the requirements in the ordinance.
Commissioner Madison said he would like to call attention to
those in the audience to say there is a difference between a mobile
home park and a mobile home subdivision. There is no separation
requirement for mobile home subdivisions.
Someone inquired about putting structures underneath power
lines. Commissioner Madison said the property beneath power lines
belongs to the power companies, and could not be used for building.
Mr. Lundy said the County does not have any regulations
regarding putting structures under power lines. Persons are
governed by the right-of-way agreements with the utility companies.
Mr. Pope said there was a request for the county to adopt some
regulations to prohibit using property under utility lines.
After further discussion about the right-of-way agreements
under utility lines, Commissioner Madison asked the staff to take
the recommendations from this discussion back to the planning board
and ask for the planning board to do further study and make a
recommendation back to the county commissioners.
Ray Ellis spoke regarding the utility line rights-of-way. He
inquired if there is a federal law prohibiting the placement of
buildings under power lines. He said he worked for TVA for a long
period of time and they had rules prohibiting placement of
structures under power lines.
Commissioner Madison said he would like for the planning board
to study this issue. If it is covered by federal law, there
would not be any need to amend the county zoning ordinance to
govern this matter.
Mr. Ellis said there is not enough room between transmission
lines to put in mobile homes. He spoke of the magnetic forces that
is now believed to cause cancer. He thought it was an injustice to
allow people to use this property.
Chairman Haire asked Mr. Lundy to take this back to the
planning board as requested by Commissioner Madison.
