Mi-. O'Neal: The audit of Coastal Horizons Center, Inc. for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 has been completed and a copy will soon be forwarded to the Loullty by the zi~anagement of Coastal ]=lorizons Center,.~Ine. Certain ,logistical delays slowed the completion of our audit. The post June 30 close out by the various State agencies that ultimately provide more than 90% of the Center's funding is a process that requires a si~lificant amount of time until final numbers are received. The vario~is State agencies work hard to get this infonmation disseminated as quickly as passible, but it is a process that requires some time gild will ahvays exis~i under the current system of funding/reporting/administration requirements. ~11so, due to the state of the recent economic downturn, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP has experienced unusually heavy time demands from other engagements which we schedule rr~onths in advance; just as we do the C'enter's audit. McGladrey c$ Pullen LLP got off schedule while awaiting the State agencies' closeouts, as our staff was committed to other s~ibsequent_engagements: Coastal Horizons' audit has now been completed, and we do not expect this type of delay will recur. 1'hc i ~~~son that the County 'has an audit requirement is to assure County government that the_ agencies it is fiirding are acting and operating responsibly. As your staff can attest from the audits submitted by Coastal Horizons for many previaus years and for its more recent fiscal year also, Coastal Horizons has a record of be~it~g operated responsibly and the County's money is not at risk. I am aware o:f the funding burden shifted from the State to local governments, and I am aware that the County is scrutinizing all the outside entities to which it provides funding as well as scnitinizing its other ~.ipe,.a. ~~vw ~'~'i.i, ii,..lL'.., i~iu,~ ii..,~ ..,,viii it~ 1CCOn SluLi ui~ prOpt„~CU uixuiiig CLi :, lOi tiie ..,:,, i;, i S Rape Task Force and Crisis Line that reduces funding to a far greater degree than other nonprofit organizations. Coastal Horizons' Rape Task Force and Crisis Line, along with their other mue11 needed substance abuse and mental health services; are very important tothe-citizens of New Hanover County; and an inadvertent breach of an administrative requirement should not be the basis to reduce or terminate these programs. ~Ue request that the County not reduce the Center's funding to a greater degree than the other agencies in New Hanover County. ®~~`~~~1 ~ U ~ ~~~ ~~ P''i.

A parcel of land, approximately ninety (90) acres in size, consisting primarily of a lake, has been . offered.to New Hanover County for use as a passive public recreation area. The property is owned by the State of North Carolina and is considered~as a wetland impact mitigation measure by the. Corps of Engineers for ~1-40 impacts: The lake was created when f-~-0 was constructed.. The North Carolina Department of Transportation will use the property for the excavation of additional fill material for the construction of the. Northern By~Pass. Once this is completed, the lake will be ~_ . Larger than it is now, approximately sixty (60) acres in size,-and a reclamation project will result in _ the Fake, the shoreline and the adjoining slopes being Left in condition acceptable for recreational use. If New Hanover County accepts the property, the County must commit to providing and maintairiingbasic passive recreational facilities (trail, picnic shelter, rest rooms, roads and parking). ' • • Acceptance by the County should include requirements that v/homever excavates the fill material for the Northern By-Pass be required: 1) to construct the shoreline and slopes i'n a' manner acceptable to the County and the Corps of Engineers, 2) to construct an access road to the property, and 3) to construct a fence along that portion of the property boundary currently being . used for illegal access to the property. New Hanover County vaould need to send a letter to the Council of State, requesting that the property be deeded to New Hanover County. The fetter must state a commitment on the part of the County to provide passive public outdoor recreational . . facilities on the property, and that the Gounty will maintain the property in accordance with the cc ditions set forth by the U.S. Army.Corps of Engineers. There is a desire by NCDOT that this be ~~s soon as possible, so that the contractor currently working on the Northern By-Pass can ~, : .~ fill material from this site. .

