Why does the county need a new jail? The purpose of a jail is to house inmates who are charged with a crime and who are awaiting trial. A jail also houses inmates who have been have been ordered to serve short-term (up to 120 days) sentences. In New Hanover County, approximately 80% of the people housed in jail are awaiting trial. As the population of New Hanover County has grown, so has the jail population. The current Law Enforcement Center is presently designed to house 209 inmates. Average daily populations have surpassed 400. The county has been transferring inmates to other county jails in North Carolina at a cost of approximately $100,000 per month. ($45 per day per inmate plus travel time and costs) Can't we keep more defendants from being housed in our jail before trial? Expediting construction of a new jail isn't the only way New Hanover. County, law enforcement and the North Carolina Courts are working together to help reduce the growing jail population., The New Hanover County Pretrial Release Program, Drug Court the Friday Felony Program and improved technology are only a few examples of efforts to allow defendants to move through the system, ultimately reducing the amount of tax dollars used to house inmates. Why can't the county expand the current Law Enforcement Center/jail? Originally constructed in the late 1970s to house 170 inmates, the LEC was expanded in the early 1990s to house 209 inmates. Due to limitations on the foundation of the structure, it is not physically possible to expand the LEC's cell space. Some limited expansion however is possible for office use only. Besides the jail, LEC also houses the Sheriff's Department administrative offices, 911 Center, Magistrates Court and offices, Emergency Management Department and Emergency Operations Center. Present plans call for renovating the structure for 911, EOC and other county office space. How was the Blue Clay Road site selected? In looking for a location for a new jail facility, a number of considerations was given; location, availability of space for future expansion, cost of land, and the impact on surrounding areas. One of the most appealing sites for the selected site was the fact that the county already owned over 200 acres in a mostly rural area of Castle Hayne. Building a new facility in the downtown Wilmington area would have been prohibitively expensive. How will inmates be transferred to court? Inmates, who are to appear in court, will be transferred from the Blue Clay Road facility, to a holding center to be located in a renovated Law Enforcement Center. The holding cell area is connected to the Judicial Building by an underground tunnel. 19 Isn't that the site of an old county landfill', and are there other environmental issues? In 1960s, New Hanover County operated a temporary landfill on the site. The landfill occupies approximately 30 acres of the 200-acre location. -The jail will not be constructed on top of the landfill. Wetlands and the federally protected Venus' Flytrap have been identified on the site. The wetlands have been delineated and will be protected. The few Venus'-Flytrap plants on~site will be relocated. How was the size of the jail decided? An exhaustive. study .was conducted by Carter/Gobel Associates; a Columbia, South Carolina based firm specializing in.jail construction. A number of options were presented to county commissioners, including. the preferred 600-bed facility and. renovations to the current LEC. In addition, county- staff made visits to other modern jail facilities How will the county pay for the jail? The estimated project cost, including design costs, professional service fees, furniture, fixtures, contingencies, and renovations to the current Law Enforcement Center is $50,671,1'.15. ,Placing this amount before voters for a bond referendum would be a highly unlikely possibility. The preferred option would be to finance the proj"ect through Certificates of Participation.. This method of financing, used in other county construction.projects, involves borrowing the money and repaying it, plus interest, over a number of years; much like a mortgage. Considering the county's excellent credit worthiness, Why does the county need an "expeditor" for this project? Jails, by their nature, are highly complicated construction projects. Given the expense of transferring and housing New Hanover County inmates in other counties, it is the goal to see the project moves as quickly and efficiently as possible. A firm was hired to "expedite"`the process with the aim of reducing the long term construction and out-of- cotmty housirig costs. Miller Building Corp., will also work to, limit expensive change orders that could cost the county additional money. ' ,.

To the best of my knowledge all of the comments and suggestions offered through the July 26`h meeting were addressed in the revised draft, dated July 28, 2000, which incorporated the changes requested by the Planning .Board members present at the July 26~h meeftng. On August 3`d at the regular meeting of the Planning Board~a properly announced public hearing on the proposed ordinance and manual was conducted by the Planning Board. The August 3`d meeting ran late into the evening. After receiving all of the public comments and due to the late hour, the Planning Board decided to, continue the item to August 9, 2000 when they met, resumed their discussion, prepared their final changes and voted to recommend to the Board of Commissioners for approval the documents enclosed. ' A couple of hours prior to the August 9th meeting, Ms. Tracy E. Skrabal of the North Carolina Coastal Federation faxed a (etter to the Chairman of the Planning Board offering her comments and suggestions. Due to the Planning Board receiving Ms. Skrabal's faxed letter at the last minute, the lack of attendance by her or anyone from her organization at either the August 3`d meeting or the August 9th meeting, . and the potential for delays, the Planning Board completed its revisions, without considering the comments and suggestions of Ms. Skrabal. The County may wish to receive additional comments and suggestions from interested organizations and individuals at the September 5th meeting of the Board of Commissioners While some individuals and organizations may continue to offer suggestions and comments, everyone who engaged in the process worked very hard to develop the proposed ordinance and manual which will, without question, greatly improve the. management of storm water in New Hanover County. As the County's comprehensive storm water management program is implemented, interpretations, clarifications and amendments of the ordinance and manual, if approved, can be made.. Some of the key benefits of the proposed program are as follows: (1) Expansion of storm water management to subdivision and non-subdivision projects 10,000 square feet in size and larger, (2) Additional. control of post-development runoff by limiting the 25-year storm runoff to the existing .pre-development runoff rates which is similar to the existing requirements for the 2-year and 10-year storms, (3) Establishment of an inspection ,and enforcement program for eliminating illicit discharges and improper disposals, which is anticipated. to be a requirement of~ . the upcoming Phase I1 NPDES storm water program, Wyatt E.

