PROPOSED ZONING OF PROPERTY LYING BETWEEN THE LAKE NORMAN 760 CONTOUR AND THE COUNTY LINES:
This item of business was continued from the April 1, 1986 meeting when the public hearing was
advertised; however, this matter was inadvertently left off the April 1, 1986 agenda. The public
hearing was opened and continued until the April 15th meeting when it appeared on the formal agenda.
Mr. Lundy, planning director, identified the property on the zoning map, which currently lies
between the 760 contour line and the center of Catawba River, which is the county line. The
planning board recommends that this property be added to the county's zoning districts and be
classified as R-20 in its entirety. Mr. Lundy said R-20 classification gives the board of commis-
sioners and the planning board maximum review for treatment of problems in this area before they
arise. Mr. Lundy says legal notices have been run and everything is in order for board action. He
recommends if the board favorably approves the zoning as proposed that at the same time the board
should lift the moratorium on issuance of building permits on islands within the bounds of Iredell
County.
In response to a question from Chairman Hedrick regarding the number of islands in the Iredell
County area, Mr. Lundy said there are three in private ownership and another six or eight that
belong to Crescent Land & Timber Corp.
No one from the public spoke regarding this proposal.
HISTORIC PROPERTIES ORDINANCE - PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: Mr. Wayne Deal, County Manager, said this
is an ordinance that has been amended. He said he thinks in essence it accomplishes what is
necessary for the county to have a historical properties ordinance.
Mrs. Pat Crooks, Chairman of the Historical Properties Commission, was present to discuss this
ordinance with the board.
Chairman Hedrick asked why the ordinance addresses the county, Mooresville, and Troutman and
does not address the other zoning jurisdictions.
Mr. Bill Pope, County Attorney, said Statesville has its own commission, and Mrs. Crooks said
Harmony and Love Valley wish to be excluded from the ordinance.
Mrs. Crooks gave a brief review of the ordinance. She said it empowered the historical proper-
ties commission, which is appointed by the Iredell County Board of Commissioners and the Town Boards
in the zoning jurisdictions that are listed in the ordinance (Mooresville and Troutman) to preserve
and safeguard the heritage of Iredell County. The commission operates under the auspices of the
county beard of commissioners as well as the State of North Carolina.
Mr. Bill Pope, County Attorney, said the procedure used by the historical properties commission
to safeguard the heritage of Iredell County is that the commission itself recommends a property that
is of historical, cultural, orarcheological significance to the county commissioners (or Troutman,
or Mooresville). These respective boards can declare a historic property.
