The vote by the Board was unanimous. The matter will be heard by the Wilmington City Council June 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. 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 (`97) and the Downtown 2020 Plan (`98) and for the New Hanover.

Hanover County permit application, the Field Investigation Report (EF Brooks, December 20, 1999), and my understanding and :interpretation of the policies presented in .the Wilmington-New Hanover County 1997Land Use Plan. ~ ,, The applicant proposes to locate.

The location and complete description of the project are in the Field Investigation Report. } . . L~4ND USE CLASSIFICATION: Conservation (Estuarine and Public Trust Waters, Ocean Hazard Areas, and Coastal Wetlands) CLASSlF1CATION DESCRIPTION Conservation The purpose of the Conservation class.is to provide for effective long-term management and protection.of significant, (imited or irreplaceable natural. resources while also protecting the rights or the ,property owner. Management of the areas maybe required for a number of reasons including natural, cultural, recreational, productive orsceriic values. In order to promote the highest and best use while preventing a negative impact on wafer 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.. Natural Resource Constraints 3.4 Ensure the protection of coastal and federally regulated wetlands that have important functional significance through early identification in the development process. Review of development proposals should seek to ,achieve the hierarchical goals of avoidance, .minirriizatio,n, :and/or compensation. 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:....navigational aides, dredging, pilings, simple access channels (etc.). 12 RELATED POLICIES AND IAt1PLEIVIENTATION 141EASURE5: .~ . ,. _ - • .~ _ • ,. 3.5~, Ailow channel maintenance projects only where, the public trust interest is preserved or <. enhanced; significant, economic or recreational benefits will occur for planning area residers#s; and . ` no significant adverse impacts will occur on shoreline dynamics.

Urban services are already in place or scheduled within the immediate future. Most of the land within the City of Wilmington is designated as developed,,except for some Urban Transition and Conservation areas. Density may exceed 2.5 units per acre within the developed class, depending upon local zoning regulations. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION .6/1/00: • The petitioner explained that although he had no immediate plans to redevelop the site, his request vas for a minimal increase in density for the property. One adjacent property owner expressed a concern about drainage impacts. T.he Planning Board voted 5-1 to recommend • approval of the request for R-10. t • • STAFF SUMMARY: ~ ~ ~ ~ ` . The petitioner is requesting a rezoning from R-15 residential to R-10 residential. Currently the subject property is occupied by several small single family residential homes used as rental property.. Access to these existing homes is from Hinton Avenue and White Avenue. All of the property along the west side of Greenville Avenue is zoned R-15 Residential. Across Greenville Avenue there is an R-10 district to the east and a newly rezoned R-10 district to the west. Directly across Greenville Avenue is Wrightsville Green, which is ahigh-density project. This high-density project was developed prior to the current regulations for. this area. Property along Hinton Avenue, with.the exception of a Conditional Use Qffice and Institutional District at the corner of Park and Hinton, is zoned R-15 residential. Some of the existing single family homes along Hinton Avenue to the south and along White Avenue to the east are on larger loth. Moving east along Greenville Avenue one encounters numerous homes on smaller lots near the street's edge. Increasing density along the Greenville Avenue frontage would be consistent with the development pattern. Land Use Policies would allow the additional 3 units permitted under the R-10 zoning. Therefore, Staff Recommends Approval. ri ot~i'~iA ' _ L~~l ~~1~1~~ ~~ 16 ~1>~ . ._ ~. ~ _ .~. _ _.._K c {This page intentionally left~blank} ~~ CASE: ~ Z-707, 06/00; APPLICANT:.

The neighbors primary concern if this was approved, was the potential creeping of commercial zoning into their neighborhood. The Planning Board voted 4-1 to recommend' denial of the request. STAFF SUMMARY: The petitioner is requesting a rezoning from R-15 residential to Conditional Use Office , and Institutional. The petitioner is interested in converting an existing 2,000 square foot single family home into 6 professions} offices. Although no additional parking is shown, the site is large enough to accommodate a 5 car parking area as required by the County Zoning Ordinance. Although the property is surrounded by R-15 residential zoning, some of the surrounding land uses are institutional. To the -north there is a Church at the intersection of College and Waltmoor Road, adjacent and north of the site is the New Horizons Elementary School. Adjacent . and south of the property is an existing single family home which is adjacent to a vacant lot. Directly across College Road there is a Wholesale Nursery. Inside the City limits across College to the north at the intersection of 17`'' Street Extension is'a commercial tract.~Further south. across College Road is a new school complex at Cape Fear Academy. Although the petitioner's request seems Iogical, it is important to note that schools, churches, and wholesale nurseries are permitted uses in residential zones. The only commercial zone nearby is within the city limits and is located at a major intersection. County land use policies have consistently discouraged the stripping out of commercial development along this corridor. Rezoning this property would represent a spot zoning which is contrary to sound planning principles. It could also lead to additional requests for commercial zoning along a '' ~;, p're~doiinan µly~,re~sldential section of South College Road. Therefore, staff recommends denial. ~~lfiC~d~ 1 ,~~~11~~~~! ~,t~, .. . ,. k - -. - i - - ~ Case: Z-707; 06/00~ -Special Use Permit for Professional Offices in a Conditional Use O&I Zone . • . , Preliminary Staff Findings r ~ ~ ~ ' 1:-..

