A service will be held on Sunday, August 21, 2005, at 6 P. M. at the Mooresville High School South Gym. Randy Windhorst, Holloway Engineering, presented a rezone for Dan Robert's property an Keller Hill Road from Agriculture to PUD-R. This property is made up of three different plats. Minimum home size for a single story home is 2400 square feet and for a two-story 1200 square feet for each floor. Same lots are five acres and some are two plus acres. The homeowner's association will be responsible for maintenance of the 20 foot wide road constructed to county standards. Na less than fifty percent is to be masonry and no vinyl or aluminum siding is to be used for the homes. The Plan Commission recommended this rezone to the Town Council with a 6-2 vote. Councilman Shields had concerns about the 20 foot vs. a 24 foot width of the road, the size of the cul-de-sac, and what was meant by a dry hydrant, The dry hydrant is to pump water from the pond in case of a fre. Council President Worthen commented that a water tower was across the street, so he didn't understand why Hill Water didn't have fire ratings for that area. Attorney Cuxrens told him the size of pipe is a 4 inch going into the addition and is probably cost prohibitive to upgrade to a 6 inch because they would have to go all the way back to the tower to install a 6 inch. Jessup Place has flush hydrants throughout the addition. This property would also have flush hydrants plus the dry hydrant at the pond. Council President Worthen voiced his concerns about the road width by saying the Council had passed an ordinance to limit surface water to comply with Rule ] 3 specs. He wants to get away from curbs and catch basins to get water to run off easier. He would like to see a twelve inch concrete border on each side of the road which would also tidy up the pavement edge and also have swales and ditches. Mr. Windhorst said their drawing showed a three foot earth shoulder on each side of the road but would be willing to work with. the Council on tlus. Council President Worthen said he would like to go twenty-two feet of road width with one foot each side a concrete border. He also had concerns about the utility buildings. Mr. Windhorst said there would be one on each lot if approved and it had to meet the same construction as the house as set out in item 7 of the covenants. The utility building cannot exceed the size of the home and could not be closer than 50 feet to any property line or from the back of the home. Council President Worthen said he would feel better if covenants read the utility building could not be bigger than 40% of living area of the home. He would rather see not closer than 30 feet from the home and not closer than 70 feet from property lines. He wants to make sure this is compatible with the surrounding area. Mr. Windhorst said he was not authorized to make any commitments. The cul-de-sac is 55 feet lot radius and 45 feet pavement radius. Council President Worthen asked Street Superintendent Joe Beikman if there could be a grassy area in the center. Mr. Beikman said it would be close and Les Farmer, Fire Chief, said the aerial truck could not get around the cul-de-sac. John Littlejohn, Jessup Place, told the Council he was somewhat concerned about the distance from property lines for utility buildings because 50 feet was the length of two Suburbans. There were also no specs far the height of the utility buildings. Also there were no restrictions against a slab home in the covenants. He said it is much easier to include these items in the covenants to begin with.
