The hearing was adjourned, and the case was not re -advertised.) Case No. 0611-3 (J. C. Faw Property) Request to Rezone Property from Residential Agricultural & Neighborhood Business Conditional Use District to Neighborhood Business Location: Corner of Brawley School Road and Drye Drive in Mooresville, NC: Chairman Norman said Case No. 0611-3 was postponed from the December 5 meeting. He announced that citizens would be allowed to briefly speak, even though the public hearing had already been held. Eric Wood, with Pilot Developers, and the owner of the property, requested that the case be postponed another thirty days. He said a property appraisal was being obtained, and the Department of Transportation had been contacted about the rights-of-way. Mr. Wood said "something in writing" would be available soon. No one else desired to speak. MOTION by Commissioner Robertson to postpone Case No. 0611-3 (J.C. Faw Property) for 30 days or to the February 6, 2007 meeting. Commissioner Johnson said his primary concern at the December 5 meeting was not so much about the rezoning, but rather it was the issue of a property owner surrendering property without just compensation. He suggested an amendment to Commissioner Robertson's motion as follows: Instruct Mr. Warren (Planning Department) to inform people, who were considering the rezoning of property along the Brawley School Road, that the Iredell County Board of Commissioners preferred for them to negotiate with the State Department of Transportation before they requested the rezoning. (He said this way, if the owner wanted to either give or sell property to the DOT, at a negotiated price, this would be fine -- there would be no coercion from anyone -- property owners wouldn't feel they had to give up something in order to receive a rezoning.) Commissioner Robertson accepted the amendment, and it is a part of the motion. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. (Note: The December 5, 2006 regular minutes contains a detailed staff report, and a summary of the public hearing comments.) PUBLIC HEARINGS Chairman Norman declared the meeting to be in a public hearing. Case No. 0612-1 (Page Distributing Company, Inc.) Request to Rezone Property from Shopping Center & General Business Conditional Use District to General Business: Acting Planning Director Steve Warren provided the following staff report for this case. N PLANNING STAFF REPORT - CASE NO. 0612-1 OWNER /APPLICANT: Page Distributing Company, Inc 150 Stratford Court Winston-Salem, NC 27113 (336)724-0727 LOCATION: Southeast corner of River Highway and McCrary Road in Mooresville, NC; more specifically identified as PIN#s 4637-39-0694 and 4637-39-0966 Directions: West on River Highway from Mooresville; property on left at McCrary Road intersection. REQUESTED ACTION: Rezone subject parcels from SC and GB -CUD, Shopping Center and General Business Conditional Use to GB, General Business. PROPOSED USE: Any and all GB uses. SIZE: 12.33 acres. EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant. SURROUNDING LAND USE: Commercial uses surround site, with vacant land to east along River Highway. WATERSHED REGULATIONS: The subject parcels is located within the WSIV Critical Area. TRAFFIC: A section of River Highway just west of the Catawba River bridge had an average of 18,000 vehicles per day in 2005; according to the 1993 Iredell County Thoroughfare Plan, this section of River Highway has a carrying capacity of 10,500 vehicles per day. ZONING HISTORY: The subject parcels were rezoned from RA, when countywide zoning took effect in 1990, to SC and GB -CUD in January of 1995 as part of the River Park Development. Several parcels situated west and northwest of the intersection of River Highway and McCrary Road were rezoned to General Business in July of 1987. Three parcels located north of River Highway were rezoned Highway Business in September of 1985. The adjacent parcels to the south and east were included as part of the River Park Development when rezoned to RO-CUD, GB -CUD and SC in January of 1995. In January of 1997, the RO-CUD was rezoned to RO and in November of 2005 a small portion of RO just west of River Park Road was rezoned to SC. STAFF COMMENTS: The subject parcels were rezoned as part of the River Park Development in December of 1994. The River Highway corridor has experienced significant growth in commercial development in response to continued residential development along Lake Norman. The River Highway Corridor Plan identities this area as suitable for future commercial development. The applicant has chosen the GB District classification, which allows for a greater range of commercial uses than allowed under the current SC designation, and intends to market the property as broadly as possible. Several adjacent parcels are zoned GB and staff recommends in favor of this request. PLANNING BOARD ACTION: On December 6, 2006, the Planning Board voted 9-0 to recommend approval of this request and to advise that it is consistent with the River Highway Corridor Plan. No one desired to speak, and Chairman Norman adjourned the hearing. MOTION by Commissioner Williams to approve of the zoning map amendment and to make a finding that approval is consistent with the adopted River Highway Corridor Plan and that said approval is reasonable and in the public interest due to its consistency with the River Highway Corridor Plan; as a result, said approval furthers the goals and objectives of the River Highway Corridor Plan. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. 3 SENT MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to approve the following four consent agenda items. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. 1. Request from the Health Department for Approval of an Amendment to the Fee Policy: Health Director Donna Campbell said the Women's Health Branch had requested the re- write of several fee policies. She said one change would be to strike out the words "for that visit" from the second paragraph on page 4 of the fee policy. Campbell said another change would be that the department could no longer deny services to any person wanting Family Planning, regardless of their percent of pay or outstanding balance. Mrs. Campbell said the changes eliminated any eligibility restrictions in the family planning clinic, and this would likely result in a loss of some revenue from the private payor source. She said the health department had to comply with the policy requirements or a loss of Title X funding might occur along with a loss of access to the discounted government rates for medicines. Note: The Board of Health recently approved uncollected patient account write offs totaling $15,333.63. The write offs occurred due to no account activity since June 30, 2003. (No formal action was needed as this update was given for informational purposes.) 2. Request from the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners for a Legislative Liaison: Chairman Norman consented to serve as the county's liaison with the NCACC. 3.

