Planning Director Chris O?Keefe provided an overview of the following Planning Department items and
responded to questions from the Board:
Regular Agenda Item 9 ? Public Hearing - Special Use Permit (S-582, 06/08) - Request by Shanklin and
Nichols for Carolina Marina and Yacht Club to Locate a Commercial Marina with Dry Stack Storage for 200 Boats
at 1512 Burnett Road on 3.1 Acres in the R-15 Residential Zoning District and the Conservation Land
Classification. The Planning Board voted to deny the request.

Associates for New Hanover County Schools to Rezone Approximately 1.07 Acres at 4404 (partial) and 4348 Holly
Shelter Road from I-2 to R-15 in the Community Land Classification. The Planning Board voted 4-0 to recommend
approval of the rezoning as submitted and to support staff?s recommendation to rezone the remaining three remnant
I-2 parcels. The change would consolidate the zoning pattern by cleaning up remnant parcels left by a prior
rezoning.
Regular Agenda Item 11 ? Public Hearing - Special Use Permit (S-581-06/08) - Request by Elliott Place
HOA for a 10-Slip Community Boating Facility Located off River Road at 6510 River Vista Drive on Common
Area in the R-15 Residential Zoning District and the Conservation Land Classification. The Planning Board
recommended approval with the following two conditions: 1) no overhead lighting allowed on the docks; and 2) all
outstanding violations must be remedied within six months of approval or the permit will be revoked.
Regular Agenda Item 12 ? Public Hearing - Rezoning Request (Z-886, 06/08) - Request by Withers &
Ravenel for Crowatan Partners, LLC to Rezone 84.89 Acres (landlocked) off Crowatan Road Between Castle Hayne
Road and Blue Clay Road North of I-140 from R-20 to I-1 in the Aquifer Resource Protection Land Classification.
The change would transition the land?s development potential from low density residential uses of 1.9 units per acre
to a variety of light industrial or heavy commercial uses. The Planning Board voted to recommend approval.
Regular Agenda Item 13 ? Public Hearing - Consideration of a Resolution of Intent to Close a Portion of
Point Harbor Road (SC-86, 06/08).
Regular Agenda Item 14 ? Consideration of Southeastern Center Request: Return of Funds. Assistant
County Manager Chris Coudriet presented an overview of the request. Commissioner Pritchett clarified the request
and answered questions from the Board. She reported that a special meeting of the Southeastern Center Operations
and Finance Committee has been called. She suggested tabling the agenda item to allow the committee to meet and
bring forth a recommendation. After discussion, the consensus of the Board is to table the item to allow the
Operations and Finance Committee to meet and bring forth a recommendation to the Board for consideration.
District Chairman Kopp reported that the only Water and Sewer District agenda item is the approval of the
minutes.
There being no further business, Chairman Greer adjourned the meeting at 4:20 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Sheila L. Schult
