Jimmy McKnight, Realco of the Carolinas/ Commercial Real Estate
firm, said the property to the west of the site was zoned business.
Officials at Berea Baptist Church have been approached, and they
are in favor of the rezoning. Shepherd's VFD has a satellite
office in the area.
rnld Childers (Ooposition)• Indicated he owned adjoining
property. Advised that the traffic on Highway 150 was difficult
enough without this rezoning.
�Qdie Stubbens (Oonosition) Advised he was a property owner
on Doolie Road and was also concerned about traffic congestion and
a lack of planning in the southern end of the County. He asked
why commercial development was being proposed at this area.
.rimmv McKnight: Mentioned that a major consideration in the
choice of this site was that Perth Church Road and Highway 150
intersect at this location. The property has frontage on Doolie
Road and an easement out to Highway 150.
mwrry LotoL+rnesu: Asked what type of use was planned for the
site. Also asked what guarantees the neighbors had that something
other than the proposed use would be done with the property.
William Allison said the conditions would stay with the
property no matter who owned it. The zoning procedure does not
call for a specific site plan, even if it did, the commissioners
could not hold the applicant to it. It is the planning board's
responsibility to look at the project as far as land use and all
the permitted uses in the GB district that are allowed.
$Qn Li��v (O000sition): Advised he lived on Doolie Road.
Requested that the commissioners consider the situation that
existed on Exit 28. He said this was an example of growth with no
planning or control. Asked if the initial request was for a strip
shopping center.
Allison: Mentioned he looked at the permitted uses for the
district. He said he didn't recall any comments in reference to a
strip center. There is not a specific site plan that is required
