Z-8-86 ROBERT FAIRCLOTH AND R. B. BARLOW, JR. (CONTINUED FROM <br /> 8-25-86) <br /> The presentation was made by Collins. <br /> This agenda item is to receive public comment on a proposed <br /> rezoning request for the property of R.B. Barlow, Jr. and Robert <br /> Faircloth to correct an error in the Zoning Atlas. <br /> The Planning Department initiated the request following a complaint <br /> about the nature of the use (auto repair shop) on Lot 11 of Tax Map 30 <br /> in Cheeks Township. An adjoining lot, Lot 10, was incorrectly <br /> designated Existing Commercial (EC-5) at the time Cheeks Township was <br /> zoned (October 1, 1984) . <br /> Lot 10 is a vacant, wooded lot and is 0.98 acres (42,511 square <br /> feet) in size. Lot 11 is 0.72 acres (31, 188 square feet) in size and <br /> contains five (5) buildings - a 26 'x28 ' residence, store building, <br /> trailer, 9 'x13 ' shed and a 31'x35' garage. Both lots front on US <br /> Highway 70 and are situated between Frazier Road (SR 1310) and Redman <br /> Crossing (SR 1399) . At the time Cheeks Township was zoned, Lot 11 was <br /> occupied by Tyndall 's Gas and Grocery, and Lawn Mower Repair Shop. <br /> Both lots are designated Ten Year Transition and Water Supply <br /> Watershed in the Land Use Plan. The present zoning of Lot 10 is <br /> Existing Commercial (EC-5) , while the proposed zoning classification is <br /> R-1 Residential. The present zoning of Lot 11 is R-1 Residential, <br /> while the proposed zoning is Existing Commercial (EC-5) . <br /> Approval of the request would correct an error in the Zoning Atlas <br /> made at the time Cheeks Township was zoned. A complaint has been filed <br /> concerning the nature of the use on Lot 11 - an auto repair shop. The <br /> complaint has addressed concerns about the excessive noise both during <br /> and after normal working hours, the unsightly nature of the operation, <br /> and travel safety since cars are parked within the right of-way of <br /> Highway 70. The 1984 traffic count on US Highway 70 was 5,700 trips <br /> per day. <br />
