1. Joint Planning Program with other Jurisdictions
2. Adequate Public Facilities Ordinances
3. Residential Lot Sizes
4. Special Use Permits for Larger Subdivisions
5. Mobile Home Appearance Criteria Provisions
JOINT PLANNING PROGRAM WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS
Niblock said the county hosted a meeting with the planners from Mooresville and Statesville
on February 15. In addition, Troutman Town Manager A.J. Barghoti attended. The planner from
Davidson had intended to come but was sick on the meeting date. Mr. Niblock said the meeting was
productive, and the group hoped to meet on a quarterly basis.
ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES (APF) ORDINANCES
Hobbs said an impartial measuring tool had to be in place when using an APF. He said the
most critical factors in working with APF ordinances seemed to be schools and roads.
Mr. Hobbs said there were 750 subdivision lots waiting to be recorded. He said this was not
counting the Morrison's Plantation subdivision (1,700 units), which would probably have enough
children to fill an entire school.
Hobbs distributed several handouts. They involved the local schools and roads. One handout
was an example of an APF provision/ordinance written for the county.
Commissioner Bowles asked if an APF would manage growth or just direct it to another
location within the county.
Hobbs said it depended on what was being built.
