Planning Board Summary The Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the application as submitted. In support of that position, the Board agreed with Staff the site was ideal for transitional uses between established residential areas to the east and the commercial node to the west. They also agreed the placement of O-I Zoning here would make it easier to contain commercial encroachment from the rapidly growing commercial node adjacent to the site. There was no opposition. Planning Staff Summary The subject property is located on the western edge of a commercial node formed by the intersection of North College Road, Bavarian Lane and Murrayville Road. Murrayville Post Shopping Center is located across the street to the south. Though still viable, it recently lost its major tenant Food Lion to a site in the Northchase Industrial Park. -That vacancy has yet to be.filled:. . Another major commercial activity anchoring the node is the Hannaford Grocery Store, located in the southeast corner of the intersection. It recently underwent a major expansion. Other land uses of significance include a small strip center immediately adjacent to the subject property, a convenience food store, a self serve gas station, a bank and a Bell South service yard and office. More recently, land to the south of Murrayville Post was rezoned to Conditional Use B-2, B-1 and I-1, paving the way for the development of a mixed retail and light industrial center. The subject property is also located at the corner of Owls Lane and Bavarian Lane. Owls Lane, a local residential street, serves as the primary access to a series of duplexes and other residential uses to the north and west. The parcels' proximity to the existing commercial district as well their exposure to high levels of traffic common along Bavarian Lane have probably diminished their appeal for continued residential use. The rapid growth of residential uses in the general area has steadily increased the pressure to expand commercial uses to meet demand for services. In turn, the County has witriessed steady inc~eases~`in conirriereal avity and rezonings. Regarding traffic impacts, it is important to note that Bavarian Lane; provides gad ect east-west connection between North College Road and Castle Hayne Road. Estimated~traffic counts as of 1997 indicate that approximately 14,800 cars a day pass along the frontageof the -subject property. Similarly, traffic counts along North College Road at the 22 intersection app~roach1,.24K0~00 cars per day. t ~,~ ~~, ,,~- "f _ While its clear the residential appeal for this site may have slipped some because of heavy traffic and the close proximity of commercial land uses, the County should try to limit westward expansion of the commercial district. One proven method of doing that has been the establishment of office .and - institutional uses. Typically, such uses are more compatible with established residential uses and because setbacks and buffers are nearly identical to the requirements for .commercial districts, additional protection for residential uses is ensured. The Land Use Plan encourages transitional land uses like those offered by the O-I District. In this specific instance, the placement of O-I Zoning would effectively contain the westward march of commercial activity, effectively limiting it to an area, at least in terms of the Land Use Plan, more suited for such uses. Ina 1996 case, an attempt was made to rezone land to the southwest to B-2 from AR. Staff suggested in that case that the site be rezoned to O-I, primarily to contain the B-2 District that forms the commercial node at Murrayville Road and North College Road.

