Mooresville Planning Commission, February 11, 2021 Schofield opposed, but the motion carried with the remaining votes of the Planning Commission. Mike Young stated out loud for the public in attendance that the rezoning petition would be reviewed by the Town Council on March 2"a John Larrison of Holloway Engineering then presented a replatting of a primary plat on East Orchard Road on behalf of Dennis and Nina Saner. He stated that the primary plat was zoned agricultural and in the buffer zone across from Countryview Estates. The new platting will be a family compound minor plat with two lots. Lott will be 3.2 acres for a new home and Lot2 is an existing home for the current owners. Lot 2 sits on a ridge running through that area. This is an area of similarly large lots from 1+ to 5 acres. Plan for development is representative of the way lots have been developed — rural residential. Primary septic field is on Lotl . Minimum lot size for septic field has been met. Mike young called for public questions or comments. Mary Burge of 4950 east Daisy Lane stated that the proposed lot was right in the back of her house and the reason they were interested is that they just bought their dream home for retirement. She stated that she and her family were concerned about drainage as Orchard Road is lower than the majority of the property. She asked Mr. Larrison what type of development and housing would be developed, and how it would affect neighboring property values. Tom Hicks of 10448 North Pennington Road stated he had the same concerns about the type of housing to be developed, stating that neighboring homes were "pretty decent homes". Roy Burge of 4950 East Daisy Lane restated the answer given to his wife that they would be two single family homes, but wanted to know how large and what value. He stated that the homes in his subdivision were selling for $285,000 to $290,000, all brick, underground wiring with a dedicated sewer system. He hears gunshots going off all the time to the north, and wants "to know if what's coming is taking into account our homes?" Kimberly Schofield asked Mr. Larrison directly if the property owners had plans for the type of homes to be developed. Mr. Larrison did not answer the question directly, but made numerous statements regarding standards in the zoning ordinance, agricultural drainage, and how everyone blames and/or attacks the "big bad developers". Mark Taylor asked the clarifying question "Can you eliminate manufactured housing being put on this site?" Again, Mr. Larrison did not answer the question, he stated that the land is zoned agricultural and construction will meet the standards of the UDO. Fle stated both owners are professionals, and one sits on the School Board. He then angrily stated "We don't sit here to have neighbors come in and ask what you're building". Perry King replied to Mrs. Burge's question regarding drainage, saying the County controls drainage in the Buffer Zone. Mary Herold asked to speak and told Mrs. Burge that primary drainage for that land was on the west side of the property into a deep ditch on Pennington Road. Mark Taylor asked if the rezoning were granted tonight world it go to the town Council and was answered "no" by numerous members of the Planning Commission. Mark Taylor then asked if approved, will the Planning Commission be able to control what type of housing goes in. Mrs. Burge asked it a trailer park could be put on the land, as members of her subdivision had fought the expansion of a manufactured homes development to the north of their properties represented by the same engineering firm, Ross Holloway Engineering, as the Saner property. Beth Copeland, Legal Counsel replied no, that the ordinance stated that it could be a single-family home, farm stead or single manufactured home. Mike Young called for a motion and Robert Allenbaugh motioned to approve, Jeff Deiterlen seconded, and the motion passed with Kimberly Schofield being the only "nea" vote. Mike Young called for new business, then old business, and receiving no response, called for a motion to adjourn. JD Robinson so motioned, Josh Brown seconded and the meeting closed with a unanimous vote.
