Kenny McClaren spoke saying he had grown up around Mooresville and had input with Mr. Patton on this area as he has worked with him for about a year on the Bolton Avenue property. Last month the Plan Commission had received a complaint on the property from Mark Taylor that the condition of the property was bad. A tarp on the roof was shredding all over the neighborhood yards, etc. Mr. Holloway stated the property is currently zoned 1-1 and some businesses that could go there would be a car wash, auto repair, auto sales,paint and body,motor home sales,parking garage, truck freight terminal, or a wholesale produce terminal.

Mr. Patton wishes to demolish the building and build an eight-unit apartment building with one-bedroom units, 16 feet by 32 feet each with seven off-street parking spaces,maybe eight.
