One nearby property owner was still concerned with the visual impact as well as the impacts on the adjacent conservation area owned by the County. The applicant agreed to use only flush mounted antennas on the tower that would be light gray in color. This was added as a condition of the recommendation for approval with a vote of 6-1. At the Planning Board meeting on October 6, 2005, one adjoining neigbbor expressed concern with the height of the tower and the visual impacts on nearby properties. Following additional discussion from the applicant about the importance of this location for their service area, Verizon representatives agreed to conduct a balloon test on October 19 to allow Board members and nearby residents to view the projected height at the proposed location. The Planning Board unanimously agreed to continue the item until their next meeting. Preliminary Staff Findings I.

We are responsible for the subject search area. In that regard, our personnel reconnoitered the coverage area for existing structures such as towers, water tanks, or tall buildings that would be viable for a telecommunications collocation and we found none. Verizon Wireless' radio frequency engineer visited the subject search area and confirmed the need for placement of a proposed tower due to lack of any viable collocation options.

Chase REAL ESTATE SERVICES MEMO To: Gary Pennington From: Bill Amann Date: October 20 f 2005 RE: Middle Sound search area The search area is within New Hanover County's zoning jurisdiction and is comprised of R-20 and R-1S districts. Field visits and assessment of maps and other information eliminated most residentially developed property (single family homes) or property thought to be slated for residential development (new sub-divisions). The prime prospect within the search area was a County water lift station site in the vicinity of 1403 Middle Sound Loop Road. We outlined a proposal with Greg Ferguson and the engineering department subsequently provided a site map identifying disturbance and wetland areas to be avoided at the site. We conducted a site visit and got as far as reviewing deed/title materials when we discovered a restrictive covenant from 1974 referenced in a 1999 deed that prohibited commercial use on the New Hanover County Water and Sewer District subject property. We confirmed with a County attorney that the site would not be available for shared use with a telecommunication facility as proposed. We had initial interest in the Peterson farm property and treated it as a back up, but there were reservations concerning an appropriate site location on the property. There were issues with the site being too close to the road, too close to equestrian operations, or too close to adjoining residences. The alternative site and the one ultimately selected was the site on the other parcel of Peterson property located off Dunbar Road. The site had the advantage of being a deep lot so that the monopole could be situated back from the road. There was also a significant amount of existing tree cover that would serve as a natural buffer. Our focus was to avoid properties within existing or proposed subdivisions and to instead locate a parcel with sufficient size, dimensions and/or location that would be appropriate for a cell site. I would note that there was a horse farm and stable (Little Paradise Farm) outside the search area that was given consideration early on, but the location was questionable from a performance standpoint and the property owner was not interested when contacted by our field agent. 1617 East Boulevard, Charlotte, NC 28203 Phone 704.333.3373 Fax 704.333.4410 E-mail jyeagley@chase-services.com 20 Mechanical specifications Length 1238 mm 48.75 in Width 154 mm 6.06 in 80 mm 4.5 kg 3.15 in Depth 4) Weight Wind Area Front 0.191 m' 2.0S ff Side 0.099 m' 1.07 ft' Rated WindVelocity (Safety factor 2.0) >322 kmlhr >200 mph 10.0 Ibs Wind load @ 100 rI1ph (161 kmlhr) Front 288 N Side 170 N 65 Ibs 38 Ibs Antennac:o~i8finll.of al\Jl1'llnum allay with brass feed- lines cowrtld by a UV$8f$ fibllrglass radome.

