Ms. Morris stated the current Consent Agreement is expired and the developer needs to negotiate a new Consent Agreement in order to move forward. She stated the applicant is requesting the build-out schedule and the timing of the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) payment be amended. She reported that Mr. Calvin Kiser, representative of the developer, is present to answer any questions. Vice Chairman Mynatt MOVED to approve a Consent Agreement between Cabarrus County and Triune Development, LLC for the Castlebrook Manor subdivision, including the payment of $9,034.00 per lot to advance school adequacy due at permitting for 28 lots (the remaining 92 lots to be paid prior to final platting); including the following build-out schedule: 28 lots in 2009, 15 lots in 2010, 15 lots in 2011 and 12 lots in 2012; and to authorize the County Manager to execute the Agreement on behalf of Cabarrus County, subject to review or revisions by the County Attorney. Commissioner Carruth seconded the motion. Commissioner Privette voiced his intent to vote against the motion, noting school overcrowding. Commissioner Poole voiced her intent to vote against the motion, noting the Board's current policy is to collect APED payments at final platting rather than at permitting. She stated if the Board intends to continue to approve the payment of fees at permitting, then the policy should be amended. Vice Chairman Mynatt stated in these economic times, it is critical not to ask developers to pay APFO fees at platting and allow developers to pay at permitting. The MOTION carried with Chairman White, Vice Chairman Mynatt and Commissioner Carruth voting for and Commissioners Poole and Privette voting against. Commissioner Carruth requested to add a discussion regarding the Board's current policy of APFO payments to the May 9 Agenda Work Session. - New Government Offices Complex - Cabarrus Avenue
