VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0 i �_MR�7fR�a._DBCIARRR By C—HAI W HAIRED AT 7;09 P,14,; 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.
