13. Request for Approval of the September 19, 2006 Minutes
END OF CONSENT AGENDA --
Request from Chas. H. Sells, Inc., Representing Victor A. Johnson Jr., and Brian R.
Harwell for the Release of Zoning and Subdivision Jurisdiction (ETJ) to the Town of
Mooresville for 106.8259 Acres (PIN#4676208578) (Location: Highway 3 east of
Mooresville): Deputy Planning Director Steve Warren said this request was reviewed by the staff
and the necessary documentation had been obtained from the Town of Mooresville. He said the
property had a county -zoning classification of residential agricultural, and the applicant proposed a
single family residential subdivision. Warren said the site consisted of several parcels and was
located at the intersection of Coddle Creek Road and Rocky River Road. He said information from
Mooresville indicated that utilities had been approved and annexation would be considered in June
of 2007. Mr. Warren said the staff recommended approval of the release.
Commissioner Williams asked how many houses could be built upon the 106 acres.
Warren said under the county's jurisdiction there would be fewer homes. He said
speculatively, that a single-family residential classification in Mooresville, with a minimum lot size
of 20,000 sq. ft., might yield as many of 200 home sites.
Williams asked Mooresville's maximum.
Warren said Mooresville had lot size requirements ranging from 20,000 to 8,000 sq. ft.
He said that no matter what type of size requirement, that a portion would have to be designated for
infrastructure and other public amenities.
Commissioner Johnson said that whatever happened between the developer and the Town
of Mooresville, that it would occur irrespective of any action by the Iredell commissioners.
Chairman Tice agreed.
Commissioner Williams said he understood the property would be annexed, but the
Mooresville School officials had recently advised of the system's fast growth rate. He said, in fact,
this system was growing faster than Iredell-Statesville, and any action to slow the growth, by six
months or a year, would help. He said the proposed development could produce 200 or more new
students, and Mooresville was having difficulty accommodating its present enrollment. Williams
said he desired to allow Mooresville time to catch up.
OTIO by Chairman Tice to grant the release of zoning/subdivision jurisdiction to
the Town of Mooresville due to fact that the applicant had petitioned the Town for annexation and
utilities.
Commissioner Johnson said delaying the project six months would not accomplish that
much. He said the IredeIl commissioners did not have any direct control over the Town of
Mooresville' annexations.
