Setting s New Hanover County began to study its eshiarine watersheds because of growing community concern over declining water quality in the creeks and sounds. As rapid population growth exerted increasing pressure on the areas fragile and limited natural resources, estuarine water quality became one of the early casuialties. A gradual yet continuous decline, it tivould eventually result in the closure of once prime shellfishing areas throughout the county. With the closure of Howe Creek, a state designated Outstanding Resource Water, on December 6, 1991, all ofNew Hanover County's estuarine creeks were fully or partially closed to shellfishing. The water quality issue was further defined during the development of the Wilmington-New Hanover County Land Use Plan Update in 1991-93, as area residents expressed increasing concern over declining water quality; potential groundwater pollution; overdevelopment; and a perceived decline in the overall quality of the environment. As a result, land use policies were adopted that called for the County and City to take all necessary actions to prevent further deterioration of estuarine water gzrality and to bring all coastal waters zrp to the highest gzralitypossible. This included the protection, preservation and restoration of shel[fishing in the tidal creeks and sounds through the development of an Estuarine Watershed Management Program. Work began on the Program 'in 1992, with development of watershed profiles and review of exiting regulations. A preliminary report on the issues and recommended actions was completed in September 1993 and comprehensive tidal creek water quality monitoring by the Center for Marine Science Research at UNCW also began (see enclosures for additional background information). 2. Tizneframe • 1998-2004 Implementation Phase -Tidal Creeks Water Quality Enhancement Project - $17.5 million finding commitment for implementation -New Hanover County and the Clean Water Management Trust Fund • l 992-1998 Program Development Phase -Estuarine Watershed Program -New Hanover County, UNCW, Northeast New Hanover Conservancy . - Research, Planning, Demonstration Projects, - Comprehensive Plan Update(s), UDO development 3. Significance to the Planning Field, The Tidal Creeks (Estzarine Watershed Management) Program addresses community estuarine water quality problems and related land use issues through an innovative public-private collaboration that provides for unique research/demonstration projects, tidal creek water quality studies, and land use implementation measures. The.Program was designed as a collaborative effort between New Hanover County, the Northeast New Hanover Conservancy, and the Center for Marine Science Research at the University of North Carolina; Wilmington. The Program represents a creative departure from previous undertakings, in that the funding and management are a joint effort of the County, the University, and the Conservancy. In addition, the three organizations work closely together on special projects, such as the Futch Creek Clean Water Demonstration), l as well as enlisting the support of other groups- and agencies as the program evolves. These would eventually growto include the State ofNorth Carolina's Division of Environmental Health/Shellfish Sanitation, Division of Coastal Management, and Division of Soil 8c Water Conservation; U.S. Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service; Cape Fear Resource Conservation & Development; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and others. The Program's immediate purpose was to begin to gather data on the physical, chemical, and biotic aspects of water quality in each of the tidal creeks. The long term goals included`. assessing the environmental health of each creek, determining the mechanisms and sources of water pollution, and recommending strategies for short and long-term management of water quality and pollution. The Program's success depends tipon a . strong foundation of Cooperation, Protection, and Responsibility (CPR) to revive our tidal creeks and ensure the quality of our coastal waters-for generations to come. 4. ~ Innovations (publications/accomplishments) The Tidal Creeks program has contributed to the growing body of scientific knowledge about coastal water quality and several Scientific Journal articles have been published. as a result of the research and planning collaboration with UNC~V (see enclosures). In addition, the program has provided tangible water quality benefits to local residents, as well as economic benefits to the fishing/shellfishing industry. Long term water quality and economic benefits will be realized throughout coastal North Carolina by both current and future residents, the tourist industry, and local .governments. And most importantly, we will hopefully have contributed to the "quality of life" of our children and future, generations to come. 5. Slides Slides are available for the project.

USA Abstract. Human development along the land-seawater interface is considered to have significant environmental consequences. Development can also pose an increased human health risk. In a rapidly developing coastal region we investigated this phenomenon through- out aseries of five estuarine watersheds, each of which differed in both the amount and type of anthropogenic development. Over afour-year period we analyzed the abundance and distribution of the enteric pathogen indicator microbes; fecal coliform bacteria, and Escheric{tia coll. We also examined how these indicator microbes were related to physical and chemical water quality parameters and demographic and land use factors throughout this system of coastal creeks. Within alt creeks, there was a spatial pattern of decreasing enteric bacteria away from upstream areas, and both fecal coliform and E. coli abundance were inversely correlated with salinity. Turbidity was positively correlated with enteric bacterial abundance. Enteric bacterial abundance was strongly correlated with nitrate 'and weakly correlated with orthophosphate concentrations. Neither fecal coliforms nor E. coli displayed consistent temporal abundance patterns. Regardless of salinity, average estuarine fecal coliform abundance differed greatly among the five systems. An analysis of demo- graphic and land use factors demonstrated that fecal coliform abundance was significantly correlated with watershed population, and even more strongly correlated with the percentage of developed land within the watershed. However, the most important anthropogenic factor associated with fecal coliform abundance was percentage watershed-impervious surface coverage, which consists of ioofs, roads, driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots. These surfaces serve to concentrate and convey storm water borne pollutants to downstream receiving waters. Linear regression analysis indicated that percentage watershed-impervious surface area alone could explain 95% of the variability in average estuarine .fecal coliform abundance. Thus, in urbanizing coastal areas waterborne health risks can likely be reduced by environmentally sound land use planning and development that minimizes the use of impervious surface area, while maximizing the passive water treatment function of natural and constructed wetlands, grassy swales, and other "green" areas. The watershed approach used in our study demonstrates that the land-water interface is not restricted to obvious shoreline areas, but is influenced by and connected with landscape factors throughout the. watershed. Key words: development, Escherichia coli; estuary; fecal colijortn bacteria; impervious surface; nonpoint source; planning; sheflftshing; watershed. INTRODUCTION The land-~.vater interfaces along developed and de- veloping seacoasts represent key regions where the sus- tainability. ofnatural ecosystem functions can be com- a promised. Coastal ecosystems are undets, increasing stress from a variety of human activities ~vhic~t cause increased pollution, floral and faunal changes; and physical alteration of the environment (Vitousek et al. • 'I997, Epstein 1995). This increase in human activities ~~ Manuscript received 9 November 1998: revised 26 A ri1 Ceu;taz ~~ p 1999: accepied t~ September 1999. For reprints of this Invited ' G0'3~ Feature, see footnote 1, p.x. stems from coastal population increases coupled with growing coastal tourism (USEPA 1992). Much of the attraction of coastal areas to both residents and tourists involves water contact, such as swimming, finfishing, and shellfishing. However, those who participate in such activities face increasing human health risk from pollutants resulting from growing coastal urbanization) 1 Southeastern North Carolina, United States, is a rapidly developing area which typifies this situation. As human development has increased along this coastline; the nu- merous small estuaries subsequently have been closed to shellfish harvest for human consumption due to high fecal coliform bacterial counts /Mallin~Pt nl (9951 ~~ {This page intentionally left blank} ~: NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 06/05/00 Regular Item #: 2 Estimated Time: Page Number: Department: County Manager Presenter: Contact: Bruce Shell and Dave Weaver SUBJECT: Consideration of Reimbursement to Carolina and Kure Beaches for Hurricane Repairs BRIEF SUMMARY: As indicated in the attached letters and minutes, the Ports, Waterway, and Beach Commission is recommending that Kure Beach be reimbursed $176,491.95 (95 percent of $185,781) and Carolina Beach be reimbursed $84,704.85 (95% of $89,163) for hurricane repair work.

