REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION/DECISION CONCERNING A LETTER
OF SUPPORT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT & NATURAL
RESOURCES REGARDING THE PROPOSED EXPANSION OF THE LAKE
NORMAN STATE PARK: Planning Supervisor Steve Warren said that in
conjunction with Duke Power's relicensing, discussions had been occurring about the
expansion of Lake Norman State Park. He said the state desired to purchase 486 acres
of land, at fair market value, that adjoined the existing park property. Warren said
initial plans were to allow recreational activities at the site including a public swimming
area. He was asked if the Town of Troutman still wanted the property for a subdivision,
and he indicated this was no longer an issue. Mr. Warren said previously Crescent
Resources wanted to create a water intake with Troutman but those plans had changed.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A PERMIT FEE WAIVER POLICY
FOR EMERGENCY REPAIRS NECESSARY TO CORRECT DAMAGES
CAUSED BY NATURAL DISASTERS (LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY HAS
BEEN DECLARED): Planning & Code Enforcement Director Lynn Niblock said that in
the past, when a state of emergency had been declared, there had been a waiver of
permit fees for construction necessitated by natural disasters. He said the situations had
been handled on a case-by-case basis, and a policy would help provide faster assistance
when emergency repairs were needed. Niblock requested approval of the permit fee
waiver policy effective immediately, and he said a significant loss of revenue was not
anticipated.
