JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
October 24, 2000
PRESENT: Mayor Horace Johnson, Ken Chavious, Frances Dancy, Evelyn Lloyd, Brian Lowen, Mark
Sheridan, Ed Gill (PB Chair), Pam Blue -Thompson, Jim Boericke, Joel Brinkley, David Daniel,
Chris Quinn, Bryant Warren
PUBLIC: Bettye Marshall, Eric Peterson, and Margaret Hauth
ITEM #1: Hauth asked the members to recommend the appointment of Cannie Lloyd to serve as the liaison
member between the Planning Board and Board of Adjustment to the Orange County Board of
Commissioners.
MOTION: Commissioner Dancy made a motion to recommend Lloyd's appointment to fill the out of town
vacancy on the Planning Board with a term to expire in June 2002. Chavious seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #2: Mayor Johnson called the hearing to order at 7:03 PM and passed the gavel to Planning Board
Chair Gill.
ITEM #3: Hauth introduced the Marshall rezoning request. She explained that the request was to seek the
reduced lot width allowed in the R-10 district to allow a second lot to be created for Ms
Marshall's use. She noted that no other subdivision of the property would be allowed without full
board review as a road would be necessary. Hauth noted that she had heard from some neighbors.
She said she had a letter of opposition from the Wheeleys who live on West King Street.
Marshall addressed the members and indicated her need for more living space, which this lot and
house will provide. The members asked questions of clarity.
ITEM #4: Hauth introduced the text amendment to Section 5.2 to clarify that multiple buildings can be
allowed on non-residential sites. She noted that the current language was confusing to the Board
of adjustment, particularly in light of a number of examples of multiple buildings on a single site.
She said the proposed language would clarify that multiple buildings are permitted, so long as they
are shown and approved with the site plan. There was no public comment on this amendment.
ITEM #5: Hauth introduced the text amendment to the Subdivision Regulations to make the minor
subdivision process not available for non-residential lots. She noted that this was a
recommendation from the EDD workgroup to remove a short cut or backdoor for developments
to avoid master planning properties. She gave the example of a parcel that would have hundreds
of feet of road frontage. Lots could be divided off the front, leaving a difficult parcel to develop
behind and encouraging numerous driveway cuts on the road. As a staff -approval process, there
would not be a mechanism to prohibit the division and the opportunity for a master planned site
would be lost. There was no public comment on this amendment.
Gill returned the gavel to Mayor Johnson, who closed the public hearing. Hauth asked the
members whether they would be available for a special public hearing on November 28. A quorum
of both boards indicated their availability. Mayor Johnson adjourned the meeting at 7:20 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Margret A. Hauth, Secretary
