CALL TO ORDER by Chairman Tice.
CONSIDERATION OF A FARMLAND PRESERVATION ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT (Section 502.1): Jim Dobson, Chairman of the Farmland Preservation
Board, joined the county planners to discuss this amendment. Dobson said many bona
fide farm operations, such as poultry and tobacco, were not eligible to participate in the
program due to low acreages. He said the amendment would assist these types of
farming operations.
Planning Supervisor Warren said the smaller farms, at times, could use the
ordinance's protection.
(The complete amendment is located in the regular minutes.)
REQUEST FOR A RELEASE OF ZONING & SUBDIVISION
JURISDICTION (ETJ) FOR CRESCENT RESOURCES TO THE TOWN OF
TROUTMAN (PERTH ROAD, TROUTMAN, NC): Planner Rebecca Harper said
Crescent Resources had applied for a release of zoning/subdivision jurisdiction due to a
planned development near Perth and Autumn Leaf Roads in Troutman. She said
Crescent's tract of land consisted of 505 acres; however, only 350 acres were involved
in the request due to the remainder (155 acres) already being within the Town's
jurisdiction. Mrs. Harper said Crescent planned to construct a residential development
on the property.
Commissioner Robertson said the request was a "textbook" example of growth
occurring before infrastructure needs were met.
Interim Troutman Town Manager David Saleeby said Crescent had asked for
annexation, as had the property owner across the road (Broome property).
Commissioner Norman asked if any green space or potential school areas had
been designated on the property.
Saleeby said there was nothing included for schools.
(This item was further discussed at the 7 p.m. meeting.)

members about the Independence Day Parade scheduled in Troutman, N.C., on
Saturday, July 1, 2006.
