PUBLIC HEARINGS
Chairman Haire declared the meeting to be in public hearing session.
• AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE XVII, SECTION 17.2 OF THE ZONING
ORDINANCE IN REFERENCE TO NON -OWNER REZONING PETITIONS: Theplanning
supervisor explained that on July 29, 1998, the Iredell County Planning Board recommended an
amendment to Article XVII, Section 17.2 of the zoning ordinance. The planning board and staff
suggest the addition of the following sentence.
Adjustments to the petition or any boundary lines occurring within seven ('7) days of either
the Planning Board or Board of Commissioner's meeting will not be considered in either Boards'
determination.
Ernest Runge (opponent to the amendment): Mr. Runge said the revision did not address the
main problem in zoning. He said problems occurred when people "get together" to rezone property
and the new rezoning prevents other people from using their property. Runge said that "many
people in the country were not up to speed" as far as what they were signing away when property
was changed from RA to R-20. He said the non -owner rezoning procedure should be changed and
it should require people to appear in person at the planning office when they wanted to sign a
petition.
