Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes November 21, 1996 Page 5 The Chair said as she understands it, they have met the requirement on the buffer yard, so there is no waiver. The vote was 2 to 5, the Chair and Mr. Hobbs for the Motion; Ms. Harkey, Mr. Moose, Mr. Hill, Mr. Kiefer, and Mr. Lane against the Motion. The Motion was denied. Mr. Moose said the egress and ingress to and from Highway 49 to this piece of property is not sufficient and safe with the volume of traffic that is going to be proposed for this property. It is a very congested area out there already. The roads out there are not capable of handling that much more traffic. Ms. Harkey said not only Highway 49, but Blackwelder Road itself is narrow. Mr. Lane said it is one thing for sure and that is Cabarrus County is becoming a bedroom area for Charlotte. It is going to be developed one way or the other. But until we have the proper transportation for the people that live there, he does not think the Board should approve it. The Chair said to Mr. Wilson since the Board denied this preliminary plat subdivision, they can appeal to the Board of Commissioners. It will be heard at the Commissioners meeting in December. There being no further comments, Mr. Moose MOTIONED to deny Hawick Commons preliminary subdivision plat, seconded by Mr. Kiefer based on the amount of traffic that it would generate on the small road. It will not be safe for the residents in that area. The vote was 5 to 2, Mr. Moose, Mr. Kiefer, Mr. Hill Ms. Harkey, and Mr. Lane for denial; The Chair and Mr. Hobbs against the denial. Mr. Wilson said to the Board that he has already submitted the subdivision to NCDOT for review and approval. He said they have visited the site and checked the sight distances and the actual traffic on Blackwelder Road, and they have not found any problems with issuing them a driveway permit for the site. /O