The petitioner presented the proposed site plan: Several. neighbors presented concerns.about drainage, light pollution, noise pollution, and decreased property values. Their primary concern was the proposed auto service. The Planning Board voted 3-2 to recommend denial. ~ ~ STAFF SUMMARY: .. The subject property was zoned O&I office and Institutional in September 1996. The petitioner is requesting a change from that request to CD(B-2) Conditional Use Highway Business. As shown on the attached site map there have been several zoning cases along this narrow corridor between Lobos Lane and Carolina Beach Road including the adjacent property to the north which was rezoned from O&I to CD(B-2) in April 2000. The property to the south, and to the west, as well as the property across Carolina Beach Road is R-15 residential. The reason many different cases along this corridor is a reflection of the growing expansion from .the. developed commercial core at Monkey Junction. This existing O&I district acts as a terminus •and transition for that commercial development and provides some protection for the existing neighborhoods around the property, and across.the;street. , , In March the Planning Board voted unanimously to approve the adjacent CD(B-2) request for the property to the north. The recommendation came as a result of the_petitioner, who wanted to do a mixed use type project, agreeing to restrict the uses to those permitted in the B-1 and the O&I districts. The petitioner in this case has not specified any uses for this project. Staff continues to believe that in order for this O&I district to function as an effective transition from commercial to residential, the change to CD(B-2) Highway Business should be denied. ~t~ ~~~»` fir; ~.`~ r ~;~ `~ f~y~ ~,~~~a~~~t ~`, i'' ~. 24 _ ~. :~ Case: Z-705,'06/00 Special Use Permit for a Conditional Use B-2 Zoning District - Preliminary Staff Findings 1. , The board must find that ahe use will not materially endanger the pubfic health or safety if located'where~proposed and developed-according to the plan as submitted and approved. .

ACREAGE: 0.45 Acres LOCATION: Intersection of North Kerr and Gordon Road LAND CLASS: Developed -The purpose of the Developed class is to provide for continued intensive development and redevelopment of existing urban areas. Urban services are already in place or scheduled within the immediate future. Most of the land within the ' . City of Wilmington is designated as developed, except for some, Urban Transition and Conservation areas. Density may exceed 2.5 units per acre within the developed class, depending upon local zoning regulations. ' PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION 6/1/00: A representative for the petitioner presented the proposed expansion to the existing CD(A-I) district. Nobody spoke in opposition to the request. The Planning -Board unanimously ' recommends` approval based on the following three conditions. 1) The existing 20' buffer remain undisturbed, 2) The proposed addition must meet the required setbacks of the zoning ordinance unless a variance is granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment, 3) if a variance is approved by the Zoning •Board of Adjustment; the.addition may not exceed 1,797 s.f., which is the area. proposed on the submitted site plan. Other conditions would remain in place. ~ - STAFF SUMMARY: The existing CD(A-I) District was established in April 1991 to permit a small woodworking shop specializing in outdoor playground equipment. There were three conditions of approval for the original conditional use zone, which should continue to be in effect if this request is approved. The woodworking business only operated for a short time. Between 1991 and 1998 the building fell into a state, of decay and disrepair. In order to operate an office for a communications contractor, the petitioner revised the conditional use permit in 1998. Since the business has been successful, the petitioner is requesting an amendment to the approved conditional use site plan to add 1,797 square feet to the existing building. Although it appears that additional parking is necessary, the petitioner only needs to add one parking space to be in compliance with the minimum parking standards established by the Zoning Ordinance. In order to meet the setback and buffer requirements of the County Zoning Ordinance the petitioner will also need to _ reduce the size of the proposed addition or get a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. In considering this request it is important to note that, the existing building was initially authorized by a special use permit for a convenience food store in June 1976. That business as well as the woodworking business ultimately failed. Staff's lingering concern, which was noted in the 1991 rezoning and again in the 1998 revision, is to assure that the rezoning does not lead to further erosion of the AR District on this side of North Kerr: There is a large enclave of residential uses to the south and east of the subject property. To the south is a series of single family lots fronting North Kerr. To the east is a large mobile home subdivision known as Glynwood. In the previous rezoning, the Planning Board noted that the existing non-residential structure and its proximity to North Kerr and the Wilmington International Airport made redevelopment for residential ~~,~,~„w,.,,purposes unlikely,.~It was also determined that being able to control the range of uses and implementing Oki%~~ria'eas es to'mrtigate impacts adequately protected nearby residential uses. Protection is crucial, because ' too'~m ch~expari'sion could lead to a quick deterioration of the housing stock. However, given the history of the?.unsuccessful commercial activity on this site it is also important to retain this us'e. Staff recommends approval of a smaller addition which can meet the setback requirements and with the same conditions from the previous rezonings; 1) outside storage except for the display of products be screened from view, 2) signs not affixed to the building be limited ground signs, 3) bufferyards be established per 3 O section 67 of the zoning ordinance and 4) lighting should be ground level and limited. - ~` J I( I ( I a Ii I I~ z ~ ~ I~ i ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~' ° a ~ I i I ~ ~~ ._~, a I ~ I ~~ ~ I I I ~ ~ II ~ ~~ I I . ~y a n I I ,~ ~ ~ ~ II I ~ ~ ~~ ~~: ~ oa b i I y _ ~ a ~ I ~ I I i ~_ I i ~ I ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ „3~ o~ a ~ I w ~ YxZ ~d k.R ~ I ~I~~~o~~~ s c~ ~~ ~~~ I I Q I t.y ~ ~ a ~1 °~ :d I ~~ ~ ~~ g~ ~ I w I ..i ~ I I I ~~RppN Rp.

