Planning Board rejects rezoning but public hearing continued
By CAR ol BR ook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com
After a split 2-2 vote, Planning Board Chair Hope Inge was the deciding “no” vote in the matter of rezoning four parcels of land on West Main Street for a multi-unit housing development.
The request was made by Burkely Communities, LLC, to rezone 207, 209, 301 and 305 W. Main St. from Main Street (MS) and Commercial/Main Street Transitional (C/MST) to Conditional Zoning-Residential/Main Street
Transitional (CZ-R/MST). Burkely proposes a development of up to 138 units of a multifamily residen-
about town
tial community. This is within both the West Main and Town Center Future Land Use designations and within walking distance to downtown shopping and entertainment.
Burkely’s proposed plan includes a mix of mansion or manor-style apartments fronting West Main Street and three-story apartment buildings toward the rear of the approximately 6.53-acre site. The design of the buildings would be compatible with the Jamestown National Register Historic District in which it is located. They would look like large single-family homes. All parking would be behind these apartment buildings.
Attorney Amanda Hodierne is handling the project for both the
sellers and Burkely. She was also the attorney who handled the failed 2021 Diamondback development on Mackay Road, which is now being developed by D.R. Horton, Inc. Hodierne said Burkely Communities has been looking for property in Jamestown “because it’s been a community that matches well and lines up well with their standards as owner-operators for these types of residential communities. Burkely Communities enjoys being a part of Jamestown and they get a lot of requests and feedback for more.”
Burkely CEO Sterling Kelly echoed Hodierne’s statement.

Rich Salyards: “I live within 500 feet of the proposed rezoning. I understand the sole decision for rezoning is based on the Envision [Jamestown] Comprehensive Plan from 2021. According to what the staff came up with, the impact analysis, stated that two parts of that parcel are covered under Town Center. According to the Comprehensive Plan, Town Center is nothing more than two stories. We’re talking three stories.
“Several people have talked about the traffic impact DOT is going to do. I contacted DOT and got a report back that says the intersection of Potter Drive and Forestdale has 8,960 cars a day past that intersection. Now you are trying to put 138 apartments there, roughly 260 cars, leaving to go to work, coming home, going to grocery store, visitors coming in, deliv-
eries being dropped off — you’re adding another 500 cars a day on an already highly congested road in front of a school. It makes no sense whatsoever. Everybody knows Forestdale and Potter are cut-throughs already. And now you want to dump another 500-600 cars a day on my street? I can’t back out of my driveway without being scared to death.
“It’s not the proper place for those apartments. It’s a traffic safety issue.
“If you look at the Comprehen-
sive Plan, they did a survey and the number one item is maintain a small-town feel. [Another point was] no/limited to new multifamily housing.”
Shawn Rogers, former director of Mendenhall Homeplace, given by Katie Gumerson: “The development must be avoided. It will negatively impact the historic and small-town character of this community. What’s next? Widening Main Street and threatening the existence of Richard Mendenhall’s store or home? What happened to the idea that keeping Jamestown a quiet, quaint village? Actions speak louder than words. What do you have to say to the stakeholders of our community? We are talking about the property within the Jamestown National Register Historic District and the Frazier house contributes to that district.”
Greg Pittman: “Think about our
property values. I want to encourage Burkely Communities that Jamestown is special. I love what you’re doing with what I’m calling conscious construction. Just remember it’s special and keep that at the heart of the project, which I think you’ve presented pretty well.
“I want to encourage the Board to consider this with full fervor because I can see the benefit as a business owner. The community would benefit from property values. Obviously the tax revenue and the other side benefits for the town would be great.”
Erica Holtzman: “Your plan’s really pretty, but if you look at our schools, they’re not so pretty. I was a teacher for 22 years. Florence, Millis Road and Jamestown elementaries have a lot of trailers on them — and they’re falling apart. If [the development] is within walking distance to the school, you’re going to have to have a crosswalk. Where are these

Thrill of the hunt motivates hobby detectorists
By no RMA B. denni S freela N ce writer

