281 on Tuesday evening in Hickory regarding the proposed new watershed classifications by the State. The Board briefly discussed the importance of protecting the watersheds in order to maintain adequate supplies of fresh drinking water. Mr. Jonathan Marshall, member of the Cabarrus County Planning staff, reviewed the proposed Harrisburg Area Land Use Plan which included the study area largely defined by the Township One boundaries. The boundaries of the area were as follows: the line between Cabarrus and Mecklenburg Counties to the west and south; Mallard Creek, Rocky River, the Township line, and Highway 49 at its intersection with U.S. 601 to the north; and a line formed by U.S. 601 and Flowes Store Road to the county line to the east. Mr. Marshall discussed concerns relative to the rural preservation of the area, cluster housing, and the availability of public utilities. Chairman Simmons opened the public hearing at 7:08 P.M. for the proposed Harrisburg Area Land Use Plan. Mr. Donald Hill, who owns property adjoining Pine Grove Church Road and Lower Rocky River Road, questioned the effect of the adoption of the Land Use Plan on the priority rating for the Reedy Creek Interceptor funding. He expressed concern that it would decrease the priority for the interceptor. Board members indicated that the adoption of the proposed plan should have no effect on the Reedy Creek Interceptor priority rating. There was no one else present who wished to speak regarding the proposed Plan, and Chairman Simmons closed the public hearing at 7:16 P.M. UPON MOTION of Chairman Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Payne with Chairman Simmons and Commissioners Payne and Hamby voting for, the Board deferred the adoption of the proposed Harrisburg Area Land Use Plan until the next regular meeting of the Board.
