" square foot homes and they were nice size if they were two bedroom and if they go to three bedrooms that makes a really small living area but if the customer went to 1500 square feet there were three bedrooms. Mr. Holloway commented they were leaving everything the same but only requesting a change in the Cambridge section to 1400 square feet on 60 percent of the lots and the homes would still be in the range of $180,000. Commissioner Crouch commented he thought they should let them have 60 percent at 1400 square foot in Cambridge Village because if the commission tightened up things more they could see the whole project go. Mr. Holloway agreed the project could be in jeopardy if the floor size was not lowered. Commissioner McGuire said he didn't think it would have much affect on how it looks and if you drive down the street you can't tell if the home is 1400 square feet or 1600 square feet just by looking at the house. There were no comments or questions from the audience. Commissioner Crouch made a motion, a second by Commissioner McGuire to approve the Cambridge Village Section at 60 percent oflots at 1400 square feet. Motion carried 6-0. Mr. Holloway said they would be appearing at the second meeting in February of the Mooresville Town Council. r Next on the agenda was the Village at Heartland Crossing with a final plat approval, represented by Attorney Foley. This item was tabled from the December meeting. Attorney Tim Currens commented that at the last meeting the commission had asked him to look at a couple of issues, one was whether there was a time limit limitation on the proceeding with the development. He had pulled the old plan commission minutes, the commissioner's minutes, and the old county ordinance to see if the PUD and the rezoning went together simultaneously and he believes there was no time limitation. The other issue was the substantial change issue and looking at the Town's ordinance and he believes maybe the only change would be the roads. The issue there would be whether or not the cul-de-sacs represent a substantial change versus just having a straight thru because basically they are in the same location. The third item that had just came up in the interim time period was the issue of certain covenants that the petitioners agreed if they were to keep the plan as submitted would agree to a covenant there would be no vinyl siding permitted, no slab construction for the main portion of the house, anyone story home less than 1800 square feet shall be constructed on a basement, all two story homes shall be a minimum of 2200 square feet. This would be only for this new section and would not apply to any of those additions that go on out east. Attorney Currens said his only concern was that this should be a part of the actual plat itself, not in the declarations and covenants, but actually placed on the plat. He said the reason for this is because then it could not be changed without coming back for an amendment and our building inspector can see if something is not in compliance he can red tag the construction if it has started or deny the permit. Attorney Currens said he had reviewed the plat and these items are written on there as he had requested. So, the options at this point are to either approve the plat with those covenants in it, to say there has been a substantial change, I guess their options are to go with the original plat or disagree over the substantial change issue. A substantial change issue is somewhat gray in the fact a change in name, I don't find that to be relevant at all as you view plats. The road issue is somewhat vanilla itself, so that is kind of where we are at and he thinks that as a board these are the only issues before them. Commissioner McGuire said he would like to have