Ever since Rodney Joslin received his first metal detector as a child, he has enjoyed metal detecting as a hobby. Today he is president of Old North State Detectorists, a club that focuses on preserving history, including finding Colonial and Civil War artifacts.
“My first detector was inexpensive,” Joslin said during his talk “Digging History” at the Jamestown Public Library’s First Thursday History Series on Nov. 6. “Then I met someone with a better detector and saw what could be done with it.”
Joslin’s interest in detecting as a hobby continued to grow. In April of 2009, he learned about a new detecting club founded by Dr. William Purkey and decided to join. The club that started with nine members now has about 65. It was established as a non-profit in 2020.
“Our club has received several letters of commendation for our work,” Joslin said. “We have helped the City of Lexington with a crime scene, but we are often asked to find lost items, including rings, jewelry and grave markers. We have even been asked to find time capsules at a school. But the things we are most often asked to find are car keys.
“I love getting stuff out of the
ground and getting it where it is supposed to be,” he added. “I am very passionate about it.”
Most items found when detecting are in the range of three to eight inches under the surface.
Club member always receive permission before conducting hunts on private property.
“Some property owners do not let us detect on their land and lots of relics are just left to rot away,” Joslin said. “We are not going to a property to find gold,” he added, implying it was history they wanted to uncover. Before a hunt, detectors conduct background studies of the property’s history. They get old aerial views to determine what was on the property years ago.
“Research is really a big part of the hobby,” Joslin said.
Land originally used for farming often yields an array of farm implements. As someone who has always loved history, it is historic finds that excite Joslin the most.
Some finds include a whistle that was used to blow for a charge to battle or to tell troops what to do, and a wax seal fob used to seal envelops, presumed to be from a politician’s family.
“Detectors find more [old] spoons than knives and forks,” Joslin said. “I wonder if little boys liked to go outside and dig with spoons.”
Joslin has found an old finial

old north State Detectorists is an active metal detecting club with monthly meetings and club-sponsored events. Members include all ages whose level of experience varies from none to very seasoned. they welcome guests who would like to attend a meeting and observe a hunt, but they must be a current member to actively participate.

(ornament) from the top of a flagstaff, artillery buttons from uniforms and a Texas uniform button. He estimates founding 300 or 400 Civil War bullets.
“I never sell anything I find,” Joslin said. “I only traded one thing and have regretted it ever since.”
D.R. Horton, Inc., gave the ONSD club permission to search the property they purchased from the Johnson family along Mackay and Guilford College roads. The group found an array of buckles, leading members to determine they might have been made on the property. Other finds included a 1989 Ragsdale High School class ring, which they were able to return to its owner.
The club also found a few relics at Mendenhall Homeplace following a hunt there.
Although Joslin often prefers books to help identify objects he
finds, he admits to recently utilizing the Internet to help with identifications.
“The internet helps with research, but it is only so useful,” he said.
“Books have not lost their place.”
“When we leave a spot, you will never know we have been there,” Joslin said.
It is safe to say that the excitement of a unique find is what keeps Joslin looking.
“I would go anywhere I have permission to detect,” he said.
Knowing where to look and how to recognize what you find are important, but Joslin noted finding something takes a certain skill. He admits that hearing is an important part of detecting since different metals give different sounds. A code of ethics also plays at big part.

kids going to go — more trailers? Class sizes are already full. Teachers are leaving. They’re not fighting to come in.”
Lisa Paul: “I live directly across from the proposed entrance of the subject property. I attended both community meetings and reached out to my neighbors that did not receive a letter. It should be noted the letter was sent on pretty short notice for people that would consider [attending], maybe less than two weeks’ notice.
“I am not in favor of the rezoning request. I am in favor in keeping the property zoned as commercial. I prefer to have a commercial business that adds value to the town and an opportunity for the residents to support. I am not in favor due to increased traffic and the impact that would have on the intersections of Forestdale and Potter onto Main Street.
“I’m in favor of keeping Jamestown small and that is the reason I moved here.”
Abby Lane: I live directly across from the elementary school. No one here knows the school traffic quite like me. Parents are lining up at 6 a.m. and 12 noon when school is out at 2:20. This really is the only place you see traffic in Jamestown.
“I live about 800 feet from the train tracks. With the nice tree buffer at the property, my windows are still shaking when the trains pass. An average of 32 trains pass every day at a maximum speed of 79 miles per hour and every train is required to have a horn. I can’t imagine living in that 100 foot [proposed buffer] from the train and when that tree buffer is gone.
“Over the years we’ve learned, if you focus on people, the people who live there and the people who work there, you’re in a great position to have a high-quality neighborhood or community,” Kelly said. “[In any community], our commitment is to contribute positively to those areas and the best way to do that is to deliver to the people who choose to live there what they’re looking for.
“In Jamestown, I hear all of the residents of this community say what appeals to them is the small-town living. It’s precisely the reason

