Joseph ,Taylor presented the rezoning.request and introduced the professionals involved in developing the site plan and, application. requirements: Mr. Taylor also presented information regarding smart, grov~th and neo-traditional development concepts and referenced several smart growth initiatives being discussed and reviewed by the State of North,Carolina. In summary,. iVlr..Taylor explained how the proposed project is consistent with these smart growth initiatives and with the New Hanover County Land Use Plan. , Several residents from the Middle Sound Community spoke in support of the rezoning request by stating their interest iri re-establishing a 'sense of ~corrimunity at the proposed Village Square. Several other residents spoke in opposition to the request by stating their concern about setting a precedent for additional commercial zoning in Middle Sound and their concern about additional traffic orr'Middle Sound Loop Road especially at the Ogden Elementary School Intersection. The Planning Board members and the Planning Staff received multiple Faxes and Emails in support of and in opposition to the request. The Plannin¢ Board voted 7-0 to recommend - approval of the Conditional Use rezoning with the conditions proposed by staff and the petitioner. STAT'F SUMMARY: In 1970 when zoning in the Middle Sound area was established, most of the area was - zoned R-IS Residential. During the early to mid ~1980's the Middle Sound community experienced significant growth. The Middle Sound/Ogden Future Directions plan was the result of a study that focused on the traf c; the environment, 'and the development that occurred at that time. The result of the recommendations proposed in the study was a mass rezoning of property in Middle Sound from R-15 Residential to R-20 and R-20S tivhich was adopted in July 1988.,The sub~ectaprop ~rty`'~s~loeated:oii'?the border of the rezoning effort and is directlyadjacent to a R=1'S residential dis rict:~CI,ntspi~te~~o~f the rezoi~ina effort Middle Sound like other parts of the County has experienced contintiied~grow,th throughout the 1990's and into 2000. With that growth and the ' additional traffic better•,irlan,da>orse solutions are needed. r. r" - Developments surrounding the subject property include Providence, Demarest Landing; Middle Point, Timber Creek, Stoney Brook and Baron Inlet; which were all developed underthe R-20S zoning district guidelines that requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet per dwelling unit. Middle Point and South Point subdivisions adjacent and east of the subject property were developed under the R-20 zoning district guidelines, which allows a variety of lot sizes with a maximum density of 1.9 units per acre. Sand_vbrook another adjacent subdivision was developed under the R-15 zonin, district guidelines which also allows:for a variety of lot sizes with a maximum density of 2.5 units per acre. The petitioner is requesting a zoning change from R-20 Residential to CD(R-1~) Conditional Use R-1 ~ Residential and CD(B-1) Conditional~Use Neighborhood Business. The . proposed conditional use site plan is consistent with the Traditional Neighborhood Style Development that has become a popular trend in the Planning, Landscape Architecture, and Architecture disciplines, If developed under the current R-20 zoning, the subject property is permitted 45 residential units. Under the proposed R-15 rezoning, the property can accommodate 59 total units. Therefore; the net increase in dwelling units is 14 units. The additional units would be dispersed throughout the site to provide a mixture of home sites incorporating townhomes with small courtyards, row homes with small yards and single-family homes with lar,er yards. Although the proposed zoning allows additional density, the petitioner has maintained 46°'0 of the site as open space with a series parks. The open space incorporates 2.5 acres of undisturbed natural area and three parks, which incorporate active and passive recreation including a ball fteld. All of the open space is linked through a network of sidewalks totaling almost 1.25 miles. ~~ In conjunction with the residential,.development, the applicant is requesting a Conditional tJse Neighborhood Business Rezoning and special use permits to create "Demarest Village Square," a 2 acre portion of the Demarest Village Master Plan which would accommodate small , neighborhood scale services and shops built around plazas and courtyards. The "Village Square" portion of the site plan shows a membership swim club and six, two stony buildings with a dormered third story. Buildings 1,2, and 3 are part of the Residential district but would be utilized for residential and non-residential uses that are typically either permitted by right or by special use permit within any R-IS residential district (see attached list of uses). Any of these special uses will have to comply with any additional restrictions imposed on certain special uses within residential districts. Uses within the other 3 buildings of the village square are also limited by the attached list of uses. All of the buildings within the Village Square will also be subiect to the Demarest Village Home Owner Covenants and Restrictions, whichincludes architectural design controls. f1s described in great detail by the petitioner in the "Demarest Village Master Plan Compendium," the site plan layout and the proposed uses are all part of the traditional neighborhood design concept which is an attempt to achieve a more desirable living environment than otherwise possible using current