Public Comment Period
Chairman Edds opened the floor for Public Comment and closed it after everyone wishing to
speak had done so.
Bobby Kemp, 250 Chalk Maple Road, discussed various concerns about property tax
revaluation impacts, the need for additional coordination requirements tied to new building
permits, and advocacy for the development of veterans’ homes on county land. He also provided
an update on statewide legislative efforts related to property tax reform and urged continued
consideration of these matters by the Board.
Public Hearing: Road Name Changes – Three Forks Drive and Jacob Bost Road
Page 2 of 10 03/02/26

[PAGE 3]
Pamela Ealey, Planning Technician, said the following road name change has been submitted
to the Rowan County Planning Department and are presented for approval by the Board of
Commissioners.
1. Currently Known As: No name driveway
Proposed Name: Three Forks Drive
Location: 2500 block of South River Church Rd, Woodleaf, NC 27054 (SR 1981)
Property Owners: Myra Phillips, Mary Grace Rogers, Joshua & Christy Koontz, David
& April Johnson, and Eric Snyder.
Reason for Change: drive has three (3) addressed structures with plans for at least one
(1) more structure sharing the same drive.
2. Currently Known As: Henderson Grove Church Rd (SR 2698)
Proposed Name: Jacob Bost Road (SR 2543)
Location: 100-800 block of Henderson Grove Church Rd, Salisbury, NC (SR 2698)
Property Owners: Blalock-Lanter, LLC; Michael & Cynthia Leatherman; Jeremy
Upright; Three Rivers Landtrust; Joan Leatherman
Reason for Change: NCDOT recently completed a road improvement project on
Henderson Grove Church Road that permanently closed the railroad crossing in the 100
block and added a new roadway at the 800 block connecting to W. Ritchie Road. Due to
this new configuration, a road name change is required. Rowan County APA
recommends renaming the former Henderson Grove Church Road (100–800 block) to
Jacob Bost Road. This would extend the existing Jacob Bost Road. The newly
constructed connecting road would be named Henderson Grove Church Road. This
would make Henderson Grove Church Road from Peach Orchard Road to W Ritchie
Road. This recommendation has been approved by NCDOT and the City of Salisbury.
There are no 911 addresses being affected by this request.
At 3:14 p.m Chairman Edds opened the Public Hearing and closed it after no one wished to
speak.
Commissioner Pierce asked if the Airport Parkway would be affected by this name change.
Ms. Ealey said she did not think so, but regardless, the road needs to have a name.
On motion of Greene, seconded by Pierce, the Board voted 4-0 to approve the petition for the
road name changes for Three Forks Drive and Jacob Bost Road.
Quasi-Judicial Hearing: SUP 01-26 – Kevin Settineri
Chairman Edds said called hearing for consideration of SUP 01-26 to order and said it would
focus on an application submitted by Kevin Settineri for an expansion of an existing dog
boarding kennel located at 2230 Old Union Church Road. He requested that any member of the
Board who may have a conflict of interest in hearing the case address the Board prior to any
testimony or information being presented. When the Board enters into deliberations to decide the
case, no further testimony may be presented. The Board will render one of the following three
decisions:
1. Approve the permit as requested or with additional conditions;
Page 3 of 10 03/02/26

[PAGE 4]
2. Continue the request; or
3. Deny the request.
All parties who plan to testify in this must be sworn in. Those who testify must state their
name and address at the podium for the benefit of the Board’s Clerk. All material presented must
be given to the Clerk and will become part of the record. This Board can only accept sworn
testimony. No hearsay evidence is admissible.
Clerk to the Board Sarah Pack swore in all those who wished to testify.
Shane Stewart, Assistant Planning Director, presented the staff report and application
analysis (Attachment A). He stated that the request involved the consolidation and expansion of
an existing, long-established dog boarding and daycare operation known as Camp Furry Friends.
While the application listed Kevin Centenary as the applicant, Mr. Stewart clarified that the
property owner and business operator, Jessica Holman, was present and available to answer
questions.
Mr. Stewart oriented the Board to the subject property using aerial imagery and site maps.
The property consists of two adjacent parcels totaling just over 42 acres, located south of Crane
Creek and east of Interstate 85, with nearby land uses that include residential properties, rural
home occupations, and light commercial and industrial uses. Notably, the Aldi distribution center
in East Spencer lies to the north of the site.
The kennel operation originally began around 2007–2008, with subsequent incremental
expansions. Approximately five years prior, the Board approved a prior Special Use Permit
allowing additional kennel-related structures. The current request does not introduce a new use,
but instead proposes to modernize and consolidate existing operations into a single purpose-built
facility.
The proposal includes construction of a 6,000-square-foot primary kennel building located in
the northeastern portion of the property. The building would feature:
• A 14-by-40-foot covered drop-off awning, allowing clients to load and unload animals
under shelter;
• A covered outdoor play area measuring approximately 60 by 60 feet, enclosed by a
minimum six-foot fence to provide controlled outdoor activity space;
• Interior kennel areas designed to accommodate the facility’s licensed capacity.
Mr. Stewart emphasized that the proposed building location was selected to ensure
compliance with all required setbacks, including a minimum 100-foot separation from property
lines and Old Union Church Road, as required by the zoning ordinance. A professional survey
confirmed compliance with setback requirements and verified that the building would be located
outside the floodplain and on higher ground.
A significant component of the proposal involves improved site access. The existing entrance
to the facility is approximately 900 feet from Old Union Church Road, requiring customers to
Page 4 of 10 03/02/26

