NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeti ng Date: 11/13/06 Consent Item #: 2 Estimated Time: Page Number: Department: County Manager Presenter: Pat Melvin, Assistant County Manager Contact: Pat Melvin, Assistant County Manager SUBJECT: Increase the Number of Electronic Monitored Pretrial Release Detainees from 80 to 90 BRIEF SUMMARY: The electronic monitoring contract established in 2002, has been a valuable tool available to the County to reduce the jail population. In February 2006 the Board of Commissioners approved the expansion of the number of electronic monitoring bracelets from 70 to 90. In order to reduce costs and in light of 80 being the average number of detainees per month at the end of FY 05/06, Reliant Monitoring proposed a contract for FY 06/07 with a base number of 80, but expandable to 90, when necessary, with costs to be adjusted at that time. We have determined that we need to expand the contract to 90. To do so requires adoption of a resolution to modify the contractual agreement and a budget amendment to cover the cost of expanding the contract. For 80 slots, the unit cost per slot is $11.12, By increasing the daily monitored amount to 90, the unit price is reduced to $10.99. Through this increase, the County realizes: III a per unit cost savings of $0.13 or 1.2% in the electronic monitoring contract III adding 10 additional detainees in the pretrial release program, frees 10 beds in the detention facility The total additional funds needed to fund the existing contract at the 90 slots per day level is $24,212.00. Budget amendment 07-084 is attached for approval. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt attached resolution authorizing: 1. an increase in the number of monitored detainees from 80 to 90; 2. contract 07-0036 to be modified through normal change order process; 3. approval of budget amendment # 07-084 FUNDING SOURCE: Will above action result in: No Change In Position(s) Number of Positions: Explanation: ATTACHMENTS: ~ resolution for pre-trial release to add ten slots. doc ~ ~ iii.:':::': ....... ... .

NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeti ng Date: 11/13/06 Consent Item #: 7 Estimated Time: Page Number: Department: Museum Presenter: Ruth Haas Contact: Ruth Haas SUBJECT: Approval of Amended Cape Fear Museum Collection Policy BRIEF SUMMARY: With the assistance of the Museum Advisory Board Collections Committee, a comprehensive review of the Museum's Collection Policy has been conducted over the last six months. Many of the changes are a matter of correcting language to identify "Museum Advisory Board" where previously "Board of Trustees" was the title. Numbers have been altered to result in a sequential document. Highlighted words and phrases indicate new language. If the subject was previously addressed, old language is struck. New procedures that are more accommodating to potential donors are acknowledged in the new document. One area of substantive change is found in the newly numbered VI.C.2.(4) to provide oversight of expenditures from restricted accounts for artifact acquisition. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt the Cape Fear Museum Collection Policy as amended.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeti ng Date: 11/13/06 Consent Item #: 8 Estimated Time: Page Number: Department: Museum Presenter: Ruth Haas Contact: Ruth Haas SUBJECT: Approval to Submit an Institute of Museum and library Services 2007 Museums for America Grant Application BRIEF SUMMARY: Cape Fear Museum proposes to submit a grant application for the 2007 Museums for America program sponsored by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for $150,000 which would be matched by an equal value of in-kind staff salaries and the normal amount of money budgeted for implementation of new long-term exhibits. This $300,000 is part of the larger project which continues replacement of the early years of the long-term Waves & Currents exhibits. This is the second phase of the Exhibit Design Master Plan and is made more critical because of mold/mitigation damages to this section of the 1992 exhibits during the fall of 2005, The focus of the grant project will be the installation of a long leaf pine forest environment which will serve as the core for telling the unique Lower Cape Fear story from pre-history and the indigenous population through the Revolutionary War. Recent research allows us to present the region's colonial history with reference to the pervasive impact of an economy and social system defined by the pine forest and water transportation routes. This is an exciting opportunity to create a significant experience that will continue to keep New Hanover County's history and science museum as a premier attraction in southeastern North Carolina. If awarded, the grant money would not be available until FY2008. The request will define a two-year timeline with the main installation complete by the end of FY201 O. A concept drawing of the gallery is attached. Also attached is the preliminary budget and timeline for the project. Preliminary estimates for creating the forest environment installation justify that we can accomplish the vision with the proposed budget. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Approve submission of a 2007 Museums for America Grant application to the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

This represents the last phase of development of the campus, and was included in the list of Parks Bond projects. Boney Architects (now LS3P/Boney) was contracted by New Hanover County to develop a Master Plan for the campus.

Reinstatement of the necessary contract with LS3P/Boney for the final design, engineering and project management, and the contract with Hanover Design Services for topographic, as-built and other mapping services are requested. This will allow Phase IV work to proceed. The contract with LS3P/Boney will also include the preparation and filing of an application for a PARTF matching grant for $500,000. Permission is requested to enter into new contracts for this work, and to exempt these contracts from the bid process, since they are actually continuation and completion of previously contracted work.

