Mr. Holloway presented a request for a revision to the Bridge Street plat located behind Casey's General Store by adding a lot #3. The size of the lot is .448 acres in the northwest comer and zoned B-3. Commissioner Bryant asked why the need for Lot #3. Mr. Holloway said Lot #3 had been sold. Commissioner Bruner said he had a question that had to do with lots 1 and 2 and asked if a water main and hydrant could be extended back to the property line oflot 2. Mr. Holloway said this was very possible as Mr. Hopkins has backhoes and other equipment to accomplish this extension. He could not commit to this because he hadn't talked to Mr. Hopkins. From the audience, Greg Johnson, President of Mooresville Girls Softball League, spoke to the commission say he was opposed to the approval of the lots due to drainage problems. Mr. Hopkins had made a retaining wall around the softball league parking lot and down their driveway entrance and this is going to be a problem for them. Carl Hart, Vice-President of Mooresville Girls Softball League said he had contacted DNR and a permit had been filed but with restrictions that the retaining wall not create a flood condition for surrounding properties and that it not be within fifty feet of the creek way that runs down thru there. There are parts of that wall that are within fifty feet. DNR is investigating and it could take up to thirty days for them to investigate and get back to the league with their findings. There was water standing in the driveway today that normally would not be, so Mr. Hopkins has increased the flooding capability as well as the property belonging to Perry Acoustics. Mr. Johnson said they have a mortgage and six hundred girls that enjoy playing there, if this flooding continues we are really in trouble. He asked that the commission keep a close surveillance with this project because they cannot take the water. This is a six-foot tall dirt levy. Mr. Holloway said a drainage plan has to be filed. Attorney Currens stated the issue was not on this tract of land and issue two is the commission has no control or enforcement on this issue. The DNR makes the rules on this and do the enforcement. Mr. Johnson said he wanted to voice his opposition. Attorney Currens said that actually this plan had already been approved; this was just a modification of the plan before the commission tonight. Mr. Holloway has certified the drainage. Mr. Holloway said there is a large retention basin on Lot 2. A motion was made by Commissioner Crouch with a second by Commissioner Bruner to approve revision of Hopkins Bridge Street minor plat, lot 3. Motion carried 7-1 with Commissioner Williamson opposed. Next, Attorney Currens told the commission he had before them the definition of a Nightclub to blend in with the Comprehensive Plan and to recommend to the Mooresville Town Council to add this definition to the Comprehensive Plan. The definition reads: A club, both private and public, that is 2500 square feet or greater, provides entertainment and mayor may not serve food, drinks, or beverages. N01E: Nightclub shall be allowed in B-3 District by Special Exception only. There were no questions from the commission or from the floor. A motion was made by Councilman Bryant with a second from Councilman Ehrhart to make the recommendation to add this definition to the Comprehensive Plan. Motion carried 8-0.
