MOO RESVILLE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS The Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals met in a special session on the 22nd day of March, 1979, at 7:30 P.M. The following Board members were present: Mr. Steve Edwards Mrs. Nan Kollmeyer Mr. Paul Walters Mr. Warren Franklin The Board's attorney, Mr. David E. Lawson, was present. The Minutes of the prior meeting in October, 1978, were read and approved. Mr. Steve Edwards, as Chairman, indicated that the Board had con- vened to hear evidence on Petition #1-1979 filed by Robert L. and Nancy A. Heath. Mr. Heath was present with his counsel, Mr Steve Harris. Mr. Lawson advised that the petition was procedurally in order with adequate notice given pursuant to the rules of the Board. Evidence on behalf of the petitioner was presented by Mr. Steve Harris. The following individuals were heard as interested parties concern- ing the variance request. 1. Mr. Fred Glidden appeared and spoke for his mother, Mrs. Berniece Glidden, who resides at 60 East South Street. Mr. Glidden believes that placing the rental unit on the lot by the Heath's would diminish the value of the adjoining property owners: He objected to the home being placed and to front an alley. Mr. Glidden indicated to the Board that if this procedure were allowed to divide the lot for the purposes of placing two residences on the property that it would be a stepping stone for this type of procedure in the neighborhood. He felt that the zoning regulations should be upheld and this type of variance not be permitted. 2. Mr. Charles Lieber, 32 E. South Street, appeared. He opposed the variance and felt that there would be a parking problem created by the same. 3. Mr. Horace E. Adams, 35 E. South Street, appeared in opposition to the variance. He supported the comments made when Mr, Glidden felt that it would diminish the value of his property and adjoining property in the area.
