Commissioner Stewart said she had heard several people mention
during the evening that they had a problem with two governing
bodies administering the plan. Stewart said she felt this would
complicate matters. Mrs. Stewart mentioned she had questions about
the motion. She had reservations about voting on something that
had just been presented to her prior to the meeting.
Commissioner Madison mentioned he had problems with the whole
process. He mentioned that he sometimes thought that planning was
just a "buzzword" or a politically correct word that just meant,
"Hey, I'm going to take your private property rights away."
Madison said he was a strong advocate of private property rights
and people being represented by the proper governmental body. He
said he had no problem with Mooresville taking over the
jurisdiction as long as the people wanted this to happen. He said
to him the proposal (motion) that had just been presented would
complicate the issue more than resolve it. Madison said he would
like to put the plan in a referendum for the people on the
peninsula. Mr. Madison referred to the recent bond vote and his
position on this matter; however, the people decided. "The county
is not set up to be a municipality -- it's a county government."
Mr. Madison said it appeared that the Board was trying to become a
hybrid. It appears that the plan is a good one, but who
administers it is the question. Let the people decide in November
what they want to do with the plan.
