BRIEFING MINUTES
DECEMBER 17, 1996 -
The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met Tuesday,
December 17, 1996, 5:00 p.m., in the South Wing Conference Room, of
the Iredell County Government Center for a briefing session.
Present were: Chairman Sara K. Haire
Vice Chairman Steve D. Johnson
David A. Boone
Alice T. Fortner
Alice M. Stewart
Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager
Susan Blumenstein, Finance Director
William Allison, Planning Supervisor
Lynn Niblock, Director of Planning & Enforcement
Chuck Gallyon, Fire Marshal
Tim Fox, Assistant Fire Marshal
Chairman Haire called the meeting to order and advised that
the county manager had requested to suspend the Rules of Procedure
for the Board and to allow a Closed Session during the briefing
meeting pursuant to G.S. 143-318.11 (a) (4) - Economic Development.
REQUEST FOR THE APPROVAL TO OPERATE UNATTENDED SERVICE
STATIONS: Tim Fox, Asst. Fire Marshal, explained that the North
Carolina Building Code, volume V - Fire Prevention, requires that
the local governing body for counties approve the original
installation of unattended service stations. The building code
office requires this permission from each governmental unit,
because some counties, i.e., Wake and Mecklenburg, did not want
unattended stations.
DISCUSSION OF INTERMEDIATE ZONING CLASSIFICATION: William
Allison, Planning Supervisor, advised that the Manufactured Housing
Institute was agreeable to the appearance criteria being proposed
for manufactured housing.
Commissioner Stewart asked how many manufactured homes were
FHA financed. Allison answered one in ten.
Lynn Niblock (Director of Planning & Enforcement) mentioned
that if a permanent foundation is used for a mobile home it can
then be listed as a stick -built home (regular homeowners insurance
policy, etc.).
Commissioner Boone stated he had thought about the sizes of
lots and felt that maybe 30,000 sq. ft. would work out; however, he
knew that some people might have different opinions.
Commissioner Johnson mentioned that the more restrictive the
County became with its zoning ordinance the more the market for the
homes would be altered.
By suggestion of Commissioner Fortner, it was the consensus of
the group to refer this item back to the Planning Board.
CLOSED SESSION: MOTION by Chairman Haire to suspend the
Iredell County Board of Commissioner's Rules of Procedure and to
allow a closed session for the purpose of discussing economic
development - G.S. 143-318.11(a)(4).
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