Catlin: On September 30, 1999 the Town of Kure Beach presented estimates tQ the PArt, Waterway and Beach Commission of Hurricane Floyd damage to beach structures totalling $268,470. After competitive bidding of the projects, the damage assessment was reduced to $205,531 and an update was provided to .the Commission on February 1, 200Q.. We have submitted appropriate claims to FEMA and our insurance carrier. Our insuranca~ carrier has reimbursed the Town $19,750 for work an the beach accesses. FEMA has denied reimbursement for emar~ency beach bulldozing and dune grassing and has delayed final rulings pending our appeals or1 sand fencing repairs, storm water outfali repairs and signage replacement. Our discussions with FEMA representatives lead us to believe that we will not receive favorable rulings on th+~ outstanding items. Base cn these findings, we request khal khe Cornmission endorse a request for reimbursement of up to $185,781 from the Room Occupancy Tax Fund.

We have now cotnplcted those repairs .and are requesting reimbursement in the amount of $89,1113, Tlis is considerably less than our initial pre-approved c;stimate; We completed three projects. The first was to rebuild the borm on the north end of our leach. The tot<ll cost of~this project was $71,17b to replace 28,700 C1r of sand, wl;ich was completed October 22; 1999. The second was to plant beach grass on this rebuilt beml. Working with a local company we received a much better price than originally estixtlated and spent $7,862 for planting. Because beach grass can only be planted at certain times of the year., this project was completed March Z, 2000. The.third project was a carry-over lions Hurricane Fran, Dtte to Scheduling and certain CAMA. permitting issues, one beach crossover was not repaired after that hurricane. Daring Febnrary aril March 2UUU, we had a contractor doing a considerable amount of Hurricane Floyd repair work: We asked that cot;tractor to tivark with us to get that other crossover repaired. Since he was already on the job in the area, he ga~~e us a quote of $10,125 for the job.., This quote was only good for the time he was here doing other work; we accepted this quote and had him complete the work, being certain that this is also the type of repairs that have been approved previously. i~ f` 20 ,May--25-00 10:30A Town of Carolina Beach 910t458+2997 f'_03 Nlr. ,Rick Catlin, Chuir»1c7n- P~t't, 13'irtenvay, ctnd Beuch Cotrtnri.rsion .

She is requesting $75,000 to provide medicine for those in our community who do not have the resources to purchase their needed prescriptions. If these people do not get their medications there is a good chance they will end up in the medical center, with major complications. Since they have no insurance, no Medicaid, and insufficient income to pny for the services rendered, the Medical Center's indigent cost rises.

Subject: E-911 ~~~ 80.OF COMMISSIONERS Date: May 24, 2000 I have reviewed and carefully considered the contents of the memorandum you receieved from Mary Gornto. I am, frankly, infuriated by the misleading statements, half-truths, and thinly veiled attacks on the administration of the New Hanover County E-911 Center. >`-...a My response: To the cover letter:: ~' ::-=~ . . • `By the Cenfer'saatest estimate .:'.:',:True:.The WPD is the;major client of the E- 911 center, .~._" ~ , ,,~' _ • "The Communications Coordinating;Committee .:." The committee was formed to ,.. allow input ;iri the system`selectiori'proce§s "by areaagencies served by the Center. The intent„ was never. to form a group to make policies binding on the Sheriff. If tliere Chas. been quiet ~in that area, it's because the primary antagonist is no longer around'It appears, that another hasaaken up the position. ty ' g~ . g ....The . • "The C. is still strug lin ,"City. of Wilmington is responsible for making whatever connection is needed fo access their information. The overwhelming factor in deciding which CAD to `use was the ability to access data and OSSI was selected partially because WPD akeady had it and information could be shared. [NOTE: Capt. J. S. Smith was at early meetings with WPD and OSSI where all parties pledged absolute cooperation. OSSI confirmed the ability to connect separate systems or set up separate users within the same system so that identity could be maintained, yet share information. Chief Cease heartily agreed. All this, of course, changed.] There is nothing to stop WPD from getting their information ....they just have to pay for the connection. Information on new technology and procedures are received daily and given • MEMBER s '. ~ \ / `1 'f " _ appropriate attention. The WPD is always more than welcome to bring up ° ~ ~ ideas or concerns which impact the 911 service. The only reason Sgt. Pigford is the only name given is because others choose not to develop a relationship. Higher administration personnel aze welcome to participate but choose not to. °. Their input is important but you can't just change for the sake of change or . ~ introduce new technology, which seems slick and nifty but doesn't really get the job done any better than it is. There is always room for improvement, but in the 911 environment, careful consideration must be given before disrupting routines. • `21ot considered by the consultant ..." I'm not sure what is referred to here, but we • . ~ have always had contingencies in place during hurricanes to allow for call routing in case of power failures or equipment destruction. Also, our system has been the Enhanced 911 for years. If, what is desired is to have `remote' - call-taker locations or dispatch cells located at agencies which would still feed into a central data center, that is entirely possible. I believe fragmentation of the system would have serious, if not dangerous, potentiality.: Responding to the "operational concerns" put forth in the City's study: • "Presently, 911lemergency ..." As stated before, the City is the primaxy client for 911. This does not translate into a responsibility of the Sheriff to allow administrative control over the center. • "When residents call ..:'There have long been ongoing efforts to make sure people are educated about how 911 works. Our system works no different than any other multi-agency center. The whole point is "one number for an emergency" • "T'he City has limited ..." The city has no E-911 center. The WPD is responsible . for answering calls. Their input on technology and procedure is welcome. • "The City has no control ..." These are not city employees. The City once had police dispatchers, but they were terminated. New Hanover County telecommunicators aze trained to state standards, which have been set by the Sheriffs Training and Standazds Council. No training can overcome administration-fostered backbiting by client agencies, which serve to undermine the center. • "Control and supervision of..." The dispatch protocols and procedures used on the - ~ WPD console have been provided by WPD. Street supervisors have always had the ability to override or amend assigned calls and have as much input as they c .. ~; ~ J ~. Allen O'Neal, County Manager Page 3 May 24, 2000. will take the responsibility to have. Several supervisors take an adversarial position towards the telecommunicators and. make protracted issues out of any error. There have been many instances where officers have told citizens that the center was to blame for something that was the officer's fault. Most supervisors have an excellent relationship with the center, however, and recognize the need to work as a team. • "In an emergency ..." There has never been a restriction on emergency involvement at the center. Unfortunately, supervisors seldom take advantage of being at the point of both information and dispatch. The most effective supervisors have a keen awareness of the relationship between the Center and police response. • "The ability to change ..." Call response priorities are the responsibility of the client agency. WPD provided what is being used. • "The ability to periodically ..." The WPD has access to, and can study any data generated by their agency `til the cows come home. All they have to do is ask. Most of the data they would need to study is probably in their records system, anyway. If the City makes the electronic connection, all their information would be available without asking. • "Quality control issues ..." The city does not have a 911 center. The City once had police dispatchers, but they were terminated and dispatch function relinquished to the Sheriffs Department. They may not control something they don't have. The Center is responsible for dispatching. WPD is responsible for ;response. • "If a citizen's complaint ..." WPD investigators and administrators have always had access to information regarding calls. WPD has never had a problem referring complaints to the Center and incidents are looked into quickly. Center staff is disciplined, when warranted, but it's interesting to note that when the center has a complaint about how a WPD officer handles a call or treats center personnel, there is little or no action. This lends credibility to the earlier statement about bias from the police administration undermining the center. • "Linkage between the ..." The connectivity issue is between the City and OSSI. For years, the Sheriffs Department paid to get records information. Client agencies of the Center are welcome to theirs (free of charge), but the Center is not responsible for the electronic connection needed for .automatic transfer. ' ,,. , ~ ._. - Allen O'Neal, County Manager Page 4 May 24, 2000 • "Implementation of emerging ..." Since its beginning, the New Hanover County E- 911 Center has kept pace with available technology. Once again, the existing CAD and records systems in both the WPD and Sheriff's Departments are from the same vendor, largely because it was important to maintain parity between the two major public safety agencies served by the center. • "A citizen's request ..." A citizen request for service is received at the Center and processed using CAD. Once the call is determined to be in the WPD jurisdiction, it is dispatched to the appropriate unit(s) following priority protocol and call policy provided by the WPD: Response to "The Bottom Line" regarding "Impact on the proposed new police facility": ` ~ In response to the misleading and erroneous information provided to the city's consultants, those consultants "included a calculation of future space needs should the City consider managing this service." In 1994, the City of Wilmington told New Hanover County that City residents paid County taxes and therefore should not have to pay for the dispatching of WPD calls. The City gave the County a date. by which to be ready to dispatch police calls '. in the city. The subsequent preparations included an unpleasant and emotional drama surrounding the hiring of WPD dispatchers who were discharged by the City. A selection process was developed to hire as many as possible and the deed was done, but with an extraordinary amount of animosity towards the Sheriffs _ Department even though the situation was, indeed, forced by the City administration: Wilmington Police dispatching came to the New Hanover County 911 Center by force. The. Center adapted to the consuming demands of WPD, but not without conflict, generally fostered by the attitude that the Center is under the control of the Police department. When the City summarily abandoned the dispatch function . of the Police Department to the New Hanover County 911 Center, it also forfeited its control over administration of that function. . The 911 Center has gone every distance it reasonably could to effectively provide dispatch service to the Wilmington Police Department and to all the agencies s ~ served by the Center. One is no more important than the other. Just because one agency deals with more call volume, it deserves no more or less than is provided another. What is provided is what can be provided based on resources allocated by what has historically been a county government eager to provide the best public safety possible for its citizens. e- Allen O'Neal, County Manager : Page 5 May 24, 2000 The New Hanover County E-911 Center and its administration are the . responsibility of the Sheriff of New Hanover County. The Sheriff is responsible for . ~ the entire County and is the highest law enforcement authority in the County. The ~~ E-911 Center serves most of the public safety agencies in the County through telecommunication function which has been delegated to the Center by client agencies: I have always. recognized my duty to work. cooperatively with agencies served by . the Center. Agency heads have access to me and my staff to discuss any aspect of the service. That policy will continue. I am not, however, agreeable to administration by committee when it comes to the Center. My responsibility in regards to the E-911 Center reaches beyond the client agencies. I am driven by my obligation to the citizens of New Hanover County to provide the service they have come to expect from the New Hanover County Sherii~s Department. They have come to expect a high level of service because that service has been consistently delivered since 1982. The faith of the citizens of the county has been validated every four years since. I have seen four chiefs at the Wilmington Police Department in that time. My conscience will not allow me to place my obligation and their faith in the hands of a committee. ~. ec: Mr. William.

