BRYMER Staff Writer ; + A residential community following the “new urbanization” model may come to Kings Mountain. + During a Tuesday afternoon meeting, real- tor David Faunce asked the planning and zoning board to rezone a parcel on East Gold Street from light industrial to Residential-Six. The board voted to table the request until Faunce could provide more information. = The new urbanization model calls for ‘homes on very small lots. Living rooms are in the front of the home. Typically sidewalks are built on both sides of the street. The design encourages contact between neigh- bors. The Birkdale community in Huntersville follows the model. Homes would cost around $120,000. Town homes and condominiums were also dis- cussed. Board members expressed concern about the site being located so close to mining operations. Drainage issues and wildlife habitat also came up. One nearby resident.questioned how the increased traffic would affect her home. Board Chairman Jim Childers excused himself, saying his business hopes to do work on Faunce’s proposed project. In other business, the board unanimously elected David Allen as its vice-chairperson. The board unanimously denied a rezon- ing request by Donna McNamara. She had asked for property to be rezoned from Residential-10 to neighborhood business.

Shelby Eye Centers using Crystalens Shelby Eye Centers was recently approved to begin using a revolutionary new replacement lens called Crystalens. They are the first practice in the region able to offer this new technology and are now screening potential patients. Qualified patients are ide- ally, active adults in their 50's to mid 60’s with a small amount of cataract forma- tion. Also, those who have had some type of corneal refractive surgery such as LASIK are acceptable candi- dates. Dr. Steven Bailey of Shelby Eye Centers cautions that patients have realistic expectations. “There is a period of retraining of the eye muscles involved and good close-up vision is not necessarily present immedi- ately,” he said. “Studies have shown that with Crystalens, vision continues to improve over time. Most patients are able to see well enough to get their driver's license without restrictions. However, some patients may still need weak pow- ered glasses for reading an the very smallest print.
