Subject RIVERSIDE SUB-DIVISION
Sam -
I have reviewed the proposed sub-division - Riverside. I have the following concerns :
1. Does Engineering have adequate water supply for fire flow requirements?
2. Delta Court cul-de-sac - requires 96 foot diameter cul-de-sac.. Only 74 foot shown. Road is over 150
foot long.
3. Move fire hydrant on Lot #53 to street corner of lot 38
4. Add fire hydrant in area of Lot # 49 on Down Stream Lane
5. Kerr Ave. access. I have great concern here as we do not have any drawings of how this part of the
project is going to work. Are there any improvements going to be made ? Here are a few of the issues:
a. Parking takes place now along the Food Lion by delivery trucks and some patrons. How is this
going to be controled and enforced and what impact will it play They park along side of the building.
b. Food Lion is a sprinklered building and relies on a fire pond as it's water source. They use a
bladder tank and the reliance on the wetlands to maintain it's level. I reccommend that county water be
brought over to repair this issue and to guarantee it's water supply prior to this project starting. Hopefully
an agreement can be worked out. Zimmer Properties is the responsible agency. Kelly Hegadore
(512-7638) is there agent. I reccommend this developer talk with them about this issue. I will contact her
today about this concern.
These are my immediate concerns. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
any time.

RE: River Side
I HAVE REVIEWED THIS PLAN AS REQUESTED AND HAVE THESE
COMMENTS: The soils are predominantly Craven fine sandy loam (Cr), Johnston
Soils (JO), Onslow loamy fine sand (On), Rains fine sandy loam (Ra), Seagate fine
sand (Se), and Wrightsboro fine sandy loam (Wr).
According to the booklet, , "Wilmington/New Hanover Classification of soils for Septic
Tank Suitability, Onslow, Rains, Seagate, and Wrightsboro are Class II soils, Craven
is a Class III soil, and Johnston is a Class IV soil.
The Soil Survey of New Hanover County lists Craven and Wrightsboro as moderately
well drained, Onslow and Seagate as somewhat poorly drained, Rains as poorly
drained, and Johnston as very poorly drained.
Rains and Johnston soils are on the New Hanover County Hydric Soils A list which
means they are possibly wetland areas and subject to regulation under the Clean
Water Act. Seagate is on the Hydric Soils B list, which means it may contain areas of
wetland. It should be noted, according to the Soil Survey of New Hanover County,
and/or wetness. An adequate drainage and maintenance plan is needed for suitable
housing.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has federal jurisdiction over 404 Permits and the
NCDEHNR, Dept. of Water Quality, has state jurisdiction over 401 Permits under the
Clean Water Act. Before disturbing possible wetland areas, developers should
contact these agencies to stay in compliance with State and Federal regulations.

Subject Preliminary Plat Review
City Transportation Staff has reviewed the submitted preliminary plats and offers the following comments
River Side
Because the development is expected to generate more than 100 peak hour vehicle trips, a TIA is required for the
project that includes any additional phases planned for the "Future Development" parcels. See the attached
Word file for estimated trip generations.
Staff makes the following recommendations regarding the River Side preliminary plat
1. That all roads be designated as public and constructed to NCDOT subdivision road standards
2. That additional accesses be constructed through adjacent vacant properties to Horne Place Drive and
Chadwick Avenue.
3. That a 30' easement be dedicated for access to the proposed pump station
4. That a temporary turnaround be constructed, in accordance with NCDOT standards, at the end of the street
projection.
5. That a cross-section for "Kerr Avenue" be included on the plat.
6. That a side walk detail be included on the preliminary plat
7. That, where possible, corner lots be accessed from secondary roads rather than the main loop road(River Side
Drive).
8. The developer consider a three-spoke roundabout at the intersection of Kerr Avenue and River Side Drive to
more efficiently accommodate expected traffic volumes at that intersection
Ocean Forest Ridge
Because the development is not expected to generate more than 100 peak hour vehicle trips, a TIA is not required for
the proposed project. See attached PDF file for estimated trip generations.
Staff makes the following recommendations regarding the Ocean Forest Ridge preliminary plat
1. That all roads be designated as public and constructed to NCDOT subdivision road standards
2. That road rights-of-way be 45' in width for the entire project
3. That centerline radii for all proposed road curves be indicated on the preliminary plat
4. That the proposed travelway widths be indicated on the preliminary plat
5. That a turnaround meeting NCDOT specifications for subdivision roads be installed at the northern terminus
of the proposed road at Lot #2 and Lot #3.
6. That a street projection be constructed within the proposed southern "Utility and Access Easement" to
connect the project to the adjacent parcel (Scotts Hill Baptist Church, property owner).
7. That a temporary turnaround be constructed, in accordance with NCDOT standards, at the end of the street
projection.
North Carolina Department of Transportation
TRC Comments
March 27. 2007
River Side
• These comments are preliminary and are subject to further review upon receipt of
the additional information requested. There may be additional comments and /or
requirements for this site.
• A NCDOT Driveway Permit is required. Submit a plan in accordance with pages 14
and 15 of the NCDOT driveway Manual to include access locations within 500' of the
proposed access on both sides of the State road. Submit to the local NCDOT County
Maintenance Office.
• Developer shall submit subdivision plans to the North Carolina Department of
Transportation for review, unless it is a private community. Therefore, if the
developer anticipates adding or petitioning for addition to the state system, all
roads/streets should be designed and constructed in conformance with the current
North Carolina Department of Transportation design and construction guidelines.
• NCDOT Encroachment Agreement required for utility connections or installation
within NCDOT right of way. Exceptions granted for short side taps that will require
no pavement cut or excavation within the 1:1 slope as it relates to existing edge of
pavement.
• Adequate horizontal and vertical sight distances should be reserved at all proposed
entrances.
• Foliage that interferes with sight distance should be cut back to protect lines of sight.
• Adequate right-of-way for widening and sight distance triangles should be reserved.
• Left and right turn lanes on NC 133 (Castle Hayne Road) shall be required for this
site. All widening should include appropriate storage lane, transitional and
deceleration tapers. Recommended turn lane and transitional treatments are shown
on pages 78 - 80 of the "Policy on Street and Driveway Access to North Carolina
Highways," dated July 2003.
• Where possible, opposite side driveways should be aligned to prevent the
operational and safety problems caused by offset driveways.
® All "outparcels" or "excluded areas" should be served internally with no additional
access onto abutting roadways. The developer should convey this condition in any
lease or sell agreements.
® Storm Drainage shall not be permitted under the pavement structure, other than, at a
901 angle to the centerline of the proposed roadway.