Gornto, City Manager ,~~~ Date: May 16, 2000 " Re: 9I1 It has been nearly a year (6/16/99) since you last communicated with me regarding E-911 operations. Since that time, the City finds that several changes have occurred which have triggered our review of 911 " operations and interface. " By the Center's .latest estimate, 70% of the calls handled involve the City. It is estimated that the . percentage will increase to at least 75% of calls handled, when the Phase Two Annexation occurs. The Communications Coordinating Committee, established in Fall 1999 and chaired by Andy Atkinson for . selecting CAD software, quickly disbanded after meetings on CAD software selection and purchase. I am informed that this group, made up of all 911 "users", has not met for many months. The City is still struggling to make the electronic connection between 911 Center software and City Police Records softwaze. Beyond the line level relationship of WPD Sgt. Edward Pigford and 911 Center Supervisor Ms. Antley, there does not appear to be any ongoing dialogue to determine future Center/user needs, concerns, technology potentials, changing protocols, etc. The City has recently concluded a needs analysis study for a new Police Headquarters facility. I have enclosed a portion of the consultant's report regarding 911 communications for your information (Pp. 4.2 - - 4.6). Not considered by the consultant, but a concern that continues to be raised during ongoing. hurricane prepazedness planning, is the importance of 911 Center redundancy. The City is willing to discuss the . benefits of Enhanced 911 systems which have the capability for selective routing of 9I 1 calls and linked. multi-Public Safety Answering Points ("PSAPS"). I look forward to discussing the thoughts I've raised in this correspondence., I am available to discuss them in detail, should you desire to do so.

This compels the training staff to seek space in a wide variety of venues for specialized training. Lack of space also limits the class sizes in each academy. This naturally results in staff inefficiency. With a new building project, there is an opportunity for the Police Department to reassess how training is to be delivered in the future. Some specialized training spaces (such as firearms and drivers simulation) are to be conducted at the headquarters site in the secondary building. Some training, however, requires large spaces for defensive and crowd con- trol training, and may best be achieved in a freestanding facility located on another site. The balance of training requires the use of computers and. classroom space:. Hence, this space study quantifies training spaces, breaking them down into spaces at the headquarters and spaces that could potentially be located off-site. .. In any scenario the Consultant Team recommends that all live-fire firearms instruction continue at the Police Department's ~utd~~r firearms,proficiency range.

