Rezoning Request of Wayne C. Jenkins Property, Case No. 9309-1
Mr. Lundy advised that this request from Mr. Jenkins was to rezone
his property from RA, Residential Agricultural h NB, Neighborhood
Business to HB, Highway Business District for a mobile home display
lot. The property is located on SR 1005, Old Mountain Road near
Bradford Crossroads; more specifially identified as Lot 47, Block
A, of the Iredell County Tax Map 8M. The parcels consist of 2.75
acres and presently has a residential home, which if the request is
granted, will be turned into an office. Surrounding land is both
residential and commercial. On September 1, 1993, the Planning
Board recommended by a vote of 8 - 2 that the property be rezoned
to HB with no restrictions.
Chelsea Kern: Owns lot immediately behind the lots in
question and stated that this property has frontage on both Old Mt.
Rd. and Island Ford Rd. He said the reason he purchased his lot
was so that mobile homes did not get into the area, but he further
stated he had no objection as long as the mobile homes were
"screened."
Commissioner Stewart asked Mr. Kern what he meant by
"screened." She asked if he wanted a buffer put up so the double
wides would not be visible.
Mr. Kern stated he presumed they would plant some
trees/shrubs. He said he understood it would take some time. At
the Planning Board meeting, he understood that this was a
requirement.
Fred Chamblee, Attorney for Mr. Wayne Jenkins, stated that he
wanted to clarify from the beginning that these homes would be
modular or double-wides. Mr. Jenkins does not deal in single-
wides. He (Jenkins) intends to display the homes and usually no
more than two at one time, and that he (Jenkins) has absolutely no
thoughts of putting a mobile home park or single mobile home
dealership on the property. Again, Mr. Chamblee stated his client
would display probably no more than two (double wides) at a time.
He stated his client would use the property to display, and the
homes would be assembled and "spruced up" to look good. Chamblee
advised, "Mr. Jenkins desires to have an attractive lot in order to
entice the buying public. Mr. Jenkins would use the building
already on the lot for office space. In the upstairs portion, it
might be used as an apartment. There is a transmission shop across
the street, the fire department is close by, and there is a horse
barn off the road. on the adjacent property there is a combination
grocery/service station."
Commissioner Boone asked Mr. Chamblee the maximum number of
modular units that Mr Jenkins envisions to have on the site at any
given time.
Attorney Chamblee advised that this will be only for a
display and because of the cost that Jenkins doesn't envision
having more than two displayed at a time.
Commissioner Boone asked if Mr. Jenkins would have any
objections if approval of the request had a conditional use saying
that all homes on the lot be modular and that no more than three or
four be on the lot at any given time.
Mr. Chamblee conferred with his client and stated that his
client, under no circumstances, could envision having more than
four because of prohibitive costs. The only other aspect would be
that they might have to move one out and move one in and stop on
the way to a construction site. Mr. Chamblee said "at the very
most four" would be all they could have.
