Board Chairman Doyle Campbell and Supt. Bob McRae said any business would cause a disruption to the school class. "We're not here to oppose Mr. Reynolds and we appreciate his efforts to clean up his property," said Campbell. Harvey Hullender suggested the board of education make Reynolds an offer for the property and use the site for a parking area, which Hullender said is badly Clayvon Kelly, who also spoke against the rezoning, said Lynn Street is the only entrance to the East School playground. "Kids lives are worth more than the taxes the city would receive," he said. Griffin pointed out that the board is trying to get a handle on upgrading zoning ordinances and David Faunce suggested that some attention be given to buffer zones at schools to keep down noise. "This oc- currence brings out the point that things change and neighborhoods change with businesses where resi- dences once were. It also points out how broad our vocabulary is in defining zoning and how much more difficult it is than 75 years ago when East School went up.” Campbell told the dozen people present that "East School is here to stay. We're investing $1 million to needed. The following activities have been announced by the Kings Mountain Parks and Recreation Department.

"If you make a good faith effort to meet the deadlines you can still hold the election,” Wood told the council. However, the city would also be running the risk of a chal- lenge and having the election ruled "null and void." Wood pointed out that if the re- districting deadlines are not met and the election is postponed, it would be held along with the coun- ty's first and second primary elec- tions in May and June of 1992. Persons elected would take office no later than July, 1992. "This is a very complicated pro- cess," he told the council.

Wood and city councilmen pointed out that the Justice Department will be "bombarded" with redistricting proposals. North Carolina has some 55 cities that must redistrict, and that figure will be multiplied many times over in other states. Wood said under "normal proce- dure” if the Justice Department does not rule on the city's plan in 60 days, it is considered "automati- cally" approved. "But," he said. "some Congressman could intro- duce legislation to change that. Then if it's not approved you have to go back through redistricting or be willing to challenge that ruling in court."
