65 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 301 Charity Kirk: I wasn't sure where. I knew there was talk of water and sewer at some point. <br /> 302 <br /> 303 Cy Stober: It's serviced with utilities. One's a non-profit and one's public. <br /> 304 <br /> 305 Charity Kirk: Okay, thank you. <br /> 306 <br /> 307 Lamar Proctor: This is kind of maybe a joint question for staff as well as the applicant. If it's rezoned then <br /> 308 that zoning runs with the property to whoever buys it, right? So, our question is whether, regardless of the owner <br /> 309 or the intent, that it's consistent with the surrounding uses. I mean, is Efland Ruritan's intention to stay at that <br /> 310 site? <br /> 311 <br /> 312 Anthony Cecil: Yeah, we have no intentions of ever closing. There is a stipulation in our bylaws. If <br /> 313 something was to ever happen, that property is supposed to be divided up between the area churches, so <br /> 314 hopefully, it will still stay for community use. That's why it was done that way. <br /> 315 <br /> 316 Lamar Proctor: Do your bylaws permit you to sell it? <br /> 317 <br /> 318 Anthony Cecil: No, we're not, they won't sell it. If the club ever dissolves, then the property would be <br /> 319 broken up. It would be taken control by the area churches. <br /> 320 <br /> 321 Lamar Proctor: So that's part of the bylaws. And if you all needed to relocate, could you relocate? Or do <br /> 322 you have to dissolve and reform another organizational charter or something? <br /> 323 <br /> 324 Anthony Cecil: We've never really thought about that. We're not planning on going anywhere. The Ruritan <br /> 325 Club was formed several years ago by, my father was one of them, I've been there since early '80s also, but it <br /> 326 was formed to help the community and do different things and just be there basically for a place for people to <br /> 327 meet. We've had everything from carnivals just trying to pay for the property. Fortunately,we run into the Rodeo <br /> 328 and it helped us out a lot, but no, we don't have any plans of shutting down. <br /> 329 <br /> 330 Lamar Proctor: Well, I want to thank you for what you do for the community. I mean I represent this area <br /> 331 and I live in Efland, so thank you all for all the work y'all do. I really appreciate it and that's all I have. <br /> 332 <br /> 333 Anthony Cecil: Thank you. <br /> 334 <br /> 335 Adam Beeman: The only question I have is do you have an idea of where it would be located on your <br /> 336 property, this ATM? <br /> 337 <br /> 338 Anthony Cecil: If you look, what we had talked about with the Credit Union, there's a little driveway right <br /> 339 here. It used to be where the school buses and all entered the property. About halfway down we had thought <br /> 340 about putting it right there. That was the initial plan, and they actually came out and laid it out and then that's <br /> 341 when the permit got denied. That's when we figured out that it, what it was zoned and that's why we're trying to <br /> 342 solve that problem. We had talked about putting it right there, but we're kind of open to putting it somewhere else <br /> 343 if they think it would be better. And the biggest reason we're asking for a drive-through is safety purposes. We <br /> 344 are kind of in the rural area and ladies, I don't think they like to come up and get out and have to walk up there, <br /> 345 especially in the evening, and stuff like that, but that's the only reason we've discussed a drive-through instead of <br /> 346 a walk up. <br /> 347 <br /> 348 Adam Beeman: So, in that vein, would you block it off rodeo nights because I would assume most of your <br /> 349 walking patrons are going to stop at that ATM? <br /> 350 <br />
