Eire Comrriission and the Board of County , Commissioners. This company was selected by the County to conduct a thorough review of all aspects of the fire protection system serving the New, Harouer County Fire Service District: Among other objectives, the consultants'. were asked fo study the feasibility. of some form of unification or consolidation of the district's eight individual fire departments and whether any such effort could improve our efficiency. ' The report from ESCG contained a wide variety of recommendations and suggestions, ranging from issues involving equipment and stations to strategic planning and capital. improvements. On the issue of unification, the consultants were quite clear in their belief that the community would benefit from a fire protection system that functioned as a single operating organization. In addition to the consultant's opinion, the research survey conducted as a part of the study indicated surprisingly wide acceptance of the concept by those county firefighters who responded. It is important to recall that ESCG considered various forms of organizational unification in the study; rariging from simple automatic'aid agreements to a full-blown merger. The specific course of action recommended, however, was a functional consolidation. The consultants note that such an arrangement differs from a, full merger in that it offers a wide variety of efficiencies and advantages of a larger organization, improved planning and ' administration, and better utilization of resources and personnel while still allowing the various agencies to retain many aspects of their individual identity and autonomy. ~ Giveilftlie strong recommendations of the consulting firm and following f t~1 UL•3~A ~~~ ~, ~,~.;,~. y~~~~~ ~ a revlew o material presented m the study, the Fire Commission has embraced the concept of a more ivied fire prlotectii~~. ~t~e~m and determined to take the next step in the process of examining tether functional consolidation is right for New Hanover County.

It is the work of this Interagency Committee, and the resulting implementation plan, which will ultimately determine whether functional consolidation can be made to work here and whether it will, in fact, accomplish an improvement to our system's ability to deal with impending growth and change. The Fire Commission's action took the form of a "Resolution of Joint Statement of Vision". The Fire Commission would like the Board of County. Commissioners to consider .the adoption of a similar resolution. An example resolution has been included for your convenience, but please feel free to make changes or modifications as necessary. The resolution does not commit to ANY specific course of action, but merely indicates your commitment for New Hanover County and its fire department to fully participate as an active part of the Interagency Committee and the effort to develop a viable plan that we can all consider on its individual merits.

POLLARD City Attorney PENELOPE SPICER-SlDBURY City Cleric TO: City Council FROM: Mayor DATE: 5/14/98 SUBJECT: Mayor's Program Objectives Since my election I have planned to address programs and issues upon which we need to take action. Because of the uncertainty of the last remaining elected seat, I have delayed this letter until now, as it appears we're finally close to a fully elected body. Please understand that as the Mayor it is proper to provide guidance and direction to the Council on programs and issues. 1 strongly suggest we address the following program subjects within this calendar year: 1) District Elections: I have had staff do some preliminary work and it is felt that a combination of district and at-large elections would work best. After we discuss this, I plan to introduce a resolution directing the City Attorney to put together a draft plan since it would require a charter amendment. 2) Ground Water: We should proceed with directing staff to plan for one or more wells in the Sweeney Plant area that can he used to supplement our surface water storage. In case of an environmental spill upstream, combined with certain factors, we would have to stop pumping and our reserve capacity would be challenged. 3) Combining of City and County Planning: Some segments of the two departments should be combined for overall efficiency and improved citizen service. They were once combined and we should formally accelerate current staff level discussions of such work. City of Wilmington City Hail 4) Combining of City and County Parks (not recreation at this Post Office Box 1810 wiimington, worth Carolina time): With the current Legion Stadium Commission discussion of 28402 the future ownership of that facility, the Council should conside~~ 910341-7815 } i combining of the Parks function to insure a more equitable tax cost sharing. arket treet ~Overla We once .considered such ari o' tion 5) M Y r during discussions of the rezoning at 10th and Market. ~L.have seen no aesthetic improvements, although we were led to believe some would be made by businesses along Market Street. The money that was spent on improving the median justifies stronger control measures. 6) Neighborhood Joint Action Teams: I believe that a 2 to 3 block ~ r" walk-thru tour by council members, city manager's staff, .planning, code enforcement, police and fire, would result in documentation and attention to improvements that would greatly increase neighborhood. quality of life issues. 7) Legislation on Sharing of Telephone Communication Towers: With two cellular services and one DCS service in our city, tower ~ l,-! proliferation has increased, We're restricted as to what powers we do have to control tower construction,. but I believe that legislation;, re uirin future service roviders yes there are more to come ,to - ~-% q g P (} ) :share existing towers would be in the best interests of the community. Wilmington should be a ,model for such control. 8) Fass~nger Rail Service:.;We should establish a policy in support of such, service and formally document the protection of the abandoned rail line that terminates at North Front Street. .~ 9) Annexation. Law Changes: We should support the League of Municipalities' suggested modifications to the annexation law in order` to correct inconsistencies that have arisen due to urban sprawl. 10) Sidewalk Program: We should establish a formal Council . policy on where and how to build sidewalks. Methods of payment also need to be clarified. Certain neighborhoods, such as Pine Valley and Glen Meade, critically need amajor connecting strategy in order to provide paths for children and recreation for adults. 26 The other major issue of City-County Water/Sewer utility service is being discussed at the Utility Committee level and should be coming_to Council for consideration This month. .. ~. The opportunities I have listed can stand by themselves or serve as abridge to other ideas. Whatever the path, I believe our citizens ,~ will be much better served if we act favorably on these programs. Sincerely Hamilton E.

