Date: October 20, 2025
RE: CR 25-05 A request by Kenny Hazelwood for a Conditional Rezoning on
Hydro Road
Summary:
Kenny Hazelwood has a one acre parcel located on Hydro Road in Norwood that is
currently zoned County, R20. Per the Stanly County Zoning Ordinance, the R20 zoning
district does not allow for manufactured homes. The only zoning district that allows for
manufactured homes is the RA (Residential Agricultural) zoning district. Due to the
parcel being located in the Rural Preservation Area, the parcel does not meet the three-
acre minimum lot size requirement and therefore, cannot be rezoned to the traditional
RA zoning district. Mr. Hazelwood is asking for a conditional rezoning that would allow
for the one-acre parcel to have a manufactured home placed on it.
Recommended Action:
- Hold a public hearing.
- Request Board approve or deny the request.

MEMORANDUM
To: Stanly County Board of County Commissioners
From: David Underwood
Date: October 14, 2025
RE: CR 25-05
50581 Hydro Road, Norwood, NC 28128
Tax Record #142416 PIN #657304821209
CR 25-05 Request by Kenneth Hazelwood to rezone a 1 acre tract to a Conditional R-A (Residential
Agricultural) district to allow for a manufactured home to be placed on the property as a primary
dwelling located at 50581 Hydro Road, Norwood, NC 28128 (Tax Record #142416).
Kenneth Hazelwood and his wife own a one acre tract located at 50581 Hydro Road which is zoned
County, R20. The property currently has no structures and it was purchased from the adjoining family
member. According to the Stanly County Zoning Ordinance, the County, R20 zoning district does not
allow for manufactured homes as single family dwellings. The only zoning district that does allow for
manufactured homes is the County, RA (Residential Agricultural) zoning district. Therefore, Mr.
Hazelwood is unable to place a manufactured home on the property.
Due to the property being located in the Rural Preservation Area per the 2040 Stanly County
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the minimum lot size for this property is three acres. Therefore, because
the parcel is only one acre he is unable to ask for a traditional rezoning to the RA zoning district because
the parcel does not meet the minimum lot size requirements.Because of this, Mr. Hazelwood is asking for
the parcel to be rezoned to a Conditional RA(Residential Agricultural) zoning district. This would allow
for certain conditions to be placed on the property including the parcel being less than the required
minimum lot size. You all have received these conditions in your packet.
The Stanly County Planning Board heard this request at their September 8, 2025 meeting. Mr. Hazelwood
explained to the board that the property was given to him and his wife by her grandfather and at that time
they were unaware of the zoning issue. They expressed their interest in purchasing a manufactured home
as opposed to a site built or modular home due to the cost. The Stanly County Planning Board did deny
this request, citing that the property does lie in the Rural Preservation Area and that the property should
meet the required minimum lot size of three acres in order to be consistent with the plan.

Stanly County Planning Board
September 8, 2025 - Meeting Minutes
Call to Order David Underwood called the meeting to order on September 8, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. in the Gene
McIntyre meeting room at 1000 N. First Street, Albemarle, North Carolina.
Stanly County Planning Board members attending David Underwood, Tim Fesperman, Kelly Hart,
Williams Gollehon, Patricia Blaney & Terry Page
Absent: TJ Smith - excused
Stanly County Planning Staff Attending: Bailey Cline, Planning Director & Hunter Rogers, Planner
Chairman Underwood asked for a motion to approve the proposed agenda.
Motion: Tim Fesperman
Second: Terry Page
Approved: 6-0
Vice Chair Underwood asked for a motion to approve the minutes from July 14, 2025.
Motion: Kelly Hart
Second: Patricia Blaney
Approved: 6-0
Chairman Underwood asked if there were any other additions to the agenda that the board needed to consider.
There were none.
Chairman Underwood asked if any of the board members had a family or financial conflict concerning the
proposed rezoning cases.
There were none.
Approved: 6-0
Chair Underwood introduced the first item, CR 25-05 - A request by Kenneth Hazelwood for the
Conditional Rezoning of a one acre parcel from County, R20 to County, RA Conditional District on
Hydro Road, Norwood (PIN# 657304724134).
Chair Underwood invited the staff to share the details of this request.
Bailey Cline shared the following:
Kenneth Hazelwood owns a 1 acre tract located at 50581 Hydro Road, Norwood. Mr. Hazelwood’s tract is
currently zoned County R-20 (Residential) and there are no structures currently built on the property. The
property was most likely zoned R-20 due to its proximity to Lake Tillery. According to the Stanly County
Zoning Ordinance, the R-20 zoning district does not allow for manufactured (mobile) homes to be
Page 9 of 33

