ZONING OF THE MECK NECK AREA INTO R-20 SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (LOW DENSITY -SINGLE FAMILY) AND TO AMEND THE
IREDELL COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN: Planning Supervisor Allison said the
planning board had a special meeting on July 29, 1998 for the purpose of establishing a zoning
classification for the Meck Neck area. The planning board made the following recommendation.
*Amend the Iredell County Land Development Plan to include the Meck Neck area as low
density -single family and zone it to R-20, Single Family Residential District.
Commissioner Boone addressed the audience and said that, basically, the overlay sections
of the Land Use Plan applying to the lake area would automatically apply to the Meck Neck area,
if approved. (This has to do with setbacks and lot sizes.)
Commissioner Stewart asked Allison if any properties were vested. Allison said the answer
was no pertaining to vesting for minimum lot sizes and setbacks. However, there were several
existing building permits and these would be considered vested.
Dick Handshaw: (Advocate of the R-20 designation as proposed by the county planning
board and office.) Advised that he lived on Yacht Road in southern Iredell County. He mentioned
he attended the planning board meeting and felt Iredell's recommendation was more restrictive than
Mecklenburg's zoning classification. He mentioned that Mecklenburg only had six foot setbacks,
on some property lines, and that Iredell's fifteen foot setback was better.
