Board of Commissioners Meeting 11/04/2013 2-0 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING NOVEMBER AS BRAIN ANEURYSM AWARENESS MONTH WHEREAS, a brain aneurysm (also called a cerebral aneurysm or an intracranial aneurysm) is a bulging,weakened area in the middle layer of the wall of a blood vessel in the brain,resulting in an abnormal widening or ballooning greater than 50%of the normal diameter (width). An aneurysm may occur in any blood vessel,but is most often seen in an artery rather than a vein; and WHEREAS, most brain aneurysms cause no symptoms and may only be discovered during tests for another, usually unrelated, condition. In other cases, an unruptured aneurysm will cause problems by pressing on areas in the brain. When this happens,the person may suffer from severe headaches,blurred vision, changes in speech, and neck pain, depending on what areas of the brain are affected and how bad the aneurysm is; and WHEREAS, symptoms of a ruptured brain aneurysm often come on suddenly. If you have any of the following symptoms or notice them in someone you know, call 911 or other emergency services right away: a sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches,neck pain,nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to light,fainting or loss of consciousness, and seizures; and WHEREAS, brain aneurysm survivors cannot predict the length of time it will take to improve or recover completely. Most patients experience several challenges during the long journey to recovery after craniotomy or any other treatment: physical challenges, emotional challenges, psychological challenges and several temporary and permanent deficits. Several patients who receive treatment for an unruptured aneurysm require less rehabilitative therapy and recover faster than patients whose aneurysm has ruptured; and WHEREAS, every year over 30,000 families in the U.S. experience the unspeakable tragedy caused by a ruptured brain aneurysm. About 40% of those experiencing a ruptured brain aneurysm will die. Those that survive often face significant challenges, greatly impacting their lives and the lives of their families; and WHEREAS,the survivors who have the willpower to live even if the recovery takes a long time have a better chance of improving their health. If the patients' caregivers or family maintain hope and positive energy around the patient then it would certainly make the patient/survivor's recovery easier and better. The brain certainly can adopt new ways and skills for a lifetime. NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT PROCLAIMED that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners recognizes November 2013 as Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month in New Hanover County and urges Governor McCrory to recognize the month of September as Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month in North Carolina. ADOPTED,this the 4th day of November,2013. NEW HANOVER COUNTY Woody White, Chairman ATTEST: Sheila L.

The estimated cost to extend sewer service to the Heritage Park area is $5,725,759 and the estimated cost to extend sewer service to the Marquis Hills area is $11,236,425. On September 3, 2013, the Board adopted a capital project budget ordinance authorizing the budget for these projects. To finance the project cost, the County applied for a State Revolving Fund loan with the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The County has been approved for a$11,236,425 loan for Marquis Hills and a $5,725,759 loan for Heritage Park. The County received the Local Government Commission's approval for the loans in October 2013. In order to officially accept the funding, the Board is required to adopt resolutions accepting the loans. The estimated average yearly debt service payment for Marquis Hills is $663,294 and Heritage Park is $337,961,based on a 2%interest rate over 20 years. The County will only draw down funds as necessary to complete the projects and actual debt service on the loans would be based on the actual amounts borrowed. Debt service payments do not begin until six months after the projects are complete, therefore the first payments are estimated to be due in FY 16-17. The closing fee for the loans will be paid in FY 14 and was included in the adopted capital project budget ordinance. The closing cost for Marquis Hills is estimated at$224,729 and Heritage Park is estimated at$114,515. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Intelligent Growth and Economic Development • Innovate programs to protect the environment • Understand and act on citizen needs RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Request that the Board adopt two resolutions; Resolution for Accepting a Clean Water State Revolving Fund Loan for Marquis Hill Sewer Expansion in the amount of$11,236,425 and Resolution for Accepting a Clean Water State Revolving Fund Loan for Heritage Park Sewer Expansion in the amount of $5,725,759.

Anything to be reimbursed must be approved by this office.This includes formal construction bids,small purchases,engineering contracts and engineering amendments,and change orders. I.Construction Projects A.Project elements not essential for treating wastewater are not eligible . B. If preference is given to a brand,it must be bid as a preferred alternate and any cost increase above the base bid is not eligible. C.The SRF will pay to restore project related items such as road patching,sidewalks and seeding. ii.Engineering and Technical Services A.Planning and Design Contracts Calculated after bids using the bid prices and EPA allowance curves Must include task descriptions 1. Planning Tasks Facility Plan/Engineering Report preparation. Environmental Assessment Preliminary Planning Preliminary Design Rate analysis Alternative Analysis 2.