/ if Kerr Ave will be continued as a street. Check with Steve Scruggs on all road name issues.
✓3. Tree survey required. Only one copy is required for the Planning Department.
v<' Add a note on plan: All lots will face internally within subdivision.
5. Lot 26: Is there sufficient room for driveway and home location?
A. Label all adjoining owners: South of Lot 13,14, & 82-92 owners name missing.
v7 Where is the Conservation Overlay District line?
/8. Please clarify the storm water pond appears to be higher in elevation than all the proposed
lots.
V Staff recommends public streets.
x%10. Is TIA been approved for this project?
11. The following are agencies that have not responded to this subdivision: Emergency
Services, 414., and Environmental Management.

Subject Subdivision Review
River Side Development Cape Fear Township
This proposed subdivision of 103 acres would result in 161 residential lots. The proposed lots would be
served by New Hanover County sanitary sewer and public water, according to the plan prepared by
Withers & Ravenel, dated 01/29/07. If the subdivision is approved and these utilities are not presently
available, construction cannot begin on the lots until the owners or his/her representatives obtain
improvement (septic system) and/or well permits AND authorization for wastewater system construction
from the New Hanover County Health Department. A site/soil evaluation must be conducted to determine
if improvement and well permits can be issued for these lots. An approved stormwater management plan
must be submitted prior to the evaluation of the sites. A recorded plat must be submitted to the Health
Department prior to the issuance of an authorization to construct.
Hunters Chase. Masonboro Township
This proposed subdivision of 14.12 acres would result in 34 residential lots. The proposed lots would be
served by New Hanover County sanitary sewer and City of Wilmington public water, according to the plan
prepared by Withers & Ravenel, dated 03/12/07. If the subdivision is approved and these utilities are not
presently available, construction cannot begin on the lots until the owners or his/her representatives
obtain improvement (septic system) and/or well permits AND authorization for wastewater system
construction from the New Hanover County Health Department. A site/soil evaluation must be conducted
to determine if improvement and well permits can be issued for these lots. An approved stormwater
management plan must be submitted prior to the evaluation of the sites. A recorded plat must be
submitted to the Health Department prior to the issuance of an authorization to construct.

Subject Plans
Sam,
Following are my comments on the latest round of preliminary plans, some of which have probably
already gone to the TRC. Sorry for the delay in getting these reviewed!
® Sellars Cove - dead end parking areas with no turnarounds aren't friendly for large emergency
vehicles.
® Ocean Forest Ridge - No significant issues
® River Side - No significant issues
® Hunters Chase - Do the wetlands in this area present a flooding problem during periods of heavy rain?
® Willow Bend - No significant issues
o Progress Industrial Park - Is there a significant risk of flooding for the lots that lie along the south side
of Progress Drive? It appears to me that some part of each lot lies within the 100 year flood zone.
® Myrtle Grove Village III - dead end parking areas with no turnarounds aren't friendly for large
emergency vehicles.
® Tidal Walk - 48 of 106 acres of this project lie within the 100-yr flood zone. Doesn't this create an
increased risk of flooding for any residential structures?
® Rockhill Subdivision - no significant issues.
Thanks!

My recommendations are as follows:
North Kerr and Castle Hayne Road
• Construction of a NB right turn lane - 100' full storage and appropriate deceleration ftill and taper.
• Extend existing WB through lane to create minimum of 400' full storage
• Construction of WB right turn lane - 150' full storage and appropriate deceleration full and taper.
• Construction of exclusive EB left, through, and right lanes with 200' full storage in each lane
protected with a concrete median island
• Modify signal operations to provide protected + permitted phasing on EB and WB approaches
• Modify signal operations to provide right turn overlap phases for all right turn lanes
Thanks