Second St., 2nd Floor Wilmington, NC 28401 Dear Ms. Smith; Based upon an examination of your records conducted by our conservation services representative, Mr. Ken Barrows ofRL. Ballard and Associates, we are pleased to offer our updated proposal for the restoration of your records, including the four, Block Books which were not on the original proposal of31 October 2006. We have tried to include all pertinent information; however, if you should have any questions which we have left unanswered, please do not hesitate to call upon RL. Ballard or us for further explanation. Because of their poor condition, we are recommending all of the deed and other materials examined be encapsulation. The finished volumes will be placed into Enduro Heritage Recorder binders, which are the best quality permanent record binders available. We would call your particular attention to the unit pricing which we have offered you on this project; on a three year maximum commitment, this will save your county $ 17,000.00. With regard to transportation of records, RL. Ballard will make all of the necessary arrangements for packing and shipping of your records to and from our laboratory. Should the need arise for information from the records while they are in our possession, requests are usually able to be processed by phone, mail, or fax the same day. We appreciate your interest in our services, and hope that we may have the opportunity to serve your conservation needs with regard to the preservation of your valuable and irreplaceable records. / ]'Il~W HANOVER COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA - CONDITION REPORT A.L~D PROPOSAL FOR TREATMENT DESCRIPTIONIINITIAL CONDITION Approximately twenty eight deed and other volumes were examined. All were found to be severely deteriorated from acid hydrolysis, and all exhibited discoloration, embrittlement, and fragmentation. Record of Deeds AB and four of the Block Books have been laminated by the Barrows process. Based upon our past experience with North Carolina records, these five volumes were most likely processed by the State Archives, in which case the paper was deacidified prior to lamination, and there is no compelling reason to reverse the lamination. Laboratory analysis will be required to confirm or deny this assumption; however, at the present time, we have not included the cost of delamination in your estimates. All of these documents are recommended for archival encapsulation and loose leaf binding. TREATMENT 1. Transportation of documents to laboratory. 2. Inspection, logging, and control numbering (as required) of all documents. 3. Disbinding and surface cleaning of documents with gum rubber, vinyl granules, and other archival materials. 4. Removal of all pressure sensitive tape and adhesive residue wherever possible without further degradation to the document or text. 5. Spray deacidification of documents with Bookkeepers@ commercially prepared deacidification solution. 6. Mending and reinforcement of documents with archival and reversible methods and acid free materials such as Japanese Kozo paper and methyl cellulose, Filmoplast R, Crompton's tissue, or LC tissue. 7. Archival encapsulation of all documents with Skyrol SKC SH72S @ or equivalent PET polyester film of 3 mil thickness. 8. Loose leaf binding of all materials into Enduro Heritage Recorder binders. 9. Quality assurance inspection of completed documents. 10. Return transportation of documents to client. NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA - PRICE STABILIZATION AND UNIT PRICING. We would like to suggest that if New Ha...'1over County would make a firm commitment to a consecutive one to three year program with our company to accomplish this entire project, we would, in turn, be willing to: A. hold prices firm over the same period :1: 5% per annum. B. further REDUCE COSTS by offering the following UNIT PRICING for the above listed records provided the entire project is agreed to in the suggested time frame: 1. RESTORATION/ENCAPSULATION/LOOSE LEAF BINDING SPLIT/2 (18 VOLS) @$ 1,400.00 This would reduce the total project cost from $ 52,384.00 to $ 35,332.00, a reduction in cost of $ 17,052.00. In any event, the above restoration cost estimates will be held firm for one year from the date of this proposal. 4 August 2006 ;p seph J.

