MOORESVILLE PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2002 The Mooresville Plan Commission met on Thursday, February 28,2002, at 7:00 P. M. at the Mooresville Town HalL Commission members present: Chairman Mike Young, Chris Crouch, Tim Bennett, Jim Bruner, Andy Pygman, Robert Williamson, Robert Corbin, John Ehrhart, and newly appointed Charles McGuire. No members were absent. Town attorney Tim Currens was present. Motion was made by Commissioner Pygman, second by Commissioner Ehrhart to approve the minutes of January 24, 2002. Motion carried 8-0. First on the agenda was a request for a Special Exception for Lenard Scott, 697 Indianapolis Road, for a church in Agriculture zoning. This was approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals subject to favorable Findings of Fact by the Plan Commission that the church does not materially affect the Master Plan. Attorney Tim Currens explained to the Commission (using page 67 of the Ordinance Book) the commission's job was to decide if the proposed location and character and proposed use would or would not affect the Master Land Use Plan. Commissioner McGuire asked if there were drawings or plans. Attorney Currens said this was not an issue for the Plan Commission. The Board of Zoning Appeals looks at plans and drawings. The Plan Commission investigates the proper use in that area. He said a site plan was not required, but they will have to meet all the Town Ordinance Standards. Bob Stewart asked for clarification that a church could be in agriculture zoning. Answer: yes. After some discussion, Commissioner Williamson made a motion, second by Commissioner Bennett to send a Finding back to the Board of Zoning Appeals that the Church does not materially affect the Master Plan. Motion carried 7-2. Commissioners McGuire and Pygman opposed. Basically, this means the Special Exception was approved. Chairman Mike Young welcomed back to the commission Charles McGuire. L-
