(PID R03400-003-007-000) LAND CLASS: Transition PLANNING BOARD ACTION: At it's March 6, 2008 meeting, the planning board voted 7- o to recommend approval of this rezoning. No one from the public spoke on this item. STAFF SUMMARY The subject property is located in the northern portion ofthe county in an area classified as Transition on the 2006 CAMA Land Classification map. The property is on the westernmost segment of Gordon Road, west of 1-40. Gordon Road is a collector road on the thoroughfare plan. Level of service has been rated B along this segment, meaning traffic flow is free and stable. The subject property is a landlocked parcel and currently a vacant, wooded lot. No street connectivity is available into Brierwood, so access will be through the undeveloped property to the south which was recently rezoned to R-lO. Brierwood Subdivision is also zoned R-IO. The Commercial portion of the Murrayville Station Business Park conditional district abuts on the west side. The subject property is located within the Smith Creek watershed drainage area. The property is not influenced by flood hazard. The site is in a primary or secondary recharge area for the principal aquifers. County water and sewer are in place in the vicinity. Land Use Plan Considerations: This rezoning petition proposes a change from lower density R-15 Residential with a maximum of2.5 units/acre to R-IO Residential with a maximum density of3.3 units/acre performance. High density projects would require a special use permit. Direct access to Gordon Road would be required before a project could qualifY. Rezoning action would result in the following possible density scenarios: Units (Performance) (High Density w/SUP) R-15 6 23 R-IO 7 38 Z-881 Page I of2 65 , The 2006 Update of the Joint CAMA Plan describes the purpose of the Transition class as providing for future intensive urban development on lands that have been or will be provided with necessary urban services. The location of these areas is based upon land use planning policies requiring optimum efficiency in land utilization and public service delivery. Following other rezonings in the past year, this is the only remaining R-15 property in this vicinity. Based on the foregoing, this proposal would appear to be consistent with the strategies for the Transition classification. Staff recommends approval. ACTION NEEDED: Adopt a statement in accordance with NCGS 153A-341 which requires that "prior to adopting or rejecting any zoning amendment, the governing board shall adopt a statement describing whether the action is consistent with an adopted comprehensive plan and explaining why the board considers the action taken to be reasonable and in the public interest." EXAMPLE: The County Commissioners find that this request for zoning map amendment from R-15 Residential to R-l 0 Residential District is (or is not): 1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of the Transition land classification and the associated land use policies adopted in the 2006 land use plan; 2. Reasonable and in the public interest to allow an increase in density from 2.5 units per acre to 3.3 units per acre based on the availability of urban services and adjacency to existing R -10 zoning.

U U..J:>;5 ~,.~li;!,.1!u 68 APPLICANT MATERIALS 69 WHAT YOU MUST ESTABLISH FOR A CHANGE OF ZONING 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. The governing board is required to adopt statements that the change is or is not consistent, reasonable, and in the public's interest. Since amendments to zoning maps should also be based on a Land Use Plan, you must explain how your request satisfies each of the following requirements: (Fill in Below or attach additional pages). 1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County's Policies for Growth and Development? The policies for growth and development encourage safe and affordable housing to be available to every citizen. Rezoning this property for a slightly higher-density of residential development would be consistent with the concept of transitioning uses, and in-filling vacant parcels where existing utilities can readily be extended and urban services are available. 2. How would the requested zone change be consistent with the property's classification on the Land Classification Map? The CAMA Land Use Plan identifies these tracts as being in a Transition Land Classification. The intent of this classification is provide lands for future intensive urban development that are, or will be provided with necessary urban services. 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? Development of the Murrayville area has been active in the past several years. The adjacent subdivision of Brierwood is zoned R-10. Sanitary sewer mains have been constructed along Gordon Road, providing service from a public system, where previously the only option was individual septic systems. Public water is also available, The property is near the highway interchange for easy access to major transportation corridors into, and out of, the City. 4. How will this change of zoning serve the public interest? Infill of vacant properties with services and transition of uses in developed areas are important strategies to quell the inherent problems of the past urban sprawl. 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 the singling 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 this application is complete and that all information presented in this application is accurate to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. c;~~ Wo \.\.

