(3) General Liability - with the exclusion of environmental impairment
Mr. Bailey said his recommendation was that the county had a pretty sound ordinance with
the exception of a few word changes that Miss Beckham had addressed about who is the
contractor and who is the receiver of the insurance funds. He made this recommendation
from a risk management standpoint.
Miss Beckham said she had sent a copy of the information from the Camp, Dresser &
McKee firm to Mr. Jerry Davenport for his review. After a discussion of the information
from Camp, Dresser & McKee, it was the consensus of the board that this information, along
with the copy of the ordinance from Forsyth County, should be discussed with Mr. Jerry
Davenport, and a meeting to do this was set up for July 2, 1985, 5:00 p.m. This would be
a work session with Jerry Davenport; Camp, Dresser, and McKee representative; and anyone
else that wishes to attend. (Note: This meeting date later scheduled for July 11, 1985,
5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., County Annex Conference Room. This was due to a conflict on
Mr. Davenport's calendar when Miss Beckham telephoned him during the break in the
meeting.)
The Chairman requested Miss Beckham to draw up some comments about the differences in
the two proposed ordinances (Iredell and Forsyth's) and make some recommendations to the
board prior to the meeting with Mr. Davenport. It was suggested that the county
commissioners go by the planning office and discuss this matter with Miss Beckham.
MOTION from Commissioner Crosswhite to recess this public hearing until July 2, 1985, ---
7:30 p.m., Agricultural Center Conference Rooms 1 and 2.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR REZONING FROM CRESCENT LAND AND TIMBER COMPANY:
(complete transcript)
Item 3 in your agenda is the consideration of a rezoning request from Crescent Land &
Timber, which is memo M2.
Lisa Beckham: This request comes fro Crescent Land & Timber to rezone property
located on Mecklyn Road. This is I-77. This is the Mecklenburg County Line. This
property is reached by access road called Mecklyn Road. The tax map doesn't show it, but
it parallels Lhe inter -state her., off Langtree Road. It's just about as far south as you
can go in Iredell County. It is 31 acres, presently zoned residential/agricultural. They
are requesting a highway business zoning. This is Transco across the inter -state which is
zoned light manufacturing with some warehousing (not clear). I brought copies of the
highway/business district for your information as to the types of uses that are allowed in
highway/business.
This tract (not clear) north boundary is property owned by Joe Knox of Mooresville.
This is an estate here. There has been no opposition to the request. The planning board
voted unanimously to approve the request. This site here was the former site of the
Robert E. Lee riverboat. This site here, 31 acres, is proposed for highway/business.
Miles Boyer of Crescent Land & Timber is here to answer any questions you have
specific to this proposal.
HEDRICK: This request is from Crescent Land & Timber Corporation?
BECKHAM: That's correct. They own it.
HEDRICK: Are they planning to develop the land for the purpose that is listed here,
that is commercial recreation?
BECKHAM: Yes. They have a proposal, I think it's a lease agreement for four acres,
with a developer to put in an attraction that I think would be called the Robert E. Lee
Riverboat again. That would be four acres out of the 31 acres. That's my understanding.
This is allowed in the highway/business district as an outdoor commerical recreation
facility.
HEDRICK: Mr. Boyer, what is planned for the additional 27 acres at this time that
would be included in the 31 acres? If you took four acres for the riverboat, is there any
specific plans for the other 27 acres?
BOYER: No, there is not. In terms of, I think you mean a specific project. No.
The riverboat is the only specific project now identified.
