Allison advised that Health Management Associates was requesting approval of a high density

the applicant to exceed the 24% built -upon maximum allowance in the Watershed, yet not to exceed
70% total built -upon (buildings, parking, sidewalks, etc.). The applicants have submitted a phased
plan and propose to build on 49% of the total tract. The high density option requires that the
applicant build and maintain a wet detention pond capable of removing 851/o of the total suspended
solids from a one inch rainfall. The pond must be bonded and inspected annually. Allison further
said the planning staff had found the request complied with the minimum guidelines of the code and

$50,000 FOR WEST IREDELL VFD: Chuck Gallyon, the County Fire Marshal, had explained
during the agenda briefing that a budget amendment would allow the fire department to purchase
a new truck. The truck would not arrive until next year, but the department needs to get the pumper
tanker ordered,
It was noted in the Fire Commission minutes that formula -based funding had been discussed.
The commissioners asked Gallyon about any progress made on this type of funding. Gallyon said
there wasn't a "magic formula." He mentioned the value of the districts, the number of calls, and
that other items had been reviewed, but there was not a concrete formula.
