CASE : A-328, 05/03 Applicant: Tidal creeks Advisory Board
BRIEF SUMMARY:
REQUEST: Add section 59.4-6 to The Conservation Overlay District to incorporate Vegetated Buffer Controls for
Conservation Lands as recommended by the UDO Oversight Committee.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
The proposed text amendment was presented to the Planning Board several times. Several members of the Board had
questions about where the proposed COD buffer would be measured. Staff explained the buffer would be measured from
the resource line, exactly the same line that is currently used by the County to measure the COD setback. The Planning
Board wanted to ensure that the UDO committee agreed with the staff explanation and remanded the amendment to the
UDO committee. Ultimately in October the UDO Committee confirmed that the COD buffer was intended to be measured
from the same resource boundary as other COD setbacks and not from the CAMA line. This is also consistent with the
language adopted by the City. At their regular meeting in December the Planning Board voted 7-0 to recommend
approval of the text amendment as proposed.

SUBJECT:
First Reading
Approval of the Revised Minimum Standards for General Aviation Services
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Airport Authority?s Strategic Plan has placed an emphasis on improving the general aviation services, improving
facilities and hangars, and attracting additional general aviation traffic. This effort will increase airport revenue and recruit
new businesses for corporate hangars and ultimately the ILM Business Park.
ILM currently has three Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) who provide services to local and itinerant general aviation aircraft.
They are operating under long term leases and specified Minimum Standards which are due to expire in 2005 and 2006.
Since the original leases and Minimum Standards were written, the aviation industry has gone through significant change.
Since September 11, 2001, the general aviation sector has faced challenges to include insurance coverage costs,
environmental compliance regulations, and an increased demand of high quality aircraft services. The attached revised
Minimum Standards will alleviate the burden of obsolete and unprofitable requirements and add the upgraded services,
facilities and hangars demanded by general aviation customers.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Approve the Minimum Standards for General Aviation Services as written. The document has been formatted to show
deletions and additions. Ms. Wanda Copley, the County Attorney, has participated through the revision process, and she
has approved the final version of the document. An airport representative will be available upon request to answer
questions if necessary.

Manpower Needs for Food Stamps and Family & Children's Medicaid
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Given the dramatic rise in Food Stamps and Family & Children's Medicaid cases DSS has requested new staff. NHC
Human Resources has reviewed this request for additional Economic Services Caseworkers in Food Stamps and Family &
Children's Medicaid. Two additional workers in Family & Children's Medicaid and two additional workers in Food Stamps
will reduce caseloads to a more manageable level. DSS staff will present additional data to justify additional staff to the
County Commissioners through a PowerPoint presentation.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Approve two new Economic Services Caseworker positions in Food Stamps and two new Economic Caseworker positions
in Family & Children's Medicaid
FUNDING SOURCE:
Will above action result in: New Position(s) Number of Positions: 4
Explanation: The funding for these positions is 50% federal and 50% county. The projected cost to the county is:
Five months (February 2004 - June 2004) = $29,157.
Twelve months in FY 04-05 = $72,586.
FY03-04 funding will be absorbed in the current DSS budget primarily due to savings realized by renegotiation of the child
support contract for this FY. Funding for FY04-05 will be considered as part of the annual budget process.
