I I I September 5, 2006 (Recessed Meeting) Page 87 designed to improve the quality of life, designed to increase property values and minimize the tax burden on our community to provide services for infrastructure and to accommodate changes like road improvements, school, publlc safety, etc., by expanding the County's tax base. He said he is excited to have amenities closer to home and has tried to objectively review all the arguments regarding this petition. He said Mr. Wayne's proposed plan is well thought out in terms of logistical, environmental, aesthetics and addresses highway safety concerns raised by the residents of the Odell communi ty. He also said Mr. Wayne has attempted to meet with the rezoning opponents, listen to their concerns and modify his original plans to resolve the concerns of the group. He said Mr. Wayne specifically identified the types of business that will be involved with this property. He reported there seems to be a rumor that rezoning this property will subject the neighbors to such things as slaughterhouses and adult bookstores. He said this type of rhetoric offends the sensibility of anyone who knows Mr. Wayne and the family selling this property. He said this project will truly be an asset to our immediate neighborhood, but will also set a great example of the type of planned growth that can occur within Cabarrus County and add value to all residents in the expanded community. Finally, he said Park Creek is a co~~unity with approximately 40 families; the second phase of this community will double the number of families; Park Creek was developed with great care and pride by Mr. Wayne and that his thoughtful approach to design and layout of the community and his active involvement with builders and residents has ensured the quality and value of the properties.

Allison 986 Odell School Road Concord, NC 28027 Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners P.O. Box 707 65 Church Street South Concord, NC 28026-0707 Subject: Conditional District Rezoning Wayne Brother, Inc. Corporate Office and Operations Center Dear Cabarrus County Commissioners: I have been residing on Odell School Road in western Cabarrus County since 1972. I also own 101.59 acres of land just off Highway 3 on Tuckaseegee Road which is also in Cabarrus County. After reviewing the afore mentioned (sic) "Conditional Use Rezoning" issue, I would like to go on record as being in agreement with the Cabarrus County Planning and Zoning Commission wi th regard to their decision on June 20, 2006 to approve this rezoning petition. I, along with my neighbors, have recogni zed great benefits from the retail stores and commercial business at Poplar Tent Road and George Lyles Boulevard. As consumers of products and services, we are going to be out and about conducting these activities. It is really great to travel only two to four short miles rather than the much greater distance as in years past. I also enj oy seeing my friends and neighbors being employed right in my neighborhood. The Super Target Shopping Center will open soon, as well. There are some good things happening at the intersection of Poplar Tent Road and Highway 73 West. The project on Highway 3 at Davidson Road is going to be not only beneficial to the community but greatly needed in the years to come. From a dollar and cents view point, it is easy to see that Cabarrus County residents in this area could easily do their spending in Iredell, Mecklenburg or Rowan counties. And of course we all know what this type of progress does for land values along with the associated property taxes. This rezoning is an excellent opportunity for us to bring trade into our county.
