The following persons signed up to speak:
Mr. Alvin Tunes, from Asheboro, North Carolina, spoke in favor of allowing Internet
Sweepstakes Cafes to operate in Pittsylvania County and wants to start up such a business himself.
Mr. Jared Moon, attorney at Wheatley & Clement Law Firm, representing Starlight
Technologies, located on RT 29 and RT 58. Mr. Moon's contention is that his client's currently
operating an Internet Sweepstakes Cafes should be grandfathered into the County's Zoning Ordinance
since there was at the time of his client's doing any necessary paperwork/permitting to fill out for taxing
purposes, there did not exist in Pittsylvania County a Special Use Permit for Internet Sweepstakes Cafes.
Furthermore, Mr. Moon stated that his client was not operating a gambling facility, but renting time for
people to log onto the Internet, and that the sweepstakes portion of the business was an added feature to
promote their product- renting time on the Internet, on the same premise as "the Monopoly game
coupons that McDonald's gives its customers when they make food purchases." Mr. Moon's client,
Starlight Technologies, Inc. stated his client's business on RT 58 in Brosville, Meadowview had been in
operation for I6 months and the business on RT 29, 3325 US. Hwy 29, just north of the intersection of
US RT29/RT 40, for 24 months. Mr. Marty Rainer, owner of Starlight Technologies, Inc., stated that he
considered operation began when he started the paperwork and investment into the business. He had
contacted Ms. Belton in the Zoning office there was no paperwork available for him to fill out for the
County for a Special Permit or a Business License in order for him to operate in Pittsylvania County.
Mr. Moon further stated he felt if the County denied his client the right to operate it would be a burden
on his client since he's done everything the County required him to do, as well as it being unjust after
being in operation, and should be grandfathering in the businesses that are already in operation and
evaluate each independently rather than under a new ordinance with broad language.
Mr. Bob Cheatham, Roxboro, North Carolina, also supported operating businesses being
grandfathered in and that these Internet Sweepstakes Cafes were not gambling facilities but renting time
on the internet.
Mr. Ed Brumfield, also from Roxboro, North Carolina, supported Mr. Cheatham's and Mr.
Moon's comments.
Mr. Brooks Jones, a real estate agent in Danville, Virginia who recently opened his own Internet
Sweepstakes Cafe in Danville, supported the comments in favor of the cafes made by the previous
speakers.
No one else had signed up to speak and Mr. Davis closed the hearing at 8:lOpm. Motion was made by
Mr. Harville, seconded by Mr. Ecker, to approve the supplementary definitions of Non-Emergency
Medical Transport and Emergency Medical Transport for Chapter 35, Zoning, of the Pittsylvania
County Code everywhere that it would apply and the terminology for Non-Emergency Medical
Transport and Emergency Medical Transport is to be inserted into Special Use Permits and permitted
uses as advertised. The following roll call vote was recorded: Mr. Ingram-Yes; Mr. Harville-Yes; Mr.
Ecker-Yes; Mr. Barber-Yes; Mr. Snead-Yes; Mr. Pritchett-Yes; and Mr. Davis-Yes. The Board
