Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes December 14, 2021 Mr. Corley said important clarifications, and some inconsistencies, with some model ordinances he thinks is very important and he believes this clears it up and addresses some minor typos. There being no further discussion, Mr. Brent Rockett MOTIONED, SECONDED by Mr. Andrew Nance, to recommend Approval of the text amendments to the Board of commissioners. The vote was unanimous. Legal Update Mr. David Goldberg, Deputy County Attorney, addressed the Board giving an update on the McClain RV case. We have the Judgement against him. We have been in contact with Mr. McClain for the first time in a while. He has officially moved here to Cabarrus County. He is talking with us a little bit. Ms. Morris told Mr. Goldberg earlier today that we are not seeing any forward progress as far as him resolving the situation. Mr. McClain says he wants to and that he gets it, but he is not showing it. We will show some level of flexibility if he works towards it but that has not happened so far. We are going to be moving towards the collection process, $3,500 in Civil penalties he has accrued so far. Mr. Goldberg has also put in the bill of cost, so we can collect all the fees and filing costs that we have spent on that case so far, so we can minimize the cost to the County on that. There are couple of other things that we are going to try to do but eventually we may have to abate the violation ourselves and deal with that. Those are all options on the table as we go forward. Directors Report Ms. Susie Morris asked that the Board be sure to let Staff know 24 hours in advance if they are not going to be present for a meeting. We are working on getting a person for the Midland area, but right now we are in a bind when people are not here because we are down two positions plus then we have absences. It is important that we have a full complement of the Board for the Board of Adjustment cases because the Applicant can Table until the next meeting and that gets things backed up. Ms. Morris is going to propose to the Board of Commissioners over the next couple of months that the Northwest position that is open becomes an at large position. Because of annexations by the City of Concord and Kannapolis, there is not a lot of unincorporated area left there. We want to try to staff up the Planning and Zoning Commission a little easier. Ms. Morris introduced new staff member and Planner, Ms. Sandy Howell. She comes to us with ten years of direct experience in Planning and Zoning, a graduate of Appalachian State. She also has some other work experience that will be beneficial to us. She is in the role of Planner, presenting cases. One of her first priorities will be helping us get the APFO data base up to par, so that we know what is happening with development and the back side of it. Hopefully, at some 8