The WMPO will be distributing this allocation to jurisdictions within their boundary through a competitive process. New Hanover County was unsuccessful in its TAP-DA FY 2013 application and requests permission to reapply for FY 2014 funding. New Hanover County's Planning & Inspections Department and Parks and Gardens Department request to apply for $90,000 to extend the Middle Sound Greenway to a new residential development slated to be constructed along Middle Sound Loop Road. Extension of this greenway is included in the recently adopted Wilmington/New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan. The new development, Middle Sound Village,has pledged$15,000 towards the construction of bicycle/pedestrian facilities from their development to Ogden Elementary. Their private contribution will be used towards a 20% cash match required by the TAP-DA grant.

The Middle Sound Greenway is currently funded to Oyster Lane and this project would extend the greenway approximately 1/10 of a mile further. This proposal represents a unique public-private partnership between New Hanover County and a developer both financially contributing to the local match. Problem Statement: Documented as early as 1987 in the Middle Sound/Ogden Small Area Plan:Future Directions and most recently in the Wilmington/New Hanover County Comprehensive Greenway Plan, Middle Sound/Ogden residents have ranked bicycle/pedestrian facilities a high priority and specifically requested, "bike/pedestrian paths on Middle Sound Loop Road" (p.43 Future Directions). Twenty-six years later, the need still exists as indicated in the 2013 Greenway Plan but to a greater extent as the area has become more densely populated.

