Rezoning Case #1203-1: Request from Owner/Applicant Phifer I. Johnson Limited
Partnership for the Rezoning of 3.2 Acres of a 40.48 Acre Tract from Residential
Agricultural (RA) District to Neighborhood Business (NB) District: Planning Director
Joey Raczkowski described this rezoning case as follows:
EXPLANATION OF THE REQUEST
This is a request to rezone 3.2 acres of a 40.48 acre tract at 111 Rocky River Road in Mooresville
from RA, Residential Agricultural District to NB, Neighborhood Business District. The property has an
existing commercial building that was once used for a grading business. The grading business is
no longer there and the owner would like to use the building for commercial purposes, such as but
not limited to, an auto repair and service business.
OWNER/APPLICANT
OWNER: Phifer I. Johnson Limited Partnership
123 Rocky River Road
Mooresville, N.C. 28115
PROPERTY INFORMATION
LOCATION: At 1 11
Rocky River Road in
Mooresville; more
specifically identified
as PIN # 4665-45-

DIRECTIONS:
Highway 3 south,
right Rocky River
Road, at the end at
the corner of
Shearers Road.
SURROUNDING LAND
USE: This property is
surrounded by
residential uses and
commercial uses.
SIZE: The property is
40.48 acres, but only
3.2 acres is being
proposed for
rezoning.
Legend
Area to be Rezoned
Johnson Property
RA
EXISTING LAND USE: The portion of the property proposed for rezoning currently has a vacant
commercial building.
ZONING HISTORY: This property, as well as the adjoining properties, have been zoned R -A since
county -wide zoning was established in 1990. The property with the Food Lion anchored shopping
center to the south was released into the Town of Mooresville's zoning and subdivision jurisdiction
on January 2, 2007.
OTHER JURISDICTIONAL INFORMATION: This property is located inside of Mooresville's short-term
USA boundary and has been designated as part of a Neighborhood Center in Mooresville's future
land use plan. By definition in Mooresville's land use plan, a Neighborhood Center provides the
essential facilities for the neighborhood in one convenient location and should contain retail,
services, recreation and institutional facilities located in close proximity to one another. The
principle commercial establishment should be a neighborhood grocery store together with smaller
retailers, which already exists across Rocky River Road from this property. The proposed use (auto
repair) is permitted in Mooresville's Neighborhood Mixed -Use zoning district with a conditional use
permit due to the building form criteria in their Zoning Ordinance. The Neighborhood Mixed -Use
zoning district does fit into the Neighborhood Center classification in their land use plan.
OTHER SITE CHARACTERISTICS: This property is not located in a water supply watershed; therefore,
there are no impervious coverage restrictions. The area proposed for rezoning is not located in a
floodplain.
IMPACTS ON LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND/OR FACILITES
TRAFFIC: The property is located at the intersection of Rocky River Road and Shearers Road. In
2009, the average number of vehicles per day on Shearers Road was 7300. In 2010, the average
number of vehicles per day on Rocky River Road was 5000. The capacity for these roads is 11,000
vehicles per day.
SCHOOLS: Because this is a commercial rezoning, there should be no implications on local schools.
FIRE MARSHAL: This proposal has been reviewed by the Iredell County Fire Marshal's Office. The
Fire Marshal's Office has no issues with the proposal.
EMS: This proposal has been reviewed by the EMS Director and he had no problems or comments
with regards to the request.
REQUIRED REVIEWS BY OTHER AGENCIES
LOCAL: The applicant will have to provide a site plan to the Planning & Development Department
for review to change the use or develop the property. Zoning requirements such as parking and
screening will be reviewed at such time. Plans would not be reviewed by the Planning &
Development Department for compliance with Erosion & Sedimentation Control standards unless
there is more than 5000 square feet of disturbed area. In this case, the structures and driveway
are already in place, so it most likely will not be required.
STATE: Other than building code, there should be no formal state agency review at this time.
FEDERAL: None at this time.
STAFF AND BOARD COMMENTS
STAFF COMMENTS: When the request for rezoning was submitted, the Planning staff looked at the
existing building on the property, the zoning districts that would allow the proposed use (auto
repair), how the area was designated on the future land use map in the 2030 Horizon Plan, and
the response from the Town of Mooresville concerning how well the request fit into their future land
use plan.
A portion of the existing building was built in 1970 when the business was started, with an addition
in 1975. The previous use of the property was a grading business, which closed in June of 2011.
The property is located across Rocky River Road from an existing shopping center anchored by
Food Lion as well as a gas station/convenience store, which was developed under the Town of
Mooresville's regulations. A machining company, which is a legal non -conforming use, is located
across Shearers Road and has been there since 1965.
