0 bm 14 frt,: 674 7 3. Rezoning Request - A&W Investment Group, Inc. The Planning Board unanimously recommends approval of A&W Investment Group's petition to rezone 81.47 acres of land located on the northern side of Peach Orchard Road beginning at a point approximately 2800 feet east of the intersection of Rocky Fork Chruch Road and Peach Orchard Road from Residential Agricultural District to Residential Mixed Conditional Use District for the location of a major subdivision with approximately 17 lots on the property, restricting the types of manufactured homes permitted on the property to Class A and Class B manufactured homes. The board recommends that the approval be conditional upon an easement being provided by A&W Investment Group to the adjoining Tysinger property crossing lot 8 as sketched on the map proposed during the public hearing. The Planning Board in its deliberation cited the current use of the neighboring properties for manufactured homes, the restrictions placed on the property by the developer, and the large lot sizes being proposed. 4. Final Subdivision Plat - Winding Creek Farm Subdivision, Section 5 The Planning Board unanimously approved the final plat of Winding Creek Farm Subdivision, Section 5, which is being developed by Van Harris. The eight subdivision lots, which are approximately one acre in size, will be served by individual septic tanks and a private water system which has been approved by the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources. The subdivision road will be paved and built to DOT standards. The Planning Board recommends BOC approval of the subdivision subject to the developer providing a bond or letter of credit in the amount of $31,350 to guarantee completion of the street and water line improvements. 5. Tabled Rezoning Request - Karl Lewis upon considering whether additional information was necessary to make a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners concerning Karl Lewis's tabled petition to rezone approximately 387 acres of land located at the intersection of Colon Road and U.S. Highway 1 from Residential Agricultural District to Light Industrial Conditional Use District for the location of a planned business development with industrial, child care, and recreational facilities, as well as billboard advertisement on the property, a majority of the Planning Board stated that they did not feel that an additional public hearing is warranted. The Planning Board also maintained their initial recommendation to deny the petition which they felt was based on sound planning principles. The Planning Board felt that an industrial development the magnitude of Mr. Lewis' proposal is clearly not in keeping with the residential and agricultural integrity of the area, and is obviously not in compliance with the Lee County Land Development Plan which designates the area "Low Density Residential and Agricultural." The board felt that the development would be more appropriately located in an industrial park or on other vacant land which currently zoned Light or Heavy Industrial. The negative impact of customer and/or employee traffic along Colon
