She also requested the Board hold a public hearing. Chairman White opened the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. The Public Hearing Notice was published on August 7 and 19, 2008 in the CHARLOTTE OBSERVER (Your Week in Cabarrus County). The Chairman acknowledged Scott Robertson, who voiced concerns with the proposed plan during the "Informal Public Comments" portion of the meeting. Mr. Robertson responded that the Board had already been made aware that he opposed the proposed plan and he had no additional comments. Marie Ramseur, resident of 2989 Brantley Road in Kannapolis, stated the proposed map is not available on the County website for viewing and she would like to see what is being voted on. In response to Ms. Ramseur's comments, Ms. Morris reported that the proposed land use map, less the zoning changes made to the Lane Street area in Kannapolis, is on the County's website. Other than that one change, she said the map is the same one that was previously presented to the public and presented at the last open house. Using the overhead projector, Ms. Morris displayed the proposed map for the audience to view and described the changes to the map in the Lane Street area. Ms. Ramseur stated her understanding is that the plan stops at Old Concord-Salisbury Road and the map being displayed extends the zoning across Old Concord-Salisbury Road. Ms. Ramseur expressed concern becauseshe lives in and is a beneficiary of land in the area where zoning changes may be proposed. She also stated that the zoning of her personal property was previously changed without her knowledge. In response, Ms. Morris identified the areas on the map which are subject to zoning changes and areas that will not be changed. She also explained that in order for parcels to be developed at higher densities than what the County's zoning permits, particularly ones located within the utility service boundary that was established with Concord, would be annexed into Concord, receive utilities from Concord and develop under Concord's standards at the same densities that are in the proposed plan. When Ms. Ramseur posed additional questions regarding the proposed plan, Ms. Morris pulled her aside and explained the plan further. With there being no one else to address the Board, Chairman White closed the public hearing.
