OLD BUSINESS:
ZONING ORDINANCE PERTAINING TO NONCONFORMING AND
ACCESSORY USES:
Assistant County Manager, Sybil Tate stated at the Board’s April 1, 2013
meeting, the Board approved changes to 101-2 and decided to make no changes to 102-1
of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board instructed staff to gather information from other
counties regarding zoning regulations of accessory units. Ms. Tate noted the Board
discussed the option of allowing accessory structures to be located five feet from any
property line – front, side and rear and requested management to bring back
recommendations for sections 60-5 and 60-6.
Ms. Tate highlighted a chart comparing Person County’s existing accessory use
regulations and the proposed changes to the accessory use regulations from the Planning
Board with other counties noting at the bottom of the table, staff has listed the least
restrictive options from any of the ordinances reviewed.
Ms. Tate recommended all of the least restrictive options, except the setback
requirement for accessory structures located in the front yard. Instead, staff recommends
decreasing the setback requirement to 25feet from front property lines and increasing the
requirement to 40feet for properties on NC and US highways. The Person County Zoning
Ordinance requires a 40foot setback for dwellings on NC and US highways and a 25foot
setback from other right-of-ways.

It was the consensus of the Board to consider adopting the least restrictive accessory use
language as outlined below as presented by Ms. Tate:
i. 60-5. Unless otherwise specified in this ordinance, accessory buildings
may be allowed within five feet of rear and side yard lot lines. provided
they are five feet or more from the main structure.
ii. 60-6. Unless otherwise specified in this ordinance, every principal
building hereafter erected or moved shall be located on a separate lot and
in no case shall there be more than one principal building and three
permitted accessory buildings on all lots under three acres. There shall be
allowed one additional accessory building for every acre over three acres.
Industrial operations located in the GI district shall be exempted from this
provision.
iii. 60-6A. Accessory structures may be placed in the front yard, if at least
25ft from the front property line. For lots located on NC and US
highways, accessory structures may be placed in the front yard, if at least
40 feet from the front property line.

Chairman Clayton expressed his desire for existing structures to be grandfathered
for compliance versus situations arising where a parcel was split and an existing structure
would not meet the ordinance requirements.
County Attorney, Ron Aycock noted language could be added to the ordinance
specifying uses to be grandfathered.
It was the consensus of the Board for the County Attorney to propose language
for inclusion in the Zoning Ordinance related to existing structures.
Commissioner Blalock raised concerns that section 101-7(b) mandating a
deadline for restoration to begin and be completed. Ms. Tate suggested item b to read: If
the use is a one-family dwelling, restoration shall be permitted.
101-7 A nonconforming structure or a conforming structure devoted to a
nonconforming activity that is damaged by any casualty to an extent
more than 60 percent of its assessed value, based on County Tax
Assessor records, shall not be restored except as follows:
a. As a conforming use.
b. If the use is a one-family dwelling, restoration shall be
permitted, provided such restoration is begun within six
months of the casualty and completed within 24 months of the
casualty.
c. For structures except a one family dwelling, restoration of a
nonconforming structure shall require approval by the Board of
Adjustment. A site plan according to Section 80 will be
required. In approving such permit, the Board will consider the
stated purpose for establishing the zoning district in which the
structure is located, the uses in the area immediately
surrounding the structure in question, particularly the other
nonconforming uses, and the hardship which would result from
a denial of the Conditional Use Permit. The permit shall
include conditions as to time for repair to be completed and
any other conditions deemed necessary to carry out the intent
of this section of the ordinance.
Ms. Tate stated she would incorporate the changes as requested by the
Board as well as obtain proposed language from the County Attorney related to
existing structures to bring back in final form for the Board’s consideration for
approval.