patterns of development. y ' The applicant's request to rezone this property to a combination of R-1 ~ residential and B-1 Neighborhood Business not only .incorporates and enhances the Demarest Village Community but also embraces the entire Middle Sound Community. The proposed village square would. provide an amenity for all residents within middle sound by providing goods and services that are not otherwise available without leaving the community and entering the commercial corridors along Market Street and Military Cut Off. The petitioner's traffic impact analysis suggests that this proposed village square will reduce the vehicle trips entering and leaving Middle Sound by approximately X00 vehicle trips per day and remove 1,6$0 vehicle trips a day from the Market Street and Military Cut Off toad corridor b.y internally recapturing vehicular 17 circulation within.Middle Sound. In addition to alleviating~some of the traffic issues in Middle • Sound the Demarest Village Park/open space system and pedestrian facilities will also be open to ~ J the Middle Sound Community providing another amenity for the residents of the area. The . petitioner has also presented a list of conditions that could be incorporated into the conditions of the special use permit. Among these conditions is.a requirement that the petitioner will assist in assembling the required application and design services, at no cost, for an enhancement grant to NCDOT regarding sidewalk improvements on Middle Sound Loop Road. from Ogden School to Demarest Village Square. - y The concept,of introducing a neo-traditional neighborhood composed o`f a mixture of housing coupled `vith some light retail may prove to'be a positive example for other traditional communities. This type of developmenfalso lends itself to less traffic congestion within the community and encourages more human interaction. Several sections and policies in the comprehensive plan recommend this type of development as a preferred style of land use. Based on the consistency with the comprehensive plan as well as the additional pedestrian facilities provided-for the Middle Sound Community and the additional conditions proposed by. the petitioner; Staf#.recammends Ap}~roval.

The plan emphasizes protection of our marshlands which act as a natural stormw'ater management system. ~'vetlands act as hurricane buffers, protect us from flooding, and are important natural filters for plants and animals. Natural resource protection focus areas include water quality, open space, wetlands, creeks rivers and flood plain areas, estuaries, beaches, potable water supply, air quality, agriculture and forestry, and harvesting mineral and fishery resources. Conservation Corridors, Grecn~vays, Parks and Gpen Space .The plan provides for conservation corridors and greenways which are linear open space systems that link and incorporate conservation areas, key parks, open space areas and -unlit}' corridors. The Plan includes neighborhood, community and regional parks. These are intended to provide a wide range of facilities tc serve the diverse recreational and sporting needs of the cornmunity. The parks and facilities serve both- passive and active recreational needs of the community. The proposed facilities range from playgrounds, picnic areas, basketball courts, /// baseball diamonds and tennis courts to larger atl`rletic fields and parks which provide for resource oriented activities, such as boating, fishing, and hiking. Specialized parks include golf courses and nature parks. Proposed greenways would be located along natural and-or man-made features and would serve as conservation areas or as recreation areas for walking, jogging, biking and enjoying nature. The conservation component of greenways afford opportunities to protect and connect key natural features and functions, preserve essential water resources, act as natural filtration areas for runoff and pollutants, and to provide corridors for wildlife migration. Greenways are typically located along streams, flood plains and wetlands, and correspond to .natural vegetated buriers adjacent to wetlands and perennial stream channels. Greemva}'s may be either publicly or privately owned. Utility corridors such as roads, canals, reservoir shorelines and water, sewer, and power line easements can also '--°: Good locations for greenways. Greenways range in improvements from slightly cleared natura! pathways to fully, payed 'Dike and pedestrian paths, and may or may not be accessible to the public. Residential :~leighborhood i~eve3opment The Plan provides guidelines for creating regulations acid incentives that will encourage the development of residential neighborhoods with environmentally sensitive design and an integrated open space system. The Plan focuses on improving modern residential development designs such as planned unit developments. The Plan accommodates Traditional Neighborhood Development with smaller lot neighborhoods, narrower tree lined streets, and sidewalks on both 32 sides of the street. This design emphasizes a pedestrian orientation and scale. Diverse housing types and lot sizes are mixed and houses are located close to the fronting street. There may also be compatible nonresidential uses mixed in arnona the residential uses in .the neighborhood. Public spaces, such as forma( neiehborhood parks, village greens or squares are primary features 19 ti' ,-r .. Y ®®® 9®~ _ .. ~ ~ H .. ^a a P lan ~.~,.