Item No. 7 - Other Matters (Z -4645-A)
Owner: Holly Springs Brick and Tile Company
Address: 5705 Patterson Road
Description: To reconsider and modify a previous
Board of Adjustment approval.
STAFF REPORT:
In April of 1986, the Board of Adjustment approved a
variance for this location to waive some of the screening
requirements. The property is zoned "I-2" which requires
all outdoor storage to be screened by a 6 -foot opaque area.
The Board of Adjustment allowed the owners to have a
non-opaque fence along the rear of the property line
adjacent to some railroad tracks. An opaque fence was
required to be constructed along the two streets, Patterson
and Freezer Roads. After reviewing some crime reports and
discussing security for the site with the police, the owners
are now requesting that they be allowed to place a chain
link fence along some of the Freezer Road frontage. (A
graphic will be available at the hearing that shows the
exact location.) The chain link fence would make the rear
of the site more visible and easier for the police to
control. If the opaque fence is constructed, it would be
very difficult to see any questionable activity taking place
on the site.
Staff feels this is a reasonable request and sees no problem
with modifying the approval.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION:
Henry Fullmer, manager of the proposed brick yard, was
present. =There was a long discussion about the request and
Mr. Fullmer reviewed the reasons for needing the chain link
fence along Freezer Road. He said that the Police had
recommended it to make the rear yard more visible. A motion
was then made to modify the previous Board of Adjustment
approval to allow a chain link fence along a portion of the
Freezer Road frontage. The motion was approved by a vote of
5 ayes, 0 noes, 3 absent, and 1 open position.