PLANNING BOARD ACTION In regular session on November 3, 2005, the Planning Board recommended approval to rezone approximately 36.98 acres from 1-1 Light Industrial to R-I0 Residential. The Board also recommended approval of the Special Use Permit request for a High Density 432 unit apartment complex with conditions. The vote by the Board was unanimous on both requests by the petitioner. Several residents from the Northchase neighborhood that live on the west side of the subdivision expressed concerns ranging from traffic to stormwater drainage impacts. ST AFF SUMMARY The petitioner is requesting a rezoning of approximately 36.98 acres of property from 1-1 Light Industrial to R-1 0 Residential. The rezoning of this property to 1-1 occurred in December, 1994 and has been vacant since then. Since the mid 90's, a number ofland use changes have taken place near the property. Adjacent and north of the site is the 1-140 Wilmington Bypass scheduled to open in the next few months. To the south is Northchase development that is zoned PD and contains a mixture of light industrial land uses along with several commercial/retail type uses. Located nearby and to the east of the site is the new Cape Fear Community College north campus. Growth in this area has been fueled by public water and sewer and the anticipated opening of the 1-140 Bypass. Given the fact that this property has been zoned I-I Light Industrial for the past 10 years with no land use activity to date, it appears reasonable for the petitioner to request a rezoning to R-I O. With the close proximity of the new Bypass and community college, existing residential neighborhoods and shopping located nearby, the demand for residential housing may be greater than the present zoning classification dictates. As stated, the 1999 Land Use Plan identifies this area near the ]-140 Bypass as Urban Transition which provides for intensive urban development. Public water and sewer is available nearby. Given consistencies in the Land Use Plan for growth and development in this area and available access located nearby, staff recommends approval. 28 SPECIAL USE PERMIT S-534, 11/05; High Density 432 unit multi-family residential development Request By: Biltmark Developers Location: 4403 North College Rd, south ofI-140 Planning Board Action At the November 3, 2005 Planning Board meeting several nearby residents spoke about the drainage problems in Northchase and were concerned with any increased run-off.

RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: The Planning Board recommends approval by a vote of 6-0. The Planning Board also recommended additional property owned by the Pilots Ridge HOA be rezoned.

PLANNING BOARD ACTION In regular session on November 3, 2005, the Planning Board recommended approval of the petitioners' request. The vote by the Board was 6-0. The Planning Board also recommended that additional property owned by the Pilots Ridge HOA be rezoned. No one present at the meeting spoke in opposition. STAFF SUMMARY The petitioners' request consists of two tracts ofland (total 1.84 acres) located in the southwestern corner of Pilots Ridge Road and Carolina Beach Road, The petitioners' request involves consolidating two different zoning districts (B-2 & 0&1) into the adjoining R-15 Residential District. The B-2 Highway Business District classification on the subject properties is a part of the original zoning (April, 1971) that extended south 2200 feet from the southern right of way of Golden Road parallel to Carolina Beach Road to a depth of300 feet. Subsequently, there have been some revisions to the original zoning in the area to accommodate the Food Lion Shopping Center and to add additional B-2 zoning on the east side of Carolina Beach Road. Some of the commercial frontages were also eliminated. In 1998, there was a petition to the existing B-2 District on the northern corner of the Pilots Ridge Road intersection which ultimately was rezoned to 0&1 Office and Institution. This 0&1 District is now owned by the New Hanover County Board of Education. The petitioners' request makes logical sense. As mentioned, both tracts of property have remained vacant as B-2 and 0&1 districts. However, in the 1998 petition for the opposite corner, staff recommended that the Board consider rezoning a portion of the subject property to 0&1. The 0&1 designation would allow professional office type uses as a transition into the Pilots Ridge neighborhood but would not preclude residential development. Recent litigation over the Restrictive Covenants on the property has confirmed the limitation for residential uses only. Staff continues to support residential use of the property and County policies, which discourage commercial uses from extending into residential neighborhoods. Staff also recommends that the adjacent property owned by the Pilots Ridge HOA also be rezoned to R-15 Residential. 36 Petition Summary Data Z-819,11/05 Owner: Red Wing Aerobatics, Inc. & Greenhouse Properties, LLC Existin2 Land Use: One Residential Home Ori2inal Zonin2: Area 4 (April 7, 1971) Land Classification: Limited Transition Potable Water Tvpe: Public (Located nearby) Sewer System Tvpe: Public (Located nearby) Recreation/Facilitv/ Area: Veterans Park Traffic Volume: No Traffic Data Located Nearby Fire District: Myrtle Grove VFD Watershed and Water Qualitv: Lords Creek, C (SW) AQuifer Rechar2e Area: Shallow Water Table Conservation/Historic/Archaeolo2ic Resources: No historic or archaeological resources Located on site Soils: Leon soil (Class III) & Rimini (Class I) Soils Septic Suitability: Class III = Severe Limitations, Class I Suitable Schools: Bellamy 37 j (1:J=1'-td!~t2ttA~_ I J lI'I ~ ~\-_ ='- :1;1p~= e- :sll\\~;-- IC-~l;; =e- ~ I; '--I!J~=~' _ I J " ~~ ~ C=- ~~~~~ rt::~= =L - ::: ~ ..--......,- -- , 'I =71 0 _ / c.::::lj~ ~ ~ /1-.[ _::: I" 1 ! ~f5.. ~\ <a~ 7 17ft>.::: ~L-" 1/ , ~~ ~\ ~ m ~=i~J :::::: ( ~ '" VI ~ .,s:-<" t--g ~ q' _ _ ~ i ,. ~ !