[PAGE 5]
travel deep into the property. The proposal includes a new driveway directly off Old Union
Church Road, improving safety, efficiency, and customer convenience.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation conducted a site inspection and
determined that the proposed driveway location is suitable for a commercial access permit. The
site plan depicts approximately ten parking spaces, which staff indicated exceeds anticipated
demand based on current operations.
Mr. Stewart reported that the facility is currently licensed for up to 40 dogs, with
approximately 15 enclosures, and that the proposed expansion would maintain similar capacity
rather than substantially increase intensity. The kennel operates under annual licensure and
inspection by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, Animal Welfare Section, which
confirmed that there were no compliance concerns with the existing operation or the proposed
expansion. Importantly, the applicant committed that all dogs boarded overnight would be
housed indoors, a measure intended to significantly reduce noise impacts on neighboring
properties.
The zoning ordinance requires a Type A opaque buffer between kennel operations and
nearby residential uses. Mr. Stewart explained that the property already contains substantial
existing vegetation along the eastern boundary and that the applicant would supplement with
evergreen plantings as needed to meet buffering requirements.
Within 300 feet of the proposed structure, staff identified one permitted dwelling (not yet
constructed) and no existing residences. Additional residences lie farther away, with several
hundred feet of separation and intervening vegetation.
Although Special Use Permits are not rezoning actions, Mr. Stewart addressed consistency
with the county’s adopted land use plan. He noted that the property lies within a transportation
corridor near I-85, where future non-residential and service-oriented uses are generally
anticipated. Old Union Church Road experiences significant traffic volumes and functions as a
connector in the area, making the proposed use compatible with surrounding development
patterns.
Staff received no objections, phone calls, or emails from the public regarding the request.
Notices were mailed to nearby property owners, and signage was posted on the site. The
applicant also communicated directly with adjacent landowners, none of whom expressed
opposition. The application included a professional real estate opinion from a licensed broker
concluding that the proposed expansion would not negatively impact surrounding property
values.
At 3:29 p.m. Chairman Edds opened the public hearing and closed it after no one wished to
speak.
On motion of Edds, seconded by Pierce, the Board voted 4-0 to approve the following three
Findings of Fact:
Page 5 of 10 03/02/26

