Board of Education Attorney Jimmy Love, Sr. appeared before the Board and informed them the City of Sanford and the Board of Education had approved an easement which would be used by the Board of Education for the laying, operating, and maintaining of a sanitary sewer line to the Deep River School site and for incidental purposes. After some discussion, Commissioner Paschal moved to approve the easement request as presented, a copy of which is attached to these minutes and by this reference made a part hereof. Commissioner Moretz seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Mansfield, Matthews, Moretz and Paschal Nay: Reives The Vice Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted by a five to one vote. Commissioner Reives voted "no" to the motion because his original question of whether the advice previously given by a city staff member, or City Council, had been approved because no answer was given to his question concerning a deal that would save the school approximately $30,000. The Board considered recommendations from the Planning Board. Assistant Planning Director Trevis Averett told the Board the Lee County Planning Board recommended approval of a petition by F. Hubert Garner to rezone from Residential Agricultural District to Highway Commercial District approximately .48 acres of land at 7300 Deep River Road. Commissioner Reives moved to approve the recommendation of the Planning Board. Commissioner Mansfield seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Mansfield, Matthews, Moretz, Paschal and Reives Nay: None 2
