-F r.~ 452 0 SOOK 13 'r" Mr. Swindell stated that planning for thiproposal has been going on for quite a while. Mr. Keith's son is fully aware of the proposal, since he was approached about gaining access to the site via Mr. Keith's property. Mr. Shoffner, an adjoining property owner, has given the Wilkins Corporation a 40' additional easement along his property, which will provide a 100' buffer zone behind the residences. The area is ideally located north of the City near the airport and diagonally across from an industrial park. Water and sewer are available to the site in conjunction with the City's water main and sewer basin requirements for the industrial park located across the road from this site. After all persons wishing to speak on this matter had been heard by the Board, Chairman Wicker extended an invitation to those wishing to speak for or against the Thomas E. Barrett request. Mr. Dennis Wicker, representing Mr. Barrett, indicated that the first 300' of the property in question is in the City's jurisdiction. The property adjacent to this site is zoned Residential Agricultural District; however, property north and east of the site are zoned Heavy Industrial Districts. Mr. Wicker indicated that Mr. Barrett is willing to reduce the size of the 15.41 acre rezoning request, because of the residential property adjacent to the site and the flood plain area along the creek. Mr. Wicker showed the Board the area on the map to be considered for rezoning which would be the back half of the original request or 100' to 200' from the northeast corner of the residential tract. Mr. Wicker answered concerns of the Planning Board. He indicated that Mr. Barrett plans to build his residence with a commercial shop located behind it on this property. Access to the property is from Amos Bridges Road on which the property fronts, which is in the City's jurisdiction and is zoned Residential Agricultural District. No signage for the commercial business will front the road; therefore, that portion of the property will remain Residential Agricultural District. Speaking in opposition to the request, Mr. Jerry Pedley indicated that he is an adjoining property owner. A portion of Mr. Barrett's property which has been cleared is adjacent to his residence, and Mr. Pedley expressed his concern about a commercial shop being constructed in that area. If the back six acres are rezoned, he has no complaints. A buffer between the property in question and the adjoining residential property would make the request more desirable. Mr. Wicker indicated that reducing the request to the back six and a half acre tract so that the buffer could be provided would be acceptable to Mr. Barrett. Chairman Wicker next invited anyone wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the petition submitted by Womble and Womble Investments. Mr. Gerald Womble, representing Womble and Womble Investments, indicated that a client wishes to place a new single-wide 14' x 70' Class B mobile home on this property. Commissioner Stafford inquired about the distinction between Class A and Class B mobile homes. Mr. Barefoot stated that a Class 3
