The location of the property is on Foothills Drive off Taylorsville Hwy/NC 90; more specifically identified as a portion of Lots 23 & 24, Block A, of Iredell County Tax Map 9E. On December 4, 1996, the Planning Board unanimously recommended approval by a 9-0 vote. No one spoke in favor/opposition to this matter. Chairman Haire adjourned the public hearing. MOTION by Commissioner Boone to rezone a portion of the property from RA, Residential Agricultural to GB, General Business District. VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0. Chairman Haire declared the meeting to be in public hearing session. REZONING REQUEST: THOMAS S. WILSON PROPERTY, CASE NO. 9612-2: Planning Supervisor Allison said the applicant desired to rezone a portion of the property from Residential Office Conditional Use District to Residential Office District. The proposed mixed usage would be for multi -family dwellings and offices. The location of the property is on River Hwy/NC 150 at McCrary Road; more specifically identified as portion of Lot 1, Block C, of Iredell County Tax Map 2P. Allison mentioned that on January 3, 1995, the commissioners rezoned a portion of the property to residential office with a condition to not exceed 120 dwelling units. The planning staff has no objections to the current request (add up to 80 more dwelling units); however, the acquisition of utilities is important for a project of this size. On December 4, 1996, the Planning Board unanimously recommended approval by a 9-0 vote. Commissioner Boone asked if it would be necessary to have a municipal or package sewage system for a project of this size. Allison said the density involved would require something other than septic tanks. (It would take a system permitted by the State.) Thomas Wilson (owner of property) advised he would be happy to respond to any questions. Commissioner Johnson asked about a concern of a neighbor (1995) about possible sewage problems. Johnson asked what arrangements were being made. Wilson said an agreement was pending with Mid -South to provide a commercial sewage treatment facility. Commissioner Fortner asked if any construction work had been done. Wilson said that none had been done. The plans are just now being finalized. The applicant said he was just asking for the latitude to change or mix the number of dwelling units vs. office space. ,JAN 0 71997 593