OF MRS. CHRISTL WEIDE . 1.. How would. the requested change be consistent with. the County`s Pol"icies for Growth and Development? ' ~ The property for which the rezoning request is submitted is " currently .zoned R-15. We are requesting a change in the zoning to. ' O & I. Section 3:2 of the Policies for Growth and Development ' provides as follows: . ~ 3.2 (1) OFFICE AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE • CONSIDERED APPROPRIATE LAND USAGE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROVIDED THAT DESIGN, SCALE AND USES' ARE COMPATIBLE WITH ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. Although we cannot address the "design, scale and uses" that will . be placed on the property for which O & I zoning is requested, the requested change to 0 & I is consistent. with this policy for growth and development. The property for which rezoning is requested is bounded on the east by property immediately adjacent to Highway 132. That property is zoned B-2. The area at the intersection of Murrayville Road and Highway 132 has already developed into a commercial node. The requested rezoning will retain the existing commercial development within this already developed commercial node. Therefore this request is consistent with Section 3.3 of -the Policies for Growth and Development which provides in part as follows 3.3 (1) COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT SHALL BE ENCOURAGED TO LOCATE IN DESIGNATED COMMERCIAL NODES WHICH ALREADY CONTAIN PUBLIC SERVICES, INCLUDING TRANSPORTATION, REQUIRED BY THE PROJECTS, OR IN AREAS IN WHICH THE NEEDED SERVICES ARE READILY AVAILABLE. ~" 3.3 (2) THE REDEVELOPMENT OF EXISTING COMMERCIAL NODES SHALL BE ENCOURAGED THROUGH THE USE OF FLEXIBLE DEVELOP- • MENT STANDARDS AND EVALUATION. THIS SHOULD BE THE PREFERRED METHOD OF COMMERCIAL EXPANSION. It appears at this time that the development along Highway - 132 in this area is creating uncontrolled strip commercial ', development. A permitted expansion of O & I property immediately .'adjacent to the existing B-2 property will reduce the opportunity . for uncontrolled strip commercial development. This is consistent • .with the following policy for growth and development. 3.3 (3) UNCONTROLLED STRIP COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE AVOIDED.. 2. How. would the requested zone change be consistent with the property's classification on the Land Classification Map? ' The area for which rezoning is requested as well as the immediately surrounding area is classified as "Urban Transition". - The "Summary of the ,Wilmington-New Hanover County Land Use Plan 1993 Update" states as follows: URBAN TRANSITION allows for intensive urban development on .lands that have been, or will be provided with . necessary urban services. ' '~ The requested .change from~R-15 to O & I zoning for this property. is entirely consistent with the property's classification on the' -'- Land.Classification Map. 3: What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is the land_ involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning? 25 The primary change which has occurred in this neighborhood to justify the requested rezoning is the intense development that has occurred at the intersection of Highway 132 and Murrayville Road." By permitting the requested rezoning, commercial. development. consistent with that currently existing at the intersection will be permitted in a westerly direction as opposed to increasing the potential for strip commercial zoning along Highway 132.' While the requested O & Z represents an incursion into the R-15 neighborhood, it would appear to be a reasonable incursion particularly in view of the purpose for 0 & I zoning as stated in the zoning ordinance to provide protection from encroachment in residential areas by other less desirable uses.

Analysis: Williamsburg Place is an attached multifamily development that utilizes an unnamed, circular drive (common area) for access to Northchase Parkway West. Based on the design of the project and in accordance with the County's street address regulations, the County assigned one central address to the development using Northchase Parkway West as the street name. Since the issuance of the central address, several County agencies have had difficulty locating specific buildings for inspection and mapping purposes. Several adjustments to the preliminary site have also taken place. The naming and addressing of this common area to Belmont Court will eliminate the problem. At the present time, approximately 7 to 10 units within Williamsburg are occupied and will be affected by the change. Belmont Court is an unduplicated street name and has been approved by E-911. If approved, the County will be responsible for installing a street sign at the entrance to the project. The effective date of change will be May 3, 1999. Staff Recommendation: The Planning staff recommends approval of the street naming request and the assignment of house numbers to improve locational response delivery.

Analysis: A study of the area reveals a small residential enclave near the Wilmington City limits. This private, unimproved road with an unspecified easement width contains approximately 4 residential homes. Concerns of emergency service delivery by Mr. Smith has prompted this request to properly name and number the road. Residents who live along the road chose the name which has received approval from E-911. If approved, the County will be responsible for installing a street sign. The effective date of change will be May 3, 1999. Staff Recommendation: The Planning staff agrees that residents need new addresses. However, staff recommends that the easement be named Dartmouth Road as a logical extension of the existing stub which intersects with Westchester Road. The naming to Dartmouth Road may be more appropriate if the applicant's property is subdivided in the future and the road is platted and improved. tC ~ , ~ r ! ~ k-.

