The next item was the public hearing on Rezoning REZONING PETITION R75-8
Petition R75-8, Parker D. Rushing, to rezone property Parker D. Rushing
located South of Hyland Park Subdivision, East of Crossover Road, and North
of the end of Stone Bridge Road, from R-1, Low Density Residential District,
to A-1, Agricultural District.
Planning Consultant Larry Wood. gave the Planning Report and recommended the
approval of this rezoning since it seemed appropriate to the current use and the
purposes of the district fit the character of the area.
Parker Rushing was present to represent.
John Power arrived at 4:15 P.M.
Mr. Rushing said he had horses on his land now and would like to extend it and
develop a horse stable.and keep horses. He said he felt many of the homes in
that area would be wealthy enough that they would want horses. He said this
would also be a good way to keep the area in a sentimental way with park like
surroundings. He said he was trying to find a way for the property to pay for
itself on taxes and he could not build a barn under the R-1 regulations. He
stated he felt this was a good place for A-1 zoning and would prevent "wall-
to-wall" houses in the area. He said he would also like to have riding trails.
He felt that some people had the fear of a slaughter house or something of this
Planning Commission -2-
May 13, 1975
nature since it would be allowed under this zoning. He said as long as he had
it they should have no fears of anything of this nature going in. He also pointed
out that since it was a fairly valuable piece of property if someone did buy it
they would want to try to make some money off of it and would, therefore, not
want to put a slaughter house on it.
In answer to Donald Nickell's question, Mr. Rushing said he would build the barn
somewhere on the back (East) 40 acres.
Mrs. Sam Taylor was present in opposition to the rezoning request.
She asked Mr.Rushing whether access to his property would be from Stone Bridge Road
or Highway 265; Mr. Rushing replied it would be off of Highway 265.
Mrs. Taylor said this would be a commercial enterprise and would allow the renting
of horses, stable renting to people, and the selling and trading of horses.
Chairman Gitelman read aloud the list of permissible uses in Use Unit 6 and Use Unit 7.
Jim Lindsey asked if the slaughter house would come under these uses and Chairman
Gitelman said he did not think it would, as there were special conditions and
setbacks on slaughter houses.
Jim Lindsey (developer of Hyland Park) was present and said he had no objections
to Mr. Rushing building the barn but felt the interest of the people that had bought
and would be buying should be protected and that some limitshould be placed on it.
In answer to Mrs. Taylor's question, Chairman Gitelman explained that most
agricultural things are commercial enterprises in a sense.
Paul Jameson, attorney for Mrs. Lucille M. Payte who owns property on the West
side of Crossover Road, was present to oppose the request.
He said Mrs. Payte felt her investment would be impaired by the granting of the
petition because of the matter of the activities that would be allowed under
A-1 zoning (Items such as rodeo performances, horse shows, rock festivals) - -
where there would be a large number of people and Mrs. Payte felt that these would
detract from the use of the area Mr. Jameson said he realized that Mr. Rushing
was a citizen that has his own property rights but he felt that the Commission should
bear in mind that if the classification is granted as petitioned for Mr. Rushing
that it would open up the possibilities of the other uses under the A-1 district
as he already pointed out. He hoped the Commission would consider the alternative
of a variance to allow Mr. Rushing to build a barn.
In answer to John Maguire's question, Chairman Gitelman said thatto include this
in a use unit, the ordinance would have to be amended, a public hearing would have
to be called, and it would have to go to the Board of Directors also.
Jim Lindsey felt this could tie in with a PUD since riding trails were allowed
under that. Mr. Lindsey said he felt that Mr. Rushing had good intentions by
coming to the Planning Commission with this request since he probably could have
built the barn without anyone knowing about it because of the location. Mr. Lindsey
confirmed again that he was for Mr. Parker's plans 100 per cent but was concerned
about what would happen in the situation if something happened to Parker Rushing.
It was considered by the Planning Commission that perhaps Mr.Rushing could rezone
a smaller portion of his property to A-1 to allow the barn to be built and this
would also give the neighbors some security about the future.
Mr. Rushing said he would have to have a buffer strip and would really like to
have the whole thing zoned A-1. He said he did not know for sure where he wanted
to build his barn.
Jack Ray arrived at 4:35 P.M.
Ernest Jacks felt if riding stables was included under Use Unit 4 that this would
probably be the kind of thing that would come up in larger areas of town on appeal
to the Planning Commission.
Chairman Gitelman felt that this was not a question that could be taken care of
at this meeting since a public hearing would have to be held to adopt this.
