New Business
| Item #1 |
Rezoning Application
(2005-11-41) from Ricky Edwards to rezone property from General
Use (GUD) to Basic Residential (R3-1) on property located at One
Mill Road in Shiloh Township, NC |
Staff commented on this application and stated that rezoning this property
to Basic Residential was not in compliance with CAMA Land Use Plan as
the property is located outside the Core Village of Shiloh. Staff also
stated that with the current adequate facilities existing in the County,
any rezoning that causes higher density should be denied.
At this time, Chairman Burnham
opens the matter to discussion from the applicant. Eddie Hyman of Hyman & Robey
represented Ricky Edwards. Hyman requested that the board consider
rezoning the property based on
the fact that this proposal is semi- compatible with the land use
plan and provides the desired water access plan for the public. In
addition,
Mr. Hyman also stated that the property is one of the few left
in the county that would provide possible public access to water, and
that the
adjacent property owner was working on a proposed development as
a marina. Mr.Hyman stated that all they are requesting is consideration
of the
rezoning, and if approved, would allow the owner to proceed with
a possible upscale development. Dan Porter asked if the owner ever
considered zoning
to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) which would allow for smaller
lots and leave open space. Mr. Hyman said that that could be a possibility,
and will take it under consideration. Terri Griffin stated, considering
what the staff and planning board are working on, the board should
table
this business until the board has time to finish review of the
entire county. Michael Etheridge recommended that the board table the
rezoning.
Bob Woodrow seconded the motion. The motion then passed 6-0.
| Item # 2 |
Rezoning Application
(2005-11-43) from Merlan, LLC to rezone property from Basic Residential
(R3-2) to General Use (GUD) on property located off Island Road,
South Mill Township. |
Ray Albertson recused himself as he is the manager of Melran LLC.
Staff recommends the approval for the rezoning of the property off Island
Road. The staff stated that the proposed zoning change and permitted
uses are more compatible with the current land use plan. Bob Woodrow
asked the staff for further clarity as to why the property was zoned
Basic Residential. Dan Porter, Camden County Planning Director, cited
changes that were made in 2002. Porter explained that land use impacts
were not as well conceived at that time. After further discussion on
the possible proposed use and possible impacts on the county, Michael
Etheridge made a motion to approve the rezoning. Terri Griffin seconded
the motion. The motion passed 5-0.
| Item # 3 |
Proposed Amendment to Article
151 of the Camden County Code of Ordinances. |
The staff stated that the proposed minor changes, decided upon
at the special meeting on December 8, 2005, be presented to the Board
of Commissioners for possible approval. After discussing the minor
changes, Michael Etheridge made a motion to approve the proposed amendments
with the changes from staff. Bob Woodrow seconded the motion. The motion
passed 6-0.
