Approval or Correction of Minutes-January 8, 2004
Jerry Zerbock questioned the January 8, 2004 minutes regarding the Flood Prevention Ordinance.
Chairman Tilley made the correction to the January 8, 2004 minutes stating that it is not HUD that does not allow park models to be set up permanently, it is the North Carolina Commission of Insurance that regulates the NC Building Code.
MR. PINTER MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES
OF JANUARY 8, 2004 AS CORRECTED.
MR. ZERBOCK SECONDED THE MOTION.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Request to be Rezoned-Bob Ledford-Landmark Builders, Inc.
Mr. Bob Ledford with Landmark Builders, Inc. came before the board requesting his
property be rezoned to R-3 in order to build two houses on the property. Property is
presently zoned R-2 located on Melody Lane backing Raven Ridge. Mr. Mehaffey informed Mr. Ledford that city sewer and water are accessible and that he did not see a problem with the rezoning. Mr. Henson agreed that if he met the setbacks that he did not see a problem with the rezoning. Surrounding property owners will need to be notified and it will be brought before the board for approval.
MS LYONS MADE A MOTION THAT LANDMARK BUILDERS, INC. BE REZONED TO R-3 PROVIDED SEWER AND WATER CAN BE ACCESSED AND ALL SETBACKS MET. MR. PINTER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Jim Blyth with Fisher Holdings, Inc. came before the board requesting a plat approval. The subdivision is in the newly annexed area and has not yet been zoned.
Suggestion was made to get it zoned before any decisions were made on this plat. Mr. Blyth ask that the Campbell Creek subdivision be done as a separate zoning.
The board made a decision to dismiss and go look at the property for Mr. Blyth.
The board dismissed at 4:40 p.m. and returned at 5:40 p.m. with a decision that more time is going to be needed before zoning the areas to bring before the board.
They determined that the Campbell Creek subdivision already meets the requirements for the R-1 zoning. Tim agreed to sign off on four R-1 lots that meet the zoning requirements and setbacks.
The board briefly discussed the need to change the part in the subdivision ordinance that states the number of lots that can be signed off on at one time. This topic will need to be put on the agenda and brought before the board of aldermen.
Chairman Tilley suggests that all agenda requests that are turned into Town Hall be date stamped when turned in to the Clerk. This procedure will deter individuals from showing up the day of the meeting unexpected and wanting their request heard that day. If the agenda request has not been turned in by the requested time they will be put on the agenda for the next scheduled meeting.
The board would also like the agenda request to be more informative in the line of Summary of Information. This gives the board time to prepare information if necessary before the scheduled meeting.
The board made a request to receive their agenda packets on Thursday before the meeting on Monday.
MS. LYONS MADE A MOTION TO REQUEST THE ABOVE CHANGES. MR .DEMEOLA SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
There being no further business to discuss the meeting adjourned at 7:06 p. m. on motion by Mr. Pinter, seconded by Ms. Lyons.
