Lawing re-elected,
board to vote on
Faunce rezoning Jan. 13
Doug Lawing was
re-elected chairman and
Jim Potter was re-elected
vice-chairman of the Kings
Mountain Planning &
Zoning board at the recent
meeting.
Steve Killian, Planning
and Economic Develop-
ment Director for the City
of Kings Mountain, was
appointed secretary.
The only business of the
December meeting was a
progress report from devel-
oper David Faunce who is
seeking to expand the area
of Faunce Properties, Inc.
located at 813 W. King
Street, 809 W. King Street
and 811 W. King Street and
rezoning it for conditional
use office. He reported
on a meeting with West
Kings Mountain property
owners, reiterating that
the site for the proposed
construction is away from
West Mountain Street and
close to West King Street
to minimize the impact on
Mountain Street’s histor-
ical district. No access is
proposed to West Moun-
tain Street.
The site was surveyed
by Ledford & West and
designed by landscape ar-
chitect Fred Blackley. Mr.
Blackley and several resi-
dents of the West Mountain
Street Neighborhood were
present for the meeting.
Faunce said the pro-
posed construction would
be on a heavily traveled
corner lot (intersection of
Phifer Road and West King
Street) that is suitable for
business more so than for
residential use. The plan
includes two driveways ap-
proved by NCDOT. Ingress
and egress off Mountain
Street would not be permit-
ted so as to honor a request
from the neighborhood.
In his application for
rezoning, Faunce said the
siting of the buildings pre-
venting ingress and egress
off West Mountain, and

heavy landscape buffer-
ing on the West Mountain
Street side and east side to
the property (that will re-
main zoned for a residen-
tial use) creates a business
property use harmonious
with the existing residential
uses in the adjoining neigh-
borhood.
The first building of
8,000 square feet would be
a maximum height of 25
feet above the curb point of
Mountain Street. Buffering -
and landscaping would be
on the front, rear and side
yards of the building, ac-
cording to the application.
he planning board will
make its recommendation
for or against the rezoning
of the properties at the Jan.
13, 2015 meeting at city
hall.
Kings Mountain City
Council has the final say on
rezoning and will consider
the request at the Jan. 27.
2015 meeting at 6 p.m. at
city hall.

The Story: The Futrelle
Sisters—Frankie, Twink,
Honey Raye and Rhonda
Lynn—are in trouble again.
This time, the problem is
bigger than ever: Their be-
loved hometown, Fayro,
Texas, is in danger of dis-
appearing, and it’s up to
the sisters to save it from
extinction. Ever since the
Super SmartMart and the
rendering plant closed, folks
have been leaving Fayro in
droves, but Honey Raye,
with a major assist from
her former nemesis, Geneva
Musgrave, has come up
with a possible solution.
It seems a salsa manu-
facturing factory is looking
to relocate, and a company
representative is headed to
Fayro on a scouting mis-
sion. Honey Raye, as the
president of the Chamber
of Commerce, makes prom-
ises that are not to be be-
lieved in order to woo the
rep to choose Fayro. In fact,
Honey Raye has told them
that on the very weekend of
the rep’s visit, the town just
happens to be having. their
biggest celebration of the
year: “Fayro Days,” which
includes a craft show, a pet
costume parade, a beauty
pageant and a huge Civil
War battle reenactment.
So now it’s up to the cit-
izens of Fayro to quickly
make her promises a real-
ity. The biggest hurdle to
impressing the salsa repre-
sentative is staging a Civil
War battle reenactment with
only 15 participants, Added
to this is the dilemma of
Twink being so desperate to

get married that she’s practi-
cally dragging the unwilling
groom, Deputy John Curtis
Buntner, to the altar. But
this pales next to the finan-
cial problems the preacher
and his wife are having—

Frankie, however, seems
to have it worst of all, what
with her husband, Dub,
going through a major mid-
life crisis at the same time
her five-year-old twins are
literally tearing up the town.
And unfortunately for all of
them, the “meanest woman
in twelve counties,” Dub’s
wicked, old Aunt Iney, is on
her way for a visit.
Iney’s arrival in Fayro is
definitely cause for alarm
for the sisters; but it’s noth-
ing compared to their panic
when the old girl drops dead
in the Dubberly home just
before the salsa rep shows

ters and the other citizens of '

ple Raynerd Chisum, pull
together and save their town
is a testament to Southern
strength and ingenuity—and
a recipe for total hilarity.

opportunity to sponsor a child
in extreme poverty and even
danger.
Nearly 1 in 5 people sur-
vive on less than $1.25 a day.
The poor spend most of their
money (up to 80 percent of
it) on food. How do they pay -
for shelter, school, healthcare,
and clothes with what’s left?
They don’t.*