Jpdate on Avceptanc( of Polyester Film Products for Use in Encapsulation of Paper Artifacts (Preservation... Page 1 of 1 , SEARI.~I Preservation Pages ! Home>> Research and Testing>> Update on Acceptence of Polyester UPDATE ON ACCEPTANCE OF POLYESTER FILM PRODUCTS FOR USE IN I ENCAPSULATION OF PAPER ARTIFACTS Revised October 22, 2004) Over the past several months, we have tested several biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester films and found them to be satisfactory for use in encapsulation of paper artifacts. The acceptable films are: ~ Melinex@ film types 455, 456, 515, 516, KL and KM made by DuPont Teijin Films, Hopewell, VA 23860. ~ Hostaphan@ 43SM film, made by Mitsubishi Polyester Film, LLC, of Greer, SC 29652. ~ KC Inc.'s films SH71S@, SKC SH72S@ and SKC SH18S@. These films are available from Interfilm Holdings Inc., 223 Pine Road, Easley, SC 29642. > Tairlin CH28@ film, manufactured by Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, Taipei, Taiwan, and available from Granwell Products, Inc., 185 Fairfield Avenue, West Caldwell, NJ 07039. I To the best of our knowledge, all of the tested films, with the exception of Melinex type KL and type KM I films, are coated for slip on one or both sides for ease of handling. The two uncoated films are available in \ very small thicknesses, 92 gauge for Melinex@ type KL and 48-200 gauge for type KM, which conservators may find limiting for many applications (100 gauge equals approximately 1 mil or one I thousandth of an inch). While we would generally prefer uncoated stock to eliminate any chance of an I unforeseen interaction with the artifacts being encapsulated, we do realize that most processors find slip I 1 coating to be essential for ease of handling. Moreover, most such coatings are highly stable. ! j i While we have found the films mentioned above to be generally acceptable for use in paper conservation, I I the ultimate test for acceptability of any polyester film must be the ease and consistency with which these I films can be sealed or joined with the equipment that is available to the individual user. I I ! We are pleased to share information about product testing with the preservation community, with the understanding that information concerning favorable test results in no way implies product endorsement. Vendors are strictly prohibited by law from implying or claiming that the Library of Congress I endorses any specific product, service, or material. An essential cautionary note: Research in our laboratories has clearly shown that, over the long-term, encapsulation of papers without an alkaline reserve is likely to hasten their degradation. The real and immediate gain in protecting fragile paper from physical handling needs to be weighed against the equally real risk of faster aging. However, clear and practical solutions are available to conservators to avoid this balancing act. With the many options available for deacidification today, most papers can be deacidified before encapsulation. Where this option is not available or desirable for whatever reason, a sheet of alkaline paper inserted within the polyester envelope will also overcome the effects of trapped acids formed in the aging of paper, and actually help extend the life of the encapsulated artifact.

CASE: Z-849, 10/06; PETITIONER: Worsley Investment & Development REQUEST: From 1-1 Light Industrial to R-I0 Residential District ACREAGE: Approximately 12 Acres LOCATION: 5939 Judges Road, behind 6009 Market Street LAND CLASS: Urban At its October 2, 2006 meeting, the Planning Board voted 4-0 to recommend approval of this request. No one spoke in opposition to the rezoning. STAFF SUMMARY The subject property is located on Judges Road near Market Street. Access is from an adjacent residential lot on Judges Road which connects to the interior parcel as part of the proposal. Judges Road was not rated for level of service since it is classified as a local road. The site does not directly access Market Street, which is a principal arterial roadway less than a block from the site. Market Street level of service is F, meaning traffic exceeds capacity. Traffic counts are not available for Judges Road. Market Street average daily traffic increased over 27% between 2001 and 2005. The subject property consists of two lots. The smaller parcel on Judges Road is currently developed with one single family home and the larger interior parcel is vacant. Properties surrounding the site are currently developed. Adjacent parcels to the south are zoned 1-1 and developed as Judges Road Business Park. West of the subject property is zoned R-lO (Wildflower, Crestwood and Weatherwood subdivisions) and developed with single family residential use. North of the subject property, zoning is 1-1 Industrial and is developed with automotive sales and repair uses. The City's jurisdiction begins directly adjacent to this site on the east side along Market Street. The property is located within the Smith Creek watershed drainage area but is not within the regulatory floodplain. The site is in a primary recharge area for the principal aquifers. Public water and sewer are available at the site. There are no known locally protected conservation, historic or archaeological resources on the site. Land Use Plan Considerations: The 2006 Update of the Joint CAMA Plan describes the urban classification as areas providing for continued intensive development and redevelopment of existing urban areas. These areas are already developed at a density approaching 1,500 dwelling units per square mile. Urban services are already in place or scheduled within the immediate future. Policies in the land use plan encourage designation of sufficient land area and suitable locations for the various land uses and encourage preservation of the character of existing neighborhoods and quality of life with the primary strategy to integrate development and growth with input from ->--..-.... residents, and also to develop design standards to replace use standards. Transition of lands from one use to another is not specifically addressed. This rezoning petition proposes a change to allow the County's highest residential density in an expansion of an exiting R-I 0 district (Wildflower Subdivision), thereby eliminating 12 acres of future industrial opportunity. Such a change would be an expansion of the residential density policy in the area and allow residential use on this acreage on.3 units per acre where none is currently allowed. High density residential would not presently be allowed because the property does not front on an identified collector or higher level street. For this parcel, the resultant maximum residential potential under current conditions would be about 39 single family units. If a collector street were platted and constructed to serve the site, a high density proposal could be considered. Maximum output on a high density project would be about 200 units. Other permitted uses in the R-IO district include agricultural uses, wholesale nurseries and greenhouses, towers and antenna, golf courses, parks and recreation areas, residential care, schools, churches, libraries, landscape landfill, mobile homes, outdoor bazaars and a variety of special uses. Traffic will likely feed primarily to Market Street but impacts may also be felt through the existing neighborhoods as travelers take alternative routes to Market Street via Harley Road, Gordon Road via Wood Sorrell Road in Weatherwood or N. College Road via indirect routes through Kings Grant or Crestwood subdivisions. Weekday average trip generation for single family detached units is estimated to generate 9.57 trips per day (ITRE manual). With the requested change of zoning, anticipated residential trip generation would be approximately 383 trips per day compared to a variety of potential industrial generators which could generate as much as 7 trips per 1,000 square feet of building area. Based on the adjacency to an existing R-l 0 district and the anticipated improvements to traffic flow from the Martin Luther King Parkway, Military Cutoff and the 1-140 bypass staff recommends approval of the rezoning. ACTION NEEDED: Adopt a statement in accordance with NCGS 153A-341 which requires that "prior to adopting or rejecting any zoning amendment, the governing board shall adopt a statement describing whether the action is consistent with an adopted comprehensive plan and explaining why the board considers the action taken to be reasonable and in the public interest." EXAMPLE: The County Commissioners find that this request for zoning map amendment from 1-1 Light Industrial to R-I0 Residential District is (or is not): 1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the Urban land classifications and the associated land use policies adopted in the 2006 land use plan; 2. Reasonable and in the public interest to allow transition of acreage from industrial zoning class to residential zoning class with base density of 3.3 units per acre in this location adjacent to existing R-l 0 Residential development and within close proximity to a major arterial roadway. ~~------~ .