Telephone (910) 341-7139 ®fl. OF COMMI$SION~RS Fax (910) 341-4035 To the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and. Citizens: 1 am phased to present the recommended budget for fiscal year 2000-2001: After thorough review, I propose a tax rate of 59.5 cents,.. an increase of 3 cents over the current tax rate. The increase in the tax rate will partially cover the increased debt service on bonds issued for New Hanover County Schools and Cape Fear Community College. The debt service increase results from bonds passed by the voters in 1997 and it will continue to increase for the nett few years as full funding of the debt occurs. Future budgets will also be impacted by additional operating and staffing costs of new facilities. Operational efficiencies gained through modern technology will not offset the increased operating costs of the expanded and additional facilities. ® Debt service will increase in future years as the debt requirements of currently approved projects are fully funded: These projects include the jail expansion, judicial building, administration building, and Veterans Park. . The tax rate- is proposed to fund a portion of the debt service increase and will fund basic County operations with no expansions or enhancements for the next fiscal year. Funding expanded facilities at a minimum level can't be continued into the future if the .citizens are to receive the services they demand. The decisions made to balance the recommended budget with this tax rate will have some affect on long-term plans for the County. Involuntary annexation by the City of Wilmington continues to have a negative impact on revenues for the County, Fire Service. District, school system, and beach municipalities. The primary impact is on sales tax. The County is losing $1.6 million in sales tax growth, which would have occurred if the city had .not annexed. This is equivalent to-one cent of the property tax rate. There is no significant decrease in the County's service demands following city annexations. As this budget is being ". presented, there is another phase of annexation under litigation. If the court's ruling is in the city's favor, and becomes effective prior to September 1, there will. be additional revenue loss (for the County and other units impacted by annexation) for the third quarter of FY 00-01. This potential loss in sales tax revenue is not included in the budget. The financial impact will depend on when the annexation takes place. New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and Citizens play .22, 2000 ~ . GENERAL.FUND , Public Schools: - A transfer of $55,402,836 is recommended for the schools from the General Fund. Of this amount, $5,488,648 is funded by the portion of sales tax designated for the schools. No growth is projected in this revenue source for .the schools due to the city's annexation. This transfer and $1,000,000 from the schools' fund balance will help fund the ~, $4,837,969 increased debt service and a 3 percent increase in operating and capital expenditures over the FY 99-00 level. This is less than recent increases for the schools, but more than. the percentage increase in the General Fund. An increase of 10 cents in the tax rate would have been required to fund the total schools' request. It will be up to the Board of Education to determine how the. increased dollars for operating and capital expenditures should be.allocated. ' Cape Fear Community College (CFCC): Funding of $3,172,409 (an increase of $247,866, or 8.5 percent) is recommended fior Cape Fear Community College. The funding will be used to hire in-house custodial staff, address deferred maintenance needs of existing college buildings, and fund additional parking. It should be noted that debt service in the General Fund will increase $858,581 for CFCC bonds passed by the voters. Personnel Issues: Of 59 positions requested by department heads in the General Fund, 11 are recommended. All of these positions will provide basic level service to expanded facilities. An explanation of the recommended positions follows: • Airlie Gardens (2): A. total of six positions were requested for the continued development of Airlie Gardens and two are recommended. • Governing Body (1 ): A Clerk to the Board Trainee is recommended for one-half year to prepare for the _ transition. when the current Clerk retires and to assist with the growing workload and complexity of the Clerk's Office. • Finance (2): The Insurance Advisory Committee function will reorganize effective August 31, . 2000, resulting in the addition of two positions in the Finance Department. _The positions' cost will be paid by the participating organizations that benefit from the service. New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and Citizens May 22, 2000 • Health: Two Environmental Health positions were approved on April 17, 2000. The positions' cost for one year is equivalent to revenue that the Health Department anticipates from aone-time project that will be conducted in FY 99-00. These positions will be reviewed as new positions as part of the FY 01-02 budget process. • Parks{2): Two Groundskeepers are recommended to maintain County parks. The Parks Department requested a total of six positions. • ~ Property Management (4): Three additional maintenance positions were requested. One Tradesworker is recommended to maintain County buildings. In addition, three Housekeepers are recommended to provide in-house custodial services for the Southeastern Mental Health Center. Southeastern will reimburse the County for the cost of these services. Employees: A Pay and Classification Study approved last year will be presented for implementation in FY 00-01. An amount equivalent to 4 percent of salaries and impacted benefits is included for implementation of the study. New Hanover County employees provide a complex and varied array of services that citizens expect and enjoy- The country is experiencing one of the most competitive employee markets ever. To employ and retain a qualified, trained, and educated workforce will require a substantial expenditure. The cost of not doing so will be much greater. An amount of $960,000 is included for the County to fund the health insurance plan's 15 percent increase. There is no increase anticipated in the dental plan. An amount of $120,000 is included to lower the out-of-pocket cost for prescription drugs. The increase in out-of-pocket cost of prescriptions during the. current fiscal year has -been a concern to employees. County employees will not have an increase in their cost for health or dental insurance. Also included is the amount of .$30,000 to continue the county-wide employee training program developed and operated by the .Human Resources Department. The training program has proven very effective. . ~ ~. . ~ ~ ~ ' New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and Citizens May 22, 2000 OTHER District Attorney: County funds are included in the District Attorney's budget to contract with the State for an Assistant District Attorney. While this position will. be cost-effective, it is another example of the County supporting programs that are the State's responsibility. General Government: An amount of $262,800 is included to begin implementation of an integrated financial system: This amount reflects the first-year cost. The total project is estimated to cost $1,000,000 and will be financed over athree-year period. Museum: An amount of $400,000 is included to continue efforts to stop water intrusion and correct problems caused by settling of the building. This is necessary to protect Museum visitors and. guarantee the insurability of the artifacts.. Library.: An increase of $118,913 in the budget for books will enhance library operations in the current facilities, as well as the Northeast Regional Library, which is scheduled to open in September 2000. .Department of Social Services: The department's budget is based on continuation of the contract for support .enforcement and continuation of the current favorable economic conditions. if the Board of County Commissioners decides to change the existing contract or designate another entity to administer Child Support, additional County dollars may be required. If the economy takes a downturn grid unemployment increases, the Work First caseload may increase resulting in an increase in County cost of the department. The increase in County dollars for DSS is 2.5 percent. Sheriff's Department: Funding is recommended at over $100,000 a month to transport and house inmates in other facilities to relieve overcrowding in the jail. It is essential that construction of the new .jail be completed as soon as possible to eliminate this cost and overcrowding problem. Southeastern Mental Health Center: • An increase of $116,305 is recommended to fund additional staff for the Juvenile Sex Offender Program to enhance the delivery of treatment and support to children. New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and Citizens A~lay 22, 2000 Outside Agencies: There are some minor shifts in funding for outside agencies, which can be reviewed in detail on Pages 26-29. in Human Services, there is a slight increase in total funding for agencies: The Human Services Allocation Advisory Committee makes recommendations on the Human Services' funding. . Broadcasting: ~An amount of $135,000 is included to begin broadcasting of Commissioners' .meetings . . -via -cable television. Additional resources may be added to that capability to meet the .growing demand to keep citizens informed as the cable franchises are renegotiated. REVENUES The growth in the tax base between FY 99-00 and FY 00-01 is expected to be 3.2 percent. This small increase is the result of the slowed growth the County is experiencing. The increase in the tax rate.. of 3 cents will partially cover the increased debt service. The current ad valorem tax base is estimated to be $16 billion. Based on this estimate, a penny will be worth $1,568,000. .There is no increase estimated in sales tax in the current fiscal year due. to the city's. recent..-involuntary annexation. Local option sales taxes are distributed by the ad valorem method and are the second largest revenue source for the County. The County, beach municipalities, schools, and Fire Service District portions of the -sales tax will continue to be impacted by the city's involuntary annexation. If the next phase of annexation, .which is currently being litigated, would take place before September 1, 2000, the revenue from sales tax would decrease during the last quarter of FY 00-01 and the budget may need to be adjusted. .Due to less-than-anticipated growth in sales tax, the amount budgeted for sales tax may not be realized in the current fiscal year. The possibility of shortfall is based on only two .quarters of data. Approximately $2 million of the undesignated portion of the two one-half cent sales taxes is being used for General Fund operations. In the past,. revenues from this source have been transferred to the Water and Sewer Fund, and to a lesser extent, the Erivironmental Management Fund. The reduction in the transfer to the Water and Sewer District impacts future plans for the water and sewer system. New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and Citizens - . Ray 22, 2000 . Inspections: ` A fee schedule that is more responsive o market conditions. while maintaining the department's self-sufficiency. is being developed. The Inspections staff has been working with the contracting community through committees and presentation/feedback sessions: Together, they have developed a solution that I feel will be workable. The fee schedule will be presented May 22, 2000, for Board approval and adoption. Major changes have not occurred in the fee schedule in~over a decade. Sheriff: - During FY 99-00, the County began receiving revenue from the State-implemented 80 cents per month surcharge on cellular telephone service. These funds are being accumulated for future needs of the 911 Center. FUND BALANCE No fund balance is appropriated in the recommended budget. The County's strong fund balance is important to our. continued financial strength and maintenance of our excellent bond rating. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FUND ~. A transfer of $2.4 million from the General Fund is projected ~ to balance the Environmental Management Fund. Fund balance from the Environmental Management ..Fund in the amount of $1.7 million is also appropriated. The. recommended tipping fee is $32, an increase from the current fee of $28 per ton. Staff and the Solid Waste Advisory Board, who. are knowledgeable in this field, continue to review ways to provide waste disposal services to the citizens in the most efficient and equitable manner. FIRE SERVICE DISTRICT The current tax rate of 3.5 cents is recommended for the Fire Service District. The impact of the city's annexation plan on the Fire Service District will continue to be reviewed. Implementation of the next annexation phase (currently being litigated) prior to September 1, 2000, will impact the District and its budget. The Board will be kept abreast of changes. :, ,, ~~~ ~J New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and Citizens - Ma~y 22, 2000 WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT The District currently provides service to approximately 26;000 water and sewer customers {residential and commercial). The District's current operation. and future expansion are funded by user fees and a $2.4 million transfer from the General Fund. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ` No funds are included for directly funding capital projects. Plans call for financing the 'cost of developing -Veterans Park, administration building, judicial building, and jail expansion. The Board may want to increase the budget to fund some of these projects on spay-as-you-go basis: ' ACCOMPLISHMENTS The County had a successful year. Summarized below are a few of the many items the County and .its staff have accomplished during the past fiscal year. • Assisted citizens through. preparation and recovery from three hurricanes o Recognized the employees of the Landfill for recording 5,000 consecutive days without alost-time incident. • Moody's Investment Corporation upgraded New Hanover County's bond rating from Aa3 to Aa2 on General Obligation Bonds and Al to Aa3 on existing Certificates of Participation. ' o Expanded the amount of information available to citizens via the Internet. The new Register of Deeds system will be online in November and .greatly increases the convenience offered to the public. UNKNOWNS There are a number of items that are unknown, which may impact this budget prior to the end of the fiscal year. • The best way to fund and address the County's drainage needs. • Future annexations by the City of Wilmington. • The County's role in Legion Stadium renovations. i New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and Citizens May 22, 2000 • The most efficient way to provide child support services. ~. '~ The best way for the County and schools to plan and meet the future needs of students at an acceptable tax rate.. s The State's actions on mental health. There are many expenditure demands facing the County. This is coupled with a slower growth in the tax base and decrease in sales tax revenue. This tightening of the revenue stream is exacerbated by the city's involuntary annexation. The State Legislature must be kept aware of the needs of local governments for alternate sources of revenue. Additionally, the financial hardship that program mandates and shifting of program responsibility has on local governments must be made clear. The revenue assumptions and. human services funding levels are based on no major downturn in the economy. This is a very tight budget. If economic conditions worsen or other unforeseen events occur, I may have to bring budget amendments .back to you during the year. The estimates for revenues and expenditures are sound, but with no comfort margin for shifts in the economy. There is no funding set aside for future projects. While not budgeting for future needs has no impact on FY 00-01 operations, plans that have been established for the future will .need to be altered. Thanks to .County employees, New Hanover County continues to provide high quality services to the citizens. As the County faces many challenges, I know the citizens can continue to expect and rely upon a high level of employee dedication. But static staffing of expanding facilities can only be stretched so far. -The staff and I look forward to working with you as the FY 00-01 budget process is completed.