“We can talk all day about preserving the charm of Jamestown. Could it benefit from apartments? Sure, but I can’t think of a worse spot for it.
“This is really the only place where the Town Center could expand to. There is a happy medium between a Bojangles and 138 apartments, though I think the wooded land is the best option because we are a Tree Town anyway.”
Response from Amanda Hodierne: She does not believe the development would have a high number of school-age children but if the rezoning passes, Guilford County Schools will know about it and can plan.
Dr. Patricia Gray, chair of the board of directors of the Deep River Riverkeeper: “I want to raise the questions regarding the watershed and the current situation with Jamestown’s responsibility to the Randleman Reservoir. Jamestown was audited by the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources, June 7, 2023, to determine compliance with the municipal separate storm sewer system permit. At that time the program was found to be deficient in meeting all permit requirements. The renewal of the permit does not constitute an approval of the Town’s past administration of their program. The permit renewal and creation of the associated stormwater management plan is the first step of the Town’s process to bring their program into compliance with the permit.
“We just heard in the policy guidance and balanced approach slide an item called return on investment
our residents at Courtyard Commons have populated that community and made it such a strong community. We want to keep doing what people like.”
The West Main Street properties include the currently vacant Frazier House (once home to the Jamestown News) and the site of the Potter House, featured in the Nov. 5 Jamestown News, plus two wooded areas. It is bordered in the rear by the railroad and on the west by Advance Auto It is adjacent to the Lennox Square condominium development and diagonally across the street from Courtyard Commons, also a Burkely property.
The Lennox Square condominiums are owned by individuals and managed by their HOA. Burkely Communities has purchased the land on the remaining empty pads across from the condos and will be building two apartment buildings there. The Lennox Square Condos will remain a condo development, according to Planning Director José Colón.
The developer held two neighborhood meetings Sept. 30 and Oct. 27 to present the project and ask for input on the development. Most responses emphasized the desire to keep the small-town feel of Jamestown. Contrary to a developer coming in with a plan already in mind, with input from these neighborhood meetings, Burkely developed the proposed site plan seen here. It is still subject to change. There are 13 proposed zoning conditions to the proposed development. These include: total number of dwelling units shall not exceed 138; an access point to Lennox Drive; crosswalk installed across Main Street subject to NCDOT review; no parking lots/surface parking adjacent to West Main
of utilities. Has Jamestown actually made an investment in its stormwater system? Do you have a comprehensive stormwater management system that is recent Randleman Reservoir requirements? The upper part of the Randleman Reservoir system, in which we’re sitting, has the most stringent stormwater requirements. Therefore, when we start talking about increasing the stress on the current system that is out of compliance, the question becomes, ‘Are we really being responsible to the regulations and the people who have to live within this water system?’ So, the stringency of development is serious and this town is out of compliance and the DEQ has the ability to incur a lot of damage fine-wise.
“Quoting from regulations of the Randleman Reservoir, ‘New residential development shall not exceed 30 percent of the build-up area. That means, of the 6.53 acres that is being proposed here, 1.95 acres would be able to built on in compliance.”
Susan Dickenson, mayor-elect: “About three years ago I stood here. It was during the D.R. Horton development negotiations. I spoke about the Randleman watershed rules. My concern was that the land ordinance had not been updated with the 2020 version. We live in a very unique area. We have a lot of streams and tributaries that flow into Deep River and Bull Run. They all meet up here and empty into Randleman Reservoir and gets piped back to us after it’s cleaned and we drink it.
“In 2020, the North Carolina [General] Assembly mandated a whole set of water protection rules just for our tiny little watershed that still have not been updated in our Land
R ezoning
Street with parking behind the buildings; building height limited to three stories; hardscaped and planted plaza are between two of the buildings fronting West Main Street with seating and fountain/ public art installation/or gazebo; the interior buildings shall form a courtyard with community clubhouse, gathering area, etc.; and there will be planting yards along the eastern and western property lines to act as buffers.
Additionally, since the property is across the street from Jamestown Elementary School and nearby residents have said there is already a lot of school traffic in the morning and afternoon, Town staff requested that a full Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) be completed prior to the Town Council’s consideration, with the study scope specifically addressing school-related peak periods in coordination with NCDOT and the Town.
Any increase to the student population resulting from this development would be well within the projected population analysis of Guilford County Schools.
Burkely’s Stafford Kelly, vice president of development and acquisition, said these 1-or-2 bedroom units probably would not be large enough for families with children.
With the TIA condition, Jamestown staff recommended the Planning Board approve the rezoning and pass on to the Town Council.
However, with the 2-3 vote against the rezoning, the Planning Board requested the public hearing be continued until the Dec. 8 Planning Board meeting. The rezoning is then scheduled to go to the Town Council at its Jan. 20 meeting.
The decision was reminiscent of an earlier rezoning bid for a Bojangles fast-food
Development Ordinance. We need to get this thing updated because this determines density, allows us to enforce stricter erosion, sediment and construction runoff controls. These are the most important boxes that need to be checked before we check any more of the other boxes going forward. That applies to any development in our town. You will hear the existing regulations are even more stringent and stricter than the new. That’s not true. Go to my blog, thejamestowner9.com and you can see a side-by-side comparison of the Randleman rules and the difference between the requirements and protections in the 2020 rules that we need to have updated in our land development ordinance and what we have now. There are things like incredible differences in the buffer protections. There are so many statutes referenced in our outdated version. You’re using statutes that don’t exist anymore.”
Krisdena Reeser: “Yet again another high-density development is being proposed within Jamestown. What Burkely Communities is proposing is not a good fit for Jamestown. The applicant states, ‘As a multifamily community with no three-bedroom units, the number of residents with school-aged children will be de minimums.’ Considering the development will sit directly across from a very desirable elementary school, I find this statement to be misleading. Also, if the target is aging adults, who will want to live on a second- or third-story apartment unless there are elevators. Per the zoning staff report which