CASE: Z-850, 10/06; PETITIONER: Withers & Ravenel for GSSC Properties/Carter/Gaskins REQUEST: From R-15 Residential District to 0&1 Office & Institutional District ACREAGE: Approximately 5.8 Acres LOCATION: 609 thru 625 Piner Road LAND CLASS: Transition and Conservation At its October 2, 2006 meeting, the Planning Board voted 4-0 to recommend approval of this requested zoning amendment. No one spoke in opposition to the rezoning. STAFF SUMMARY The subject property is located on Piner Road near S. College Road at Monkey Junction. Access is from Piner Road which is identified as a major collector on the thoroughfare plan. Level of service has been rated F on Piner Road and on nearby College Road, meaning traffic volume exceeds capacity. The subject property is currently developed with residential uses in addition to vacant, wooded acreage at the rear along Clayton Horn Dairy Road. To the east of the subject property is the Federal Point Pentecostal Church and two additional residential parcels. Thereafter, zoning changes to 0&1. Immediately west of the site is currently vacant but zoned 0&1. Behind the site is the largely vacant 18 acre property brought before the Planning Board last month for rezoning from R-15 to R-lO. The subject property is located within the Motts Creek watershed drainage area and includes a small area at the front ofthe property within the 1 % annual chance floodplain. The site is in a primary recharge area for the principal aquifers. Public water and sewer are available at the site. With the exception of the small floodplain, there are no locally protected conservation, historic or archaeological resources on the site. Land Use Plan Considerations: The 2006 Update of the Joint CAMA Plan classifies this site as predominantly Transition with a small area of Conservation. The CAMA Plan defines the Transition classification as areas providing for future intensive urban development on lands that have or will have urban services. The Plan applies a density limit of 2.5 units per acre on areas in the Conservation class. Policies in the land use plan encourage designation of sufficient land area and suitable locations for the various land uses and encourage preservation of the character of existing neighborhoods and quality of life with the primary strategy to integrate development and growth with input from residents, and also to develop design standards to replace use standards. Transition of lands from one use to another is not specifically addressed. This rezoning petition proposes a change from moderate density residential use to office and institutional designation. The change would expand an existing 0&1 district on the west, partially filling in the gap between existing 0&1 districts along Piner Road near the intersection. Permitted uses in the 0&1 district include agricultural uses, wholesale nurseries and greenhouses, utility facilities, towers and antenna, neighborhood drug store, banks, funeral homes, parks, barber & beauty shops, health and personal care facilities, daycare, schools, churches, business and professional offices, residential dwellings, mobile homes, and a variety of special uses, including high density residential development. Primary access to this property will be from Piner Road which functions at level of service F. Average daily traffic volume increased by 12% in this location between 2001 and 2005. The extent of traffic impacts will depend upon the uses ultimately chosen for the site. Land use decisions in this location must consider impacts to the roadways which already function at or above capacity. In this case a specific use is not identified so it is impossible to say with certainty that a change in zoning to 0&1 will worsen the burden on the roadway. Recent decisions to allow increases in residential intensity in this area support the concept that Monkey Junction will continue to grow as a center for urban development. Rezoning to 0&1 will reinforce this pattern of growth. Because of these reasons, staff recommends approval of the rezoning. ACTION NEEDED: Adopt a statement in accordance with NCGS 153A-341 which requires that "prior to adopting or rejecting any zoning amendment, the governing board shall adopt a statement describing whether the action is consistent with an adopted comprehensive plan and explaining why the board considers the action taken to be reasonable and in the public interest. " EXAMPLE: The County Commissioners find that this request for zoning map amendment from R-15 Residential to 0&1 Office and Institutional District is (or is not): 1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the Transition and Conservation land classifications and the associated land use policies adopted in the 2006 land use plan; 2. Reasonable and in the public interest to decrease acreage in a residential zoning district by transitioning to acreage for office and institutional use in this location near the intersection of Piner Road and S. College Road.