NOTE: At the Planning Board meeting on March 2, 2000 the petitioner asked for a continuance in order to pursue a conditional use rezoning as recommended in the staff summary. The petitioner has amended the request to a conditional use rezoning for Parcels 1=4 shown on the attached Site Plan #1, which amounts to 40.9 acres. The rezoning request for the remaining parcels is for a straight B-2 Highway Business district. ~ ~ ; , ~' ;k, . PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: (4/6/00) The petitioner provided a detai'~led presentation about the proposed"shopp'in'g center-project: The presentation covered the information that the petitioner had presented~dtiring two previously held community meetings. The primary issues discussed were traffic, stormwater management, and permitted uses. Several people spoke in-'favor of the request"arid a'few people warned about the traffic impacts. No one spoke in opposition to the request. The Planning Board voted "on three different motions concerning this petition.. The planning Board voted unanimously to approve the Conditional Use B-2 proposal with conditions. They also voted 3-1 on a second motion to approve lots 7-14 for B-2 Highway $usiness. And finally, the Planning Board voted 3-1 to deny the request to rezone lots 5 and 6 to B-2 "Highway Business. The petitioner agreed to the 12 conditions recommended by staff. The petitioner also agreed to the Planning Board's recommendation to eliminate Hotels/Motels and Resort Hotels/Motels from the permitted use table for the entire Conditional Use aiea.,The planning board also amended the permitted use table for Out-parcels 1 & 2 on College Road to be-more Q restrictive. V STAFF SUMMARY: The subject properties are located adjacent and behind the existing commercial center at Monkey Junction, and have frontage along both South College Road and Carolina Beach Road. The petitioner is requesting a rezoning for this property in order to develop amulti-use development with approximately 444,000 square feet of retail,.restaurant and office space. Qilthough this is a very large sight to rezone for highway business, it is a logical location for a regional commercial node. As this intersection continues to grow "to an even larger center, consideration must be given to the potential traffic impacts of this property and other commercial. , expansions nearby. It is also important to consider the relationship of this commercial expansion- to the surrounding neighborhoods and to the Motts Creek watershed. The proposed development plan will have significant impacts on traffic along both College Road and Carolina Beach Road. The proposed plan indicates three entrances on Carolina Beach Road and two on South College Road. The primary entrance from South College Road is proposed with a traffic signal across from the library. The primary entrance from Carolina Beach road is proposed at the existing signalized entrance at Antoinette Drive. The applicant's traffic analysis report also indicates the addition of several right and left turn lanes on both College Road and Carolina Beach Road. " The proposed development will intercept some traffic from the south going to other retail ' centers further north. Even with the road improvements being proposed to improve access to the site, it is expected that the retail center will generate additional traffic. The applicants traffic analysis indicates that the center will generate approximately 7,400 (14,800 enter/exit) additional primary trips to the site in a 24-hour period. The County MPO thoroughfare plan proposes a future grade separated improvement to the intersection at Monkey Junction. The additional trips ' generated by this development and possible future commercial development to the south and west may hasten the improvement of that intersection. Funds and participation by the major traffic generators would help offset the public cost. Since the property is located in the upper reaches of the Motts Creek watershed, stormwater management is another critical issue. Both water quantity and quality measures above the current required standards should be incorporated into the drainage design. A regional stormwater system would be a better solution. Historically, the county has discouraged continued, commercial expansion north along . College Road. Several recent exceptions were made for the O&I districts south of Greenbriar Subdivision. However, this heavy commercial designation for 800 feet of frontage on South College Road would be a departure from. past efforts to protect those residential developments. . The County's comprehensive plan does recommend locating "regional commercial nodes at ' k major intersections to accommodate uses that serve a regional market." Given the acreage of this property combined with the existing commercial uses already located at Monkey Junction this area will ultimately become the largest commercial center in the southern part of the county. The attached list of uses for the four proposed out-parcels along College Road should help transition .the development into the adjacent institutional uses and nearby residential neighborhoods to the north and east. A better solution to accomplish this transition is to change the orientation of the centi r to provide equal exposure on College and on Carolina Beach road. . .In considering the Conditional Use portion of this application, the internal workings of ' the site plan are critical to the success of the project. Staff has reviewed the site plan and all setbacks and buffers required in the ordinance can be met. In addition to the requirements of the` zoning ordinance staff has several conditions to improve the proposed development; 29 -. 4 30 1) No additional curb cuts on College road should be permitted for the out-parcels. 2) Improve existing service road running between College and Carolina Beach road to collector road status (36' minimum) with added sidewalk. 3) Provide sidewalk along main entrance drive to allow for pedestrian circulation throughout the^development. 4) Internal drive aisles should be-aligned to decrease~traffic conflicts. 5} Lighting should be directed internally.to the project to protect adjacent residential areas.- 6), Landscaping should be provided between the buildings and the drive aisles in • accordance with the City standards for large scale retail developments: ~~ .. 7), Add landscape islands at ends of parking rows including those with handicap spaces. 8) Incorporate the existing Sneeden center into the design as much as possible through orientation and aligning. drive, aisles and entrances to existing uses. ' 9) Several ,clusters of~trees should be preserved in the northeast corner of the site.. 10) :Provide road stubs ~to all parcels included in this rezoning request and to the Weaver property to the west. ~ , 11) The two out- parcels in the northeast.corner should,be limited to O&I uses to provide better transition to the neighborhood. ~~ 12) Large interior parking bays need to provide some drive aisle connections. - .Although the applicant.has attempted to address all of the concerns raised by Staff'in the previous staff summary; the life plan submitted for the conditional use permit only:represents half of the overall square footage ultimately' proposed for the site: Staff recommends that the petition should be approved in phases. The first'phase only'to include those portionsof the site submitted.underthe conditional rise permit. The petitioner should return with a conditional use site plan for the remainder of the property at a later date.` T ., ~: ,. , ~; Case:.Z-697, 03/00 -Special Use Permit for a Conditional Use B-2 High~ti'ay Business Zone Preliminary Staff Findings . 1. The board must find 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. A: The subject property is served byCounty Sewer and Community Water B. The site is located in the Myrtle Grove VFD C. Access to the site is proposed in hvo locations on South College and in four locations on Carolina Beach Road. The applicant's traffic impact analysis proposes the addition of both right and !eft hand turn lanes in several locations and proposes a signalized entrance on South College Road across front - the existing library site. 2. The Board must. find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Zoning ordinance.. A. A site plan has been submitted in accordance with section 59.7-3 of the zoning ordinance. " B. All setbacks and buffer requirements can be met. y C. Based on the County maps no Conservation Resources have been identified. However, some pockets .of 404 wetlands do exist and will need to be inspected by the Army Corps of Engineers. D. Not all of the significant trees have been located on site. Although mach of the site was distetrt~ed by the old softball fields, the County aerial photograph indicates that most of the significant vegetation exists on the eastern parcels of the site. 3. The Board must find that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property or that the. use is a public necessit~•. A. Surrounding land use and zoning is a combination of residential, commercial; and institutional. South of the site at the intersection of South College and Carolina Beach Road is a B 2 Hightivay business district. There is an R-15 residential district abutting the northern property line and the western property line. There is an existing church in-the R-15 zone abutting the northern boundary. B. Across South College Road to the east there is the Greenbrier subdivision to the north, a doctors office directly across, the Myrtle Grove branch of the New Hanover• County Library is south of the . doctors office. Going further south, the office and institutional uses along the east side of College Road give way to a 13-2 Highway business district at the intersection. C. Across Carolina Beach Road from the subject site is a B-2 Highway Business district occupied by several different retail stores. Adjacent to the B-2 district is a R-10 residential district occupied by the Royal Palms mobile home park. 4. The Board must field that the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approves]-will be in harmony with the area in ~vlaich it is to be located acid in - -genera] conformity with the plan of development for New.Hanover Count}'. - ~ , A. ;The County's comprehensive plan recommends locating "regional commercial nodes at major intersections to accommodate uses that serve a regional market." B. A coanmei~cial node in this location would intercept traffic from the south going to.other retail 31 - .centers. fiu-ther north and would also attract some traffic from the northern parts of the County. • ,PEI~MIT7CED USES (For Out-Parcels 1 c& 2) Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing • y Kennels (Pet Grooming) _ Veterinaries - • Transportation, Communication, Utilities Post Offices , .

