commissioners for action.
Jane Laney (opponent): Lives in area -- presented petitions
of people on Brawley School Road. Laney referred to the meeting of
April 2 when she asked, "Who will pay for the plan?" Mrs. Laney
said she had a problem with the plan because there was no one
representing the schools, parks/ recreation, and fire department.
She said that ultimately the commissioners would still be in
control of these matters. Concerned about the current road
conditions; however, she said she realized DOT would have to assist
in this problem. Advised everyone that if the plan passed that
their tax rate would double. Mentioned concerns for elderly living
in area having to pay more.
Cheryl Miller (Proponent): Resident of area. Felt the
peninsula needed a plan. Asked that the Town of Mooresville be
allowed to implement the plan.
Margaret Bruce (Proponent): Resident of peninsula. Wanted
long-range planning for roads/traffic planning, schools, etc.
Advocate of the program which gives the "most authority, vision,
responsibility, and most teeth." Doesn't mind paying for what she
receives.
Jim Benton (Proponent): Resident of peninsula for seven
years. Requested that the plan be approved.
Sandra Albrecht (Centralia& COO Staff): Advised that she just
signed the speaker's list to answer any questions. (None were
asked of her.)
Hill yawell, sr. (Proponent): Indicated that his son was not
acting as a representative of P.O.S.S.E. when he agreed to serve on
the land development plan committee. Newell, Sr., said he
supported the plan, and the extension of the Town of Mooresville's
ETJ to the entire peninsula. Felt the area needed urbanvs. rural
planning/ zoning. Supports intelligent growth. Newell, Sr., said
he was not criticizing the Board; however, there was no mention of
a referendum when approval was given to Crescent Resources for the
development at the end of Brawley School Road, or the funding to
extend municipal services to the Brawley and Lake Norman Schools.
Mentioned that county and municipal officials should work together.
Dick Hanshar: Said he was representing residents of the
peninsula, but was a resident of Mecklenburg Co. Feels the pian is
excellent. Served on Harrisburg Town Council for two years.
During this period of time he headed up a committee to do a ten-
year land use plan. Stated he had not been a resident long enough
to say who should administer the plan; however, it was needed.
