5 <br /> Emily Bane Villinova expressed the concern that placing more <br /> restrictions on mobile homes would affect their affordability. She <br /> encouraged the Board of Commissioners to listen to the comments from <br /> mobile home park owner/operators and act accordingly. <br /> Bart Walters stated that he has been a mobile home park dweller for <br /> over five years and was only moving now due to the fact that he had been <br /> able to save money to purchase property of his own. He indicated he <br /> felt the mobile home parks should be able to continue operation under <br /> the standards which were in effect at the time they were built. <br /> It was asked from the audience that the amendment be read in its <br /> entirety. Collins responded that there is not a text amendment per se <br /> in written form. If something is deleted from the text it is not <br /> written, it is simply taken out of the ordinance. He continued reading <br /> Article 6.21. 1 a 2) and noting that the phrase "that the space be <br /> improved in accordance with Subsection 7.20.4a) of this ordinance" is <br /> the phrase which requires existing mobile home parks to comply with the <br /> new standards. By deleting this phrase, a grandfather situation would <br /> be created. <br /> 1. ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENTS <br /> a. Z-7-86 Allen and Doris Turner (Continued from 8-25-86) <br /> The presentation was made by Marvin Collins. <br /> This agenda item is to receive public comment on a proposed <br /> rezoning request submitted by Allen and Doris Turner. <br /> Allen and Doris Turner are requesting rezoning of a 14.97 acre <br /> tract located on a gravel access road partially maintained by NCDOT. <br /> The access road connects to U.S. 70 at the southwest intersection <br /> corner of U.S. 70 and Interstate 85 in Eno Township. The property is <br /> known as Lot 77 and 77A of Tax Map 25. The property is located in an <br /> area designated Twenty Year Transition and Commercial- Industrial <br /> Transition Activity Node in the Orange County Land Use Plan. The <br /> present zoning classification of the property is Rural Residential (R- <br /> 1) . The applicant is requesting the lot be rezoned to General <br /> Commercial-4 (GC-4) . <br /> Approval of the request would allow development of the full range <br /> of commercial uses at this location. Properties to the east and west <br /> of the tract are zoned GC-4. Rezoning of the property would allow for <br /> the development of the site as a single commercial project or, <br /> alternatively, the subdivision of the property into individual lots for <br /> commercial development. <br /> Collins indicated information has been received that has to do with <br /> a letter submitted by the Division of Environmental Management <br /> concerning noncompliance with NC General Statutes regarding wash water <br /> and discharge of oil. Collins continued that Mr. Turner has come into <br /> compliance with DEM's notice of non- compliance. Due to the nature of <br /> this business and the closer review needed, Collins stated that <br /> Planning Staff is recommending denial of the request with resubmission <br /> as Planned Development. A Planned Development is a more suitable <br /> approach for rezoning of this property in that it would not only allow <br /> the Board of Commissioners and the Planning Board to consider the <br /> specific request again but it would also allow them to look at a <br /> specific site plan for the development of the project. At that time <br />
