O. Box 707 <br />Concord,. NC 28026-0'~07 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Slack: <br /> <br />We have re~,iewed the pr 'elmtinary plat for Cabarrus Farms Subdivision, located on Bethel School Road. It <br />is our und~siandiag this plat is scheduled for review by the Planning anti Zoning Commission on <br />September 21, 2000. This subdivision is located in the Bethel Elementaz3' School, J. N. Fries Middle <br />School and Central Cabarms High School attendance areas. Although a subdivision of 192 lot~ will have <br />some impact on Bethel. the school currently has space to accommodate a development of this size at this <br />time. <br /> <br />However, the middle and high school serving this area are pmsentIy capped due to being over core <br />capaci~'. The alternate schools currently serving the new students in this area are Mt. Pleasant Middle <br />School and Mt. Pleasant High School At the endofthe first month enrollment at Mt Pleasant IVliddle was <br />722 students with a core capacity of 750 students. Mt. Pleasant High School's end of first month <br />enrollment was 962 with a core capacity of 1000 students. With other growth that is expected in both the <br />Mt. Pleasant and Central Cabarms f~eder districts, both Mt. Pleasant Middie and Mt. Pleasant High School <br />will most likely be over their core capacit7 by tho end of this school year. It appears that adequate middle <br />school space will not be availnble until the fall of 2002. This is the projected opening date for the two new <br />middle schools. We will open J. M. Robinson High School in the fall of 2001. At that time we will have <br />adequate high school capacity for future growth in the ciq' and county. <br /> <br />Therefore, we would respectively request ,that approval of any new subdivision be delayed until we have <br />adequate facilities in place to accommodate growth generated by new home construction This should <br />occur upon the completion of three proposed new schools and the opening of the new high school next fall. <br /> <br />If you need additional information or need further clarification, please contact our office. <br /> <br />LeonardD.