Auto repair would be allowed in all of our commercial and industrial districts, but is not allowed in
NB (Neighborhood Business) and HB (Highway Business) if there would be storage of junk or
wrecked vehicles. Based on conversations with the applicant, it was determined that she did not
want outside storage of junk or wrecked vehicles and that she was satisfied in requesting a
change from RA (Residential Agricultural) to NB (Neighborhood Business).
This site is designated as Rural Commercial in Iredell County's 2030 Horizon Plan, which supports
small-scale commercial uses and small neighborhood service businesses. The staff felt most
comfortable with recommending in favor of the NB district because it fit into the Rural Commercial
designation in the 2030 Horizon Plan and the applicant prefers not to go through the conditional
district process. The Town of Mooresville has designated this area as a Neighborhood Center in
their future land use plan, which includes service business uses.
The Planning staff can support the proposed rezoning request based on the following: The
property is in close proximity to other areas already zoned commercial or designated as Rural
Commercial in the 2030 Horizon Plan. The uses permitted in the NB district fit into the Rural
Commercial designation in the 2030 Horizon Plan. A business has been located on the property
since 1970. Other businesses are already in place at the intersection of Rocky River Road and
Shearers Road. Although the Town of Mooresville would recommend a change to a conditional
use district, the proposed zoning and use fit into the Town's future land use plan designation.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION: Harry Tsumas, Jackie Grigg, and Jeff McNeely visited this site with the
staff on February 15, 2012. On March 7, 2012, the Planning Board held a public meeting to hear
this request. They heard testimony from the staff, the applicant, and one adjoining owner. The
adjoining owner, Rob Newton, was concerned with lighting, water run-off, and sedimentation
issues. The Board asked the staff to comment on Mr. Newton's concerns at which time the staff
informed Mr. Newton that there were regulations in place that would address his concerns. The
staff has also followed up in a letter to Mr. Newton should he have further questions. The Planning
Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this request based on the consistency with the 2030
Horizon Plan.
When asked, Mr. Raczkowski said the Food Lion Grocery Store was served by the Town
of Mooresville's utilities.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Johnson adjourned the hearing.
OTION by Commissioner Mitchell to approve the zoning map amendment and to make a
finding that approval was consistent with the adopted 2030 Horizon Plan and that said approval
was reasonable and in the public's interest due to consistency with the 2030 Horizon Plan; as a
result, said approval furthers the goals and objectives of the 2030 Horizon Plan.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
Presentation (Update) on the Statesville Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP)
from David Keilson with the North Carolina Department of Transportation: Mr. Keilson, an
engineer with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), said the CTP was a
joint effort between Iredell County, the City of Statesville, the Lake Norman Rural Planning
Organization, and the state. He said data collection had been completed, and feedback from the
community was now requested. Keilson reviewed a map containing freeways, expressways,
boulevards, and other major/minor thoroughfares where improvements were needed or
recommended.
The Iredell County Staff Report for the Statesville CTP is as follows:
EXPLANATION OF THE REQUEST
The NCDOT Transportation Planning Branch has requested to present an update to the Board of
Commissioners regarding the status of the Statesville Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP)
given that the project is nearing its midpoint. Included with this staff report is a draft version of the
Statesville Highway Map and Inset Map. Also included is a memorandum from David Keilson with
NC DOT detailing the status of the project.
The Board of Commissioners is invited to provide input or recommendations for improvements to
particular roads included within the study area. Comments will be considered by NC DOT and
may be incorporated into the updated draft that will be completed in approximately six months.
Staff from NC DOT will be present at the meeting to speak in more detail about the draft Statesville
Highway Map and to answer any questions the Board of Commissioners may have at this point in
the project.
The Iredell County Planning Board received a similar presentation from NC DOT at the
March 7, 2012 meeting. At that time, the board members asked several questions and agreed to
provide INC DOT with any comments as the members reviewed the draft Statesville Highway Map.
E
Chairman Johnson thanked Mr. Keilson for the update.
Request for Approval of a Memorandum of Agreement between Iredell County and
the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Sedimentation
Control Commission) Relating to the Local Erosion Control Program: Planning Director
Joey Raczkowski said that when Iredell County assumed the erosion control functions from the
state several years ago, the action occurred through a resolution that stipulated the Sedimentation
and Pollution Control Act of 1973 would be enforced. He said as more North Carolina
jurisdictions took over these types of functions the state realized some type of agreement needed to
be signed to ensure that all of the activities were occurring. Raczkowski said the memorandum of
agreement assured the state that Iredell County was enforcing the 1973 Act. He said the
agreement also stipulated some reporting and inspection requirements, but these were already
being met or exceeded by the staff. Raczkowski said the agreement did not require the staff to do
anything more than what was already occurring. In addition, he said it wasn't anticipated that by
signing the document any additional work would occur in the future.
