First on the agenda, Jack Lawson, attorney for Miller's and Mike Fogerty, head of development for Millers presented Miller's Merry Manor rezone from B-2 to R-3. The property is located where the Eagles Lodge previously stood. This project to be constructed is for assisted living units. The covenants on the plat will state: 40 units max, 30 units minimum and assisted living only. The units will be one or two bedroom or studios. Mr. Fogerty said the resident is usually 70 years plus, independent, and wants privacy. The construction will be brick and vinyl. There will be approximately 7 full time employees. This project is a private paid product-no government funds available. A staffwill be on duty 24 hours a day. There is no stove in idividual units. Motion was made by Commissioner Pygman, second by Commissioner Ehrhart to recommend to Town Council to rezone to R-3 with restrictive covenants to go along with R-3 and a 40 unit maximum assisted living only. Motion carried 5-0. Next, Holloway & Assoc. presented the Arvin Hopkins property on Bridge Street rezone from Agrie. to R-2. This property is located behind the Mooresville School Bus Garage and to the east of NAPA. The Master Plan of 1992 says Industrial. Mr. Hopkins is wanting to put doubles on the property. The lots would be at least 10,000 sq. ft. with 14,500 sq. ft. per double. Probable 18 buildings with total of 36 traits. Commissioner Ehrhart said this would introduce more vehicles on Bridge Street which was already heavily traveled. The master plan says business or light industry with two residential areas preserved. Attorney Foley, speaking on behalf of Myron Westenhoffer, 560 Bridge Street, told the Commission they oppose the rezone. He said this was similar to a spot zoning situation, that it wasn't fair to the people who would be living in these doubles. The backyard would be bus garage or creek. There would be more children for school system and more people on the sewer system. Mr. Westenhoffer would like to keep the area business or industrial. Tony Sweet of Harlan Drive told the Commission he knew of only one rental property within '/: mile radius. Motion was made by Commissioner Ehrhart, second by Commissioner Pygrnan to recommend to the Town Council to deny the petition for rezone to R-2. Motion carried 5-0.
