BK:00028 PG -0241 felt this was the best zoning for the property. No one present spoke in opposition to the rezoning request. Chair Dalrymple closed the public hearing. The second public hearing with the Planning Board was to consider an application submitted by Copper Ridge Development LLC. Zoning Administrator Althea Thompson outlined the rezoning request. Commissioner Reives asked if anything was in place to address erosion control issues in rural areas when new construction begins. Ms. Thompson stated that issue was addressed by the State. Commissioner Reives moved for the Planning Department to provide erosion control information with future rezoning application information along with State contact information. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Frazier, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sloan, and Smith Nay: None The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. Chair Dalrymple opened the public hearing that had been advertised for this date and time. The following spoke in favor of the rezoning application: 1. Mr. Van Groce, PO Box 2825, Sanford, NC (owner of said property). Stated this was better utilization of the land. County Manager John Crumpton asked Mr. Groce if the location of the airport presented a problem with the proposed new development. Mr. Groce stated it did not since the development would not be in the flight path of the airport. The following spoke in opposition to the rezoning request: 1. Mr. Fred Sloan, 3429 Farrell Road — has lived in the area his entire life and it has always been a rural, quite area. He read a prepared statement addressing concerns for the area, which addressed flooding from heavy rains, safety where neighbors can walk and ride bicycles along the highway, and his house being in the flight path of the airport. Not trying to impede progress; only want to develop in a way consistent with what it is now for future family generations to enjoy as the community of which they are proud to be a part. 2. Mr. James Teal, 3687 Farrell Road, Sanford — not sure why the application is requesting an "RR" district; feels it is not needed. He assisted with developing the Deep River Long Range Plan and feels this rezoning request isn't a good fit for the area. Chair Dalrymple closed the public hearing. The third and final public hearing with the Planning Board was an application submitted by Mr. Charles Brown to rezone from Highway Commercial Conditional Use (HC -CU) district to Residential Agricultural (RA) district a 4.44 ± acre tract located at 304 Country Estates Drive.
