Allison said that when development occurred in a particular area the developers/property owners
started to request water/sewer. When this happens, satellite annexations start to occur. Some
businesses/residences are already built that do not need services. The properties being requested by
Mooresville are primarily the ones that didn't need services - - Mooresville grew up around them.
Commissioner Bowles asked the options for the property owners if the request were denied,
and they at some point desired to be under Mooresville's jurisdiction. Allison said the owner could
request release from the County or pursue a satellite annexation with the Town of Mooresville. If
the latter occurred, Allison said County approval was not necessary.
Chairman Haire asked Mr. Allison's recommendation on the request. Allison said that by
looking at the request from strictly a planning/land use standpoint, that it was necessary to look at
what was in the best interest of the most number of people as opposed to individual properties.
Allison said he would recommend approval.
MOTION by Chairman Haire to accept the recommendation of the county planning
supervisor and grant Mooresville's request for zoning jurisdiction of the properties located on
Williamson Road and Brawley School Road.
Commissioner Bowles said he didn't feel comfortable voting for the request. Mr. Bowles
said he had no objections in granting the release to the properties in favor, e.g., Wachovia Bank, but
as far as a group decision, he could not vote for the request.
Commissioner Fortner asked if Mooresville could automatically obtain extra -territorial
jurisdiction in June. Chairman Haire said Mooresville typically did annexations on June 30`h of
each year. She said Mooresville could annex the property if requested by the owner.
Commissioner Johnson said he had a problem in surrendering zoning jurisdiction if the
property owner could not vote for/against the official that decided the usage of the property.

REQUEST FROM L. GORDON IRON & METAL COMPANY FOR
REFUND/CREDIT AND RATE REDUCTION: The county manager said a request had been
received from this company requesting either a refund or credit on tipping fees. Mashburn said the
company contended that past charges were not in accordance with an agreement approved in 1994.
Mr. Mashburn said the staff had presented information asserting the present fee did concur with
past arrangements. He said the staff felt the rate that had been charged, for a significant period of
time when the baler was bypassed, had not been applied appropriately. (It did not meet the
conditions of the 1994 agreement.)