The following Findings will be changed as noted. Any additional conditions adopted by the Board of Commissioners will also be listed on the Order. 1. The County Commissioners FIND AS A FACT that all of the specific requirements set forth in Section 72-27 of the County Zoning Ordinance WILL be satisfied if the property is developed in accordance with the plans submitted to the County Commissioners. 2. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the first general requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely that the use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. In support of this conclusion, the Commissioners make the fo] lowing FINDINGS OF FACT: A. The subject property is located within the Myrt]e Grove VFD. B. The site has direct access to Carolina Beach Road and St. Andrews Dr. C. The proposed project will be served by County Sewer and City Water. 3. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the second general requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely that the use meets all required conditions and specifications. In support of this conclusion, the Commissioners make the following FINDINGS OF FACT: A. A site plan, which meets all of the requirements of the Ordinance, has been submitted and reviewed. B. The site plan shows 18 commercial buildings totaling approximately 290 square feet. C. A list of proposed uses is shown on the site plan. All proposed uses are permitted within the B- I Neighborhood Business District except movie theaters, hotels, and residential. D. Sufficient area to accommodate the required landscaping and buffering is shown on the site plan. 4. It is the County Commissioners' CONCLUSION that the proposed use DOES satisfy the third general requirement listed in the Ordinance; namely that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity. In support of this conclusion, the Commissioners make the following FINDINGS OF FACT: A. One parcel within the rezoning area has been zoned and used for light industrial purposes since ]985. B. A traffic Impact Analysis has been submitted and the recommended roadway improvements have been incorporated into the plans. C. The proposed neighborhood business plaza can be utilized by the existing neighborhoods on the southwest side of Carolina Beach Road and by the developing Johnson Farm neighborhoods. D.

Urban services are already in place or scheduled within the immediate future. Density may exceed 2.5 units per acre within the developed class, depending upon the specific zoning. Planning Board Action At the November 3,2005 Planning Board meeting one neighbor spoke about some existing traffic issues on an adjacent street. Board members were complimentary about the use of traffic circles as traffic calming devices in the design. The proposed connection to St Andrews Drive should also improve traffic flow for the area. Following additional discussion from the applicant and his consultants, the Planning Board unanimously recommended approval including the parcels in the appendage to the north. STAFF SUMMARY: The petitioner is requesting a revision and expansion for an existing Conditional Use B-1 Neighborhood Business District. The basis for the revision from CD (B-1) to CD (B-2) is the acquisition of adjacent property to the north and some minor changes to the approved the list of uses. In addition to the change of zoning district classification, the petitioner is asking to expand the Commercial portion of his project by approximately 11.4 Acres for a total of approximately 24 acres. The majority of the proposed uses are still within the neighborhood B-1 Classification except for a movie theater, hotels and residential. The additional acreage allows the flexibility to address the main street design with building fronts while hiding the parking from the traveling public. The property is located at an existing controlled intersection on the northeast side of Carolina Beach Road across from Silva Terra Drive south of St. Andrews Dr. It is approximately 1.2 miles from the developing commercial node at Monkey Junction. As part of the original approval the applicant is developing plans to improve the signalized intersection to accommodate expected traffic. The applicant has also finalized plans to complete the road connection to St. Andrews Drive. The conditional use site plan is presented and designed in the context of a larger development that would incorporate a variety of housing types. The road configurations within the project create a desirable connection between Carolina Beach Road and South College Road, which interconnects this project with the Johnson Farm Development. The project will also serve the existing communities in Silva Terra as well as several apartment complexes and multi-family developments along St Andrews Drive. The applicant has worked with NCDOT to develop suitable standards to incorporate traffic circles as calming devices to discourage high speed cut through traffic on Pine Hollow Drive and the plan shows sidewalks and street landscaping to encourage pedestrian access from nearby neighborhoods. The subject property is located in the Developed land Classification and is within the urban services boundary. Policies in the Comprehensive Plan promote development in these areas. Other policies in the Plan support locating commercial services in close proximity to the markets they serve 43 and support mixed use development in undeveloped areas to reduce dependency on automobiles, while preserving valuable natural resources including open space. The Comprehensive Plan also supports providing street connectivity to reduce impacts of traffic on our major thoroughfares. The proposed project accomplishes the Comprehensive Plan objectives and provides desirable traffic improvements to the area. Staff Recommends Approval. 44 / / ./ ~ o t.l oil :!! Ii: c 'iij C.

