PUBLIC HEARING: Jeff Coutu, Planning Director, was present to discuss the
proposed rezoning of nroperty on State Road 1236, Stonemarker Drive, from R-20 to
R-20, Conditional Use. Mr. Coutu said the planning board had approved a 3 -year
conditional use of this property and recommended this change to the board of
commissioners.

Mr. Dulin requested that the board deny the conditional use zoning change. He felt
that a trailer on the lot would lower the value of his property and that of his
mother-in-law. He said he was not sure that the Carvers (property owners requesting
conditional use rezoning) could afford to build a house in three years. He urged
the commissioners to deny this re -zoning. He also asked that the fact that the
trailer is in place not be allowed to interfere with the board's decision.

Mr. Rancels spoke asking the county commissioners to deny the conditional use re-
zoning. He mentioned the Bartletts who had attempted to move a mobile home out and
put in a new one and his request was denied. He said there were at least six homes
in the $100,000+ range, and asked that the board deny the rezoning request.

Mr. Garver said he was issued a septic tank permit and when he came in to get a
building permit, he was told he could not get one under the present zoning. He
was told that he could apply for a zoning change to R-20 conditional use so that he
could be issued a permit.
Lucy Plummer
Lincoln County
Realtor
Ms. Plummer said that Duke Power Company told her the area was unrestricted when she
sold the lot to the Carvers. She said there was 1� to 2 acres on either side of
the Carvers. Prior to the Carvers owning the property, it was used by the Girl
Scouts on a recreational lease. She did not check the zoning with the Iredell
County Planning Department, she said.
Questions were raised by the county commissioners regarding the procedures for ac- i
quiring zoning restrictions, septic tank permits, etc., in a construction process.
Mr. Troutman stated his personal views in that (1) the realtor showed the lot without
being fully informed of the zoning restrictions, and (2) the county has a problem in
that they issued a permit for a septic tank in an uncertain situation.
Robert N. Randall
County Attorney
Mr. Randall said it is the property owner's obligation to determine how the property
is zoned. The county legally does not have an obligation in this matter. He said he
believed Mr. Troutman was referring to a matter in the interest of convenience to
people and Mr. Troutman would like to have this problem corrected. Mr. Randall
recommended if the board granted conditional use that they should set a time limit
on the conditions.
