52 Mr. Thomas B. Robinson, Planning Director, reviewed the proposed Ten-Year Growth Transition Overlay District. He stated that smaller lot sizes in this proposed district would make the lots more affordable and would allow the property owners to tie on to the public water and sewer when available. Mr. Robinson further stated that the boundaries of the district had been drawn to include those areas in which sewer could feasibly be provided within the next ten years. Mr. Manuel Kiser objected to the proposed Ten-Year Growth Area, stating it was too small an area and did not allow reduced lot sizes throughout the county. He requested that the proposed boundaries be changed to include an area on Cold Springs Road South. Commissioner Payne asked that the proposed western boundary be expanded along Highway 73 West to the Mecklenburg County line. There being no one else to speak regarding the proposed Ten-Year Growth Area, the public hearing was closed. Mr. John R. Boger, Jr., County Attorney, stated that if the boundaries on the proposed Ten-Year Growth Area were changed it would be advisable for the proposal to be sent back to the Planning Board and readvertised before consideration by the Board of Commissioners at a later meeting. He also noted that the proposed Ten-Year Growth Area could be adopted as presented and amended at a later date to include the additional areas. The motion by Commissioner Payne and seconded by Chairman Lentz to adopt the Ten-Year Growth Area as presented failed with Commissioner Payne and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioners Barnhardt, Milloway, and Nash voting against. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Nash, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board moved that the boundaries of the proposed Ten-Year Growth Area be changed from the map that had been submitted to the Board and public as follows. That the proposed Ten-Year Growth Area be expanded on the western side by extending the line westerly along Highway 73 West to the Mecklenburg/Cabarrus County line and southerly along the Mecklenburg/ Cabarrus County line to the point where it reaches the extraterritorial zoning limits of the Town of Harrisburg. That the proposed Ten-Year Growth area be expanded on the eastern side starting at Highway 73 East and Cold Springs Road and run easterly to Walker Road. Thence follow a southerly direction to Cold Springs Road South. Then follow southerly Cold Springs Road South to the intersection of Cold Springs Road South and Highway 601. The Board referred the amended Ten-Year Growth Area proposal back to the Planning Board for review and directed that it be readvertised before consideration by the Board of Commissioners at a later meeting. The motion by Commissioner Payne and seconded by Chairman Lentz to adopt the Lot Reduction Amendment and the Ten-Year Growth Area as advertised failed with Commissioner Payne and Chairman Lentz voting for and Commissioners Barnhardt, Milloway, and Nash voting against. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned. Clerk to the Board