The area is included in the Developed Land Classification with access to County sewer and City of Wilmington water. The site plan includes 18 commercial buildings with a total of290,536 sq. ft. The number of parking spaces required and provided has been shown on the Area Use Table on the master plan. Also, 26 potential uses have been listed on the site plan, which represent approximately 30% of the 85 uses permitted in the B-2 zone. The required permitting is completed and sewer line and water extensions are in place for the existing (CD) B-1 zoning. The storm water control for the entire site is approved and being implemented. No wet lands exist. Although sidewalks are not required in the County, we have included 5' wide concrete sidewalks along both sides of Pine Hollow Drive extension, Matteo Drive and Sikes Drive to promote pedestrian activity and alternative transportation modes. In an effort to create a more attractive streetscape along Carolina Beach Road, the commercial town center, and Matteo Drive, the buildings front on these three streets, with parking provided on the back and sides of the buildings. The site plan reflects street improvements called for in the TIA, including major improvements at the traffic signal and across Carolina Beach Road at Silva Terra Drive. The developer has also obtained access to Saint Andrews Drive via Sikes Drive Extension, addressing traffic "safety risk" concerns at Saint Andrews Drive and Carolina Beach Road as well as concerns regarding cut through traffic on Pine Hollow Drive. When looking closely and objectively at this particular project, its sensibility becomes very familiar. Belle Meade Plaza's master plan and its foundation are firmly grounded by many of the mandates set forth by the County and The City's directives outlined in the Land Use and Urban Design Policy Text. Belle Meade Plantation (a single family, 52 lot community located at the north end of Pine Hollow Drive) embraced the preservation of a historic homestead dating back to 1823. These low country homes and their 47 streetscapes feature traffic circles designed to serve as traffic calming devices. These round-a-bouts are the first approved in the New Hanover County public street system. Center islands down the middle of Pine Hollow Drive Extension (the accomplishment of builder/developer, John Galarde) are also a first and add to the project's unique streetscape. The back alley design of the community dramatically lowers the number of ingress and egress points throughout the design. The alleys and sidewalks present on both sides of the road are conducive to pedestrian activities, not limited to an evening walk to the nearby shopping center for ice cream or other goods or services. This same attention to detail will be replicated in the commercial and additional residential portions of the master plan. The Independent Living Facility area along with approximately 11 acres of R-I5 provides a future opportunity to bring "a variety of housing types" in close proximity to the commercial markets that serve them. Belle Meade Plaza and its geographical location make it ideally and uniquely suited for a wide variety of public benefit. Currently, the 7000 plus residents, living within a one mile radius of Belle Meade Plaza, are traveling daily to other commercial nodes in search of employment, services, and perishable and non-perishable items. Promoting a sizable, comprehensive commercial node in their own demographic area will limit the time and expense required to travel to over crowded areas, adding to traffic congestion in the northern portion of the County. Without replication of the goods and services, office space, etc., this trend will only continue and worsen over time. Additionally, Belle Meade Plaza has the potential of providing over 300 jobs to the County's economy. The connection to Saint Andrews Drive adds a much needed and dynamic benefit; foremost addressing dangerous traffic movements occurring at the intersection at Carolina Beach Road and Saint Andrews Drive. These traffic patterns were already studied and are a part of the required TIA. The populace in the area would be given the opportunity to shop, work, live and relax within their own neighborhood through the proposed expansion of Belle Meade Plaza. When studied in depth, this project hits the bulls-eye and its positive attributes far out shine any preconceived negative notions. Your approval is vital to restoring "commercial and economic equilibrium" to the southern portion of the County. 