~... ~. ~" included in the design. These serve as focal points for community interction to compensate for the smaller lot sizes. Traditional .neighborhood designs include alleys for access to parking and. , for essential public services. Most iradi[ional neighborhoods use on-street parking ,which also serves to reduce traffic speed, buffer sidewalk pedestrians from traffic, and supply daily overflow or guest parking. Lin>~ing Pedestrian ~riendry Business and Residential Development - The Plan envisions concentrating business and residential development. in nodes, while retaining open space. This vision provides an alternative to unattractive, inefficient, and land wasteful strip development, with isolated cut off residential' neighborhoods. This vision decreases dependence on the automobile. The business nodes would include highly accessible, pedestrian friendly commercial centers, surrounded by mixed density residential neighborhoods. Ivtoving outwards from these centers, the residential densities would decrease. The Plan provides for innovation and .flexibility in land .use. Proposed business and residential nodes are identified, but the precise, internal arrangement 'of the commercial, office, ,institutional and higher density residential uses that make up the activity center is not specified. Instead the Plan establishes for creating development regulations along with incentives that will provide for innovation and flexibility in land use development. Changes to the Unified Development Ordinance regulations and procedures will provide the flexibility for innovation to establish and promote a hierarchy of neighborhood, community and regional activity centers. 1Jrban Design for Business and Residential ~teighborizood 1)evelop~ent A recumng theme from the community involvement and consultation process was a desire for improved urban design. These included thoroughfare landscaping and signage, pedestrian access, dedicated bicycle routes, and. pedestrian friendly shopping centers-and parking lots. The PIan includes general design guidelines to be expanded in the Unified Development Ordinance. The aim is to maintain and enhance the City and County's visual appeal and its image as an attractive glace in which to live, work and recreate. The Plan design guidelines address the aesthetic qualities of residential areas, activity' and employment centers. The focus of the Plan design guidelines is on the preservation and creation of a connected open space system ' with recreation facilities, and the preservation of enviroz-r,^_ ~°'!~ s~onificant features and -.functions. The design guidelines also address preventing strip cof~~x err,ial development, and the ' establishment of an integrated transportation network. The Plan guidelines serve as a basis for developing specific regulations, standards and requirements to manage growth and development. I-fistoric 1'resea-vation ' Closely related to urban. design for business and Traditional Neighborhood Development is the unique treasure of existing historic residences and business properties, primarily located in downtown Wilmington. The public involvement process of the Plan identified the need ro nurnsre and maintain this rich cultural heritage through historic preservation. To date a revised " ~ set of historic preservation guidelines 'has been vvriten for homeowners, builders .and contractors. - - The Plan recoenizes the established I Iistoric Districts which protect and preserve areas with ' architectural significance, heritage, historic importance, and their overa(1 aesthetic qualities. .

The site plan exhibits a parking area located on the corner of Middle Sound loop Road and Harlendale Drive to accommodate an additional thirty (30) spaces. This design feature is located and referenced on Master Plan drawing # 9: Master Phasing Plan; Demarest Village Square as "Phase(s) 8 -10, Optional -Based on Need". This feature also is referenced on P/Iaster plan Drawing 10, 1.1 and is referenced in the Master Plan Compendium in Sections 26, 28, 29 and 30. The design modification simply "slides" the Demarest Village Swim Club feature 24' towards Middle Sound Loop Road. The Derrlarest Village Swim Club perimeter fence .will be directly adjacent to the vliddIe Point Common Area, (map book 36, page 24) which provides a ~0' existing planted buffer "an a 6' high berm between Middle Sound Loop Road and the Demarest Village Swim Club. The elevation of the swim club area is several feet below the elevation of Middle Sound Loop Road, visually and physically controlling, vietivs and privacy behind- the planted berm from Middle Sound Loop Road. The previously proposed 30 additional spaces will be redistributed by. A) expanding the width of the two rows of the six parallel parking spaces from 34' to 60' on the north side of the Swim Club area fronting Demarest Village Square buildings #1, #2, #3. This will now accommodate 32 parking spaces in a ninety degree design format accommodating two rows of 16 spaces between the Demarest Village Swim Club and buildings #1, #2, #3 of the Village • Square. 6)33 Ri~ruiing Brook Terrace Wilmington, NC 28=111 • 1-910-686-9707 (Oj i-910-686-9716 (F) B) Ten (10) additional spaces are available to be incorporated into the parking program for Demarest Village Square at the existing "Whisper Park Court" adjacent to the "Village Park". The above referenced modification is consistent tivith the parking allocation submitted and now provides a total of 149 available spaces (from the 147 submitted) integrated throughout the site plan design program. This design modification provides no change to the parking allocation towards the Demarest Village Conditional Use program.