We are pleased that New ' Hax~aver County is taking the steps necessary to adopt a comprehensive aiiproach to stormwater management, howevez, we have some concerns about adequate envizonmental protection. •We respectfully offer the following comments and recommendations on the ordinance, • 1) ~'he draft ordinance does little mote than pxovide general language in Sectioan V (Objectives) regarding protection of water quality as a goal to be achieved through this county-wide stormwatez ordinance. While this goal is xeflected within the stated objectives, there is little specific infozmation oz requirements found in the ordinance to identify how these objectives will be accoaaplished through this new initiative. This is particularly disappointing given the City and. County's current involvement arxd understanding of EFA's f nal Stoz~m Water Phase IZ rules and requirements for implementation.

Deadlines for compliance with the Phase II permit requirements are December 9, 2002 or December 8, 200A, if a watershed plan is in place. Minimum control measures to comply with the Phase II program requirements include public education and involvement, illicit discharge detection and elimination, construction site runoff controls, post-construction runoff controls and pollution prevention for municipalities. More specifically, the following information will be required for all permit applications: . -Descriptions of land use activities with population estimates, densities, and projected growth for a ten year period within the drainage basins of tl~e government; -Location of any known discharges of storrxr water and existing treatment devices; -List of water bodies that are receiving storm water discharges and the causes for water quality degradation in those bodies; '' - `' ' • -Descriptions of the existing management pz~ograms to control pollutants; , -Descriptions of the fiscal resources available for storm water management; • -Information that characterizes the quality and quantity of storm. water discharges covered under the pez-~xait application; ~ ~ k -estimates of annual pollution loads of the cumulative discharges of stozrr~ water to surface waters within the jurisdiction; -Proposed management programs that includes comprehensive plaruxing to control discharges to protect and restore water qua);ityatandards; -pescripton of the maintenance. activities andachedule for structural contzols to reduce pollutants in,storm water; ~ ,, -Description of the planning process including a comprehensive z~asfer plan to develop; • • ~ : , impleznez~t,. andenforce _controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants in storm water.' from new development az~d redevelopment; -Assessments of estimated reductions in loadings of pollutants from storm water -discharges that will. result from the program; -~'isc~l analysis showing the local government has.the capital; operation anal maintenance expenditures ;necessary to accomplish the requiremients of the permit. • Staff_ members from Wilmingtozt and New ~anover,County are currently, involved in planning for compliance with the imminent Phase T.I deadlines.

Page 3 of 4 2) North Carolina State law makes the protection of waters classified as shellfishing waters the top priority. County stormwater ordinances must reflect that priority, and we should include.statements into this draft ordinance to include the stated goal of protecting and restoring waters classif ed for shellfish harvest, as well as for swimming and other classified uses. 3) Language in Section 6.4 (Limitation of Ordinance) clearly is designed to legally shift the liability for flooding AND water quality violations from the County to individual property owners. Not only does this give the appearance that the County officials wish to avoid any culpability for past and future flooding problems which may have resulted from poor land-use planning (such as allowing development in filled or drained wetlands), but we question the legality of this statement, given the direct responsibility placed on municipalities to protect water quality and resources from stormwater runoff, as is outlined extensively in EPA's Phase II rules and guidance documents. Further, we do not understand how the County can achieve the stated envirorunental goals and objectives related to pollutant removal and water quality protection by directly placing the burden individually on property owners to' "abate and prevent nuisances resulting from improper drainage..,"as is outlined in Section 6.4 and Section 10.2, ~'hese statements seezx~ entirely inconsistent with the stated commitment by New l~anover County to address the issue of non-point source pollution through a comprehensive stormwater approach. 4) As a related note to comments 1-3, we question whether tlae NC Division of Water Quality, who have been charged with ensuring that local corrtmunities design stormwater progranns which comply with EPA's Phase II program, have had the opporhmity to review and comment on this proposed ordinance. We would hope that no final ordinance would be adopted until specific guidance from DWQ had been solicited and incorporated. We would also strongly recommend that the County solicit the review and input fzom Drs, l~allin and Cahoon, who have been heavily involved in research and development of stormwater managezx~ent measures in New Hanover County, as well as the City staff' involved in the #inal recommendations of the Storxnwater Roundtable. 5) Penalties and illicit connections-'We question whether the penalties are sufficient to pz'ovide an adequate disincentive for illegal actions. Zt is not clear whether the penalties are assessed per violation, or in some cases, could accrue daily, and whether all illicit connections would be required to be eliminated upon detection. 5) We would recoxtuxiend that the storrxlwater ordinance apply to activities which result in land disturbance of 10,000 square feet or more, rather than impervious su.cfaces, as defned by the definitions section.

