requested this be done. Weisner reported that during the last revaluation, about six percent of the
property owners appealed. The reval preceding the last one had a seven percent appeal rate. He
mentioned the industry standard was about ten percent.
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) LISTING: William Allison,
the planning supervisor, reminded the board that on February 16, 1999, 4:00 - 8:00 p.m., at the
Mooresville Citizens Center, the Department of Transportation would hold a public hearing about
the District 12 TIP. Allison said there were six counties in this district and there was high
competition for the funds.
Commissioner Fortner said she felt the board of commissioners needed to become proactive
regarding road needs. Chairman Haire said that in the past, the local DOT Board representative (Ann
Gaither), had suggested that all governing bodies in Iredell develop one priority plan. This was
done. Haire said that Iredell County's inability to obtain road improvements was not due to
dissension between the various governments.
Allison shared the following information which reveals the most recent TIP listing adopted
by the board.
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN (TIP)
#1 - U.S. 21/1-40 Interchange
#2 - Brawley School Road (SR 1100) (Interchange and Widening)
#3 - U.S. Hwy. 70
#4 - Connector Road for Mazeppa and Cornelius Roads to route traffic from the industrial
parks directly to a new I-77 interchange
#5 - Widen U.S. 21 (From Troutman to Barium Springs)
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to retain the same TIP priority list.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
MODULAR HOUSING: Allison said there were still some neighborhoods interested in
R-20 zoning. The following information was shared about trends occurring in other counties with
mobile home regulations.
0 The restricting of single wides from certain zoning districts.
0 The requirement of brick or masonry underpinning for all double wides.
0 Increasing the age limit on mobile homes brought into certain jurisdictions.
0 Allowing older mobile homes to be relocated only in established mobile home parks.
Allison said Wilkes, Burke, Yadkin, Anson, and Rowan Counties did not have any
restrictions on mobile homes. Cabarrus County has the most stringent standards, (appearance
criteria, restrictions on the number of lots in a subdivision, and other restrictions).
Consensus of the board that the rules and regulations currently in use for manufactured
housing are adequate. It was mentioned, however, that the board might review the current age
limitation (1976) in the future.
NOTE. Iredell County Code Section 3.18 Mobile Home HUD Requirements reads as follows:
'No mobile home ofany class shall be permitted to be placed within ihejurisdiction of this ordinance (or moved
and placed if already within the jurisdiction of this ordinance) unless it was constructed after Jane 13, 1976, and unless
it meets or exceeds the construction standards promulgated by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) that were in eject at the time of construction. "
ANNEXATION - ETJ: Allison shared a one-page excerpt from a book entitled, Legislative
Zoning Decisions, from the Institute of Government. The handout described municipalities and
extraterritorial police -power authority.
Commissioner Johnson said he understood that some of the board members wanted
organized government, but he still contended that all county citizens should have the right to vote
