MOORESVILLE PLAN COMMISSION MINUlES THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2003 The Mooresville Plan Commission met in regular session on Thursday, April 24, 2003, at 7:00 P. M. at the Mooresville Town HalL Commission members present were: Charles McGuire, sitting in as Chairman for the absent Mike Young, John Ehrhart, Robert Corbin, Robert Williarnson, Chris Crouch, Tim Bennett, Jim Bruner, and Troy Bryant. Town attorney Tim Currens was present. A motion was made by Councilman Ehrhart, second by Councilman Bryant to approve the minutes of March 27, 2003. Motion carried unanimously. First on the agenda was Clark Boncquet with a request to rezone from Agriculture to R-2 property located at 12738 North Slideoff Road. He has bought a home and wishes to make two living quarters for a rental. He told the commission the stairway inside was very steep an uninhabitable and he was going to rip the stairway out and replace with one that was a 40 degree angle and convert the upper half of the home into an apartment. The apartment will have a separate entrance. He said the upstairs decking was unstable so he has put different decking on the upper leveL Commissioner Williamson asked him if he was going to keep two doors downstairs and Mr. Boncquet told him he was. Commissioner Williamson told the commission he had visited the couple that lived there and they told him Mr. Boncquet was doing a good job remodeling. Mr. Boncquet was asked about the electrical amps and he told the commission he had one 200 amp paneL He also told the commission he would eventually need a second driveway. Commissioner Bryant said if this was rezone wouldn't the drive have to be paved and parking spaces, two for the first bedroom and one for each other bedroom.

Joe Beikman said each unit would have to have it's own disconnect. Commissioner Williamson asked about the septic, if there were any standards, he said he could find nothing on this in the zoning book. Joe Beikman told the commission Mr. Boncquet would have to contact the Board of Health about this issue, possibly they would have to add another finger. Mr. Boncquet was asked about entrances and exits and was told the second unit had a back door and a side sliding door and the unit on top had a sliding door and a stairway going down. He said one unit was a two bedroom and one unit a one bedroom. The house was built in 1947and is a GI home and an addition has been put on the house. Commissioner Bryant told him he would need a minimum of five parking spaces at a size of 9' by 20' and be paved. Commissioner McGuire asked the commission what if this was a request for a variance because a re-zone was forever and a variance went with the owner. Attorney Tim Currens said if a variance, he could possibly get out of the paving, but could't avoid the septic issue, the second driveway permit, or the electrical issue. A motion was made by Commissioner Bruner, second by Commissioner Bennett to continue this request to
