how the staff came up with the proposed 60 ft.