The complete list of conditions agreed to by the applicant were: 1. Developer to construct a coated chain link fence and a split rail fence around the retention pond. 2. Developer to plant a 5-foot vegetative buffer across the southeastern property line to conceal the retention pond. 3. Developer will limit construction to Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. STAFF SUMMARY The subject property is located off Carolina Beach Road adjacent to the Willoughby Park development, approximately half a mile northwest of Monkey Junction. Access is from local streets, Appeals Road off Willoughby Park Road, onto Carolina Beach Road, an identified arterial on the thoroughfare plan. Level of service has been rated E on Carolina Beach Road, meaning traffic volume is at capacity. No service ratings aTe available for the local streets. The subject property is currently undeveloped, wooded acreage at the rear of residential properties along Carolina Beach Road. To the north of the subject property is a high density R-15 residential project (The Lakes at Johnson Farms). West of the site are older R-15 residential parcels separating this site from B-2 commercial zoning. To the east is the Willoughby Park neighborhood, which is a satellite annexation within the City's jurisdiction. Further east is the Walmart and Lowe's Home Improvement Conditional B-2 shopping area. South ofthe project is a mix ofR-15 and CD (B-2) with R-lO residential further south. The subject property is located within the Motts Creek watershed drainage area. It is not within a special flood hazard area. The site is in a primary recharge area for the principal aquifers. Public water and sewer are available at the site. There are no known locally protected conservation, historic or archaeological resources on the site. As a condition for rezoning, the applicant proposes that the use will be restricted to a high density residential project which will meet all the requirements of the zoning ordinance. A companion special use permit will bind the proposed use and restrictions to this property. Land Use Plan Considerations: The 2006 Update of the Joint CAMA Plan describes the urban classification as areas providing for "continued intensive development and redevelopment of existing urban areas. These areas are already developed at a density approaching 1,500 dwelling units per square mile. Urban services are already in place or scheduled within the immediate future." Policies in the land use plan encourage designation of sufficient land area and suitable locations for the various land uses and encourage preservation of the character of existing neighborhoods and quality of life with the primary strategy to integrate development and growth with input from residents, and also to develop design standards to replace use standards. Transition of lands from one use to another is not specifically addressed. This rezoning petition proposes a change from moderate density R-15 residential use to the County's highest density R-l 0 residential designation. The change would create a new R-l 0 district of 5.8 acres adjacent to a multi-family zoning designation within the City's jurisdiction. The resulting increase would be 5 units for performance residential development and 39 units for high density development. Between 2001 and 2005, average daily traffic volume increased by 30% on Carolina Beach Road in this vicinity. Traffic from the site will utilize Appeals Road to access Willoughby Park Road. All traffic will feed into Carolina Beach Road from Willoughby Park Road. Appeals Road intersects with Willoughby Park Road and stubs out at the eastern property boundary of this site. No other points of interconnectivity have been provided within the surrounding area. The Urban land classification promotes more intense urban development. Increases in intensity have been considered and approved in proximity to Monkey Junction to support the area becoming an urban node. The increase in intensity is consistent with the adjacent multi-family and nearby high density projects. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning. ACTION #1 NEEDED: Adopt a statement in accordance with NCGS 153A-341 which requires that "prior to adopting or rejecting any zoning amendment, the governing board shall adopt a statement describing whether the action is consistent with an adopted comprehensive plan and explaining why the board considers the action taken to be reasonable and in the public interest." EXAMPLE: The County Commissioners find that this request for zoning map amendment from R -15 Residential to CD(R-IO) Residential District is (or is not): 1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the urban land classification and the associated land use policies adopted in the 2006 land use plan; 2. Reasonable and in the public interest to increase high density residential density option from 10.2 units per acre to 17 units per acre in this location because the companion special use high density project cannot achieve the maximum density on this parcel within the context of all the development standards imposed by the ordinance. PRELIMINARY STAFF FINDINGS FOR THE COMPANION SPECIAL USE PERMIT: 1. The Board must find that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. A.

This request is made concurrent with conditional rezoning to CD(R-IO) Residential. B. The proposed use is limited to attached single family residential. C. Density for this project is limited by the standards of Section 69.4(5)(B) and results in 43 allowable units on the 5.8 acre site. D. Petitioner proposes off-street parking that exceeds the requirements of Article VIII of the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance by providing 90 spaces rather than 86 as required. E. Traffic circulation must meet the standards and requirements for private streets outlined in the subdivision ordinance, and the street system must provide adequate access for emergency service vehicles. F. A traffic impact analysis was not required by NCDOT for this project. G. Buffer of 52 feet will be provided between the existing conventional R-15 residential use and this property in accordance with Section 67-4(3) of the zoning ordinance. H. A tree survey has been performed and trees will be protected and mitigated as required in Section 67 of the zoning ordinance. 3. The Board must find that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property or that the use is a public necessity. A. No evidence has been submitted that this project will decrease property values of residents who live nearby. B. Stormwater management must perform in compliance with the requirements of the County ordinance. 4. The Board must find that the location and character ofthe use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the plan of development for New Hanover County. A. The 2006 Land Use Plan identifies this area as Urban, which allows for higher densities and intensities where public water or sewer is available. B. Policies in the plan support preservation of residential character and quality of life in existing neighborhoods. C. Willoughby Park is a community of attached dwelling units and The Lakes at Johnson Farms is a single family high density community. Staff suggested conditions: 1.

