Someone asked what would stop him from doing other type of butchering? Mr.Currens said this specific variance before the board is to operate a deer meat processing, in other words it would be limited to that specific use and no other. In answer to who would police this or any variance, which is granted, have certain restrictions if it is granted, and this restriction would be enforced through this board in the event they were not being followed. Say they would continue to operate in January, no that was not granted as part of the variance and should not be going on. The Board would be responsible for receiving the violations. Someone asked about animal parts being found all over the neighborhood would that be part of requirement to the variance. Mr. Currens said that would be up to the board to set what restrictions there would be and they can set restriction of the hours of operation, all sorts of thing, or they can find it does not meet the requirement and not grant it at all. Any issue they bring up like that if relevant whether it is granted, or if it is granted whether there should be restrictions on those types of things. Mr. Karr said to ease the concerns of the neighbors he has come up with some possible restriction. One he would restrict the hours from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, a privacy fence on the bank side of the property that joins with theirs, concerning the bones if everyone kept their dogs tied up it would not be that big of a deal, but he knows he can not control that, so the only thing he could do is to put a fence just around the dumpster itself to enclose it. The six yard dumpster had lids on it. Mr. Crouch asked if the lids were plastic and how tall was the dumpster, and Mr. Karr said it was about four feet and the lids were plastic. Mr. Barry said he could padlock the dumpster. Mr. Karr said the padlocks were a good option for the fence, since he only needed the dumpster three months anyway. Mr. Robert Pennington, 10793 N Bethel Road, said he had been living out there for almost twenty years and it is a real quite area and he is against business coming in. Mr. Michael Jones, 10813 N Bethel Road, is opposed to any business coming into the neighborhood. Variance helped to ease his mind, but he is against any variance change. After reading the Facts of Finding for the variance use Mr. Kramer asked for a motion to approve, disapprove or modify the petition. Motion was made by Mr. Barry, second by Mr. Swisher, to deny the petition due to the health issue. Motion carried 3-1. Motion was made by Mr. Swisher, second by Mr. Barry, to adjourn. Motion carried 4-0. The next meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals will be Thursday,May 8, 2003 at 7:00 PM at the Mooresville Town Hall. Alan Kramer, Chairman
