PUBLIC HEARING – MAP AMENDMENT TO THE FOSCOE-GRANDFATHER ZONING ORDINANCE

Chairman Hodges declared a public hearing open at 7:10 P.M. to consider map amendments to the Foscoe-Grandfather Zoning Ordinance.

Mr. Brent Graybeal, Planner II with Planning & Inspections, addressed the Board stating that Mr. Darwin Shaffer, Mr. and Mrs. Gunvatpuri Gosai, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gamble, Sr., Ruth Taylor Marketing, Inc. and Mr. and Mrs. Stanford Douglas had made application to amend the Foscoe-Grandfather Official Zoning Map to change the zoning classification of their properties from the Rural District to the Highway District. There properties were located on Highway 105 near Watauga River Overlook and were across the highway from the former Warren Coleman property which was rezoned to the Highway District in 1996.

The Foscoe-Grandfather Community Council recommended approval of the request (5-1) as was submitted with the exception of lot 2 of Watauga River Overlook owned by the Gambles (this lot would be served by the subdivision road and not Highway 105). The Planning Board recommended approval of the request (5-2). The recommendation included all of the petitioners’ properties and also properties in close proximity owned by Warren Coleman, Verlee Teague and Bradley Teague. Before the petition submittal, staff requested the petitioners discuss the proposal with all property owners located between the Shaffer and Douglas properties. Both Mr. Coleman and Mr. Teague were asked to join the petition but were noncommittal. The Planning Board’s decision to include these properties was based on the staff’s recommendation that the Coleman and Teague properties be included in the petition due to the close proximity to the petitioners’ properties, the adjoining Highway District across Highway 105, the properties were located on the major thoroughfare as described in Article V, Section 3 of the ordinance and the inclusion of the Coleman and Teague properties produced a consistent, logical zoning district boundary.

Mr. Graybeal stated that the Board of Commissioners had three options to consider: 1) approval of the application, 2) approval of a modified version of the application or 3) denial of the application.

Chairman Hodges stated that he had spoken with Mr. Teague who would rather not have his property rezoned. The Teagues had two pieces of property and did not plan to use them as commercial property. Chairman Hodges asked Tax Administrator, Larry McLean, if the properties were rezoned how would that impact the properties’ tax value. Mr. McLean felt there would not be a significant tax increase until the revaluation scheduled for 2002.

 

Mr. William R. Townsend, an adjacent property owner, addressed the Board stating he had no objections to rezoning down to the Taylor property, however, he was concerned about the amount of traffic in the area. In addition, Mr. Darwin Shaffer and Mr. Tom Gamble spoke in favor of the petition.

 

There being no further public comment, Chairman Hodges declared the public hearing closed at 7:27 P.M.

Following discussion, Commissioner Lawrence seconded by Commissioner Kohles, moved to study this request further for discussion at the Board’s next regular meeting scheduled for October 4, 1999.

VOTE: Aye-5

Nay-0

PUBLIC HEARING – DISTRIBUTION OF RURAL OPERATING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Chairman Hodges declared a public hearing open at 7:28 P.M. to consider allocating the Rural Operating Assistance Program funds for Fiscal Year 1999/2000.

 

AppalCART Director, Chris Turner, reviewed the available funds and the proposed allocations for the three programs:

Elderly and Disabled Transportation Assistance Program

 

Project on Aging $11,250

Watauga Opportunities $11,000

Carolina Friendship House $ 3,350

AppalCART $11,067

Mr. Turner stated these were the allocations he proposed and requested the Board’s approval.

 

There being no public comment, Chairman Hodges declared the public hearing closed at 7:33 P.M.

Following brief discussion, Commissioner Kohles seconded by Vice-Chairman Sweeting, moved to approve the allocations for the Rural Operating Assistance Program funds as presented.

VOTE: Aye-5

Nay-0

CONTAINER SITE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT AT POTTERTOWN

County Manager Reed stated that during the budget process the Board discussed providing a container site at Pottertown. Although staff did not feel Pottertown’s population warranted a container site, Mr. Reed suggested placing a roll-off container (with an attendant) in the area each Saturday morning. He had spoken with Assistant County Manager/OSD, Bob Frye, and Mr. Frye estimated a total annual cost of approximately $6,000 to provide this service. In addition, Mr. Reed recommended area residents help the County locate a free site in order for the County to implement this project.