Here is her reply. -------------••••-•••• Forwarded by William Caster/NHC on 06/02/2000 06:42 PM -•-•-•-•-•---•--•-•-•-•-•-- -,~,, Lwpadgett@aol.com on 06/02/2000 02:45:52 PM ~.. -~ „~.,d . To: bcaster@co.new-hanover.nc.us cc: .Bill.Austin@ci.wilmington.nc.us Subject: Monkey Junction Bill., I talked with Joe Taylor several days ago when I saw him at the Business Awards at UNCW. He said that the Zimmers and Lowe's would definitely be willing to participate in some way in the solution to future traffic problems at Monkey Junction. I recognize they are already doing some with road improvements there. He is very much in favor of traffic impact fees, as long as they are fairly assessed. Then last week I met with Richard Collier. He said basically the same thing. The issue is how to deal with "such fees and how to work out something for them as the current developers. I suggested that there might be an agreement that they would pay their share at the time that any traffic impact fees are in place as if the fees had been in place at the time of their development. Then they would wind up paying their fair share but would not have to come up with any money now and if the fees were not ever instituted, they would not have paid alone. Bill Austin suggested using a Surety Bond that would later (within a set period of time., like maybe 5 years) be contributed to the cost of improvements in the intersection. .That would let them know the .amount izp front. I spoke with Tom Pollard and he will get with Kemp Burpeau to see if such an agreement could be worked out and Richard is going to get with Bill Austin and John Ponder on the matter. It appears that from a cost standpoint and the ability to do something soon, that the Centerturn Overpass design would work the best and be reasonable in cost (about 2 million, we think). That would be a new road design, but John Ponder and other engineers agree it would work. Bill Austin and I are going to meet with our counterparts from Fayetteville in a couple of weeks because they are trying to get the DOT to build one there. Unfortunately I have a family commitment out of town on June 5th that is impossible to change or get out of, so I cannot be there, but Bill Austin will be there to answer questions and perhaps Kemp will be there and aware of the agreement as will the developers. Hopefully, this will get some conversation going about traffic impact fees. The communities that seem to get the most from DOT and the Federal govt seem to bring a piece of money to the table themselves. I agree with Buzz i c._. i - . i ,. . . .... ~ that we have~not received our fair share of the road-building money from the DOT, however, when the Smith Creek Parkway is completed we will have recouped quite a lot of what we're owed due to the complexity of that project. With the way•the DOT is looking at funding for projects, we will have to build some roads that are needed ourselves, as are other parts of the state. At least there is now hopefully some conversation going on about traffic impact fees. Hopefully more later. Please forward this email to your fellow commissioners. Thanks.

The Board must.find that the`use meets all r.egtiii~ed conditions and specifications of the zoning 2. ., ordinance. _, • A. The subject property is zoned R-15 and the`land classification is Conservation. Community.boating,, facilities are permitted by special use ,permit in the R-15 zone. , B. The zoning ordinance requires that the petitioner must demonstrate that the project will have . minimal impacts on water quality, primary nursery areas, shellfish grounds, and conservation resources. ~.-' C. -Off street parking must be provided on site at one space per boat slip, or on nearby residential lots. D, The right to use the facility must be conferred by an easement appurtenant to the residential project~it is intended to serve. E. Co.mmercial'activities, including but not limited to the sale,of gasoline, oil,. marine supplies, and foodstuffs, shall be strictly prohibited. - 2. 'The Board must find that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property or that the use is a.public necessity. ~ r A..'The surrounding land use is residential. The surrounding zoning is R-15:~ B. Other private residential piers are located in the vicinity. However, several of the surrounding - residential lots currently use this ramp. 4. The Board must find "that the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in ,.general conformity with the plan of development for New Hanover County." V , A. New Hanover County land use policies encourage the consolidation of riparian access. ~' B. County policies state that the development of marinas should be allowed as a means of providing .t~; public access provided they do not adversely affect estuarine resources or public trust waters, they . shall not be allowed in primary nursery areas, SA or ORW waters, high ground facilities are ~~ acceptable. C. County policies also encourage additional public boat access facilities, recognizing that adequate, properly sited facilities are essential to the preservation of both the environment and the economy. Staff Comments: 1. -This boat ramp has been in use for several years. Although some deed's may reference specific rights to use the ramp, the public use over the years may have created prescriptive rights for the public use of the ramp. 2. A homeowners association will need to be-created to manage the facility. 6, Case: 5-459, OS/00 ~- Petition ~Surnanary Data ~ .. ' .

Over the past 8 months I along with other residents of Trails End Road met with Dexter Hayes and Kemp Burpeau to explore various options for gaining control of the private deeded boat lamp an Trails End Road because of over crowding by non residents, excessive littering, lack of auvess to Trails End residents, nQn resident speeding and drunken driving. and the need to carve out a fire lane to insure 24 by 7 dny access to the homes and rectailrant adjacent to the boat ramp by emergency -vehicles. . As a result of these discussions, we followed the direcuon of the Cauuty Attorney (Kemp Burpeau) and the County Planner (Dexter Hayes) to form a Boat Ramp Association and apply for a Special Use Permit. Both individuals knew that we would make a best effort to gain majority . participation but we were very clear that 100% participation was out of the question because of the general diversity of residents. We were successful in gaining 95% participation. Neither I~emU nor Dexter advised us that 100% aarticipation was apre-reauisilC. Thus, we invested a significant annount of money to organize, incorporate, register with the New Hanover County Registrar, apply for Special Use and CAA!tA Penrits and hire an Attorney. Why would we have gone through this effort if sue were aware of the 100% Rule? As it turns out, we have heard off th.e record that the l 00 % Rule was created for Traits End only and the County has not required this . in the past. There is no legal basis for this 100°io Rule. We have a major problem at the Private Trails End Boat Ramp. We have tried to engage the County Sheriff, The County Fire Marshall, County Planning, County Attorney, and now the. County Commissioners. At each turn, the County'has told us what they can't do. The Sheriff can't help us to enforce our private property rights liecausc the ramp is private property; The Fire ; Marshal can not enforce afire/emergency lane because the ramp is private property; County Zonins made us remove a gate because it violated a zoning regulation although your Planning " . .Board wondered why we needed a Special Use Permit .to put up a gate on private property; the 5 s MAY-26-2000 14 56 FROM ORAL LOGIC~INC - MINOT~ND TO 4522675 P.02 i ,:~ - , County Attorney created a red a r' to thwart our efforts to legally implement constructive ~ . changes in our Trails End Community that more than satisfies all the criteria for a Special Use ~ . . Permit. Bill, if we could manage the Private Boat Ramp usage, we would but frankly the ramp is frcqucnted by many non. residents who drink heavily, carry weapons, and are unresponsive to our Private Property signs and direct contact. We need io put up a taste and. create an emergency lane. _ " :. We can only enforce the emergency lane if we can limit access to Trails End property owner and Iocal fisherman. We would very much appreciate your help in trying to accomplish this goal. Thank you for your assistance. Under separate cover, t am sending you a copy of our presentation on this subject. .

