P&Z Board delays action on developer's requests
After nearly three hours
Tuesday night at City Hall, de-
veloper Mike Brown went away
without answers from the
Planning and Zoning Board.
The board delayed action un-
til August on Brown's proposed
modification to waive the city's
subdivision requirements on
public street standards.
"My daughter's getting mar-
ried in February and I want to
build her a house and I can't get
a city building permit," said
Brown.
Brown says he'll pay for
paving if the city will accept

The Davidson High School
Alumni Association will: hold
its annual reunion July 18 and
20.
A dinner is planned for July
18 at 7 p.m. at Loui's Restaurant
on East King Street.
Sunday, July 20 at 3 p.m., a
program will be held at Mt.
Zion Baptist Church.
The guest speaker will be
Elder Samuel W. Jordan of
Charlotte. Accompanying him
will be the "Twins" and The
Berean Inspirational Youth
Choir, both of Charlotte.
the road for maintenance.
"I'm not going to pave the
road and keep it up too and nei- -
ther the city or state will accept
it," he said..
Lou Ballew said she under-
stands Brown's dilemma and
asked if it was actually a drive-
way he needed to reach two
houses he plans to build in the
Chestnut Ridge subdivision for
a married son and his daughter
and a soon-to-be married
daughter and her fiancee.
Brown says he has developed
other properties in the city lim-
its where streets are not up to
standard.
"People living in this subdivi-
sion have no complaints about
the dust," he said.
Brown says he intends to
keep his property in the family
and no one else will be building
on his property but his children
and grandchildren.
Brown said he developed his
first subdivision in the city's
one mile perimeter years ago. 'I
was learning and I made some
mistakes but the city should
never have approved a build-
ing permit."
Brown maintained that he
should be permitted to have a
private road and pave about 10
feet so that his family and fire
vehicles could get into the prop-
erty. ;
"If I have to maintain that
road I feel I should keep it up
the way I see fit," he told the
board. :
Jim Childers questioned what
should happen if the city an-
nexed the property at some fu-
ture time.
"Do we have the authority to
change that subdivision?" he
asked. "We're obligating a fu-
. ture council for these streets
and who pays for the mainte-
nance, the city or the state?"
John Houze suggested that
the board consider allowing
Brown to maintain a private
road but keep the right-of-way
intact as a measure of protec-
tion for property owners.
"It's all very confusing," said
Lou Ballew, who suggested the
best policy for Brown was to
pave the street so that he could
get his permit and start build-
ing.
"If it was up to me I'd let you
truck on down that road," she
said. :

"We're really opening a can of

Brown disagreed.
"I was directed by the city to