I was told that the neighborhood or homeowner could possibly have the county fix such a problem. 3) If we are going to hold a homeowner or neighborhood responsible for not maintaining a drainage system, then we should also hold anyone else (developer, engineering firm, builder, etc) accountable for a system that is not functional or nonexistent. Thank you, Tom Grady. 31 August 7, 2000 To: Roney Harris Chairman, New Hanover Count~,~ Planning Board ~, From: Ruth Niei~huis Co-chairperson, Citizens Protecting Resources Re: 'request for the inclusion of water quality standards in the Comprehensive Storm Water Management Ordinance Rodney: Per your request Thursday night, here is the gist of ~~liat I said retarding the inclusion of water quality standards in the proposed ordinance. . ~Ne.have a serious concern about the absence ofwater`quality considerations iri the current proposal, Some in our community would have us accept the notion that our water quality is.irsproving both locally and state wide. That is not the case and .the issue is compleY• enough that tonight is not the proper forum to'discuss the data. Suffice it to say that;our county~is concerned enough to be in~rolvPd currently ir. the Tidal Creek Studies with UNCW and also supporting the cooper~.tiye effarts,v.~th Pink Valley Country. Club in the Hetiwl'ett's'Cree?ti/Pire Valley Stream Restflr~.tion Project. It would appear•somewhat short sighted, awhile these efforts are underway, to not.include ,water quality •in the.proposed ~-, ordinance so ewe are delighted at this o~~Qrtunity to address the issue. We wwould also, sincerely .encourage the Planning :Board to avail .themselves .of.the "~~,~onderful, .local experts on water quality namely ~r,.Larry Cahoon, Dr. Mike°Mallin and Tracy ~S?rrabel '' One of the'major concerns for our county is nor.-point source. pollution which basiealiy refers to all the water which Wins off of our impervious surfaces into our estuaries. ~Ihile this ordinance makes some attempt to address water quality in Section 11, by listing~~uhat cannot be spilled or dumped into our storm water drains, it does not proznde the means to~ control tie pollutants com%ng off of the impervious surfaces, ~~hich then continue to threaten our hater quality. Admittedly, the public when faced lwith flooding lwants the water off the land as fast as possible but it .is not enough to just move the water ofl'the land. This is the cuurent emphasis of the ordinance. Steps must be ir_cluded in the final form of phis .ordinance or as ar. amendment, which will wor k to improve and maintain water quality. The best lvay to improve water quality from non-point source pollution is to pre-treat it, that is bgfore it enters our estuaries. This can be accomplished, in part, by including vegetative buffer strips along all the watervays. These waterways, themselves need to be vegetative and not channalized to allow foi cleansing to take place. In the Hewlett's Creek/Pine Valley Stream Restoration Project, the creek bed is beint restored to more. 3 ^ natural meanderings: While not reducing volume, a meandering 'stream allows, the water to ~, be slowed doom thereby reducing the severe silting problem which had developed in this . case. Also, the current practice of concrete spillways or the "rubberized" waffle-like mat approach moves the water quicl~ly but again because of more impervious surface, can not maintain or improve water quality. In Section 5, the fourth objective is "to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent p~acticableby------the use of best management practices---------::" We'd like to see the inclusion, in the Ordinance of a requirement for the preservation of local, natural tree cover as an important player in storm water control. We know for a fact that trees absorb large quantities of water. Since we keep taLtiang costs both to builders and potential home buyers, this might help reduce the.cost of a storm water system to the builder, while malting a neighborhood more aesthetically pleasing and a better."sell:" I would ~ike to add that I was quite pleased to hear discussion of the .cleaning of ditches acknowledge that drainage ditches do not have to be "scoured" to work efficiently. While everyone would (should) agree that the remov~.l of years of accumulated junk, trash and yard wastes is necessary I did have a concern that all growing, vegetative matter would be categori~aIly eliminated too and that would certainly work against water quality. Thanks again for finally tackling a tough job. 1~That has been proposed is an excellent first step in ~~hat we anticipate will become a truly comprehensive storm water management plan for the whole county.

