REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF INTER -LOCAL AGREEMENT REGARDING
THE PERMITTING PROCESS (INSPECTIONS/PLANNING/ZONING, ETC.) FOR THE
MECK-NECK AREA: Attorney Pope said there were a number of items not addressed in the
legislation transferring the Meck-Neck land from Mecklenburg County to Iredell County. Among
these were the permits issued by Mecklenburg County, but were not completed by July I, 1998.
(Specifically, which county would complete the inspections and issue the certificates.) Pope
mentioned the agreement did not address septic tank permits, and he understood some had been
issued. Pope also mentioned that Meck-Neck was not technically zoned by Iredell County. After
a conversation with the planning supervisor, Pope said it was recommended that a temporary
moratorium on the issuance of permits be declared until a public hearing (August 4, 1998) could be
held.
