CHAIRMAN TROUTMAN ADJOURNED THE MEETING TO A PUBLIC HEARING.
ROBFRT 0. EBERT PROPERTY: Lisa Beckham, planner, presented the board with the
recommendation from the Iredell County Planning Board and showed the layout of the
property requested for rezoning.
Walter Jones, attorney representing Mr. Ebert, said the approximate 147 acres,
located in southwest corner of I-77 and NC 150 (Iredell County Tax Map 2J, Block A,
Lot 1), was requested for rezoning to M-2 Heavy Manufacturing. At the present
time the developer is planning to locate a plastic bottle and container manufacturing
company on this property, but theproperty will most probably be used for offices
and small businesses in the future. Because of the topography of the property,
Mr. Jones said, the development would be limited to Light Manufacturing, and also
because of the lack of rail and gas, water and sewer lines.
Ron Hollifield said he was not totally in opposition to the rezoning request,
but questioned why he needed the total 147 acres zoned M-2 to build a plastic
manufacturing plant. He thought Mr. Ebert needed a comprehensive site plan to
comply with the ordinance.
Miss Beckham said under the county's zoning ordinance a comprehensive site
plan was not required.
Chandler Bryan spoke in behalf of the proposed development, saying a site
such as this would give diversity in manufacturing and business because it is not
suitable for large industry.

State Park, was requesting rezoning from R-20 Single Family Residential to R -8A

property owners and presented conies to the board. Fie said the density would not

Bill Holland, developer of Heronwood, spoke briefly about the project.

deep enough in this part of the lake and because he thought they would require ,
600 to 800 boat slips, which he did not feel the area could accommodate.
