Watts, Planner, presented the Consent Agreement for the Hawthorne Subdivision project that was approved by the Town of Harrisburg Planning and Zoning Board on November 21, 2006. The project, developed by Meridian Development Group (MDG), consists of 109 single-family-residential units on +/-82.03 acres and is located on Peach Orchard Road. She stated Robert Stark, a representative of MDG, is available to answer questions and the build-out schedule was revised to reflect the new Hickory Ridge High School. She reported the Agreement includes a payment of $9,039.00 per lot to advance school adequacy that is due at final platting and the proposed build-out schedule is as follows: no more than 24 lots to be platted in 2007; no more than 32 lots platted in 2008; no more than 32 lots platted in 2009; and no more than 16 lots platted in 2010. Including previously approved subdivisions, she said the Rocky River Elementary School would be functioning at 161.76 percent; C.C. Griffin Elementary School - 181.92 percent; and Central Cabarrus High School - 98.67 percent. She pointed out the students from the Hawthorn subdivision project will attend Hickory Ridge High School that is expected to open in August, 2007. In closing, she restated Mr. Stark's availability to answer questions. Commissioner Mynatt expressed her desire to consider the consent agreements in the order they were approved by the Planning and Zoning Boards and to review the build-out schedules for all three subdivisions that are on the Agenda. Chairman Carruth reported two new elementary schools are planned for 2009 and 2010, southeast of the Rocky River Elementary School and south of Harrisburg. He also reported a new middle school, south of NC Highway 99, is in the plan for 2009 that will relieve C.C. Griffin; however, funding for this school has not been identified. John Day, County Manager, pointed out the Board's policy is to consider the impact on the schools as a whole district and until the policy is changed, decisions should be consistent with the policy. Richard M. Koch, County Attorney, reviewed the two ~~ptions available: (1) approve the consent agreement; or (2) table the consent agreement and ask the staff to negotiate with the developer for a delayed build-out schedule. He said the Board has the option to delay the project, but has not chosen this option in the past. Chairman Carruth commented on the need to begin planning for another high school. Commissioner White suggested the policy and how it can be changed be addressed at the next work session. Mr. Day pointed out that changes to the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance were presented to the Board in December or January; the Board wanted the changes presented to the community in a larger setting; and invited the Boards of Education and the Cities to attend.
