i
FINDINGS
i
i

or safety if located where proposed and developed according to the plan as submitted and
approved.
i
A. Aqua,NC cannot provide adequate water pressure for fire suppression. Alternate methods will be
required though no explanation or alternate proposal for fire suppression was offered by the applicant.
B. A letter submitted for consideration by a towing company suggests that proximity of the site to the
poorly maintained Carolina Beach Inlet area is a hazardous location and could present conflicts
between existing boat or barge traffic and new operations that drop boats into the channel of the
1 Intracoastal Waterway.
C. Testimony at the hearing expressed concerns for the hazards of a forklift marina operation in an open-
i water location without a"no-wake"zone.
D. The Planning Board recommendation for denial included a conclusion that public safety would be at
risk if the project were approved.
1
3
2. The Board did not find deficiencies in the site plan with regard to required technical
conditions and specifications of the zoning ordinance for the use, except the fundamental
requirements necessary for the issuance of a special use permit.
1
3. The Board did not conclude that the use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining
or abutting property.
i
A. Conflicting testimony was presented by first person accounts as to the detrimental nature of dry stack
storage marinas in proximity to single family residential homes.
$ B. Conflicting testimony was presented by licensed real estate appraisers as to the detrimental or injurious
nature of this type of use on the value of adjoining or abutting property.

4. The Board found that the location and character of the use if developed according to the 4
plan as submitted and approved will not be in harmony with the area in which it is to be
I located and in general conformity with the plan of development for New Hanover County.
g tY p I
A. In the judgment of the board and based on a preponderance of testimony from residents and t
owners in the Tucker-Burnett Subdivision as well as the recommendation of the Planning Board,
the location and character of the proposal as submitted would not be in harmony with the
established single-family residential neighborhood.
B. The size of the proposal is too large to be compatible with the neighborhood.
C. The Board does not find that the kind of use proposed would not be beneficial in the County,but
simply that placing this use at this particular location would not be in harmony with that
immediate area.
i
5. Therefore, the County Commissioners, based upon their hearing on this matter, hereby
DENY the request for a special use permit.
