Those members present were: Steve Edwards, Bart Hensley, William Roberson, Eweather Stephens, and one of our new members, Lewis Truax. Mr. David Lawson, attorney for the Plan Commission was also present. Minutes of the last regularly scheduled meeting were read and approved.

Petitioner AllEn Lieberman for Chalfic [. AS50ci2tes ~evelrp01- J \,2S rr~r~~~~t~cl by Attorney Steve McElwain. Attorney for the Plan Commission, Lawson noted that proper publication of notices of intent'were made, all adjoining property owners had been duly notified. None of the adjoining property owners appeared to re-monstrate, however, a letter from the Supt. of schools, Wm. Curry was read, not necessarily as an objection to ~ the proposed re-zining for a shopping center, but asking that the safety of school children at Neil Armstrong Elementary School, which adj,ins the tract of land to be re-zoned, be considered and the Aesthetic values of the School property not be violated. Attorney McElwain and Allen Lieberman presented tenative as well as speculative plans for a shopping center to be built on 17.39 acres of land bounded by Hadley Rd" Neil Armstrong Elementary School, Kendrick Memorial Hospital and the Justin Property. Drainage prOblems were discussed and a Topographical map drawn by Mr. Delbert Hobson, who was also present, was presented. Mr. Hobson stated that based on the present terrain there is little likelihood of drainage problems developing. However, if the present terrain is altered through excavation, etc. no one can be sure. Mr. Hobson did strongly advise a deceleration lane leading off State Rd. 67 onto Hadley Rd., to minimize the possibility of rear-end collisions of traffic approaching the shopping center fromthe South and possibly a turning lane for South~ound lanes of St. Rd. 67. Mr. Hobson pointed out though that this is under County jurisdiction. After consulting the Zoning Codes for Local Business and Gen. Business and some general discuss-Ion of the guidelines for both categories, Mr. Lieberman was asked why the shopping center, as proposed, could not as well operate under a Local Business Zoning, which is a lessor, but adequate Zoning for their proposal. It was pointed out that variances can be sought and granted as the need arises and thus the Town of Mooresville will be protected in the event the proposed shopping center venture does not materialize. -
