PLANNING STAFF REPORT TO <br />CABARRUS COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />Tuesday, January 19, 1999 <br /> <br />Staff Usc Only: <br /> <br /> Denied: <br /> l'abh:d: <br /> <br />At build-out, this subdivision may add approximately 63 (105 lots x .6) <br />children to the school district (See Exhibits 2 and 3). <br /> <br />Please see Exhibit 5 showing the number of unplatted lots in the A.T; Allen, <br />J.N. Fries, and Central Cabarrus districts. Unplatted lots are lots that have <br />been given preliminary plat approval, but have not been recorded. The point <br />of this map is that there are many lots in the same school districts as <br />Stonegate that have already been given preliminary plat approval and will <br />impact school capacity in the near future. <br /> <br />The Board of Commissioners and Highland Creek reached a settlement (See <br />Exhibit 6) where the latter deposited $400,000 in an escrow fund to be <br />allocated towards purchasing a school site in return for subdivision <br />approval. Mr. Moser has made a similar offer (See Exhibit 7) to the County <br />in exchange for approval. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />It is the recommendation of planning staff that the preliminary plat for <br />Stonegate subdivision be DENIED until such time that school facilities are <br />adequate to serve the expected number of students generated by this <br />proposed development, unless the Board decides Mr. Moser's offer is <br />adequate enough to advance school capacity. <br /> <br />This recommendation is based on the fact the school system cannot <br />adequately handle the additional students generated by this proposed <br />development (See Exhibits 2, 3, and 4 pertaining to the school distr/ct's <br />comments and school enrollment/capacity chart). <br /> <br />PZC Action: <br /> <br />On Thursday, December 17, 1998, the Cabarrus County Planning and <br />Zoning Commission VOTED 8°0 TO DENY the preliminary plat for <br />Stonegate subdivision at this time because the proposed development does <br />not meet the adequate public facilities provision of the Cabarrus County <br />Subdivision Ordinance (Section 66-81): Specifically, the Cabarrus County <br />School District does not have adequate facilities at this time to serve the <br />estimated number of students who would be' generated by the proposed <br />development. <br /> <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br />Stonegate Preliminary Plat <br /> <br /> <br />
