MOORESVILLE PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2003 The Mooresville Plan Commission met in regular session on Thursday, September 25, 2003, at 7:00 P. M. at the Mooresville Town Hall. Commission members present were: President Mike Young, Chris Crouch, Jim Bruner, Troy Bryant, Robert Williamson, Robert Corbin, and Charles McGuire. Tim Bennett and John Ehrhart were absent. Town attorney Tim Currens was present. A motion was made by Commissioner Bruner, second by Commissioner Bryant to approve the minutes of the August 28, 2003 meeting. Motion carried 6-0. First on the agenda was the Grace ParrILori Kinnett rezone for East Main Street. They had asked to be taken off the agenda the day of the meeting because they had obtained a variance for a business from the Board of Zoning Appeals. Next, Ross Holloway presented a request for rezone for Lots 3 & 4 where "Netskys" was located from Residential to B-3. Bob Joshlin, (Speedway Auto Parts) wants to buy the property and build a building similar to Red Barrel Liquor's building on this property. He had recently lost his lease where his store is currently located. Commissioner Bruner asked why a B-3 and not a B-2. Mr. Holloway answered: because of the size of building. Commissioner Bryant asked what size of a building is he going to have and what is the size of a building in a B-3. Mr. Holloway said in a B-3 the building size is unlimited and Mr. Joshlin wants to have as big a building as possible with adequate parking. He would like to have Speedway Auto Parts and possibly another business. Commissioner McGuire asked about entrances to the property. Mr. Holloway said they would have to petition to the State for a new entrance probably in the middle of Lot 3 & 4. Commissioner Bryant told Mr. Holloway he understood what he was saying about the building, but B-2 was more restrictive. He said a lot of different things could go into a B- 3. Commissioner Young asked why they were speculating a variance on parking. Mr. Holloway said he doesn't think they will need the amount of parking required. Commissioner Bryant commented it seemed like they wanted to put a lot on a small area. Mr. Holloway said the lots were three-fourths of an acre. He also said that financing was easier to obtain on a B-3 than a B-2. Commissioner McGuire commented that everything in B-2 was in B-3 or B-3 with special exception. A motion was made by Commissioner McGuire with a second by Commissioner Bruner to recommend to the Town Council to rezone Lots 3 & 4, Moore's Addition from Residential to B-3. The vote was 4-2 with Commissioner Corbin and Commissioner Bryant opposed. A motion was made by Commissioner McGuire, a second by Commissioner Bryant to continue this request to the October 2003 meeting with no new notices. Motion carried 6-0.