NEW BUSINESS:
COUNTY EMPLOYEE HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN FOR FY13-14:
County Manager, Heidi York stated each year the County’s Human Resources
Department works through Thompson-Allen Insurance of Roxboro and new to the county
this year is Scott Benefit Services from Raleigh acting as the county’s brokers to
determine an employee benefits plan which is fiscally feasible and addresses the needs of
the county’s workforce. Ms. York stated the process takes many months of negotiating
noting the County currently spends approximately $2,461,193 on employee health
benefits per year.
Ms. York explained the NC League of Municipalities has welcomed counties to
participate in their insurance pool this year. The Human Resources Department sought a
quote from the League to determine its competitiveness with the proposals through
Thompson-Allen and Scott Benefit Services. Ms. York stated the League’s proposal
addresses the priorities of the workforce and would allow Person County to begin
transitioning to a self-funded benefits program, which the majority of NC cities and
counties are now moving toward, without becoming fully self-funded. Ms. York noted
staff has created a partially self-funded plan which keeps control of escalating benefits
costs. Ms. York stated the City of Roxboro is adopting a very similar plan with the
League as well. In addition the League will provide wellness benefits to employees that
are aimed at reducing employees’ overall medical costs and in turn, reducing the county’s
insurance claim rates.
Ms. York stated Mr. Phillip Allen of Thompson-Allen Insurance and Mr. Bryan
Bickley of Scott Benefit Services has requested to present their recommended plan to the
Board. Ms. York stated she offered the same opportunity to the League of Municipalities
to which they have representatives available to present their plan to the Board as well.
Ms. York asked the Board to receive the presentations and set the employees’
benefits plan for FY13-14.
Mr. Phillip Allen of Thompson-Allen Insurance, Mr. Bryan Bickley of Scott
Benefit Services and Mr. Baker Freiberg of Coventry Health Care of the Carolinas
presented the following health benefits plan to the Board:

Ms. York asked Mr. Freiberg if the recent acquisition by Aetna of Coventry
would impact any changes in the health benefits plan. Mr. Freiberg assured the group the
two organizations would create a better dynamic with minimal changes seen in the next
two-three years.
Human Resources Director, Angie Warren introduced the representatives in
attendance on behalf of the NC League of Municipalities: Mr. Bob Haynes, Associate
Director Risk Management Services, Mr. John Phillips, Vice President, Business
Development, Medcost, Ms. Julie Hall, NC League Director of Health Programs and Ms.
Angela Greene, NC League Member Services Field Consultant.

Director outlining the City of Hendersonville’s experience with the NC League of
Municipalities’ health insurance program.
May 20, 2013

Ms. Warren highlighted comparisons of the two benefit plans presented for the
Board’s review. It was noted the Wellpath/Coventry plan had been changed slightly
since its initial submission to the County for consideration thereby making the
comparisons inaccurate.

