HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93010_1337 (2)Michael Lindsey Addresses the Board in Regards to a High -Density Option
Request in the Spring Acres Subdivision: Lindsey, a resident of 173 Trollingwood
Lane, Mooresville, NC, spoke on behalf of 77 petitioners in opposition to the proposed
Independence at Ridge Top Assisted Living facility. Lindsey said the high density
application and the proposed development did not comply with the county's land use
development plan or the accepted watershed protection guidelines. In addition,
Lindsey said the proposed development did not have a chance of being certified by the
State Department of Health and Human Services, due to the county having a surplus of
adult care beds. Mr. Lindsey cited pages 8, 10, and 15 in the River Highway Corridor
Study and discussed specific problem areas.
Lindsey summarized his statements by re-emphasizing the following concerns
about the proposed assisted living facility.
Safety (238 additional trips a day)
Property values (impact on water quality)
Character of the neighborhood
Conformity with the River Highway Corridor Study (This plan
specifically calls for low density use in the Spring Acres area and
recommends the use of transitional areas to protect single-family homes.)
Need (Iredell County is overbuilt in adult care beds -- 494 surplus).
Mr. Lindsey requested that the board reject the high-density application, or any
application of this type, in the Spring Acres Development.
