~ Mrs. Colleen Leffler, 200 Ridgeview Drive, was concerned about the traffic and the value of their homes. Mr. Bryant stated that if the PUD went to the Town Council they could approve it even if the Plan Commission denied it. Mr. Currens stated that if the PUD was denied it would not go to the Town Council for approval. Cindy Worth, 101 Oakview Drive, has five children and she is concerned about schools and the traffic. Joe Judson, 265 Pineview Drive, does not feel this would be good for Mooresville. David Davis, 3707 E. Wilson Drive, asked the Board to look at the Comprehensive Plan and what it has planned for the community. He asked if the Board had received a letter for the Mooresville School Corporation. Mr. Young said that the Board had received the letter and asked Mr. Davis to summarize if for the Board. If was from the Superintendent of Schools and the impact it would have on the over crowded schools. Paul Mulvehil, stated that he felt the Town needed to work on the infrastructure before we added any more homes to the area. Robin Moore, 103 Meadowview Drive, stated that the schools are a concern, but large number of homes, as this would be, does drop the home value. She would like to see Mooresville stay a quiet community. Commissioner Williamson stated that there was a concern among the community that they did not receive notice of the proposed PUD. He informed the people present that if they have not changed their address at the Morgan County Recorders Office since the 911-address change, that they should do this. The developers go to the Recorder's office to get the list of names. Commissioner Crouch asked Mr. Currens to explain to the Board members and attending public, since we are running at capacity at the school and waste water treatment plant, that if we continue growth, what would take place and how would it take place. He stated all infrastructure is really pushed by growth. You don't build treatment plants for 10 or 20 years down the road and you expand them as need be. Right now we are not at total capacity and we still have room for additional users. He knows the Town Council is looking at the future knowing that somewhere expansion will be necessary. If a large industrial user came in we probably could handle that. We still have room for additional capacity as we sit here today. For the schools it is the same way; the Board cannot cut off all growth unless the schools could not handle anymore. We have always had to work with the schools. The schools are at the point where they will need to expand. Mr. Crouch stated that whether this passes or not we are right at the brink of future growth in the schools and treatment plant. Mr. Currens said he thinks we are very close.