[PAGE 6]
1. The development of the property in accordance with the proposed conditions will not
materially endanger the public health or safety;
• FACT: According to the staff report, a site inspection conducted by NCDOT
determined that the proposed driveway location is suitable for connection to Old
Union Church Road.
• FACT: According to the staff report, current and proposed kennel operations are
subject to annual licensure and periodic inspections with the Animal Welfare
section of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, ensuring compliance
with health and safety standards.
2. That the development of the property in accordance with the proposed conditions will
not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the
development is a public necessity;
• FACT: Licensed real estate agent Brianna Molina with Better Homes and
Gardens Real Estate submitted a letter stating that, in her review, the proposed
building would not negatively impact the market value of the referenced property.
3. That the location and character of the development in accordance with the proposed
conditions will be in general harmony with the area in which it is located and in
general conformity with any adopted county plans.
• FACT: Proposed plans comply with the three (3) special use requirements for
boarding kennel operations.
• FACT: According to the staff report, there is one (1) permitted dwelling and zero
(0) current dwellings within 300 feet of proposed building, which are currently or
will by ordinance requirement, adequately screened from the proposed building.
• FACT: According to the staff report, the property owners indicated all dogs
boarded overnight will be kept indoors, minimizing noise impacts.
• FACT: The land use plan recommends that properties along the I-85 corridor
and this segment of Old Union Church Road be generally designated for certain
commercial use – establishing a general expectation for future non-residential
uses in the area.
On motion of Pierce, seconded by Greene, the Board voted 4-0 to approve SUP 01-26.
Public Hearing: FY27 Rowan Transit System Fare Increase
Valerie Steele, Airport and Rowan Transit System Director, presented the proposal for a fare
increase for the Rowan Transit System (RTS). She shared that the fully allocated cost of
providing service now exceeds $4.25 per mile, while the current fare remains $2.00 per trip. The
Rowan Transit System Advisory Board (RTSAB) discussed the proposed increase on January
14, 2026, and approved a rise to $4.00 per trip by a full majority vote. This would make the
proposed FY27 rate $4.00 per trip for applicable clients.
The last fare increase occurred in 2015, when RTS was operated through a contract with MV
Transportation rather than as an in-house county department. It relied primarily on grant funding
with some county support. Prior to that change, only Share Ride clients paid the $2.00 fare;
Page 6 of 10 03/02/26

[PAGE 7]
following public meetings and advisory board/BOC approval, dialysis clients also began paying
$2.00 per trip starting in FY16, due to growing dialysis ridership and rising operational costs.
Under current grant programs, many clients ride fare-free: the 5310 Rural State program
(Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities) and HCCBG (for clients 60+)
prohibit fares for human service agencies and eligible seniors, while ROAP (Rural Operating
Assistance Program) requires no fares from human service agencies but maintains $2.00 per trip
for dialysis and Share Ride clients. ROAP rules stipulate that collected fares and local funds
must support additional services, helping stretch limited grant dollars and enable RTS to serve
more riders by slowing the expenditure of available funds.
Recent data showed challenges: in FY25, RTS provided 33,693 trips with operating expenses
over $1.5 million, but fares collected totaled only $7,042. Dialysis rural trips accounted for 4%,
dialysis urban for 5.6%, and Share Ride categories were minimal (under 1% combined). In
FY24, trips totaled 38,222 with expenses over $1.4 million and fares at $7,906, with similar
breakdowns (dialysis rural 3%, urban 5.1%, Share Ride under 0.1%).
The proposed doubling to $4.00 per trip aims to better align fares with actual service costs,
sustain operations, and support expanded service amid constrained funding, particularly for
paying client groups like dialysis and Share Ride users. The presentation included supporting
charts and visuals on ridership trends, expenses, and fare breakdowns to illustrate the financial
pressures driving the recommendation.
Ms. Steele clarified affected passengers and how payment works. There was general
discussion about the County’s expenses.
At 3:46 p.m. Chairman Edds opened the public hearing and closed it after no one wished to
speak.
On motion of Pierce, seconded by Greene, the Board voted 4-0 to table discussion on the fare
increase until the April 20, 2026, Regular Meeting.
Public Hearing: Proposed Revisions to Personnel Ordinance
Eli Hardin, Assistant County Attorney, said the County’s Personnel Ordinance, which has
not been comprehensively revised since 1983, is being updated to clarify outdated language and
align the ordinance with current County personnel policies and applicable North Carolina law.
The revisions primarily codify existing practices, clarify administrative authority and reporting
requirements, and ensure consistency between the ordinance and personnel policies adopted by
the Board of Commissioners.
At 3:54 p.m. Chairman Edds opened the public hearing and closed it after no one wished to
speak.
On motion of Pierce, seconded by Klusman, the Board voted 4-0 to approve the proposed
Personnel Ordinance revisions.