BOX 31-01 WILMINGTON, N.C.28406 910-799-2611, Fax 910-799-2610 I wanted to take a moment to express the appreciation of the Wilmington-Cape Fear Home Builders Association for your work on the county's proposed storm water management .ordinance. We believe this ordinance on its merits is a solid first step toward reducing drainage problems countywide. We hope to further participate in relieving more problems in the future. Based on Thursday night's planning board meeting, I wanted to discuss a few things.that the ' HBA wants to make sure are handled properly. First, about Section 6.2 of the ordinance. I felt the main complaint of the people who spoke at the meeting was that the section doesn't provide an adequate way for people to tell the county that it, not they, should be responsible far cleaning up certain ditches and drains when they did not cause the problem. I don't think these people understand that between the remainder of the ordinance and the design manual; their concerns are addressed. You are right in saying 6.2 is only a policy, but I think if people don't understand this, the language probably isn't clear enough. Perhaps'if language is added to the section which references the locations in the ordinance and manual where these~concerns are addressed,'such as the Section 14 appeals process, we can alleviate the residents' concerns without having to duplicate information and keep this the readable and manageable document the county set out to create. I will leave it up to you, Dan and the board to work out that language. Second, about Section 10.8. When I read the final draft concerning the surety, its intent and how it was to be applied, it wasn't clear to me. But Rodney's proposed language change makes the intent and purpose much more clear, and the HBA supports making that change to the ordinance. Third, about putting language in the ordinance concerning treatment of runoff. Ms. Nienhuis and Ms. Killian were correct in saying that the water needs to be treated; but we should not consider putting language in this ordinance to address this problem: You are aware that it has been the intent of the county and this ordinance all along to find ways to control runoff and help alleviate flooding problems. Treating that runoff is a separate issue that should be handled separately, and the HBA would agree to help craft and support an ordinance to address how to treat the runoff. 34~ ~-, ,~ AFFILIATED WITH N.A.H.B. AND N.C.H.B.A. ' You have been in the government business long enough to know that an ordinance that tries to • do too much often winds up ineffective. The HBA believes including ways to treat runoff in this ordinance could cause this to happen, and we don't think anyone wants to see that. The HBA also feels strongly that at Wednesday's work session the board should not delve back into discussions concerning parts of the ordinance upon which agreements have already been reached. To my understanding, this meeting was called to specifically address discrepancies brought up at Thursday night's meeting. As you know, the previous workshops were announced publicly'both in the June 14 commissioners meeting and via public notice. Plenty of notice was given and everyone had ample opportunity to provide input into issues that were decided at these workshops. Rehashing parts of the ordinance upon which agreements have already been reached will only further slow the process of approving and enacting the ordinance, which I'm sure you understand doesn't need to happen. . . Again, on behalf of the HBA, thanks for your hard work on this ordinance. The county needs to get this ordinance into operation ASAP. I hope the board can get all the kinks worked out Wednesday afternoon and give it to the commissioners for approval- Sept. 5. I look forward to working on this with you Wednesday.

PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION (July 6; 2000 Mtg.) Adjoining. neighborhood.concerris primarily focused on environmental degradation of the area and a proposed road connection from the site into the Lord's Creek development to facilitate emergency access to Carolina Beach Road. Several individuals also spoke in favor of the project indicating that the site was the "best" use for the area considering the amount of wetlands and conservation areas on site. The Planning Board recommended iri a 4-0 vote to approve the project with four conditions. First, that every effort be made to mitigate potential flood and . environmental concerns.Second, adequate water and sewer service be secured prior to the construction of the facility. Third, the Lighthouse Development Corporation br required to join the Ocean Forest Homeowners Association in order to utilize and maintain the private `roads in Ocean Forest development. Fourth, low intensity lighting and adequate buffering be installed in the parking areas to mitigate concerns from adjoining landowners in Ocean Forest. , Site Geography This 294 acre site is located, in the southern portion of New Hanover County and is currently zoned R-15 Residential. Most of the site consists of 404 wetlands and several of the. County's conservation resources such as Tidal Marsh and Pocosin. Vegetation in the area includes a . mixture of Loblolly Pine, Turkey Oaks, Live Oaks, and Maples.

