surrounding use is commercial and institutional. Allison said the planning staff recommended
approval of the request since the auto auction owned property on three sides of the tract, and the NC
Department of Corrections owned the remaining site. He continued by saying the auto auction had
the property rezoned ten months ago for auto storage, but now needed to utilize the area for a
reconditioning facility. The proposed building would be more than 1500' from any houses
(excluding the Galliher property) and wil be limited to access off of Auction Lane. The initial
conditions associated with last year's request will still apply to the outer perimeter of the
auto auction's property.
On May 5, 1999, the planning board unanimously recommended approval in a 10-0 vote.
Eddie Gaines, the attorney representing the auto auction, offered to answer any questions.

REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE IREDELL COUNTY LAND
DEVELOPMENT PLAN & REZONING REQUEST: RONALD L. CHRISTIE & DORIS C.
MYERS PROPERTIES (CONCRETE SUPPLY COMPANY, AGENT), CASE NO. 99054
(RA, RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO M-2 (CUD) & GB, HEAVY
MANUFACTURING CONDITIONAL USE DISTRICT & GENERAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT: Planning Supervisor Allison said this request pertained to property (13 acres) located
on Houston Road near I-77; more specifically identified as PIN#4740-98-5449 & 4740-98-2495.
The applicants would like to have the property rezoned from RA, Residential Agricultural to M-2
(CUD) & GB, Heavy Manufacturing Conditional Use District and General Business District along
with an amendment to the land development plan for the construction/operation of a concrete plant
and any other uses in the General Business District. The existing land use is residential and
surrounding use is residential and commercial. Allison said the staff had no objections to amending
the plan to include the property as commercial; however, the recommendation of a manufacturing
use (concrete plant) would be inconsistent. Therefore, the staff has recommended denial. On May
5, 1999, the planning board recommended an amendment to the land development plan by a 6-4
vote. Also in a 6-4 vote, the board approved the rezoning request.
John Greene, the attorney for the petitioners, said he realized a church was nearby and the
proposed concrete plant would not operate on Sundays.
Ray Ledford, President of Concrete Supply Company, shared information about his
company's operations. The sole product is ready -mix concrete. The company has three plants in
Charlotte.
Henry Batten, Vice President of Finance for the company, said the plant layout was designed
to reduce dust. Also, a vacuum system was used for dust removal.
Doris Myers, one of the owners of the property, said she and her brother desired to sell the
property. She mentioned the land had been inherited and had been split off from other property in
the 1950s and 60s for I-77. In time, neighbors started selling adjacent properties and rezonings
started to occur.