48 Requirement #1 1. The site is located within the Myrtle Grove VFD. 2. The site has direct access to Carolina Beach Road (US 421) at an existing signal. Site plan calls for substantial road improvements within the project as well as off site improvements of Silva Terra Drive. 3. The plan includes major upgrading of traffic signalization at Silva Terra and Matteo Drives on Carolina Beach Road. 4. The site has direct access to Saint Andrews Drive, offering an alternative route for westbound traffic that currently uses Saint Andrews Drive to access Carolina Beach Road. This intersection had been identified as a "safety risk" by the City of Wilmington. (See enclosed letter from Mr. Cheatham, City Manager, dated August 10. 2004) 5. The site is served by County sewer and City water. Requirement #2 1. The site plan meets all of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The site plan includes 18 commercial buildings with a total of 290,536 sq. ft. (See Area Use Data Table on Drawing). 3. A list of potential uses is shown on the site plan (See Potential Uses Table on drawing). 4. Of the 26 uses shown on the Potential Uses Table, all are permitted in the B-1 zone with the exceptions of movie theater, hotels and residential. The 26 uses listed represent approximately 30% of the 85 uses permitted in the B-2 zone. 5. Sufficient area to accommodate required landscaping and buffer is shown on the site plan. 6. Although side walks are not required, the developer has chosen to include 5' public sidewalks throughout the development. 7. Parking to serve buildings on Carolina Beach Road and on each side of both the commercial town center and Matteo Drive have been placed to the rear and side of proposed commercial buildings in an effort to create a more attractive streetscape along these roads. 8. Developer has obtained the Sikes Drive extension to St Andrews Drive, providing much needed interconnectivity and safer access to Carolina Beach Road for westbound traffic on Saint Andrews Drive. 49 Requirement #3 1. Approximately 50% of this land area is currently zoned (CD) B-1, with the remainder in R -15 zoning. 2. A Traffic Impact Analysis has been submitted and the recommended roadway improvements have been incorporated into the plans. 3. The proposed neighborhood business plaza can be conveniently accessed by the existing neighborhoods on the southwest side of Carolina Beach Road, the neighborhoods of Belle Meade Plantation, Johnson Farms, Cambridge Heights, The Lakes, and The Arbors, as well as the neighborhoods and apartment complexes bordering Saint Andrews Drive. These neighborhoods are comprised of thousands of residences. 4. The proposed landscaping and buffering areas are adequate to protect adjacent properties. The attention to aesthetic details within Belle Meade Plaza was planned with improvement of residents' quality of life without adversely affecting property values in mind. 5. The roadway design incorporates traffic calming measures to discourage cut through traffic while allowing interconnectivity. 6. The plan provides access to Saint Andrews Drive via Sikes Drive extension, alleviating an already existing traffic "safety risk" at Saint Andrews Drive and Carolina Beach Road. Additionally, this connection will diminish the likelihood of cut through traffic to the center via Pine Hollow Drive off of College Road. 7. Road stubs for future connection should improve some existing traffic problems for nearby residents. Requirement #4 1. The site is classified as developed by the New Hanover County Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of the developed class is to provide 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. 2. Policies in the comprehensive plan promote the location of commercial services in close proximity to the markets they serve. The proposed project can serve thousands of residences already in existence along an underutilized corridor (US 421) and along Saint Andrews Drive as well as provide excellent, much needed interconnectivity for the surrounding area. Currently, these residents are forced to drive through already congested corridors of South College Road at Oleander Drive, Market Street, and Military Cutoff in search of employment as well as the goods and services they need. 50 Attachment #1 Property Owners: A.

