SUMMARY FROM THE PLANNING SUPERVISOR REGARDING
ANNEXATION PLANS SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF STATESVILLE: Smith
said state laws required municipalities to submit proposed annexation plans to the
counties, and that recently the City of Statesville had submitted a proposal containing
small tracts located on the north and northeastern sides of the city. Mr. Smith said that
all of the areas, with the exception of two, were in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction.
He said the annexation would primarily affect the county through fire protection. Smith
said that under North Carolina law, cities had to provide the same type of fire protection
in annexed areas that it offered in the city limits. He said cities could contract with the
volunteer fire departments, enter into mutual aid agreements, or take over service
completely. Smith said the volunteer fire departments that would be affected by the
annexation were Cool Springs, Monticello and Ebenezer. He said the city had agreed to
pay a portion of the accrued debt for the Cool Springs VFD, and it would provide a good
faith lump sum to Monticello and Ebenezer. (Cool Springs submitted debt information to
the city, but Monticello and Ebenezer did not.) Smith said the following 12 properties
were in the annexation plan: Energy United, Bill Ray Martin, A -I Mobile Homes, RV
Feimster, David Castleberry, Wayne Homes, Wilson Martin, Lang & Sue Hedrick (all in
the Cool Springs VFD district), Lowes Foods and Mayhew properties (Ebenezer VFD
district) and Ryder Truck Rental and Southern Bell (Monticello VFD district).
Mr. Smith said the properties in the annexation proposal were non-residential
structures, and since the county distributed sales tax revenues on a per capita basis, there
would not be a revenue deficit. Smith said the annexation would become effective
October 31, 2003, if the city did not alter the plan. (Mr. Smith said no action was needed
by the commissioners.)