John Maguire explained to Parker Rushing that the Planning Commission would try
to accomplish what he had alleged to set before them as a riding stable and yet
preserve the integrity of the zone.
Planning Commission -3-
May 13, 1975
Mrs. Taylor asked if this would allow concession stands and Chairman Gitelman
explained that uses permissible on appeal to the Planning Commission gives the
Planning Commission some discretion.
Chairman Gitelman closed the public hearing on Rezoning Petition R75-8.
Donald Nickell wanted to see whether or not Mr. Rushing wished to dispose of this
item at this time. If so, the way it was petitioned he felt he could not vote in
favor of it because it would be jeopardizing other property there.. However, if he
wished to table the request and come back later under appeal, he would like to see him
get his barn built.
Helen Edmiston inquired of Planning Consultant Larry Wood why he had recommended this
A-1 District when the Land Use Study recommended it R-1.
Mr. Wood said the A-1 District should be used as a holding zone while property is
awaiting developing in the City. He said there was something wrong if the A-1 Zoning
is feared by the surrounding (R-1) properties and the Commission.
John Maguire moved that riding stables be included as an item in Use Unit 4 on appeal
to the Planning Commission.
Ernest Jacks seconded the motion.
The motion was voted upon and approved by a vote of 7-1-1. Rita Davis was opposed and
Chairman Gitelman abstained.
Parker Rushing then told the Planning Commission that he would like to have action
taken on his rezoning request at this time.
Ernest Jacks moved to deny Rezoning Petition R75-8.
Donald Nickell seconded the motion which was: approved by a vote of 6-3 with Davis,
Ray, and Gitelman opposing.
REZONING PETITION R75-9
The next item on the agenda was the Mission Blvd. $ Tanglewood Ave.
public hearing on Rezoning Petition R75-9, Maple Street $ Lafayette Street
Fayetteville Planning Commission (Petitioner), to rezone property bounded on the
West by Mission Boulevard, on the East by Tanglewood Avenue, on the North by Maple Street,
and on the South by Lafayette Street, from I-1, Heavy Commercial $ Light Industrial
District, to R-2, Medium Density Residential District.
Chairman Gitelman explained the factors that led up to this request. (1) what the
Planning Commission perceived as a possible or probable abandonment of the works of
the gas company in that industrial area. (2) Some of the members of the Planning
Commission felt there was an alarming increase in the nature of commercial uses
on Mission Boulevard between the gas company. property and Mission. A number of
non -conforming uses and commercial uses that had been approved on a case by case basis
until it was suddenly found there was a block of property which was essentially
devoted to commercial uses. Therefore, the Planning Commission filed this so that
a study by the Planning Consultant could be made on it and a public hearing held on
whether or not to leave the area as it already is or to dezone it to a residential use.
Larry Wood gave the Planning Report and recommended R-2 as the appropriate zoning
for this property.
Chairman Gitelman said he had a letter from the gas company protesting the rezoning
of the property. He also acknowledged a letter from S. E. Winkler (small business
owner on Lafayette Street) who protested the rezoning. Also, Mr. Lynn Wade had
handed Chairman Gitelman a letter protesting the rezoning because he was a part
owner in a small business and felt it was not fair on his part because he had not
received notice of the public hearing.
Joel Freund (who operates the canoe store on the corner of Mission and Maple)
was present and asked Planning Consultant Larry Wood why, since the majority of the
general area is R-1, he had not recommended that tract of 7 acres be R-1. Mr. Freund
said he felt it should be rezoned but to R-1 rather than R-2, and added that this is a
terrible corner and that R-2 would only make it worse.
In answer to this, Planning Consultant Larry Wood said he felt the City should start

taking advantage of these passed -over parcels. He said we could not continue to sprawl
out across the countryside and expect the municipal government to operate utility
services. He said they had to begin to get more dense in developments wherever
possible.
Mr. Freund said he hated to see Fayetteville become more infested with R-2 and R-3 units
since it was generally a pretty town.
Chairman Gitelman explained that it was a case of balance between the problems
of "urban sprawl" against the so-called American ideals of the single-family dwelling
on a large lot. He said that around the country more and more cities are being
required (sometimes against their own will)to provide for more and more kinds of
housing.
