NEW BUSINESS Riehl&nd Creek Preliminar~ Plat A~plication - Case C01-05 (S) Mr. Jonathan Marshall, Planning Services Director, presented C01-0S(S), the preliminary plat approval (revision of 1998 approval) for the Highland Creek Subdivision. The applicant, Rhein Interests of Charl~te, LLC, plans to add another 127 lots to the 1,134 lots already approved in the subdivision. A Consent Agreement is in place for the first 1,134 lots and $400,000.00 has' been paid to advance school capacity. The proposed density for the 1,261-tot subdivision is 3.09 u~its per acre on 407.618 acres. Water and sewer service will be furnished by Charlott~ Mecklenburg Utilities and then turned over to the City of Concord when the water supply issues are resolved. To address adequate public facility requirements for the additional lots, Rhein Interests has agreed to participate in the realigrb~ent of Christenbury Road and extension of Concord Mills Boulevard at a cost up to $250,000.00 and will assume responsibility for the design, permitting and construction of the road project (lette~ dated October 26, 2001 from James M. Medall, Vice President of Rhein Interests). Cabarrus County and the North Carolina Department of Transportation will also participate financially in the road project along with the Christenbury family who will donate the right-of-way for th~ road realignment. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-2 to approve the technical design of Highland Creek and voted 9-0 to deny the subdivision (127 lots) based on adequate public facilities requirements. There was lengthy discussion regarding the subdivision approval process and the adequate public facilities requirements. The Board addressed the following issues: (1) the nunPDer of approved lots (10,000+) in the county and the uncertainty as to when those lots will be developed; (2) the method of projecting future school population; (3) consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission of approved lots, school capacity and expected enrollment during the subdivision approval process; and (4) how to determine when new schools should be built. In addition, the Board briefly discussed the developer's offer to participate in the Christenbury Road project that will improve the safety situation in that area of the county.