Non-residential land use is permitted provided significant resources are protected. Planning Board Summary The Board voted 4 to 2 to recommend approval of the petition with a modification to leave the rear 50 feet of the tract zoned R-15 Residential. The general purpose of that exclusion was to provide additional setbacks and buffering between Woodduck Forest, an adjacent single family development and the subject property. The applicant pointed out to the Board that he had met with a number of the property owners in Woodduck and they did not oppose the change provided adequate buffering and setbacks were employed. There was no opposition per se, however, those who spoke were concerned about future drainage and traffic impacts. Planning Staff Summary There is no doubt that the property's proximity to commercial zoning to the south and west, the rapidly growing traffic congestion infecting Piner Road and the limits on residential density all combine to diminish the appeal to develop the property as zoned. Evidence supporting that notion abound. While nearby tracts to the north have been prime targets for expansion of the residential base in the general area, inquiries to develop properties along Piner Road with the current density limitation hovering over the land quickly turn to non-residential pursuits. Practically all new inquiries involve rezoning to convert the properties to commercial or office/institution uses. In 1995 the County rezoned the property to the west to Conditional Use Office and Institution after the initial application for general use O-I was amended. However, the plan expired before permits$co~ld+tie issued. A request for reapproval of the plan was endorsed by the Planning Board w,,itha wide~range of conditions but the plan was later denied by the Board of County Comrrussioners~t } °' 3 ~;~~ In that,c~"ase, ~Stafftadvised the Planning Board that the establishment of O-I Zoning some distance j _, ~;~3, . .from the eastern edge of the commercial node at South College Road might be premature and would place non-residential pressures on both sides of existing residential uses nearby. Similarly, the subject property is located about 800 feet east of the commercial zoning on the north side of Piner Road with several residential uses and a church in between. While precise limits of the ' County's commercial nodes are not defined, it is important to ensure that xhe fringes of these - nodes. are developed orderly and with a range of uses that. promote transition and stability... In some respects, O-I Zoning meets that need. But again, the property's distance from the node with viable, active residential uses nestled in between, makes the change look haphazard. Staff's position has been that the progression from the commercial node should begin, if at all, adjacent to the node, not some distance from it. Moreover; rezoning the site would set the stage for requests for similarly situated properties, creating an almost uncontrolled development pattern . along Piner Road. Another concern would be the impacts that would be created .for adjacent residential uses to the north. Residents of Woodduck Forest subdivision, which borders the -~ subject property,. were very much opposed to the rezoning for the adjacent parcel noted above, citing a loss of privacy, incompatibility and fear of crime as some of the reasons for their opposition. While buffering and setback standards would provide adequate visual protection ` and separation, they alone may not be sufficient to off-set the impacts of an open-ended zoning classification. Combining this with the other concerns previously stated,. Staff believes the petition should be denied. 33 PETITION SUMMARY SHEET Z-646, .1/99 Petition Number: Owner: - Task Bu; 1 ders Request: R-15 to O-I Representative:- car„A Acreage: 10.8 3 Tai ID Number: R-15 to 0-I Location: Pi nPr R~ac9 LAND USE, ZONING, UTILITIES and SERVICES Land Classification: pPC(]11Yf`P pr~+-A^~~ rtn Ezisting Land Use: - vacant Zoning History• ~ Area originally zoned April 7, .1971.

ITEM 5.7 Conditional Use Site Plan Revision- Request by Randall Bray to revise the approved site plan for The Harbor Village at the old Wilmington Shipyard. The property is zoned Conditional Use Business and Conditional Use Residential. (Z-559, 1/96; Revised 12/98) NOTE: The Commissioners heard this case at its January 4, 1999 meeting. Although the Board generally supported the revisions sought, there were concerns with the architectural features of the floating homes and the operation and specification for the proposed ground disposal sewer system. The applicant was directed to provide artist renderings, proposed models and other information to address these issues. Staff noted that the floating home proposal was inconsistent with City and County policies. Planning Board Summary -. ~ - The Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the revisions as submitted and to include the conditions of the original conditional use district order. In support of their decision, the Board noted the planned changes would be more compatible with the site's proximity to the river and nearby industrial uses. They also were pleased that the areas to be set aside for conservation would be increased. No one spoke in opposition at the meeting, although a letter from Almont Shipping was presented that stated the company continues to oppose the rezoning. They noted, however, that if the plan as revised is approved, then the County should require a covenant that discloses to residential buyers in the project that they are located in an industrial area. (This was made a part~ofthe original conditional use order and retained by the Planning Board in its latest recommendation.) Other potential users of the facility distributed letters of support. Planning Staff Summary The original conditional use district was approved by the County in January 1996. A six month extension for the plan was granted in February 1998. Since the extension was granted, the owners have obtained a building permit for limited construction on the property, effectively validating the site plan. The original site plan included the following elements: (Site Plan Attached) ~i - 27 single family lots with tennis facilities - 115 slip commercial/community marina with clubhouse facility - ~"''~'12~`townhornes' ad'acent to the marina ~~~.~.-f.4 _ _ ~.,,J _... - SO,000,~square~feetof retail and office space - a 75 room courtyard' hotel - preservation of~substantial natural areas 38 ~~ ~~~a~~: The revised site plan includes the following elements: (Site Plan Attached) • 1 are dev t h I' . - Reduction in number of boat slips to 91 from 115. The tota a o ed tot e boat s ips remains unchanged. - Proposes to locate 15 floating structures (aka floating homes) within the marina area - Eliminates 391and-based housing units--27 single family units and 12 townhomes - Establishment of a marine resource center for use by area rowing clubs, County Museum, UNCW, and the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher - Retention of the existing commercial and office area - Expansion of open space Under current ordinance standards, the proposed land uses identified in the revised plan are permitted. Except for the marina and floating structures, no special standards apply. The location of floating structures in conjunction with a commercial marina has to meet the following requirements 1. The location of the structures do no not impair water quality, primary nursery areas, shellfish grounds and conservation areas. 2. Floating structures cannot be located within 15 feet of the waterward extension of all property lines. 3. Only one dwelling unit per floating structure is allowed. 4. The structure must be located adjacent to a pier, dock or walkway with adequate • lighting. 5. Each structure must be provided with permanent water and sewer systems. No overboard discharges are permitted. 6. Provision of a system for the removal and disposal of solid waste. 7. Provision of 2,000 square feet of gross land area per floating structure shall be provided on-shore. 8. Two off-street parking areas per floating structure are required. 39 COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA ORDER GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN A CONDITIONAL USE ZONING DISTRICT Residential, Commercial, Office, )vlarina The Board of Board of County Corrunissioners for New Hanover County having held a public hearing on February 5, 1996 to consider application number Z-559, submitted by Randall Bray for TKL, Inc., a request for a special use pernut in a Conditional Use Zoning District to use the property located on U.S. 421 (Old Wilmington Shipyard) and having heard all the evidence and arguments presented at the hearing, make the following FINDINGS OF FACT and draw the following CONCLUSIONS: 1.

