Commissioner Cox seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Garner, Mansfield, Matthews, Moretz, Paschal and Reives Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a matter pertaining to Class C manufactured homes in Lee County. Assistant Planning Director Trevis Averett told the Board that per a request by the Commissioners at their October 20, 1997 meeting, the Planning Board considered allowing Class C manufactured homes to locate in Lee County. Class C manufactured homes are homes built prior to July 1, 1976 but do not meet Federal HUD standards. Mr. Averett told the Board the Planning Board recommended that Class C manufactured homes not be allowed to locate in Lee County. The Planning Board felt by allowing them again in the County would be "taking a step backwards" after the tremendous amount of time spent last year in discussing this matter before the September, 1996, zoning amendments were approved. After much discussion, Commissioner Cox moved to approve the recommendation of the Planning Board to not allow Class C manufactured homes in Lee County. Commissioner Moretz seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Mansfield, Moretz and Paschal Nay: Garner, Matthews and Reives The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted by a four to three vote. Mr. Averett gave the Board a report and summary of House Bill 515 concerning the Zoning of Swine Operations. He told the Board a two year moratorium has been established on the construction or expansion of swine farms and on lagoons and animal waste management systems for swine farms, which will be in effect until March 1, 1999. He further stated the Planning Board decided not to take any action at this time but will study the issue again in six months. No action was taken on the matter. 4
