Call to Order

The meeting was called to order at 3:30 pm by Chairman Richard DeMott.

Also in was Zoning Administrator Don Fulkerson. Town Clerk Karen Daniels recorded the minutes.

Preliminary Conference for the Application of Ken Canter for a Conditional Use Permit for an eight-unit condominium complex at the Inn at Hawk's Peak, 1267 Seven Devils Road (for action at the Regular Meeting, March 26, 2007)

Ken Canter introduced himself as a managing member of Canter Properties, Greensboro, North Carolina. He stated the Inn is currently a restaurant, lounge and office on the first floor and fifteen individually owned condominiums on the second floor. He presented a preliminary plan from Canter Properties for gutting the Inn at Hawk's Peak and remodeling it into eight condominiums. He stated Canter Properties looks for projects from one million but under five million dollars. They are proposing to spend approximately 1.7 million dollars and sell the condominiums for approximately $400,000.00 each.

The Zoning Administrator stated that current use of the property is nonconforming because the density exceeds Zoning Ordinance allowance. If the density is reduced from the current fifteen (15) units to eight (8) and if the land calculation include property and parking easements, the results would be within current Zoning Ordinance requirements.

Ken Canter stated once the building is completed there will be a homeowner's association. He then gave an invitation to the Board of Adjustment members to tour the inn after the meeting.

Chairman DeMott stated the Board of Adjustment will be meeting again to act on this on Monday, March 26^th at 5:30 p.m.

Adjourn

There being no other matters to be taken up at this time, the Chairman asked for a motion to adjourn. Loren Williams made a motion for the Board to adjourn. Chairman DeMott seconded the motion. The members agreed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 3:50 p.m.
