targeted for activities such as housing rehabilitation, road
paving, water and sewer utilities, etc. These activities should be
conducted in low and moderate income areas, Duston said. One of
the two types of applications is concentrated needs area, and is
for $850,000. The scattered site area does not have to be in one
concentrated area but does have to be for low and moderate income
individuals. This is for the purpose of housing rehabilitation.
Five million dollars is available throughout the state. A county
can submit an application for $500,000. There is no local match
required. COG was offering to do the application for Iredell
County if they wished to apply. He explained the logistics of the
application, including the public hearing.
After further discussion MOTION was made by Commissioner Boone
to ask Centralina Council of Governments not to apply for this
grant. He thought that it would eventually cost the County money
and that there would be strings attached to the funding. He did
not think the County needs to get into the public housing business.

DISCUSSION OP ENCROACHMENT OF AIGRT-OF-WAY AT MOORESVILLE
SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION: Mr. Bob Amon and Mr. Robert
Holshouser were present to discuss this matter. Mr. Bob Amon spoke
for the group. Holshouser, Charles Moore, and Amon own 6.029 acres
adjacent to Highway 150 Solid Waste Transfer Station in
Mooresville. Some years ago when the transfer station was built,
lr the station was built over a deeded right-of-way, which is the
right-of-way into the Amon property. In 1988 there was a
discussion of this concern but nothing took place as a result of
the discussion. Amon had a surveyor who looked at the property to
determine the boundaries. A land swap was discussed in 1990 with
Richard Franklin, the staff engineer at that time. In 1991 they
attempted to acquire a right-of-way in front of the property from
a Mr. Campbell, but Mr. Campbell was not interested in swapping
land with them. The property owners were asking for a settlement
of this matter. They have had people who have been interested in
the property, but they have not been able to sell because of no
access. They have dirt on the property that could be sold but they
have no access to remove the dirt.