Due to environmental constraints on the 294 tract, only 20 acres (7% total site::-area) is proposed to be developed with impervious coverage as a personal care facility and education center. Four (4) main buildings are planned consisting of horse stables, staff housing quarters, main facility, and corporate enclave. The main facility will provide 40 suites for week long guests, a spa, library, children's center, pool complex, time share units, dining;.and private retail shops (health care products). A museum and auditorium are also proposed. Local New Hanover County residents will be able to utilize the facilities by purchasing "day'' memberships. One goal ofthe-facility is to minimize the use of vehicles throughout the site. Guests will circulate through a series of pedestrian paths and horse drawn carriages. Parking areas and access points will be buffered and located along the periphery of the property. Access for emergency and service vehicles will be provided from River Road and Ocean Forest Lakes development to the north. Preliminary Staff Findings 1. The Board must find that the use will not materially endanger the ublic health or safe A ty if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and approved. A. Presenty, sewer and water service will be provided by individual systems or the County. B. The project will have direct access (private) from River Road. Existing secondary access nodes will be utilized from Ontario and Clarkhill Roads in Ocean Forest developement. C. The project will be served by Myrtle Grove VFD and EMS District 5 from Carolina Beach. D. Aproximately 20 acres of the 294 acre site will be developed. E. Portions of the proposed facility are located within the 100 year flood zone. 2. The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Zoning Ordinance. A. Personal care facilities and other related activities are permitted by special use in the R-15 Zoning District. . B. Buffer and conservation setback requirements will be required in accordance with Section 72- 9 and Section 59.4 of the County's Zoning Regulations. C. The project proposes 328 parking spaces. D. The project will consist of a main facility with 65 units, employee housing with 28 units, and a corporate center with 24 units. ! 39 5-467 (cont'd) 3. 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 necessity. ~ ~ • ~ ~ - . ~; A. Land adjacent and south of the-projectis vacant and contains 404 wetlands. Property to the north is partially developed as Ocean Forest Lakes. Property adjacent and east of the project is .partially developed as Lords Creek development. A large portion of land south of Lords Creek is vacant and contains 404 wetlands. B. Personal care facilities are located throughout the County and permitted by special use. 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 of New Hanover County. A. The 1999 New Hanover Land Classification Plan identifies this area as predominately Conservation. This land class provides for the effective long-term management and protection of significant, limited or irreplacable natural resources while also protecting the rights of the property owner. In order to promote the highest and best use while preventing a negative impact on water quality, site specific flexibility and creativity is desirable. B.,As stated, approximately 20 acres (7%) ofthe 294 acre tract will be developed- buildings- 6 'acres, roads/trails 10 acres, parking 4 acres. C. Other areas displayed on site involve passive recreation: farming area, orchards, treehouse; and garden area. Staff Comments/Concerns -Every effort should be made to mitigate potential flood and environmental concerns. - Adequate water and sewer service must be secured prior to construction: - Alternate access from _the site through Lords. Creek (Hailsham Dr.)development is recommended. - Roads in Ocean Forest Lakes are private. Use of these roads will require a joint agreement between the Ocean Forest Homeowners and developer addressing maintenance and liability concerns. - Primary parking areas should'be relocated closer to River Road to minimize trips through residential neighborhoods. 40 ~ i S-467, 07/00 ~Petifion Summary Data • Otivner/1'etitioner: Lighthouse Dev.

Andy Wood ~~1 ~ti~ti~ 214 Hooker Roa Wilmington, NC 28403 Subject: Public~Comment for 6 July 2000 New Hanover County Planning Board This letter is in reference to Item 6: Special Use Permit request under consideration at the Public Hearing on 6 July 2000. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my thoughts on the matter and would appreciate having the following comments entered into the public record. The parcel of land in question, 5-467, 07/00, located offRiver Road and adjacent to Lords Creek, is largely wetland habitat dominated by bottomland hardwood and coniferous forest trees including bald and pond cypress, water oak, sweetgum, Atlantic white cedar, Virginia-bay and dahoon holly. Understory plants include a variety ofwetland-indicator wildflowers including golden club, pickerelweed, cattail, royal fern, and iris. The natural heritage of this particular area is of special interest because it contains a wealth of unique plants and animals;includin~ Venus' flytrap, pitcher plants, butterworts and other carnivorous plants along with native orchids and other unusual wildflowers. While some of these plants may be locally common in isolated places in southeastern North Carolina, they are' all in jeopardy in New Hanover county due to habitat loss as a result of development'and utilities construction. The presence of Atlantic white cedar on this site is significant because this is one of the last remaining natural stands of this species in Netiv Hanover county. Obligate wetland animals in the site include spotted turtles, broken striped newts (a type of aquatic salamander) treefrogs and wading birds. Numerous migratory songbirds and various nongame mammals also use this site for foraging and breeding. The property lies in the Cape Fear River and Lords Creek floodplain and is often so wet that moving stormwater can be seen sheeting through the woods at depths greater than 18 inches. Standing water covers much of the area for several months of the year from December through May. Following our experiences with hurricane Floyd and other rain event flooding, the State and Federal governments have both endorsed the idea of not building structures in ' floodplains. Tllis project site is clearly prone to continued flooding as evidenced by the very soils that occur there and the plant species supported by the vet soils and low-lying topography. The idea of building structures iii this area runs contrary to the County's long term goal of improving our surface water quality because impervious surface in the floodplain will send greater volumes of untreated and contamitlated stormwater into the Cape Fear River via stormwater detention ponds that ate inundated by floodplain floodwater. As an aside, I should like to note that had New Hanover citizens passed the Open Space Bond Referendum this past spring, I for one would have liked to see this particular site considered for purchase as open space. The site already receives, stores and naturally treats stormwater from existing adjacent developments and as already mentioned, it provides safe haven for several species of plants and animals currently imperiled in our area because of habitat loss: ~ ~ ~ ~ ' I believe this site has great merit as a natural heritage area in New Hanover Co~-nty and while it may be possible to develop some of what little high ground exists on-site, I.b.elieve it would be tivorthwhile to recognize the sensitive nature of this particular area and encourage minimal impact development as a best management practice.. ~~ For the reasons I have outlined above`I would ask this Board to closely review the text of this project's proposal including off-site impacts created by additional stormtivater runoff, traffic flow and the costs ofpublic-funded. utilities required to support the project's. residents. I would also ask that existing wetlands be-shown on preliminary development plans to assure maximum protection for these public trust resources. I also encourage the Planning Board to confirm that the proposed special use request is for a nursing home only. If it is the intent of the developer to build such peripheral site constricts as apartments, condominiums, horse stables and other structures, they should be clearly delineated before this plan is approved. ..~~ ,; 50 FP.OM ,.: HadeniS t3nz i ~ l e FAX N0. sY~~-OI-•~O d2 ; 67P Hariov®y- DFas i~r, Serv • • Aug. 02 2000 04:27PM P2 9117 343 9943.

