said USDA could offer an ARRA loan with a fixed rate of 4.125 percent. This will require
interim financing and construction financing and a one year reserve. Ms. Talley said ARRA
money must be used within five years.
Chairman McNeill called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. There being no comments, Chairman McNeill closed the public
hearing.
Chairman McNeill stressed we are not totaling obligating ourselves at this point but do need to
lock in at the low rate. Commissioner Andrews moved to approve the resolution accepting the
presented letter of conditions. Vice Chairman Hill seconded the motion which passed
unanimously
Jay Sikes, Senior Planner, petitioned the Board to approve a Locally Designated Historic
Landmark. Applicant: R.L. Johnson Family LP (Tim Johnson), 350 acres, 2095 Kipling Road,
Hectors Creek Township. The Historic Properties Commissioner reviewed an application on
May 24, 2010 to obtain approval for a "Locally Designated Historic Landmark ". The site is
currently occupied by 34 buildings, a family cemetery, a grape arbor and acres of agricultural
fields. The surrounding land uses are predominantly residential and vacant agricultural lands.
The Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request.
Chairman McNeill noted that 350 acres was a lot of land to designate and questioned what if
someone down the road wanted to do something different with the property. Chairman McNeill
said he just didn't want any misunderstanding in the future. Mr. Sikes verified if plans changed
or the land owner wanted to do something different they would have to back to the Historic
Properties Commission.
Chairman McNeill called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for
comments from the public. Kent Jeffries of Chalybeate Springs spoke in support. There being
no further comments, Chairman McNeill closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Andrews moved to approve the Resolution of Adoption, Locally Designated
Historic Landmark, Harnett County, recognizing and designating the Johnson Farm as being on
the National Register of Historic Places and now as a locally designated historic landmark.

Harnett County Board of Commissioners
July 21, 2010 Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 11 of 12
audio recording of the sound of one group firing weapons. Mr. Jeffries said Drakes Landing is
being allowed to conduct unregulated firearms shooting activities. He said in recent months
Drakes Landing had hosted military -style training exercises with high- powered weapons. He
said the Association feels these activities pose a public nuisance and endanger the public health.
Drakes Landing operates as an Agritourism which is a state designation for farms and
agricultural properties that offer entertainment or recreation. Agritourism practices and activities
are not subject to county zoning rule or regulations. Commissioner Burgin questioned if the
county, due to not regulating activities, would be responsible or liable if someone was hurt. Staff
Attorney Jennifer Slusser said it would depend on the circumstances?
Joseph Jeffries, Director of Harnett County Planning, said his office has had a difficult time
dealing with the issue of agritourism because there is little supporting documentation and legal
history on the subject. N.C. Agricultural Commissioner Steve Troxler did rule that skeet
shooting could be classified as Agritourism. She said it was not the county's opinion that
activities such as military -style weapons training fit under Agritourism. Mrs. Slusser reported
that the county has been in contact with the management of Drakes Landing and communicated
that tactical and marksman training are not permitted there and would need to go through the
conditional use process to be allowed. She also stated that management of Drakes Landing is
willing to talk with people in the community to address some of their issues including hours of
operation. Commissioner Burgin asked that the legal staff request the management of Drakes
Landing to not shoot on Sundays.
Mr. Sauer presented the following reports:
• Interdepartmental Budget Report
• Municipal Animal Control Monthly Activity Report
No closed session was needed.
Chairman McNeill called for any new business. Commissioner House requested that the County
Manager contact Mr. Ken Bryan and have him come and give the board an update on the hospital
situation.
At 8:12 pm Commissioner House moved to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Burgin and passed unanimously.