J ~ar~'i~ load litigation Site (Crystal Lake ~arkj SU!-~;~ary T": _ .. i~te of North Caroline purchased a 94-acre site off of Harris Rcad to quarry fill material fir the construction of 1-<~'~. The site, which is now vacant; is composed primarily of a large clear water lake. The remainder of the property is divided bei~veen forested and barren land. The property has gone unmanaged for some time ar~d is used illegally by recreational vehicle drivers, jet skiers and others. The State of North Carolina has an opportunity to stabilize the site and make some improvements. They are interested in deeding the site to New Hanover County for passive recreational use. NCDOT also would like to quarry, additional fill from the barren portion of the site for construction of the HWY 17 Bypass. Additional quarrying would enlarge the lake and make the site less attractive to recreational vehicle drivers. The Corp of Engineers has concerns about the future use of the site as it serves as wetland mitigation for the Hw,y 132/1-40 intersectien constructed in the late 1980's. Use of the property must be consistent v~rith mitigation goals that are to maintain wetland andler riparian resources and other natural values of the property. The site may provide an excellent opportunity for future use as a Park. The park concept that has been proposed is consistent with the Corp's goals. if The County is interested In obtaining this propery 'the Commissioners m!_,st .submit a letter. of commitment. to the State -- - --. illustrating proposed uses for the site. Timing Construction of the H~,+n~ 17 Bypass has begun and the need r"or fill is apparent. The DOT ar~d their contractor APAC will be forced to look elsewhere for fail if this deal cannot ~e worked promptly. 1f all goes smoothly the '~ Page 1 a~ s property could be transferred to the county within 6 months. Once the land is transferred, the County could schedule. development as deemed appropriate. Proposed uses for the site: County Park - Picnic Shelters Restroom Facility ... .

The plan contains .historic references to ;natural 'hazards that have impacted the County, recommended strategies to protect homes and businesses and Policy recomrriendations to help safeguard the County from disastrous impacts of .natural hazards in ,.. .. the future. Members of the Mitigation Planning And Risk Assessment Steering Committee represent a broad range of - interests including City, County and State Government agencies, the home builders association, Regional Association of ~2ealtors, Corp of Engineers, C, P & L; and local citizens and business representatives. ` The Committee was administered by the NeW Hanover County Department of'Emergency Management. Please -keep ih mind that through the Community Rating System (CRS) County residents living' in the. 100 Year Ploodplain receive discounted rates on their flood insurance premiums through the ~lati~nal Flood Insurance Program because we have this plan grid participate in other activities to y ~. ~ mitigate flood damage. Following legislation adopted by the General Assembly in June and an ' earlier Federal law amended in October :2000, the State Department of ~ Emergency Management now, requires completion of a Hazard. iVlitigatiori Plan. Legislation requires that a Hazard Mitigation ~' plan be adopted before a municipality can be eligible to receive Hazard IVlitigation Grant funds.. Public commentsregarding the plan were received at the January 7 Planning hoard meeting.. Many of the comments have been included in the attached plan.

The County is also susceptible to nurrierous other natural hazards including wild fire, tornados anal earthquakes. In order to insure the safety of the Citizens of New Hanover County and to safeguard against property loss, the following Hazard Mitigation Plan has been developed. -~ Sar~.~,e, of the damage experienced as a result of past disasters can be iinl<ed to land use decisions that have not fully considered the possible impacts of natural hazards and the sustain~bility of development in coastal hazard areas. New Hanover County has a rapidly growing population with a limited amount of developable land remaining. ' P,Ithough current regulations protect property owners against some of these hazards, pressure to develop in many hazard prone areas continues to increase as the County's population grows. The process for developing this plan included deteiled data collection and analysis that has been used to identify high-risk-properties and help to define mitigation strategies. Planning for the full range of hazards ti~reatening life and property in Ne~~i Hanover County has incorporated ti~ese mitigation opportunities and initiatives to make the area more resistant to the repetitive damages li'~e those resulting from Fi~~!rricanes bran, Bertha, Bonnie, Tennis and 1=1oyu. ~i!any of the Policies and implementation strategies contained in the Ail Hazard Mitigation Pian are included in the Sturm gnu' Natural Hazard NJitigation; Rvacuatior~ aura' Recovery sections of the County's Comprehensive Plan and the CA(V1A Land Use Plan Update.

The underground point at which the earth ruptures to reiease~energy (causing the earthquake) is called the hvpocenter. The point on the earth's surface directly above the hypocenter is called the epicenter. There are three .types of faults: normal, reverse, and strike-slip. A normal fault is a "dip-slip" fault where a crustal block moves up~avard in relation to the hanging wall due to extension. rlo-t~;;~.1 >~~,~t.. fault. trsce rc,.ip ~di?~,~ ~' ;s;F ,i , ~~~, j:wni}ro•~r' ~.:h,n~~ i_ r_-.ill ~----- ~l r r ~ ~^' ;n ~ 711'"`{ ilk !tit "~!'~~ ti:~ck ~. ~,~" .~ ~.•. :e0:j 0fi _ --~ - - .,-- ', - ` ~~ ti h~,~n,r fora ~1t 4.x;7, r~ l l - ;~5;; 4 W _ Nib-- ~ i_~h ~ rrtiCl s ~. i-8 5 A reverse fault is a "dip-slip" fault ~vl~ere the hanging ti-vali moves upv~rard due' to compression: A,thrust fault is a reverse fault ~~rl^!erc the dipping angle is very gentle (30 degrees or less).