restaurant on a portion of the land.
In February 2010, Ragsdale Brothers, LLC, applied to rezone the property at 301 and 303 W. Main St. to C/ MST to construct a Bojangles Restaurant with a drivethru window. The Planning Board was in favor but the Town Council voted denial. Minutes of the meetings at the time helped Burkely make their own plans.
“We were able to look back at the minutes and understand the thinking, at least at that time, was that drive-thru fast food restaurants do not lean into that small town character, the feel of this corridor, that mix of uses that supports each other rather than detracts from each other,” Hodierne said. “That’s good to know. We need to be mindful of that as we think about what we would do with this property.”
After several public comments — see the Planning Board public comments story on this page — the Planning Board offered their comments.
Robert Garland said a mixed-use development would be the best for the future.
“Was there a time when you considered a mixed-use space?” Garland asked the developer. “A mixed-use space adding in commercial, restaurants, office space with the ability to have residential above that would be far more useful than the growth in 10, 20, 30 years than 138 apartment units in prime real estate.”
Hodierne replied that the possibility for mixed-use was discussed but the developer believed mixed-use existed with the Advance Auto/Meineke/Walgreen’s/ Lennox Square area next door. They wanted something different.

Drive/Forestdale area has continued,” said board member John Capes. “When I look at your design, I want to qualify a few things. The primary entrance is coming off Lennox. [We’ll have to] look at the intersection with Forestdale and West Main Street to see how that’s going to be taken in and impacted.
“I applaud the effort of the mansion style. You want something that has good eye appeal but at the same time not be the standard run-ofthe mill,” Capes added, also noting he hoped there would be a railroad buffer installed.
“One of our guiding principles is aging in place,” said Board member Darlene Fete and received verification the new buildings would not have elevators and the buildings would be ADA compliant.
Board member Brant Gomez asked about the traffic impact analysis.
“With Lennox Square and the two plots that could potentially be developed, is that part of the analysis,” he questioned. Hodierne said it would be part of the traffic analysis.
“If we want the tax rate to expand, we need more people,” Capes said.
When the motion was made to allow the rezoning, Capes and Fete voted in favor and Garland and Gomez noted against it, leading to Inge casting the tie-breaking vote against.
There were still questions, however, causing the Planning Board to continue the public hearing at the Dec. 8 meeting. The site plan is available in the Planning Board package at https://www.jamestown-nc.gov/ under Agendas and minutes.

The easiest (and cheapest) Thanksgiving sides you’ll ever make
By pAtti di AM
Thanksgiving has somehow earned a reputation as the culinary Olympics — all pressure, no podium and plenty of sweating. Every year, home cooks everywhere find themselves elbow-deep in peeling, chopping and timing six different dishes to finish at exactly the same moment, as though Gordon Ramsay is about to burst through the door with a camera crew and a stopwatch. Let’s release ourselves from that, shall we?
You don’t have to spend a paycheck on side dishes. You don’t have to spend three days prepping. And you absolutely don’t need a sous-chef to pull off a beautiful, abundant Thanksgiving table.
What you do need is a handful of sides that are inexpensive, unfussy and wonderfully reliable — the kind that come together quickly, don’t require fancy ingredients, yet still make everyone at the table feel cared for.
This year, consider this your pre-holiday pep talk from me: Keep it simple, keep it affordable and let your sides work smarter, not harder.
We’re leaning on some frozen vegetables that are budget friendly, with minimal prep and oven temps that play nicely together. In fact, all three roasted vegetable sides below cook at the same temperature and for the same amount of time.
states, under special information that the watershed is ‘Oakdale Reservoir general watershed area GWA.’
However, this [is] a subwatershed, which is part of the larger Randleman Lake watershed, a critical and protected watershed where 15 NCAC02B rules apply.
A highly trained and experienced Planning Department would have caught this error, but I’m sure the applicant was hoping you would miss it. The Randleman Lake watershed protections were mandated by the state legislature in 2020 and have never been incorporated into the town’s LDO despite numerous requests by residents, ETJ and community members. Once incorporated, the LDO language has to be submitted to the Environmental Management Commission for review and approval. These regulations should be enforced as the Town of Jamestown falls entirely in the Randleman