The NHCO Planning Department has been concerned and involved with ntunerous problems that have existed and plagued the Seabreeze Community for many years, as evidenced by the aforementioned Seabreeze sfiidy. Since that study the.area has continued to deteriorate, dwindle, and decay.The community has served as a dumping ground for outsiders onto many properties owned by uninvolved, absentees. One sign of a dying community is the lack of children, which is evidencedby the very few seen standing at the school bus stops. The study identified and categorized 4 major issues and concerns, including housing conditions and waterfront development. On a positive vein for the community, a recent major clean up and revival effort has been initiated and undertaken by the Seabreeze Coinmtulity Association. This corrunittee was formerly known as the Seabreeze Revitalization Committee, formed as a result of the Planning Department's decision to ~~ develop a plan for the area, and to enhance the community's image. Notable results of this unified effort is apparent and has been inspirational and encotuaging to the community. The Turtle Beach subdivision encompasses approximately 7 acres and is located between Scout Camp Hatila Road and Myrtle Grove Sound. The zoning density regturement allows for . up to 2.5 units per acre of either. single or duplex tulits. However, in keeping with the current concerns of New Hanover County, lot sizes have. been vohultarily increased for lower density, to enhance privacy and to preserve as much green space as possible: The... community and pier is intended to . help improve and stabilize the Seabreeze area and enhance the economic development and increase the property values. To accommodate this, condemned buildings will be replaced by well constricted aesthetically appealing homes and pier facilities.

Currently there are 24 lots/homeowners .but only 14 boat slips. The proposed addition would add 10 slips for a total of 24. Expansion of the docking system from 10 to a total of_26-slips .was previously authorized by CAMA Permit Number 147-91. Only 4 of the additional slips were constructed at that time given .the current total of 14 slips. The existing and proposed slips are 21 feet long. Boats will be limited to 21 feet in length. Only boats without heads will be allowed. There will be a total of 12 floating fingers 4 feet wide by 21 feet long (7 existing plus 5 new). The main floating dock will be expanded from 6 feet wide by 193 feet long to 6 feet wide by 331 feet long. The number mooring pilings will be increased from 8 to 13. The existing floating dock system will be extended north by approximately 83 feet (6 slips) and south by approximately 55 feet (4 slips). This arrangement will not encroach on the property line corridor on either side. The average water-depth under the system is 4 feet at MLW. No dredging will be required for construction or~ maintenance. The system is approximately 500 feet from the edge of the AIWW at the closest point. The floating system is accessed by a ramp and fixed pier which extends approximately 16OO~feet across open water and marsh areas to the MHW. The corridor occupied by the docking system .is part of the common area of John's Creek Subdivision that is owned by the John's Creek Homeowners Association. ~~~~~~` RICHARD P.

