MOORESVILLE PLAN COMMISSION The Mooresville Plan Commission met in regular session on December 16, 1974 at 7:30 ~.M. Those members present were: Steve Edwards, Bill Roberson, Lewis Truax, Bart Hensley, Eweather Stephens and Mr. David Lawson, Attorney for the Commission. There being no minutes of previous meetings to be read and no old business to come before the board, we went directly into the new business at hand. ,Befor~ t~~P'lan Commissl n w s etition # 41 1974 by' oJ 'Awl' nd vi, owners 0 a plot of ground, 7.~r~~oun ~rope ties ocate on Indiana, Maple Lane, Washington and Hadley Streets, requesting that this parcel of land be re-zoned from residential A, single dwelling to residential B, multiple-family dwelling. Petitioners were represented by attorney Steven Harris who presented the required forms relating to re-zonlng. Forms were examined by Attorney for the commission, David Lawson and were. found to be In proper order. ~ Attorney Harris then introduced to the Commission Mr. Lou G~~lano of Developers Gen. of Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. Galiano presented tentative plans for the development of the 7.2 acres of land for :which the re-zoning Is requested. Plans included 126 MMXI~ apartment units, off street parking and approximately one and one- half acres tobe devoted to recreational facilities (swimming pool, tennis courts and play ground). Primary access routes were to be from Bridge Streets and North Street with two secondary access routes from an alley running between Washington Street and North Street. After consulting with Mr. Delbert Hobson, town surveyor, it was discovered that Bridge Street ends at property owned by Ruth Allen, zk&x~x~ as does North Street. This leaves only the two secondary access routes from the Alley Into the proposed develop- men t . Several remonstrators were present, those giving their names were Ruth Allen, Robert Allen, Richard Allen, Rita Wilson of Hadley Street~ Don Berry, Hadley Street. The primary concern of the remonstrators was the traffic flow and historic problems of drainage. After hearing discussion and questions from the remonstrators, tM~XRljMXK~I~~I.M and those p.~sons requesting the re-zonlng it was agreed that new plans showing better access routes would be necessary before the Plan Commission could make a decision regarding any re-zonlng. The Plan Commission thought It wise to have Bill Abbott, Town Engineer check out the area and advise us of sanitation and drainage facllltes which might be needed or pf possible problems which might be encountered fl~XMI~ because of terrain. A motion to take the matter of re-zoning under advisement, thereby giving the petitioners time to make alternate plans for access routes and giving the Plan Commission time 3to have ~l.Ml~~~Xof sanitation and drainage d study jX~IMM* problems before the meeting in January, was made by MlX Lewis Truax and seconded by tart Hensley.