The Resource Protection .class has been developed in recognition of the fact that New hlanover County, one of the most urbanized counties in.the State, still contains numerous areas of environmental or cultural sensitivity which merit protection from urban land uses... . PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION 3/1/01: The president of the Inlet Watch Homeowners Association presented the. request and the concerns of the residents of~Inlet Watch Subdivision. . The property owner's attorney Mr. Kenneth Shanklin stated their opposition to the request by the Homeowners Association. The Planning Board questioned the authority of someone other than the property owner to petition for a rezoning. Since the applicant does not own the property being petitioned for rezoning, The Planning Board voted 5-0 to Dismiss the application. _ ~~ STAFF SUIVTMARY: .y The Inlet `~Tatch Homeowners Association is requesting a rezoning of property from B-1 Neighborhood Business to R-15 Residential for property located directly adjacent to their subdivision and owned by Mr. Philip Byrnes. The subject property was originally zoned R-15 Residential in April 1971 and has subsequently been rezoned to B-1 Neighborhood Business. The first rezoning request was approved in April 1984 for the frontage along Carolina Beach Road to a depth of 227 feet. This request was submitted in connection with the original preliminary plan approval of Inlet Watch Condominiums. The remainder of the property was rezoned in September 1987. At the time of these rezonings, several nearby subdivisions had recently been approved and Carolina Inlet Marina located east of the subject property had also expanded making it appear that a neighborhood business type district with neighborhood oriented services would become necessary at this location. Although several of the nearby subdivisions have been completed since this property was rezoned, the property still remains vacant after 13 years. Policy 4.1 of the Comprehensive Plan states, "New Hanover County and the 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." ~ '~ ~~~.tSeueral`~ other receil~tly established commercial centers are located within two miles of the subject property and.the~'surrounding subdivisions. Construction is scheduled to begin this spring on another retail~center;just~south of the property across Snows Cut Bridge. Two miles north on Carolina Beach Road there is;;an~tex~ist'ing retail center with a groee~ry store and other neighborhood retail •services. In addrtipn,to~theseitwo nearby commercial areas a large regional commercial node is ~~~ deyelopirig 4 ami,les to thernorth at Monkey Junction. While the subject property at one time could have been integrated into,the~surrounding neighborhood to provide services, it now appears that the /// residential developments that have been approved would.be severely impacted by the commercial +~ ~ development of this property. The potential development under an open B-1 zoning designation will ,most likely result in atypical strip pattern which is identified in the Comprehensive plan as an undesirable land use pattern. To the south of the subject property, there is also a small B-1 district which was originally zoned R-15 in 1971 and has gone through several rezonings since the early 80's. For all. of the reasons stated above, staff recommends that both of these B-1 Districts be rezoned to R-15 Residential. 43 Case: Z-723, 03/0 ~ ~_~ Petiti®n ~u~ary Data Owner/Petitioner: Petitioner: Inlet watch Home Owners Association Owner: Phillip Byrnes Existing Land Use: Vacant Zoning History: Area initially zoned R-15 in April 7, 1971 Frontage Rezoned B-1 April 1984 Balance Rezoned B-1 September 1987 Water Type: Well Sewer Type: Septic Recreation Area: Snow's Cut Park Access & Traffic Volume: Carolina Beach Road at Monkey Junction 25,00 \ Myrtle Grove Road at Carolina Beach Rd. 3,200 Fire District: Federal Point Watershed & Water Quality Classification: Telfaire Creek C(SW) Aquifer Recharge Area: Shallo~~ Water Table (Sand Aquifer) onservation/Historic/Archaeologic Resources: None Soils: Stallings, Lynn Haven & Leon Septic Suitability: Class II (Moderate Limitations) & Class III (Severe Limitations) Schools: Carolina Beach 44~~ NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NEW HANOVER COUNT' BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Apri12, 2001 Rezoning - Petition by Inlet Watch Homeowners Association to rezone S acres of property owned by Phillip Byrnes located at 7200 Carolina Beach Road in front of Inlet Watch Subdivision, from B-1 neighborhood Business to R-15 Residential.