[PAGE 10]
used as dwellings. The R-20 zoning district allows for only site built or modular homes. The RA
(Residential Agricultural) zoning district is the only zoning district that allows for manufactured homes.
Due to the property being in the Rural Preservation Area, the minimum lot size is three acres. Since this
property is only one acre, it is unable to be rezoned to the traditional RA zoning district. Therefore, Mr.
Hazelwood is able to ask for a conditional rezoning in order to accommodate for his manufactured home.
Mr. Hazelwood and his wife were gifted this property by their family. At the time that they were gifted the
property they were unaware of the zoning issue at hand. They were not aware of this until they contacted the
Planning Department about putting a mobile home on the property.
The board discussed what the requirements would be different for the property if it was already zoned RA.
Mrs. Cline shared that the main difference is the allowance of different kinds of single family homes.
Manufactured homes are only allowed in the RA zoning district whereas the R20 only allows for site built or
modular. Mrs. Cline shared that the surrounding area is generally RA. The property that this one acre used to
be connected to is split zoned between the R20 zoning district and the RA zoning district. The parcel was
subdivided prior to the three acre rule taking affect.
Mr. Hazelwood was invited up to speak in favor of his request.
M.r Hazelwood shared that he was unaware of this issue whenever they were given this one acre portion of a
large tract that is owned by his wife's grandfather. He shared that he is wanting to go with the manufactured
home as opposed to the modular or site built due to the financial difference. Mr. Hazelwood shared that he did
previously speak with staff and that it was mentioned it could be an issue on the map. Mr. Hazelwood shared
that the site has been evaluated by Stanly County Environmental Health and it was approved.
The Planning Board discussed the options for Mr. Hazelwood if he was not able to place a manufactured
home on the property. Some Planning Board members shared that they were wanting to see if Mr. Hazelwood
could acquire more property from the family member in order to be in the RA zoning district of the property.
The Planning Board voiced their concern of allowing for this rezoning due to it being in the Rural
Preservation Area and wanting to make sure that parcels in the Rural Preservation Area remain the required
minimum lot size of 3 acres.
Chairman Underwood entertained a motion from the board.
Motion: Kelly Hart made a motion to deny CR 25-05, the Rural Agricultural Conditional Rezoning
request by Keenny Hazelwood because it is not consistent with the Stanly County Comprehensive Land
Use Plan.
Second: Terry Page
Denied: 3-3
Chairman Underwood shared that the applicant could meet with staff to decide if they would like to
proceed with this case or not before the Stanly County Board of County Commissioners.

STANLY COUNTY
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS &
BOARD OF EDUCATION
SPECIAL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 22, 2025
In attendance: Chair Mike Barbee, Vice Chair Brandon King, Commissioner Patty Crump,
Commissioner Scott Efird, Commissioner Trent Hatley, Commissioner Bill Lawhon, Commissioner
Billy Mills, County Manager Andy Lucas, County Attorney Jenny Furr and Clerk to the Board Tyler
Brummitt.
Call to Order & Welcome
The Stanly County Board of Commissioners (the Board) held a special joint meeting with the
Stanly County Board of Education (BOE) on Monday, September 22, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the
Gene McIntyre Meeting Room at Stanly Commons.
The BOE meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. by Chair Robin Whitaker, who also gave the
invocation. Commissioner Chair Mike Barbee then called the Board of Commissioners meeting
to order.
Stanly County Schools (SCS) Presentation & Discussion of the Needs-Based Facilities Grant
Applications
Following opening comments, BOE Chair Robin Whitaker turned the meeting over the Ashley
Dennis of Moseley Architects for the presentation.
Ms. Dennis's presentation summarized the key findings from the Facilities Assessment Report
for all schools in western Stanly County. The report included growth projections from Numerix,
detailing each school's current and future capacities.
Due to its proximity to Charlotte, access to employment, and new housing developments,
western Stanly County is experiencing significant growth. As a result, this area is projected to
see the most significant increase in student population for the foreseeable future.
Based on these studies, it was recommended that the current Oakboro STEM Elementary
School, which serves kindergarten through eighth grade with a capacity of 412 students, be
demolished. A new school for kindergarten through fifth grade, with a capacity for 700
students, would then be constructed on the same site.
Additionally, it was recommended that West Stanly Middle School undergo an expansion to
increase its capacity from 585 to 950 students. This expansion is needed, in part, to
Page 22 of 33

