MOORESVILLE PLAN COMMISSION MINlITES WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20. 2000 7:30 P. M. The Mooresville Plan Commission met on Wednesday, December 20, 2000, at 7:30 P. M., following the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting due to Christmas Holiday. Commission members present were: Joel Beebe, Mike Young, John Ehrhart, Jim Bruner, Andy Pygman, and Tim Bennett. Members absent were: Charles McGuire and Robert Williamson. Town attorney Tim Currens was present. Motion was made by Commissioner Bruner, second by Commissioner Ehrhart to approve minutes of November 15, 2000. Motion carried 6-0. Ross Holloway presented Wyttenbach preliminary plat for approval which had been tabled from November 15, 2000 meeting. This property is located at corner of Keys Road and Bethel Church Road. Mr. Holloway told the commission the homes would be comparable to Pioneer Country Estates, one acre plus lots, first section - 15 lots, permits and soil reports had been obtained, notes on plat to show location of buried debris, and a seven foot shoulder and reditching of road. Commissioner Pygman told commission he had received a letter concerning ownership of part of the parcel. Mr. Holloway stated he had not been aware of any problem. Town attorney Tim Currens told the commission there had not been a dispute concerning ownership. Commissioner Pygman said he did not understand why all lots were going to be on septic, when there were sanitary lines as close as one-half mile away. Mr. Holloway explained the economics were not there to go to the expense of sanitary sewers and to justifY sewers the density would have to double or triple. He said the question is not the cost of connection fees, but the cost of extending sewers for a long distance, probably 12,000 to 15,000 dollars per lot at the present density of fifteen lots. Robert Woodrum, 630 Bunker Hill Road, presented a letter to the commission from Ross Holloway with a legal description for a rezoning request of approximately forty five acres and he had another letter of description that showed seventy eight acres, but Mr. Holloway said he was only talking about the part east of Keys Road which was forty five acres. Plat legal description is eighteen acres that is up for approval. Town attorney Tim Currens explained to Mr. Woodrum that the language and request was legally correct. Chris Crouch, 571 Keys Road asked commissioner Bruner how much industry was needed to offset 10,000 homes. Commissioner Bruner stated there was no "set standard" for industry to residental criteria--there were too many variables. Town attorney Tim Currens stated that all industries were not the same just like homes are not the same. Chris Crouch also told the commission he didn't think this development should be external instead of internal. Reva Bates living on Keys Road asked Mr. Holloway what the possible total of homes would be including the interior of the development. Mr. Holloway answered; eighty to ninety homes. She asked why that wasn't enough density to go one half mile down the road to hook on to sanitary sewers. Mr. Holloway answered: easements or right-of -ways would have to be bought, the expense of a lift station, gravity
