Eubanks named Catawba County director of planning

Lenoir Community College graduate Jacky Eubanks was recently named Catawba County director of planning and community development.

A liberal arts graduate, Eubanks was planning administrator for the City of Kinston and for the last five years, served as regional director for a consulting firm.

He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners, the NC/American Planning Association and the North Carolina Community Development Association.

Catawba County Planning Director Jacky Eubanks said the changes came as a disappointment to his staff.The location on N.C. 150 East is already in a high exposure area and destined for more vehicles as N.C. 16 is developed out that far.The completion of N.C. 16 is not expected for a few years, late 2010 or early 2011.

"So we want to put our best foot forward," Eubanks said.

This information was learned through conversations with Jacky Eubanks, Planning Director for Catawba County and Barbara G. Beatty, County Commissioner.

This is only if you're building in a doublewide overlay district," said Jacky Eubanks, Catawba County's planning director.
...
If there are vacant lots that have been previously been occupied with a mobile home as of Feb. 28, 2005, then the lot can be reoccupied by a singlewide or doublewide home," Eubanks said."This proposal allows more flexibility than the previous proposal."

Commissioners also briefly looked at shipping containers that some county residents have on their property.The proposed ordinance would not allow pods or shipping containers in a residential area.

"I would consider grandfathering the containers, if residents could prove with a bill of sale or something like that to prove the containers were there before this ordinance was passed," Eubanks said.

"The small area plans have been a very important process as we have sought to bring community leaders and citizens, in seven different parts of Catawba County outside of municipalities, together to plan for the future of those communities," said Jacky Eubanks, Catawba County's director of planning and park development."But those plans are only words on paper if we do not have efficient ordinances which will bring them to reality."

"It's an opportunity for the county to make a statement about its long-range projections of where new roads should go or where expansion of existing roads should occur," said Jacky Eubanks, Catawba County planning director.