FY25 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Chief Finance Officer Anna Bumgarner introduced Kelly Gooderham, Senior Audit Manager
of Martin Starnes & Associates.
Ms. Gooderham stated that her firm conducted the audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and applicable governmental auditing requirements. She reported
that the County received a clean, unmodified opinion, which represents the highest level of
assurance an external auditor can provide and indicates that the financial statements fairly
present the County’s financial position in all material respects.
Ms. Gooderham began with an overview of General Fund activity, comparing Fiscal Year
2024 to Fiscal Year 2025. She reported that total General Fund revenues increased by
approximately $9.2 million, or 4.3%, while total expenditures increased by approximately $6.4
million, or 3.5%. She explained that the difference between revenue growth and expenditure
growth contributed positively to the County’s overall fund balance.
She then provided an overview of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
classifications of fund balance, explaining the five categories:
• Nonspendable
• Restricted
• Committed
• Assigned
• Unassigned
This classification framework helps determine how funds may be legally and practically
used. Ms. Gooderham reviewed a three-year comparison of the County’s General Fund balance,
noting that between FY 2023 and FY 2024, the General Fund increased by approximately $25.8
million. Between FY 2024 and FY 2025, it increased by approximately $23.7 million. These
increases reflected strong revenue performance, disciplined budgeting, and conservative fiscal
management.
Ms. Gooderham explained that the North Carolina Local Government Commission (LGC)
evaluates county financial health using a standardized metric known as available fund balance,
which excludes nonspendable amounts and statutory stabilization reserves.
For Fiscal Year 2025, Rowan County’s available fund balance totaled approximately $152
million, which she translated into a percentage of total expenditures. She noted that:
• The LGC minimum benchmark for a county of Rowan’s size is 16%
• Rowan County significantly exceeded that threshold and has shown steady improvement
over the past three years
Ms. Gooderham emphasized that this indicator reflects strong liquidity and fiscal resilience.
Turning to revenues, Ms. Gooderham reported that total General Fund revenues for FY 2025
were approximately $221.5 million. The three largest revenue sources were:
Page 8 of 10 03/02/26

[PAGE 9]
1. Property Taxes, which increased by approximately $3.5 million (3%), despite no increase
in the tax rate. She attributed this growth primarily to improved collections and increased
property values.
2. Local Option Sales Taxes, which increased by approximately $2.5 million (6%),
consistent with statewide trends.
3. Restricted Intergovernmental Revenues, including state and federal grants, which
increased by approximately $665,000 (2.7%), driven largely by federal funding.
Ms. Gooderham next reviewed the County’s top three General Fund expenditure categories,
noting total expenditures of approximately $190.3 million:
• Education, which increased by approximately $6.9 million (13.8%), largely due to
increased public school funding requirements.
• Public Safety, which decreased by approximately $5.9 million (11%), primarily because
large capital purchases made in FY 2024 did not recur in FY 2025.
• Human Services, which increased by approximately $1.7 million (4.9%), driven mainly
by salary and benefit increases for Department of Social Services employees, including
cost-of-living adjustments.
Ms. Gooderham then addressed the County’s major enterprise funds. She reported that the
Airport Fund ended the fiscal year with:
• Unrestricted net position of approximately $3.6 million
• Cash flow from operations of approximately $938,000
• Net income of approximately $3.8 million
• A quick ratio of 1.4, indicating adequate short-term liquidity
While the quick ratio had declined slightly, she noted that it remained above the LGC’s
general concern threshold of 1.0.
For the Landfill Fund, Ms. Gooderham reported:
• Unrestricted net position of approximately $7.2 million
• Cash flow from operations of approximately $3.2 million
• Net income of approximately $594,000
• A quick ratio of approximately 52, indicating extremely strong liquidity
Ms. Gooderham explained that her firm submits a Data Input Report to the LGC, which
generates financial performance indicators. She identified several positive indicators, including:
• Strong General Fund available fund balance
• Healthy enterprise fund liquidity
• Stable property tax valuation and collection rates
She also identified one indicator of concern required to be formally reported: an operating
loss in the Water Fund, as defined by LGC methodology. She explained that:
• The Water Fund reported an operating loss of approximately $173,000 in FY 2024
• This improved to approximately $90,000 in FY 2025
• Although improving, the fund remained in a negative position under LGC calculations
Page 9 of 10 03/02/26

[PAGE 10]
Ms. Gooderham stated that LGC rules require the governing board to submit a formal written
response within 60 days, acknowledging awareness of the issue and describing corrective actions
or plans.
There was general discussion regarding the Water Fund operating loss, noting that it relates
primarily to infrastructure and operational realities of the northern water system. Staff indicated
that efforts were ongoing to explore alternative operational arrangements, including coordination
with neighboring jurisdictions.
Ms. Gooderham clarified that the purpose of the required response is documentation of Board
awareness rather than immediate corrective action. County staff presented a draft response letter
for Board acknowledgment and signature. Ms. Gooderham concluded by reiterating that Rowan
County’s overall financial position remains strong and stable, with no material weaknesses
identified.