Non-residential development is permitted provided important natural resources, are not impacted. Planning Board Summary After hearing lengthy comments from the public, `the Board could not reach a consensus.'Their vote ended in deadlock. (3 to 3) Those supporting the petition argued that the longterm use of the property given current development trends favored some form ofnon-residential use. Those in opposition felt the site was too large for open-ended zoning and feared rezoning would open the door for similar zoning across the street on the Parker farm tract. The Board. also asked the applicant if his client would be willing to consider conditional use zoning. He declined, saying the added expense without any real assurance for approval made that option unrealistic. The applicant's attorney argued that current development trends made the site unappealing for development under current zoning. He also pointed out that State stormwater requirements.and NCDOT policies for curb cuts would mollify concerns about run-off and traffic congestion. Several neighborhood associations spoke in opposition.:They told the Board that rezoning was . inconsistent with the Land Use Plan, was too open-ended, and would undemurie efforts to maintain Military Cut-off as a scenic highway. They also felt the applicant had failed to demonstrate a compelling need to rezone the property. Staff Summary This property or portions thereof has been the subject of six previous rezoning petitions since 1989, with the most recent occurring in June 1997. Those cases are summarized as follows: Date Case 7/89: R-.15 and R-20 to PD: DENIED 11/90 R-1~S andRj2Q~'~`to~PD~~DEI~IED, Withdrawn 7/92: RJIl S and R-20 to'~B'=~2~and~0-I: APPROVED small area of O-I only. N ~,.~_A_ 5/95: 0-I to B-1 APPROU4E~D`~'~ 8/95: R ~15 to B 1 nd ~ I~:I~APPROVED with slight modification to the B-1 line. ~7,; R-1,~5 to OI a~ci-~1~DENIED L~, r. t4~~.i~l ~9~'~~ In the 1995 etition for B-1 and O-I the Board concluded that the re P quest would be consistent with the Land Use Plan and the emerging land use pattern in the area. However, it also decided that continued linear expansion along Military Cut-off might be difficult to justify under current policies aimed at limiting strip commercial development. As a result, the Board decided that the northernmost commercial expansion should end at the boundary line of the County library ~~ property. (See Map) It also decided in that case that the land adjacent to the library (south side) should be zoned O-I instead of B-1 as requested by the applicant to promote a smoother land use .transition. The stance taken in the 1995 petition was the primary reason the County denied the applicant's petition in June of last year. Since that decision last year very little has changed. The rezonings to the south of the subject property paved the way for new retail facilities now being constructed on adjacent property A special use permit was granted for property in neighboring Landfall to construct a 200 unit assisted living care facility but to date no construction has commenced in that project. The Land Use Plan does not establish any clear limits on the ultimate size of the commercial node formed by the intersection of Military Cut-off and Eastwood Road, but certainly the node would be exaggerated or severely distorted if additional non-residential zoning, which alread occu ies y P nearly '/2 mile of road frontage north of Landfall, is allowed to expand another 1600 linear feet. Current Policies for Growth and Development strongly discourage strip commercial development and land use atterns that disru t the function of the ad~acent hiahwa -- a P p I ~ y movm~ traffic with limited interruptions. It is clear that the application as presented would have a difficult time complying with that limitation. While O-I has been frequently used to establish transitional land uses between heavy commercial uses and established residential uses, there is no demonstrated ~ need to establish such a large area of transition. The applicant contends that the property is not particularly suited for development under its current zoning due to its proximity to the Landfall commercial node and the main highway. Military Cut-off no doubt makes some residential development less appealing due to heavy traffic and the ill effects associated with that. And it may worsen when the highway is widened to four lanes. While there are certainly some negative aspects associated with residential development along busy thoroughfares, there is ample evidence in the County to suggest that residential projects can be done successfully along these roads. Higher density projects seem to have the most success, but lower density has been successful too. Two recent examples of that are Lucia Point, a new 53 lot subdivision adjoining and north of the subject property and Seaspray Landing, a patio home community on the west side of Military Cut-off approved for 109 lots. There is no reason to believe this property couldn't have similar success. For the tract in