Ordinance Maps to recognize those subdivisions which havepublic water supplies or community water systemsJeff Coutu, County Planning Director, spoke of the need to amend the ordinance to put eight subdivisions onthe Zoning maps as Residential 20 zoning He explained these subdivisions have been approved by the Planning Boardfor 20,000 sqft lotsRecognizing citizens present from the Wilsons Mills community, the Chairman asked Mr Coutu to give abrief history of the subdivision, Triangle Estates, located in Wilsons Mills that would be affected by this amendmentMr Coutu explained in December, 1991, the Planning Board reviewed and approved a subdivision plat for a27 acre tract of land, zoned ARR40, in Wilsons Mills He noted that by law, the Planning Board or Planning Staff isnot allowed to ask the developer what he plans to put on the lots It appeared to be a subdivision and the plat wasapproved for 20,000 sqft lots In January, citizens from the neighborhood contacted the Planning Office stating thatmobile homes were being placed in Triangle Estates Subdivision The Planning staff talked with the developer and wasassured by letter that their intention was to sell the lots individually, which is customary with subdivisionsIn February, citizens from Wilsons Mills attended the Planning Board meeting and complained the subdivisionwas being used as a mobile home park The Planning Board heard the complaint; however, after conferring with legalcouncil, decided the developers had vested rights since the subdivision plat was duly approvedMargaret Morgan Kash, attorney retained by a group of citizens from Wilsons Mills, addressed the Board onbehalf of her clients She questioned the Planning Boards practice of approving ARR40 zoned property as subdivisionplats for 20,000 sqft lots if the property had public water or a community water system She noted that ARR40zoning allows for 40,000 sqft lots, and to divide the property into smaller lots should require rezoning She stated0416,3411the developer has already placed twelve mobile homes on the property, six of which appear to be rented on a weeklybasis, and if allowed to continue, can place 51 mobile homes in the subdivision She maintained that the developer nowappears to be developing a mobile home park instead of a subdivision and, in her opinion, such a situation completelygoes against the purpose of zoning She further pointed out that in the Zoning Ordinance, R -20 zoning does not includemobile homes as a permitted useMs Kash informed the Board the citizens she represents would agree to the twelve mobile homes alreadyplaced if they could have assurance that no more mobile homes would be allowed on 20,000 sqft lots in TriangleEstates SubdivisionKenneth Jones, from the Wilsons Mills Community, stated 51 mobile homes on 27 acres would create unduepopulation concentration, the prevention of which is listed as one of the purposes of zoning in the Johnston CountyZoning OrdinanceDonna Creech, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wilsons Mills Christian Church, stated she is concernedwith the quality of life in the community She asked the Board to require the developer to divide the property into40,000 sqft lots in accordance with the ARR -40 zoningTony Southerland who lives and operates a business in the area stated the developer is not selling the lots andoperating the property as a subdivision He asked the Commissioners not to allow the developer to ruin the communitythe citizens of Wilsons Mills have worked hard to buildLinda Uzzle asked the Board to hear the citizens of Wilsons Mills and put a stop to the developers apparentplan for a mobile home park on property divided for a subdivisionPauline Sanders and Joseph Wilder also opposed the developer making

safety of thecommunityRepresentative Billy Creech, NC House of Representatives, added his concern for the quality of life in WilsonsMills and the rest of Johnston County if a developer is allowed to make a mobile home park out of a subdivision Henoted the developer is not providing affordable housing, but rather expensive housing for what the occupant is gettingHe stated he believes in property owners rights; however, not when those rights hurt everyone else Wilsons Mills hasworked hard in racial harmony to upgrade the entire community, and the citizens want to keep the integrity of thecommunity intact He asked the Board to require the developer to comply with the intended rules for subdivisionsCommissioner John M Booker referred to the Countys Mobile Home Ordinance He asked Mr Coutu if, inhis opinion and the opinion of his staff, the property is now being developed as a mobile home park Mr Couturesponded that this would appear to be the caseThe Board discussed the situation
