LAURIE BEACH PROPERTY, CASE NO. 0208-3, FROM RESIDENTIAL
AGRICULTURAL At HIGHWAY BUSINESS TO MULTI -FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL CONDITIONAL USE DISTRICT (R -8A) (LOCATION:
MECKLYNN ROAD ADJACENT TO INTERSTATE 77 IN MOORESVILLE,
NC): Planning Supervisor Ron Smith explained this rezoning request and the conditions
agreed to by the applicant. Smith said the multi -family development (Cove Key Town
Homes) probably would not impact the school systems. He said the developer was
proposing to build 17 town homes, 2 condominiums, and 1 single-family home for a total
of 20 units.
Commissioner Bowles asked about the detached single-family home on the
southern end.
Mr. Kennerly said he and his wife planned to live there.
Bowles asked the difference in a town home and a condominium. He also asked
how the developers would keep people from using the emergency access as a cut -
through.
Kennerly said there was a difference in the real estate conveyance. He said,
usually, with a town home, there was a footprint of the ground underneath. Mr. Kennerly
said that with a condominium, the interior was owned by the owner, but the exterior was
owned by the homeowner's association. In reference to the emergency access, he said
individuals would be fined for inappropriate use.
