HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_1623entered from the frontage of Hwy 64. Allison said this was
correct. The property cannot be entered from West Lackey Road
either. The access would be to turn off West Lackey onto Greg Lane
and then immediately into the property.
Vonda Lackey (opposition to the rezoning): Advised she had
lived in the neighborhood for about nine years. Mrs. Lackey said
she felt if a convenience store was put on the location that beer
would be sold. She said this concerned her because of her three,
young children. In addition, she expressed concerns about a
potential traffic increase.
Herman Estes (owner of property): Stated he had nothing
definite in mind for the property. He mentioned several
prospective buyers, and the interest had ranged from an oil
company, a restaurant, and an auto parts/garage facility. Estes
acknowledged that he would want to get the best financial deal from
the property sale; however, he wouldn't want a "beer joint" there.
Greg Lackey (resident of Greg Lane): Explained that he was
opposed to the rezoning. His concerns were: 1) traffic 2) sale of
alcohol and 3) the vulnerability of the residents and their homes.
He asked, if the rezoning was approved, if a restriction of "No
Alcohol" could be placed on the property. Also, if limited access
to large trucks could be rendered.
Linda Horne (proponent): Mentioned that she lived in
Taylorsville, however, she was the daughter of Herman Estes.
Advised that she traveled everyday from her home to Statesville to
to reach her work place. Horne said there was nothing to aid
travelers, i.e., telephone, lighted areas, in case of car problems.
Ms. Horne said she felt that growth would eventually come to this
road, and it had already started on the Alexander County side.