The, greatest earthquake magnitude in North Carolina was recorded in Asheville, measuring 5.5 on the Richter Scale on February 21,, 1916.- ~ - The most violent earthquake to affect New Hanover County occurred on August 31,1886: The epicenter was located in .Charleston, SC, 150 miles to the south of New Hanover County. Even though the earthquake measured 7.3 on the Richter Scale, only minor damage took place here. A'few chimneys crumbled, plaster fell and china broke. in Charleston, however, 40 people were killed and hundreds were injured. Approximately 100 buildings were dest~=oyed~and most brick edifices were damaged. Earthworms escaped their underground homes and surfaced in great numbers; roaches and rats fled buildings and ran through the streets. The earthquake's initial tremors occurred at 9:50..PM, ~rrith aftershocks at '10:00 r'M; 10:12 ~'M; and 1.0:25 Pfd/l.

In the tJnitedStates, floods result in 70%.of presidentially declared dis.asters..Floodwaters can be dangerous .Six: inches or swi7tiy moyi.n.g water can pull a person into the water. Two feet of swifitly moving water can sweep away a car. Floodwaters can uproot trees, move boulders; and destroy bridges arid~buildings. The NF1P (National F1oo:d Insurance Program) was formed in1968 and serves to provide hazard mitigation efforts and hazard , identification. The NF1P is unique in that it is the only federal program that can directly regulate and guide land-use planning. A filoo;l watch indicates that filooding is possible in your area. A flood warning indicates that flooding is already occurring or will soon occur in - your area. The best way to see if your property or home is in a floodpiain is to chec~C the FEMA Flood Insurance Pate Ulaps. On these maps, letters will sym,boiize certain flood areas.

P.iverine flooding occurs when water overflows the river channel because of an over-ab~mdance of rainfall. Because we have low topographical relief in New Hanover County, water tends to spread laterally and affect a larger area of land than: it would in steeply inclined areas. Ground saturation happens when. the soil already contains all the water it can hold; therefore, any additional rain wii1-not be absorbed and it will pool in large _ . '' ~' puddles, causing aflood.

Winds from 74 to 160 miles per hour can extend inland for hundreds of miles.. Hurricane winds blow in a large counterclockwise __. .:. ,:. spiral ar,ound.a:Celative caim._center known as he `,eye " _The "eye' ~5 generally~_ , _ .. ... ~. 20 to 30 miles wide, and the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane approaches, the skies will begin to darken and winds will grow in strength. As a hurricane nears land, it can bring torrential rains, high winds, and storm surges. A single hurricane can last for more than two .weeks over open • waters and can run a path across the entir e length of the eastern V.S. seaboard. The peak months far hurricanes are August and September, although hurricane season lasts from June 1 through November 30. North Carolina ranks third in the number of hurricane landfalls per state, with 136 hurricanes. between 1 ~J00 -and 1994. Florida has received the most with 287, and Texas is ih seconc! place with 163. A trapical depression differs from a hurricane because its. sustained winds are 38 miles per hour or less. A topical storm occurs when winds are betvveeii 39 and 73 miles per hour. The storm becomes a hurricane anly once its sustained winds reach over 73 miles per hour. The National Hun~icane Center uses a scale called the Saffir/Simpson Scale to determine the intensity of a storm.. I describes and/or classifies the amount of property damage based on sustained wind speed and barometric pressure levels. ~,.,;rm s~ urges can be even more dangerous than the high winds of a hurricane. A scorn, ~:,~::rge is a dome of water that can reach ?_0 feet at its peak and is. 50 to 100 miles wide. The surge can devastate coastal communities as it sweeps ashore. Nine out of 10 hurricane fatalities are attributable to the storm surge. Iii the ~,larth Atlantic; approximately 10 tropical cyclones develap per year.

Wildfires Wildfires tend to occur most often when hot, dry weather has persisted. Vegetation will become dry and brittle from such weather, forming. a build up ofi dry fuel to feed a fire. Unlike other natural disasters, such as flooding, wildfires ; serve a purpose in nature. Although inconvenient and dangerous for humans, wildfires clear underbrush from forests to allow the regeneration of certain species and the removal of others. With or without human interference, wildfires are a part of nature. Before European settlement of North America, Native Americans used fire as a tool to clear hunting groundsand direct forest gro~Nth. Nlodern attempts to suppress ~niildfire ofiten backfires: too much.. vegetation builds up in forest underbrush, creating an overabundance of fuel for forest fires. There are strict rules about what one can and can not burn in Norh Carolina. ; Eight percent or more of the materials from trash burning becorne air pollutants. This can be highly toxic. Smoke from outdoor fires can aggravate asthma; allergies, and emphysema in suscepiible individuals.