 Siting: All structures used to shelter animals and outdoor runs shall be 100’ from all property
lines. Outdoor runs shall be enclosed by a security fence 6 feet in height. According to plans
submitted, the enclosed portion of the structure would be 101 feet from the road right of way
and eastern property line while the outdoor play area would be approximately 116 feet and
160 feet respectively. While not indicated on the plan, the owner confirmed proposed fence
height would be at least six (6) foot, which, mimics a requirement of the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture (NCDA).
 Screening: All structures used to shelter animals and outdoor run areas shall be screened
from adjacent residentially zoned parcels. The owner proposes the retention of existing trees
along the eastern property line to comply with screening requirements. Should existing
vegetation be insufficient to comply with the Type A buffer requirements (six [6] foot opaque
fence or evergreen hedgerow), supplemental screening may be necessary.
ANIMAL WELFARE
Boarding kennels are subject to annual licensure and periodic facility
inspections by the Animal Welfare section of the NCDA. Camp Furry Friends
currently holds License No. 20874 (valid through June 30, 2025), authorizing a maximum capacity
of forty (40) dogs. At present, only fifteen (15) enclosures are currently provided. The proposed
facility is anticipated to be licensed at the same capacity. Animal Welfare Inspector Christie Shore
expressed no concerns regarding the facility, based on her most recent inspection and prior
working relationship with the owners.
The subject property is located in the Suburban and Transportation Corridor

In addition to meeting the above standards, the applicant must illustrate
EVALUATION CRITERIA:
they are able to comply with the following criteria. See applicant
SEC. 21-59
enclosed responses and staff comments in italics below:
1. Adequate transportation access to the site exists. The property has 309 feet of frontage
on Wildwood Rd. (SR 2204) and 681 feet along Old Union Church Rd. (SR 1915), the latter
of which is classified as minor thoroughfare. Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts
for 2025 collected west of Choate Rd. tallied 5,964 vehicle trips. Cabarrus Rowan
Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CRMPO) Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP)
suggest a design capacity of 13,600 vehicle trips.
A site inspection conducted by NCDOT determined that the proposed driveway location is
suitable for connection to Old Union Church Road. The new entrance location was favored
over the existing driveway due to improved site distance. Based on full kennel capacity,
staff estimates that the use would generate fewer than 100 AADT – a portion of which is
already captured with current site trips.
2. The use will not significantly detract from the character of the surrounding area. Current
operations are over 300 feet to the nearest property line, over 800 feet to the nearest
dwelling (other than the owners), and over 600 feet to Old Union Church Rd. The new
facility would be located approximately 100 feet from the right of way behind the
proposed parking lot. The closest existing dwelling is located across the street (2285) on
a wooded ten (10) acre tract approximately 230 feet from the right of way. Building
permit number RES-11-25-13163 was issued on November 25, 2025 for a new dwelling
(2310) east of the proposed structure.
Lots in the general vicinity typically have soil suitability limitations for on-site septic
systems. On average, lots tend to be eight (8) or more acres and have a lot depth of 700
or more feet.
The proposed new dwelling at 2310 would have the most direct visibility of the new
facility. Visual impacts should be reduced by the separation distance between structures,
as well as, the retention of existing vegetation and installation of supplemental

landscaping. Owners have shared images of an example building they may present at the
hearing as a self-imposed condition to address this criterion.
3. Hazardous safety conditions will not result. None envisioned. The use will be subject to
NCDOT driveway permitting standards for adequate access and NCDA fencing standards
for animal confinement.
4. The use will not generate significant noise, odor, glare, or dust. Glare and dust should not
be an issue. According to the property owner, dogs will use the covered outdoor play area
in scheduled shifts of no more than four (4) dogs at a time. Outdoor areas are cleaned
daily. All overnight boardings dogs will be housed indoors, which is expected to mitigate
potential nighttime noise impacts. Leashed dog walks throughout the 40+ acre property
are currently offered as part of the facility’s services and will continue as an amenity.
5. Excessive traffic or parking problems will not result. While the site plan references
eighteen (18) parking spaces, the final number will be less based on use and operation
details. Adequate area is proposed within the parking lot to prevent queuing onto Old
Union Church Rd. and to allow internal vehicle movements to occur without backing out
onto the road.
6. Use will not create significant visual impacts for adjoining properties or passersby. Old
Union Church Rd. frontage in the immediate vicinity is heavily wooded from the Crane
Creek floodplain area (2000 block) to the 2500 block. Most improvements within this area
are located at least a couple hundred feet from the road behind existing tree coverage.
As referenced in Criterion #2, building appearance standards may be considered, if
necessary, to address visual impact concerns. Retention of existing mature trees east of
the proposed building exceed the Type A buffer requirement. While the specifics are not
included herein, owners have expressed interest in further buffer and landscaping
enhancements around the facility should additional assurances be necessary to address
this criterion.
The BoC must adopt facts supporting the below findings of fact based on
FINDINGS OF FACT
the above six (6) criteria:
1. The development of the property in accordance with the proposed conditions will not
materially endanger the public health or safety.
2. That the development of the property in accordance with the proposed conditions will