Ginger Parker, 700 Dogwood Lane, was present and stated that regardless of what the
Planning Commission did with the gas company property, she would like to request they
rezone to some residential zone the land that is now being used for residential
purposes in the I-1 Zone. She said there were a lot of older homes and the uses
permissible under an I-1 Zoning would allow them to be torn down and just about anything
could go in, and this would affect the property values of all the property at the foot
of the mountain (hers included). She said most of the homes were single-family
(there are two or three that are rental houses), and while she preferred to see
single family go in there she could see how it would be much easier to sell these lots
for multiple -family dwellings because it backs onto the gas company property. She
emphasized again that no matter what they did on Mission at least rezone the strip on
Lafayette where it would be and stay residential.
Betty Jo Easterling (who has a rental house on East Lafayette) and also Mrs. Louise
Brooks (Dogwood Lane) both stated the same opinion as Mrs. Parker.
Mrs. H. D. Bird said she would like to see it changed to residential also.
Mr. Lee Cate (who has rental property on 620 East Maple) said he was pleased with the
proposal to change the zoning to R-2.
Mr. Joe Bordens, Dogwood Lane, agreed with Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Easterling and said
that the strip on Lafayette just about ruins the neighborhood.
Mr. Steve Winkler (who had submitted a letter protesting this) was present and told
the Planning Commission that he was a small businessman involved in a landscaping
business and a wrecking contractor. He said he located and bought this property on
Lafayette Street because it was zoned I-1. He said he also lived at this location
and thought that it was good when a person could have agricultural ventures near his
home. He felt this island of activity was beneficial to everyone around and would not
disturb the quietness of the neighborhood and would not disturb the beauty of it (for
example cutting down trees) because he did live here. He felt the small businesses
would not bring property values down and stated that he liked the zoning the way it was.
Mr. Hugh Scarbrough was present and stated that his father lived right acrossthe
street from Mr. Winkler and that he himself lived around the corner from this on
Fletcher. He said he would like for: the Planning Commissioners to see Mr. Winkler's
property, especially since he (Mr. Winkler) lived there.
Mr. Winkler said the property was deteriorated before he purchased it and that he was
in the process of landscaping and had stones and building material around but that he
was in the process of developing something pleasant.
Mr. Steve Moore was present and stated that he was with Mr. Winkler when bought
the place and first started as a wrecking contractor. He said Mr. Winkler had since
developed a business whereby he is in demand as a contractor. Mr. Moore said if the
property were rezoned and this business became non -conforming, Mr. Winkler would
have to stop part of his business and lose part of his livlihood because he builds
racks. Mr. Moore said Mr. Winkler was one of the hardest working men he had
ever known. He said he had been busy making racks in addition to working on his place
and though the place may not have all the clean lines that would make it attractive
to most people, Mr. Moore said he could certainly state that Mr. Winkler was working
on it. He also stated that Mr. Winkler planned to construct a fence to enclose his
Operation.

Planning Commission -5-
May 13, 1975
Mr. Ed Huenefeld, 724 Dogwood Lane, agreed with Mrs. Parker and said he would also
like to see this area rezoned.
Mr. Rex Benham, 526 E. Lafayette, couldn't understand how this area could be a
very good potential for businesses because of the location.
Mr. Dale Evans, Mission Boulevard, said he owned a small business and was concerned
about the rezoning because he had been thinking about the possibility of extending
his present business ( house plants and various crafts) into a greenhouse type
operation. He said he was hoping to go back to law school in the fall and needed
this to support him; this would be close to his home and he would have time left
for school studies while working at this. (If this strip is rezoned the existing
businesses would become non -conforming and while they could go ahead and operate,
they could not expand the business. He said he did not understand all the
alternatives and that apartments would have the same detrimental effect on the
R-1 as Commercial uses.
Mr. Bob McKinney said he lived on Dogwood Lane for 9 years and his mother owns
rental property on the South side of Lafayette. He said it had always been a very
lovely place to bring up children and he thought people would have misgivings if this
were commercial. He thought that when the barber shop went in on Mission Boulevard
that it was a well-founded thing; that he knew the man personally and knew his
state of health and the business had supported the man. However, as a former resident
of the area he preferred that it be R-1 and not go any further industrially.
Chairman Gitelman declared the public hearing closed.
Rita Davis asked about the possibility of rezoning the strip on Lafayette R-1 and the
rest R-2.
The Commission went into a discussion about the gas company property. If the area
were rezoned, then the gas company would also become a non -conforming use and could
not expand their facilities.
Chairman Gitelman said he was in favor of rezoning this residential but did not
know whether or not he would be in favor of excluding the gas company so that it
would remain I-1. He felt that this would show a sort of favoritism because it
was a bigger operation than the existing smaller businesses involved.
