Jackson said most of the conditions were now included in the Brawley School
Road Protection Overlay regulations, and the owners were requesting their elimination
(duplicates) with the exception of the following two:
*Road and sidewalk connectivity be required between residential and non-
residential land uses.
*Driveway entrances shall be limited to one on Brawley School Road and two
on Blume Road depending on a determination by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation.
Ms. Jackson said the request would align the conditions on the McKay property
with the other properties in the area. She said the staff recommended approval, and the
planning board voted in favor of the request by a vote of 10-0 on August 4, 2004.
Jim Creech said he represented the McKay family and the request basically
asked for the property to be covered by the same conditions as other properties in the
area.
Stan Thompson, a resident of Beaten Path Road, off Blume Road, asked for
more detail pertaining to the conditions to be eliminated. He asked if the Mooresville
town planners had reviewed the request. Thompson said he was concerned that a
"heavily lighted gas station" might be placed in the area, and this would harm his
neighborhood.