Answer: The County initiated a process in 1984 to eliminate rural route box numbers and to change other numbers to create a consistent street numbering pattern. ~ This new numbering assignment is based or, a comprehensive grid system. Under this system, house nu~-wers generally increase in range as one leaves the City. Once the numbers are assigned,.they are entered into the Emergency 911 system, which in turn uses the grid system for dispatching needed services. Question: W'hy is house numbering deemed so important? Answer: Grid system numbering for houses promotes the orderly and efficient delivery of public services, including law enforcement, fire protection, postal deliveries ar.d other emergency services. Also, the numbering system makes it easier for various private deliveries, such as parcel services, building. supplies, furniture, appliances, etc. to find their destinations cruickly and easily. Question: Why is there a gap in numbers between my neighbors' home and mine? Answer: This numerical gap, typically in units of four, is designed to pro~,~ide flexibility in house number assign_ents. Zr. the event an extra structure is added to a lot, or a lot is subdivided, then additional numbers are available for assigru-~ent. without t:nis flexibility, it is likely previously assigned numbers would have to be changed again. Obviously, that s~ould be undu~y burdensome. Also, the flexibility eliminates the need for half (1/2) numbers or lettering (A,B,C) Question: How much time do we have to change our new address? Answer: Tw_ically, four to five weeks is allotted.. However, if more time is needed, the post office will work with the a.ddressee." Question: Once the new assignments have been made, will the County change it again. in the future? P.nswer: The implementation of the County's grid numbering system will eliminate the reed for changes that have .occurred in the past when ne~.~~ postal routes have been added. The system is not perfect but does offer a way to establish a permanent house numbering system while eliminating problem areas. question: Once my. number has been assigned, what type of identification is recn:ired for the home and/or mailbox? Answer: It shall be the duty of the o~mer or tenant of ar.y dwelling to properly display the assigned number on the dwelling and mailbo:<, if detached, so that it may be plainly seen from the road or access easement: Numbers should ~e~ minimum of three inches in size. {This pabe intenti®nally left blank} 50 C~ ~1 OI V1 A W N -~ a d d W N N N V °i O A c~cnmxxn aox c ~c a o ~ o ~ -~ { n ~r ~ . ~ w p p p Z~Zm~~ ~yv rn - w ~ ~ ~ ~, > >' ~ o DZa37jm ~ N ~.°.

Department: Planning Presenter: Baird Stewart, Dave Weaver Contact: Dave Weaver SUBJECT: Clarification of Land Use Plan Amendment BRIEF SUMMARY: The Coastal Resources Commission has conditionally approved the County's proposed Policies for regulating Marinas and Community Boating Facilities. The Commission has asked. the County to clarify the wording of Policy 4.8 so that it will be applicable. only within the County's jurisdiction. Since the Board has previously approved this policy in substance, the State has said that no public hearing is required for this clarification. r~ ~~ • RECOMMENDED MOTION.AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Modify the wording of Policy 4.8 to read as follows: 4.8 Allow the development of marinas, dry stack storage, and moorings as a means of providing public access to the extent that their development shall. nat adversely effect estuarine resources or public trust waters, Marinas shall not be allowed in Primary Nursery Areas (PNA), Outstanding Resource Waters(ORW), or open Shellfishing Waters (SA), except within the unincorporated Coin where this limitation applies only to Commercial Marinas. - Moorings and mooring. fields shall not be allowed where they may have an adverse effect on navigation channels. - Pumpout facilities shall be required .for existing marinas which have boats containing enclosed heads, except within the unincorporated County where this requirement applies only to Commercial Marinas.

