ar
KM family
to get
home from Habitat
When Esther Davis and her fam-
ily move out of Chesterfield
Apartments this summer they will
occupy the third house built in
Kings Mountain by Habitat for
Humanity.
But Mayor Scott Neisler, who is
co-chairman with Wilfred Smith of
Cleveland County's Habitat for
Humanity, says more homes are
needed.
"I'd like for the communities of
Shelby and Kings Mountain to run
a contest, a build-a-thon to see who’
can build the most homes for peo-
ple who need them," said Neisler,
who said that Habitat volunteers
and the Davises will build a new
three-bedroom home on Cook
Circle on city-donated property.
Two Habitat homes are current-
ly occupied on Tracy Street in
Kings Mountain which brings the
total to six in Cleveland County.
Neisler said that the Habitat
board met Sunday after interview-
ing applicants and chose the Kings
Mountain family, which includes
four children and a grandchild who
are now residing in Chesterfield
Apartments on Margrace Road.
The mayor said the applicant
met strict income requirements.
The applicant must be employed,
must have an income of at least
four times greater than the average
$150 house payment for a Habitat
home but no more than seven times
greater.
"It's really a matter of the situa-
tion the person is in," said Neisler.
Neisler estimated that the house
can be built for $25,000, although
the most recent homes were built
for about $19,000, he said.
"Moneywise we are in good
shape to get started on the new
Habitat house as soon as the
weather shapes up," he said.

~The new home will be in keep-
ing with the current neighborhood,
a stipulation of City Council when
it approved the lot recently. “The
house will: be of brick veneer and
will probably include the addition
of a carport. -
Neisler estimated that construc-
tion could start by early spring,
weather permitting, and that the
new home owners may be able to
move in'by early summer.
The mayor has been a longtime
‘supporter: of Habitat. and has helped
build: the Cleveland County homes
and was instrumental in getting the
city properties for Habitat.
City officials wanted to donate
the property .outright but because: it
was city owned-the. parcels had to
be ‘advertised on the open market
for 10 days.
City Council had picked: two
parcels but during the process
learned one of the parcels had been
purchased by Hubert Toney about
two weeks before the donation was
made. The city then selected the
Cook Circle property and started
the donation process again.
Councilman Phil Hager proposed
stipulations to the agreement which
other members of Council support-
ed. In order to preserve property
values iin the Cook Circle neigh-
borhood the home must be at least
1,000 square feet with a carport at-
tached.
The entire structure would also
have to be brick veneered to blend
in with other homes in the area.
Neisler and Smith had planned a
-build-a-thon between Habitat vol-
unteers from Shelby and Kings
Mountain. A lack of funds and.a
shortage of qualified applicants
postponed those plans temporarily,
said the mayor.