Main Street Richmond, VA 23219 RE: St. Andrews Drive Connecting Road Dear Mr. Olander: As you are aware from previous communication, Mr. Matthew DiGioia of Atlantis Holdings, L.L.C. of Wilmington owns property to the south and west of the St. Andrews Apartments, Phase II. Mr. DiGioia is constructing a development opposite Silva Terra Drive at Carolina Beach Road, and is seeking to construct a road connection between St. Andrews Drive and the new public street he is constructing. Mr. DiGioia has conducted due diligence in this effort, including having made an offer to your company for a land transfer deal to make this road connection a reality, which would involve no cost to your company. This connecting road would also be a public street, constructed on a 60-foot public right-of-way. The proposed right-of-way presented by Mr. DiGioia differs somewhat from the right-of-way shown on the approved construction plans for St. Andrews Apartments, Phase II. The proposed right-of-way, however, is more distant from St. Andrews Apartments, Phase II, and the point of connection with St. Andrews Drive is more desirable due to sight distances on the curvature ofSt. Andrews Drive at this point. The City of Wilmington acknowledges that this new road connection that Mr. DiGioia is seeking to construct has significant and measurable public benefit to the residents ofthe City of Wilmington and the traveling public at large. As such, the City of Wilmington strongly encourages your participation with the City in facilitating this action by Mr. DiGioia that is clearly in the public interest. City Manager's Office P,O. Box 1810. Wilmington. North Carolina . 28402-1810 (910) 341-7810 phone. (910) 341-5839 fax. (910) 341-7873 TDD 53 St. Andrews Place II LLC August 10, 2004 Page 2 of2 As you are likely well aware, the intersection of St. Andrews Drive at Carolina Beach Road is not signalized. Traffic wishing to exit St. Andrews Drive and turn left onto Carolina Beach Road, including the adjacent residents of your properties, experiences significant delay and safety risk in doing so. It is unlikely that this intersection will become signalized in the future due its close proximity to the adjacent traffic signal at Silva Terra Drive to the south. Traffic progression along an arterial street is best facilitated by appropriately spaced and timed traffic signals. Silva Terra and St. Andrews would not meet signal spacing design standards. Mr. DiGioia has presented a plan for providing a public street connection that would enable the motorists wishing to exit S1. Andrews Drive and travel south on Carolina Beach Road to access the traffic signal at Silva Terra Drive. Therefore, this road connection would contribute to the safety and mobility of your residents and that of the general traveling public. The City of Wilmington is committed to assisting in the facilitation of this roadway connection and respectfully request your assistance in the enabling of this significant public benefit and no cost to the taxpayers. Mr. Jim Flechtner, Transportation Division Manager (341-4676), will be contacting you in the near future to discuss this project and anything the City might be able to do to move this project forward. Sincerely, ~kta- ~ St;~g Cheatham City Manager SBC:rrb cc: Tom Pollard, City Attorney Wayne Clark, Director, Development Services Department Jim Flechtner, Manager, Transportation Division Kaye Graybeal, Manager, Planning Division Matt DiGioia, Atlantis Holdings, L.L.C. 54 Attachment #2 1) Land classification The site is located in a rapidly growing area of the County and is classified as Developed on ,the County Land Classification Map. THE PURPOSE OF THE DEVELOPED CLASS is to provide 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 immediatefuture. Most of the land within the City of Wilmington is designated as Developed, except for some Urban Transition and Conservation areas. Density may exceed 2.5 units per acre within the developed land class, depending upon local zoning regulations. This site has access to County sewer and City water. It has direct access to Carolina Beach Road, which is a major thoroughfare, and Saint Andrews Drive. All proposed building and landscape buffer setbacks meet the County Zoning requirements, making these proposed land uses compatible with existing surrounding land uses, which are predominately large, developed and undeveloped residential zoned properties. Development Plan calls for extension of Pine Hollow Drive as a collector street to the existing light at Carolina Beach Road and Silva Terra Drive (currently under construction). 2) Land Use and Urban Design Policy The following land use and urban design policy is applicable and consistent with the County Use Plan. 4. COMMERCIAL 4.1 New Hanover County and City of Wilmington will assure that land is available for commercial uses within close proximity to the markets they serve while not diminishing the quality of residential and mixed use neighborhoods. 55 5. MIXED USE 5.1 The City of Wilmington and New Hanover County will promote mixed use development in the undeveloped areas in order to maximize benefits from available infrastructure, preserve valuable natural resources including open space and reduce dependency on the automobile. 