PUBLIC HEARINGS Chairman Haire declared the meeting to be in public hearing session. REZONING REQUEST; WILLIAM G. SHELTON (ESTATE OF EDITH SHELTON), CASE NO. 9809-1: (Due to a conflict of interest, the Iredell County Planning Supervisor requested assistance from Mr. Bill Duston, a planner with the Centra/ina Council of Governments.) Duston said this request involved 16 acres of land located on Jennings Road, adjacent to I-77 and north of Ebenezer Road; more specifically identified as a portion of PIN #4747818929. The request is to rezone the property from Residential Agricultural to Highway Business. Across the street, and to the south, the land is zoned for highway business. A number of residences lie directly across Jennings Road, and there are two office buildings on the two lots immediately south of the site (same side of Jennings Road). The Iredell County Land Use plan calls for the property to be developed for commercial purposes. On September 2, 1998, the Planning Board recommended approval in a 9-1 vote. Commissioner Johnson said he understood that Mr. Shelton also owned the property immediately adjacent to the property that is zoned residential agricultural. Duston said this was correct - - the land to the immediate north (19 acres). Duston also said the land to the immediate east was zoned highway business. William G. Shelton, the applicant, said he owned the property to the north. Mc Shelton said he had been approached by an individual who would like to build a car wash next to the building on the bottom side of the property. Shelton further said he had discussed the proposed use with the neighbors and there were no objections. No one else spoke regarding this matter. Chairman Haire declared the meeting to be in regular session. MOTION by Commissioner Fortner to approve the rezoning request for Case No. 9809- 1/William G. Shelton (Residential Agricultural to Highway Business District). VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