The rationale is that one residential marina may cause Iess impact then a number of individual ,piers for a subdivision. The City, since this is a joint County/City LUP, is also reviewing this proposed amendment. The City, however, appears to be moving slowly and consequently delaying the review process by at least several months. County staff consequently has moved forward, to submit the proposed amendment to the N.C. Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) approval at the CRC's March 22-23 rr~eeting, Otherwise, if vve wait for the City, the earliest the CRC could hear the item would be at the end of July.

SUBJECT: ~ .. . NCACC Fit Analysis Pilot-for New Software System - BRIEF SUMMARY: ' Wake County has developed a new comprehensive tax software system. They are making the . software available to any other counties that desire to use it. We ;have ..been looking for a new comprehensive system for several years with no luck. This system. developed by Wake County appears to meet a number of our needs. However, any new system must be .tailored to meet the specific needs of the user county. The NCACC has been working with Wake and other interested counties to determine the usefulness of the system. New Hanover County would like to participate in the pilot program to have a "fit analysis" completed to determine if fhis system will indeed work for us. The cost. for being involved ih-this process is $10,000. This analysis will be completed by Intelligent Information Systems, the creator of the original software package for Wake County. The analysis would`help-identify what would work for us, and what the cost would be to expand the system to fit our specific needs. . This is a wonderful opportunity to help us determine the usability of this software, and to be able to take advantage of the work and financial investment Wake County has already made. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Authorize the County to participate in,the fit analysis pilot project. Money is available .in the Tax Department's budget. - FUNDING SOURCE:.

J~t-zr-C ' ~ X fi~ Dear Mr. O'Neal: ~~ The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners is pleased that New., Hanover County. is ; interested in piloting the Wake County tax billing and collections automated system.- I have enclosed for your signature the pilot agreement, which specifies the activities to be covered initially, and a synopsis of the tax system sharing project for your use in developing a board agenda 'item if se needed. I would appreciate your returning the signed. agreement immediately upon your county's approval but no later than April 6, 2001, in order that we can keep the pilots on schedule. As you know; .your county ~~~ill undergo a fit analysis to begin the pilot process, to determine how closely Wake's system and processes mirror your own; and what expense- your countyy., would bear ~if the new system were implemented. Intelligent Information Systems will conduct the fit analyses in conjunction with your staff, and NCACC and our county project committee will review and monitor IIS' work: We have tentatively scheduled. the fit analyses to conclude by mid-iVlay; in order that you have a firm budget estimate should you choose to proceed. The billing and collections portion of the system; currently under development, tivill be a part of the fit analysis and budget estimate. The assessment component, scheduled for implementation in Wake County in summer, 2002, will not be included. , The fit analysis cost for your county is $10,000, which will defray only a portion of the analysis' Total cost. NCACC and Intelligent Information Systems have agreed to fund in part the pilot fit analyses since they will help define the core tax system. We have also structured the pilot deliverables to be of-,use to your county in analyzing other automation options should you decide against system implementation. ' We appreciate Wake County's generosity in making available its tax collections and listing software, valued at $1.5 million, to other North Carolina counties. However, interested counties still would need to fiord data conversion, customization, system interfaces, and training, usually .consuming around 50% to 75% of project costs. Based on a very preliminary estimate, we expect system implementation costs to run from $200,000 for a smaller county to $800,000 for a larger county. We are happy to report that IIS has offered,a° three-year;payrnent,plan to help defray these expenses. Please also bear in mind that these cost ~~ re -_., estirriates assume a solidtechnology infrastructure in place, little software customization, and clean data for conversion. ~ _. r,, ~ , a _ ~=:F. ',,: ~ Wake County -anticipates;~that the benefits derived from implementing its-new listing system should offset their investment costs within 18 months. Wake is now calculating their expected benefits for the new •~,~~,- , collections module. Wake County has documented these savings from improved staff efficiencies, more streamlined enforcement activities, automated clerical tasks, billing consolidation, and more accurate billing and collections data. I~TCACC is hopeful that other.counties can realize improved collections rates, lower system costs and risks associated with maintaining poorly supported legacy systems, and increased staff efficiencies by automating routine clerical tasks: We are very excited about developing a robust, state-of--the-art tax system for use by North Carolina counties, with the organizational structure and technical assistance in place to maintain, enhance, and upgrade the system as county needs and technologies change. We also hope to use "lessons learned" from this project to model other software sharing opportunities. Thanks again for joining us in this unique venture. