CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
There was no Chairman’s Report.
THE ZONING PRECEPTS WERE READ BY Mr. Talbott to OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING at
approximately 7:06 p.m.
Revocation of Case S-05-012, Steven Anderson – Mr. Talbott opened the public hearing at approximately
7:06 p.m. Mrs. Hayes, Deputy Director of Community Development, reported that Steven Anderson was
issued a Special Use Permit (S-05-012) on 1.22 acres, located on State Road 750/Whitmell School Road in
the Tunstall Election District. She then stated the purpose of the hearing was to gather information to
determine if the Special Use Permit Case should be revoked for willful noncompliance with conditions. Mr.
Steven Anderson was present to represent the petition. He stated he makes his living working on cars and
his sons bring cars in to be repaired. He then stated he has purchased a rollback and he has removed
twenty (20) cars from the property; he is not selling parts; he is trying to get rid of his stuff and is cleaning
stuff out of his buildings. No one spoke in opposition to the petition; however, Mr. Anderson’s daughter,
Whitney Fulton, spoke in support of her father and stated he is trying to clean up the property. Mr. Talbott
closed the public hearing at approximately 7:13 p.m. The Board discussed the petition as the Committee of
the Whole. Upon motion of Mr. Easley, seconded by Mr. Yeaman, the following motion was adopted: to
defer the case until the August 2019 meeting and allow four (4) months for Mr. Anderson to bring his
property into compliance, and if the property is not brought into compliance, the ordinance will be upheld
and the Special Use Permit will be revoked. The Board members will also need a report from Mrs. Hayes
regarding the progress of this case until the August meeting is held. Motion passed unanimously.
This concludes the Special Use Permit case.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 7:25 p.m.
