Present: Chairman Sara K. Haire Vice Chairman Steve D. Johnson Tommy E. Bowles Alice T. Fortner Alice M.

DISCUSSION/ACTION IN REFERENCE TO PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE CHANGES REQUESTED BY THE LAKE NORMAN MARINE COMMISSION REGARDING PIER CONSTRUCTION AND LOCATION: After Planning Supervisor William Allison explained two rezoning matters, he then discussed requests from the Lake Norman Marine Commission for amendments to the county's zoning ordinance regarding pier construction and location. Allison said the marine commission was trying to achieve the same regulations in all seven of the governing jurisdictions for the lake. Mr. Allison cited the differences between the county's regulations and what the marine commission had requested. He said the marine commission was recommending that property owners be allowed to build piers 120 feet in length no matter what the water depth happened to be. The county's code says this can only occur if the property owner cannot reach 10 feet of water depth when exceeding 80 feet of pier. Another problem expressed by Allison was that the county would have a difficult time enforcing some of the commission's requests. He gave two examples and one was: "No boat docked at such pier shall be located outside the pier zone. " The second example dealt with "homeowner documents." Allison said that if the "documents" were recorded in "covenants," the planning staff could not enforce them. He said that if the marine commission's requests were approved, a subdivision ordinance amendment would be needed. Allison said he didn't know why the commission was making the requests, other than for consistency. He said boat owners only needed three feet of water for boat launching. Mr. Allison said he was willing to attend a marine commission meeting to share his concerns if the board of commissioners requested him to do so. Chairman Haire asked if Duke Power's "Shoreline Management Guidelines" would override the county's ordinance. Allison said no. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF RECYCLING ROLL -OFF CONTAINER BIDS: Purchasing Agent Caldwell said that on November 30, 1999, bids were opened for eleven recycling roll-offcontainers. Six bidders responded and Baker Waste Equipment had the lowest bid ($42,600). Caldwell said $43,000 had been budgeted. Solid Waste Director Weatherman said the county was currently using Baker containers, and he was pleased with them. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THREE (3) LEASE AGREEMENT EXTENSIONS FOR PROPERTIES RECENTLY PURCHASED FOR LANDFILL. EXPANSION: County Manager Mashburn said leases had been executed in April of this year for William Summers, Betty Adams, and Maxine Thompson. The leases were written after the county bought their properties for landfill expansion. Adams and Thompson requested a 45 -day extension. Mr. Summers requested 60 days.