LOCATION: Across from Middle Sound Loop Road at 7135 - 715 Market Street LAND CLASS: Developed -The purpose of the Developed class is to provide for continued intensive development and redevelopment of existiaig urban areas. These areas are already developed at a density approaching 1,500 dwelling units per square mile. Urban see-vices are already in place or scheduled within the immediate future. Most of the land within the City of Wilmington is designated as developed, except for some Urban Transstian and Conservation areas. Density may exceed 2.5 units per acre within the developed class, depending upon local zoning regulations. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION 6/1/00: The applicant's representative presented the rezoning petition~and explained that the, request had been amended per the recommendations of the Planning Board during their May 4, 2000 meeting and per staff comments. The petitioner has provided a 50 foot wide Right-of--way dedication along the northern property line. Several neighbors from the Middle Sound community presented a variety of concerns about tlae proposed right-of--way dedication. and the rezoning. The Planning Board voted 3-1 to recommend approval,of the B-2 and the CD(B-2) proposal as amended with the following conditions. 1.) The right-of--way improvements must.be made in conjunction with the first development on the property. 2) The Planning Board also requests that the developers of,the property and DOT.make their best efforts to save and protect as many of the Large Trees as possible. . STAFF SUMMARY The petitioner is requesting a B-2 Highway Business Rezoning. The subject property is currently zoned R-15 Residential and B-2 Highway Business. The residential portion of the site is occupied by a mobile home park and the commercial portion has several different commercial , businesses. The surrounding zoning is a variety of residential and commercial. The adjacent parcel to the~south occupied by the Ogden Baptist church is zoned R-15. The adjacent Planters Walk , subdivision to the west is zoned R-10 residential and the remainder of the surrounding zoning is B-2 Highway Business. The B-2 parcel directly to the north is occupied by Jones Seafood.and the large B-2 parcel to the west directly adjacent to the Coastal Carolina Subdivision is currently vacant. The most important factor affecting the rezoning of this site is traffic. The intersection of Market Street and Middle Sound Loop Road has one of the highest traffic counts in the county. It is critical for a road connection to be made through this property to provide better and safer access to Market Street from the residential subdivisions to the northwest. Several thousand ~, ~ ~-,homes wilheventually be seeking access onto Market Street. A signalized intersection at this ~°""~ t 3"~'locat~on woulid~also alleviate some of the congestion in the Ogderi"area since traffic would have ~ +{ (frf~f~an'~1~1l1 . ~ ° ~•,: an alternate route to the north central part of the county. In order to ensure this critical road connect` on~~Staff recommends that the petitioner submit a Conditional Use rezoning petition or the petito Abe delayed until aright-of--way dedication can be completed through a 5 ~ subdiv~sion~application. A collector street connection providing interior access should increase tlae propei-trty'`value. Pamela Tobin Kersting 7509 Elkmont Court ~ _ ~ .,` Wilmington, NC 28411 June 7, 2000 Mr. William A. Caster 310 Brookshire Lane Wilmington, NC 28409 Re: Case Z-703, 05100 Applicant: Mr. & Mrs. Herman Hall Request: R-15 Residential & B-2 Highway Business to B-2 Highway Business Location: 7135-7155 Market Street (across from Middle Sound Loop Road) Dear Mr. Caster, I am a resident of the Ogden area, a landscape architect, and a mother of two young children. I am writing you to ask yo,u to oppose the proposed rezoning that includes a Conditional Use easement fora 50-foot road right-of-way that would extend Middle Sound Loop Road west of Market Street.. My reasons are (' numerous, however,~l will try to be concise: `'~--~' 1. First of all, Ogden still has a small village-like sense of place. What gives it its sense of identity are its small structures which are close to the street and its very large oak trees. if you take these away, Ogden will become like any other part of town (i.e. South College, Oleander, Market Street from Military Cutoff to S. College). ~We feel.-that our sense of place is threatened and we wish to preserve it! 2. •If a {arge collector road which would extend from Market Street to Murrayville Road were allowed to go in at that intersection and if the adjacent Hall property were rezoned to B-2 Highway Business, Ogden would completely lose its sense of identity. 3. The planning board made a deal with,the Halls - on May 4.at their meeting they said that if the Hall's .would give them a road easement, they would give them a blanket B-2 zoning for the property. At that time,- the Planning Board asked-the Requester who would buy the property and. what. it would become. The Real Estate Agent who attended the meeting on behalf of the Halls did not mention that he even had a buyer. However, Mr. Hall himself told me they have the. property under contract for $4,000;000 o a developer out_of Atlanta. 1 have spoken with several developers here who told me that the only thing that could be successful with that high a price tag would be a very 60 , high density development such as a shopping center. That means thafithe ... - - ` ' Middle Sound Loop & Market Street intersection would. become a very large intersectiortwith a very large shopping center and a sea of asphalt on the - -., `:Half property. _ ~ ~: .._ ~ ~ _ ~. - .:..-4. For the'Rlanning Board meeting on June 2 the Hall request was added to the -; _ ., ~,.:. agenda in the eleventh hour.. As of-Thursday, May25;: it was not:on'the"- :~, agenda..Therefore, the planning department did not allow the citizens of ~ ~ =~ .. -Ogden to prepare .adequately to fight this rezoning request. Also, at the June ;~2 meeting, tuvo members of the Planning Board - Rodney Harris and- Ken Dull . .. ' ~ ~. '.. abstained from voting on the issue.- ~ :: .. ` `5: Lastly, and perhaps most importantly,°the Hall prope,rty'consists of. nine - , ,. ,,, - ~ , ~ .' ` :acres,,-most of which is zoned R-15. Gt also is the site of a'very large live oak ~ - ~' grove and a mature urban forest. There are many trees with`a 3'+: QBH .arid _ ,~ Mary. Ann Metcalf, the New Hanover Gounty Urban Forester, estimates'the ~ ~~ il ° -. age of the live oaks at over 200 year`s: The county and city it seems -takes - - . greaf pains to preserve 20:0 year old buildings down fiowri, but doesn't give.a `~ ` ~ 'second thought to,preserving our 200. year live oaks. They.are irreplaceable! - . ~ 6. Finally, if you haveever driven along the south bound- lanes of Market.Street . . _ .. '~ in Ogden after a`rain,. yourwould know that~that lane of traffic floods every - 'time: Not only does:~the street flood, but all of the land to the west of -that ~" ' traffic iane floods substantially. Also,~the :Planters Walk and West Bay A. Estates. subdivisions, which were buiit~over wetland soils also flood consistently. The?drainage ditches do not work because the land~.,is too flat ' .` .' and they consistently. flood every time it rains. 1 know this'because,:l under- . .

