Desires that a fence be installed to protect children in area.
Concerned about a deep hole that is filled with logs on the site.
In addition, Huffman mentioned that property in the area had
recently been surveyed and it was determined that Mr. Hunt was
using about 20-25' of her property for log storage; including a
substantial area that has been dug out. Also, a buffer planted by
Mr. Hunt is on Huffman property.
Coote Deal (Opposition): An adjacent property owner.
Complained that his property was being washed away by the business
and there were metal materials on his property.
Dan Lowrance (Opposition): Stated he had lived in the area
for 22 years and owned a house valued around $150,000.
Jeff Tucker: Mentioned this was a neighborhood of families.
He said he had requested a rezoning a few years ago and it was
approved; however, he tried to be a good corporate citizen and
wants the Hunt business to do the same.
Ray Hunt (Proponent): Advised that a fence would be installed
and that the sawmill business would be a good neighbor.
Paula Leonard Huffman (Opponent): Requested that whatever
ruling occurred that specifics be placed on the type of barrier to
be constructed. This would keep the business inside its own
boundaries.
Dallas Nines (Opponent): Again mentioned that the business
sometimes operated late at night. Wanted a stipulation that the
business would cut off at a decent time (6:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.)
Said he had heard the mill running at 9:30 and 10:00 p.m. in the
past.
Ray Hunt (Proponent): Stated the business normally shuts down
at 4:30 p.m.
Chairman Haire adjourned the public hearing.
MOTION by Commissioner Madison to approve the rezoning request
Of Austin Hunt from R20 to General Business.
MOTION by Commissioner Boone to amend Commissioner Madison's
motion to make the request a conditional use rezoning. The
conditions being:
1) Mr. Hunt will be required to erect an opaque, solid wooden
fence, as in height, along the lines of the Morrison heirs'
property and the Lonnie Wooten property. On the northern boundary
line, a fence that meets the requirements of the Iredeli County
Zoning Ordinance will be erected. (This fence, obviously, should
be located on the confines of the Hunt property - Lot /6.)
2) A vegetative buffer be placed on the property facing etanoy
Pars Road and on the northern portion of the property that has been
requested to be rescued -- this would abut the Hunt property that
is rezoned H2O.
3) A tine period of 120 days shall be given to meet this
criteria.
Commissioner Boone mentioned that with these conditions the
people in opposition would have more protection then what they
currently have in place.
