REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF JURISDICTION: LandCraft Properties, Inc.
Requests Release of Jurisdiction, to the Town of Mooresville, of a 206 -acre Tract of Land
Located on the north side of NC Highway 150 (east of Mooresville between Hwy 801 &
Wiggins Rd.): Planning Supervisor Allison said the developer (LandCraft, Inc.) was requesting
zoning jurisdiction release of a 206 acre tract of land to the Town of Mooresville. The property is
located within 1,400 feet of Mooresville's corporate limits and has approximately 2,000 feet of road
frontage already in the Town's extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction (ETJ). Currently, the property
has no access other than N.C. Highway 150 which is controlled by Mooresville. The proposed
subdivision is in compliance with the Town's Land Use and Capital Improvement Plan for future
development.
John Freeman. Attorney for LandCraft Properties, Inc., said his client had a contract to
purchase the property. Freeman said a portion ofthe property was already included in Mooresville's
ETJ. He said LandCraft intended to build a single-family, moderately -priced development and ask
the Town of Mooresville for R-8 zoning Freeman said R-8 zoning would allow 2.7 units per acre.
lie said it would take four to five years before the project could be completely finished. Out of the
200 acres, approximately 60 would be left as "green space" This space would cover about three-
fourths of the project's boundary and the other section would have a 50 -foot undisturbed buffer.
Freeman said the property was in Mooresville's capital improvement area for future water and sewer
development.
