Bill Hance
Planning&Inspections Current Planner Nicole Dreibelbis reported that Tom Tucker is requesting to rezone
11.67 acres of property located at 7740 Market Street and 115 Amarvllis Drive from B-2 Highway Business to
Conditional R-10, Residential and presented a slide overview of the request. This item was continued from the
September 4, 2012 County Commissioners meeting to allow the applicant to hold a second community meeting for
which current leaseholders were given notice.
In 2004, a special use permit was approved for the properties to construct a mixed-use development
consisting of a 156-unit apartment complex with 21,600 square feet of commercial space subject to six conditions.
The apartment complex was constructed; however, the commercial highway frontage was not developed due to an
inabilit-v to secure commercial tenants.
The current proposal would add three new buildings consisting of 45 one-bedroom residential units
(buildings of 15, 18 and 12 units) to the existing apartment complex, known as The Apartments at Three Oaks, as
well as add ninety parking spaces. The site is identified as Transition and Wetland Resource Protection on the 2006
CAMA Land Classification Map and is within the Market Street Corridor Plan.
At the August 2, 2012 Planning Board meeting, they voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning
request with no one from the public speaking in support of or in opposition to the request, subject to the following
conditions:
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BOOK 32

Corridor Plan and Section 6713-3 of the New Hanover County Zoning Ordinance:and
2. Documentation of an encroachment agreement with Progress Energy with regard to the location of
proposed Building 10.
In response to Board questions, New Hanover County Schools Assistant Superintendent for Planning and
Operations Bill Hance reported that he does not have numbers on this specific project but stated that Ogden
Elementary is currently overcrowded by approximately 67 students. The Board of Education will be meeting to
discuss fixture facility needs with long-range renovations plarmed to gain capacity and fixture replacement of four
schools which will also increase capacity: they continue to assess growth rate trends.
Commissioner Catlin pointed out that the proposal is for one-bedroom apartments, and therefore,will most
likely not be marketed to families and have an impact on school population.
Chairman Barfield asked if anyone from the public wished to speak in favor of or in opposition to the
request.
In response to Board questions, Tom Tucker, the petitioner, agreed with the findings of facts as presented
and with the proposed conditions stating that he wished to proceed with the request.
Luke Menius,representative for the petitioner, stated that the proposed one-bedroom apartments will not be
marketed to families. The change in the request will adjust daily trips from 2,800 down to 300 with water and sewer
capacity needed being less with single bedroom units than the current commercial zoning.
Hearing no firrther comments, Chairman Barfield requested direction from the Board.

PRESENTATION OF COVANTA CONTRACT WITH FLOW CONTROL TERMINATION PROVISION
AND OPERATIONAL MODIFICATION OF DISPOSAL SYSTEM
County Manager Chris Coudriet reported that based on Board direction, staff has negotiated a termination
provision in the Sustainable Energy Facility (SEF) Contract with Covanta that specifically addresses flow control
and operational changes have been identified that improves flow control.
Environmental Management Director Joe Suleyman presented an overview of the changes highlighting the
following information:
• Count-v staff, inside and outside counsel,and Covanta feel confident in the Countv's abilit-v to maintain
and enforce solid waste flow control based on the strength of the existing case law and NHC franchise
agreement system.
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BOOK 32
REGULAR MEETING,OCTOBER 15,2012 PAGE 510
• The implementation of a series of operational adjustments will enhance efficiency, increases material
recovery, extends landfill life via improved density and enhances throughput at the Sustainable Energy
Facility(SEF).
• Specifically:
• Waste would be hauled to the County-owned and operated landfill.
• Waste diversion process would be used to remove non-processible waste such as wood, white
goods, and scrap metal.
• The remaining waste would be reloaded into County-owned and operated transfer
equipment and then be transported to the SEF.
• The new flow control termination provision will allow the county to terminate the contract if County
flow control system (franchise system) is successfiilly challenged at trial court level with sixty-day
notice and payment of any outstanding sei ice fees owed.
• Due to the increased risk to Covanta, the County has agreed to share revenue 50 0/o/50%for non-REC
green attribute credits which currently do not exist.
• If the County abandons the SEF as a waste-to energy facility for five years the County can use the
SEF for other(non-waste-to-energy)purposes at any time during that 5-year period and pays Covanta
reasonable and substantiated demobilization costs up to$1.5 million.
