the Amount of $123,958 for FY 2002-2003: Iredell Transportation Authority Chairman Ben
Garrison said he was requesting to apply for an annual grant from the North Carolina Department of
Transportation. He said the funds were not to be used for administrative purposes or for capital.
Garrison said the funds were broken down into the following three components: $67,476 for the
Elderly & Disabled Transportation Assistance Program, $12,702 for Work First Employment
Funds, and $43,780 for Rural General Public Funds. Garrison said additional funding might be
available in the Rural General Funds, and he was completing a separate application for them.
Commissioner Williams asked Garrison if he was certain the state funds would be available.
Garrison said nothing was certain, but he was being told the funds were earmarked for the
referenced purpose. He added that most of the funds were from the federal government, and they
were passed from the state to the counties.
No one else requested to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.

Rezoning Request: Wade D. & Nancy R. Blackwelder Property, Case No. 0203-2,
from Highway Business to Residential Agricultural District (Location: 1130 Turnersburg
Hwy., Statesville, NC): Smith said this request would rezone property from Highway Business
(HB) to Residential Agricultural (RA). Mr. Smith said the overall tract was 11.68 acres; however,
the request pertained to only the back portion, or 8.64 acres (PIN#4757-32.0107). (The portion
facing Tumersburg Highway would remain Highway Business or commercial.) Smith said the
entire 11.68 acres was zoned Highway Business in year 2000, along with several other adjacent
tracts. Mr. Smith said now, the Blackwelders were requesting the RA designation due to the
increased tax burden associated with the commercial zoning. Smith said the applicants were

situation to the north (Turner property). Mr. Smith said the planning staff, and the planning board,
