HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93010_1109 (2)Presentation by Attorney John Fuller Regarding a Cemetery Abandonment Request
and the Disinterment(Re-interment of Human Remains (property to be purchased by the
Iredell-Statesville School System for the construction of a new K-8 Educational Facility):
Attorney John Fuller said he represented the Joseph Davidson heirs who owned 104 acres of
land. Fuller said the Iredell-Statesville Board of Education had entered into a land sale contract
for the property, but during the due diligence phase, three unmarked gravesites were found. He
said the property had been in the Davidson family since before the Revolutionary War, and the
identity of the individuals buried on the land was unknown. Mr. Fuller asked for the board's
permission to disinter the remains, and to re -inter them in an Iredell County cemetery.
County Manager Mashburn said that in the past, the health director had been appointed to
oversee the disinterments/re-interments. He said it was unclear; however, if the commissioners
had authorized the health director to supervise the activities on a permanent basis. Mashburn
clarified that the county's only responsibility in the matter was to oversee the process, and it
would not be financially responsible for the disinterments/re-interments.
OTIO by Commissioner Norman to allow the disinterment and re -interment of the
human remains and to appoint the Iredell County Health Director to supervise the activities in
this request and in future requests.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
(Note: The health director will have the authority to appoint a designee to act on his/her
behalf to fulfill these responsibilities.)
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Chairman Johnson declared the meeting to be in a public hearing.
CASE NO. 0304-1: Luther E. Campbell Requests that a Portion of Property be
Rezoned from Highway Business to Residential Agricultural (Location: Mullis Road,
adjacent to I-77, Harmony, N.C., PIN# 4863-244407) : Planning Supervisor Smith said Mr.
Campbell desired to rezone 7.19 acres of a 14.70 acre tract. He said the existing land use was
vacant and the surrounding uses were vacant and residential. Smith mentioned that in 1983, the
property was rezoned from Residential Agricultural to Highway Business. He said a 150wide
strip of property extending parallel with I-77 for a billboard would continue to have the Highway
Business zoning. Smith said that on April 2, 2003, the Iredell County Planning Board
unanimously voted in favor of the request.
Mr. Luther Campbell said that due to health reasons, his granddaughter and her husband
had been assisting him. He said that if the rezoning were approved, the couple would move to
the property.