Revision to the elisting Ne~v Hanover County Conditional Use Permit which is currently e~:ecuted and construction underway. Dear Mr. Avery: Thank you for your continuing assistance on the proposed revision to the above Conditional Use Permit. Please accept the enclosed submission as our next step in the approval process to formally submit our concept and revision on No~,~ember 2, 1998 to the NHCo. Planning Commission. Enclosed you will find a copy of the formal request for the change of use for the property currently in use as The Wilmington Shipyard. This approach to the final use of the waterfront land was reached after much discussion with the investors and other interested groups. We understand that submission for Monday November 2, 1998 will be heard by the NHCo. Planning Commission on Thursday December 3, 1998. If the NHCo. Planning Commission approves the proposed changes adding "increased green concept with Marine Center", then the NHCo. Commissioners will be asked for their approval on Monday January 4, 1999. 42 ~ BRAY ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING AND INTERIORS Randall Bray, AIA, NCARB November 2, 1998. Page 2 of 3 As of this date, we have been unable to achieve the City's commitment on our NHCo. approved sewer. At the present time, our site has City water and a septic system sufficient for seventy-five (75) to one hundred and twenty (120) units, but this s}'stem is not sufficient for the total proposed project. Therefore, this revised plan has added the request to build an on-site water treatment recirculating sand filter system which has zero off-site discharge. This s}'stem would, of course be an approved and engineered system as now used throughout the country. The revised plan increases the original green nature area of seven (7) acres by over ten and a half (10.5) additional acres to a new green area total of seventeen and a half (17.5) acres, a green area increase of one hundred and fifty percent (15090). The plan also includes fifteen (15) floating house units in existing approved Marina slips which would cover approximately eight and one half percent (8.590) of the Marina water area. The County Planning Department, County Zoning and Building Code at this time have provisions for this type of floating structure. These units, alon;~ with the tax benefits derived from placing land into a wetland conservatory will generate the profit necessary to complete the revised plan as now proposed. The revised land use plan will accomplish the following: 1. Holds the Marina portion to the same size as the existing conditional use permit and reduces the boat slips from 113 to 91. 2. Eliminates 41 land based residential units. 3. The owners will donate approximately 17.5 acres to the Wetland Conservatory. 4. The owners will donate approximately ??5 acres of land plus water access as needed for use by the following: a. Cape Fear, UNC-Wand Cape Fear Academy Rowing Clubs fib.

