PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
Alan Boyce, of 119 Lightship Drive, Mooresville, NC (off Brawley School Road) said he
was a board member of The Point Homeowners Association and the Growth Study Commission.
Boyce voiced concerns about the March 6 decision to release zoning authority to Mooresville of
three lots on the Brawley School Road. He said Mooresville would probably annex the 30 acres,
and numerous people would be impacted. Boyce said these same citizens would then have to
appear before Mooresville officials regarding land use matters. He said no notification had been
given to the community about the release request, but he understood new procedures had been
adopted effective March 1. Mr. Boyce stressed the importance of notifying affected property
owners when a zoning jurisdiction release was being considered.
Commissioner Johnson suggested that the planning department send an e-mail to the
Growth Study Commission when similar requests were presented. He said this would be a "safety
valve."
Acting Planning Director Steve Warren said a new policy had been implemented as of
March 1, and the first case falling under the new guidelines would be presented on April 3.
Warren said the staff now (1) posted a sign (2) published legal notices (3) sent letters to adjoining
property owners and (4) held a public hearing. He said additionally, if a zoning release request
in/around the Brawley School Road were submitted, the staff would notify the Growth Study
Commission.
NEW BUSINESS
Building Permits: Commissioner Johnson said a conversation with the Inspections Director
revealed that the commercial building permit backlog had decreased, and a part of increase had
been due to builders trying to obtain permits before building code changes were enacted. He said
the conversation also revealed that from March 20, 2005 to March 19, 2006, 363 commercial
building permits were issued compared to the issuance of 657 commercial building permits from
March 20, 2006 to March 19, 2007.
COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT: County Manager Joel Mashburn distributed a
