Mr. Crouch asked if the home was on city water and she said it was a well and she has had the water tested. They told her she needed to check on what the state required for a Bed & Breakfast and she said she would check with the state. Mr. Kramer asked if there were any questions from the audience. There were no questions. After reading the fact-of-findings for a variance of use Mr. Kramer asked for a motion to approve or deny the petition. A motion to approve the variance of use for the Bed & Breakfast at 10302 N Pennington Road with the stipulation that all the standard requirements be met for setbacks and signs was made by Jon Swisher, seconded by Don Barry. Motion carried 4-0. Next was a petition for a variance of use to operate a Professional Counseling Office at 370 W Carlisle Street by Jerry &Judith Brown. They want to buy the house owned by Kim Napier at 3710 W Carlisle St.so they are requesting a variance of use. Judy wishes to operate a counseling business at that address. She has operated a counseling service on Main Street in Mooresville before, her office is currently in Plainfield, and now she would like to move back to Mooresville. Mr. Kramer said that Ms. Napier's name needed to be on the petition to be heard and Mr. Brown said that they had a letter stating that they had permission to apply for the variance and that she was present. He said the letter was in the file. Mr. Swisher asked if the driveway accommodated more that one vehicle. Mr. Brown said only one vehicle would fit in the driveway, but they were stating in the petition they would enlarge the driveway to accommodate two vehicles. He said the business normally only has one car at a time. Mr. Kramer said they would need a power of attorney to hear the petition and he did not see the power of attorney.

Since she owns the property her name should appear on the petition and in the publication. Mr. Kramer said they could not hear the petition unless her name was listed on the publication or they had a power of attorney. Mr. Kramer asked them to table the request until next month. Mr. Brown said they needed to close on the sale next week and if they could get the power of attorney would they still hear the petition tonight. Mr. Kramer said they could, but the power of attorney would have to have a date, state the subject matter, signed by both parties and notarized that they were not signing under duress. Mr. Kramer said they had about a half hour to get the power of attorney. Next was the Crossroads Apostolic Church, 220 Wheeler Street, requesting a variance for setbacks. Mr. Curtis White, Pastor, said over the last seven years they have seen a steady growth and they are in need of a larger education area. They have looked for land, available buildings they could renovate, and the things they have found are very expensive. The Church has not been able to finance a project of that size. For the last eleven months they have been looking at putting a modular building along side their existing building and the modular buildings they would use are identical to what the schools use for classrooms.