 

Following discussion, Commissioner Coffey seconded by Commissioner Kohles, moved to proceed with this project and for County staff to work with area residents to locate a site for this project.

VOTE: Aye-5

Nay-0

MANUFACTURED HOME APPEARANCE STANDARDS AND MANUFACTURED HOME PARK ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS

Planning & Inspections Director, Joe Furman, addressed the Board regarding proposed amendments to the existing Manufactured Home Parks Ordinance. Mr. Furman stated the Planning Board had worked on this issue for some time, and these amendments were necessary to enact a new ordinance "Manufactured Home Appearance Standards". He discussed the recommended changes with the Board. In addition, although the general statutes did not require a public hearing for this action, Mr. Furman recommended the Board schedule a public hearing for the Board’s regular meeting scheduled for October 19, 1999.

Vice-Chairman Sweeting seconded by Commissioner Coffey, moved to schedule a public hearing for the Board’s regular meeting scheduled for October 19, 1999.

He stated that Watauga County’s NRHA Board of Trustee member, James D. Wilcox’s, term expired December 12, 1999. Mr. Fowler stated Mr. Wilcox had represented Watauga County very well and had missed only one meeting over the past five years due to an illness in his family. Mr. Fowler added the Board could make the appointment at a future meeting but the appointment needed to be made effective December 12, 1999. Mr. James Wilcox addressed the Board stating he appreciated serving on the NRHA Board of Trustees and that he felt Ned Fowler had done a good job as NRHA Executive Director. No action was taken.

AMBULANCE FRANCHISE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AND RFP

County Manager Reed reviewed the Ambulance Franchise Ordinance amendments with the Board. These were the amendments that had been discussed at the Board’s August 23, 1999 special meeting. The Board reviewed the Ordinance from the beginning and made some further amendments. Vice-Chairman Sweeting stated she felt it was important to require the franchisee to have a certified independent audit which would indicate how the County’s subsidy was spent. Commissioner Lawrence voiced his concern that if the Board required an independent audit in this case, the Board would have to require audits from all of the County’s contractors. Vice-Chairman Sweeting reiterated the importance of requiring an audit.

 

Vice-Chairman Sweeting seconded by Commissioner Kohles, moved to amend the Ambulance Franchise Ordinance requiring the franchisee to submit to the County a certified independent audit.

 

Prior to the vote, Chairman Hodges made a motion to include in the Requests for Proposals a request for the franchisee to submit an independent certified audit as requested by the County.

Prior to the vote on Chairman Hodges’ motion, County Manager Reed discussed the problems that could arise if an audit was requested rather than required and suggested the Board specify in the Ordinance whether or not an audit would be required. Chairman Hodges then withdrew his motion.

 

Vice-Chairman Sweeting seconded by Commissioner Kohles, moved to amend the Ambulance Franchise Ordinance under Section XII. (Records) to reflect that within ninety (90) days of the end of the franchisee’s fiscal year, the County would require the franchisee to furnish the County with an independent certified audit.

VOTE: Aye-4 (Coffey, Hodges, Kohles, Sweeting)

Nay-1 (Lawrence)

County Manager Reed reviewed a draft of the Request for Proposal (RFP) with the Board. Mr. Reed stated that most of the RFP was referenced in the Ambulance Franchise Ordinance.

 

Following brief discussion, Commissioner Coffey seconded by Vice-Chairman Sweeting, moved to approve the County’s Request for Proposals for Ambulance Services as discussed.

VOTE: Aye-5

Nay-0

Assistant County Manager/OSD, Bob Frye, understood Mr. Hayes’ concern, however, if the County was to open the container sites on Sunday, it would require additional funding. Mr. Frye added the County provided service for the majority of County residents and that the hours of operation were posted at each container site.

Mr. Cecil Aldridge thanked the Board for conducting their meeting in the Foscoe community. In addition, he presented a petition on behalf of the Mill Ridge Property Owners’ Association to add a turning lane on Highway 105 south at the entrance to the Mill Ridge community.
