}:~ S5 ALTERNATTV'ES CONSIDERED ~ ~~
y . ~ Initial studies identified 36 preliminary bu' • ~ ~` ~ .: ~. ~~
°~ ~ ~ old alternatives.. A screecun evaluation was conducted'on~
.~., the 36 alternatives in order to identify those alignments to be Gamed forward in the study. Multi-
`~ ': modal and Transportation System Management alternatives were also considered.' These .alternatives
:°r::; are discussed in more detail in Sections 2.1.1; 2.1.2, and 2.1.3.
~. . ,
Ultimately, two corridors, designated the Southern and NorthernN,Alternatives, were selected as . ~~
reasonable; and. feasible build alternatives. These two .build .alternatives and the No-Build Alternative
. ~ ._
`are evaluated in this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), xhibit S-1 shows the two build.
alternative ~ ,. ~ , .., . ~ _ :. , - ~~.
Based on early coordination and the results, of environmental studies; the NCDOT has identified the
Southern Alternative as the Preferred Alternative -,(NCDOT, personal. communication, 19946).
~. , ~ .
However;. in accordance with FHWA guidelines, the "final selection of an alternative will not be made
until the alternatives' impacts and comments on the draft EIS and from'the public hearing have been
fully evaluated" (FHWA, 1987:16).
4 ..
The Southern Alternative would more effectively fulfill.the purpose ofthe'project, which is to`provide
more efficient access for. through-traffic! traveling past the' City of Wilmington. The Southern
Alternative is the shortest path for US-17 through-traffic and, when modeled, results indicate that 100
percent of these through trips would use thi's alternative"`(NCDOT, personal ,communication, 19946).
The Southern Alternative 'also has the gfficial support of the New Hanover County Board of
Commissioners and the Town of Leland ix
The natural resources, including.wetlands, which Ywould be impacted by,ihe.Northern Alternative are
ofgenerally higher quality than those within:the Southern Alternative since they are less disturbed and
less fragmented. -.,The natural communities within'the Southern ,Alternative'are: separated by areas of `
development, particularly.in the~Wrightsboro area. Along the Northern 'Alternative, the'areas of
natural communities are larger and more contiguous. The Northern Alternative would also impact . -
avirgin, old-growth forest area (NC Department of Environment, Health; and Natural Resources' '
[DEHNRJ, personal communication, 1994x). The Southern Alternative traverses less linear feet of
The Southern Alternative would have the least impact to'archaeological resources The Northern
Alternative includes four prehistoric sites:assessed as potentially eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places, and recommended for testing if impacted. The Northern Alternative ~is also 1.6 miles
longer. . .. . .

The 1972 Wilmington Transportation Study (W'dbur Smith and As ~'
to identify the need for a circumferential freeway around. the Ci ofw15;1972) was the first study,
of this recommended loop extended from US 17 in Brunswick Coun r?ungton. The northern half

. In the 1985 update of the Wilmington Transportation Study, a number of char e
'recommended northern outer loop corridor: Notably, the corridor was shined g s were made to the ..~
_~ account the extension ofI-40 northward to take rnto .
(NCDOT, 1986:Figure 9).. In addition, the recommended size of the ,
outer loop was downgraded from afour-lane freeway to a four-lane ex resswa
thoroughfare plan was established. for adjacent Brunswick Coun p y and a separate
t3' (NCDOT, 1986:59)..
Following adoption of the 1985 Wilmington Transportation' Stu ~ . ~~.?~ ^ .-~
Metropolitan Planning Organization dY. the Wilmington Urban Area :.,: .
(MPO) requested that the'northern outer loop project be added ~~,.;.
to the NCDOT's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). In November .198
outer~loop project was~added as a four-lane freeway to the 1990-1996 T 9, the northern ..
Bypass, and included as part of the US 1~7 Intrastate System; ~ ~ ~ ~ g'~ .renamed the Wilmington _, ~ ;

