souK 13 FtrE 9i0 Petition by WAAG Corporation to rezone 141.62 acres of land located on the eastern side of Nicholson Road beginning at a point approximately 550 feet north of the intersection of Nicholson Road and Blacks Chapel Road from Residential Agricultural District to Residential Mixed District. Speaking in opposition to the request, Mr. William Sineath of Nicholson Road stated that there are too many manufactured homes in the area, some of which are vacant and/or are unsightly with debris. He stated that he objects to single-wide manufactured homes being installed on the property in question, which would result in the devaluation of his property. Mr. Gerald Womble, speaking on behalf of the WAAG Corporation, stated that the zoning request would conform to the general area. Seventeen lots would front on Nicholson Road with 1.27 acres to 4.0 acres of property per lot. Single-wide and double-wide manufactured homes would be installed on the property, but regulations would be imposed to assure that the sites were aesthetically desirable to the neighborhood. A minimum of 900 square feet would be required for homes located on the property, along with an age limit on the structure. The homes would be required to be underpinned. Each lot would be sold to the individual homeowners, rather than renting the property. When asked if he would consider restricting the installation of single-wide manufactured homes on the property, Mr. Womble stated that he would not. Mr. Womble stated that access to the back portion of this property is available for possible future development. After all persons had been given an opportunity to speak on this request, Ms. Powell presented drawings of the property and answered questions from the Boards for the following: Petition by Donald and Patricia Austin to rezone a total of 31.5 acres of land located at 2016 and 2024 Boone Trail Road (US 421 North) from Residential Restricted Ditrict to Light Industrial District. Ms. Patricia Austin stated that the property in question would be sold for industrial use if rezoned to Light Industrial District. Concerns were expressed by the Boards about the possible satellite annexation of this property by the City of Sanford. Ms. Powell stated that as long as the property is under the County's jurisdiction, it would comply with County zoning and building regulations. She stated that the County's approving this request would have no effect on the annexation process involving the property in question. After all persons had been given an opportunity to speak on this request, Ms. Powell presented drawings of the property and answered questions from the Boards for the following: Petition by Edward Thomas Hall to rezone a 1.622 acre portion of land located on the eastern side of Edwards Road beginning at a point 550 feet north of the intersection of Edwards Road and Blacks Chapel Road from Residential Mixed District to Highway Commercial Conditional Use District.
