VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
PALOMINO PARK SUBDIVISON PLAT: Mr. Lundy, Planning Director, presented the captioned subdivi-
sion plat to the board. Mr. Lundy said the subdivision has been reviewed, and the required informa-
tion is on the plat. The Planning Board unanimously recommended approval.
Commissioner Crosswhite inquired if the Health Department has approved this plat. Minutes from
the Plannning Board were contingent upon Health Department approval. Mr. Lundy said the Health
Department does preliminary investigations of all subdivisions, but they never give a 100% guarantee
on any lot until they know where the dwelling and well are going to be placed. They have some
concerns on a few of the lots because of the topography. That will be handled at the time of
applicatin for a building permit.
Commissioner Murdock inquired how the matter would be handled when the lots were already sold
and the lots would not perk.
Mr. Lundy said he did not know that they would not perk; they may be so steep they may have a
problem in putting a septic tank on a particular lot. The problem the Health Department has is
until they know where the well is to be located and where the house will sit, it is impossible for
them to say 100% whether you can or cannot have a septic tank.
Chairman Hedrick inquired what would be Mr. Johnny Craver's position if a lot were sold and it
was found that it would not accommodate a septic tank system.
Mr. Johnny Craver, developer of this subdivision, was present to discuss the plat. He said
anytime he sold a lot to anyone, it had been sold subject to permit approval, and if there is a
problem they don't buy the lot. He said he had never run into this situation on any of the develop-
ments he has done in Iredell County. He said if he ever sold a lot and the lot would not perk, he
would certainly refund the money or switch it to another lot.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to accept the unanimous decision of the planning board end
approve the Palomino Park Subdivision.

MOUNTAIN ROAD VILLAGE SUBDIVISION: Mr. Lundy, Planning Director, presented this plat to the
board at this time. Mr. Lundy said this is a section of a larger subdivision. The planning board
has recommended on a 7-2 vote that the county board of commissioners approve this subdivision as
presented.
Commissioner Mills inquired if the normal procedure was when these lots were sold then a
request would be made for the remainder to be approved. Mr. Lundy replied that any time after this
if they decide that it is feasible to do the remainder of them, they can come back with another
request. They would submit another plat for the remainder of the lots, Lundy said.
There are a total of 67 lots in this particular subdivision being submitted this evening.
A group of people who lived in the area were present and spoke at the meeting. Those speaking
were:

not want the subdivision plat approved for a mobile home park, double -wide or single trailers.

2001, average around 22,000 to 23,000, approximately 1/2 acre.