Request from Rocky River Promenade, LLC/Warren Dumford, Applicant, for the Release of Zoning/Subdivision Jurisdiction to the Town of Mooresville for 19.98 Acres: Acting Planning Director Steve Warren presented the following staff report for this request.

Commissioner Johnson said he felt #3 should be deleted. Johnson said supporting the conservation of working lands and farm land preservation were noble goals, but he questioned where the money would be found to pay the costs. He said one payment method being studied in Raleigh was to make a person go back ten years instead of three (if a piece of property is sold under farm use now, the existing year's difference between farm use and the market price taxation is used with the owner going back three years to pay.) Johnson said the ten-year arrangement would be devastating to people with farmland. Commissioner Williams said every opportunity given to the board to support and retain the value tax, and to not allow it to be diluted, should be taken. Commissioner Johnson said the board members needed to review Senate Bill 1907, and this would explain how #3 would be paid. Commissioner Williams said he understood that the North Carolina Department of Revenue would like nothing better than to eliminate farm use altogether, and the board needed to stand up for it. OTION by Commissioner Johnson to endorse #1 and #2 but that the endorsement of #3 should be withheld for at least the present time. VOTING: Ayes -4; Nays— 1 (Williams) 0 Justice and Public Safetv 1.

Gang Prevention, Intervention and Suppression - Support additional funds for gang prevention, intervention and suppression activities. 3. Court Facility Fees - Support legislation to allow counties to collect additional facilities fees to help fund capital, operational and other needs associated with ever-increasing judicial activities. OTION by Commissioner Johnson to approve goals #1 and 3 but to omit #2. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. Human Services 1. Mental Health a) Support an increase in alcohol taxes to fund mental health services for target populations that are not Medicaid -eligible, and support state funding sufficient to support a fee structure adequate to assure that private providers of Mental Health, Developmental Disability, and Substance Abuse services will make these services available, accessible, and affordable to all citizens. b) Support legislation to exempt mental health services for the deaf and hard of hearing from the divestiture process and encourage cross -regional development of partnerships to provide these services. 2. Social Services a) Support legislation to identify and eliminate barriers to employment for direct caregivers to facilitate quality care in non -institutional settings. b) Support legislation to phase out the county share of the state -county Special Assistance program and to lengthen the time of in-state residence required to qualify for special assistance, preferably to one year. c) Support additional state funds for child care to eliminate the daycare waiting list. d) Support legislation to have indigent appeals in DSS cases handled by the court-appointed trial attorney, rather than the appeal being filed by the trial attorney, but perfected and prosecuted by the Office of Indigent Defense Services. e) Support legislation to restore the $570,000 in Area Agencies on Aging state funds which were cut in 2003. f Support legislation to streamline certification of foster children for residential treatment. 3.

Health and Social Services Automation Support state funding for the Health Information System and the NC FAST automation initiative in social services. OTION by Commissioner Johnson to approve the Human Services goals with the exception of 2 (c)) (Support additional state funds for child care to eliminate the daycare waiting list.) which should be deleted. VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0. Commissioner Robertson said the NCACC goals, consisting of nine pages, amounted to "spend more money and raise more taxes." He said people wondered why there were potholes on I-77, no money for roads, and a failing educational system in North Carolina. He said the proposed goals helped to explain why the poor conditions existed, and the present problems needed to be resolved before the state undertook any new programs.
