other places on the lake that were developed that were just as narrow.
Roads have to be approved by the State and will have to meet State standards, he
said. The project has around 10,000 front feet of water. With the R-20 zoning, he said
there could be as many as 100 piers in the same location. lie said a planned communi-
ty would eliminate this possibility.
lie addressed the issue of waste treatment, saying that it would be a State con-
trolled sewage situation. Water quality was addressed by Mr. Walser, saying thatpeople
he live on the lake take care of the lake, rather polluters were those who did not
have a vested interest in the lake, saying this was not a hard and fast statement,
but generally is true.
Summarizing, he said that the project would not adversely affect the roads, fire
departments, and schools. Because of the size of the project, there are many regula-
tions that will have to be met with, and they plan to comply with all agencies who
have jurisdiction over the area.
William E. Holland, Jr., vice president of RDC, INC., Winston-Salem, joint -
venturer with Jennings for the development of this project. He said the purpose of
the rezoning request is to permit a more creative approach to the development of
residential land. He said the typical cookie -cutter type development with the re-
ouired set backs does not lend itself so well to the development of this project as
the PRD development, which would cause a more desirable environment.
He believes the sewage problem could be better controlled with PRD rather than
R-20, which permits septic tanks on each individual lot. lie thought the PRD offered
more open space for recreation than R-20, in that open space could be better facili-
tated rather than having it in front, back, and side yards of individual homes.
He addressed the advantages of having all septic areas in one location, the
advantages of having roads and driveways for more than one homeowner.
James Jennings, developer of Heronwood, said the Lake Norman Marine Commission
approved the waterfront useage of the property in July 1983. In December 1982, the
executive committee for Duke Power Company approved the waterfront useage of the
property for this project. This, he said, would be regarding health, safety, and
selfare.
In Agusut 1983 the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development issued a water quality permit for the project. The Environmental Protec-
tion Agency also approved the project.
Skyler Little said he believed what he had to say had been covered well.
Bob Amon, Mooresville Chamber of Commerce, said they were concerned with the
economic development of the county. He said the Chamber does wholeheartedly endorse
the concept of the PRD development.
Two other members of the Chamber were present and said they concurred with Mr.
Amon's remarks.
Gene Troutman, resident of Lake Norman, said he was in favor of the project.
