sort of special finding/exple: drainage problems, etc. Ron Lear, 582 Watson Road told the Commission he had talked to EPA, Kenneth Lee and Ms. Hess, and they t~~ ~~~~~, notj,39mmon waterway, then something could > be done because ÈiIS I'Ilft-9A.people's property. Ross Holloway satd he thought this common waterway drains several pieces ofland, maybe up to Highway 144. Bob Geiger, 2390 Rooker Road questioned how many homes were occupied in Country View Estates (Chris Crouch's subdivision), he thinks only 4 of 8 are occupied. Mr Kays said 6 people were living there. Frank Hogan, attorney for surrounding neighbors, cited an NPDES permit issued 10-0 I -96 to C & M, he said permit in no way limits local jurisdiction to make decisions concerning proposed development. He cited Final order granted to C & M on 01-28-98, giving authority to render sewage disposed in rural area. Attorney Hogan asks the brochure fÌ'om 4-22-99 meeting be introduced into evidence, also, the plat drawing fÌ'om tonight and other meetings be introduced. Jim Patrick held up drawing fÌ'om August, 1999 meeting indicating where buffering was located behind Patricks and other properties. He said now on the Plat brought in tonight's meeting, there was shown very little buffering for the Patricks and no buffering for the other properties. Concerns about the road issue was brought up, saying more than two streets coalescing at a point is against Ordinance. Question was asked about the first entrance to subdivision, if it had been signed off on by the County. The commission was reminded that at a previous meeting, Brad Yarger, engineer, had mentioned sight problems with the first entrance and that entrance is off a road that is heavily traveled. ~ John Mutz, 9250 Viola Way, told the Commission he understood the owner of C & M Utility was also owner of Countryview Estates and he thought this owner wanted to put similar homes in Countryview Estates. Building Inspector Joe Beikman told Mr. Mutz that lot size and house size was the reason the Countryview plat was turned down at first. Raymond Kays said that at the last meeting the talk was 350 gallon per home, now it was down to 166 gallon per home and Hendrick's County uses 400 gallons per home, so now he is confused. Ross Holloway said that in May of 1996, Town ofMooresville was notified oflURC hearing for C & M Utility and a statute says that a small utility could opt out ofrate procedures so, C & M did this to save on lawyer and engineer fees. He said C & M still is charging $45.00 a month and have no plans to raise rates. Mr. Holloway told the Commission he would stipulate 20 foot buffering is included in the Plat. Commissioner McGuire read page 1 of Subdivision Ordinance-owner must show provisions for sanitary, water supply, drainage, etc. and based upon this, Commissioner McGuire made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Marshall to deny plat approval due to sewage problems, land use of road, topography, and other issues for findings of facts. Motion carried 7-0.