Because any major modification to an approved Conditional Zoning District site plan must be approved by the Board of Commissioners, Staff and the Petitioner have worked to address issues that may arise during the TRC review process, including soliciting comments from key TRC members including the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA), New Hanover County Fire Services, New Hanover County Engineering, North Carolina Department of Transportation (NC DOT), and the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO). The proposed project, Adam's Landing, consists of 42 residential lots, a road network, open space, and stormwater management features on the 11.43 acres site. All existing structures would be removed and the petitioner is proposing to completely develop the infrastructure initially and record the lots in two phases. The proposed 42 lots would be for detached single family residential structures with a minimal lot size of 5,000 square feet and average dimensions of 60' x 110'. Maximum structure height is limited to 35' per the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has stated the density is approximately 3.7 units per acre, under the maximum allowance of 6 units per acre for R-7 Performance Residential per Section 51.8-4 of the Zoning Ordinance. A 20' interior perimeter setback has been designated on the site plan. Access to the subdivision would be via a 50' wide right-of-way subdivision road connecting directly to Carolina Beach Road. From the primary subdivision road stems two cul de sacs and one street terminating with a stub to the adjacent property on the southeastern boundary; these three roads are proposed to have 40' rights-of-way. The roads are proposed to be built to NC DOT subdivision road standards and dedicated as public. Sidewalks are proposed on both sides of the streets. Open space is proposed in two areas and a minimum of 1.26 acres of open space is proposed in the southeastern portion of the property. Half of this open space area (0.63 acre) will meet the criteria for active open space and the remaining half shall be passive open space. The area for the stormwater pond will not be included in the calculation of the open space area. The second area of open space is a Z-928, (10/13) Page 3 Board of Commissioners Meeting 11/04/2013 9-3-3 strip along the frontage of Carolina Beach Road which will serve as a buffer between the residential lots and the thoroughfare. This open space area is not proposed to be included to meet the minimum required 1.26 acres. An 8'tall opaque fence is proposed along the southeastern boundary line to buffer the new residential lots from the existing residential uses. STAFF POSITION: Proposed Zoning Classification Considerations Adopted in 2012, the purpose of the R-7 zoning district is to encourage medium density development in Urban and Transition areas of the county where adequate services are available. The district allows for greater variety of housing types provided that environmental impacts are minimized and adequate open space is provided. The R-7 zoning district has several intents: • Provide for greater population densities to facilitate high qualify affordable housing, a greater range of lifestyles and income levels in close proximate to commercial and employment centers. • Provide for the efficient delivery of public services and to increase residents' accessibility to employment, transportation, and shopping. • Serve as a buffer and transition area between more intensively developed areas and lower density residential areas. Staff opines that the proposal is in harmony with the intentions of the R-7 zoning district. Land Use Plan Classification and Policy Considerations The subject property is classified as Urban according to the 2006 Wilmington-New Hanover County Joint CAMA Land Use Plan. The Urban land use classification is intended to provide for continued intensive development and redevelopment of existing urban areas. The proposal is consistent with the Urban land use classification and not contradictory to any policies within the Land Use Plan. Road Network and Design All proposed roads will be required to be designed and constructed to NC DOT subdivision road standards, including conforming to the required widths and cross sections. An NC DOT Driveway Permit will be required for the road connection to Carolina Beach Road. WMPO Staff has indicated that significant utilities and infrastructure including traffic signal fiber optic cable, communications cables, and overhead electrical transmission lines exist along the frontage on Carolina Beach Road and the presence of this infrastructure may pose conflicts for the subdivision road connection and deceleration lane. Encroachment Agreements will be required for any utility connections or installations within NC DOT right-of-way (with some exceptions per NC DOT). New Hanover County Fire Services has indicated that the cul-de-sac diameters must be a minimum of 96', and that no gates or traffic calming measures will be permitted. Further review of these issues will occur during the TRC review of the Preliminary Plan. Traffic Per the Subdivision Ordinance Section 32-2(22), a traffic impact analysis (TIA) must be completed prior to the submission of any preliminary plan that will generate more than 100 trips during the peak hour. Based on the traffic impact worksheet provided by the applicant, the project will not warrant a TIA. Z-928, (10/13) Page 4 Board of Commissioners Meeting 11/04/2013 9-3-4 Utilities and Infrastructure Water and sewer service must be provided by CFPUA per the Zoning Ordinance and the applicant has indicated that existing water and sewer infrastructure nearby will be tapped to serve the project. CFPUA Staff has indicated that capacity is available at this time but will be further evaluated after the proper submittals to the Authority have been made during the Preliminary Plan review. Utility easements of 10' in width will be required along lot frontages on the Preliminary Plan. New Hanover County Fire Services has indicated that one fire hydrant should be located near the entrance from Carolina Beach Road one hydrant near the second intersection on whichever side of the street the water main will be located. Further review of these issues will occur during the TRC review of the Preliminary Plan. Environmental The project will be subject to several environmental regulations and permits. New Hanover County Engineering has indicated that a Stormwater Authorization to Construct and a Sediment and Erosion Control Permit will be required. Drainage easements will be required and must be verified on the final plat. The area around and including the run of Long Branch may contain wetlands and easements shall be required. Finally, the project is subject to a maximum impervious surface ratio for the gross site area of 50%. Further review of these issues will occur during the TRC review of the Preliminary Plan. Landscaping and Buffering Because the proposed minimum size is 5,000 square feet, no buffers are required for the project per Section 62.1-4(2) of the Zoning Ordinance. Although a cursory survey of significant trees was performed, a survey of the significant trees will be required as part of the Landscaping Plan per Section 62.1-8 of the Zoning Ordinance. The site does feature some significant existing vegetation, and retention and augmentation of the existing vegetation is encouraged to the maximum extent practicable. Aside from the potential mitigation of any significant trees, no additional landscaping is required. Open Space and Recreational Amenities The applicant is proposing to provide at least the minimum of 1.26 acres (0.03 acres per lot) required for the 42 lot subdivision. Per the Subdivision Ordinance, half of the provided open space must be Active Recreation Area and half Passive Recreation Area. The portion of open space adjacent to Carolina Beach Road does not meet the intent of open or recreation area and shall not be included in the computing the minimum 1.26 acres of required open space. Sidewalks are required to be constructed on both sides of the streets as well as along the frontage on Carolina Beach Road in accordance with Section 51.8-5(3) of the Zoning Ordinance and Section 52-11 of the Subdivision Ordinance. A further review of the proposed open space and sidewalk design will occur during the TRC review of the Preliminary Plan. REVIEW AND ACTION: This request is being facilitated by Section 55.3 — Conditional Zoning District of the County's Zoning Ordinance, and has been processed and reviewed per Section 110 — Amending the Ordinance. A community meeting was held on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 in accordance with the requirements for such a request. The community meeting had six attendees with questions regarding the project, but no opposition was voiced. A community meeting report was submitted by the petitioner. At their October 3, 2013, the Planning Board passed a motion 5-0 recommending approval of the request as presented. There were less than 10 members of the public in attendance for the Public Hearing at the Planning Z-928, (10/13) Page 5 Board of Commissioners Meeting 11/04/2013 9-3-5 Board, and no support or opposition was posed. Staff recommends the approval of the proposal as requested. Action Needed • Motion to approve the petitioner's proposal • Motion to"table"the item in order to receive more information • Motion to deny the petitioner's request based on specific reasons Staffs Recommended Motion: Approve the petitioner's proposal as requested.

