Michael Johnson asked if language such as: "the highest level of conformity
that was reasonable" could be used for the situation or in the agreement.
Niblock and Warren asked how "reasonable" would be defined, and who would
determine whether or not it had been met.
Lauer agreed that "reasonable" was subjective.
City Manager Hires said the city was planning on rewriting its ordinance. He
said the subdivision definitions could be rewritten.
Chairman Tice said it appeared the next step was to allow the city and county
planning staffs and boards to meet about the agreement.
Warren said that Mr. Lauer would be in the Statesville area in May, and prior to
this, the planning departments could meet.
Commissioner Johnson said the staff could determine the differences in major
and minor subdivisions along with determining what would be expected of the
developers if the city could not provide service in two years. Mr. Johnson suggested
for the Statesville officials to meet with the Town of Troutman representatives.
Johnson said the Troutman officials thought the USA line was near Dover Road.
Hires said he had met with Troutman Town Manager Donald Duncan, and the
lines had been presented to him.
Michael Johnson said, "There's nothing arbitrary about the lines. They follow a
ridgeline." He said the lines were derived from the drainage basins.
County Attorney Pope asked Councilman Mike Johnson if he was saying that
everything in the Third and Fourth Creek Basins were in the USA area.
Councilman Johnson said everything depicted in the USA was in one of the
basins except the extensions up I-77 North that crossed into a small portion of the Fifth
Creek Basin. He added that the economical potential of the intersection was such that it
was worthy of an inter -basin transfer.

revisions outlined by Lauer and upon an amicable resolution on the minor and major
