Other Motion: TOWN BOARD DECISION OF MAY 13, 1991 MINUTES PLANNING BOARD MAY 2? 1991 MEMBERS Sam Janes (chair), Wayne Tilley (vice -chair), Ken Chavious, PRESENT: Bill Crowther, Leif Deetjen, Margaret Moore, Richard Simpson, and Wendy Olson (alt. MEMBERS C:hesire Cole, Ida Louise Evans, Steve Jones, and Jim C:ulbreth ASSENT: (alt.) OTHERS Susan Suggs, Wesley Hyatt, J� �f f Coe, and Margaret Hauth PRESENT: Janes called the meeting to order at 040 p.m. ITEM #1: Coe asked if we could. add #9, a request for Board direction concerning staff notification of Board members of meeting time and the members agreed. Crowther asked if we could address #8a after #4 and the members agreed. ITEM #8: Corrections ins to the minutes of March 7, 1991 were: item #8, number 1, "bike land" to "bike lanes." No changes were made to April 4, 1991 minutes. MOTION: Crowther moved t� � approve the minutes. Simpson seconded. VO'T'E: Unanimous. ITEM #4: Review of final draft and recommendation to the Town Board for adoption of the Vision 2010 Comprehensive Flan. Susan Suggs, consultant from the Division of Community Assistance was present to i address Board questions. Olsen said that all of the Occoneer_hee Mountain critical area was not included in the green area on the map. She suggested referencing the Natural Area Study for a more accurate description. Suggs asked if this reference could be made on page 8 where the different areas are defined. Crowther asked if this area was within the Town's ETJ. Close consultation of the maps confirmed that it was within the boundary. Suggs suggested making the change, with the more clear reference to bath the map and text. page 2 Simpson questioned the attitude toward growth presented in the plan. He understood that there is currently a lack: of water, but he reminded the Board that plans were underway to address that shortage. He suggested a link between future growth and the availability of water. He was concerned that when you limit growth, it can lead to unemployment. He was concerned that this twenty year plan limits growth and in turn limits the opportunity for our educated young people to find high paying jabs within the area. He was also concerned about the casts to the citizens of becoming a bedroom community. Suggs said that this concern was addressed in Section B, which describes a moderate rate of growth which was supported by public comment and the committee members. The construction of the reservoir was given high priority to i insure a water supply adequate for growth. Olson noted the language "to allow and encourage diversity of industries with a range of employment opportunities and protect from economic slump." Discussion about diversity, industry size, and compatibility continued, with both the positive and negative impacts of large industrial employers being mentioned. Suggs mentioned that the committee wanted to stress their support for the continuation and accommodation cif neighborhood business in mixed use residential areas. MOTION: Crowther moved to recommend approval for the Vision 2010 Flan to the Town Beard with the amendments to the text and map concerning the UCCA �neechee critical area. Moore seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. Suggs was hopeful that the Town Beard would adapt the plan. She will be available to help with implementation. Crowther mentioned that the plan included the recommendation for the Planning Board Chair to comment on what parts of the plan had been implemented or achieved each year in the Chair's annual report. He added that the plan will become an important document to the Board's activity. ITEM #Sa: Text amendment to Section 3.4 (Permitted Use Table) of the Zoning Ordinance to allow retail sales and rental of goods manufactured and/car distributed on-site not to exceed 20 of gross floor area. Coe reported that the request came from Vietri, Inc. to use a portion of their building for retail sales. There was no public comment at the public hearing for this change. This MOTION: page amendment would allow limited retail sales in an industrial district. There was no staff recommendation. Crowther asked if this amendment could have happened without Hanning Board sponsorship. Coe responded that, for a fee, anyone can apply for a text amendment without Beard sponsorship. Crowther noted two contentions to this amendment. A number of similar cases have came before the Beard in the past and the decision had been to make a one time fine-tuning of the commercial zoning district to address this issue. This amendment represents a band-aid rather than a final determination. Secondly, this would allow the importation of goods to create a retail outlet within an industrial zone--nci on-site manufacturing was necessary. He noted he had no contention with the sale on goods manufactured cin -site. Discussion of concern over the imparting of seconds or ether goods for retailing in an industrial area ensued involving questions about the intent of the amendment, different interpretations of the term cin -site, concerns about traffic generated by mixing retail and industrial uses. Limits to on- site manufacture only, seconds only, and additional limit of 1000 squar a feet were discussed. Deetjen moved to not recommend the adaption of the amendment. Crowther seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. MOTION: Deetjen moved to re -word the amendment to read "to allow retail sale of goads manufactured on-site with total retail area not to exceed 1000 square feet. Crowther seconded. Simpson noted his support for some type of change, but said the 1000 square feet limit made no allowance for what was being manufactured. The 20 limit seemed fair, but the 1000 square feet was arbitrary and unfair. Crowther