The property <br /> is located at the northeastern corner of the intersection of NC 54 and Mebane <br /> Oaks Road (SR 1007) in Bingham Township. The property contains 9.98 acres or <br /> 4341,728.9 square feet. The purpose of the request is to allow for the <br /> development of a bed and breakfast country inn. <br /> . The property is known as Tax Map 17, Lot 19 in Bingham Township. The - . <br /> property is located within an area designated Agricultural-Residential. That <br /> designation allows the consideration of development application for uses <br /> permitted in the Agricultural Residential and Agricultural Services zoning <br /> districts. The present zoning classification of the property is Agricultural <br /> Residential (A-R). The use of the property, as proposed,- requires the issuance <br /> of a Class A Special Use Permit. Certain development standards must be met and <br /> a Special Use Permit must be obtained for the development to proceed. <br /> Approval of the request would allow for the use of Bingham School for <br /> commercial purposes as a bed and breakfast facility for a maximum of twelve <br /> occupants. <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of the request with conditions- <br /> (Attachement on pages of these minutes). <br /> Commissioner Marshall expressed a concern that there was no Mural- . <br /> nation planned for a sign that would not be easily seen by night travelers. <br /> She noted this was a safety concern for the Planning Board to address. <br /> Mr. Kelly spoke noting that his primary interest is renovation and <br /> preservation of the historic value of the Bingham School for the general <br /> public. <br /> Pilkey inquired about fire precautions. Smith responded that Mr. Kelly • <br /> had been working with the Inspections Division over the past year as to the <br /> requirements for residential/commercial use in all applicable building code <br /> areas. <br /> . i ,,, <br />