The Commissioners asked the Planning Board to take a look at the eligible areas to determine if the State-owned property should be removed from eligibility in order to better preserve the habitat areas in that vicinity. PLANNING BOARD ACTION: At its March 6, 2008 meeting, the Planning Board discussed this item from a variety of viewpoints. The major points raised were (1) The State is not bound by local rules anyway; (2) If the property changed to private hands, it would be zoned B-2 and could be developed for a variety of uses by right and several others by special use; and (3) If the property changed to private hands, it might be preferable to allow it to be developed under the RFMU standards rather than the B-2 standards. Having considered these points, the Board felt the existing language did not need to be changed at this time, and by a vote of7-0, they recommend leaving the language as is. In a subsequent motion, the Board directed staffto explore and draft language for a potential Conservation Zoning District, which could be utilized in environmentally sensitive areas like this one so that highly valued areas might be better protected from development pressures.

BRIEF SUMMARY: The existing broadcasting system used at the New Hanover County Historic Courthouse has required extensive repairs this year due to the age of the system. Some funds are available in this fiscal year but not enough to replace all the equipment. Therefore, the replacement was divided into two phases so that the most pressing needs could be completed this year. In this first phase, the high definition switch and replacement of the four television cameras are being replaced. The second phase will include replacing the equipment used in the broadcast room. Final estimates have not been received at this time. The recommended budget will reflect the final projection. To ensure standardization and compatibility with the equipment at the New Hanover County Government Center, staff is requesting to exempt this project from competitive bidding and award the contract to TVS in the amount of $187,858. In March 2007, the County awarded a contract to Technical Video Systems, Inc. (TVS) to design, create, and install a broadcast and television production studio at the New Hanover County Government Center with the capability of expansion for future needs. GS 143-129(e)(6) allows an exemption from competitive bidding for purchases of apparatus, supplies, materials, or equipment when: (i) performance or price competition for a product are not available; (ii) a needed product is available from only one source of supply; or (iii) standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt the resolution and award contract to TVS for Broadcasting Equipment for the Commissioners' Assembly Room at the New Hanover County Historic Courthouse. FUNDING SOURCE: Will above action result in: No Change In Position(s) Number of Positions: Explanation: Funds are currently available in 112005200-800200 for this purchase.

Ihnat Contacts: Gary McSmith, Christine Neal SUBJECT: NOTE: This item has been withdrawn. Consideration of a Resolution of Acceptance of Public Dedication, Figure Eight Harbour Common Area BRIEF SUMMARY: The County is currently constructing water lines within an existing utility easement crossing the Figure Eight Harbour Development. These lines being installed are part of the Well Field and Water Treatment Plant Capital Project. When completed, these lines will provide potable drinking water and improved fire protection to not only this development, but residents adjacent to a large portion of Porters Neck and Edgewater Club Roads. To continue the current construction schedule for this project, and to eliminate potential field conflicts related to existing underground utilities on Figure Eight Harbour property, it will be necessary to make minor field adjustments within the existing platted common area, during the installation process on this site. Once construction is completed, these adjustments will be noted and added to the final as-built drawings. By making field adjustments, the County avoids construction delays and potentially costly change orders. The existing common area has been platted and offered for public acceptance. Attached is a document accepting the conservation area for water and sewer purposes. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt the resolution accepting those identified common areas of Figure Eight Harbour Subdivision for sewer and/or water utility purposes only.

Ihnat, Bill Pinnix, Christine Neal SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution of Condemnation of a Thirty-Foot (30') Wide Utility Easement for Sewer Purposes at 7026 Market Street, Cardinal Lanes, Inc. BRIEF SUMMARY: County Staff has been working for several months on acquiring the necessary easements for the Westwood Lift Station (number 77) Alternate Force Main project. The route was designed to take advantage of existing easements as much as possible. Staff has worked closely with property owners and with Progress Energy in an attempt to route the line through established easements in order to minimize impact to all of the property owners along the entire project route. One property owner along the route has not yet agreed to provide a sewer easement, after extensive negotiations with County staff, and we must move forward with this condemnation action in an attempt to prevent potential construction delays. The easement at issue is required on property owned by Cardinal Lanes, Inc., at 7026 Market Street. The proposed 3D-foot wide sewer easement is situated entirely within an existing 1 DO-foot wide Progress Energy easement already located on this property, and does not place additional restrictions on the use of any of this land that are not already required by Progress Energy. County staff has placed the same value for these easements, based on their placement within already heavily restricted areas, as the tax value applied to wet lands andlor conservation easements, which currently is set at five hundred dollars per acre. However, the original offers to all the property owners along this route, was approximately three times that value (in this case $2,500), in an attempt to expedite this project and to provide some compensation for potential disruption to use of portions of this property during construction. Staff will continue to negotiate with the property owner, in an attempt to resolve the matter in the next thirty days and prior to any potential filings with the Clerk of Court. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt the resolution to acquire the necessary easement by condemnation. County staff will continue efforts to negotiate an agreement with the property owner to obtain this easement.
