He provided the following information: 1) Phasing of development allows staff to see how the building schedule matches up with the school building program that is underway and projected in the 15-year school facility plan, thus resulting in more accurate projections. 2) The Waterford, Wellington Chase and Pelham pointe subdivisions were submitted under the previous Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances and are subj ect to those regulations and standards. The Enclave was submitted after adoption of the new standards in June. The six subdivisions in the City of Concord were approved by the City and are before the Board for consideration of the Consent Agreement. 3) The projected new students, projected enrollment and available seats for Cabarrus County Schools as shown on the spreadsheet were a result of a meeting with the Assistant School Superintendent who oversees the Schools' IS-Year Plan. 4) Available seats along with the growth in the number of seats based on planned new school construction were factored in the projection with a surplus of 370 seats reflected in 2005, a deficit of 627 seats in 2006 and a surplus of 1,674 seats in 2007. There was lengthy discussion regarding school adequacy and the phasing of developments. The following issues were addressed: the history of allowing developers to advance school adequacy; the 15-year facility plan for the County Schools; on-going work by County staff with the schools on new school construction; length of time from the issuance of a building permit to occupancy of a home; and school adequacy in certain areas of the county as compared to the entire County system. It was noted that three elementary schools (i.e., one near Northwest High School, one at pitts school Road and the Odell replacement school) were included in the bond referendum for construction. Mr. Day reported that the developers for Pelham pointe and Waterford had appealed the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission but had requested that the appeal not be heard by the Board for some indefinite amount of time. He stated the Board could add those appeals to the agenda and the Consent Agreements for the subdivisions were among those scheduled for consideration at this meeting. There was discussion both for and against adding the appeals to the Agenda. The discussion centered on public notice for considering the appeals and the inability to consider the Consent Agreements until there is plat approval. It was noted that the developers for the two subdivisions were present for the meeting.
