Town of Maggie Valley

Special Call Planning Board Meeting

January 21, 2005

MINUTES

 

Members Present:       Billy Brede, Brenda O’Keefe, Jerry Zerbock, Billy Case and Richard Pierce by phone.

Staff Present:              Planning Director Kevin Byrd and Town Clerk Vickie Best

Others Present:           Alderman Roger McElroy

 

Mr. Pierce was allowed to participate via conference call after advisement was sought from the NC League of Municipalities. The League attorney advised that he would not recommend a conference call from an elected official due to General Statue requirements. Since this was a planning board meeting, the vice-chairman of the planning board is the developer and can provide documentation on previous approval of said subdivision, a quorum is difficult to achieve due to the chairman being unable to attend, and both parties have agreed, and the requested change appears to exceed the subdivision requirements, the conference call would be allowed but not suggested to become a regular happening.

 

The Clerk administered the oath of office to Ms. Brenda O’Keefe and Mr. Billy Brede. Council appointed Ms. O’Keefe and reappointed Mr. Brede.

 

Revision of Campbell Mountain Estates

Mr. Brede wishes to delete one cul-de-sac, change the sewer entrance into the subdivision, and adjust the lot boundary after removal of the cul-de-sac. The common area remains the same. The revision will still exceed Residential 1 requirements and the requested change will make for a better “family community”.

 

MR. PIERCE MOVED TO EXCUSE MR. BREDE FROM VOTE DUE TO PERSONAL CONFLICT. MS. O’KEEFE SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED.

 

Mr. Pierce informed the board that he had received the needed documentation pertinent to the requested revisions via Fed Ex.

 

The board discussed the proposed revisions and the impact thereof. The revised plat shows in detail the requested changes. The original plat was submitted February 2003. The Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a variance early 2004.

 

Mr. Byrd informed the board that he had reviewed the revisions and recommends approval.

 

Mr. Pierce concurred.

 

MR. CASE MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REVISION FOR LOTS 150 THROUGH 160 AS PRESENTED. MR. PIERCE SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED.

 

THERE BEING NO FUTHER BUSINESS TO DISCUSS THE MEETING ADJOURNED AT 3:18 P.M. BY MOTION OF MR. CASE, SECONDED BY MR. BREDE, ALL IN FAVOR.

 

Vice- Chairman Billy Brede                                        Town Clerk Vickie Best
