road access (McAllister Hill Lane) into the back and side properties, (2) the need for a
barrier or berm, and (3) not knowing what would be constructed on the property.
Attorney Cannon said the people in opposition at the planning board meeting had
asked if there would be any type of ponding or water collection that would be adverse to
the residents who lived south of the property. He said the owner would have to comply
and abide by any state and county regulations. Cannon said another person had a
concern about the property line. He said this was irrelevant to the request, but a survey
had been completed. Additionally, he said one individual was using a well that was
situated on the property owned by Superior Properties. Cannon said there was nothing
to indicate that anyone could use the well -- no recorded easements or contractual rights.
He said the developers would have to be good corporate citizens and abide by all
regulations.
Chairman Tice asked if a berm had been discussed.
Howard Bryan (real estate broker) said a buffer, in front of the Pinyan property,
was discussed at the planning board meeting. He said the county ordinance required a
buffer and there were a variety of options (fence, berm). In regards to the road issue, he
said the owners had been working with the Department of Transportation for the past two
years. He said traffic studies had been done and meetings had occurred with the Town of
Troutman and the county. Bryan said all road requirements would be met, and additional
information might be available in the next 30 days.
Chairman Tice said the county ordinance required a barrier between the
commercial and residential property.
Planning Supervisor Warren said there would be a screening requirement as soon
as the property was occupied. He said a six-foot high buffer, either a wall or berm,
should be placed along the length of the commercial property adjoining the residential
property.
Paula Hobbs (property owner towards the back) said her waterline ran across the
property. She said the property, where the well was located, once belonged to her
husband's family. Mrs. Hobbs asked, "What about my waterline?" She also asked,
"What about the well feeding my house?"
Chairman Tice said the survey would show who owned the Iand where the well
was situated. She said that if Ms. Hobbs was still dissatisfied, the well situation would
be a legal matter.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.

Chairman Tice declared the meeting to be in a public hearing.
Consideration of a Proposed Amendment to the Iredell County Zoning
Ordinance, Section 11.16 Signs Permitted Without a Permit Warren said this
request involved a text amendment about signage that had been staff initiated. He said
that due to the county attorney being absent, the request probably needed to be addressed
at another time. Warren said the request was to categorize volunteer fire and rescue
departments as governmental agencies in conjunction with sign regulations.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Tice closed the hearing.
