MINIMUM LOT SIZE DISCUSSION: A discussion was held in reference to the
planning board referring the minimum lot size matter back to the board of commissioners. The
planning board suggested that a committee be established to review lot sizes.
Fortner said that if a committee were formed, she thought it should have a farm
representative. She said a comprehensive plan was needed--notjustaplanhavingone-acre lot sizes.
Mrs. Fortner said farmers had mentioned to her that acre lots would just create more sprawl. She
suggested that Harmony, Troutman, and Mooresville have representation on the committee i f it was
created.
Bowles said the committee should have a health department representative along with a
septic tank contractor.
Johnson said any committee that was created needed credibility. He suggested
representatives from the health and planning boards. He also said that real estate agents and
developers should have representation.
Stewart said the establishment of a committee would just be adding another layer of people.
She asked the county manager to contact the manager in Catawba County and find out how size
requirements were addressed and approved in that county.