[PAGE 23]
accommodate the sixth through eighth-grade students who will no longer attend Oakboro
STEM Elementary and will instead be shifted to West Stanly Middle School.
As recommended, the total cost for both projects is $84.35 million. This includes $53.83
million for the demolition and construction of Oakboro Elementary, and $30.52 million for the
West Stanly Middle School Expansion.
Following the presentation, the Board of Education noted its intent to apply for two (2) needs-
based grants totaling $52 million to support these projects.
If these grants are received, an additional $32.35 million is needed to cover the remaining
costs. Additionally, a 5% local match of approximately $4.2 million will be required, resulting
in a total funding request of $36,567,500 from the County.
After the presentation, the Boards discussed the information presented and the requested
financial support from the County.
The Board of Education meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.
Recess
Chair Barbee called for a short recess then reconvened the Board of Commissioners meeting
at 8:02 p.m.
Chair Barbee called for discussion to either approve or deny the grant applications and the
financial commitment requested from the County.
Board members raised several concerns, including the potential for cost overruns similar to
those experienced with the Endy Elementary expansion project. There were also questions
raised about the estimated cost of $450 per square foot, which some felt was too high.
Additionally, concerns were raised that West Stanly Middle School may reach capacity again
within a few years of the expansion's completion. It was also questioned if the study took into
consideration those students who are homeschooled or attend charter or Christian schools.
During discussion, County Manager Lucas proposed that the Board consider supporting a total of
$52 million in grant application funding. This amount would instead require a 5% local match of
$2.6 million, which he noted the County can fund from the General Fund Balance without raising
taxes or incurring additional debt.
If awarded, the $52 million grant would cover the demolition and rebuilding costs for Oakboro
Elementary School, as well as the addition to West Stanly Middle School.
Following discussion, Vice Chair King made a motion to provide a maximum local match of
$2.6 million (or 5%) from the County. This motion is contingent upon the Board of Education
Page 23 of 33

[PAGE 24]
agreeing to amend their grant applications for a total of $52 million for the replacement of
Oakboro Elementary School and the West Stanly Middle School addition.
Commissioner Hatley seconded the motion, which then passed by a 6-1 vote (Chair Barbee
voted against).
With no further discussion, Commissioner Efird moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by
Vice Chair King and passed by unanimous vote at 8:32 p.m.

Commissioner Mills encouraged everyone to support the local high school football teams by
attending the Friday night games. He also shared several perks available for seniors, including
free passes to the high school football games provided by the Senior Center and $10 car washes
at the Tidal Wave Auto Spa in Albemarle. He also noted that Medicare information sessions will
be held on Tuesday, October 7th at 10 am, 1 pm and 4 pm at the Agri-Civic Center.
Commissioner Lawhon recently attended the Alcoa-Badin quarterly conference at the Badin Inn
where he learned that Alcoa has removed all the potlines in the buildings to encourage other
businesses to locate there.
Commissioner Efird announced that the City of Locust's End of Summer Concert event,
including fireworks, has been rescheduled to October 17th due to prior weather conditions.
Commissioner Crump extended her thanks to those who spoke during the public comment
session. She also inquired about strategies the county could implement to encourage
applications for the RFAAC and the process by which individuals are appointed.
Commissioner Hatley asked if the RFAAC members receive compensation for attending the
meetings and if those who are appointed have to be senior citizens. Commissioner Lawhon
responded that members receive mileage reimbursement and do not have to be senior citizens
