end of East Monbo Road adjacent to the Duke Power State Park. Ms. Hansen's property
lies across the cove from the Heronwood property. She submitted a non -owner petition
for rezoning to the planning board in December 1984. Ms. Beckham outlined
the procedures for non -owner petition. The petition is first submitted to the
planning board for consideration of its "appropriateness," she said. The planning
board voted 5-1 to deny the non -owner peition because of its inappropriateness. If
the county board decides the non -owner petition is appropriate, the matter will
proceed to public hearing.
The meeting tonight is not a public hearing and was not advertised. The purpose
is to consider the merit of. Ms. Hansen's request for rezoning the Heronwood property.
Mr. David Eisele, attorney for Ms. Hansen, spoke regarding the Heronwood project
and his client's objections. He said he believed the Heronwood developers had some
"vested rights" because of the large sum of money they had invested. He spoke
mainly regarding sewage disposal at the project.
Mr. Chandler Bryan, opponent to the Heronwood project, asked the board to con-
sider rezoning the project back to R-20, Single Family Dwellings, but that the
Heronwood developers be allowed to complete the ten units they presently have under
construction. He also asked the board of county commissioners to place a moratorium
on building at the lake and consider some method to prevent the dumping of effluents
into the lake. He also requested the board to limit sewage treatment at the lake to
nitrofication fields.
Mr. Bert Walser, attorney for Heronwood developers, spoke regarding his clients'
position, He said it was the State's responsibility to control the sewage treatment
facilities. He said some of the expenditures his clients have made have been for
the entire project and not just the ten units for which they presently have a building
permit and which are under construction. He said they planned to use ground absorp-
tion for the first ten units and are prepared to build the whole project with nitro-
. fication fields for sewage disposal.