Q - _ ._
~ .~ .. . `
:; The 1990-1996 TIP also identified funding in fiscal year 1990 for a planning and environmental
impact study of the Wilmington Bypass. ,These studies were begun in August, 1990, for a roadway
• ~ extending west and south from I-40 to USA 17 in Brunswick County.; ,This roadway segment was
identified as TIP Project Number R-2633 (Wilmington Bypass).
s' ~ .
In 1994, Governor Hunt's Transporlalion 2001 plan (NCDOT; 1994x) recognized the immediate -:
need to relieve 'traffic congestion in downtown Wilmington .and. accelerated the schedule of
improvements to the `segment of the Wilmington Bypass which-extends from US 421: to;I-40. The ~•
new schedule for completion ~of this segment; is by 2001. The other segment of the bypass, from US
17 to US 421, is still planned in the TIP, butis scheduled for completion°at a,later date. Since only
`
~
~
the ro ect 2633 has been'divided into two
accelerated
art ofthe b ass construction has been
~
sections;:R-2633A/B'(US'17 to US 421) and R-2633C (US 421 to I-40),(NCDQT 1994b): The k=.
segment from US ~1~7 to US 421 (R-2633A/B) was not, accelerated since US 421 and US 17 on the
4
west side of Wilmington are expected to be able, to carry projected traffic for several years`before
~;
;.
congestion becomes as critical as.it ~s in;downtown Wilmington. ~,•,_ :, : _ ~~~ -
In order to accomplish "the revised schedule, the NCDOT, in, consultation F with the FI-iWA; .
deterrruned that two separate Environmental Impact Statements (EI5s) .should;.be prepared (NCDOT; ~"~
1994b). This EIS' addresses`the accelerated segment of the Wilmington Bypass project, ~R=2633C
(US 421 to I-40).
Although additional studies are under way to complete other. connecting portions of the US ~ 17
Intrastate Comdor (ZTP Projects R-2633AlB and R-2405),*the project's termini at US 421 and I-40 _
are logical endpoints. This proposed segment of-the Wilmington~Bypass (R2633C),4from~US 421 ~-
to I-40, would have independent utility. and rts construction would be a. reasonable expenditure ofy ".
funds,' even if no other improvements are made. The proposed project:is of sufficient length to+allow
for evaluation of environmental. issues on a broad basis~and it does not restrict consideration of other
alternatives: Based on previousM1 studies (Greiner,, Inc., 1991b), it does not appear that the existing '
environmental conditions directly.west of US 421 would,preclude future extension of ~ the Wilmington
...r .
Bypassoadway (TIP 2633A/B) from the termunus of either-build alternative proposed for project

-from US 42T to I-40, around the north side of .
the city of Wilmington. The DEIS describes
the purpose and need for the bypass, the
existing environmental conditions in the study
area, and the environmental impacts of the two ~ '
proposed build alternatives and a No-Build
alternative. .. ~ •
Since the last newsletter in June, 1994, the `
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) `
Project Number has changed. The section of
the Wilmington Bypass from US 421 to I-40
was previously referred to as TIP No. R-
2633B. This section 'of the bypass is now
identified as TIP No. R-2633C. -`

~. ;: ~ _,
The need •for a freeway `loop around Wilming"ton was .first 'identified
in-.the 1972 Wilmington Transportation Study`.. This study was ~ ~ '~
updated in 1985. In 1989., the project was added to the Department "
`of Transportation's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as ~ `
.the Wilmington .Bypass to eventually link-US. 17 north of Wilmington=
and US 17,.south of .Wilmington. -This project was included in the -
Intrastate Highway System adopted-by the General Assembly-in 1989:
Environmental studies were begun for this project in "August,~1990.~'
The project was broken into_several parts, one of which is the„a
project presented tonight. This portion is apart of the _~~'
i Governor'..s.Transportation 2001 plan, and,.as.such, is scheduled1to
be -completed in 2001.. ~ ,,,_ , ~:

' Public Information Workshops were held on November 29„, 1990, March`'
27, 1991, and on June 23, 1994 to allow public input into the ~ '
planning of.this project... Tonight's .public hearing is an -•• -r-•~- ~•~ ~~
-opportunity for formal public comments to be submitted regarding '-'
the selection of..a corridor for this-project. After the corridor
is officially chosen, preliminary. designs will begin~to place .a,
roadway within the corridor. "When complete, this will be ~~
... ,
presented to the public at- a design .public. hearing next year...,~It ,~-. ,
should be noted that the corridors shown ,on the hearing map are
1000 ft. or more .,wide. The actual ~ right of way for the roadway- '
l will be approximately 300 ft. wide. The roadway will. be design to"';
impact the natural and human environment as much as possible. ,; Thee
•extra corridor width allows flexibility to do,this. Though .your _;
property. may„be shown- within the corridor, i.t may not,;be affected