The storm that threatened the entire Southeast coast until finally making landfall here, forced the evacuation of thousands of people from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Many of these people headed`norih°on I-95 and ~- Hwy. 17. Once the storm made landfall in New Hanover County, the roads were packed. People became stranded and many were stuck in their cars with no place to go. Access to the County is limited to two bridges. A third bridge will be erected by 2005, which will greatly improve access. Implementation and Action: Several highway projects are underway which will help speed evacuation of the county. A third bridge is being constructed as part of the HWY~ 17 Bypass. Reversing eastbound lanes on 1-40 and. Hwy. 74-76 during evacuations would also help to prevent traffic jams.

The NEHRP includes four federal agencies: FEMA, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); the National Science foundation (NSF), and -the National Institute of Standards and Technology (KIST). FEMA is the lead agency of the four and is responsible for planning, coordinating, directing; and stimulating efforts to reduce earthquake hazards. States eligible for NEHRP assistance must submit annual work plans. A percentage of the total state-federal funding must be used for mitigation activities. , . The USGS provides the NEHRP with earth science information concerning warnings, land use planning, engineering design, end emergency preparccihess decisions. Earthquake zones must be delineated by fihe USGS in order to reduce earthqua4~e hazards. Funds from the USGS benefit univel-sities, profit and non-profit organizations, and state and local governments. The f~1SF supports siting and fundamental geotechnicai engineering research, structural analysis and design research, research on architectural and nonstructural components, and research facilities. NSF a.vards grants for earthquake engineering and geosciences research. N1ST and FEMA are responsible for working with state and Joca1 officials, building code groups, architects, engineers and others to see that scientific and engineering research is translated into improved building codes; standards, and practices for structures, lifelines, and post-eaiihquake studies.

The subject site does not have significant existing or proposed infrastructure to support.- commercial' `or office zoning.

ATKIN50N CPA Deputy County Manager PATRICIA A. MELVIN Assistant County Manager DAVID F. WEAVER Assistant County Manager 414 Chestnut Street, Room 101 Telephone (910) 341-7139 The County Engineer has estimated it will cost approximately $85,000 to expand sewer down Plum Tree Lane. Now that we have the information on cost for the sewer extension in your area, I'd like to inform you and your neighbors about the process for seeking expansion of the sewer into your area. You and your neighbors need to submit a request for expansion of sewer down Plum ® Tree Larie. Your request should be made to Robert C. Greer the Chairman for the Water and Sewer District. His mailing address is 320 Chestnut Street, Room 305, Wilmington, NC 28401.. The Commissioners must decide how the cost of extending service down Plum Tree Lane will be covered. They could decide that all residents bear the cost,. that the County would bear the cost or some combination of the two. The next regular County Commissioners meeting is February 18 at 9:00 a.m. If you would rather come to a night meeting, March 11 is the next night meeting which begins at 5:45 p.m. Please indicate in your letter to Chairman Greer which meeting time is best for you. If you have any questions concerning the actual steps that must be taken to have sewer constructed in-your area, Wyatt Blanchard is the County Engineer in charge of all water and sewer construction in the county. He can be reached at 341-7129. Sincere:y Andrew .Atkinson C: Wyatt Blanchard • Robert G.

BOX 58 WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402 February 28, 2002 VIA HAND DELIVERY Mr. Robert G. Greer,. Vice Chairman NevV Hanover County Commissioners 320 Chestnut Street, Room 305 Wilmington, North Carolina 28401 RE: REQUEST FOR SEWER EXPANSION NEW HANOVER COUNTY JAIL PROJECT CREEKSTONE SUBDIVISION Dear Mr. Greer: . The Creekstone Community is located directly north of the new County Jail facility currently under construction. This project,has accelerated development of the water and ® sewer system in this area- of New Hanover County. In fact, the sewer line to the jail facility is under construction now and will be laid down a portion of our subdivision, Creekstone Lane, over the next several weeks. From environmental, public health, and economic perspectives, we believe that it is in-the best interest of the County to maximize the benefit of this new infrastructure. We respectfully request the opportunity to present our petition and proposal to the Board at the next scheduled New Hanover County Commissioners Meeting on March 11, 2002. Development in the area is placing increased impacts on an area designated for "Conservation" in the County Land Use Plan. The cumulative impacts of the old landfill, new jail, community college, and U.S. 17 bypass projects represent increasing risks to water quality in the Prince George Creek watershed. Expansion of the sewer system in this area provides the means to reduce wastewater leaching from septic fields to surface waters and will partially offset the pollutant loading associated with new industrial, commercial, and residential development. ~J ' '~ Creekstone Sewer Expansion page2 With a contractor already mobilized .for the jail project, there is a logical cost-benefit for extending the sewer, line down Plumtree Lane and completing sewer delivery to the ' community as a component of the current project. According to a letter from the County Manager's office and discussions with the County Engineer, an estimate for the associated change order has already been prepared. As there will be significantly less '. ~ cut and boring involved with the Plumtree .line, the estimate projected from current work is likely conservative. We would appreciate your assistance in placing the Creekstone Community on the Agenda for the March 11, 2002 meeting and. look forward to further discussing our equitable proposal with the Board.

