POPE TO CHAIR THE HEARING: Chairman Sloan turned the chairmanship over to County Attorney Bill Pope, who began the hearing. ZONING HEARING: Chairman Pope set forth rules of procedures for an orderly meeting. At the request of Chairman Pope, Jerry Lundy outlined the zoning recommendation from the planning board, The proposed zoning consists of approximately 900 acres, bounded on the south by Town of Mooresville's extraterritorial boundary, on the west by Mazeppa Road (SR 2395), on the east by NC Highway 801, and on the north by Triplett Road (SR 2362). There is presently no zoning on this property. Mr. Lundy made a further staff recommendation to change the zoning on lots 20, 21 and 32 along Highway 801 from M-2 to RA. The total area recommended for M-2 is smaller by about 60 acres. This creates a distance of about 1200 feet from the highway to the M-2 zone, Mr. Lundy said. He also recommended that the board of commissioners consider a minimum of 50' buffer around the property and require trees to be placed on the property where M-2 touches the RA zoning, but not where M-2 touches the railroad. Mr. Lundy stated there were two requests before the board: (1) To amend the Land Development Plan; and (2) To zone the property. This comes recommended by the Planning Board, Mr. Lundy said.
