CALL TO ORDER by Chairman Tice.
REQUEST FROM LOWE'S COMPANIES, INC., FOR THE RELEASE OF
ZONING AND SUBDIVISION JURISDICTION TO THE TOWN OF
MOORESVILLE: South Iredell Economic Developer Melanie O'Connell Underwood
and John W. Vining, Jr., the Administrative Vice President for Lowe's Companies, Inc.,
attended the meeting in reference to this request.
Planning Supervisor Ron Smith said Lowe's Companies, Inc., desired the release
of zoning and subdivision jurisdiction to the Town of Mooresville for 146 acres of
property located between Fairview Road and Langtree Road. Smith said the property
consisted of three parcels and some of it was located near the Mooresville Town limits, or
within the urban services boundary. Smith said that on September 10, 2001, the Town of
Mooresville approved a request from the Lowe's officials for annexation and utilities
extension.
REQUEST FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSED SOLID
WASTE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT IN REFERENCE TO ABANDONED OR
JUNKED MOTOR VEHICLES: Sm,,h said there was currently a section in the
zoning ordinance that addressed junkyards. He said, however, that if a property were
located in a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, the regulations pertaining to
junked or abandoned vehicles were difficult to enforce; both by the city and the county.
Smith said a remedy for this would be to place the regulations or the amendments in the
solid waste ordinance. Mr. Smith offered the following amendment. He noted the solid
waste officer would determine if violations had occurred, and if so, the owner would be
asked to either remove the vehicles or to store them in a manner consistent with the
ordinance. Mr. Smith said the county would have the authority to remove the vehicles if
the owner failed to respond.