The sewer line. runs along Creekstone Lane and then cross country to the jail site. There are seventeen (17) homes which will have availability of the sewer along Creekstone. Connecting to~ Creekstone Lane is a street called Plumtree Lane. There are. eleven (11) homes on Plumtree. The residents on Plumtree have asked for the sewer to be extended up Plumtree (see attached Plumtree Lane map). We have looked at two options for providing sewer along Plum Tree Lane. The first.. is to provide 1033 feet of sewer line to the end of Plumtree at our estimated cost of $81,700 or $7,427 per unit. The second option would be to construct only 602 feet ofline at a cost of $58,000 or $6,444 per unit. This would serve: all the homes except two. The line could be shortened if the last units do not want sewer. The attached map will help explain the two sewer line options. WEB/aj ~.

This year, script writers wrote a reunion at the high school into the storyline. The studio wanted the high school sign returned. Because the studio cou d not rneet the requirements established for a loan and because there. was potential for a continued need to borrow the sign, the best procedure to preserve the integrity of the Museum and good relationships with the studio is to deaccession the sign and return it to the studio. The Museum collection retains selected artifacts from the first years of Dawson's Creek filming. Deaccession was recommended by the Curator, Director and Collection's Committee. At the regularly scheduled February 7 Board of Trustees' meeting, the Trustees voted unanimously to recommend deaccession of artifact number 2001.79.1 , "Capeside High School: Nome of the Minutemen" sign. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Recommend deaccession of artifact number 2001 .79..1 and return it to Granville Productions for continued sl:ridio use. i~i.ai`~Dli~v+;.~ vOURCE: n/a ATTACHMENTS: none RE'JiE~NED BY: LEGAL: FINANCE: N/A BUDGET: N/A HUMAN RESOURCES: N/A COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommend approval. ,(~~,r COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS/COMMENTS: ~~f~f ~~flfli~i PROVED ~~-~~~~~~ DEJECTED ~ ~ ;,;' :,r (REMOVED (~ ~~ ~, f~OSTPONED ~ ~ t~EARb ~ ,u J r~ -; _;f 1;,~~~ 7 t ~~ `~~ .., !`l l ~~~ PJEUV HAN®01ER COt,9~TY B~AR® ®F C®MM~~~~~~~RS REC2UEST FOR BOARD RCT101~ Meeting Date: 03/11 /02 Conseht Item #: 7 Estimated Time: Page Number: ®epartment: Finance Presenter: Contact: Amy Akiri SUBJECT: Approve! of Donation of a Clasen Size Hospital 13ed with Safety Rails to the IVe~ I-~ar~over Regional Medical Center.

Both the Library anal the Foundation get numerous requests about historic architecture and historic preservation from university students across the state. This online project ~~iill give them v;sual access to the city's stock of historic buildings and lead them to vast amounts cf research material. Heritage tourism is experiencing great success in Wilmington because of it's lovely historic districts. This website should entice and educate heritage tourists before and after their visitto the part city. Because many of -the houses which have historic plaques were built by and for African-Americans; details of their place in U~lilmington's history can be easily be derived from the proposed images and research material. Scholars often refer to Wilmington in their studies because the town has an abundance of surviving records and because it was the state's largest city from 1840 to 1910. This online architectural history will help historians understand the social, economic and historical fabric of the town. Genealogists will love accessing the information contained withing the research files. The Historic Wilmington Foundation plaque program is difrterent than most programs which tend to only list the name of the building and i't's di~te or construction. Rigorous amounts of research are required to obtain a HWF plaque (see ~tt_=,chment #1). A typicgl plaque text will contain information concerning the arch~~~~.;:,?, architecture and changes in architecture of the building; building style; the vital statis~:>~.s, nfati~/ity and occupakion of the owners; and important e'/ents which took place on the property (see attachment #2).
