acres of the 62 acres developed, she said. Therefore, there is no
problem with leaving the buffer zone, Young said.
David Boone inquired about the race shop and the noise that
might be involved. He asked if there were any particular measures
being taken to abate noise if a race shop is located there?
Wanda Young said she did not know exactly what the procedures
are for noise abatement. If that is a concern, they are proposing
to find out what the procedures for noise abatement are and
actually write those procedures into the covenants and restrictions
on the property.
David Boone said the only condition he could think of
specifically would be to have the garage doors facing the interior
of the property.
David Boone inquired about the proposed R -O rezoning. He
asked about the number of dwelling units (apartments).
Ms. Young said she is proposing somewhere between 100 to 120.
They are going to ask for 120 in that area. This area of the
county is exceedingly low in inventory in the area of upscale
apartments, she said. The entire development will be aesthetically
the same, Young said, so passersby will not be able to distinguish
apartments from other dwellings.
Commissioner Boone inquired about the density for traffic and
schools.
Ms. Young said the Department of Transportation is proposing
a five -lane road. If DOT requires them to put in a turn lane, the
developers will do that. Ms. Young said she did not think she
could address the school system; however, she knew that Crescent is
putting in developments all around.
Commissioner Boone asked Ms. Young if she would be willing to
accept less than 120 apartment units. Ms. Young said she would
rather not.
Commissioner Boone inquired about the high density option.
Mr. Lundy said the county commissioners would have to approve this
under the Watershed Ordinance, which will be at some future date.
Commissioner Boone thought it would be a good development and
had no problem with anything except the R -O. He asked if the
developer would be willing to accept approval of the two commercial
zones and postpone the RO? Or had she rather do it all at once?
Ms. Young said she would like to discuss it with her other
representatives who are present.
Desiree MacSorley said 120 units, in her opinion, is a very
small project. Typically they would see developments of 180 units
being small. The range is up to 300 units. if you get much lower
than 120 units, the quality of the development suffers because the
economics of it is such that you cannot have certain amenities in
the project, she said. She said the sewer will cost in excess of
$1 million and Ms. Young will need to be able to build out the
project as economically feasible as possible. Considering the
constraints of the watershed, that is very difficult, MacSorley
said. The developers would like to see the apartments stay at 120
units.
Commissioner Johnson inquired about the plans with the City of
Mooresville for sewage service. MacSorley said at this time there
is no guarantee from Mooresville; they are studying the request.
Dick Brolin said they have delivered the drawings to the Town
of Mooresville. Mooresville has not taken an official action on
