ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
REQUEST FROM LANDCRAFT PROPERTIES, INC., FOR THE RELEASE OF
THE J.R. CURTIS ESTATE PROPERTY TO THE TOWN OF MOORESVILLE FOR
EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION: Attorney John Freeman said he was requesting that
Iredell County release 197 acres to the Town of Mooresville for zoning authority (extraterritorial).
Freeman described the property as being on the south side of Rocky River Road, at the intersection
of Kistler Road. He mentioned the property was in the Mooresville Graded School District, and the
owners planned to petition the Town of Mooresville for voluntary annexation. Freeman further said
his client (Landcraft Properties) planned to develop the property as a single-family residential
subdivision with a density of slightly under three units per acre. A request for R-6 conditional
zoning will be made to the Town of Mooresville. The homes will vary in price with an average cost
to be about $140,000. Mr. Freeman said the Town of Mooresville voted on October 5, 1998 to
extend utilities to the area.
Commissioner Fortner asked if this would be a satellite annexation. Freeman said yes.
Scott Stover, one of the developers, said the property was bordered by a creek on two sides,
and there would be much common area.
Carolyn Stallings, one of the estate heirs, said the family had received a good offer front
Landcraft, Inc. She mentioned the family needed to sell off some of the property in order to retain
other properties. Mrs. Stallings said her step -mother lived at the "home place." She also said there
