Commissioner Fortner mentioned variances. Allison said citizens could apply for variances, and the Board of Adjustment could hear applications for any requests above/beyond the current requirements. Commissioner Stewart said the Board and staff worked more with residential settings than they did with air parks. She said she didn't feel the necessity to change the verbiage in the entire ordinance just to accommodate air parks. Sammy Deal: Mentioned this particular ordinance section affected everyone in Iredell County. He said the current ordinance was alright for small housing developments, but it wasn't appropriate for the entire county. He mentioned the only exemption was farms. If a citizen had 1,000 acres and the property was designated for farm use, a 600 ft. requirement would have to be met. Requested that the ordinance be changed. Ernest Runge: Mentioned objections to the current zoning. He said that prior to the new zoning regulations there was no limit on the size of building he could place on his farm. Mr. Runge said he had 100 acres and was in a rural -agricultural district. He asked why he should be limited to the size and type of building on his farm. He said he didn't see the value of the 600 sq. feet in the present ordinance or the 1200 ft. in the proposed amendment. Stanley Sharpe: Mentioned he built garages and accessory buildings. He said a person with 1200 sq. ft. house and five acres could only build a 600 sq. ft. building. Someone with a one -acre lot and a 2500 sq. ft. house could build a 1250 sq. ft. building. He said the ordinance was not fair. Van Lawless: Stated he lived at the air park. Currently, he has an airport hangar building permit that is being held up until the ordinance can be resolved. Vice Chainnan Johnson adjourned the public hearing. Commissioner Boone asked Allison if the proposal could be reworded to delete "excluding privately owned airplane hangars" and then after any rear yard there was another sentence reading: "Privately owned airplane hangars are excluded from the provisions of this ordinance." Allison said this would be acceptable. Boone mentioned that the 1200 sq. ft. was somewhat restrictive in a RA or RU -R zone. He mentioned that the planning staff had shared a proposal to word Section (c) to read that 1200 ft. in the RA and RU -R Districts would be subject to the following restrictions: 1. No building shall exceed 2,000 sq. feet on a parcel less than two acres in size nor be located closer than fifty feet to any exterior property line. 2. On a parcel of two acres or more in size, no building shall exceed 3,500 sq. ft. nor be closer than 80 feet to any existing property line. MOTION by Boone to adopt the change in reference to airplane hangars (as amended) and refer the agricultural concerns back to the planting board. Commissioner Johnson said his concern was for the residents living in R-20 districts. Johnson said Boone's motion was to delete excluding privately owned airplane hangars and putting it after the 30%. Commissioner Stewart mentioned concerns about changing the ordinance without sending it back to the planning board first. Vice Chairman Johnson said his concern was not about sending it back to the planning board. He said he didn't know if he could agree to some aspects, because he felt it was still too restrictive.