Weaver Contact: David F. Weaver SUBJECT: Request Funding Up to $781,250 for Carolina Beach Inlet Dredging and Carolina Beach Nourishment BRIEF SUMMARY: The segment of the Atlantic Intracoastal Water Way (AI\MN) crossed by Carolina Beach Inlet is in need of dredging. In the past, the Corps of Engineers has been responsible for this work but Federal budget concerns have, as outlined in the attached letter, eliminated this project from the Corps' list of work. The County has been requested to contribute $781,250 to be a 50:50 partner with the State for a total cost of almost $1.57 million for the dredging of the 156,000 tons of sand in the AIVVW and for the placement of the sand on Carolina Beach. Because the sand can be used for beach nourishment, the project is beneficial and is eligible for funding through the Room Occupancy Tax. The Ports, Waterway, and Beach Commission has recommended the County participate in the project up to a cost/share of $781 ,250. The Corps will manage the project. Because the project is on a tight time schedule for the dredging to occur this winter, the recommendation is for the County to be willing to contribute up to $781,250 through adoption of the attached resolution, dependent upon the final cost, and to authorize the County Manager to take appropriate action. This approach is similar to that taken for funding the recent Wrightsville Beach nourishment project, as noted in the attached minutes of January 23, 2006. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: As recommended by the Ports, Waterway, and Beach Commission, staff recommends that the County Commissioners adopt the resolution provided by the State for contribution up to $781,250 for up to 50% of the cost of the project.

RESOLUTION OF THE NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PAYMENT TO STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA FOR MAINTENANCE DREDGING OF THE CAROLINA BEACH INLET CROSSING OF THE ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL W A TERW A Y AND SNOWS CUT CHANNELS WHEREAS, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has historically maintained the Carolina Beach Inlet crossing channel ofthe Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, and Snows Cut channel at 12 feet mean low water to allow safe commercial and recreational navigation; and WHEREAS, the continued maintenance dredging of the Carolina Beach Inlet crossing channel and Snows Cut channel is essential to the well-being of the local commercial fishing industry, recreational fishing industry, tourism industry, general economic welfare and the unique quality of life for Carolina Beach and other New Hanover County residents; and WHEREAS, while both the Carolina Beach Inlet crossing and Snows Cut navigation channels require maintenance dredging in FY 2006-2007, the Federal budget for FY 2006-2007 has not been passed and is not likely to contain sufficient funding for the maintenance dredging of these two important waterways; and WHEREAS, the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources recognizes the immediate need and importance to perform maintenance dredging of the Carolina Beach Inlet crossing channel and Snows Cut channel during Fiscal Year 2006-2007, and therefore is willing to partner with New Hanover County and pay for 50 percent of the cost through a contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and WHEREAS, New Hanover County also recognizes the immediate need and importance to maintain the Carolina Beach Inlet crossing channel and Snows Cut channel this coming winter, and has agreed to partner with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the Corps of Engineers dredging projects scheduled during the period January to March 2007; and WHEREAS, the North Carolina Federal Water Resources Development Law of 1969, G.S. 143.215.38 -.43 allows local government entities to cooperate with the State of North Carolina on Federal projects such as the Carolina Beach Inlet crossing channel and Snows Cut channel dredging projects; and WHEREAS, the sand will be placed on Carolina Beach for nourishment of the beach. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners commits to pay the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources $781,250, or 50% of the cost, whichever is the lesser amount, required for the maintenance dredging of the Carolina Beach Inlet crossing and Snows Cut navigation channels. New Hanover County understands that this payment will be due immediately after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers opens bids and determines the estimated project cost for dredging these two channels. Adopted this, the 13th of November 2006. Robert G. Greer, Chairman Attest: Sheila L. Schult, Clerk to the Board c WILMINGTON-NEW HANOVER PORT, WATERWAY & BEACH COMMISSION October 17, 2006 Mr. John Morris, Director Division of Water Resources NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources 1611 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1611 Re: Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) Maintenance at Carolina Beach Inlet Crossing Dear Mr. Morris: Since the USACOE Wilmington District does not have adequate funding to perform maintenance dredging at the Carolina Beach Inlet crossing, we understand that the State of North Carolina is willing to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the USACOE to fund this important work. We also understand that the State of North Carolina's willingness to enter this MOA is contingent upon 50% local cost sharing with New Hanover County. This local share is estimated to be $781,250.00. The Wilmington-New Hanover County Port, Waterway and BeachcCommission will meet on this issue October 18th and forward our recommendation to the New Hanover County Commissioners for formal approval at their