Charter Caldwell Station Apartments: Wall Removal Approved
The board considered a decision on petition R-26-06, a request by Charter Properties Inc. to remove a portion of a wall for the Charter Caldwell Station Apartments along Old Statesville Road. The wall was initially installed in 1998 to buffer single-family homes. Charter Properties has since acquired all adjacent properties, making the wall redundant. Staff and the Planning Board support the removal of the middle section of the 6-ft tall brick wall. The motion to approve revised the rezoning condition, citing consistency with the Huntersville 2040 community plan policy LU 1.1, and deeming the revision reasonable and in the public interest.
Huntersville Approves $75,000 for Critical Home Repairs in Huntington Green
The town considered approving a nonprofit funding agreement for Rebuilding Together of Greater Charlotte, Inc., requesting $75,000 from the affordable housing fund. This funding is intended to supplement other grants for critical home repairs in the Huntington Green neighborhood, focusing on safe and healthy housing for mobile/manufactured homes. Rebuilding Together, a licensed GC, partners with organizations like Caterpillar Ministries. The request highlights the need for town investment because typical federal funds are not applicable to this housing stock. Other funding sources include Lowe's ($25,000) and Lake Norman CDC ($25,000). The repairs address issues like collapsing floors and mold, aiming to improve living conditions and allow residents to age in place, potentially saving Medicaid costs. Eligibility criteria include home ownership, income limits, and timely payment of taxes/mortgage. The motion to approve the funding agreement passed unanimously.
Historical Context of Segregation Shared During Public Comment
B.J. Caldwell provided historical context on segregation, tracing its origins to black codes in Europe (France, Spain, England) from centuries ago, which were later applied in the New World. Caldwell stated that Pottstown residents are descendants of indigenous Native Americans and Europeans who lived under segregation systems created by white settlers. The speaker emphasized that their ancestors endured hardship in 'colored sections' of town and are cheering on the quest for acceptance, inclusion, justice, peace, and harmony. Caldwell noted that while newcomers may know their own town's history, they are unaware of Huntersville's history of segregation. The presentation detailed the black codes enacted by King Louis of France, Spain, and England, which turned human beings into chattel, enabling abuse, and preventing rebellion. Caldwell concluded by mentioning a Juneteenth event at the Waymer Center, emphasizing that Juneteenth is a cultural event for remembering ancestors and learning history.
Resident Seeks Apology and Kindness from Town Board Over Past Incident
During the public comments section, Gatewood Campbell addressed the board, expressing a desire for kindness and a simple apology regarding a past situation involving a FOIA request and text messages where she was mentioned. She stated that while agreement on what happened may not be possible, the board owes her an apology for the way her name has been 'dragged around' and what she has endured. Campbell emphasized that the board works for the people and should acknowledge mistakes, suggesting a phone call to say 'I'm sorry' and 'can we start over?' She highlighted that despite animosity, there are many important community issues to address, such as roads and neighborhood concerns. Campbell stressed the importance of kindness, love, and neighborliness, asking the board to act as upstanding citizens.
Vere Hoff Alignment Study Update: Nature Preserve and Public Input Shape Road Project
An update was provided on the Vere Hoff alignment study for a proposed road. The current alignment was adopted in 2002, but significant developments have occurred since then, including the designation of areas as nature preserves by Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation. Various alternatives were explored, considering existing infrastructure like Duke Energy and Colonial Pipeline facilities. Public feedback indicated mixed opinions, with some opposing the road, some concerned about cut-through traffic, and others in favor. Key concerns included avoiding park property and development in general. Suggestions included developing an alternative route or widening Asbury Chapel Road. Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation has designated portions of their property as a nature preserve, with specific areas protected due to the presence of the Georgia holly species. The board discussed potential alignments, including one along existing power line easements (the 'black line') and another that completely avoids county property. The timeline for construction is not set, as the project is not currently in the town's Capital Improvement Plan, and costs are estimated at $50 million or more.
