ff12 wrote: What about property owners rights?
Should their rights be trampled on because someone wants to have a view?
FF12 : Consider that when anybody buys or has a parcel of land, the zoning conveys a given set of rights. Like a stream or any other land feature, the existing zoning figures in the value of the land. There is no individual "right" to change the zoning to allow Jim's nuke plant or my hog farm or your haz waste dump unless the land use plan (zoning)already allows it.
When the town council rezones a parcel of land say, to highway business from ag, that action greatly increases the lands value. That increase in value is taken from those people (the rest of the town) that enjoy the current land use and the uses already allowed.
The whole reason for the zoning change process is to allow land use that benefits the town as a whole. It is not for the best price the owner can get.

| Well said "onthefence" Money is such a motivating force in this country that we are selling ourselves down the river. Once the land is so desecrated by mindless building, you live with it for eternity. Praise the almighty dollar in the United States. Not to go off on a tangent, but the greed in this country will definitely be our downfall. Unfortunately, the downfall has already started. Get your heads out of the ground!

 Thanks for the heads up! I have been communicating with the powers to be to try to have our Post Office moved to one of the available store fronts proposed for that site. As usual, it falls on deaf ears. Why, I don't know. Relatives of mine live in a little town called Chadbourn, NC and you could fit our Post Office in the confines of their more modern edifice. I gave them some good documentation, but I imagine it ended up in the office shredder. I have not given up yet!

If a farmer has farmed his land for 40 years and is now retired and needs the money for his retirement should he not be able to get the best price for it? Maybe the people who fight every rezoning case that comes up should get together and buy the land when it is available.
My point may get lost in rambling, but at what point do the property rights of the longtime landowners get trumped by the people who have their acre of land.
Maybe Stokesdale needs to establish a conservation easement where they pay landowners not to develop their land but they can get paid for it and retain ownership without being taxed out of their longtime home and livelihood.
I still do not want a Dollar General, just another place that sells cheap Chinese junk.

Yes I will concede that I do not know of any that have not ultimately had their land rezoned, but there have been some that have taken most of a year.
I guess I am just thinking about the future. Their needs to be a balance, it seems most people are way to the extreme either way.
I cannot afford any farmland, maybe the nice couple that owns the 800 acres needs could buy more.
