was developed in about six months. Three public hearings have been
held.
Smith said the plan is similar to the Iredell County Land
Development Plan; however, it is more of a district plan to guide
development. Since there is only one road in to the peninsula and
one road to exit, Smith aga sect alt the whole area needed to be

Johnson said that if the plan was endorsed it would certainly make
the jobs for the commissioners easier; however, he didn't want to
gain that luxury at the expense of someone losing their ability to
vote on their representatives.

legislation by this meeting date.)
Commissioner Boone said he was on the Board when the Crescent
rezoning was discussed. He mentioned that by and large the plan
was good. Boone stated that the peninsula was basically a giant
cul de sac. There's one way in and one way out unless someone
builds a bridge across the sound. He said he would personally like
stricter control in the plan pertaining to limiting population
density. One possible solution would be for a local bill to
include a referendum and let the residents vote on the matter. If
it happens that the zoning jurisdiction does not go to Mooresville,
Mr. Boone said he didn't feel the plan should be abandoned. The
County should adopt some version of the plan on its own.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
Mr. John Aiken, (proponent) p.O.s.s.E (Protect Our shores and
Snvironsent) representative, stated he was a former resident of the
Brawley peninsula, however, he currently resides in the town limits
of Mooresville. He mentioned that his group's position on the
rezoning of any parcels of land in the peninsula area, at this
time, should not be allowed.
A few years ago, a group of about 1,000 started P.O.S.S.E. It
was an effort to work with elected officials in a pro -active manner
pertaining to Crescent Resources. It was not the group's mission
to stop development, but to establish common ground and positive
growth. This group drafted a Lake Norman overlay which was more
strict than the zoning permitted for Crescent.
The P.O.S.S.E. group is in favor of the Brawley Land
Development Plan. Aiken mentioned the Town of Mooresville would
have Brawley residents involved and represented in the process of
zoning and land use.
