MOORESVILLE TOWN HALL The Mooresville Plan Commission met on Thursday, December 12,2002 at 6:30 P.M. at the Mooresville Town Hall. Plan Commission members present: President Mike Young, Chris Crouch, John Ehrhart, Andy Pygman, Robert Corbin, Robert Williarnson, Jim Burner, Charles McGuire and absent was Tim Bennett. Mr. Tim Currens, Town Attorney, was present. Motion to approve the minutes for the November 14, 2002, as corrected was made by Commissioner }~r, second by Commissioner Crouch. First on the agenda was Mr. Larry Long, 1270 Blackwood Ct., requesting a two lot Minor Plat and a Rezone from R-I to B-1 & R-2 for property at 32 E. High Street, which was postponed at the November 14, 2002 meeting Mr. Long stated he had added the green space that Mr. Ehrhart spoke about at the November meeting. The rezone to B-1 on lot #1 is where he is planoing on putting his office. He has plotted out ten parking spaces and with the green space around the property, along with the green space for the duplex as was requested at the November meeting. Mr. McGuire had a concern about what is happening because this is not a legal two lot minor plat. A lot is an area of ground that abuts a street, so this canoot be called a two lot minor plat, because one lot does not abut a street. He concerned about where do we stop putting houses in people's back yards. He stated that is why we have zoning ordinances to protect the neighbors, neighborhood and the Town of Mooresville. He does not feel it is correct to be putting houses in back yards. Mr. Young stated so that everyone was clear on what Mr. Long was proposing was to use the existing house as his office on a 6,000 sq. ft. lot and the duplex would be built on the other lot which is about 10,000 sq. ft. He asked Mr. Long if he felt if his duplex would add to the value of the property in the area. Mr. Long stated that the property to the west of his has an office building and a four-unit apartment building. He stated that going down Broad Alley some of the properties are very poorly maintained in that area. He felt that the improvements of his property might encourage others to clean up the area. Mr. Young asked Mr. Long to share some details about the duplex he is planning on building. Mr. Long said if would be a one story duplex with red brick to coordinate with the brick on the original house in the front, with an offset porch in the front and back.
