that unless a Thoroughfare Plan included impact fees that legislation was needed. She said in
reference to subdivisions that i f there was a road included in an adopted Thoroughfare Plan, it could
actually be specified that land would be dedicated to the State or to a local agency. In essence, the
developer would be required to construct the road. Allison said this was already included.
Commissioner Johnson said he understood the developer would be required to allocate a
certain monetary amount per acre for road construction. Montgomery said special legislation would
be needed. She also said impact fees were unpopular with developers.
Commissioner Fortner asked for an estimate on what the charge might be per acre.
Montgomery said this would be established on a local level. She said there was really not a formula,
but anything collected for road improvements had to directly benefit the subdivision. She said that
for road improvements, fees in lieu of buildings were not required.
Montgomery then reviewed the recommendations for public water and sewer and overlay
district regulations.
Public Water & Sewer
1. Mooresville's public water & sewer planning efforts should be supported.
2. Encourage Mooresville to continue its progress towards establishing a Capital
Improvement Plan for planning and constructing infrastructure improvements.
3. Discourage private package wastewater treatment plants and community wells in the
study area by planning and constructing infrastructure improvements. Encourage
approval of new subdivisions that are willing to connect to public sewer and water
or are willing to extend lines to connect with the system.
4. Encourage Mooresville and Iredell County to eliminate existing wastewater treatment
plants and private community wells by providing public water and sewer within
the Exit 33 area.
5. If the residential or business areas served by private and water facilities finds their
service is unsatisfactory, it is the recommendation of the committee that they pursue the
creation of service districts with the county.
Overlay District Regulations
Both Iredell County & Mooresville should develop specific small area plans and respective
overlay district regulations for each of the following areas to be Phase II of this plan:
• Immediate exit area of 33, including U.S. 21, Williamson and I-77 corridors.
• Historic area: church, hospital, and other adjacent areas.
• Mt. Mourne area.
• Industrial areas.
• Transit stop area along N.C. 115 and immediate area.
Note: The Land Use Plan Study Committee considers the Future Land Use Plan for
Exit 33, to be Phase 1 of the plan for the Exit 33 study area. The committee believes that Phase
11 must be a part of Phase L Phase I will not be complete until Phase II is undertaken and
implemented as quickly as possible.
Commissioner Bowles asked Smith if he envisioned a time when Mooresville's waste
treatment facility would not be able to accommodate large industries, etc., if a new industry located
at the Burlington Industries site. Smith said there was a possibility, but there was ample capacity
at the present. Bowles said he didn't want to approve anything that aided the outlying areas of
Mooresville but hurt the downtown area.
Montgomery said Mooresville was different from many municipalities. Other cities would
