through the subdivision review committee would be grandfathered or vested. He noted the curb and
gutter amendment would apply to all areas of the county.
Jerry Santoni presented slides of his Lake Norman property. He said one tract bordered a
cove and another was across the street with both of them being connected with a culvert pipe. Mr.
Santoni had the following to say about the stormwater issue:
■ Stormwater effected everyone,
■ Stormwater was dangerous and powerful,
■ Stormwater created safety & health hazards, and
■ Residential landscaping also created problems.
Santoni said he had contacted over 25 different federal, state, and county offices, along with
other agencies about his stormwater problems, but there wasn't anything that could assist him.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.

The subdivision amendment is as follows:
Section 405.7.1 (Curb & Gutter)
Curb & Gutter
When a proposed subdivision exceeds 15 lots, where there is a topographic need (such as steep
slopes) and a public benefit will be realized, or where an adjoining subdivision already has curb and gutter
in place, the Committee may recommend to the Subdivision Administrator where curb and gutter (designed
in accordance with NCDOT specifications) shall be required. Curb and gutter development shall only be
permitted when 50% or more of the stormwater run-off is discharged into an on-site perennial or annual
stream as determined by the most recent version of the U.S.G.S. topographic maps. No run-off may directly
discharge into Lake Norman, Lookout Shoals Lake, or the Catawba River. In addition, the developer, or his
agent, shall submit a surface water drainage plan, as drawn by a design professional, containing topography
and depicting the natural drainage of the property prior to development.
The zoning ordinance (relevant section) will be written as follows:
Section 15.1 Zoning and Grading Permits Required
1. Zoning Permit
No land shall be used or occupied and no building hereafter structurally altered, erected, or moved,
shall be used, or its use changed, until a Zoning Permit shall have been issued by the Zoning
Administrator stating that the building and/or the proposed use thereof complies with the provisions of
this Ordinance. No Building Permit shall be issued and no building shall be occupied until that Permit is
issued. A record of all Permits shall be kept on file in the office of the Zoning Administrator and copies
shall be furnished, on request, to any persons having a proprietary or tenancy interest in the use or
building. The Zoning Administrator shall collect such fees for the issuance of Zoning Permits as are
authorized by the fee schedule as adopted by the Board of Commissioners. The issuance of a valid
Zoning Permit shall confer with it the right to undertake and complete the development and/or use of
property under the terms and conditions of such Permit provided that such action as authorized by the
Permit is commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days of issuance and provided that all other
permits are obtained. Otherwise the Permit shall be void.