' ' ' . ~ ' . ,nine acre im ervious sho p , Aping center at this intersection, would be `~ ..: ~ , disasterous drainage wise.. ` . ,. , - ~ :, ,_ - ., - - ;~ . The .people of Ogden want our sense ofplace and our. large live oaks.to be` : -. ` - ~- preserved. ~ We deserve to be heard. We don't want .our identity threatened by a _ . . `~ ~~ `-- `~ super large intersection (look whaf has become. of the Gordon Road/ Market ' . - .' ~: '~ Streef intersection -.it looks just like the S. College/ Oleander intersection now). - ; - ' Nor'do we want. free-for-all strip developmentl We aye not denying the need for _ ~ ~- ` ~ . a collector road; but not at the. expense of Ogden's sense of place. A~ better ~- ~ . - ,alternative for the collector would be Torchwood Boulevard which is existing ,two - blocks north of Middle~Sound Road: It intersects at an existing traffic light with ,, ~:. ~ Market~Street aril Bayshore and there are no live oaks to remove and no sense ~ . ' ~ . ~ ofidentity will be .lostl Also, the nine acre Halt site could be better developed into . ' ' a;wonderful (O&l CD) village core for Ogden with small scale structures and. . decentralized parking under. those live oaks. Thank -you so much for your - . - ~ attention to,this matter.

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 is adequately designed to be compatible with existing and proposed surrounding land uses and is served by adequate public facilities. . PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: (4/6/00) Several adjacent property owners were present. One neighborhood representative presented concerns about the potential impacts of this rezoning on adjacent property owners. The petitioner agreed to change the AI Airport Industrial portion of the request to B-I neighborhood business. Agreeing with the concerns about commercial intrusion into the neighborhood, the Planning Board unanimously voted to approve the Staff recommendation to only rezone the western portion of the property B-1 neighborhood business to the same depth as the adjacent B;1 district to the north. The rest of the property should remain AR Airport Residential. STAFF SUMMARY: The,petitioner is requesting a rezoning from AR Airport Residential to B-2 Highway Business and AI Airport Industrial. The subject site is located south of several lots fronting on North Kerr Avenue and is currently being used to board horses. Access to the site is from Castle Hayne -Road. There are several differerit zoning districts in the vicinity. Adjacent and north of the property there is a B-1 neighborhood business district to a depth of 750 feet from Castle Hayne Road. The B-1 district is comprised of a gas station, Wrightsboro Fire Department, Dry Cleaners, and a couple of Auto repair shops which all have access'from North Kerr Avenue. Adjacent and south of the property is AR Airport Residential and to the back and south of the property is AI Airport Industrial which is part of the Corbett Farming Company. Across Castle Hayne Road to the.west of the property is a shopping Center District and a B-2 Highway Business district. Over the years this intersection has developed into a commercial center for the Wrightsboro community. Although the potential for a residential development on this property is limited by the one '"~'d `'acre.~m~irimum` lot'area required for the AR zone the petitioners request for commercial and Industrial~zonng~i~swtoo large and intrusive. As previously stated the access to this site is from Castle~Hayrie~Road~Given the large volume of traffic at the intersection of North,Kerr and Castle Hayn~Road~s~taTffris~concerned about the additional traffic that would be created if this whole propertycornmereally developed. The remaining residential properties in the area are well established andlwould also be adversely impacted by this rezoning request.

PLANK ING BOARD RECOMMENDATION 6/1/,00: At tha June 1, 2000 Planning Board Meeting, the petitioner presented a two part zoning request. Th'e petiti ~ner asked for a strait B-2 rezoning on the front portion of all of the parcels fronting on Carolina Beach Road between the rivo existing B-2 zones. In-addition the petitioner presented a Conditional Use site pian for a few of the parcels that are centrally located. No one spoke in opposition. The Plann}ng Board voted unanimously to approve the Conditional Use B-2 portion of the proposal with conditions. The Planning Board also voted unanimously to deny the request to rezone the remainin; parcels to the north ~.nd to the south to B-2 highway business. The Planning Board's recommendation to approve the CD(B-2) portion of the petition was based on the following conditiohs.in addition to the requirements of the zoning ordinance. I) Provide a 20' buffer yard-to the rear or western portion of the property. 2) Fencing around the storage buildings will be estate type fencing with brick columns. 3) Lighting for the facility will be unobtnisive down lighting. 4) The Uses for the front two buildings (labeled 16,000 s.f. and 8,800 s.f. office) are limited to the attached list of uses as presented. STAFF SUi` ZMARY: The :petitioner is requesting to rezone portions of several different parcels along the west side of Carol~na $each Road just north of Monkey Junction. The proposed zone is a change from R-10 & R-15 residential to. B-2 Highway Business. The site has approximately 1600' of road frontage alon, Carolina Beach Road. The depth of the rezoning request varies from 300' on the southern most parcels to a depth of 645' on the northern most parcels. The total area of the request is approximately 20.5 acres. -The st:rrouriding land uses are primarily residential with some commercial further north and some com:nercia] adjacent and south. The B-2 commercial strip to the south of the subject property is occ spied by several different retail operations. The B-2 highway business zone to the north of the sul: ject property was rezoned B-2 in 1993 as a conveience center at Silver Lake Road It -s prim irily occupied by uses that do not necessari]y need highway business zoning. ~~Sirice theo--'rigor i.l~<rezoning in 1993, this B-2 zone to the north has been expanded three times the most receiit~`exp~ nson being October 1999. The current B-2 zone to the north covers both the east and west side of~~arolina Beach Road. Ultimately this B-2 district may provide valuable services to the#adjaceht4c~bmmunities on either side of Carolina Beach Road. 70 ~ . ~ ~l~t~ Ax°~~ ', ~, Case: Z-696, 03/00 -Special Use Permit for Storage & Office Space in a CD{B-2) Zone Prelimina Staff Findings b " 1.