This land class designation has been created in recognition of the fact that New Hanover 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 (May 4 Meeting) . Several.Greenbriar residents abutting the applicant's property expressed concern about buffering, landscaping, and directional lighting. After assurances from the applicant that adequate screening would be provided, the Planning Board voted 4-Q recomrneriding approval. Staff Summary This conditional use rezoning request and its environs has an active history. In April, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners approved a~conditional use permit to O&I Office and Institution for a bank. The tract is 2.09 acres and is adjacent and south of Myrtle Grove Library; east side of South College Road. Construction of the bank facility is nearly complete. In October, 1999, the Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning request from R-15 Residential to B-2 Highway Business located adjacent and south of the bank extending into an existing commercial district south to Monkey Junction. As a part of the same petition, the applicant withdrew an O&I request that wrapped around the B-2 petition approved by the Commissioners (see site map). This O&I portion was withdrawn before Planning Board consideration due to nearby residential concerns pertaining to drainage, lighting, adequate buffering, and other associated ills. The present request by the applicant is to rezone a 6.12 acre portion of the property that was withdrawn in October to CD (O&I). As noted on the site map, a large commercial node south of the proposal, and surrounding the Monkey Junction area, has evolved over the past 15 years. A variety of services such as retail establishments, professional offices, and restaurants exist around the South College-Carolina Beach Road intersection south of the applicant's property. These services are primarily used by nearby neighborhoods, and a host of other residents from the southern part of the County. These services are also utilized by tourists and others traveling south to Pleasure Island. A conditional use (B-2) rezoning encompassing over 56 acres of real estate with,a Lowe's Warehouse facility as the major tenant is proposed across, the street from of the applicant's site on the west side of South College Road. v `1 Z-701 (cont'd) 2, • Recently, developers and staff have wrestled with how far north and east commercial and professional office development should extend. Since the late 1980's when the first commercial property was created on the east side of South College Road at Monkey Junction, there have been numerous attempts to extend the existing commercial and professional office districts north and east. Many of these attempts have been successfiil resulting in some into residential neighborhoods, most notably the Greenbriar development. The petitioner's request to conditionally rezone property to CD (O&I) appears reasonable considering the rapid change inland use from residential to commercial. Based on the applicant's narrative and site plan proposal, it appears that every effort is being made to minimize impacts to adjoining residential property. Proposed elements incorporated into the site design include adequate setbacks with natural buffering, low directional lighting, and small clustered office facilities to compliment adjacent residential neighborhoods. Given the rapid land use changes that have taken place in the Monkey Junction area along with the proposed conditional use rezoning request on the west side of South College Road, staff recommends approval provided that every effort be made to minimize impacts (noise, light, drainage) to adjoining residential property. ~ 43 SPECIAL USE PERMIT PHASE of CONDITIONAL USE REZONING Z-701, 04/00; Applicant: Jon Vincent for. Gulfstream Properties REQUEST: .CD(0&I) Office and Institution from R-15 Residential TYPE USE: Professional Offices LOCATION: 5300 Block South College Road Preliminary Staff Findings 1. The Board must find 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. A.County sewer and City water will serve the proposed professional office complex. B.The office complex will have direct access from South .College Road (ITC Highway 132). Secondary. access will exist through Junction Creek Drive (Private). C.The office comple:c will be served by •Myrtle Grove VFD. D.According to the County's Zoning District N1ap, this site is not within the 100 year.flood zone. , E. A proposed pond (.75 acre) located on site will capture storm water from poor draining soils (Leon & Seagate). 2. The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and. specifications of the Zoning Ordinance. A. No County conservation or historical resources are located on site. B. Setbacks and buffer yards meet the intent of the Zoning Ordinance. Wooded areas along the site's property boundary will remain natural. C.Approximately 163 parking spaces are proposed on site; 75 spaces are required (Based on General or Professional Offices @1 space per 400 sq. ft.) D. Proposed uses include: Doctor, Aceourltant, Architect, Attorney, and Engineering professional type offices. 3. The Board must find that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining property or that the use is a public necessity. A. Similar professional type office complexes are located near residential neighborhoods throughout New Hanover County. y. 44 ~ Z-701, 04/00 (cont'd} 2, B. Approximately 23 professional office strictures totalling 29,800 square feet are proposed. C. Each professional office structure will average approximately 1,295 square feet and will be constructed in a series of 5 phases. Each construction .phase will take 6 months to 1 year to complete. D. No direct evidence has been presented that this professional office complex will decrease property. values. E: Based on the growing need of services in and around the Monkey Junction area, the -proposed.. .. . professional office complex will fulfill a residential need. 4. The Board must find that the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with.the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the plan of development for Ne~v Hanover County. A. The New Hanover County Land Classification Plan identifies this area as Resource Protection. This land class provides for the preservation and protection of important natural, historic, scenic, wildlife, and recreational resources. Compatiable commercial and industrial development may be located within this class as long as important resources are not advet•sly impacted. B. As stated, the proposed facility will leave the natural wooded buffer running north along the property boundary along with newly planted .vegetation. y C. The land use patterns in and around the Monkey Junction area are becoming commercialized due to the growing need of services from nearby residents and a host of other residents from the southern portion of the County. Staff Concerns/Comments - Every effort should be made to mitigate potential drainage impacts to adjoining. residential property. - To facilitate access to adjoining property, the development and construction of a road stub should be created. • 45 n ./ 46 • rQ '~-' 3° ~~ d~ ~f` s • ~- s o ~ i 4 r 1 F J {This page intentionally left blank} °l JUN-27-00 TUE 0302 PM ,• .-, .

The location of these areas is. based upon land use planning policies requiring optimum efficiency in land utilization and public service delivery. Residential development can exceed 2.5 units per acre. within the Urban Transition area provided the development inadequately designed to be compatible with existing and proposed surrounding land .uses and is served by: adequate infrastructure. ' PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION 5/4/00 The petitioner presented the request. Two neighbors spoke in opposition to the request. One neighbor was concerned about development near a community well site, and the othet• neighbor described in length the potential drainage problems associated with development on this. property. The Planning Board voted 4-2 to approve the rezoning to the depth of the Special Highway Overlay District as recommended by Staff. STAFF SUMMARY: The petitioner is requesting an expansion to an existing O&I Office and institutional district. The expansion would add approximately ;.4 acres to the existing district. With the exception of the O&I zone to the east, the subject property is entirely surrounded by R-15 Residential. There are some conditional use commercial districts to the north and to the south as well as a large B-2 Highway business district across Market Street. Access to the subject property will be provided from Market Street. Although the office and institutional zone is intended to be a transition into neighborhoods, tl~e proposed O&I district extends too far into an established residential area. Staff believes tl~e encroachment should be limited and recommends that only the portion of the property within the SHOD be rezoned O&I tivith the balance of the property to remain R-15 residential. The property is already eligible for hibh densityresidential. 50 D ~~' ~~ ~ Case: Z-704, OS/00 Petition Summary Data Owner/Petitioner: Bernard Morris Existing Land Use: Residential Zoning History: July 6, 1971 (Areas) Water Type' Well Sewer Type: Septic Recreation Area: Ogden Access & Traffic Volume: 41,100 ' Fire District: Ogden VFD Watershed & Water Quality Classification: Pages Creek (SA) Aquifer Recharge Area: Primary Conservation!Historic/Archaeologic Resources: None (Pocosin but no class IV soil) Soils: Leon Building Suitability Class III Severe Liniitations ~ , Schools: Blair `" i ~, 1.