• If SEF operates as waste-to-energy facility during the five years following termination:
• With County personnel - $3 million payment to Covanta and demobilization costs (up to $1.5
million)
• If County resumes with Covanta — potential reimbursement of the $3 million (if prey-iously
paid)
• If County is unable to resume with Covanta and hires 3rd party: > rivo years after termination—
no additional payments: < 2 years after termination — convenience termination fee less
termination payments already made by County
In response to Board questions,Eric J. (Rick) Sapir, Attorney with Hawkins,Delafield, and Wood clarified
that the proposed provision in case of a flow control challenge gives the County the ability to terminate the contract
and would be responsible for paying the substantiated cost of demobilization up to $1.5 million: the $3 million
escape clause is if the County chooses to own and operate the facility with county employees.
Director Suleyman continued reporting that staff has also drafted for the Board's consideration, what a
scheduled curbside collection program might look like highlighting the following:
• Garbage/trash with wheeled 96-gallon cart sei iced weekly:potential for a second cart if needed.
• Bulky item collection once per month.
• Ability to assist with special events,illegals dumps,etc.
• Recycling with wheeled 96-gallon carts sei iced every other week with no sorting required: potential
for a second cart if needed.
• Yard waste curbside with no cart: sei iced every other week. Trucks can assist with storm debris
clean-up, routes can be adjusted for seasonality if needed: and will result in reduced yard waste in
storm water nuroff.
• Capital expenditure in the amount of $7,589,090: annual debt sei ice implication in the amount of
$202,765.
• Cost per home estimated in the amount of$18.53 per month.
• Assumptions include 40% recycling participation: 25% yard waste participation: and 100% trash
participation.
• Assumptions include cost per home based on equal allocation to each eligible home: may require
additional job classifications:residents invoiced quarterly in advance.
• Local trash and recycling rates average between$29.92 -$44 per month,excluding fees.
• Local recycling sei ice rates average between$8.41 and$20 per month.
• Subscription curbside yard waste collection not available in unincorporated areas of the county.
• Costs not included in figures are bad debt/collections; recruiting costs: property acquisition if needed:
additional cart costs.
• Considerations include possible grant fiurding: availability to manage solid waste after disasters,
special events, firll control over where residential waste is disposed of; diversion of approximately
8.4%of landfilled solid waste for beneficial reuse: trash and recycling can be offered to multi-family
dwellings; ability to provide back door or garage sei ice to seniors and disabled: firel exposure
increases 3.5 cents per home per month with each $.10 increase in firel: cost includes a sufficient
administrative reserve to offset unforeseen firel price escalation or major repairs.
• Immediate benefits include cost per home results in real savings to residents and more than offsets
higher tipping fees: more sei ices which improves landfill life: and consolidates one quarter of
county's potential recycling volume which is more attractive to a third party MRF.
In response to Board questions, County Manager Coudriet reiterated that he is not proposing the
consolidated collections option but was responding to a request to have a contingency plan option. He stated that in
his opinion, and the opinion of inside and outside counsel, the franchise agreements that are in place are strong and
the termination provision that staff has negotiated with Covanta that addresses flow control as well as the
operational changes that improves flow control, addresses Board concerns. Staff is requesting the Board's direction
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BOOK 32
REGULAR MEETING,OCTOBER 15,2012 PAGE 511
on the floe control termination provision and operational modifications of disposal system and consideration of
these changes to the Covanta Contract.
Commissioner Catlin stated that he would like more information on how to address potential dioxin levels
and has additional questions concerning the transfer station. He added that he would like for the current board to
agree on a contingency plan so that it is in place for fixture boards' consideration. He thanked staff for their work in
addressing concerns about flow control. It is important to leave the future of the county in a good situation.
Chairman Barfield stated that the main issue was flow control and in his opinion those concerns have been
addressed: the Board needs to make a decision and move forward directing staff to bring back the revisions
presented,as well as information to the questions posed,at the Board's November 13,2012 meeting.
Commissioner Catlin added that he would also like information on return-on-investments scenarios at the
November 13, 2012 meeting.
In response to Board questions, County Manager Coudriet reported that the consolidated collection plan
that was presented was the strongest scenario for the Board's perspective and would be the strongest operational
change. He is not recommending that the County get into the business of collection believing that the waste haulers
will abide by the franchise agreements that they enter into,and the Board approves.