Dear Allen:
In accordance with the 'verbal 'request made of me by .the New Hanover
County Commissioners during their meeting,of.May 1,.19,95, I relayed to
the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen the County's desire to have the
Town enforce .animal control regulations in the unincorporated portion of
Shell•~Islarid.`~After=approp'riate consideration, the~Wrightsville Beach
Board of Aldermen agreed~.to provide 'the service in accordance with the
Commissioners' request .'ry< <-`There . are', however', -~ some ~ s'tipulatons under
which the, Town agrees to .unde.rtake:~~this , respons-ibilty:°' ~'~°~' °-~
First;` "and foremost'theCounty will``need to• adopt animal control
regulations ~ fore this•• ~a~rea 'that, are' identical ~ to those that the' Town
already enforces within its-own•jurisdicton - I~have enclosed a copy of
our regulations :for your review. Our attorney, Mr.~'John•Wessell, has
already ,spoken-with Kemp`Burpeau'of the County's legal"department about
this matter. They 'have coricurred•~ that there is no logistical barrier to
amending the"County regulatons~in~order to meet this-stipulation. The
regulations could then be enforced through a very- simple interlocal
.. ..
,: ...~,
agreement .-M' , . ., _ .. .
Second, the Town. would need to- be. reimbursed for the costs
associated with providing 'this'-service ~•' We, cannot, ~'at ,this. time,
determine • `those ` costs ~ ~== We 'b'elieve; `~ ''•however; • ~ that `'`once 'the new
regulations are in place and'everyone has•had the opportunity to;~°become
accustomed to those regulations';' our'~Anmal - Control'~•Officer-will be
required to spend (on average). three to five percent ofµ her time
• enforcing animal control regulations in this area. Consequently'`we are
proposing that the County's reimbursement to the Town be based upon five
percent of the'Town's annualzed''compensaton cost's`for'~'ths employee.
That comes-~to a •total:~ of $1~200~=per=year.'`-~=`The''.Town`''will'`'assume all
other costs associated with~the provision of ths~service
Third, we are somewhat'~:concerned!"aabout ~-the' additJonal~` liability
that the Town will be incurring ~ in extending animal control services
into this area. In order to address„this issue, we are requesting that
th unty agree to assume all costs associated with the defense of any
leg~~.claims or liabilities that are incurred. as a result of our
enforcement of animal control regulations in the unincorporated portion
of the County.

Finally, we -are. asking that the County provide appropriate ,
" notification (through the posting of signs.) to persons in the area in
which the regulations are'in effect: The enforcement"of Town developed
..regulations in this area is going to be a~dramatic.departure from the
. existing practice and animal owners visiting the area on an occasional
basis will need dome sort of notification ofi the. change. ;
Ms . Donna Neal and Mr. Ron Currie were in attendance at the meeting .
1 during which -the -Wrightsville Beach' Board of .Aldermen discussed this
matter.- Mr. Currie stated. that, when and if. we were able to effect this
"'change, .he would be glad to have one of the County's-,Animal Control
Officers come over and work with our personnel for a few days to assist
us~in_.our efforts to enforce these changes. We would like to thank Mr. ..
.Currie for his offer~of assistance and~:avail. ourselves of .that
assistance..,should the two governing boards` arrive ~at a °suitable
~. - ~ . .
enforcement vehicle. ~ ~, - ~~ '- -. ,; '" ~'
,.
During our Board of ~ Aldermen meeting, . Ms . .Neal .suggested that a
committee of •Town -and County personnel be formed to work out the details
of this issue. The•Board of Aldermen agreed and-asked that you and I
. :work-in conjunction with our. respective legal staff members to develop
a framework for this .cooperative venture. I shall make myself-available
~' at convenient times to meet on this matter. If you,. or a designated
member .of your staff, feel as though a meeting,_ or meetings, is/are
appropriate,~please contact me at your earliest convenience so that we
might develop'a schedule. If, however, we can work this matter out via
written communication, then I am equally .prepared to do~so:
~..; We await a response from you with regard to this correspondence.
~If.you should have any,. questions,~please contact me. As"you well know,
-Ms. Neal and other: persons associated-with. animal control:effort~s iri
this .County are quite anxious to resolve :this issue.. I would like to
move'' ahead ~ as °quickly as possible _. so .that we might ,address their