Research and Educational Facility by the Board of County Commissioners~in April, 1991. At that time;'the site plan consisted'of 18,125 cumlative square feet of construction. Specifically, a three winged building (7,500 square feet), an ocean support building{5,625 square feet),~a shellfish-~ sanitation building (2,500 square feet), and meteorology building (2,500 square feet).

In a letter of January 28, 2000, UNCW informed neighbors of the Center that problems had been confil-med in the #2 cooling tower. After initial start-tip, it was determined that the fan was not operating within specifications. Modifications were made in consultation with the manufacturer consisting of fan blade and shroud replacement in addition to analysis and adjustment of-other moving parts to ensure operation at a minimum noise level so as to be in compliance with the County Noise - Ordinance. In a Tetter of Febniary 18, 2000, UNCW informed neighbors of the . impending"visit of a professional acoustical engineering consultant to aid in exploring options for reducing noise levels even further. Again, at the New Hariover County Planning Board meeting on April 16, 2000, UNCW committed to doing everything necessary to reduce what was by that time ari already much lower noise level. This is to provide you with an update on actions we Have taken and an implementation plan, which will further reduce noise levels which was also communicated to the neighbors in writing on May.3, 2000. After an intensive investigation of the situation by acoustical engineers, UNCW contracted with Commonwealth Kinetics of Richmond, Virginia, a nationally recognized vibration and noise control specialist, to design and install anoise-suppression system, which will result in a significant additional reduction in the noise level. Design,. manufacture and installation of the baffling system will require up to 90 days.. Design work began the last week of April; fabrication of the various components will commence about the first of June; and installation will occur from the end of June to the end of July. By August 1, we should have a frilly operational system which the designer guarantees to provide a significant reduction in noise levels through all octave ranges. We appreciate your-understanding during the time it has taken to formulate an acceptable solution o a very complicated technical issue. The university is committed to working to bring satisfactory closure to this matter. • ---------- -_ ---~-- .==-- -.- 61 601 SOUTH COLLEGE ROAD • WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28403-3297 ~~~ ._.__.

The vote by the Board was unanimous. The matter will be heard by the Wilmington City Council Jurie 6th. The wording recommended by the Planning Board and City Planning Commission is as follows: Policy 4:10 (additional language in bold) Not allowing new dredging activities in Primary Nursery Areas (PNA), Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), or Shellfishing Waters {SA), except for the purpose of scientific research, designed for the purpose of protecting and enhancing water quality, and where supported by sound scientific 'and technical knowledge.

CONSISTENCY OPINION; ~ ` The W_I_minpton- New Hanover 1997 Land Use Plan does not allow new dredging in ORW or SA waters excep# under specific exceptions. One exception allows dredging if the project is expected to protect or enhance water quality based on scientific and technical knowledge. Officials of New Hanover County believe this project is consistent with their a exception based on the scientific information in the Environmenta(Assessment reports bmitted oIn this project. This project will be consistent with the land use p-an if the information asserting water quality improvements is deemed to be sound scientific and technical knowledge. It is recommended that the Division of Water Quality be consulted in this decision. The project must also meet all local, state, and federal requirements, and follow all permit conditions. • 69. ~ ~~~' ~~L ~1 0 NE~V HANOVER COUNTY • -MEMO April 20, 2000 TO: Board of Commissioners FROM: Dave Weaver, Assistant County Manager ~ y RE: Masons Inlet Relocation Project This memo outlines the need for the County to amend the County-City Comprehensive CAMA Land-Use Plan in order to proceed with the Masons Inlet Relocation Project. In order to receive permits to perform the Masons Inlet Relocation Project, the Project has to be judged by the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) to be consistent with the County-City Comprehensive LAMA Land-Use Plari. As detailed in the attached letter, DCM has found the Project to be consistent, subject to the condition that it "protect or enhance water quality based on scientific and technical knowledge," and that the Division of Water Quality be consulted in this decision." Although the Project has been shown by scientific, technical modeling to greatly improve flushing of estuarine waters, we have not done scientific, technical modeling to show that tivater quality will be improved as a result of the increased flushing. The water quality modeling was not done because it could be very expensive and time consuming, and open the County up to additional requests for information. Consequently, although common sense states that water quality will be improved, we are not taking the stance that we are scientifically and technically improving water quality. In addition, the attached DCM letter has stated that the Division of Water Quality (DCQ) should be consulted as to ~vh'ether or not there is scientific and technical knowledge that water quality will be improved. DWQ -Wetlands Division has not been supportive of our Project. 65 INTER-OFFICE Board of Commissioners Page Number Two April 20, .2000 We recommend, therefore, that an exception similar to that stated below, be added to Policy 4.10: 4.10 Not allow new dredging activities in Primary .Nursery Areas (PNA), OutstandingResourceblaters (ORW}, or Shellfishing Waters (SA}, except for the purpose of scientific research, designed for the purpose of protecting and enhancing water quality, -and where supported by sound scientific and technical knowledge. Limited exceptions may be allowed for. the urban waterfront and Wilmington's ports, consistent with the goals and objectives of the Cape Fear River Corridor Plan (1997) and the Downtotivn 2020 Plan (1998) and for the Masons Inlet Relocation Project. This or a similar proposed change may avoid permitting delays and potential lawsuits. This proposed change will be advertised soon and taken to both the County and City Planning Boards before. it will be brought to you- and the City Council, with the intent of submitting:it to the Coastal Resources Commission in July.

Management of the areas maybe required for a number of reasons including natural, cultural, recreational, productive or scenic values: In order to promote the highest and best use while preventing a negative impact on water quality, site specific flexibility and creativity is desirable. Generally, estuarine areas of environmental concern (AFC's) as defined by the State of North Carolina and adjacent lands within the 100-year flood plain have been classified as conservation. Conservation areas should be preserved in their natural state. Exceptions to this standard are limited to water dependent uses, shared industrial .access corridors, and those exceptional development proposals which are sensitively designed so as to effectively preserve the natural. functions of the site. Water dependent uses may include:....navigationa( aides, dredging, pilings, simple access channels (etc:). RELATED POL:1ClES AND 1NIPLEMENTATION MEASURES: (~ Natural Resource Constraints ~_J 6 ~ 3.4 Ensure the protection of coastal and federally regulated wet{ands that have important functional significance through early identification in the development process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CONCERNING HOUSE NUMBER ASSIGNHF,NTS Question: Why should I change my address; I have had this one for years and have not encountered .difficulties with it? 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 on a comprehensive grid system. Under this system, house numbers 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: Why 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 and 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 quickly 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 provide flexibility iri house number assignments. In the event an extra structure. is added to a lot, or a lot is subdivided, then additional numbers are available for assignment. Without this flexibility, it is likely previously assigned numbers would have to be changed again. Obviously, that would be unduly 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? Ans4rer: Typically, four to five weeks is allotted. However, if more time.. is needed, the post office will work with the addressee. Question: Once the new assignments have been made, will the County change it again in the future? Answer: The implementation of the County's grid numbering system ~~rill eliminate the need for changes that have occurred in the past when new. 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 required for the home and/or mailbox? Answer: It shall be the duty of the owner or tenant of any dwelling to properly display the assigned number on the dwelling and mail-box, if detached, so that it may be plainly seen from the road or access easement. Numbers should minimum of three inches in size. .~ ~,~ {This page intentionally left blank} ') ,t ;~ . . ~< NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS '~.
