(1) water safety
(2) erosion
(3) sewage treatment
(4) clean water
He said that 400 boars in the narrow end of the lake would create a water safety
problem.
He said that East Monbo Road is a narrow road, and the only road that serves this
area. fie said he believed there had been more fatalities on this road than any other
road in the county.
tie addressed the sewage and whose problem it was to address, and that it was the
commissioners' decision as to whether this rezoning was approved.
He said if the county would put in a water and sewer system at the lake, it would
remove a lot of his feelings against the project.
He said he had read that Lake Norman would be the main source for drinking water
in the next few years, and if this is true, then the water must be kept clean for the
long term benefit of Iredell County.
This is the wrong part of the lake for this kind of development, he said, because
of the narrow water, water safety, sewage, with the provisionally suitable classifica-
tion.
Chairman Troutman asked for remarks from the commissioners and others present.
Mr. Holland said that if the property were not rezoned for PRD, that it would
not remain undeveloped. He addressed the sewage, stating that with the PRD the sew-
age treatment could be located on the best areas of the property rather than having
some 300 individual septic units.
Mr. Walser addressed the subject of nuisance as defined in violation of legal
rights and the changing of circumstances, this being the changing of life styles.
fie said the decline in property values, if there was a decline, would be those
neighbors located next to the property rather than farther down the lake. '^•-
James Jennings said he thought the thrust of the R-20 zoning had to do with
mobile homes.
David Parker: Asked that the record reflect that two of the commissioners
(Troutman and Ostwalt) were absent during part of the meeting. Mr. Ostwalt asked
that the record show that he asked the Chairman to be excused; Chairman Troutman
said he asked the Vice Chairman to be excused.
Mr. Davenport said this hearing was legislative function of the board and not
administrative hearing. There is no burden to prove a change of circumstances.
CHAIRMAN TROUTMAN CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 10:30 p.m.
