MOORESVILLE PLAN COMMISSION MINUlES THURSDAY, AUGUST 28,2003,7:00 P.M. The Mooresville Plan Commission met on Thursday, August 28,2003 at 7:00 P.M. at the Mooresville Town Hall. Commission members present were: Chairman, Mike Young, Chris Crouch, Jim Bruner, Troy Bryant, Robert Williamson, Robert Corbin, John Ehrhart, Tim Bennett, and Charles McGuire. Town attorney, Tim Currens was present. The first item on the agenda was the rezoning of 40 E Main Street from Residential to B- 2. The property is currently owned by Grace Parr, who now lives out of town. Representing Grace Parr was Lori Kinnett, who has made an offer to purchase the property contingent on it's being rezoned. Ms. Kinnett wants to put a consignment shop in the home. Commissioner McGuire stated that a residential home does not comply with the B-2 zoning requirements. Ms. Kinnett stated that when she came in to find out what she needed to do she was told to ask for a rezone to B-2. On the question of parking, Ms. Kinnett stated that she was told she needed six spaces and presented the board with a diagram showing where the six spaces could go. Commissioner McGuire stated that he would much rather see a variance issued on the property than a rezone. Ms. Kinnett replied that she initially wanted a variance so that she might someday resell the property as a residence but was told she needed a B-2 rezone instead. Chairman, Mike Young explained to Ms. Kinnett the process for seeking a variance from the Board of Zoning Appeals but didn't think she could meet the deadline requirements for the September meeting. When asked if she was officially withdrawing her request for a rezone, Ms. Kinnett stated she was not. A motion was made to grant a continuance by Commissioner McGuire, second by Commissioner Ehrhart. Motion carried 9-0. Ross Holloway of Holloway Associates appeared before the commission for Wendell and Lois Thaler, asking for a 2-lot minor plat on Bethel Road north of Crosby Road. Wendell Thaler currently owns the 3.2-acre lot and wants to divide it so his daughter Kim can build a house. Mr. Holloway stated that the plat has been arnended wherever possible to meet the comments of the Tech Review Committee. He also stated that the length to depth ratio was a problem for this parcel because it couldn't be divided in any manner without exceeding the width to depth ratio since the total frontage is 250 feet and the total depth is almost 600 feet. Due to this, Mr. Holloway asked for a waiver on the length to width ratio. Mr. Holloway stated that the lots have adequate space for nice homes and accessory buildings, while still being a good distance from the road. The property is serviced by public water. Copies of the septic and driveway permits have been filed with Joe Beikman's office. Commissioner Bruner asked if the septic perk test was okay and Mr. Holloway provided the commission with a copy of the test for review. He went on to explain the operation of a pump system, which is required on this property. Commissioner Crouch asked if a perimeter drain was required. Mr. Holloway said no. Commissioner McGuire made a motion to accept the minor plat as presented, with the