WRIGHTSVILLE BRACH, N.C. 28480 910.256-7900.
Dear Allen . • .. ~ rt . . . ~ ..
..
. • ~ Iri accordance with the verbal request made of me by the New Hanover .
County Commisaionezs during their meeting of .May 1,.].995, X-relayed to.
the Wrightsville Beach. Board of: Aldermen the County's desire to have the `~
Town enforce animal control regulations in the unincorporated portion of
SheI1,Ieland.-. After appropriate consideration, the .Wrightsville Beach.-'
Board of Aldermen agreed to provide the service in accordance with the:::
,Commisaioners~ request.. There are, however, some stipulations under
which the Town agrees to undertake -this responsibility. °.~ ., ....,.. . .
• First; and~~ foremost,°1~the County will need to adopt animal- control ~ .
regulations for this area that are identical to those that-the Town:`
already enforces within its awn .jurisdiction. I have -enclosed 'a Dopy of ~°
our regulations, for your review. .Our attorney, Mr.~John Wessell, has
already spoken with Kemp Burpeau of the County's. legal department about '~"
hie matter. _ Thcy have concurred. that there is ~o logistical .barrier •to
amending the County regulations in.order to meet this stipulation. xhe
regulations could then.. be enforced through a vexy'~aimple .iz~terlocal~.
agreement.'
t Second, ' the .. Town ,would need to .be•: reimbursed :for , the w costs ;.
i associated .with providing this service..; We -cannot, ,.; at .this ,time, ,
determine .. those cysts. ; ., We believe, however, that once - : the4:: new .=
' regulations are in place and everyone has had the "opportunit~`;,t~ becvme,~-
accustomed' to those regulations, our Animal . Control Officer wi11,A•be ;.;
... required to spend (on average) three to five percent of her time
enforcing animal control regulations in this area. Consequently, we are ,
proposing that the County' n reimbursement. to .the Town be based upon five ~.
,~ • percent of the Town's annualized compensation coats fox this employee.
That cvmea to a total of ~-~1, 200 per year. - The Town will assume all ,
other. costs associated with the provision of this service.
-. . -
. , , ...
Third, we axd somewhat concerned .about the additional liability
- that the Town will be incurring iri extending animal control services ...
• into this area. In order to~addregs this issue, we are ,requesting that ~.
the County agree to •assume all coats associated with the defense of °any ~ "~
. legal claims or liabilities that~~are incurred as a result of our :.
enforcement of animal contxoX regulations in the unincorporated por ~, •
of the County. ~_ ~ ~ • ..'~ ~~ ,'.

Finally, we are asking that the County provide aQpxopriate
notification (through the posting of signs) to persons in.~the:area in a
which the regulations are in effect. The enforcement'of Towri developed
regulations in th~,p area is going to ba a dramatic dQparture from the`
existing practice and animal owners visiting the~area•on an occasional--
basis will-need some sort of notification of the change. .~• -`'-~
Ms. Donna Neal,and Mx. Ron Carrie were in attendance at the meeting.

matter. Mr. Currie Stated that., when and if. we were able to effect this
change., he,,. would ~be . gXad to'have one of ~ -the°'~County';s Anitnal~~-Control

-Planninq• Board Summary _ .. -- _ , ~ . ~ .- ~ _~, ~ -.;
• The' Board voted 6 to 1:.~ to ~ recommend /approval ~ of 'the applicant' s
request. It noted that'."the rezoning wouldn't cause significant
impacts on nearby uses or be inconsistent with the Land Use Plan.
The option of conditional use zoning was discussed, but the
applicant felt that approach would hamstring. his, ability 'to react '
to market demands. The Board•agreed.
In dissent, -one Board member•noted the approval• wouldn't be
' consistent with the Land Use Plan because it would lead to strip
commercial development. He also said approval of the petition
would make it more.• difficult to suppress similar requests on
adjoining properties,.'.especial,ly4thos.e•fronting:Military.~Cut=off

consisted of 120 acres.~In the last few years, the larger tract,
which includes the subject parcel, has been the subject of several

entire tract was once .approved for the development of a large

Planning Board Summary
Concerns about traffic impacts and whether or not~Beau Rivage,~Drive
"~ was a private or publics street. led the. Board .to~ reoommend• denial of
the applicant's 'request: The vote was 4 ~o. 2. ~;~
A large number of people in opposition to the request attended the'
meeting. They argued the request could not meet minimal zoning
requirements and would create traffic .safety problems. They also
argued that the land was part of the common area of Beau Rivage
Plantation, which subjected it to covenants that limited land
development in the subdivision to residential uses only. Concerns
were also raised about the impact the use would have on property
values.
The applicant's attorney told.'the ~ Board :that' this ~ land,' was' -not
part of common area within Beau Rivage and~therefore..not.subject.to
private land use restrictions. He also :az~ued~~that Beau Rivage
Drive was not private but public because motorists in general have
fora long time had unrestricted access to the golf course, which
is open for public play.
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.