Ernest Jacks said this whole piece of property was zoned when this utility went in
(the gas company); therefore, he felt that there would not be any favoritism shown.
Ernest Jacks moved to recommend to the Board of Directors to rezone the property
(the strip of lots facing Lafayette) to R-1 and the rest of the area under
consideration (excluding the gas company leaving it I-1) to R-2.
Rita Davis seconded the motion.
Chairman Gitelman was still concerned about excluding the gas company. He felt that
the area should be left as is or wait until the gas company moves out of the area to do
anything about it.
Donald Nickell and Jack Ray indicated they shared Chairman Gitelman's opinion.
Donald Nickell said he felt bad about giving preferential treatment for a big outfit
and then turning around and denying the smaller businesses. He felt it should all be
kept in the same classification.
Steve Winkler objected to splitting the zoning.
John Maguire and Helen Edmiston concurred with this.
Mr. Gitelman said there was not anything to keep the Commission from zoning this
to R-1 andR-2 and include the gas company making their operations a non -conforming
use also.
Mr. Nickell said he had no objection to the R-1 or the R-2. However, he thought when
the Commission first came up with this idea that they thought they would give the
people in this area a better chance to utilize their property (as it was felt this
property was quite valuable property); since the people had rather have it R-1,
he felt it should be zoned that way.
After considerable discussion the motion and second that was on the floor was defeated
by a vote of 2-6-1. Jacks, Davis voted "Aye", John Maguire abstained, and Edmiston,
Nickell, Kisor, Power, Gitelman, and Ray voted "Nay".
Planning Commission 26 -
May 13, 1975
John Power moved to recommend to the Board of Directors the rezoning of the whole area
• (including the gas company) to R-2.
Bill Kisor seconded the motion which was approved by a vote of 8-1 with Ernest Jacks
opposing.
Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones told the Planning Commission members the Zoning
Ordinance required 3/4 of the vote of the Board of Directors to rezone the property
if there was written protest from the owners of 20% of the property under consideration,
and that in the event of a close vote that it may be necessary to have the legal
descriptions of the properties involved.

Rita Davis left the meeting at 5:51 P.M.
The next item was a Conditional Use Request submitted
by B $ B Discount Sales, Inc., dba Lumberjack
Builders Supply to operate as a building materials
supply in a C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial District, at 2217
Ernest Jacks moved that the Conditional Use Request of B $
be approved; the motion was seconded by Donald Nickell.
It was voted upon and approved unanimously.(6-0).
CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST

The next item was a request to change a non -conforming Request to Change
use of property at 905 North College Avenue from NON=CONFORMING USE
a paint store to a resale shop for antiques, used Loy Peters
furniture, dishes and appliances, clothing, etc. sub- 905 North College Avenue
mitted by Loy Peters (zoned R-0, Residential Office District.)
Ernest Jacks felt that this usage would not be any more intense than the former
usage.
Ernest Jacks moved to approve the request for the change of the non -conforming use.
Helen Edmiston seconded the motion which was approved unanimously.
Rita Davis re-entered the meeting at 6:55 P.M.
The next item was a request for approval of a tandem lot submitted TANDEM LOT
by James T. Waddell. Mr. Waddell seeks approval of a "lot split" James T. Waddell
wherein he purchased the property at 2617 City Lake Road from 2617 City Lake Road
his father-in-law who retained the dwelling at 2635 City Lake Road. (The property
had two dwellings on it prior to the sale).
Mr. Waddell was present to represent.
John Power asked Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones if they were not actually looking
at two things --- a tandem lot development as well as a lot split.
Mrs. Jones explained that she could approve the lot split if the tandem lot is approved
by the Planning Commission, but explained that Mr. Waddell could not further divide
the property or build on it.because the 25 foot would not be adequate for street
right-of-way. She said Mr. Waddell had come into the Planning Office for a building
permit to remodel the existing house.
The Commissioners asked Mr. Waddell if he was aware that he could not divide this
up any more and build on it; Mr. Waddell said that he was.
Mr. Waddell said that there was no intention of building another structure on the
property.
Ernest Jacks moved that the request for the tandem lot be approved.
Helen Edmiston seconded the motion which was approved unanimously.
REFERRAL FROM CITY BOARD
Mr. Jacks moved to table the Referral from the City Board Proposed Amendment of
of Directors to the City Planning Commission for review Master Street Plan
and recommendations on proposed ordinance to amend the Master Street Plan recommendations

for the central business district to conform
after the Housing Authority's public hearing
what was going to happen on the square.
