The Moore County Planning Board has elected Dave Kinney as vice-chairman, succeeding Kim VonCanon, who rotated off the board this month. The vote was unanimous at a Thursday night meeting.

The board also recognized VonCanon for her hard work and dedication and welcomed her successor, Jerry Wilson. VonCanon was unable to attend the meeting, and a member of the planning staff will deliver the certificate of appreciation to her.

In other business the board voted to recommend that the Board of Commissioners rezone a parcel on Murdocksville Road from Highway Commercial to Rural Agricultural-20. Herman Aldean Mabe made the request.

After lengthy debate on a number of issues, the board approved a conditional use permit for Efrain Cardozo to place an accessory dwelling, a manufactured home, on a single-family lot he owns on Mount Carmel Road.

More details will appear in the print version of The Pilot.
