,- DRAFT Jonathan Marshall, Planning Services Director, to present information at the May Board meeting detailing past community development activities and opportunities for future projects. Mr. Marshall advised that there have been three separate Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects in the Fishertown/Princeton Park area since the late 1980's. In general, the grants provided for both sewer and housing rehabilitation using a total of $1,330,000.00 in CDSG funds and approximately $1,000,000.00 in County funds. A total of 81 homes were connected to sewer and 69 homes were rehabilitated. In addition, the County extended public water to the area as a non-CDBO project. The water and sewer lines in the area have now been transferred from the County to the City of Kannapolis. Mr. Marshall advised the County could apply for additional CDBG funding to further extend sewer in the area. Mowever, he stated it was staff's opinion the County would not have a competitive grant application since much of the area that is unserved by sewer does not qualify as low to moderate income. In conclusion, Mr. Marshall said the County is currently using HOME funds to rehabilitate homes throughout Cabarrus County. MS. Corine Cannon, resident of Charlie Walker Road, Kannapolis, stated there are 80 persons that need sewer in the Fisherto~rn/Princeton Park area. This includes six homes on Athens and Atlanta Streets as well as homes on Charlestown and Bahama Streets. The Board asked Mr. Marshall to determine the number of Fishertown/Princeton Park area homes that are on failing septic tanks and if the residents would qualify for HOME funds. Mr. Marshall agreed to make a report to the Board at its July meeting. Also, he will send Ms. Cannon a synopsis of the review that staff will make of conditions in the area. Naminq 9f an Unnamed Road off Barrier Road The Board held a public hearing on April 17, 2000 concerning the naming of an Unnamed Road off Barrier Road as 'Cindy Lane." Several residents objected to the proposed road name during the public hearing. Therefore, the Board tabled consideration of the road name change to allow the residents an opportunity to reach an agreement regarding a road name. Mr. Marshall reported that the residents of the Unnamed Road have not yet agreed to a road name. The Board agreed to defer the issue until the June meeting. Mr. Marshall will notify the residents that the Board intends to move forward at that time with a road name that is agreed upon by more than 50 percent of the property owners based on road frontage. ~pq~i~er$~pn of Resolution Authorizina the Exchanae of the Ode11 School property The Board deferred the consideration of the proposed resolution concerning the exchange of the Odell School property for land belonging to J & B Management and Development Company at its meeting on March 20 and again on April 17, 2000.
