with the May 23, 2006 Briefing and Regular Minutes
w______ ----END OF CONSENT AGENDA-------- - ---------
Request for a Release of Zoning & Subdivision Jurisdiction (ETJ) to the
Town of Troutman for Property (Perth Road, Troutman, NC) Owned by Crescent
Resources): Planner Rebecca Harper said Crescent Resources had requested the
zoning/subdivision release of 350 acres, out of a 505 acre tract (PIN#4730-76-7928) to
the Town of Troutman. She said 155 acres of the parcel were already within the
Town's extraterritorial jurisdiction. Mrs. Harper said the county's land use plan
designated the property for residential development, and Crescent desired to construct a
subdivision (Streamwood at Falls Cove) on the site. Additionally, Harper said
Troutman had approved water and sewer extension for the development, but annexation
needed to occur first. She said the request met the criteria for a release of jurisdiction,
and the planning staff recommended approval.
Commissioner Williams said the board last month agreed to scrutinize
subdivisions differently in the future. He said the 532 -unit development would "tax"
the schools system, the fire service and other services. Mr. Williams said that if the
request were denied, there would only be about a six-month delay, but at least it would
be sending a message.
Commissioner Robertson voiced concerns also, especially about Perth Road and
the lack of other roads for ingress and egress. He said eventually, the subdivision
would get built, and when this happened, citizens would start telephoning about the
congested road and their children being taught in mobile classrooms. Mr. Robertson
said the county needed time to address school needs.
Commissioner Johnson said a denial would basically be "symbolic." He
emphasized the county had no control over the roads, and he mentioned that much of
the Brawley School Road situation had been caused by the Town of Mooresville.
Johnson said that whatever action was taken, the board needed to be consistent.
Commissioner Norman said he, too, felt that the infrastructure should be in place
before any subdivisions of this magnitude were approved.
OTIO by Commissioner Williams to deny Crescent Resources' request for
the release of 350 acres to the Town of Troutman's zoning/subdivision jurisdiction.
