Section 12-17. Casualty damaged solid waste.
No owner, occupant, tenant, or lessee or any commercial,
industrial, or residential premises shall permit the solid waste
remaining from any building or other structure which has been
damaged beyond repair by fire, storm, or other casualty, to remain
on the premises for more than one (1) year after the completion of
the investigations by the Fire Marshal and casualty insurance
companies if the appearance of such waste tends to decrease the
value of the surrounding property or mars the appearance of the
area.
The term "beyond repair" shall mean the costs of repairing the
casualty damage exceeds value of the damaged structure prior to the
casualty.
The County shall enforce this section of Article I by imposing
the penalty prescribed in Section 12-12 of this Chapter upon
petition of an owner of other property located in the immediate

IREDELL TRANSPORTATION SERVICE (ITS) - APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL
AND SCOPE OF WORK FOR TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT PLAN SERVICE8t
Mr. Ben Garrison came before the board to discuss the
Transportation Development Plan. The current plan was for the term
of 1991-1995. The expiration date is June 30, 1995. The ITS is
requesting to employ Centralina Council of Governments to help
prepare a new plan. Ninety (90) percent of the cost of the plan
will be paid by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
The remaining ten (10) percent will be paid through the free hours
of service from Centralina Council of Governments. The total cost
of the plan preparation is $13,370 including both state and local
funds.
A question was raised by Commissioner Boone if this was not
something staff could do in house. Mr. Garrison explained that he
spends about twenty (20) percent of his time now working with the
transportation program, and that he did not have the time to spend
to develop the new program.
The TDP is a prerequisite to receiving funds from the
Department of Transportation for new vehicles for the various
county services, such as Council on Aging and Vocational Workshop.
Mr. Mashburn said that if the County did not have a plan, they
would not receive the funding for the vehicles. Mr. Garrison said
the County has received approximately ten vehicles through the DOT
because of having the TDP in place. The local match on the
vehicles is ten percent.
Mr. Garrison said the group has official formed the Iredell
Transportation Authority (ITS) and is looking toward getting the
private sector involved with a consolidated transportation system
in the county.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to approve the proposal and
scope of work with for the 4 -year plan for Transportation