RECOMMENDATION 8/3/00: The applicant Mr. Charles Joyce presented his request; emphasizing his desire to sell the property. One adjacent neighbor spoke in opposition. After some discussion about different zoning options and the nearby neighborhoods, the Planning Board,-unanimously voted to recommend denial of the request.. STAFF SUMMARY: The subject properties are located at the intersection of North Kerr Avenue;-Gordon Road and Farley Drive. This area was' originally zoned in the Airport District in October 1976. The petitioner is requesting a rezoning from Airport Residential to Airport Industrial. In an effort to minimize aircraft hazards, the Airport zoning districts were established to limit the development of land within the vicinity of the Airport to low density development. The Airport Industrial District was established to encourage the types of development having ~ , maximum compatibility with aircraft operations; to protect and to promote the public utility of the Airport; and, to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the inhabitants of New Hanover County by preventing the.creation of hazards. The subject parcels are located in close proximity to the property owned by the,Airpgrt Authority. Therefore, in the future the Airport maybe interested in acquiring some of this property. The Comprehensive Plan encourages the growth of the airport and recommends that the County support the airport master plan. , .. The configuration of these parcels combined with the setbacks and buffering required for the A-I district would severely limit their developable area. It is also important to note the history of commercial properties at this location. The opposite corner from the subject parcels is zoned Conditional Use A-I and the current office use on that property was approved for expansion by the County Commissioners in July 2000. This CD(A-I) was established in 1991 and has been .revised twice since. Prior to that there was a convenience store in that'location. Based on this ~~&~~ §aoyy,~the'llpro~ll~matic configuration of the parcels, the potential of firture expansion of the Ai~port;~and~the conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, Staff recommends denial of the request.

BRIEF SUMMARY.: Only one Country Haven resident expressed concern about the indoor/outdoor facility. The resident was concerned about the proposed pedestrian access easement leading from the project to the development along with appropriate. buffers/setbacks from the'ballfields. Others in attendance supported the project. Staff recommends that the petitioner revise the request for B-2 zoning to a combination of 0&I and B-1 or a conditional use B•1 Neighbor buisness with limited retail and office uses in order to create a mixed use project. Given the existing uses and the sensitive natural features across Market Street from the subject site staff recommends that the l•1 District be changed to .Office and•Institutional or commercial. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: The Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the special use request with a pedestrian access easement and shared access with the frontage property along Market Street. The Board also recommended approval of the rezoning request to B-2 Highway Business. There - was no public opposition to the rezoning request.