Affordable, colorful and ready in minutes — thanksgiving made simple.
If you’re hosting a small gathering, you can roast 1 pound of each recipe (half) all together on one sheet pan, giving you three colorful, delicious sides for the time and effort of one.
HoNEY GLAZED CARRoTS
Yield: 6-8 servings
Total Time: 35 mins.
2 pounds carrots 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Slice carrots on a diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces. In a mixing bowl, stir together

“These properties are situated between City Lake, Bull Run and Deep River. 305 West Main St. sits approximately 1,225 feet from City Lake and approximately 986 feet from Deep River, with state road 1334 to Oakdale Cotton Mill dam being listed as a 303D impaired water. [The properties run] back to the railroad tracks, which poses an entirely different problem in terms of setbacks and noise pollution.
Looking at the schematic of the development, a large amount of vegetation will be removed and the lot will be predominantly imperious surface. What issues will this development pose on Jamestown’s current stormwater plan and issue. I do not see any retention ponds on the property, so, where will the water go, based on the large, impermeable surface area.

honey, garlic, butter, oil and spices and toss the carrots to coat. Spread on a sheet pan; roast 20 minutes, tossing halfway. Serve warm.
To make Honey Glazed Cauliflower, substitute 2 pounds of frozen and thawed cauliflower for the carrots in the recipe (or fresh cauliflower cut into small florets and blanched).
RoASTED GARLIC GREEN BEANS
Yield: 6-8 servings
Total Time: 25 mins.
2 pounds frozen green beans, thawed and well-drained 1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced Salt and pepper, to taste
Heat oven to 425 F and line a sheet pan with parchment. In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic, salt and
residents, ETJ and community members to uphold the LDO, state and federal laws, whether or not they’re explicitly stated in town documents. I request an environmental study be done on this property.”
Response from Town Manager Matthew Johnson: “I’m going to squelch a rumor. In regard to the Randleman Reservoir watershed rules, when the buffer rules were updated in 2020, the designated local governments were informed that they were not required to update their ordinances but, rather, they could if they chose to do so. The updated buffer rules are less stringent than the prior rules. So, the local government could choose to maintain the more stringent requirements they would be exceeding the current state requirements and would satisfy the buffer requirements. The Town has been in compliance.”
pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast 15-20 minutes, until tender-crisp and lightly golden around the edges. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm.
One more! Garlic Sauteed Spinach transforms bundles of fresh spinach into an easy, healthy, flavorful side dish in just 10 minutes.
GARLIC SAUTEED SPINACH
Yield: 4 servings
Total Time: 10 mins.
1 (12 to 16 ounce) bag fresh spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds — don’t let it brown. Add all the spinach at once. Toss with tongs to coat in garlic and oil. Cover for 1 minute to steam, stir, repeat until wilted, about 5 minutes. Season and serve immediately. Thanksgiving isn’t a performance; it’s a gathering. Simplify where you can. Let these budget-friendly sides lighten your load. Go forth and feast. You’ve got this.

• “Let one person be responsible for putting prep dishes, pots and pans in the dishwasher while another prepares the bird and side dishes for the table. You will be halfway done with dishes by the time the meal is over.” — M.A. in Washington
• Leftover bread can be repurposed as croutons or breadcrumbs. In fact, this is an excellent job for kiddos. With clean hands and a butter knife, older children can cut leftover rolls into manageable size pieces. Spray with olive oil cooking spray and bake at a low temperature (225 F) to dry out. Or crumble stale bread into crumbs and store in the freezer.
• If you love to burn candles, then the odds are good that you have a lot of candle “ends” that can no longer be used. You can purchase new wicks at the craft store and make a new candle from your leftovers. Simply scrape out the leftover wax into a clean tin can with one end removed. Set this can into a pot on your stovetop. Add a few inches of water, and boil to melt the wax. Then, holding the wick in place, you can pour the melted wax back into a candle-safe jar to let cool. Burn away!
• If you have ever had a tough time threading a needle, try this trick. Spritz the end of the thread with a shot of hairspray. It makes the thread stiffer, and it goes right through with no fuss.