How would the requested change be consistent with the County's Policiesfor Growth and Development? The subject property is classified as"Urban"by the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan. The stated purpose of the Urban class is to provide for continued intensive development and redevelopment of existing urban area. This proposal constitutes redevelopment of a 11.43 acre parcel which is currently occupied by a single family residence. The proximity to a major thoroughfare,public utilities,bus routes, and commercial land uses makes this property a good candidate for such redevelopment. 2 How would the requested zone change be consistent with the property's classification on the Land Classification Map?

What signift" ant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how has is the land involved unsuitablefor the uses permitted under the existing zoning? This 11.43 acre parcel is currently occupied by a single family residence which was built in 1940. Five mobile homes have been placed on the site in the years since. Recent years have seen the extension of a major thoroughfare,public utilities,bus routes,and the rise of commercial land uses in close proximity. The current use of the site is no longer appropriate for this area. The creation of the R-7 zone in December of 2012 has enabled more efficient utilization of these urban services. 4. Listproposed conditions and restrictions that would mitigate the impacts of the proposed use(s). The project will meet all federal, state,and local requirements pertaining to the subdivision and development of land. No unique conditions or restrictions are proposed.

This meeting was organized by Stroud Engineering to provide interested residents in the area an opportunity to review the plan, ask questions, and voice concerns regarding the proposed conditional use rezoning. The residents were notified by registered mail of the meeting concerning the proposed rezoning. There were eight people to attend the meeting. A reporting of the attendees is attached. There were two inquiries of Stroud Engineering in the weeks leading up to the meeting. These were from the immediate adjoining property owners, Keith Stewart and Don Riggs. Both of these concerned residents attended the meeting. Their primary concerns were buffering, access, and drainage. There have been modifications made to the original plan to address these residents' concerns. These modifications are primarily the inclusion of a fence on the east side of the project as well as a stub road to Stewart's property. There was reasonable discussion with all about the effectiveness of the ditch on the west side of the property. It is noted that this ditch would be more effective were it cleaned out along its entire run leading to Barnard's Creek. Other general questions about the project (and the answers provided) included: • When will the construction start? Hopefully, next spring. • How long will the construction last? About three years as project would likely be phased. • What type of homes will be constructed? Difficult to define at this point, however they would likely be in the mid two hundred thousand dollar range. • What improvements would be made to Carolina Beach Road? That would be determined by the Driveway Permitprocess. • Where will the sewer be connected? There is an existing main on the south side of the property. Connections will beat manholes on that line. • Where will the water be connected? There is an existing waterline on the other side of Carolina Beach Road which will have to be bored under. • How will the site be buffered? A shadow box fence is proposed on the eastern property line. • Can a connection be made to the Stewart property? The plan originally showed a stub road further west which has been moved east to coincide with the Stewart property. The proposed use was not discouraged nor were there any interpretations that it was offensive. There were plan revisions made as a result of this meeting.

This recommendation comes from an effort to adopt, where possible, operation enhancements identified by the Health&Human Services Study Commission and to deliver better service at a lower cost. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Superior Public Health, Safety and Education • Provide health and wellness education,programs,and services • Understand and act on citizen needs • Deliver value for taxpayer money Effective County Management • Increase efficiency and quality of key business processes • Understand and act on citizen needs • Deliver value for taxpayer money RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt the consolidation plan as outlined by the county manager. ATTACHMENTS: Health&Human Services Background&Fact Check COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:(only Manager) Recommend that the Board of County Commissioners direct Depart of Social Services and Health Boards and County Administration to develop a detailed action plan to achieve functional collaboration. COMMISSIONERS'ACTIONS: Approved the manager's recommendation 5-0. Board of Commissioners Meeting 11/04/2013 10-0 Health & Human Services Consolidation Background • 14 member expert panel spent 5 months analyzing the data and determined that "it would be unacceptable and undesirable to operate and govern DSS and Health using the existing Status Quo model" • Central to the Study Group's recommendation: • Maintaining an independent, expert governing board to set policies and make rules • Transferring responsibility and oversight for operations to the county manager • Consolidating the back office and customer support functions, and systematically eliminating the organizational silos Fact Check 0 @ 0 "The overlap is not in the services,the Correct- 100%of DSS clients can be served by Health.

Department, you must first be qualified as TANF ("welfare")eligible at DSS. "Zero pay" clients at the Health Department(low income and without insurance) are likely eligible for Medicaid. If qualified for Medicaid by DSS,the Health Department would receive revenue (instead of$0). The Health Department offers mental health counseling services to pregnant moms,families and children.