The staff report for this request is as follows:
EXPLANATION OF THE REQUEST
Mell Nevils, Land Quality Section Chief, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NCDENR), Division of Land Resources, has presented a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) for all Local Erosion Control Programs in the State of North Carolina to sign for the purpose
of clarifying their roles in the enforcement of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973, N.C.
General Statute 1 13A Article 4 and any rules adopted pursuant to the Act (hereinafter collectively,
"SPCA"). This agreement is required to be signed and submitted by the time NCDENR performs the
Local Program's next review. For Iredell County, that will be within the next two years.
IMPACTS ON LOCAL EROSION CONTROL PROGRAM
There currently is not a written agreement between Iredell County and NCDENR regarding our
responsibilities of enforcement. Iredell County petitioned NCDENR to enforce the rules of the
SPCA. This MOA is not legally binding nor does it require Iredell County to perform any additional
responsibilities. Currently Iredell County's Erosion Control Program meets or exceeds all the criteria
referenced in the MOA. Therefore, there is no impact to our program.
STAFF COMMENTS
STAFF COMMENTS: Everything found within the Memorandum of Agreement is already part of the
in the SPCA, except for Part III Section B. Reporting and D. Inspection. Iredell County's Erosion
Control Program already collects and submits all of the documentation and information that DENR
Division of Land Resources and Division of Water Quality requests within the MOA. The MOA is
geared more towards encouraging Local Programs that are not documenting and reporting the
required information into acknowledging that they are required to submit this information to
maintain their agreement with the Sediment Control Commission. Therefore, it is recommended
that Iredell County move forward with signing the MOA for submittal to the NCDENR Division of
Land Resources.
Commissioner Griffith asked if a new commitment would be needed if the requirements
changed.
Raczkowski said the agreement referred to the state law, and as such, it was expected the
document would parallel with any state statute changes.
OTIO by Commissioner Robertson to approve the Memorandum of Agreement.
VOTING: Ayes — 4; Nays — 1 (Griffith)
Request from the Sheriff's Office for Approval of Budget Amendment #42 to
Recognize $83,000 in Seized Funds and to Appropriate for Training: Chief Deputy
Rick Dowdle asked to move $69,000 from seized funds to be used as startup money for a law
enforcement academy at the Ebenezer School site. He said the department would be able to train
its own officers, thereby eliminating the need to go through an " I'TO" program. Dowdle said once
the officers completed their training at the Ebenezer site, they would be able to "go on the road."
He said in-house instructors would be used, and the remaining money ($14,000) would go into the
training budget.
5
Chairman Johnson said he understood the $69,000 would be used for "one time purchases
of equipment and the remainder would be associated with the cost of the program's operating
costs."
Dowdle said no. He said the $69,000 would be for the first part needed by the State of
North Carolina for accreditation to start the school. Dowdle said, "You have to have the
equipment in place before they will sign off on it. The other part is to put in for our training
budget to get us through the rest of the year."
Johnson said he understood that April, May and June were remaining in this fiscal year so
$14,000 would carry the department to the end of June. He said that on an annualized basis this
would be approximately $56,000.
Dowdle said yes.
Johnson asked if the $56,000 would be on-going in the future. He asked if the sheriff's
office would be willing to continue using seized funds for the project, or would it go to the
baseline of the budget.
Dowdle said the office would continue to fund it. He said, "That figure is going to be
relative pretty high versus what I think it's going to end up costing. Until we get in it, I can't
really give an exact figure -- what it's going to continue for the up cost of that."
Johnson said his concern going forward was that the cost of running the sheriff's
department would increase. He said the department ran as much fuel as any department in the
county. Johnson said he didn't want to get into a situation where the baseline operational budget,
or the part the commissioners had control over, increased. He asked for a commitment in the
coming budget year that the $56,000.00, on an annualized basis, didn't wind up in budgets during
the out years where the county had to cover it.
Dowdle said he understood.
Johnson said the board had to be careful in maintaining the baseline operational costs as
much as possible.
Commissioner Mitchell asked if the sheriff's department was experiencing high costs for
propane, similar to gasoline, since several vehicles had been converted.
Dowdle said the propane costs were still low, or the same cost that existed when the
program first started.
Commissioner Griffith asked if the academy could be used by other counties.
