CALL TO ORDER by Chairman Tice. Case No. 0205-1: Request from Mary W. & C. Charles Dalton for an Amendment to the Iredell County Land Development Plan and to Rezone Property from Residential Agricultural & General Business Conditional Use District to General Business Conditional Use District (Location: 2110 Statesville Hwy., Mooresville, NC) Planning Supervisor Smith said the planning board on May 1, 2002 voted to deny Mr. & Mrs. Dalton's request for the General Business (CUD) zoning. He said the conditions shared with the planning board were: no internally lighted signs allowed on the property and a 36 square foot maximum sign copy area. Smith said the traffic capacity for the area was 12,000 vehicles per day and it had already reached this number. In addition, Smith said the tracts were not located in an existing commercial node, but they were on a major thoroughfare. Mr. Smith said the planning staff did not feel the GB(CUD) zoning was appropriate for the property. He said the staff preferred Neighborhood Business for the site, but the applicants were not in agreement. Smith said the propertywas near a residential section, and the staff had received telephone inquiries/concerns from the residents. Mr. Smith said that if the rezoning request were denied by the board of county commissioners, the applicant would not be able to reapply (same request) for two years. He said that if the applicants withdrew their request before the commissioners heard the case, they could apply for a different type of rezoning in six months. In reference to Case No. 0205-2: Request from David G. & Rosetta J. Martin, Smith said the request was in compliance with the standards of the Exit 42 study, and the staff and planning board recommended approval. Carl Duncan, Chief Juvenile Court Counselor, speaks in reference to VisionsWork, Inc.: Duncan said the juvenile court counselors typically had 100 active cases at any given period of time. He said 19 juveniles were currently enrolled in the VisionsWork program. Duncan said the legislature had ,sanctioned" or approved day reporting centers as being acceptable dispositional alternatives for juvenile judges. He said that prior to the Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 1999, many juveniles were being sent to training schools, but the admission rate had now decreased. Mr. Duncan said that all of the programs being funded with juvenile justice funds in Iredell County were beneficial, and he would regret to lose any of them. Commissioner Ray asked what the level of sentencing was for day reporting centers.
