HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93010_1109Presentation by Attorney John Fuller Regarding a Cemetery Abandonment Request and the Disinterment(Re-interment of Human Remains (property to be purchased by the Iredell-Statesville School System for the construction of a new K-8 Educational Facility): Attorney John Fuller said he represented the Joseph Davidson heirs who owned 104 acres of land. Fuller said the Iredell-Statesville Board of Education had entered into a land sale contract for the property, but during the due diligence phase, three unmarked gravesites were found. He said the property had been in the Davidson family since before the Revolutionary War, and the identity of the individuals buried on the land was unknown. Mr. Fuller asked for the board's permission to disinter the remains, and to re -inter them in an Iredell County cemetery. County Manager Mashburn said that in the past, the health director had been appointed to oversee the disinterments/re-interments. He said it was unclear; however, if the commissioners had authorized the health director to supervise the activities on a permanent basis. Mashburn clarified that the county's only responsibility in the matter was to oversee the process, and it would not be financially responsible for the disinterments/re-interments. OTIO by Commissioner Norman to allow the disinterment and re -interment of the human remains and to appoint the Iredell County Health Director to supervise the activities in this request and in future requests. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. (Note: The health director will have the authority to appoint a designee to act on his/her behalf to fulfill these responsibilities.) PUBLIC HEARINGS Chairman Johnson declared the meeting to be in a public hearing. CASE NO. 0304-1: Luther E. Campbell Requests that a Portion of Property be Rezoned from Highway Business to Residential Agricultural (Location: Mullis Road, adjacent to I-77, Harmony, N.C., PIN# 4863-244407) : Planning Supervisor Smith said Mr. Campbell desired to rezone 7.19 acres of a 14.70 acre tract. He said the existing land use was vacant and the surrounding uses were vacant and residential. Smith mentioned that in 1983, the property was rezoned from Residential Agricultural to Highway Business. He said a 150wide strip of property extending parallel with I-77 for a billboard would continue to have the Highway Business zoning. Smith said that on April 2, 2003, the Iredell County Planning Board unanimously voted in favor of the request. Mr. Luther Campbell said that due to health reasons, his granddaughter and her husband had been assisting him. He said that if the rezoning were approved, the couple would move to the property.
