Memo Front: CC: Date: Re: Board of Commissioners Jonathan B. Marshall, Planning ServicesA''~'t Frank Clifton, County Manager 12J14/99 Re-survey of County Boundaries The North Carolina Geodetic Survey Office has notified Cabarrus County that our request for resurvey of the Cabarrus County beundades will be partially met next year (see attached letter from Rodger Durham). They propose to complete the survey of the northern County boundary by mapping the correct Rowan/Cabarrus line and installing new monumentation to mark that line. They have also indicated that the Mecklenburg/Cabarrus and Union/Cabarrus lines will be resurveyed and corrected as necessary. NC General Statute 153A-18a permits the appointment of a special commissioner to help supervise the survey and marking of the County boundaries. The basic role of the special commissioner is to consider collected survey and historical data, and to work with representatives of the adjacent counties to best determine the correct boundary. I have attached a copy of the statute to explain further the duties of the special commissioner. I have met with our Tax Administrator, Dawn McHale, and Land Records Manager, Trudi Ashby, and we are proposing that I ~ named that special commissioner. The three of us would then work with the NC Geodetic Survey and our counterparts in adjacent counties to accurately determine the county boundaries. The results of that work will be brought back to the Boards of Commissioners of all affected counties for their review. The Board of Commissioner must ratify the survey and maps of that survey recorded with the Register of Deeds in each affected county for it to become official. If you have any questions concerning this please feel free to contact Dawn McHale or me. · Page 1
