Attomev Bert Walser, representing the owners, said the proposed tenant (drilling company)
would do environmental drilling as well as homeowner well drilling. He said some of the equipment
was large and would need to be stored outside, and this was why the new zoning was needed.
Walser said some machinery would be used inside of a building, and this would eliminate any undue
noise for the surrounding properties.

UPDATE AND/OR APPROVAL OF PROPOSED BALANCED GROWTH
INITIATIVES (Previously discussed at the Winter Planning Session.)
OPEN SPACE.ZONING DISTRICT
Smith said this initiative would create two large -lot zoning districts (two -acre minimum).
He said the districts would be initiated through the rezoning process on a voluntary basis, and they
would be located outside ofthe established urban growth boundaries ofthe local municipalities. He
also said that to establish a district, one hundred percent (100%) ofthe property owners would have
to sign a petition agreeing to the rezoning provisions. Any amount less than 100% would not be
considered. Smith said this initiative would require an amendment to the Iredell County Zoning
Ordinance, and thus, a public hearing would be necessary.