question, this is, particularly true because of its overall size. Encompassing about ~5 acres, the site would be eligible for about 212 dwelling units. Also, the site is large enough to accommodate needed density while allowing room for screening and buffering to mitigate the impacts created by the adjacent highway. In addition to the strip development issue, another problem raised by this petition is a total lack of site control The request is for general use rezoning, which means the County will have little control over the number of access points, the general traffic circulation, or the site's ultimate n~~ of land uses: Overloading the adjacent hi hwa . with a curb-cut eve 50 to 10'0 f g Y ry eet will destroy the •road's,primary .function to move,traffic efficiently: A final issue of concern is the unknown im 'ac r p t a la ge impervious area generated by rion- residential development would have on-local water quality. A large part of this`'property is located in the Howe Creek watershed, :.one of the County's higher quality rated creeks. It is classified SA(ORW). . , ~ ... For these reasons, Staff recommends denial. `" ~ ,~ ,. 1' r . ,. ,. .... . f • i t. ~ f F 36 WHAT YOU MUST ESTABLISH TO GET A CHANGE OF ZONING OF PROPERTY Your intended use of property upon rezoning is completely irrelevant, except for conditional use district proposals. The North Carolina General Statutes require that zoning regulations shall be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan. Since amendments to zoning maps should also be based on a Land Use Plan, you must explain in the space below how your request satisfies each of the follow- ing requirements. 1. How would the requested change be consistent with the Count}''s Policies for Gro~S•tlt and Development? This propcm• proposed for re-zoning fronts the Earl side of Militap' Cut-0C(Road in Utc Special Hight~;ry Overlay District adjacent (o the C.andC,~ll Dcvclopmcnt. The North side or the propcrt}' adjoins a proposed corucrvation area Utat will scparntc the property from the cxistingsing1e-family homes oC Lucia Point. Tlrc Northeast side of the propcriy adjoins Urc equipntcnl and tnaintcnancc facititics proposed for Urc Landfall Dcvclopmcnt as a part of the L.•urdfall Village assisted living project. Tlrc Southeast boundary oC Urc property adjoins Urc perimeter fence and buffer pl.•trtncd for Icn golf course residcntial lots proposed by Landfall. Continuing along Urc Southerst boundnty, Utc property adjoins Ute Landfall conservation area and CP&L transmission line. The Southt~rst side of the property is currently under dcvcloprcnt for business and oCliee uses. Tlrc requested change is consistent with the County's Politics for Growth and Dcvclopmcnt because it allows the property to achieve its highest and best use of office and institutional white also being compatible with Urc surrounding land uses and not adversely impacting Ute natural resources. See Figure 1. 2. How would the requested zone change be consistent with the property's classification on the Land Classification \•Iap? The 1993 updated Land Classification Map classified the property as Resource Protection. According to policy 3.2(I) OfTice and institutional dcvclopmcnt is considered appropriate land usage adjacent to residcntial dcvclopmcnt provided that design, scale and uses arc compatible. Resource Protection as described in the Land Classifications section of the Politics for Growth and Dcvclopmcnt allows commercial (and industrial) dcvclopmcnt within the Resource Protection class as long as important resources arc not adversely impacted. Urban services such as water and sewer arc present at the property, No important resources will be adversely impacted by this rezoning. 3. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to male the original zoning inappropriate, or how is the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning? Since the land was originally zoned R-15 and R-20 in 1972, significant neighborhood 'changes have occurred. The dcvclopmcnt of the Landfall area of the County has occurred. ~~ratcr and sewer utilities have been cstcndcd to the property. With the commercial activity along the South side of the property, the contintfcd widening of lvlilitaq' Cut-off Road, the natural buffer and wetland protection along the North side at Lucia Point, the cquipmcnl and maintenance facititics on the Northeast side and the manmade and natural buffers along the Southeast side, the propcrt}' is no longer suitable for residcntial uses permitted undcrthc existing zoning. In signing this petition, I understand that the existing zoning map is presumed to be correct and that I have the burden of proving why a change is in the public interest. I further understand that the sin- glint out of one parcel of land for special zoning treatment unrelated to County policies and the surrounding neighborhood would probably be illegal. I certify that all the information presented in this application is accurate to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. ~~~ ~ 37 .~_ _..