Helen Edmiston seconded the motion which was
with. the Urban Renewal Plan until
was held and they were aware of
approved unanimously.
McILROY BANK
The next item on the agenda was the revision to the Revision of Approved L.S.D
approved Large Scale Development approved April 22, 1975, North F, Garland
for a branch bank (Mcllroy Bank) to be constructed at North and Garland.
(Planning Commission approval at that time specified a setback of 90 feet from
the centerline of both street rights-of-way; Mcllroy Bank has appealed to the
Board of Adjustment for a variance to permit a future addition that would be
80 feet from the centerline of North Street.)
Ernest Jacks gave the Subdivision Committee Report. He said the Planning
Commission had approved the Large Scale Development at their last meeting with
several restrictions, one of them being a setback of at least 90 feet from the
centerlines of both North and Garland. He said since that time the Bank had
gone before the Board of Adjustment and had been granted a variance where only
an 80 foot setback from North Street was required(for the future addition).
Therefore, the Planning Commission now needed to amend their restriction.
Ernest Jacks moved that the Planning Commission restrictions of 90 feet from
both streets be replaced by 90 feet from the centerline of Garland and 80 feet
from the centerline of North in regard to future construction.
Bill Kisor seconded the motion.
There was no further discussion; the motion was approved unanimously.
UPCHURCH ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CO., INC.
The next item for consideration by the Large Scale Development
Planning Commission was the Large Scale 2355 North Gregg Avenue
Development Plan submitted by Upchurch Electrical Supply Co., Inc. 2355 North Gregg
Avenue.
Hugh Brewer Jr. was present to represent.
He told the Planning Commission that they wanted to build a 40' by 170' storage
shed to protect the items that were now out in the weather.
Ernest Jacks said the Subdivision Committee looked at this item and the only
question was whether or not the Planning Commission wanted to waive the requirement
for 10 foot of additional right-of-way for Gregg Avenue for the Major Street
Plan. (Gregg is shown as having 30 feet of right-of-way now and minor streets
require 50 feet. Ordinarily, 10 feet of additional right-of-way would have to
be dedicated from each side of the street. In this case, however, Gregg is
proposed to be moved to the East side of the railroad tracks.
Helen Edmiston and Donald Nickell felt that the additional 10 feet should not have
to be dedicated.
Helen Edmiston moved to recommend to the Board of Directors the approval of
the Large Scale Development Plan of Upchurch Electrical Supply Co., Inc. without
the requirement for additional right-of-way.
Donald Nickell seconded the motion.
The motion was voted upon and approved unanimously by a vote of 9 "Ayes".
Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones had two items to discuss OTHER BUSINESS
with the Planning Commission that were not on the agenda.
Land Use Study - Highway 265
The first item was concerning the Land Use Study along the corridor of Highway
265. She wanted to know if the Planning Commission was ready to schedule a
Planning Commission -8-
May 13, 1975
public hearing on this since there was a rezoning petition that depended on this.
Ernest Jacks moved to schedule a public hearing on this.
John Power seconded the motion which was approved unanimously.
The Planning Commission instructed Bobbie Jones to put Rezoning Petition .R75-1
(Goff) back on the agenda for the same Planning Commission Meeting as the public
hearing on the Highway 265 corridor but to place it after the public hearing
on the agenda.
The second item was that Street Superintendent Clayton Powell had told her that
the Technical Advisory Committee had met and voted unanimously to keep Old Wire Road
as a minor arterial street on the Master Street Plan. Mr. Powell also said the
Policy Committee met only twice a year but the Planning Commission could call a
special meeting if they felt it was necessary, but that he himself would not call
a special meeting. (Loris Stanton had requested that Old Wire Road be made
a collector.)
The Planning Commission felt it was not necessary to take any action on this unless
Mr. Stanton came back to them on it.
There was no further discussion on this item.
DISCUSSION ON ZONING SETBACKS
Item number 10 on the agenda was a request from Commissioner Helen Edmiston for
a discussion on zoning setbacks particularly in the I-1 district. This item was
tabled from the April 22 meeting because of the time factor.
Again Mrs. Edmiston felt that this should be put on the agenda for the next
meeting rather than discussing it at this time because of the time factor involved.
The Planning Commission felt this item should be placed close to the top of the
agenda for the next meeting so it would be certain to be discussed at that
time.
There was no further business.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:15 P.M.
