27 <br /> Approved 8.3.22 <br /> 110 <br /> 111 Statler Gilfillen: Is this consistent with pretty much everything else on the block? <br /> 112 <br /> 113 Adam Beeman: Yes. <br /> 114 <br /> 115 Lamar Proctor: So you own the parcel that is already zoning 1-2 and that's the hosiery mill which is vacant, not in use. <br /> 116 <br /> 117 Chad Huffine: That property was bought by Mr. Irwin and it is currently being used. It is being up fit for several uses that are <br /> 118 consistent with 1-2. Individual spaces within that building. <br /> 119 <br /> 120 Lamar Proctor: My question is, is 1-2 being utilized commercially, are there industrial occupants who are paying rent and <br /> 121 utilizing it for industrial purposes? <br /> 122 <br /> 123 Chad Huffine: Yes, I believe so and if they are not currently in the building,they are on the way. We are speaking about the <br /> 124 other property which is zoned residential. The property zoned 1-2 is actively being looked at for leases. <br /> 125 <br /> 126 Lamar Proctor: Right, but the neighboring I-2 doesn't seem to be attracting industrial uses. <br /> 127 <br /> 128 Chad Huffine: There is interest in this area and as we ride around, even the homes,there was a lady selling fruit. There is so <br /> 129 much activity in this block; it is a treasure. Mr. Irwin certainly understands that and respects it. <br /> 130 <br /> 131 Marilyn Liner: I was born in Efland and I remember a lot of stuff.The industrial buildings that are within that section were <br /> 132 placed there before zoning and there were 4 houses along that area and the property on the corner. There were houses on <br /> 133 the property that is being considered for rezoning. It was zoned residential because there were houses there. The traffic is <br /> 134 heavy there and it is difficult for me to get out of my driveway. <br /> 135 <br /> 136 Beth Bronson: This has public utilities, it has water and sewer, it serves the adjacent property also owned by the applicant <br /> 137 which zoned is 1-2 and these two parcels are adjacent to each other using the same road. <br /> 138 <br /> 139 Perdita Holtz: Depending on what they bring forward,they may be asked to combine the parcels. They have not shared <br /> 140 development plans with us. They are not required to. However, if you have two separate parcels there might be buffer <br /> 141 requirements between the two of them even if owned by the same person. <br /> 142 <br /> 143 Statler Gilfillen: To the lady who spoke, are you in favor or against it or just here to listen? <br /> 144 <br /> 145 Marilyn Liner: I am against it. <br /> 146 <br /> 147 Perdita Holtz continued the PowerPoint presentation <br /> 148 <br /> 149 Lamar Proctor: It's difficult not knowing what is going to go there and I know they are not required to tell us but anything under <br /> 150 the permissible uses is on the table. Sex oriented business, crematorium, whatever. <br /> 151 <br /> 152 Perdita Holtz: There are use specific standards for those types of uses but yes. <br /> 153 <br /> 154 Delores Bailey: Do you have any plans? <br /> 155 <br /> 156 Chad Huffine: We do not at this time. What I would tell you is there is an idea of work space for a plumber,we would call that <br /> 157 in our business, flexible space. Where you have a space that has room for an office and space for a warehouse,van or truck, <br /> 158 or where your equipment would be. We would call that flex space in a warehouse situation store have goods. A bulky item <br /> 159 storage that also fits within the 1-2 use. If you can envision a building that is separated into smaller segments they are similar <br /> 160 to the way the eastern half of the block behaves and you would have a mixture of uses that are all together. <br /> 161 <br /> 162 Britt Irwin: Warehouse, storage and office, it's highly in demand. <br /> 163 <br /> 164 Melissa Poole: They already own the land,there's not going to be a whole big building built on 2.2 acres. <br />
