72 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 162 One thing we do run into is if a realtor has a person who works for them and may not necessarily be a licensed <br /> 163 realtor and not be held to the same standard. Will they share the same information with you? May or may not. <br /> 164 <br /> 165 Craig Benedict: All counties in North Carolina don't have a land use plan or zoning. It is something new. <br /> 166 <br /> 167 Johnny Randall: This would be a great field trip site. <br /> 168 <br /> 169 Andrea Rohrbacher: I would be curious to know about signage if I had a home in the area and it was developed for <br /> 170 one of the permitted uses,will I have an ugly sign near my home. <br /> 171 <br /> 172 Craig Benedict: Any site plan that comes forward to develop in this area would have to adhere to our sign code. <br /> 173 <br /> 174 Maxecine Mitchell: I have driven US 10, could they reduce the speed? <br /> 175 <br /> 176 Craig Benedict: We do have a meeting with NCDOT we discuss the safety uses. <br /> 177 <br /> 178 Lisa Stuckey: When you go from Agricultural to EDE-1, are the property values affected? <br /> 179 <br /> 180 Craig Benedict: They stay the same until people start selling their land and someone thinks it is more valuable. <br /> 181 <br /> 182 Peter Hallenbeck: There is nothing more dangerous than buying a house. There are many issues. The letters we <br /> 183 have here are people currently living here and the task is to figure out a balance between future directions with the <br /> 184 people who are already there. There was a similar issue when I was on the Efland Small Area Plan where residents <br /> 185 were concerned about Economic Development. One thing that came out is that even though this area is planned for <br /> 186 this doesn't mean it will happen overnight. If you are in a house and something comes up next to you the buffer is <br /> 187 larger. We have the state and its rules and the county is not in a position to do anything about that. The people who <br /> 188 are on the fringes of these falls back to when does it happen, when do you get the development and what are the <br /> 189 buffers? I do like Old NC 10 being moved up to the railroad tracks and keeping that residential because I think that <br /> 190 addressed some of the concerns. In fire department districts, depending on which side of the road you live on <br /> 191 depends on which fire department you get. Having Old NC 10 as a boundary is odd because if you are on one side, <br /> 192 it is residential and the other is business. <br /> 193 <br /> 194 Craig Benedict: The procedure is during the public hearing process, individuals can contribute their thoughts about <br /> 195 the application and by the Planning Board meeting, and they submit material in writing. If you would like to speak to <br /> 196 a specific point you have submitted it in writing,you are allowed to speak. <br /> 197 <br /> 198 Larry Wright: I am confused with the Commercial Node to Economic Development and the use EDE1 and EDE2. <br /> 199 <br /> 200 Discussion about maps and colors. <br /> 201 <br /> 202 MOTION made by Alan Campbell to approve the resolution as proposed by the planning staff for the future land use <br /> 203 map changes. Seconded by Buddy Hartley. <br /> 204 VOTE: PASSED 10-1 (MARK MARCOPLOS OPPOSED) <br /> 205 <br /> 206 Mark Marcoplos: I am not comfortable with doing this so soon in the process. I think there is a lot more that needs to <br /> 207 be heard from the neighbors. There is too much energy in the community that doesn't understand or approve. <br /> 208 <br /> 209 Maxecine Mitchell: I need some clarification. I sort of agree with him but I was going to wait for the zoning part <br /> 210 because that is where the particulars come in. Land use is a broad use and you have the particulars the individual <br /> 211 has to meet when they come to the BOCC and the Planning Board. <br /> 212 <br /> 213 Craig Benedict: The zoning will say how high, how far from the property lines based on this ED1 category. <br /> 214 <br /> 4 <br />
