Barnhart, Chairman <br /> Board of Commissioners <br />ATTEST: <br />/s/ Frankie F. Bonds <br />Frankie F. Bonds, Clerk to the Board <br /> <br />UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />Rezoning Petition 95-02 (B, J. Barbee Property Located on Macedonia Church Road <br />at N.C. 73) <br /> <br /> Commissioner Fennel introduced discussion of Petition 95-02 which the Board <br />deferred on July 17 until this date. <br /> <br /> Mr. Maurice Ewing, Executive Vice-President of the Greater Cabarrus County <br />Economic Development Corporation, reported he had received four viable inquiries <br />about the Barbee property during the past 60 days. However, he advised that a <br />60-day period was not long enough for developers to make a $1 million decision <br />concerning this property. Mr. Ewing stated in his opinion the property can be <br />sold and developed as industrial property but he could not tell the Board when <br />this would occur. <br /> <br /> Stating that additional information had come up regarding the Barbee <br />property, Commissioner Fennel moved to delay a decision for an additional two <br />weeks and to direct the County Attorney to meet with Mr. B. J. Barbee and his <br />attorney during the next two weeks. The motion was seconded by Commissioner <br />Casper. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hartsell recommended that Mr. Richard Koch, attorney for the Planning <br />and Zoning Board, represent Cabarrus County in this matter. Commissioners Fennel <br />and Casper agreed to this amendment to the motion. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Olio-Mills requested that the motion be further amended to <br />state that the Board will approve Petition 95-02 to rezone the Barbee property <br />if nothing has come about during the next two weeks. Commissioners Fennel and <br />Casper declined to accept this amendment. <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Fennel, seconded by Commissioner Casper with <br />Commissioners Fennel, Casper, and Niblock and Chairman Barnhart voting for and <br />Commissioner Olio-Mills voting against, the Board moved to delay a decision on <br />Petition 95-02 for an additional two weeks and directed Mr. Richard Koch, <br />Planning and Zoning Board Attorney, to meet with Mr. B. J. Barbee and his <br />attorney during the ~ext two weeks. <br /> <br />Budget Amendments Schools <br /> <br /> Mr. John Day, Budget Officer/Area Manager, reviewed the proposed funding <br />for the Rocky River Elementary School and the expansion of the J. N. Fries Middle <br />School. The County will seek installment-purchase financing in January 1996 for <br />the construction of the new elementary school. Capital reserve funds of $1.327 <br />million will be used for the J. N. Fries expansion project. <br /> <br /> Chairman Barnhart made a motion to adopt the budget amendment as presented <br />to establish the Rocky River Elementary School Capital project budget. Motion was <br />seconded by Commissioner Niblock. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Fennel expressed concern that the school/park concept was not <br />included in the final design of the Westside Elementary School. He asked that <br />Chairman Barnhart's motion be amended to read as follows: <br /> <br />Move for the adoption of the Rocky River Elementary School Capital <br />Project budget as presented and in addition that the services of a <br />parks and recreation consultant be retained and paid out of this <br />capital project budget. The consultant will work with the County <br />Parks and'Recreation Director and the architect to plan and design <br /> <br /> <br />