Dowdle said yes. He said the students would still be responsible for their books. Chief
Dowdle said a detention school would also exist at the site. He said he didn't have the figures (for
other counties to use the training facility).
MOTION by Vice Chairman Norman to approve Budget Amendment #42.
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION: Chairman Johnson asked if Vice Chairman Norman
would accept an amendment as follows:
OTION to approve Budget Amendment #42 with the understanding that the facility will
be funded in forthcoming years out of seized funds. If a change is needed; however, a request will
be made to the board of commissioners for any additional appropriation.
Vice Chairman Norman agreed with the amendment.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.

Request from the Fire Marshal's Office for Approval of Budget Amendment #43 for
the Appropriation of $69,522 to the Harmony VFD for Equipment: Fire Marshal Ronny
Thompson said the Harmony VFD was requesting aerial truck equipment in order to meet
Insurance Services Office (ISO) minimum requirements. He said Fire Tax District Board
Member Frank Phillips, along with Harmony VFD Chief Trent Cranfill, were attending the
meeting to answer any questions.
Commissioner Griffith clarified that the money would be taken from the fire tax assigned
to the Harmony VFD.
Phillips said this was correct, and funds were available.
Commissioner Mitchell said the aerial truck looked practically new.
Cranfill said the truck was a 1998 model.
Chairman Johnson said news reports indicated that Mr. Trump would close soon on the
purchase of property (The Point Lake and Golf Club) in the southern end. He said that if the deal
closed, and improvements occurred at The Point, it was inevitable that a request would be made to
the Town of Mooresville for annexation to secure utilities. Johnson said this would adversely
affect the tax base supplied to the county for the county wide fire service district. He said in the
past, when disagreements occurred between municipalities and counties regarding debt, that
municipalities had maintained they were responsible for the percentage of the debt as it related to
the county wide fire district. Johnson said counties had maintained that the debt they were
responsible for was the percentage of the debt as it related to the specific fire service district. He
said that in every case that he was aware of, the municipalities had prevailed, and the counties had
lost. Mr. Johnson said that if the county was not careful, it could wind up with a situation where
Mooresville annexed the tax base, and an overwhelming amount of debt would still be the county-
wide fire district's responsibility to service. Chairman Johnson said he wanted to make sure that
everyone was aware of this fact, and the board in the future needed to be careful about any future
indebtedness until the consequences of Mr. Trump's purchase were known. He said this was
being stated in an effort to be upfront about the matter. (The county manager also mentions this topic
in his report at the end of the meeting.)
OTION by Commissioner Mitchell for approval of Budget Amendment #43.
VOTING: Ayes — 5; Nays — 0.
(The equipment will be purchased from C.W. Williams Fire Equipment Specialists at $57,821.56
and Newton's Fire & Safety Equipment at $11,700 for a total of $69, 522.)
Request from the Fire Marshal's Office for the Adoption of the 2012
International Fire Code with North Carolina Amendments and Appendices: Fire Marshal
Ronny Thompson said this was a request to adopt the 2012 International Fire Code with North
Carolina Amendments and Appendices. He said a new code was published about every three
years, and the newest edition needed to be adopted before enforcement could occur. Thompson
said there would not be any costs incurred by the code's adoption.
Commissioner Griffith asked about the change regarding church stoves or fans.
Thompson said the requirements for stove hoods had changed. He said churches seldom
used theirs, and inspections would probably only need to occur once a year. Thompson said in
contrast, a pizza restaurant that used wood might need an inspection every three months. He said
the changes had clarified the equipment's usage.

Request from the Mooresville Graded Schools for Approval to Apply for Lottery
Funds Totaling $434,974: Finance Director Susan Blumenstein said the Mooresville Schools
had submitted an application to request the release of $434,974 from the NC Education Lottery.
She said a total of $965,548 was included as lottery revenue in the current budget to support debt

Request for the Awarding of a Purchase Contract for Four New Ambulance Chassis
to Northwestern Emergency Vehicles: Purchasing Agent Dean Lail said the county requested
Sprinter ambulance bids about a month ago, and the low bid came from Northwestern Emergency
Vehicles at $319,928. Lail requested approval to purchase the vehicles from the low bidder.
Chairman Johnson asked if a specific amount was budgeted.
Lail said the budgeted amount was $340,000.
Commissioner Mitchell asked if this was for the ambulance bodies.
Chairman Johnson said this was for Sprinter ambulances and their upfit.
Lail said this was correct. He said the purchase would be for complete Sprinter
ambulances.
Mitchell asked if the lights were installed.
Lail said the only items needing installation were the radios and possibly computers.
