Charlotte City Council · City Council Business Meeting on 2026-02-09 5:00 PM - Feb 09, 2026 · 9 Feb 2026 meeting

Thank you for that because I just wanted to clarify for community if they were reading through the request that we have tonight that the county, this is a true partnership with the county coming to the table because this was the Toby Creek Sanitary Sewer Construction and Mallory Creek Stream Restoration and

Even though we're looking at a guaranteed maximum amount, our county has already contributed to 100% of the cost associated with the stream restoration, which is a little over $6 million investment that is coming from them.

I also had a question on number 36, which we have the public hearing on Somerville, Mountain Island voluntary annexation.

I wanted a little bit more clarification on, one, Mayor Pro Tem and colleagues, the concern that I have is regarding the impact on the unincorporated area.

So this area by right can be built with 158 units plus, I believe, 14 single family, yet

When you actually go to Mecklenburg County Spatialist and you look at these properties and you look at the most adjacent property, I want to make sure that we're not causing the negative impact when we're looking at annexation for

a large swath of land because you have, I believe it's like four or five owners, but then those that are unincorporated that are still on that same line are not gonna get access to some of the services that the city provide, whether it's sewer water, but also the impact.

of those residents during construction.

We've all received emails from where the construction time, the construction site, where the construction work is part, the impact that it has in area.

So I wanted to, the question that I sent to Maria as well as copied all my colleagues on is how exactly will the other neighbors be notified

Because this is for us to set the public hearing meeting.

How would they be notified if we only go 300 feet?

And in theory, 300 feet are just the owners.

So how are the other residents going to know that this is going to be happening?

Yes, ma'am.

And to your point, other residents...

This is a notice that it will be posted, and I'm sorry I forget which venue it will be posted in, but it will be posted in print as well as online that it's upcoming.

I think it will be helpful if we...

take the additional step of making sure that we mail to the residents that are outside of these particular parcel owners so that they are aware of this public hearing and have the opportunity to come down.

Since it is an unincorporated area, they might not necessarily know all of the processes, and we want to make sure that their voices are heard.