next regularly scheduled meeting. Their next meeting is scheduled for November 13th. We appreciate your support of our coastal resources and your innovative approach to solving funding problems for these critical projects. Thank you for your continued assistance and support. Sincerely, ~ ~, ,PG Chairman Wilmington-New Hanover County Port, Waterway and Beach Commission NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BOOK 30 REGULAR MEETING, JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 508 PRESENTATION BY RICK CATLIN, CHAIRMAN OF THE PORT, WATERWAY & BEACH COMMISSION Rick Catlin, Chairman of the Port, Waterway & Beach Commission (PWBC), reported that at the North Carolina Beach, Inlet and Waterway Association meeting on January 13,2006 the Association adopted The North Carolina Coastal Crisis Rules of Engagement. The Port, Waterway & Beach Commission has also unanimously adopted the Rules of Engagement. These rules have been formulated as a guide to coastal communities and as a notice to the Federal and State governments in response to the Federal government's refusal both to honor existing agreements for beach nourishment and waterway!inlet maintenance and to ignore the value of these projects in general. The Rules of Engagement state: . At the State and Local level we will attempt to remedy our emergency beach, inlet, or waterway problems to prevent loss of life, property, or economic well being. These actions in no way signal our acceptance of any policy of Federal abandonment. . We will continue to seek the maximum interim participation possible from our Federal partners. . We will pursue the completion of our recently initiated economic benefit studies to produce fair and justifiable cost sharing recommendations for Federal, State and Local participation. . We will expect and demand that our Federal partners negotiate sustainable and predictable cost sharing agreements for our coastal maintenance projects, based on sound economic findings. . Following the reestablishment of fair and equitable funding responsibilities, we will pursue long term funding sources for our State and Local cost share. The Port, Waterway & Beach Commission recommends that the Board of Commissioners, in response to the need for Wrightsville Beach to receive beach nourishment this winter, approve an expenditure of up to $1.2 million from the Room Occupancy Tax Fund as the local share of a Federal funding proposal to accomplish the re- nourishment. This project has been beset by excessive dredging bids and apparent unavailability of the normal Federal funding process for re-nourishment. The project may be less after negotiations are completed and the Corps searches for additional funds. The Port, Waterway & Beach Commission recommends that the Board of Commissioners consider funding a proposal with Marlow and Company to represent the County with regard to Federal funding and authorization of beach nourishment projects. The cost to the Room Occupancy Tax Fund would be approximately $3250 per month plus up to $350 per month for itemized expenses. After discussion, the Board directed Staff to bring a proposal with Marlow and Company at the Board's February meeting with further information Vice-Chairman Caster requested direction from the Board Motion: Commissioner Kopp MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to approve up to $1.2 million expenditure from the Occupancy Tax Fund for Wrightsville Beach for beach nourishment and authorize the County Manager to sign the agreement. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED 4 TO O. This page intentionally left blank. NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeti ng Date: 11/13/06 Regular Item #: 6 Estimated Time: Page Number: Department: Engineering Presenter: Greg Thompson Contact: Greg Thompson SUBJECT: Fee Adjustment - Sedimentation and Erosion Control Program BRIEF SUMMARY: To meet the demands of development and to protect the environmental quality of New Hanover County, the Engineering Department is proposing the establishment of the attached full-cost fee structure for the Sedimentation and Erosion Control services and permitting process. The current fee schedule is also attached. The proposed fee structure is comparable to other city and county fees as illustrated on the attached form. The fees will cover the costs currently associated with the program and proposed staff additions. The report, entitled Evaluation of Organizational Structure and Operational Policies and Procedures by Municipal and Financial Services Group (MFSG), regarding New Hanover County's Engineering Department recommended regular review of user fees to ensure the County's ability to cover the cost of sedimentation and erosion control programs, infrastructure requirements, and mission-critical staff additions. Future staff additions recommended in the MFSG Report includes the addition of erosion control field inspectors. Also, the NCDENR Land Quality Section has audited the County's erosion control program and concluded that additional staff, both field inspectors and reviewers, is imperative to meet the requirements of the State delegated program. Therefore, the Engineering Department is proposing the addition of a permanent position for an erosion control inspector to be hired as soon as possible. The position can be funded in the current budget for the remainder of the fiscal year. The formal request will be brought to the Board in December. The addition of other personnel as recommended by NCDENR and in the MFSG Report will be presented for approval in the 2007-2008 budget year to the County Commissioners. The proposed fee structure has been reviewed and approval recommended by the Home Builders Association. The new fee structure will generate approximately $300,000 in fee revenue per year.