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, `~ J ~'`~;U < ti Rebecca A. Troutman cc: Bill Clontz • C®nty ®ar Abe Subject: NC Association of County .Commissioners' Property Tax System Sharing Project Wake County is completing development of a comprehensive tax billing, listing, and assessment automated system, using the most up-to-date technologies to automate their streamlined business processes. The county has graciously offered its system for use in other NC counties, and New Hanover County has been selected as one of 8 pilots to help define the statewide property tax system based upon Wake County's development work to date. The initial phase of the pilot is acounty-by-county fit analysis to determine how closely New Hanover .County's technical environment and work processes mirror that of Wake County. The fit analysis will also examine what factors are driving New Hanover County's decision to consider implementing a new tax system, what benefits New Hanover County could anticipate by installing a new lax system, and what funding would be needed to move . forward with implementation. The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners is partnering with Wake County and its software development vendor, Intelligent Information Systems, to structure sharing of Wake County's tax system. By managing source code availability, NCACC behoves an integrated tax system, written entirely from a North Carolina county perspective, could attract a broad constituency of county users to jointly support maintenance, training, technical assistance, and enhancement. New Hanover County's payment for the fit analysis is $10,000, rwhich represents only a portion of the analysis' total cost. NCACC and IIS are helping to defray these expenses since the fit analyses will define the core functionality of ±he statewide system. New Hanover County's pilot agreement outlines all activities to be conducted during the fit analysis, including deliverables that will be of use in analyzing other automation options should we decide against system implementation. NCACC has contracted with the Institute of Government's newly formed Center for Public Technology to conduct the specialized legal research needed to underpin the software sharing test; given intellectual property issues, maintenance and support requirements, and other shared services needed to support statewide software. implementation. NCACC is also exploring with Wake County and IIS the feasibility of generating a "royalties" revenue stream, if IIS is successful at marketing the software outside of North Carolina. Again, these fiords would support future system advancements. It is important to note that while Wake County is making available its listing and collections software-valued at $1.5 million-to other counties free of charge, interested counties still would need to fiord data conversion, customization, system interfaces, and training. IIS is prepared to act as the preferred provider for these services and NCACC' hopes to price these expenses to enable participation by any and all county members, regardless of size or budget. Based on a very preliminary estimate, NCACC expects system implementation costs to run from $200,000 for a smaller county to $800,000 for a larger county. NCACC reports that IIS will offer athree-year payment plan to help defray these expenses. These cost estimates do assume a solid technology infrastructure in place, little software customization, and clean data for conversion. Wake County anticipates that the benefits derived from implementing its r~ew listing system should offset their investment costs within 18 months. The county has documented savings from improved staff efficiencies, more streamlined enforcement activities, automated clerical tasks, billing consolidation, and more accurate billing and llections data. NCACC is hopefiil that other counties can realize improved collections rates, lower system costs ~id risks associated with maintaining poorly supported legacy systems, and increased staff efficiencies by automating routine clerical tasks. AGREEMENT F®R C®1'TSULTIlV~ SElE2VICES THIS AGREEMENT FOR CONSULTING SERVICES (the "Agreement") is entered into the day of (the "Effective Date') by and between the NC Association of County Comrriissioners ("NCACC"), INTELLIGENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS, IiVC. ("IIS") and New Hanover County ("Client"), in consideration of the mutual promises set forth below. 1. Description of I,IS's services. IIS will gather requirements from the Client and define the scope of effort necessary to adapt the Wake County Property Tax System for implementation at New Hanover County as follows: (a) IIS wll~perform a Fit/Gap analysis of the Client's Property Tax System versus the Wake County Property Tax System to: (1) Determine if the existing Wake County Property Tax System would meet the Client's needs. - (2) Identify any Client requirements that the Wake County system cannot meet and to categorize them as Absolutely Required, Important, or Nice to Have; (3}Quantify the data migration effort; and (4) Determine and quantify the legacy system interfaces that. must be created by or for the Client. (b) IIS will gather information necessary to understand the Client's requirements for a new Property Tax - System:.