Commissioner Blalock requested consideration to have this item placed upon the
meeting agenda for May 28, 2013. Ms. York commented on the stringent deadline to
have the enrollment meetings for employees to complete the insurance forms and submit
to staff for entry into the accounting software prior to the June payroll.
A motion was made by Commissioner Newell, and carried 5-0 to select
Wellpath/Coventry as Person County’s group health benefits plan as presented by Phillip
Allen of Thompson-Allen Insurance of Roxboro and Bryan Bickley of Scott Benefit
Services of Raleigh.
Chairman Clayton announced a brief recess at 11:04 am. The meeting was
reconvened at 11:10 am.
KERR-TAR REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS’ REQUEST FOR A
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT:
County Manager, Heidi York stated the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of
Governments (COG) is requesting a one-time special assessment of all member
governments. The request is for each member government to pay an additional $1.39 per
capita contribution to the COG before May 31, 2013. For Person County, this amounts to
$43,232. Ms. York clarified this special assessment request is in additional to the annual
dues paid to the COG which is just under $15,000. Ms. York noted the intent of the COG
to reduce member dues over a period of time to repay each jurisdiction incrementally the
amount of the special assessment requested.
Ms. Diane Cox, the Interim Executive Director for the COG presented the request
on behalf of the COG’s Board of Directors.
Ms. Cox stated the special assessment request is being made to fully replenish
their Revolving Loan Fund. It was discovered during the FY11-12 audit review that
inappropriate and inadvertent use of restricted funds from the Revolving Loan Fund were
utilized for general operations.
The US Economic Development Administration (EDA) informed the COG in
April that the funds owed to the Revolving Loan Funds were to be paid back in full
immediately. Because the COG is statutorily prohibited from borrowing money, the
quickest mechanism for obtaining the needed funds is through this special assessment on
its members.
Chairman Clayton stated he is the Commissioner Representative on the COG
Board noting the Board of Directors were not aware of any such activity. Chairman
Clayton stated the Executive Director had resigned and Ms. Cox, as the Interim Director,
had this issue placed on her without prior knowledge. Ms. Cox and Chairman Clayton
noted the COG has implemented a deficit reduction plan with a finance committee being
May 20, 2013
37
appointed, not going forward to hire an Executive Director at this time, suspended
contributions to the 401k plan, reduced board expenses and moving the Community
Development Block Grant program to fall under the Economic Development program.
Chairman Clayton stated the attorney for the COG, Jim Wrenn, had reviewed the issue
and found no criminal activity and that the violation involved restricted funds being co-
mingled with general use funds.
Commissioner Puryear stated he was not in support of the county funding the
special assessment request.
Vice Chairman Jeffers noted other county services and programs that would be
affected if the county did not fund the special assessment request and stated his support to
the COG.
A motion was made by Chairman Clayton, to fund the Kerr-Tar Regional Council
of Governments’ request for a special assessment in the amount of $43,232.
A substitute motion was made by Commissioner Puryear, to not fund the Kerr-
Tar Regional Council of Governments’ request for a special assessment in the amount of
$43,232 and suspend membership until such time that the COG is proven to be
financially stable. The substitute motion failed 2-3 with Commissioners Puryear and
Newell voting in favor and Chairman Clayton, Vice Chairman Jeffers and Commissioner
Blalock voting in opposition.
The original motion carried 3-2 with Chairman Clayton, Vice Chairman Jeffers
and Commissioner Blalock voting in support. Commissioners Puryear and Newell cast
the dissenting votes.
SEWER EXTENSION FOR NEW ROXBORO VETERINARY HOSPITAL:
General Services Director, Ray Foushee requested Board approval of a sewer
extension for a new Roxboro Veterinary Hospital. Mr. Foushee noted Dr. Aric Sabins
plans to build a new Roxboro Veterinary Hospital approximately 3,000 feet west of the
intersection of Patterson Drive and Hurdle Mills Road. The hospital will be on Patterson
Drive. Mr. Foushee further noted Dr. Sabins has requested that the new veterinary
hospital be connected to the City sewer line, requiring an extension of approximately
1,036 linear of 8” PVC. Mr. Foushee stated the total cost of the sewer extension will be
included in the building project, with no cost to the City or the County.
As per the ‘City and County Joint Water and Sewer Agreement’ adopted in
August 1999, Mr. Foushee stated that both the City and County, through their respective
governing bodies, shall approve all plans and authorize each extension of water and
sewer lines.
May 20, 2013
38
Mr. Foushee stated the City had this item on their May 14, 2013 agenda and City
Council granted approval.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Jeffers, and carried 5-0 to approve the
sewer extension request for a new Roxboro Veterinary Hospital as presented.

Vice Chairman Jeffers inquired about the revenues related to jail concessions and
commissions from inmate phone cards. Ms. Wehrenberg stated the revenues were a
result of items purchased through the jail canteen.
Ms. Wehrenberg requested confirmation the COG special assessment
appropriation would be funded by the County Fund Balance. It was the intent and
direction by the Board to the Finance Director to appropriate the special assessment from
the County Fund Balance.