Atkinson ~~ RE: Coastal Horizons Center Alpine Tower r For a number of years, Coastal Horizons Center has operated a "ropes course" on the County's land off Blue Clay Road.. The facility was.built with a State grant. After Hurricane Fran damaged it, FEMA paid to have it .rebuilt. Once again, the ` alpine tower is in the wrong place at the wrong time.,.. .. f~ The new jail /sheriff's administrative facility is being built on the Blue Clay Road property, and the access road must go within a few feet of the alpine tower.. It is not possible to operate the tower with it that close to the road. I met, last week, with Margaret Stargel) and Shawn Johnson of Coastal Horizons to gather information about the impact of this situation on their operations now and in the future. They provided me with information showing that the cost to relocate the tower will be $35,320. Coastal Horizons does not have the funds to pay for this relocation. They respectfully ask that the County pay for this relocation as part of the Jail /S'heriff's Administration cdpital project cost. If this is not acceptable to the Board, an alternative could be for the County to enter into an agreement to fund the cost, and allow Coastal Horizons to pay the County back over a number of years. The long term plan for the course is to work with our Parks. Department and ..~, , F , ... , ;; ; ~develo'p`'a'unque'~kind of park that has the ropes course a biking trail and other activities~,la~~e.~h~is on the remaining land-around the new. jail complex. ~a ~l~tl+t~t~'..'~! .

In 1996, Outdoor Adventure RaprCrisisCenter Hurricane Fran caused extensive damage to the high ropes course located near the corner (910)392-G936 1-soo-b7z-z9o3 of Blue C1ay;Road and Juvenile Center Drive. As a result of the damage, a large area (91o)39z-o52eFax was cleared for timber and arrangements were made to construct an Alpine Tower on or near the original site. An agreement was reached between New Hanover County Parks and Recreation and Coastal Horizons Adventure Programs to build the tower at the end of Juvenile Center Drive. izI h9a.rketStreet Utilizing monies from FEMA, a universally accessible version of the Alpine Tower was 3rd h (oo~• 6vivrtingtan, iJrzB:soi purchased from Alpine Towers International, Inc. In the fall of 1997, the Alpine Tower outpatientTreatmant was constructed and opened for participants in October.

With the Pavt Impact Pragrarn (910)7b2-5333 recent foots on peaceable schools initiatives, Coastal Horizons Adventure Programs has (910)31-si67Fax been working intensively with the peer mediation program in Pender County Schools. In the fall of 1999, it was learned that the New Hanover County Sheriff's Department, was looking at the site adjacent to the Alpine Tower as a location for the new jail. Coastal Horizons Adventure Programs were notified by Max Maxwell of the New Hanover County engineer's office in late May of 2000 that the Alpine Tower must be relocated by August 1, 2000. Subsequent research by Coastal Horizons Adventure Programs staff revealed that the tower could not be moved intact due to the power lines that run adjacent to the Juvenile Detention Center and would have to be disassembled and moved in pieces. This process is substantially more expensive and labor intensive n than originally planned.

Blanchard Contact: Wyatt E. Blanchard SUBJECT: Letter of Intent to Participate with the Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority BRIEF SUMMARY: The Lower Cape, Fear Water and Sewer Authority (LCFW&SA) had their engineer prepare an engineering study providing information on the methods of supplying potable water to the U.S. 421 north corridor. The most feasible method is the construction of a surface water treatment plant. , This water source would replace the well system which is presently be operated by the County for the Flemington community in that area. We had three (3) wells and are now down to two (2) wells due to iron bacteria. These two wells are deteriorating and may have to be replaced soon. The next phase in this process is to prepare sufficient plans and specifications to be able to make application for available grant money. According to Kurt Taube, there are sufficient funds available to finance the project and he feels he has a good chance of acquiring the funds. The key is that everything must be prepared and submitted by September 30, 2000 to be eligible for any funds. The attached letter of intent provides the LCFW&SA with assurance that the County is on board with the Authority in developing a new potable water source. By approving and executing this letter, the County is not committing any funds at this time. The intent is for the project to be totally supported by grant money and user fees. I • ~.

