MINUTES OF THE MOORESVILLE PLAN COMMISSION OF MAY 23, 1985 "-- The Mooresville Plan Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting on May 23, 1985 at the Mooresville Town Hall. Present were Board Members Dave Barry, Bill Abbott, Steve Edwards, Ron Alexander, Tilford Bailey, Helen Knight, Vernon Kimmel, Wendell Thaler and Charles Swisher. Building Inspector Joe Beikman was present along with Michael A. Ksenak, who was standing in for Board Attorney Timothy C. Currens. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Dave Barry who acknowledged that a quorum was present and the Board proceeded to the approval of the minutes of the prior meeting. Upon a motion duly made and seconded the minutes of the prior meeting were approved. Finding no business from the floor, the Board moved on to the next item on the agenda, which was new business. The Board decided to handle the 3 petitions out of order and requested first to hear the petitions concerning the Hopkins rezoning. Attorney Ksenak found that proper notice had been served and Attorney Dave Lawson presented the case '- for petitioners. Mr. Lawson first asked to delete from the petition the request concerning acoin-operated laundry because that use was already allowed in Local Business or General Business. Mr. Lawson indicated that the last time his clients were before the Board was under the old ordinance at which time they had petitioned for rezoning as General Business. The Board at that time indicated that the uses desired by the petitioners could be utilized under the Local Business classification and as such the petition at that time was amended to request rezoning to Local Business. This year, the Hopkins came in for building permits and due to the new ordinance, they were informed that the uses requested are only allowed under the General Business classification. Mr. Lawson indicated that this area is already a business area and that the requested rezoning would not adversely affect any of the property in that area but rather was in fact consistent with the uses already there. The Hopkins simply want to do what they were attempting to do in 1981.
