Mayor Bentley proposed that the acreage money would be put back into a revolving account, and
funds from this account would be limited to development of water and sewer lines from the
Statesville area.
Vice Chairman Mills said the county commissioners would have to be concerned with the other
municipalities in the county; the board could not do for one municipality what they were not doing
for another.
Councilman Dagenhart inquired about control over price of the property to be developed in that
area, to which Mayor Bentley replied that Jack King from the Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce
is looking into this and will have a letter setting forth prices of land for development. Council-
man Dagenhart also inquired about lack of rail siding for this area, which may prohibit some plants
from developing there.
Mayor Bentley said a revolving fund was needed. An overall policy, then some general planning
could begin. Heretofore, he said, it has been "crisis" planning.
Councilman Kivett reported on the impact fee, which is to be called a "Utility Availability
Fee." These fees are suggested as:
Water $450 per acre
Sewer $500 per acre
A letter of intent would be secured for the 195 acres, fixing a firm price for the sale of the land
for development for a fixed period of time.
Regarding availability of water, which is now supplied by Iredell Water Corporation (8" line),
Councilman Dagenhart said that water for the area may have to be looked at also, because of
sprinkler systems, etc.

plan as outlined by Mayor Bentley, which is:
County $230,000
Klear Knit, Inc. 20,000

From County & City 140,000
No Pay Back to County
Acreage Impact Fee (to be placed in a revolving account for

discuss this as soon as possible.