Lawrence Fried., President, Pepper Tree HOA , S t b Milit t C ff R i u jec : ary u o ezon ng Request Our community is against the requested zoning change from Residential to General use O&I. This property is in a Resource Protection Area and also includedin a Special Highway Overlay District. The assignment of low density residential to this and the " adjacent areas was considered the best use for this land when originally zoned. The recent development of Lucia Point,. a 53-lot subdivision and SeaSpray a 109 lot subdivision clearly demonstrates the suitability of residential zoning along the Military Cutoff corridor. Thee success of Covil Estates containing Key Colony, Snug Harbor, Pepper Tree, Wessex and Vantage Point developments", in excess of 250 homes also demonstrates the successful. use of the land for residential purpose. The owners that purchased in these developments have considered the zoning in the surrounding areas as part of their purchase decision.. They have a right to believe that the zoning will remain unchanged. Our communities support the current County policy for limiting strip development and land use that would disrupt ..traffic flow on mayor arteries. Military Cutoff is clearly .a major traffic artery and would undergo severe bottlenecks with development of properties with many entrances and -exits on the road. We also believe that it would be in the best interest of the County to hold off approving zoning .changes while the Joint City and County 1998 Land Use Plan is in work. The requested general use zoning will limit the control the County will have for use of the land. This property is situated within the"Howe Creek Watershed, one of the higher quality rated creeks in the County. The impact of large areas of impervious surface will-have a detrimental effect on the water quality. ~. ~~ 39 The County has denied the applicant's petition for rezoning on several occasions and little has changed since the last denial in June 1.997. We strongly .urge the Planning Board to reject this proposal. On behalf of the communities within Covil estates,' we thank the Planning Board for providing, us ,t his opportunity to speak against this rezoning. Sincerely, Lawrence .Fried 40 ~' ,.

