GRIER REPRESENTATIVE: We found out the other night that the other people used to aim their speakers out across the lake r hen they were having their parties and things, and that music was carried quite a bit. We found that out (not clear) . . . . Our plan, as he stated, is a very small PA, little or no rock music . . . This is a family -type . . . (not clear) HEDRICK: Any other questions? BOYER: I would like to emphasize again the location. I think everyone seems to think that this a good location, but it may, and I'm no acoustical expert, but I have great sympathy for this noise because it doesn't appeal to me either. It was intended that the land mass would provide a shield for a great portion. While there may be some leakage around it, this was not a carnival, not intended to be a carnival and (not clear) to avoid being a carnival. I think Fred read our mechanical rides were, and I suppose that's the part of this ordinance that this tour boat falls under. I suppose a ferris wheel also is a mechanical ride. Anyway, the land mass there is an important characteristic of this site. The other point I would like to make is that my company has, I believe you asked, Mrs. Murdock, how we intended to deal with this land. We are building this for our account. We may build some motels on it ourselves. We are about to embark on another site (not clear) . . . We had a meeting this morning (not clear) . . But we're getting into -'-` that business. But our company owns a lot of land in this area. We own a good bit of this land right here, for example. We are not going anywhere. What ever happens, we are going to be here, and we will be responsible for it. JACK THARPE: I'm a resident of the property right across the lake. I would like to echo the expressions that have been made tonight by the Synco people and Mr. Thomas as far as the concern of that area being developed into a commerical piece of land. I guess I would say that I could live with the Robert E. Lee, but I'm not sure about the other 27 acres that could lead to more commercial property that would, I think, be somewhat offensive to the residents of our part over in the Lake Norman area. I would just appeal to you to think more about looking at it on the basis of the four acres and not the 31 acres. HEDRICK: Any other questions or comments by the members of the audience? HEDRICK: Mr. Boyer, ho,! receptive would you be at this time to consideration for rezoning request for the four acres you specifically have a plan for with the understanding at such ti,n2 you have a specific use for the remaining 27 acres to approach the board for that consideration? Would you be receptive to that line of thought at this time? BOYER: I'd like to consider that. I assume that you are saying that you are delaying rezoning for the other 27 acres. HEDRICK: That's what I'm getting around to. Having in time past an interest in some property that I wanted to get rezoned, I was asked what specific use do I have for it, and in the absence of having a specific use, I was denied a request, not by the board of commissioners. I think that line of reasoning bears our consideration in granting highway/busin-ss usa for any number of allowable things under the highway/business code. I think we are better off if we can address the four acres only at this time. w._.. BOYER: And take no action on the other 27? HEDRICK: And take action only on the specific use that you have here to request tonight, that is the Robert E. Lee. You know, we are playing with words, but my approach would be let's consider action on what you know you want to do rather than what you might do in a month. BOYER: I still don't understand. HEDRICK: Well, all right, I'll make it real plain then. If you had four acres or no acres, would you like to have four acres? BOYER: Zonas highway/business? HEDRICK: Yes, sir. For the use of the Robert E. Lee. Is that a conditional voting? MILLS: You're saying conditional truing, and I think it's (not clear) . . . . HEDRICK: Yes, conditional for the Robert E. Lee. BOYER: conditional highway zoning conditional for the Robert E. Lee and no action on the 27? HEDRICK: yes, sir. , BOYER: I'll tnk^ ::hat u,dcr c�rridcration.
