Public Comment Ms. Barbara Johnson Minutes continued from October 7, 2019 5163 Ms. Johnson began telling the Board about a traffic issue in her subdivision. When she gave the location, Raeford Village, located in the City Limits, Chairman Leach advised her that she was in the wrong meeting and should be at the City Council meeting. Mr. Anthony Reese 370 Creek Farm Road Parkton, NC 28371 Mr. Reese explained to the Board that he has been trying to get high-speed Internet to his home for some time now with no success. A representative from Century Link told Mr. Reese that Century Link has fiber optic cable in the area, but it hasn't been connected to the box. Spectrum has cable on the other side of the road, but it isn't available to residents on Mr. Reese's side of the road. Mr. Reese is also concerned about the traffic at the intersection of Everitt Road and Arabia Road in the Davis Bridge area. Traffic backs up at that intersection causing significant delays for residents in the area. Mr. Victor Wooten Mr. Wooten advised the Board that he has the same concerns that Mr. Reese just voiced. Ms. Jen Kakerbeck Ms. Kakerbeck is the troop leader of local Girl Scout Troop 1077. She is concerned about the condition of Rockfish Park. Her troop is volunteering to do some improvements to the park. They want to plant a garden with drought-resistant plants, restore birdhouses and paint the restrooms. There will be no compensation for the improvements; this activity will work towards their required volunteer hours and achieving their badges. 3. Public Hearings: Planning Matters a. Application for Conditional Use Permit CU-19-6 submitted by Alfred Winfield and Felicia Doyle for the use of "Restaurant with Drive-Thru 11 located on the approximately 1.93 acre parcel located at 15755 Highway 15-501, also known as Parcel Identification Number (PIN) 584670001044.

There will be no seating area in the building; customers must ~ drive up or walk up. · Minutes continued from October 7, 2019 5164 County Attorney Grady Hunt noted that the owner of the property is Christsway Community Church.
