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.
