MINUTES
October 2, 1986
Members present: Evelyn Poole—Kober, Chairman: Bob Rose, Barbara Page, Dr.
Robert Murphy, Hilda Brody, Tarleton Davis, Margaret Moore and Nancy Goodwin.
Others: Tyson Clayton, Ana and Ken- Washburn, Susan Frankenberg, Paul Williams,
and Roscoe Strickland.
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by the Chairman.
Item 1: Approval of the August 7, 1986 minutes. This item will be placed
on a later agenda.
Item 5: Preliminary site plan review submitted by Marion Clark for the
Golden Skillet building. Property is referenced as Tax Map 40, Block A, Lot 37.
Applicant is proposing to demolish the building and use.the property for other
purposes. Material will be provided at the meeting by the applicant. 68
parking spaces will be provided in the front with staff parking in the rear.
Brody asked if the existing run off problem had been checked by the Soil &
Erosion control officer saying that anything over an acre was required to
be checked. Poole—Kober suggested the planting of trees to break up the
pavement.The ingress and egress points are required to be shown on the
final plans. Page said that this review was scheduled on the Board of
Adjustment agenda and all issues would be addressed.
Item 7: Preliminary review of a bed and breakfast establishment for house
located at the corner of Queen and Churton St. Applicant would like to have
property rezoned to General Commercial to include a restaurant. Ann & Ken
Washburn were present and told the board that the residential property was
adjacent to property zoned Office Institutional on Queen St. They said that
even though the house was located in a residential zone they felt it was a
good location for this kind of business. The exterior of the house will not
change. There will be 2 front room upstairs and a commercial kitchen downstairs.
The parking lot will be screened and will extend either through to Churton or
Queen St. The applicants said they felt it would be an asset to the Town.
Goodwin said that the idea of a restaurant was good but that the location was
unquestionable saying that other uses could be allowed in a GC zone.
Brody said she felt it would be setting a precedent allowing commercial into
a residential area.. Poole—Kober stated that she could not support the rezoning
to General Commercial feeling that the area was inappropriate for commercial.
The applicant said he felt the location was in keeping with businesses on
Churton St since there were churches, filling stations and a funeral home
all on Churton St,
Rose said he felt it would be spot zoning since 3 sides are zoned residential.
He said even if the church was zoned Office Institutional he felt it was more
of a residential use. Goodwin said that the Office Institutional zoning for
the church was a buffer for residential and commercial zones. She said she felt
it would really be a hotel if there were both rooms and a restaurant. She said
that a bed and breakfast establishment does not serve meals.
Rose told the applicants that the idea of the business was not a problem
just the location.

' Goodwin stated to the applicants that they had a right to ask for the rezoning
that these were only their opinions.
Item 8: St. Matthew's Episcopal Church is proposing an addition to their
fellowship hall. They would like the Board to address the height requirement
and the parking situation.
Susan Frankenberg and Roscoe Strickland were present to represent the church
saying the addition was needed due to overcrowding. The existing building is
29'6" tall and is located in an Agricultural -Residential zone. The maximum
height allowed is 25'. The applicants said to make the addition look proper
in building structure it would need to be the same height as the existing.
Rose said he felt a variance request would be needed and noted that the addition
would not be enchroaching any further than the existing height. He felt it should be
placed on the Board of Adjustment agenda.
Concerning the parking situation Frankenberg said that the church building itself
would not be enlarged. Poole -Kober said she did not feel that the addition would
require as much parking as for the church. Frankenberg said they would also be
using the Board of Education's parking lot.
The Board felt that the parking situation was not a problem and that no additional
spaces would be required since a less number of people would be using the fellow-
ship hall than the church.
Item 9: Recommendation on proposed ordinance amendments that went to public
hearing on September 29.
Amendment concerning skirting for mobile homes. Rose made a motion that the
Planning Board recommend that the Town Board accept Alternative 1 for mobile
homes, and that in addition to masonry skirting that ABS plastic color skirting
with interlocking edges (keylocked) be allowed for skirting around modular
homes. The motion was seconded by Page and carried.
Amendment concerning setbacks. Goodwin made a motion that the Board recommend
to the Town Board that the section on setbacks be adopted as written. The
motion was seconded by Rose and carried.
Amendment concerning signs. Goodwin asked if all of Section 8 (signs) had been
adopted. The members remembered that certain sections had been adopted.
Culbreth made a motion that the Board recommend to the Town Board that the
section on signs be adopted as written. The motion was seconded by Rose
and carried with one member opposed.
Item 10: Parking situation for B & H Movie Rentals located at W. Margaret
Lane and Churton Street.
The Chairman said there is a problem with parking at this location, saying that
the customers are parking illegally, backing out into traffic, making U turns
1 and parking in the right-of-way causing motorists not to be able to see.

Rose made a motion that the planning board recommend to the Town Board (by
letter with a copy to be sent to the Police Chief) that a traffic hazard is
being created due to the establishment of B & H Movie Rental and their
customers. They ask that the Town Board please review this situation with
the Police Chief. The motion was seconded by Page and carried.
Item 12: Review of placement of dumpster at restuarant at 137 N. Churton St.
A complaint was received from an adjacent property owner who said that the
dumpster and fence were placed too close to her property line. After
reviewing original proposal submitted by applicant, the board agreed the
dumpster should be placed in the original location as determined by the
zoning officer. It was asked that the owner be notified of this.
Item 2: Review of a minor subdivision for property owned by Roland Scott.
Tax Map Reference 23.B.12.
Applicant is proposing to build a smaller home for himself and rent the
existing house. Comments made were: 1) the access road should be brought
up to standards. 2) a culvert should be installed to carry water run—off
from the existing pond. 3) the area is currently served by an 20" water
line. The State will only allow for 20 homes to be served by a line of this
size. The number of homes presently being served is not known at this time.
Item 3: Review of a minor subdivision for property owned by Arthur Plambeck.
Tax Map 20, Block A, Lot 10.
The board stated that the required square footage for a R-20 district would be
met as well as the required setbacks if the presented survey map is correct.
Access to the back lot will be required.
The main concern of the board was ownership of the property. Because of this
the board did not feel they could make a recommendation for either a 30' road or
a 50' road until this matter is cleared up. They did say that in the past a
50' wide road was correct as standard.
Item 4: Review of a minor subdivision proposed by Gerald McPherson. Tax Map
17, Lot 22.
The members were concerned that there may be a drainage problem in the area
and felt that the area may have already been filled'in. They also were not
sure what the applicant wasaskingfor. Rose made a motion to table this
item and asked that additional information concerning the intended use for
this subdivision be provided. The motion was seconded by Culbreth and
carried.
Item 11: Plans submitted by CCB to locate an automatic teller at Boone Square.
Paul Williams was present and said that the unit would be free standing and
would stand 1414" high and be 11'4" wide. Williams said that all signage
would be on the unit and none would be required away from it. The unit will
be placed in the area of Rigsbee Tire and Apple Tree and will occupy 2
parking spaces. Express 24 will be on top of unit and both sides and will
be lighted. Page asked if the same entrance and exit for Food Lion will be
used as access to the unit. Williams said they could or either the 1st
entrance to Boone Square as you are coming from town.

Culbreth said he felt the placement of the unit would relieve some of the
congestion downtown but asked if there was an increase in traffic would
it create more of a problem than what exists now. Williams said
he did not feel this would be a problem since only 1 customer could use
the machine at a time and only a few transactions could be performed by
the automatic teller. Page said this item would be included on the Board
of Adjustment agenda for October 22.
Item 6: Committee Reports: There were no reports at this time.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