Please add these comments to the official record for the public comments. I have enclosed copies for the members of the Planning Board. Almont Shipping Terminals' site plan remains unchanged from the original rezoning request. It is critical that any site plan continue to include a covenant in the deed that would be binding upon all future owners, stating that the purchaser acknowledged they were moving into an industrial area, and most likely the industries in the area will continue to exist and operate. Although this covenant has been included, Almont must remain opposed to the rezoning because of the drastic nature of the change in zoning. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Please call if there are any questions about this letter. Sincere~m, Sidney H. Camden Vice President and General Manager 46 ~ One Hanover Street P.O.

Your offer to provide a floating dock and facilities for boat storage, classroom space, showers, and toilets is very generous and indicative of a high degree of concern for low-impact marine activities on the Cape Fear River. We would like to pursue these preliminary discussions in more detail with you. This offer could not have come at a more opportune time since it appears that the Rowing Club will be forced to move from our present location due to the sale of the property. As you know, we have also outgrown our present single-bay boathouse and were actively investigating new locations where we could build adouble-bay boathouse. This growth has occurred not only from our own membership increases, but also from the growth of the hvo other rowing clubs that share our facilities: the UNCW Rowing Club, and the Cape Fear Academy Rowing Club. Both of these affiliated clubs are growing rapidly, especially Cape Fear Academy. We hope that Cape Fear Academy's fledgling efforts will generate interest among some of the local High Schools as well. A Youth Rowing Program is something we would like to see on the river. A larger boathouse would also allow us to provide storage for kayakers and canners as well. Our hope is that several types of unpowered boating activities can come together in this one facility, thereby reaching a critical mass that will allow us to expand finances, membership and community support. Your proposed Center for Environmental, Historical and Marine Activity will also be beneficial, eve believe, in generating the synergy between organizations with like interests. This development is entirely in keeping with the best uses of the river from a «-ide range of differing viewpoints. This sort of offer from a commercial entity is very rare, representing an outstanding gesture of goodwill to the community. Once again, let me say that the Cape Fear River Rowing Club is very appreciative and looking forward to working out the details of this offer with you. Yours truly, David R.W.

RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Planning Board recommends approval with modifications. FUNDING SOURCE: ATTACHMENTS: 2 • ITEM DOES NOT REQUIRE REVIEW COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS/COMMENTS: • COUNTY COMMIS. LONERS APPROVED .r~ ~~REJECTED ~~~ RCMOVED: D , ~ROSTPONELI U; ~ 5 3 'HEARD =.(~ ~DA~E ITEM 5.8 SA-293, 1/99 Subdivision Text Amendment; Construction Plan Drawings & Addressing '~ Planning Board Summary After listening to several speakers concerning the logistics of land development as well as a utility company representative explain their review procedures, the Board voted unanimously to reject the amendment proposal as submitted. In support of that decision, the Board reasoned that addresses could just as easily be assigned after the preliminary plan was approved provided approved street names were included with the plan. They agreed with speakers that it would be costly and unnecessary to produce detailed construction plans just to obtain addresses. Staff pointed out the proposal was merely an option, that obtaining an address could be handled the way it is currently, which is based on final plats or more expeditiously if the developer wanted street addresses before building permits were issued. Staff also noted that preliminary plans become moving targets, making it very difficult to ensure great accuracy for assigning numbers when the plan is likely to change. Despite Stafl s concerns, the Board went a step further by recommending the relevant ordinance(s) be amended to require that addresses be issued immediately after the preliminary plan is approved by the TRC provided acceptable street names have been established. The vote for that recommendation was unanimous. ~, Staff Summary Question: Should the County require construction plans be submitted and approved prior to the issuance of street addresses in new developments? Historically, the issuance of permanent street addresses for lots in new developments hinge on the approval of a final plat (recording document) by the County. The issuance of a street address allows the developer the ability to apply for electrical service and other vital utility hook-ups. In a few exceptional situations, building permits are issued after preliminary site plan approval. In the absence of an address, lot numbers displayed on the approved preliminary site plan are used as temporary numbers or reference points for County Inspectors, Tax Appraisers, utility companies and developers until the final plat has been submitted and approved. Typically, the gap between preliminary site plan approval and final plat approval can be quite long, sometimes months depending on the developer's marketing of the project and finances. As a result, a small number of residential dwellings or other structures are built without a valid street address to properly identify their location. Concern°.==-~ ~~ ~~;~° ~~t .~ Several developers;andutil~ty companies have suggested that the County issue permanent street addresses dunrig the.,prehminary site plan approval phase of any new project. This procedure as ~ J 54 opposed to us~ing~a lot`number during the preliminary phase would facilitate the building permit n ~n~i ,. application process, eliminate a step in data entry, and provide better location information. The proposed text amendment requiring construction plan drawings after preliminary site plan approval would effectively guarantee that most utilities (including electricity) would be installed, roads would be rough graded, and lot corners surveyed and staked according to construction plan approval. This amendment would also obligate the developer to begin installing improvements in accordance with the approved construction plans and reduce the chance of a revised preliminary site plan or final plat that may result in the modification or aberration of street numbers already established. Presently, construction plans and profile drawings are only required for the County's sewer and water systems. Existing Ordinance: 32-4 Building Permits May Be Issued After Preliminary Plan Approval Building permits may be issued after approval of the preliminary plan by the Planning Board. Such preliminary approval shall in no way alter the requirements that the final plat be recorded in the Office of the Register of Deeds prior to the sale or lease of land or buildings within the subdivision. Replace 32-4 with the following: . 32-4 Construction Plans, Profile and Detail Drawings Following approval of the preliminary plan, the subdivider shall prepare 2 sets of construction plan drawings depicting the accurate location of all utilities, drainage, roads, lots and other information that may be required by County Engineering or appropriate agencies. The construction plans shall delineate the required improvements to be installed and shall include sufficient calculations and details to insure proper construction. After approval of the construction plans by County Engineering, the County Planning Department will issue permanent street addresses for the lots depicted on the drawings. Building permits may be issued after approval of the construction plans. Such preliminary approval shall in no way alter the requirements that the final plat be recorded in the Office of the Register of Deeds prior to the sale or lease of land or buildings within the subdivision. 55 n [This page intentionally left blank) 56 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION .~ Meeting Date: 02/01/99 Regular Item #: 5.9 Estimated Time: Page Number: Department: Planning Presenter: Dexter Hayes Contact: Sam Burgess SUBJECT: Subdivision Appeal (SA-14,.11/98) BRIEF SUMMARY: Request by SANCO of Wilmington Service Corp. to appeal the decision by the Planning Board's Technical Review Committee to deny approval of Grand Bay @ Beau Rivage for 78 units.

