Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Iuly 21, 1994 Page 19 The Chair stated that the board will take this as a recommendation to the Commissioners on August 15, 1994, at 7:00 p.m. Director's Report Mr. Newton said he asked Jonathan Marshall, who is the lead planner in the Eastern Area Plan to give them a report as he did last month. Mr. Newton said this is a implementation report on what has happened since the plans have been done. Then he has three other items he would like to bring to the board's attention. Mr. Marshall said this implementation report and review was prepared by Sue Russell. He said mostly he will be answering any questions that the board has; ~He said this is the second of these implementation reports that he has given to the board. There were a couple of changes that will need to be made based on something that we have seen since we finished the final copy of this. He said he spbke again with Mr. Brownlow who has been active in organizing a Georgeville Community Association. Mr. Marshall said one of the major goals of all of our areas plans was to, in essence, spur action among residents to form some of these resident groups to be able to address things proactively. We would certainly look forward to working with a Georgeville Community Association. The other is that we point out in here that this is a unique area and that the representation on this board among the 12 members, the 9 members and 3 alternates, we said that there were 1 member and 2 alternates in this area. But actually Mr. Brownlow would fall within this, so there is 2 members and 2 alternates that fall within this Eastern Cabarrus Study Area. Many of the actions were taken up by the zoning ordinance and were met through the adoption of that. Another one of the recommendations of this or some of the major recommendations concern actions that the Town of Mount Pleasant take. Since this area plan was adopted, we have entered into agreement to do their planning and zoning. We are performing some of those actions for them including doing a long range plan for them. Again, some of the things that have not been done concern in particular some assessment of historical matters, historical sites, and historical graveyards. One of the things that has come up is the Mount Pleasant Area Plan and with our dealings with the Mount Pleasant Board it is their desire to look into having a historic district. He said Mary O'Donnell of our staff has done quiet a bit of work in regards to that including putting together a sample ordinance for them already that will be presented as part of our findings of the Mount Pleasant Area Plan. Mr. Marshall said another one of the issues that he noted is that there seems to be some more action on is that there was some discussion in this area plan about improvements to the County water lines and water system in the area of Irish Potato Road and N.C. 73. There has been some further action exploring what will need to be done there. Mr. Newton said he would just add a comment or two to Mr. Marshall's presentation. He said he has been told in the past and he suspects, because he has been told more than once, that it