noted that the 1000 square feet limit does not treat all establishments fairly, mentioning that smaller industries could have more than 0 of floor area in retail. Further discussion about traffic and design control available to the beard ended with the withdraw of the second by Crowther with a suggestion to table this matter. Deetjen withdrew his motion. Olson requested some examples from ether ordinances and jurisdictions who have similar allowances. page 4 MOTION: Crowther moved to table this amendment until the next meeting. Deetjen seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #5: Review of public comment and recommendation to Town Board for adoption of standardization was presented by Coe. He noted that "Bellevue Ave." will have the additional "e" after the "l"; Forest St. will become "Stephen Forrest Ave.", as requested by the son of Stephen Forrest for whom the street was named; Hill Circle will be eliminated with the entire length being Hill St. ; and that there was unanimous support for all the changes by those present at the hearing. MOTION: Crowther moved to recommend for approval the standardization of street names to the Town Board. Simpson seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #6: Rezoning request of Alvis Long to rezone 33,750 square feet from R-10 (Residential) to NB (Neighborhood Business) on the south side of Rencher St. was pr6sented by Coe. The exact location of the lot was pointed out on the map, at the request of Deetjen. Coe presented his analysis of the application, stating that the issue before the Board was an interpretation of the term "usually" in the Zoning Ordinance. This lot does not meet the criteria listed for where the NB zoning will "usually" be applied. This lot is not at an intersection. This rezoning would be consistent with the Vision 2010 Plan. Olson requested clarification on the intent, especially related to the implied requirement that NB lots be at an intersection. Discussion around this issue continued. MOTION: Tilley moved to recommend to the Town Board that the property of Alvis Long (4.10.B.6) be rezoned from R-10 to NB. Simpson VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #7: Rezoning request of Clarence and Annie Ray to rezone 11,600 square feet of land on the east side of NC 86 from R-10 to NO was presented by Coe. He stated that the issue was the same as in the previous case' needing an interpretation of the word "usually" as this lot is also not at an intersection. The location of the lot was pointed out on the map, at Olson's request. page 5 Chavious asked what a safe distance was for a driveway from a major intersection (NC 86 and US 70). Olson stated that it depended on the proposed use. It was determined that this lot was a safe distance from the interchange. Simpson noted that if the Board chose to deny this request, he would recommend the purchase of the property by the Town as such a decision would eliminate the owner's ability to use his property. He also questioned why this lot was not zoned business or commercial when zoning was initiated, as the lot had been a commercial property for most of his life. Coe stated that zoning is usually based on current use and that the lot was probably not in use when zoning was instituted. Since the neighboring properties are residential, this lot was zoned in accordance with the neighborhood. Further concerns about safety and traffic volumes along NC 86 were discussed with the conclusion that since a site plan would be required for any new construction on the site, such concerns would be addressed at that time. MOTION: Tilley moved to recommend to the Town Board that the property of Clarence and Annie Ray be rezoned from R-10 to NB. Simpson seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #8b: Text amendment to expand the definition of "Lot, Non - Conforming" to address the division of lots for estate purposes was presented by Coe. He presented the expanded definition as written by the Town Attorney to address the limitation of North Carolina General Statute definition of subdivision as for sale and land development purposes only. Discussion about the exact meaning and implication of the new definition ensued until all Board members understood the amendment and its rationale. MOTION: Deetjen moved to recommend to the Town Board the amendment to expand the definition of a "Lot, Non -Conforming". Olson seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #8c: Text amendments to the Historic District section of the Zoning Ordinance as recommended by the State Preservation Office (Sect. 12'5.1, 12.5.2.a, 12.5.m, 12.6.3.t, 12.6.1, 12.6.4, 12.6.9, 12.6.11) were presented by Coe. He mentioned that these changes were suggested by the State Preservation Office after reviewing our ordinance. .. . page 6 Olson said these changes were essentially to bring our ordinance up to state standards. MOTION: Olson moved to recommend to the Town Board the text amendments� to Section 12 of the Zoning Ordinance. Simpson seconded. VOTE: Unanimous. ITEM #9: Coe requested direction from the Board concerning thse traditional practice to call and remind Board members o'F meetings on the day of the meeting. He also mentioned thee difficulty of reaching many Board members and the demand om staff time. Simpson mentioned that while he liked being called to bs-- reminded, he did not think it was necessary to continue thc� practice. Moore noted that the members should be responsible enough tic=" remember when meetings are. Tilley said that the receipt of the packet should serve as zx reminder of the meeting an to call the Department if ymk-t- cannot attend. Meeting adjourned at 8:07 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Margaret A. Hauth, Secretary
