Commissioner Johnson asked to make a substitute motion.
Johnson said that he looked at the situation from the standpoint
that anytime you ask residents to go from RA to R-20 you're asking
them to surrender some elements of their personal property rights.
This is why percentages are closely reviewed.
Johnson said that he and the commissioners had talked
previously about an intermediate zoning between RA and R-20.
The substitute motion would be to table the rezoning and
instruct the planning board to come up with an intermediate type of
zoning between RA and R-20. (The petitioner in the Troutman Farm
Road case will then be asked to look at the new zoning type to see
if it is agreeable. If so, the petitioner would withdraw the
original request and resubmit.)
Commissioner Stewart said she had always been under the
assumption that the county staff comes up with the percentages to
make sure of the legalities involved. Stewart said she had the
impression that commissioners were questioning the staff. Also,
Stewart said it was easier to make decisions if one did not get too
closely involved in the matter. Mrs. Stewart said she felt it was
unfair to both sides to delay the matter. "We have an ordinance
that has worked for us in the past. We shouldn't be tampering with
it every other week."
Commissioner Boone said this was a difficult case and that he
understood the sentiments on both sides. Boone said he was evenly
divided on the matter; however, he had felt for sometime that a
type of zoning needed to be established between RA and R-20. A
zoning of this type might allow mobile homes; however, restrictions
would be implemented as to the distances required between them.
This would eliminate mobile home parks in this type of zoning.
Rural home occupations would be allowed.
Mr. Boone advised the audience that if the Board voted on a
motion to approve the rezoning, and the motion didn't receive a
unanimous vote, the matter could not be brought back up. for a
period of two years.
VOTING (SUBSTITUTE MOTION): Ayes - 3; Nays - 1 (Stewart)
(Commissioner Boone noted that the Planning Board was
instructed to take this matter up at its next meeting.)
After a five minute recess, Chairman Haire declared the
meeting to be in public hearing session.
