Chairman Haire called the meeting to order.
RRAWLEY sCROOL ROAD LAND DEVELOPMENT FLAN: William Allison
stated this plan, which is a district plan, has stricter
subdivision and development standards than the present County plan.
Rick McLean, Town Manager, advised that a few years ago
residents of this area came before the Town Board seeking
assistance with water sewer. The Town had the plan developed and
is now seeking an endorsement.
Commissioner Johnson said his concerns did not center directly
on the plan. He has concerns, if the plan is approved, about
citizens in this area not having the ability to vote for officials
that would be making decisions for them.
Commissioner Boone stated that the County currently has a
"cookie cutter" type of Land Development Plan. The appropriate
plan for Union Grove might not necessarily be right for
Mooresville.
Erskine Smith, Mooresville Planning Director, said the
citizens of this area were demanding more and more services. He
predicted a more urban type of development to occur.
Commissioner Stewart stated that in essence Mooresville would
have control of the development before the services were provided.
Smith concurred.
Stewart asked if it was true that anyone receiving water sewer
would have to sign for voluntary annexation. Smith replied that
any citizen requesting water sewer has to sign for voluntary
annexation.
Smith advised that three public hearings (one was held on the
peninsula) had been held about the plan. Several newspapers have
published articles about the matter.
Commissioner Boone mentioned that a problem he saw in the plan
was the high population density. He mentioned the congested road
conditions.