The Cape Fear River Watch Board's Advocacy Committee, which met over the weekend, encouraged me to seek application for one of the County openings on the board - if, indeed, there are openings and it is appropriate for one to seek appointment to the new Advisory Board. If not, please advise. This Tuesday, January 11, I will drop off a letter of interest and resume, to Mr. Hayes office which summarize my experience on four boards of directors (in Boston), directorship of a statewide advocacy organization, and some twenty five years experience in management positions in my nursing career. I think those skills would be a positive factor for an advisory board member who would need to be able to function in a cooperative and competent manner when working with different factors and interests that effect creek watershed issues. My husband and I share a life long interest in the environment, especially the coastal environment, as we own an NC Outer Banks home in Emerald Isle, and now live on Futch Creek here in Wilmington. We are long time Sierra Club members, as well as were active members of the Concord River Association when we lived in Wayland, MA for the last 35 years. Thank you for letting me know if there is an opening for which I may apply as an individual and/or Cape Fear River Watch Board Member. Having been an appointed official in statewide government for five years I am very aware that there are usually certain forms one must fill out, rather than simply letters of interest one may write - therefqre, please do forward this note to the appropriate persons who could advise me of appropriate next steps. We do have a FAX if time is of the essence. 1/1 0/2005 Page 2 of2 I certainly hope there is a possibility of serving on the tidal creek advisory board, reformed in its new structure. At the least I would like to regularly attend its public meetings ...as I had hoped to do last week! Thanks for letting me know best direction.

COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT 1 VACANCY ELIGIBLE FOR APPLICATIONS REAPPOINTMENT Robert F. Cameron, Jr. Michael S. Jones X Olen "Frank" Roberts, Jr. Irving L. Smith, Jr. Attachments: Committee Information Sheets Applications NEW HANOVER COUNTY ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT Number of Members: 5 plus three alternates Ex-Officio: Planning Director Term of Office: three years Regular Meetings: Fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the Assembly Room, County Administration Building, 320 Chestnut Street. Compensation: $20.00 per member per meeting plus auto mileage Staiute or cause creating Board: N.C. General Statutes 153-A-345, 266.17. The Commissioners increased to 3 alternates 11/21/94 (officially 4/1/96). The Zoning Ordinance requires members to be appointed from different areas within the County's zoning jurisdiction. Brief on Functions: The Board of Adjustment is a recognition of human frailty. If it were possible for the legislative body to write a perfect zoning ordinance which would meet the needs of the community while at the same time avoiding hardship in individual cases, there would be no need for this board. Because that has been found near impossible, the Board of Adjustment has been introduced as an integral part of almost every smoothly operating zoning enforcement mechanism, serving as a "pop-off valve" to relieve pressures resulting from hardship cases. In New Hanover County, the duties of the Board fall into two general categories: Interpretation and Granting Variances. IntelJlretation: The function of the Board of Adjustment which is most closely similar to that of the courts is interpretation of the Ordinance. This function involves (a) interpreting the meaning of parts of the Ordinance which are unclear, (b) applying the Ordinance to particular fact situations, and, if necessary, (c) correcting any mistakes or abuses of discretion which the Building Inspector may have made in administering the Ordinance. In exercising this power, the basic principle for the Board to keep in mind is that it must not vary the Ordinance. Its function here is to interpret and apply what the governing body has written, not to vary that legislative pronouncement to fit its own ideas. Its decisions must be in accord with what the Board believes to be the actual meaning and intent of the Ordinance. Granting of V ariances: General Statute 153A-345( d) provides that, "when practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships would result from carrying out the strict letter of a zoning ordinance, the Board of Adjustment may, in passing upon appeals, vary or modify any regulation or provision of the Ordinance relating to the use ofland, so that the spirit of the Ordinance is observed, public safety and welfare secured, and substantial justice done." Basically, a variance is a permit, which the Board may grant in certain situations, enabling a property owner to make use of his property in some way which is in conflict with the literal provisions of the Ordinance. Sometimes a lot so small or so peculiarly shaped that the owner would have great NEW HANOVER COUNTY ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT (CONTINUED) difficulty in complying with the yard requirements and yet erecting a suitable building. Sometimes contours of the terrain are such as to create hardships in complying with these requirements. Sometimes the lot is located in a cluster of nonconforming uses which will prevent the owner from securing any reasonable return from his land ifhe complies with the Ordinance (as where a lot in a residential district is surrounded by nonconforming business structures). When the Board grants exemptions from harsh provisions, it is "granting a variance." Finally, it should be noted that there is a good bit of "law" connected with the duties and responsibilities of the Zoning Board of Adjustment. This is understandable, however, when one considers the importance of its decisions which expand or limit property values. These are issues which must not be dealt with casually or arbitrarily. The above has been largely excerpted from the Zoning Board of Adjustment in North Carolina by Michael B. Brough and Philip P. Green, Jr. TERM OF OFFICE CURRENT MEMBERS APPOINTMENT EXPIRATION Brian C.
