"Are you going to let 17 trees
block a $3 million project,” he
asked.
Colburn said Ingles does not
want to focus on the number of
trees. He insisted that the ordi-
nance that was in place at the
time governed the whole pro-
cess.
Councilman Jerry Mullinax
said the new market would
bring in $40,000 a year in city
taxes. "We're overlooking a $3
million dollar business if we
don't amend this ordinance."
Colburn said that filing of the
application was a vested right
of the company and that Ingles
should be grandfathered under
the old ordinance but the city's
attorney Mickey Corry dis-
agreed with his interpretation
of vested rights.
Colburn said that during the
process of putting together the
ordinance that Ingles incorpo-
rated over 200 trees in various
portions of the project. "Your
staff did not consider our sug-
gestions," he said.
"] get a rise when you say we
didn't listen to you," said
Mayor Scott Neisler. He said
Ingles got a variance on their
signs and it was Ingles choice to
wait until after the new ordi-
‘nance was in place. The mayor
said Ingles knew the new regu-
lations were coming.
"The city is taking a bad rap.
We're Ingles friends and due
process was served."
Colburn offered to sit down
with city staff and "figure out a
way to do the project and incor-
porate the trees in it."
"I think we can get this pro-
ject off the ground with the
city's help," he said.
Rome said he thought the

Kings Mountain, Ray Ledford
told the Kings Mountain City
Council Tuesday night.
Mayor Scott Neisler and City
Manager Jimmy Maney said
they would write letters of sup-
port for a clinic and encourage
other citizens to do so. -
Ledford said 22-24:local citi-
zens travel as far as 30 miles
daily and often eight or nine
~ hours for for three to four hours
of treatment.
Ledford said a Charlotte firm
had offered to build and oper-
ate a Kings Mountain Clinic if it
can receive a Certificate of

new ordinance was not ex-
plained or fully understood in
earlier negotiations between the
city staff and Ingles.
"I don't see it as a weakness
in the ordinance or a reflection
on elected officials for you to be
fair in conflict and bend on this
issue," he said. :
Gold Run residents Phil
Bouchard and Reg Alexande
urged Council to maintain its
stance in sticking with the rules
outlined in the new ordinance.
"Twenty nine people served
on this ordinance committee
and you have been fair," said
Bouchard.
Alexander, who is building a
new business downtown, said
he wanted to see the same regu-
lations applied to all develop-
ers.
"One little niche in our
blueprint cost my family $8,000
and we were willing to pay be-
cause we wanted to go with the
new ordinance and to see new
things for the city," he said.
"This is a power play by
Ingles to get what they want,"
said Alexander.
"We are talking about a
retroactive grandfather clause,
land not purchased and grant
applications not filed. Kings
Mountain is already committed
to Ingles and has a lot to risk
and Ingles is not committed to
Kings Mountain. Mrs. Scism is
being taken for a ride," he said.
The vote was 7-0 to send the
amendment request back to the
zoning board.
"We're not satisfied with the
board's decision tonight but we
looking forward to coming to
Kings Mountain and the city
staff working with us," said
Colburn. Since the Council has
directed staff to work with us
on the negotiations we feel they
will be open with us and we
can move ahead."

Laser Vision Treatment For
Nearsightedness
Sure, it's convenient to get a new pair of glasses in
about an hour. But wouldn't it be a lot more
convenient not to have to order, clean, fix or wear
glasses or contacts? Now you might not have to.
Laser vision treatment, also known as
photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), is an effective
procedure that has improved the vision of close to
one million nearsighted people worldwide since
1987. Typical patients are able to drive or play sports
without glasses or contacts after treatment.
Don’t wait another hour! Call the Shelby Eye
Center for additional information. Or make an
appointment with Dr. Thomas D. Bailey or
Dr. Stephen J. Bogan to learn if you're a candidate
for laser vision treament.