Grand Bay is located on the west side of River Road, south of Sanders Road across from Beau Rivage. The TRC's decision to deny the project was based on site alteration of the natural topography (100 year flood line) in order to achieve a greater cluster density of 2.5 units per acre. This alteration of the site for the purpose of increasing density is inconsistent with the County's adopted 1993 Lane Use Plan. (See atttached letter.and other support material.)

Denial of the project by the TRC was based . on the modification of the sites' natural topography and the 100 year flood line displayed as Conserti~ation in the. County's Land Use Plan in order to obtain a cluster density greater than 2.5 units per acre. Based on the County's adopted 1993 Land Use Plan, areas designated as Conservation generally include all marshes and adjacent lands within the 100 year floodplain. The intent of the Conservation designation for property such as this is to provide for long term . management and protection of significant, limited or irreplaceable natural resources. Exceptional developments preserving natural features are permitted; however, the residential density should never exceed 2.5 units per acre. Alternatives ~~~ere suggested by the TRC. One suggestion - was to modify Grand Bay.to reflect a total number of 50 units (2.5 units x 20 buildable acres on site). The redesign to 50 units would more accurately reflect other marsh or waterfront development in the County in accordance with current Land Use Policy. 59 DEXTER L HAYES Planning Director May 15,-1998 Mr. Nathan Sanders SANCO of Wilmington P.O.