CONTINUED ITEM FROM 6/5/00 MEETING: The Conditional Use Portion of this request containing parcels 1-4 was approved at the June 6, 2000 Public Hearing. The remaining parcels (5-14) involved in this rezoning were tabled to allow the petitioner to explore a conditional use rezoning. The petitioner has submitted a conditional use site plan for parcels ~-14. This new site plan is also a revision of part of the previously approved plan. Staff has reviewed the plan and has the following comments and recommendations in addition to the requirements of the zoning ordinance: 1) Tree Inventory Must be Provided Prior to C.C. Meeting. Significant trees do exist.. on the property and should be incorporated into the site design. 2) In accordance with the prior rezoning approval for parcels 1-4 the petitioner should be subject to the payment of a transportation fee of $1,221.50 per 1,000 square feet of gross leasable area when the City of Wilmington and New Hanover County enter into an interlocal agreement. The funds will be returned if an award for the intersection improvements contract is not made within 5 years. 3) The petitioner should reserve a Pedestrian and/or a vehicular connection to the Weaver tract. 4) The sidewalk along Sneeden Road should be completed down to Carolina Beach Road S) A Sidewalk should be provided from Lowe's to Wal-Mart 6) Large interior parking bays need to provide some drive aisle connections. 7) Potential traffic conflicts at Wal-Mart Parking lot and Sneeden Road Connections as well as at the entrance to the gas pumps should be eliminated. 8) Need a conceptual design for outlots 1 & 2 9) Need justification for remote parking area shown adjacent to McDonalds entrance 10) Excess parking can be eliminated to enhance landscaping and tree preservation 11) A bus or transit stop should be provided at one or both of the main entrances to the project. 12) Landscaping should be provided between the buildings and the drive aisles in accordance with the City of Wilmington standards for large scale retail developments. 61 13) In an effort to minimize the impact of the Auto service, loading and gas pumps street yard landscaping should be provided along Carolina Beach Road in accordance with the draft UDO standards. 14) Storm Water Management should be.provided in accordance with the newly proposed standards for new development in_the County. SWM ponds should be an amenity. If safety fencing is required around SWM facilities it should NOT be chainlink or privacy fencing. CONTINUED ITEM FROM 5/8/00 MEETING: This item was tabled for one month as result of issues presented during the meeting about the potential traffic impacts of theproject and other projects that may also be forthcoming. There were two primary objectives for tabling the petition for a month. The first objective was to allow time to get a better understanding of the cost for the proposed grade separated interchange at Monkey Junction. The second objective was to facilitate discussions between the Transportation Advisory Committee, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, NCDOT; the Wilmington City Council, the New Hanover County Commissioners and Z-1 Commercial properties about possible funding for the interchange. ' 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 #l, which amounts to 40.9 acres. The rezoning request for the remaining parcels is for a straight B-2 Highway Business district. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: (4/6/00) , The petitioner provided- a detailed presentation about the proposed shopping center project. The presentation covered the information that the petitioner had presented during two previously held community meetings. The primary issues discussed were traffic; stormwater management,-and permitted uses. Several people spoke in favor of the request'and 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 Business. 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 area. The planning board also amended the permitted use table for Out-parcels 1 & 2 on College Road to be more restrictive. 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. Although 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, 62 consideration must be given to the potential traffic impacts ofthis 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 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 center 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; 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. ~) 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 site 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 portions of the site submitted-under the conditional use permit. The petitioner should return with a conditional use site plan. for the remainder of.the property at a later date. . 64 ~; ` Case: Z-697, 03/00 -:Special Use Permit for a Conditional Use B-2 Highway 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 by County Sewer and Community Water B. The site is located in the Myrtle Grove VFD C. Access to the site is proposed in two locations on South.College and in 3 locations on Carolina Beach Road. The applicant's traffic impact analysis proposes the addition of both right and left hand turn lanes in several locations and proposes a signalized entrance on South College Road across from 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. 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 much of the site was disturbed 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 necessity. A. Surrounding land use and zoning is a combination of residential and commercial. South of the site at theintersection of South College-anal Carolina Beach Road is a B-2 Highway business district. There is an R-15 residential district abutting the western property line. B. 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 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. A. The County's comprehensive plan recommends locating "regional commercial nodes at major intersections to accommodate uses that serve a regional market." B. A commercial node in this location would intercept traffic from the south going to other retail centers further north and would also attract some traffic from the northern parts of the County. • 65 Z-697, 03/00 ~ (`~ Petition Summary Data _ Owner/Petitioner: Joseph Taylor for Z-1 Commercial Properties, LLC Existing Land Use: Vacant /Residential Zoning History: October 15, 1969 & Apri17, 1971 • ~ ~ ' . - _ ,, Water Type: Community Sewer Type: County ~ ' Recreation Area: Myrtle-.Grove Middle Access and Traffic Volume: S, College 19,100 Carolina Beach 15,800 , „Fire District: Myrtle Grove Watershed and Water Quality Classification:.

After some discussion about the proper lanbuage to use in the text amendment-The•Planning Board voted unanimously to recommended that staff amend the ordinance to eliminate the need for landscape islands between buildings in storage facilities while retaining the 8% interior landscape requirement. Staff proposes to amend section 67-5(2)(B) as noted in Boldface Italics; (B) Parking Lot Interiors -Interior landscaping is.defined as,the landscaping required within the parking lot perimeters. Interior landscaping shall be provided equal to ~8% of the total area to be used for parking, loading area, or for other vehicular use or pedestrian use. Interior, landscaping shall be in the-form,of planting islands, eitherseparate or protruding from the perimeter landscaping, Each island shall have no horizontal dimension of less . than twelve (}2) feet. (4/2/90) Each island shall have no less than one planted or existing tree per island, with appropriate groundcover. No parking space shall belocated more - ' than°one hundred and twenty feet from a planting island.. The interior landscaping requirement within storage facilities can be met~.with landscape islands on the ends of buildings and with protraading perimeter landscaping. All parking spaces shall be blocked or curbed to prevent vehicles either from-overhanging.planting islands or ~~ landscaped yards by an average of more than one foot or damaging adjacent fences or screens. (3/9/88) Proposed Revision by Applicant is Noterl in Boldface Italics; 67-2 (2) Landscaping parking lots with five or more parking spaces or those areas 2500 square feet or more devoted for vehicular use, with the exception of interior paving of storage facilities where they do not directly abut a street right-of--way or competing land arses. 67-5 (1) Applicability;-;;Landscaping shall be required for all off street parking:facilitiestyith ~. five or more spaces or those areas 2500 square feet or more devoted to vehicular use, with the exception of interior paving of storage facilities where they do not directly abut a street right-of-way or'competing land uses. A l'andscapirig plan shall be submitted in accordance with section 67-8. STAFF SUMMARY The landscape section of the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance has been in effect since May 1985. This section of the ordinance was drafted to perform multiple functions as described in section 67-1. One of the primary applications of the landscape section is for parking lots. Landscaping within large paved areas reduces runoff, reduces heat radiation, and minimizes the aesthetic impact of development. Although storage facilities do not typically have a large number of parking spaces, they do typically have large drive aisles around the storage buildings which accommodate parked cars and through traffic.,0utside storage areas are typically just large paved areas with various types of cars, . ~ , -.n. f~~~~!boats`aa~~ aims stored. . - -- ~ Although the proposed text amendment does not change the perimeter landscape requirements ~• or the bufferi'ngtiequirements, it is inconsistent with the desired functions described in section 67-1 of 11 the~Zonmg~®rdinance. Staff recommends Denial of the proposed test amendment. ' ~"15~~<~i~ NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS .

