received a map which indicated that all of her property was to be
considered as a "future planning area."
Commissioner Boone asked Mr. Allison to explain the purpose of
the land development plan. Allison stated that when the Planning
Dept. was notified about the new Hwy. 64 it became the County's
responsibility to identify intersections that could become
commercial. It is simply a mechanism to plan for future growth.
Commissioner Boone stated the process doesn't rezone anyone's
property. If a property owner in the future owns property that is
already designated commercial, it's more likely the request will be
granted.
Amos Smith advised that he had a 98 -acre farm on Hwy. 64 that
is landlocked. The State has a road up to the land; however, the
road is blocked with a gate that is locked. Mr. Jerry Lundy then
explained there is litigation occurring between Mr. Smith and the
DOT at this time. Mr. Lundy stated that the Third Creek Water
structure has nothing to do with the Land Development Plan that was
being discussed.
Wilma Babcock advised she owned 40 acres. The State
landlocked around 20 acres. She mentioned that one area is
landlocked and couldn't be rezoned commercial. The State has
informed Mrs. Babcock that it will not give a right-of-way. She
mentioned the land had been purchased for $1100 per acre. The
State offered to buy the land at $300 per acre.
Chairman Haire closed the public hearing.

PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE COOLEEMEE WATERSHED, WBIV(PA): Mr.
Allison said that in 1994, Iredell County was notified by the State
that the Environmental Management Commission had inadvertently
overlooked a watershed which was partially located in the eastern
portion of the County. This portion of the watershed is classified
as WSIV-PA (Protected Area) and extends into the County
approximately one mile covering 3,450 acres of mostly agricultural
land. On January 19, 1995, the Planning Board held a public
meeting to seek input and later unanimously recommended approval at
a February 1, 1995 meeting.
No one spoke in regard to this matter.
Chairman Haire adjourned the public hearing.

PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE IREDELL COUNTY WATERSHED
PROTECTION ORDINANCE i SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND PROPOSED CHANGES
TO EXISTING WATERSHEDS (CODDLE CREEK, HUNTING CREEK, BOUTS YADKIN,
i COOLEENEE)s Mr. Allison explained that on August 1, 1995, the
State amended the Watershed Act in an attempt to clarify certain
sections and give local ordinances more flexibility. Both the
Watershed and Subdivision Ordinances will need to reflect these
changes. The majority of the revisions are of little significance,