NUMBER: U-00926 COUNTY: New Hanover SUBJECT: Parcel 909 -New Hanover County Mr. Andrew Atkinson Deputy County Manager New Hanover County 320 Chestnut Street Suite 502 Wilmington, North Carolina 28401 Dear Mr. Atkinson: David McCoy SECRETARY • Enclosed is a revised offer letter. The Department has revised it plans so that all of the property previously remaining south of the project (23.75 acres) is now in the new right of way. The 23.75 acres will either restored to wetlands or preserved as wetlands/natural area. In addition, there are two other minor changed. (1) the total right of way area was reduced by 0.02 acre due to the straightening of a curved right of way line (2) a temporary drainage easement (1196 square feet) has been added on the north side of the project. The area remaining for the county on the north side of the project will be approximately 39 acres. The offer is $570,813.00, which is the same offer for the right of way and 23.75 acres as before. The two minor changes mentioned above are deemed to have no significant effect on the appraisal and offer. I have enclosed a Deed which covers the right of way needed from the County. Please proceed with the execution of the Deed. A copy of the minutes where the transfer was approved should be attached to the executed- Deed. Hopefully, our title attorney, Mr. Doug Fox will be able to provide us with a title certificate soon. He indicated that he might contact your office to clarify some questions he has regarding the property. Please let me know when the documents are ready for pick-up.

Blanchard Contact: Wyatt E. Blanchard SUBJECT: River .Road Sewer Force .Main BRIEF SUMMARY: The District has an opportunity to enter into a joint project with the Schools to construct a gravity sewer line of a savings to both the District and the Schools at a cost of $37,000. The District presently has an on-going contract with State Utilities for the construction of a sewer force main from the Lambs Bluff area along River Road, to the existing Mott Creek Pump Station. This sewer line will serve the River Road area south of Saunders Road, including the Veterans Park Schools. The school system intends to construct a gravity sewer line from the Bellamy School to the Mott Creek Station to take the school off the septic system. This gravity Fine would parallel approximate 2,130 feet of the force main. Staff recommends that the 2,130 feet of the proposed parallel force main not be constructed and instead replaced with the proposed gravity line. This would save approximately $37,000 of cost ~ ' to the schools, and prevent, parallel sewer lines. In order to prevent delaying the River Road Project, staff has already requested and reviewed bids of $163,800 from State Utilities and $109,365 from Thomson and Company who presently has a contract with the County at Veterans Park, for the gravity line. Based on this information, we recommend that Thomson and Company's contract be amended in the amount of $109,365. The District would contribute $37,000, which would have been paid for the force main. The remaining $72,365 will be paid by New Hanover County Schools.. The District may have to pay approximately $5,000 to terminate the State Utilities contract. See attached map for location. Our Legal Department has prepared a letter of agreement with the schools for the money. RECOMMENDED' MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff recommends that the Thomson and Company contract be amended in the amount of $109,365 for the work and in addition approve the associated Budget Amendment #01.0 0 FUNDING SOURCE: 800-470-4197-3700 ATTACHMENTS: Location Map, 6A#O1.0004.wpd ~AUf~P ~0~1~4t19~" ,APPROVE[ ~-~-;-. ,;, ;.

Blanchard, P.E. New.Hanover County Engineer 414 Chestnut Street Wilmington, NC 28401 Mr. Richard W. Piasio Controller Kosa P. O. Box 327 Wilmington, NC28402-0327 Gentlemen: Attached is a Memorandum of Intent for the Authority's proposed Highway 421 Corridor Potable Water System which will initially serve primarily Kosa and the County's Flemington System. You have previously received the report of Willis Engineers outlining project alternatives. The Authority is continuing to investigate the most feasible method to 'implement the project. It appears that the two best alternatives, are (i) an Authority treatment plant in the vicinity of Kosa using Authority surface water and (ii) the Authority purchasing treated water from the City of Wilmington. I have contacted the State of North Carolina concerning clean water bond funds for the project. I am encouraged by my discussions of the possibility of a grant for the project. It is not unrealistic to expect that the project could be fully funded by grants although there will be many other competitors across the state for the available funds. I o have any chance for the grant, the Authority's grant application with preliminary plans, environmental assessment and other related documents for the project must be submitted to the state by September 30, 2000. It is important that the Authority authorize the necessary work relating to the grant at its July 10, 2000 meeting and that the work begin almost immediately thereafter. I, therefore, request that you return the signed Memo of Intent at your earliest convenience so that it will be available for the upcoming Authority meeting. I understand from Wyatt that the County will meet on this on the night of July 10 and that the County's Memo of Intent would not be available at our meeting. I will nevertheless ask the Authority Board to give the necessary approvals to proceed subject to receipt on July 11 of the County's Memo of Intent.

