334 Mr. Hartsell explained that the potential add-on cost for raising the mobile home from three feet to seven feet ranged from $1,500.00 to $2,500.00. He pointed out that the masonry expense could be eliminated with the granting of a variance for the masonry underpinning. The property has now been annexed into the City of Kannapolis; however, the City has requested that the County handle the variance issue. Mr. Clifton advised that the 15 loads of soil brought onto the site were in violation of the County's Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. UPON MOTION of Chairman Barnhart, seconded by Commissioner Fennel and unanimously carried, the Board directed that the County Attorney draft correspondence to Mr. and Mrs. James C. Sorrow stating the Board is authorizing payment of $2,500.00 for the items listed involving the raising of the mobile home from three feet to seven feet and that the Board is recommending that the Cabarrus County Planning and Zoning Commission waive the masonry requirement for skirting the mobile home. Further, the Board recommended the waiver of the County's Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance relative to the fill material that has been deposited on the site. The action will be subject to the execution of a Release of All Claims by Mr. and Mrs. Sorrow. Mr. Marshall presented a map showing flood plains in Cabarrus County. There was discussion regarding construction in flood plains and the possibility of limiting future development within the 100-year flood plain as well as the possibility of shifting development to areas that do not flood. Staff will pursue this issue and bring suggestions to the Board at a later date. Stormwater Requlations Mr. Marshall briefly discussed the future implementation of Phase II stormwater regulations within the county. Better topographic mapping will be required for the entire county to show the two and five-foot contours. There is a possibility that the City of Concord and WSACC will participate in the costs for the aerial photography project for the county. Staff will provide additional cost information as well as a list of potential providers. Erosion Control Mr. Tony Johnson, Erosion Control Specialist, presented the proposed amended and restated Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance. The proposed amendment incorporates changes to State law that were effective October 1, 1999. The proposed Ordinance will be on the December 20~n agenda for a public hearing and consideration for adoption by the Board. Unified Development Ordinance Mr. Marshall distributed copies of the "draft" Unified Development Ordinance (LIDO) for the municipalities and the County to the Board. Work sessions will be scheduled to review the various sections of the proposed ordinance. Residential Density Impacts Mr. Marshall reviewed Medium Density Development in the County, including the estimated units in the Midland, Central Cabarrus, Harrisburg and West Cabarrus areas along with the estimated number of students that could be generated by that development. Staff uses .6 students per household in calculating the number of students and is working with school staff in redoing the numbers for those areas. There was brief discussion regarding the need for future guidelines to deal with the issue of managing residential development densities as well as possible legislative authority to allow the implementation of impact fees. Recess of Meetinq Chairman Barnhart recessed the meeting at 10:00 p.m. until 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 13, 1999, in the Auditorium at the Cabarrus County Library (Cannon Memorial Branch).
