The Zoning Officer was asked to send a card to Evelyn Poole -Kober in expression
of sympathy during the loss of her father.
The Planning Board members welcomed Rev. Chester Andrews as the Representative

Item 3- Rezoning request from Powers, Inc. - Harder Venture for 22.61 acres
located at the southwest quadrant of intersection of SR 1009 and I-85 (directly
behind McDonald's). Tax Map reference is 42, Block B, Lot 3. The request is
for rezoning the lot from R-10 to General C6mmercial.
The Zoning Officer presented a map showing the topography of the land, and the
location of Murdock Rd. (Lakeside Dr.) which intersects at SR 1009. The Zoning
Officer explained that Murdock Rd. may be used as access to this project and that
it possibly would be upgraded to state standards. The road design will be sent
to Dwight Kelly, engineer with DOT, for his comments.
The board members expressed their concerns as to whether or not the road will
be upgraded to state standards and who would have ownership of the road. The
Zoning Officer said that the road was to have been upgraded as part of the
conditional use permit that was issued for Coachwood and Gateway Village. She
said the issue of the upgrading of the road would be addressed at the January
28th public hearing.
The Zoning Officer said the two options which are being considered for access
to the area are (1) to use the existing road for access and bear off to the
south or (2) to use the corner next to the McDonald's property.
Roman Kolodij, architect, said that in order to meet all the concerns of DOT,
the Town, and the adjacent property owners regarding the flow of traffic in the
area, the entrance would have to be designated as a public road. He reported
that there has been some discussion to extend the road west to connect onto
Orange Grove Road. If the road is extended to Orange Grove Road, then DOT would
take up maintenance of the road. The general feeling by DOT is that Lakeside
Dr. is a desirable place for the entrance to the 22 acre site. Lakeside is
now a private road and has not been designated by DOT as a public road.

Zoning Officer said she is asking DOT for a reply by next week.
Brody made a motion not to consider the request until the maintenance and
ownership of the road is decided, Murphy seconded it. The motion was passed
unanimously.
The Zoning Officer informed the board members that the matter concerning the
road has been referred to the Town Attorney.
Item 4- Rezoning request from Lane Management and Development Co. for property
located west of and including Allison Rd (SR 1148), south of Dimmocks Mill
Rd (Tax Map reference 38, Block B, Lot 10B). The request is to rezone
approximately 78.3 acres from Agricultural -Residential to Office -Institutional.
The Zoning Officer presented a map showing the realignment of SR 1148. The
present zoning to the east and north is Industrial; to the southeast, west and
south the zoning is Agricultural -Residential. 28.8 acres will be donated to
the Town and possibly an additional 20 acres may be donated. The entire area
is to be zoned Office -Institutional except for the 28.8 acres.
The members were concerned about the route that would be used for trucks to
get to and from the area. They expressed concerns about the road being built
over the mountain, and did not feel there should be any more traffic through
Town. There was a suggestion that the road be built from the Efland exit.
Item 5- J. W. Taylor has requested that the Planning Board change the zoning
designation on the proposed zoning map for property located north of the inter-
section of Hwy. 57 and Hwy. 86. Referenced lot is identified as Lot 10. Block B
on Tax Map 5. The property is currently zoned R-10; applicant is requesting
that it be rezoned to Neighborhood -Business. The property has been used for
business for over 25 years (service station, store, game room, and now as a
beauty shop).
The Zoning Officer said the property is 1.8 acres and is now being use as a
beauty shop. Hill was informed by the former zoning officer that the business
was shut down for awhile. There is public water available to the site and a
private septic tank. The Water/ Sewer Superintendent indicated that there
are no plans to extend sewer to this site at this time. According to the new
zoning ordinance, Neighborhood -Business districts should be located at sub -
collector and local streets. This property is located at Hwy. 86 and Hwy. 57,
which are arterial streets.
Mr. Taylor said there has been a business operating in the area for over 28 years.
Taylor said the Town had rezoned it residential, but he did not understand why.
Goodwin said it was an oversight on the part of the map committee not to change
it on the proposed zoning map. Rose asked Taylor if he was going to add to the
building. Taylor said yes, but that he couldn't while it was zoned Residential.
The Zoning Officer said a major concern was if sewer would be extended to the
area. Taylor said he thought it would, but that he did not know when. Rose
,sked if it had to have water and _sewer to be rezoned. The. -Zoning -Officer
said it was not stated that way in the new ordinance. The application criteria
under the Neighborhood Business district section of the new zoning ordinance
Planning Board Meeting
January 2, 1986
Page 3
states that "the district (NB) will usually be applied where the following
conditions exist: Water and sewer does exist at the site or are to be
installed as part of the development process". The Zoning Officer mentioned
other issues that needed to be looked at: 1) If the property was to be
zoned to Neighborhood -Business would there be enough parking space, and 2)
Who will the business serve? Would it only serve the neighborhood area, or
would it also serve travelers along Hwy. 86 and Hwy. 57?
Taylor said he felt that General Commercial would be better than Neighborhood -
Business and would also help to get sewer service extended to the area.
Ashley made a motion that the property be rezoned to Neighborhood -Business,
Brody seconded it. Brody then withdrew her second and Page seconded it. The
motion was carried with 4 voting in favor of the rezoning to Neighborhood -Business
and 3 opposed.
Item 6- Overview of proposed zoning map changes in preparation for public
hearing to be held on January 28.
The Zoning Officer asked the board for confirmation for the proposed zoning
map changes listed below:
Harder property to remain as Multi -family.
Cemetery located on Margaret Lane which is now zoned Office -Institutional to be
rezoned R-20.
Property located next to R & J Speciality Co. is now zoned General Commercial
is proposed to be zoned R-20.
Odie Street proposed rezoning is R-20. The Zoning Officer reported that the
majority of the lots were to small for a R-20 zoning and would be non -conforming.
Ashley made a motion that Odie Street be rezoned to R-15, Page seconded it.
The motion was carried.
George Mayo property should be rezoned A -R.
Item 7- Report on Pantry Area Study, which includes the proposed Scotswood
Development
The Zoning Officer presented a map which illustrated the existing and proposed
property lines, the topography of the land at 10' intervals and the outlined
Scotswood area showing the drainage flow. A slope analysis will be completed
later.
A map was also presented which showed all soil types, septic tank suitability,
and soil stability, according to the Orange County Soil Survey.
The third map was an overlay of the current zoning districts with all major
roads outlines. The map also illustrated the current average daily traffic
count and the additional ADT count if Scotswood was approved. The existing
average daily count is now 2100; the Scotswood development would increase the
total count to 4860 (This includes the existing 2100). The average daily count
going out Hwy. 70 towards Town is now 7900. The Scotswood project would increase
this to 10,200. On St. Mary's Road the average daily count is now 3100. This
would increase to 6550. The Zoning Officer's data was from the traffic impact
analysis submitted with the Scotswood proposal.
Item 8- Develop a three month work schedule (priority list) for the planning
board and planning department.
The Zoning Officer asked the board for suggestions on drafting a work schedule
and priority list. The Zoning Officer said her list included: mapping existing

drafting forms which explained application procedures for different types of
zoning request (i.e. rezoning, variances, site plan approval, etc.) Also
included on her list was a computer which will be added to the Town Board's

Item 9- Schedule a joint planning session with th Orange County Planning Board.
