TB CZ-2025-07 Staff Packet_Redacted.pdf 00b._TB_Draft_Ordinance_CZ-2025-07__1_.pdf Mayor Carney opened the public hearing at 6:25 p.m. James Coley presented Whitney Hodges, Planning Consultant at Bowman Development Group, Pete Dickerson with OMD Engineering and Jeff Moore with J.M. Teague Engineering & Planning also presented. Town Attorney Sharon Crawford asked Whitney Hodges whether the applicant agreed to the updated Ordinance containing 18 proposed conditions. Ms. Hodges confirmed that the applicant was present. Applicant Ken Cardos, Regional President with Epcon Communities, added that they accept all UDO conditions but wished to discuss the MMA requirements related to roadway improvements at Presbyterian Road. Based on their traffic counts, the development is expected to have minimal impact on that intersection, and they requested consideration of not being required to implement improvements at that intersection. Ken Cardos noted that their Page 6 of 11 traffic engineer could address the data if needed. Mayor Carney asked whether this request pertained to one of the 18 conditions. The Town Attorney clarified that Condition 13 states all traffic mitigations must be constructed in accordance with the signed Mitigation Measures Agreement and asked the applicant whether they were seeking to revise that condition. There was considerable discussion regarding another development that is required to install a right turn lane at the intersection of Presbyterian Road and this applicant taking responsibility for the installation of that turn lane, should the other developer not complete that improvement. Kevin Blayton, Public Services Director, explained that this is about the cumulative impact of multiple developments tracking at about the same time that affect the same intersection. He used an example with Development A’s TIA triggers the improvement, namely installation of the right turn lane at the Presbyterian Road intersection, then Development B which is tracking very closely behind includes that improvement, the right turn lane, and that volume of traffic at that intersection in their TIA. This triggers the if, then statement of if Developer A doesn’t complete the improvement, then Developer B must complete the right turn lane at this intersection. If they want to alter that condition, then this applicant must revise their TIA to consider whether or not their traffic alone would trigger the same improvement. Following this discussion, Attorney Crawford reiterated the question for the record of whether the applicant was agreeable to the 18 conditions in the updated Ordinance which includes the updated and signed MMA. Mr. Cardos agreed to the statement by Attorney Crawford accepting the conditions. 4 members of the public spoke during Public Comment. The applicant presented their rebuttal. Closed public hearing at 7:11 p.m. Moved by Lisa Qualls, seconded by Eddie Dingler, to approve CZ-2025-07 with the agreed-upon conditions, specifically that there is not connectivity to Eastport Lane, because the proposal is consistent with the Town’s OneMooresville Plan. Specifically, the proposal is to develop a well- connected single-family development in the new center to serve a growing area. Furthermore, the transition along the East-West Connector is logical and necessary for smart growth in the area. The proposal is reasonable and in the public interest, as it will set the stage for enhancements to utility infrastructure and capacity in the vicinity, dedicate future right-of-way, and create walking trails and pathways for the public. Furthermore, the partial expansion of the East-West Connector will further public infrastructure to serve the public interest.