Site Plan) Dear Mr. Sanders: In regular session on May 13, 199S, the Planning Board's Technical Review Committee (TRC) voted 3-2 'to deny the above referenced site plan for 78 units. This decision by the TRC is in accordance with section 32-3 (b) of the County's Subdivision Regulations. Grand Bay is part of Beau Rivage, a performance residential development approved by the County in May, 1986 for 1;153 units. The Grand Bay section was considered as a revision to the. Beau Rivage project. Density transfers within the Beau Rivage site is permissible through design approval by the TRC. This property is .located on the west side of River Road across from Cathay Road near the \~Ioilterey Heights ~developmerit. In rendering their decision, there vas a great deal of discussion relating to the modification of the sites natural topography and the 100 year flood line (displayed as `'conservation'' in the County's Land Use Plan) in order to obtain a cluster density level greater than 2.5 units per acre. According to the County's 1993 Land Use Plan, areas designated as "conservation" generally include all marshes ands adjacent lands within the 100 year floodplain. The intent of the "conservation" designation for property such as this is to provide for long term r»anagement and protection of significant, limited or irreplaceable natural resources. Exceptional developments preserving natural features are permitted; however; the residential densit}' should never exceed 2.5 units per acre. Altering an area designated as `'conservation'' by adjusting the natural topography for the purposes of increasing density is inconsistent with the County's adopted Land Use Policies. J `) 60 Grand Bay Lttr. (Cont'd) As an alternative, the TRC Chairman suggested that Grand Bay be redesigned to reflect a total number of units of 50 (2.5 units x 20 acres on site). If redesigned to 50 units, the project would more accurately reflect other marsh or waterfront development in the County in accordance with Land Use ,Policy and hopefitlly reduce the amount of impervious surfaces. If redesign is not a choice, the decision by the TRC may be appealed to the Board of County Commisioners at which time they may affirm, modify, supplement, or remand the proposed plan back to the TRC. If appealed, a letter requesting such must be mailed to Lucie Harrell; Clerk to the Board, 320 Chestnut Street, Wilmington, ITC 2801. • • Attending the meeting were: James Wolle, TRC Chairman; Joyce Fernando, Rodney Harris, Kirk Davy and Bob Murphy, TRC members; Adam Rahhal, County Engineer; Kemp Burpeau, Assistant County Attorney; William Grathwol, developer; Greg Wayne and John Jernigan; Hanover Design; Gar}- Shipman, Attorney; members of the Planning staff and you.

Neal Lewis CLP, Parks Director Land and Water Conservation Fund Legislation Date: January 11, 1999 There is legislation pending before the Congress. which could have a significant impact on the ability of Iocal governments to acquire and develop parks, recreational facilities and open space. That legislation would resurrect the matching grant program known. as. LWCF (the Land and .Water Conservation Fund). Thirty-five years ago, the original LWCF matching grant program was created with the philosophy that the revenue from the sale of our country's natural resources (particularly oil from the outer continental shelf) could be used to acquire and develop resources that would provide future generations with places to play, explore and relax. For over twenty years, this program provided funding to accomplish this goal at the federal, state and local level. In the mid-1980's, funding for the stateside matching grants was eliminated from the program. This legislation would restore that matching grant funding. At the local level, public parks and recreation agencies were able to apply for 50% matching funds from moneys allocated to each state for acquisition and development projects. In New Hanover County, LWCF funds were used for park facilities at Hugh MacRae Park (3 Grants), Castle Hayne Park, Arrowhead Park, Snow's Cut Park, Parkwood Recreation Area, King's Grant Park, Trask Middle School and Blair Elementary School. This allowed the County to build these facilities at half of what it would have cost. The current legislation before the Congress is in the form of two bills, one in the Senate and one in the House of Representatives. The Senate Bill is titled the "Reinvestment and Environmental Restoration Act." The House Bill is titled the "Conservation and Reinvestment Act." The difference in the two bills is the distribution formula. The Senate bill would allocate a slightly lower percentage of the funds to the state for the matching grant program. The state of North Carolina would receive an allocation of approximately $5-10 Million per year, depending on which formula is used. Both bills distribute other funds to the federal government for purchase of land, to the coastal states for a variety of project,~s°and~to urban ~,areasffor~park development. Local Pazks and Recreation.,Departments have been asked to request that their governing bodies endorse this legislation and contact their Congressional delegation to express their support. At this 9 8 point in time, endorsement of a`specific bill is not necessary, since the final bill will be drawn up by ~,~+~. . '` - _ ~ i ti NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS .

The Committee's purpose is to make funding .recommendations to the Board for non-county, human services agencies that receive General Fund dollars. The newly ;established Juvenile Crime Prevention Council will oversee programs that target at-risk or adjudicated youth. Currently, the membership of the HSAAC consists of 13 members. Six of the members are agency representatives from DSS, Health Department, Juvenile Court, County Schools, Southeastern Center for Mental Health, and United Way. The remaining seven members are citizens appointed by the Board. I recommend that the HSAAC be reduced by two members. The spaces allocated for the Juvenile Court representative and one citizen could be eliminated. Juvenile Court will be represented on the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council. By reducing the Committee's membership, it may simplify the coordination efforts needed without negatively impacting the decision making of the Committee.