After some discussion about how to count the density on the site the Planning Board unanimously voted to recommend denial of the request. This recommendation was made primarily because the proposed site plan exceeds the maximum density permitted by the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance in the R-10 zoning district. 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 site is located tivithin the Seagate VFD B. The site is served by community water and county sewer C. The site has direct access to Greenville Avenue which is classified by the New Hanover County Thoroughfare Classification Plan as a collector. 2. The Board must find that the use meets all required conditions and specifications of the zoning ordinance. ' A. The proposed site plan exceeds the maximum density for R-10 residential property. The maximum density is 3.3 dwelling units per acre, which equates to 9 possible units on this site. B. No lots are proposed for this site, therefore, the minimum lot size for duplexes does not apply. C. All other conditions of the ordinance can be met. 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 necessity. A. There is a variety of housing types in the area including duplexes. B. No evidence has been presented that indicates that duplexes would injure the value of adjoining properties. 4. The Board must find "that the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved wilt be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the plan of development for New Hariover County." A. The 1999 Land Classification Plan identifies this area as Developed. Residential densities for these areas may exceed 2.5 units per acre. B. Other attached housing units are located nearby Planning Staff Concerns: 1. This site does not meet the access requirements for a high density project. Therefore, this project has to be limited to the maximum density allowed in the R-10 district which is 3.3 dwelling units/acre or 9 units. 71 ~-466, 07/00 (Petition Summary Data ..

CONCERNING HOUSE NUt~IDER ASSIGNMENTS 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 rt%ral 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. P.lso, 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 in 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 (Z/2) numbers or lettering (A,B,C) Question: How touch time do we have to change our new address? Answer: 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 ~•~ill 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 dc•~elling to proper"ply display the assigned number on the dwelling and mailbox, if detached, so that.,.:i.t may be plainly seen from the road or access easement.

We embark on our biennial goals development process. The purpose of this memorandum is to formally solicit proposed legislative goals for the upcoming session. Consistent with our practice in recent years, we start with a clean. slate; i.e. no goals form prior years will be automatically carried over for inclusion in our 2001 package. Our goals development process will begin with consideration of proposals by the Association's six steering committees: Taxation and Finance, Public Education, Environment, Criminal Justice, Human Resources and Intergovernmental Relations. Following Steering Committee review, proposed goals will be considered by our Legislative Goals Committee; to be appointed by Association President Delilah Blanks. The recommendations of the Legislative Goals Committee will be submitted to the Board of Directors in mid-November. The Board's proposals _ will be .mailed to members to provide for review prior to,our biennial Legislative Goals Conference, to be held in Pinehurst, January 11-12, 2001. Vise ask that you transmit proposed legislative goals to Association headquarters by September S, 2000. Please let us know whether each proposal has been submitted by an inclividual commissioner or by a full~board. The upcoming legislative session is expected to be one in which the General Assembly deals with a number of significant issues; many of which will affect counties. We look forward to an open, educational consensus-building autumn as we prepare to participate in the legislative process. If you have questions or suggestions on our goals development process, please do not hesitate to contact Association headquarters. n e 12 r- ,~ '} r.. ~.~,• f ~ . ... r' _~:~ '~~~: :.: ..., ~ ~ . ..~ `Taxation and Finance ..................................................................................................................................................... ~~ .:... ~ Local Option Sales Tax Support legislation authorizing counties to enact an additional one percent ~`~ (1%) local option sales tax by resolution of the Board of County ~ Commissioners, with food purchased for home consumption exempted from the additional tax. ~~` ; Menu of Revenue Sources '~ Support legislation to authorize counties to enact optional local taxes and ~ ~` fees with voter approval from a menu of various revenue sources to include: ~,,~,,,~ local sales taxes, land transfer taxes, impact fees, automobile registration W fees, prepared-meals taxes, and occupancy taxes as have been authorized ,.~ under local act for certain counties.
