CALL TO ORDER by Chairman Norman
REQUEST FROM THE TOWN OF TROUTMAN FOR APPROVAL OF A
RESOLUTION SEEKING THE LEGISLATURE TO EXEMPT THE TOWN FROM THE
TEN PERCENT (10%) SATELLITE ANNEXATION CAP: Troutman Town Manager
David Saleeby said water and sewer service had been provided to the Exit 42 area by the
municipality and many residential and commercial requests were being made for voluntary
satellite annexation. He said that in accordance with state law; however, the town did not have
enough contiguous land acreage for a satellite annexation. Saleeby said through special
legislation, many towns and cities had been released from the legislative annexation cap of ten
percent, and on September 13, 2007, the Troutman Board of Aldermen adopted a resolution
formally asking for this type of release. He said a similar resolution was needed from Iredell
County in order for the General Assembly to act upon the request next year.
Commissioner Johnson asked for additional information regarding the annexation
requests.
Saleeby said the requests could be broken down to about 40% residential and 60% from
commercial developers. He said the Town's police department responded to calls at the Exit 42
Lowes Hardware site, while across the road at the Wilco Station, the county's sheriffs
department provided the law enforcement.
NOTE: This item was listed as an appointment before the board at the 7 P.M. meeting;
however, due to having board consensus, the resolution request was placed on the consent
agenda.
All other agenda items were then summarized, and additional information may be found
in the regular minutes.
ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Norman adjourned the briefing at 5:55 P.M.
