APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD: Mr. Paul Douglas (Doug)
Thornburg, of 7811 Byrum Drive, Charlotte, N.C., expressed his
desire to place either a mobile home or camping trailer on some
property he owns adjacent to his father and mother's home.
Thornburg advised that both parents were in their SOS and that his
mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Thornburg described his
mother's condition to be in a crisis situation and that she needed
constant supervision and care. The property owned by the
Thornburgs is zoned R-20 which prohibits mobile homes, etc., even
under hardship (temporary) conditions. Mr. Thornburg said he had
been unsuccessful in finding a place near his parent's home that he
could rent.
Thornburg asked for an amendment to the zoning so he could
temporarily move near his family.
Commissioner Stewart asked if Mr. Thornburg couldn't reside
with his parents. Mr. Thornburg said their house was small and
that much was stored in it. It was too small to accommodate two
more people (Mr. Doug Thornburg and his wife).
