area.
Chairman Haire said Crescent Resources was developing 900 lots at the end of Brawley
School Road.
Commissioner Huffman asked if Iredell County had impact fees. Chairman Haire said she
understood impact fees were illegal without special legislation. It was mentioned that a local bill
had been adopted for Cabarrus County and it was now using impact fees.
Chairman Hallman said impact fees would probably work better if several counties agreed
to enact them.
Commissioner Wilson said it cost $15,000 to tap on to water sewer lines in Mecklenburg
County.
Chairman Hibbitts said grants might be available and that maybe a regional project could be
done.
Commissioner Fortner said she would like to pursue a regional water sewer district around
the lake area.
Commissioner Ikerd said the lake area was having septic problems. He said, "It's no longer
if you're going to have a problem. It's when you're going to have a problem."
Chairman Hibbitts said that perhaps the North Carolina Association of County
Commissioners or the Institute of Government could help in formulatiAg a legislative bill for a
water sewer district.
Lake Norman Marine Commission
Commissioner Beatty expressed praise for the marine commission. She said the organization
was looking at inspection fees for boats, and the fees would be used to offset law enforcement
costs.
Commissioner Brotherton voiced concern about the Centralina Council of Governments'
usage of one-third of the marine commission's budget for administration.
Commissioner Johnson said many people in Iredell did not own a boat, but these same people
were subsidizing the lake patrol. He added that the commission was working with each county
sheriff on the boating inspection program. He also said a local legislative bill would need passage
before the inspection program could begin.
Chairman Haire also praised the marine commission. She said the organization did not have
much authority, and it operated on a small budget.