not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the
development is a public necessity.
3. That the location and character of the development in accordance with the proposed
conditions will be in general harmony with the area in which it is located and in general
conformity with any adopted county plans.

various kennel operations were likely minimally
noticeable to adjoining landowners. The proposed facility represents a shift in the consolidation
of operations shifting to the roadside. Additionally, the building’s appearance and surrounding
landscaping could be enhanced, if necessary, to further mitigate visual impacts and improve
compatibility with the surrounding area.

Descrip(cid:415)on of Business Opera(cid:415)ons
Camp Furry Friends of 2230 Old Union Church Road is a licensed dog boarding, daycare
and grooming facility through the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. The appeal of the
facility is in the constant supervision the dogs receive, individual a(cid:425)en(cid:415)on given to the dogs for
8 hours of the day, daily photo updates of each dog directly to the customers, and individual
leash walks to the water every day. The rooms are cleaned and sani(cid:415)zed throughout the day,
with detailed sani(cid:415)za(cid:415)on occurring twice daily, in accordance with NCDA regula(cid:415)ons. The
current number of accomoda(cid:415)ons (kennels/runs) is 15, with one larger “daycare” room. The
facility operates out of two separate buildings and includes leash walks around the 49-acre
facility including the 2-acre pond.

Sec. 21-59
(1) Adequate transportation access to the site exists;
The current driveway is on Old Union Church Road. As of January 7, 2026, we have
spoken with Greg Crowell and Tyler Wooten from the NCDOT about applying for a
Driveway Permit for a secondary location for the driveway. The proposed parking lot
will have multiple routes to safely enter and exit the facility.
(2) The use will not significantly detract from the character of the surrounding area.
The property is maintained on a daily basis and kept clean, neat and professional. The
adjacent land (Parcel # 055 008) was purchased in July 2021.
(3) Hazardous safety conditions will not result;
Dogs are kept in designated areas and on leashes when walked. Adequate ventilation and
septic systems have been planned or were already in place.
(4) The use will not generate significant noise, odor, glare, or dust;
Typical operating hours for pick-up and drop-off are:
Monday – Friday (Dog Daycare and Dog Boarding)
6:30am to 10:30am
2:00pm to 6:00pm
Saturday (Dog Boarding Customers Only)
8:00am to 11:00am
Sunday (Dog Boarding Customers Only)
5:00pm to 6:00pm
The property is otherwise quiet and occupied as a personal residence; no neighbors have
ever complained of noise or other interruptions. The room will be cleaned and
disinfected multiple times, daily. The building will have a matte metal finish, with a
standard matte metal roof, so there will not be a glare.

(5) Excessive traffic or parking problems will not result;
We spoke with Eric Goldston at the NCDOT on 7/30/2021 who said a permit is not
required for our small business. We average 5-7 customers in the morning hours and 5-7
in the afternoon daily, and there is sufficient paved concrete for customers to park, drive
and turn around on currently.
Thew new building will replace all existing structures and operations for the purpose of
housing boarding and daycare dogs. There will not be additional traffic volume once
construction is complete. Included in the site plan is a proposed parking lot measuring
110’ x 80’ and will include 18 spaces, including the handicapped spot and three aisles to
turn around in; the lot will have an entrance and an exit.
(6) The use will not create significant visual impacts for adjoining properties or
passersby.
The one wooded parcel of adjacent land that would be able to see the facility (Parcel 055
009) overlooks the pond and has a distant view of the Main Kennel/Residence, which is
kept clean and maintained on a daily basis and complies with all NC Department of
Agriculture regulations and protocols. Parcel 055 009 was recently purchased by Robert
Grignon for a single family home, but no home exists at this time. The only
improvement to the land is a gravel driveway at this time.
The neighbor across the road at Parcel 054B 004 is owned by our acquaintance and
neighbor, Dale Lakey, who has single family residence backed behind a wooded area on
a 10-acre parcel.
