Request from Perry Wayne Brown & James Arthur Brown for the Release of
Zoning and Subdivision Jurisdiction (Extraterritorial) to the Town of Mooresville for
Approximately 20.3 Acres of Property that fronts Hwy. 801 in Mooresville, NC —
PIN#4678-18-7128: County Planner Jackson said Perry and James Brown had requested
a zoning/subdivision release to the Town of Mooresville for property that was adjacent to
the Dunmore Estates LLC property. Ms. Jackson reminded the board members that the
Dunmore Estates property was released to the Town's jurisdiction on November 23, 2004.
She continued by saying a developer (Forest City Land Development) was planning for a
school to be built on the Brown property to serve a 900-975 unit residential development
and others in the vicinity. Jackson said that due to the proposed usage (school) and the
prior release of jurisdiction on the Dunmore Estates property, the staff recommended
approval.
OTIO by Commissioner Johnson to approve the zoning/subdivision jurisdiction
release of the Perry Wayne and James Arthur Brown property to the Town of Mooresville
as recommended by the staff.

Request from the Wayside Volunteer Fire Department for Permission to
Pursue Financing for the Purchase of a Replacement Fire Truck: Finance Director
Blumenstein reviewed the five banking proposals received for the financing of a 2004
American LaFrance Pumper/Tanker (heavy duty 2,150 -gallon water capacity; 2000 gpm
pumping capacity) costing $389,735.00. Blumenstein said the estimated vehicle delivery
date was mid-January 2005, and the VFD desired to borrow $240,000.00 with the
transaction to be secured by the new truck. She said the lowest proposal was from
Daimler/Chrysler Corporation representing American LaFrance.
Wayside Chief Ken Hall said his board of directors had met and requested the
seven-year financing with Daimler/Chrysler, due primarily because the payments after the
fourth year would not create such a financial hardship.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the VFD could manage the debt service in the "out
years."
Hall said the department averaged between $8,000 to $10,000 a year in fundraisers,
and these would help on the debt. He said an "envelope drive" would be done along with
barbecues.
Commissioner Robertson thanked Chief Hall for Wayside's services, and he asked
how many firemen were affiliated with the department.
Mr. Hall said 32.
Robertson said the firemen were being asked to fight fires, and now they were also
being asked to help with fundraising. He asked Chief Hall how many of the firemen were
predicted to be with the department for the duration of the loan.
Hall said he couldn't guarantee all of them, but he expected the majority of them
would help. He said some of the firemen had even offered to forfeit their incentive pay
and donate it towards the truck debt. Chief Hall said Wayside would not have been in the
situation had the Fire Tax District Board allotted the full $150,000 as was originally
understood.
OTIO by Commissioner Williams to approve the Wayside VFD truck
financing with Daimler/Chrysler, over a seven-year period at a 3.80% interest rate with no
closing or prepayment penalty costs, and with the total interest and costs amounting to
$30,210.