The Board voted unanimously td~' recommends approval of ~'thi~s petit`ion+.
They noted that expansion of the district here would create few
impacts and would be consistent with Policies for Growth and

Planninq,Staff Summary
This request simply seeks to expand the depth of the existing
,.
commercial district by ,approximately.,-,80 feet.. .
- .. i ~ ., k
As the site .map illustrates, the property~~is surrounded~~on`~rvtti~ree
sides by commercial zoning, which is the predominant zoning along
the northwest side of Oleander Drive. •Development in the area
includes a restaurant, offices, golf club repair shop and boat
sales, service and storage. ~ The North Carolina Cooperative
Extension Service is located on the opposite side of Oleander in
the old Bradley Creek School.
Over the years, this district has been expanded several times,. the U
most recent in 1993. Parcel F, which is ad jacen~ to the ,sub j,ect
parcel,; was rezoned to.-B-1 in .1985. ~°; It is currently home`toLLa~ real
estate office . A small `wood frame-House is located on the sub~'ect
property,. but it is unoccupied and apparently is being dismantled..
theupropertyd alley leading from Oleander Drive provides access to~

`` ` Zoning "Text`Amendment: `Request-~to Establish a~~Minimum' Setback for.
High Density"Projects When Locating Adjacent to Undeveloped and ~~
Unplatted~-Residentially Zoned Property :;;~-, ..
(A-261,,,;5:/95) . ;~ . ,,
Planning,Board-Summary
• The Board voted• unanimously to recommend approval...,of =, the. text
-. amendment.,, There,,was very.little:discussion. Overa l,•~the Board
agreed with Staff that the clarification has needed.
There was no opposition.
Planning Staff Summary
The purpose of this amendment is to establish a minimum setback for
.high density development when it borders undeveloped and/or
unplatted residentially zoned property.
Currently., the setback for high density projects is determined by
the height of buildings multiplied by a setback factor of 2.75 or
3.73, depending on whether;.~the,dwe.llings are detached or~attached:
However, these. scenarios only ~apply,in situat_ioris'.where.~.the
adjoining property is zoned residential " ~ -and either ''has'' a
residential use located on it or has been platted for residential
purposes. This section also allows .for. the setbacks to be reduced
in return for increasing the width of buffering, but in no case can
the minimum be less than 25 feet.
Unfortunately, this section fails to identify the minimum for
situations where there are no platted. lots and/or residential uses.
on adjacent residentially zoned property. •As a result, .Zoning
_,.Enforcement ..has.,interpreted.that. the underlying :zoning district
setbacks would appiy..•This would mean that a high density project
in an R-15 District adjacent to undeveloped and/or unplatted lots
on residentially zµoned property could .have a minimum setback, as low
as ten feet--ten 'feet ~is the minimum ,side yard setback `in'"the R-15

to have a ,minimum `' 'standard' ~` for' `alb. ``'thes"e' 'types~'~ of ~' projects
regardless of the status :of the adjoining residential .property.
With that in mind, Staff suggests the minimum setback for. all high
density be at -least twenty-five~~~f~eet „~vwhich coincides with the
allowable minimum for pro je,cts'~ when~~buf~fe=~M.yards are required. To
,achieve this, the followi~~rig-text revs,ggion~`~~is needed:
R~e~se 69.4 (5) A. to read: The reguired~mnimum setback for High p
.~
Density development shall not be less than twenty-five feet. When
such protects are located and adiacent to any existing detached;
- residential development-(not including Mobile Home Parks
High Density or Planned Developments) the setback. or other
shall be
calculated from the following formula:

I3RTEF SUMMARY;,
~. .Request by adjoining landowner, John Lawhore, to close an unnamed road 580 feet`south of the Victory
Gardens-Oleander Dr. intersection. This unimproved road situa'eed between two residential lots has a 30 ft
right-of-way.156nfeet in length. Potential vehicular access to the adjoining property owned by the Junior -
Ordec Corporation of Wilmington and connecting with Peiffer Avenue appears unlikely.. County.Parks has
'expressed an:interest in the 4.2 acre site as a neighborhood park. Presently an unmaintained ballfield and ,
.community building exist on the site ~' " `` ~ ~ .

RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REO,i,1ESTED ACTIONS:' :~' , ~ ...
While the unopened road is not functional for vehicular use aiid County Engineering has no desire fora ' -
utility/drainage easement within the road, Planning- staff recommends that a 10 to .15 foot pedestrian

tank near Ogden to serve the houses in the area between Murrayv~lle Road, Gordon,Road, and Market Street.
The. tank would be a part of the water system recently donated to the District. The tank will be paid for by
them 'at a cost of approximately .$500,000 and will also be donated to the District. They are requesting
perrnissionao construct the water tank on the edge of the Ogden Park property. Neal Lewis has reviewed .
the proposal and concurs with the proposed construction of the tank on the`park property. The attached sheet,
provided at the previous meeting, very much indicates the advantages.of accepting the tank. Also attached
is a contract which would allow construction and transfer of the tank ownership to the District.
~2ECOMMh',NDED MOTION AND REQUF,STF,D ACTIONS: ~ .A
