MOORESVILLE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS FINDINGS OF FACT HOPKINS SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR SAND AND GRAVEL MINING OPERATION The Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals having heard the special exception request filed by Jeremy Hopkins for a sand and gravel mining operation at its meeting held May 20, 1998 now makes the following Finding of Fact pursuant to Chapter 5 of the Mooresville Zoning Ordinance: 1. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special exception, sand and gravel mining operation/would be detrimental to and endanger the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare of/the community due to the truck traffic that it would bring into the area and the nature of the existing roads. 2. The special exception would be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other properties in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted which include residential use and the cemetery. 3. The establishment of the special exception will not impede or substantially alter the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in those districts. 4. Adequate utilities, drainage and other necessary facilities have been or are being provided including the interior access roads, however, the exterior access roads are not adequate. 5. Adequate measures have been or would be taken to provide ingress and egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion on the public roads internally, however, the external controls for trucks and other consumers cannot be controlled and would not be adequate on the existing roads. 6. The special exception would be located in a district where such use is permitted and all other requirements in the Ordinance which are applicable to such special exception would be met. Based upon the information received at the public hearing and a review of the special exception the Mooresville Board of Zoning Appeals deny the special exception request.