8. INFRASTRUCTURE 8.1 New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington shall promote development within an established urban service area defined by the existence of essential urban services and planned provision of those services. The proposed (CD) B-2 site fronts on a major thoroughfare and is adjacent to an existing traffic signal. The developer plans to develop the site with a mixture of limited commercial uses more appropriate for the area; specifically, uses that would be more fitting for a neighborhood center and would benefit the thousands of residents in the immediate area or those traveling along Carolina Beach Road. Infrastructure in the form of water, sewer and roads are all available to the site. The extension of Pine Hollow Drive, a collector road, to Carolina Beach Road and Sikes Drive to Saint Andrews Drive provides desirable interconnectivity and less dependency on automobile transportation, especially for the residents in the adjacent neighborhoods. These extensions provide controlled access to Carolina Beach Road at a signalized intersection; thereby improving traffic safety for those residents who utilize these roadways. In addition, traffic circles within the project serve to calm traffic patterns, improving safety for both residents and drivers alike. The attention to detail in the design of the overall plan (Le. sidewalks, center islands, traffic circles, building and parking arrangements that provide attractive streets capes and use of green space) is intended to improve quality of life while preserving property values, consistent with 4.1 and 5.1 above. 56 3) Transportation Traffic congestion and continued use of individual automobiles to travel to work, shopping and recreation has made resolving congestion a very high priority in both Wilmington and New Hanover County. The County Land Use Plan policy on transportation includes the following policy statements that are applicable to this proposal. 1.5 The City and County shall require street connectivity and minimizing cul-de- sac development through collector street planning. 1.6 In order that existing and planned thoroughfares may operate adequately, all new development must adhere to the intent and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. 2.1 City and County shall work with the NCDOT and the MPO to encourage alternativeforms of transportation including regional rail, local transit, Transportation Demand Measures such as van-pooling and ride sharing, and an inter-modal transportation system. 2.2 New development and improvements to existing facilities shall include provisions for a comprehensive network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including pedestrian causeways, breezeways and crossings, on collector streets and major arterials. These facilities will provide an alternative to the automobile. 5.1 Local Government and the State shall identify and utilize sources offunds and incentives to purchase or preserve thoroughfare or rail corridors in a timely and equitable manner. Where necessary, the City will participate in these improvements using impact fees, bonds and or tax increases. 5.2 City, County and State will investigate and use regulatory provisions for preserving thoroughfare and rail corridors. As Shown on the site plan and in coordination with the New Hariover County Planning staff, the developer is connecting with adjacent undeveloped land. The extension of Pine Hollow Drive as a collector street is desired and was mandated by the County Planning Department. This extension will create a collector street intersection at a major thoroughfare with an existing traffic signal and is consistent with County policy and Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the connection of Sikes Drive to Saint Andrews Drive is also consistent with policy and plan. Both connections adhere to Sections 1.5 and 1.6 57 above. Further, the site plan reflects public sidewalks on both sides of all streets as well as pedestrian crosswalks at all traffic circles, providing alternative forms of transportation in the form of pedestrian facilities, consistent with Section 2.2 and 23 above. As mentioned previously, sidewalks and traffic circles are not required by the County and make this a unique addition to Belle Meade Plaza. County Transportation Policy, Section 5.1 and 5.2 above, calls for preservation of thoroughfare corridors through cooperation between local government and State government. The proposed extensions of Pine Hollow Drive as a collector street and Sikes Drive are part of the overall master planning of this area and will be constructed by the private sector (i.e. Atlantis Holdings, L.L.C.). Attachment #3 The land classification for the entire site is Developed. A portion of the site was approved for (CD) B-1 zoning. Since that time, the adjacent comer property has become available, providing the opportunity to create a mixed use commercial node at the intersection of Carolina Beach Road and St. Andrews Drive. This would be consistent with the County Land Use Classification. Attachment #4 This portion of New Hanover County and Wilmington continues to experience significant growth. This land area is currently zoned (CD) B-1 and R-15. The proposed expansion and land uses called for in the request would better serve the needs of the County's southern portion. A significant landscape buffer and building setbacks will be provided as required in Zoning Ordinance. The close and even adjacent location of BelIe Meade Plaza to surrounding neighborhoods provides employment, goods and services to those residents as encouraged in Section 4.1 of the County Land Use Plan. 58 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQU EST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 12/19/05 Regular Item #: 2 Estimated Time: Page Number: Department: Legal Presenter: None Required Contact: Wanda M.