A. RESOURCE PROTECTION • We must preserve, protect and enhance the area's natural resources, because the quality of our environment is an important ingredient in our overall quality of life, including our potential for continued economic growth. • The protection of our resources shall be pursued in a regional context with area-wide planning, through a political process that favors long-term goals over short-term interests and provides accountability for the implementation of the goals and policies stated herein. 1. WATER QUALITY The City of Wilmington and New Hanover County shall: 1.1 Prevent further deterioration of estuarine water quality and loss of public trust uses in the creeks and sounds and bring all coastal waters quality up to its use designation as determined by the Division(s) of Water Quality, Marine Fisheries, Health, and E.P.A. 1.2 Ensure.the protection of water quality throughout the..Cape Fear River Basin within New Hanover County and the management & maintenance of drainage within our coastal watersheds through participation in the development of regional water quality / stormwater management programs. 1.3 Ensure the protection, preservation and wise use of our natural resources by careful review and consideration of the anticipated impacts of development through the creation and implementation of an Environmental Review Program. 1.4 It is the intent ofthis plan to further provide for the protection and improvement of our water quality through our Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The UDO should specify standards for water quality, buffers, setbacks, density, impervious surface, and overlay corridors; it should consider estuarine, river and other feeder creeks water quality; and it should build upon existing information and ordinances. 2. OPEN SPACE The City of Wilmington and New Hanover County shall: , 2.1 Ensure the preservation of adequate open space for its continued enjoyment and contribution to-our community today and for generations to come, to protect our natural environment and wildlife habitats and to provide educational & recreational opportunities. 2.2 Identify and protect wildlife corridors as a part of the greenway system and require their protection or mitigation with all new development. 2.3 Preserve Airlie Gardens as a part of the greenway system to provide public open space, natural environment and water quality protection, coastal landscape, educational opportunities, and to ensure its continued enjoyment and contribution to our community 2.4 Ensure the protection of our community's significant trees and the provision of adequate 160 25 ~~ 1 `_i _ , 3 ~ ~ _ landscaping to address urban design and. resource protection issues through the update . of city and county development ordinances & processes and establishment of a joint ` ~ Tree Advisory Commission.

The regulations presently state that if an existing platted lot. is too shallow to comply with the 30 foot buffer, then the single gamily structure must comply to the maximum extent feasible and must be limited to a 1,000 SF footprint. The 1,000 SF footprint does not limit the structure to one story. The Town wishes to exempt all previously platted lots from all of These conditions. The Town's resolution states that the imposition of these conditions would create a "significant hardship" on many lots. This issue does not appear to impact development in the unincorporated County. The State asserts that a 30 foot buffer helps prevent non point pollution runoff. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTi0N5• The Board should consider the request from the Town. The Board possibly could request the State to investigate potential impacts on lots in Wrightsville Beach, with the Town's assistance.

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Wrightsville Beach $oard of Aldermen does hereby request that the I~Torth Carolina General Assembly exempt al! lots lying within the corporate jurisdiction of the Town of Wrightsville Beach that-were platted prior to the enactment of the pending legislation from the estuarine shoreline 30-foot development buffer regulations as currently proposed by the Coastal Resources Commission.

I am pleased to hear the visitor center is now open. I have . given a copy of your letter to each of the Commissioners, and we will discuss visiting the site after the project is complete. Again, thank you for your letter, and I will be in touch regarding a possible visit. Sincerely, William A. Caster Chairman WAC:mIp cc: Commissioners ,;> Fort Fisher Restoration Committee, Inc. 1610 Fort Fisher Blvd South P.O. Box 169 Kure Beac{; NC 28449 June 21, 2000 Chairman Bill Caster New Hanover Board of Commissioners Wilmington, NC 28401 Dear Chairman Caster: As Chairman of the Fort Fisher Restoration Committee, Inc., I am pleased to report to you and members of the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners that the visitor center at Fort Fisher State Historic Site reopened to the public on May 15. The Center was closed in February 1999 for major renovations and upgrades.. Total cost for this project was $450,000. _ A separate $400,000 project to design, fabricate and install new exhibits is also moving forward. Upon entering the visitor center a site orientation panel will include a map of the Federal Point showcasing area attractions. An exciting centerpiece for the new exhibit area will be a fiber optic relief map of Federal Point displaying troop movements and formations during the 1864/65 battles. Other exhibits will include blockade runners, construction of the Fort, weapons and technology and everyday life of the garrison soldiers. Another planned exhibit entitled "Shifting Sands" will describe the loss of the Fort over the years due to erosion along the oceanfront. As you know, these improvements have been anticipated for a number of years and that reality is finally in sight. Exact dates for reopening and dedicating the new exhibits is not yet known because the project contract has not been awarded. When that occurs, we surely want you and other members of the County Commissioners to take part in the ceremonies. Due to several factors, not the least of which is the State's efforts to mitigate flood relief from Hurricane Floyd, some funds we had hoped to use for this project were lost. Site Manager Barbara Hoppe and I would be delighted to discuss this project with you and the County Commissioners at your earliest convenience. The Fort Fisher Restoration Committee, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) non- profit organization dedicated to enhancing and promoting Fort Fisher State Historic Site. We extend a personal invitation to you and the Board of Commissioners to visit Fort Fisher for a tour and briefing on the renovation project, the exhibit project and the revetment repair project. The repairs to the revetment are due to be completed by July 24 and the entire oceanfront area reopened to the public. Simply let Ms. Hoppe know when you would be available for such a tour and briefing and we shall make the arrangements. Fort Fisher State Historic Site is an important economic engine for the area. The site averages approximately 200,000 visitors each year. It is urgent that we return the site, in its entirety, to the public as soon as possible. We know that you concur and hope that the Board of Commissioners will be excited by the many improvements being made at the site. ,~ncerel -`~-~ `gym ~ ~~~ ~~C~u` Paul M.
