WX 14 1xs: 4»6 Planning Board recommended approval of the revised petition submitted by Hastel and Mary Ruth Baber to rezone 9.72 acres of land at 6930 Sheriff Watson Road from Residential Agricultural District to Residential Mixed Conditional Use District for the location of a four-lot manufactured home park. He stated that the Board of Commissioners requested the Planning Board to reconsider the request since Mr. Baber submitted his request to reduce the number of manufactured home lots after the Planning Board's original consideration of the petition. The dissenting Planning Board members cited their continued concerns about traffic congestion on Sheriff Watson Road, and their concerns that Mr. Baber had changed his request after the public hearing when his neighbors had a chance to voice their opinions. When recommending approval of the revised petition, the majority of the Planning Board cited the fact that Mr. Baber would be allowed to locate four manufactured homes on the property without seeking permission for a manufactured home park if he divided the parcel into two five acre lots and transferred one lot into someone else's name. The Board also cited Mr. Baber's willingness to submit a sketch of the manufactured home park to the Lee County Planning Department showing one lot per 2 1/2 acres of his land. Commissioner Matthews moved to adopt the Planning Board's recommendation. Commissioner Hall seconded the motion. Following a discussion, a vote was taken, and the results were as follows: Aye: Hall, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, Stafford, and Wicker Nay: Cox The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted by a majority vote.

Finance Director John Crumpton stated that $28,000 is higher than the original proposal in 1990 due to the addition of the solid waste management fund and turnover in two key management positions, which requires additional work on the internal control structure documentation. Chairman Stafford stated that even though the contract was approved for three years, the Local Government Commission requires that a contract is signed annually. Finance Committee Chairman Reives reported that the Finance Committee recommended approval of the contract. Commissioner Paschal moved to adopt the audit contract.
