Sherry Milan, Lot 4 North Madison Crossing, told the commission they had moved from Cumberland and had made the move with a setting in mind because they had moved away from surrounding apartments and now they were being told they were right back where they were previously. They had spent two years making this move. Mark Whitaker, 13037 N. Departure Boulevard, voiced the same issues. Cathy Schooley, living directly across from the development asked what was planoed for the water situation. Karen Bearn, 13137 Town Court, said the issues she had were the impact of traffic flow and police protection. A resident at 6983 Pilot Court said he had a negative feeling about the project. He thought that so far the growth had been aesthetic. Now, to put forty units on 7.6 acres of land that is flat will cause water problems. He said North Madison Crossing had a swail to get water to Landersdale Road to get carried away. He says the water has no where to go but onto North Madison Crossing.

Commissioner McGuire asked if there was a commitment the owner has to occupy the building. Answer-they have to be individually owned. Commissioner Crouch asked Helen Humes, EDC Director if there was a need for this in the community. She answered that housing was critical to a community and she thought there was a need for quality condos, but she didn't have an opinion on this site.

Ross Holloway presented a request for a two lot minor plat for Jeremy Hopkins on Bethel Road. Lot I would be 5.046 acres and Lot 2 would be 14.954 acres. Mr. Holloway said a driveway permit was not needed because they would be using the existing driveway off of Bethel Road. He told the commission this was a revision to an approved plat that was not signed. Commissioner McGuire told him he needed to show the barn on the plat. A motion was made by Commissioner Bruner, second by Commissioner Crouch to approve the revision of plat, subject to site evaluation and showing the existing barn. Motion carried unanimously.