ACREAGE: 30+/- LOCATION: 4200 Block of Blue Clay Road LAND CLASS: Limited Transition- Identifies areas where increased development is likely to occur. Residential density should be no more than 2.~ units per~acre. The use of clustering and planned developments is,encouraged. Planning Board Summary The Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of'a modified. version of the petition as submitted. Specifically, they recommended that only the land north of the planned Wilmington By-pass be rezoned to I-2. The balance of the tract located south of the new .road and north'of Northchase was recommended to retain its current R-15 designation. The petitioner's attorney asked the Board to include the Trask property south of the planned road because it wouldn't be landlocked like the neighboring Goffproperty. The Board declined, noting that establishing industrial zoning adjacent to established residential uses would encourage land use conflicts that do not now exist. ; , . , Two adjacent property owners told the Board they were very concerned with the establishment of heavy industrial zoning contiguous with residential-uses. They felt the property south'ofthe planned road should be developed with compatible transition uses, such as offices or residential. However, they were less concerned with the type of zoning north of the.planned road, although one owner said he would be more comfortable with a lesser intense zoning classification. The applicants' attorney told the Board that the existing I-2 boundary was arbitrary and that it would be consistent with the Land Use Plan to change the zoning as requested. He also noted that. it wasn't until recently that the current owners knew their property wasn't zoned I-2. Staff' Summary The existing I-2 Heavy Industrial District located to the west was established in July 1972 as part of the or~g~n~l zorr ng for the area. Prior to that time, the area was unzoned. The easternmost ~ ~~~ ~ bo;undary,'~t~o~the~I 2~aiea~was established by drawing a line 2500 feet from and parallel to N. College Road. ~a~i`esu~it of that method, the district excluded a onion of the Trask ro ert which has been included in this petition. The Trask property encompasses the majority of the ~ ~ii~4t~A'~1311 larger I-2 District to the west. Although much of the land has been zoned I-2 Industrial for ~ ~~~ twenty-six y~ars, it.~ha~s~~~mained undeveloped due to a lack of public services and the lack of demand foi- industnal,~si.tes. Presently, portions of the district located along the north side of T~t!~~T,err A en.. u a~e being developed for commercial services and related uses. ..~ 1 1 1 1 1 .Policies for Growth and Development encourage the development of industrial uses and related activities because they can increase and diversify the area's economic base and work force and. they provide opportunities for greater upward mobility. However, the polices seek to limit industrial activities that are not compatible with residential and commercial sectors as well as sensitive natural areas:. For the most part, the area proposed for rezoning does not appear to involve wetlands or other sensitive environmental features. However, NorthChase, a Planned Development located to the south, represents the largest residential presence in this area. Any major industrial enterprise at this location could result in many negative impacts for-those neighborhoods.. The single largest impact on the area in the near future will be the construction of the Wilmington By-pass (a.k.a. the Outer Loop). This planned road crosses the subject properties, leaving the southern portion of the Goff tract cut off from its current access to Blue Clay Road. As a result, . some of that property may be purchased by the State. A road stub to the south from NorthChase would provide a potential access, but that isn't likely to increase the development appeal of the tract. Amore practical use of this area would be as a buffer to minimize impacts on the residential development in NorthChase. Construction on the By-pass interchange at I-40, which is located to the east, is expected to start this December--right-of--way acquisition is already underway. - While the proximity of the subject properties to existing I-2 Zonirig and the proposed By-pass seems to diminish the appeal to develop under current residential zoning, that shouldn't be the sole reasons to rezone the land. Too often the County has rezoned property,' sometimes for a singular purpose, without more carefully considering how the general area might be affected. The resulting land use pattern is usually nondescript, further fueling the approval of similar zoning. This is a difficult cycle to break and leads to long-term land use conflicts. . Obviously, there is an ample ..amount of vacant I-2 Industrial property already available along Blue Clay. Road. In light of the pending by-pass construction and not knowing where the exact boundary of the right-of--way will be located, the wholesale change for all of this property is probably premature. When the right-of--way is identified, Staffwould recommend that the I-2 District stop at the northern boundary of the constructed road'. 47 WHAT YOU MUST ESTABLISH TO GET A CHANGE.

