REQUEST FROM TOWN OF MOORESVILLE FOR THE EXTENSION OF ITS EXTRA-
TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION TO INCLUDE THE AREA SURROUNDING THE PROPOSED
NEW LAKE NORMAN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER AT EXIT 33/1-77: Town Commissioner
Bob Randall stated that people owning property near the new hospital site wanted water and sewer. He
mentioned that if the town annexed this site it would have county zoning and the area would be
nonconforming with Mooresville's zoning.
Commissioner Johnson asked about protection for the residential sections. Randall said the Town
wouldn't arbitrarily change the zoning unless there was a request. The Town would try to protect the
residential areas; however, he anticipated voluntary annexations. He mentioned that commercial areas
abutting residential sections were required to follow stipulated conditions.
Johnson asked when the Town planned to annex the area. Town Manager McLean said it would
depend on how much property came involuntarily, Randall said he hoped the water and sewer lines would
be completed for the hospital by the fall of 1998.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUDGET GRANT
ADJUSTMENTS: Mrs. Blumenstein described the health department adjustments. Ray Rabe, the health
director, added that the adjustments made a decrease in county funding by $17,000.
Commissioner Johnson asked the turnaround time for septic tank inspections. Kelly Sheeks,
Environmental Supervisor, said it was around a week in Statesville. In Mooresville, the inspections can
be done within the same week of the request.
CELLULAR TOWERS: Mr. Mashburn mentioned that Centralina Council of Governments was
working with the county's planning department on cellular tower guidelines.
Chairman Haire said she had received a call in reference to the Rhinehardt Road tower. The caller
had mentioned the possibility of Iredell County leasing space on the tower for "piggybacking." Mr.
Mashburn said he would need to discuss this with Larry Dickerson, file Communications Director.