LAND CLASS: Rural- Encourages low density residential development not to exceed 2:5 units per'acre where urban services cannot be economically provided except'for ` ' industrial, agricultural and forestry activities. The classification does riot discuss the development of business and commercial services. Planning Board Summary Citing current development trends along this stretch of Market Street and surrounding•and nearby zoning, the Board voted unariimously to recommend approval of the petition as submitted. The applicant told the Board he had been named Commissioner of the property by the Courts and would be overseeing its sale. He noted that adjacent commercial and light industrial uses and the long-term development trend along this area of Market Street had made the cuirenf R-IS 'zoning' designation undesirable. He said the highest and best use was commercial. One citizen said she wasn't sure if she' was for or against the request because the applicant had failed to describe the site's intended uses. She did say that if the use resulted in the typical unsightly commercial uses that routinely appear along the County's main highways, then she would be opposed to the request. In rebuttal, the applicant said the property's high cost all but eliminated someone from developing an unsightly use. He also said the SHOD requirements would provide additional site design standards. Staff Summary ~~ The subject property is currently located between a B-2 District to the north and CP&L's regional transmission and service headquarters. The CP&L property is zoned R-15 but was permitted through the issuance of a special use permit. Recently, CP&L petitioned to rezone the property to I-l, but that application is currently on hold as the applicant considers revising the petition for consideration under conditional use zoning. To date, a revised application has not been received. Neverthe-'less;~thetr power ~l~,y~s presence on the site appears to be long term. Communications to Staff, by the cornpany~indicate that they plan to phase out other service sites and use the propert°y adjacentto th~`e prop rty petitioned for rezoning for their regional service headquarters. ~~ The B-2 District to~then o tl`a: consists of a plumbing company, mini-storage and Porters Neck ~~~ ~;~ue.~-u r,a mid-sized shopp~~ng center. The shopping center was recently built. Lands across the ~~~~~~~ s r are zoned B-2 and I-lhL~ight Industrial and are predominantly vacant. Other nearby ` e~i`vrr~..~ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i i development inoludes a medical office, Light manufacturing and a retail nursery. While the Land Use Plan seeks to limit the haphazard expansion of commercial districts along the highway, it is clear the subject property's proximity to similar zoning and other non-residential uses has sharply diminished its appeal for continued residential use. Currently, the site is occupied by a single dwelling and because of the tract's size, additional dwellings could be built. However; that option seems remote in light of the existing land use pattern. Much of the surrounding property has been recently rezoned in anticipation of the interchange for the 17-Bypass. A critical question is the size of the commercial area being established and whether additional commercial land is even needed. Regardless of.the outcome for the pending rezoning of the adjacent CP&L property, and based on the. existing development pattern, rezoning seems appropriate. Staff routinely recommends denial of petitions that are inconsistent with the Land Use Plan, however, it would be impractical in this case because of the development trends that have been sanctioned for the area. .. 53 WHAT YOU ZVIUST ESTABLISH .TO GET A CHANGE OF ZONING OF' PROPERTY Your intended use of property upon rezoning is completely irrelevant, except for coriditioriai~use ~' district proposals. The North Carolina General Statutes require that zoning regulations shall be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan. Since amendments to zoning maps should also.be based on a ~ ~. Land Use Plan, you must explain in the space below'how your request satisfies each of the.. following requirements. © How would the requested change be consistent with the County's Policies for Growth and Devel- opment? The. adjoining properties to the.'right are-already zoned B-2. The properties directly across the street are zoned B-2 and I-1. The adjoining property to the left, vhi~le zoned R-15 ,' is oiined by Carolina Poc+er S Light with the back side of the property being used as a sarehouse/distribution center. ~Rezoning'the subject property to B-2 would be consistent c+ith the Counl'y's gr.ocith plans for the area. ® How would the requested zone change be consistent with the property's classification on the Land Classification Map? Rezoning the subject property to B-2 s~ould match the current zoning of the properties located to the right and across the street from the subject property. Rezoning the site crould provide a more consistent.Land Classification Map since the property currently abuts a B-2 zoned property. ® 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? a. Rapid residential and commercial'grouth to the northern end.of the county has created a need for commercial uses along the Market Street corridor to the point ~+here the surrounding properties Dave already been 'rezoned to I-1 and B-2 zoned uses. b. To continue to use the site for residential purposes ~+ould not be in the best interest of the land oc+ner since the properties to the right and across the street already have a commercial/industrial zoning, and the property to the left is being used for a distribution/Warehouse facility. The "highest and best use" of the site Would be those uses permitted on a B-2 zoned site. In signing this petition, I understand that the existing zoning map is presumed to be correct and that I ~ have the burden of proving why a change is in the public interest. I further understand that the singling out of one parcel of land for special zoning treatment unrelated to County policies and the surrounding neighborhood would probably be illegal.

DATE: July 15, 1998 SUBJECT: Agenda Item- Fee Adjustment Recently, the County Commissioners approved an amended fee schedule for-fire inspections and permits utilized by our Fire Marshal's Division. Included in this amended schedule was a $35.00 fee for required inspections of foster care homes. We are now asking the Commissioners to waive this fee for those foster care homes sponsored by the Department of Social Services. While it is our opinion that this fee fairly reflects the expense involved in performing the required inspections, it has resulted in a situation in which DSS is being asked to reimburse their sponsored foster care homes for this fee. This, in effect, ,creates a payment from one government department to another and was not`the intention of the original fee schedule. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
