REPORT OF COMMUNITY MEETING REQUIRED BY NEW HANOVER COUNTY ZONING ORIDINANCE FOR CONDITIONAL DISTRICT REZONINGS Location: 3013 & 3079 Blue Clay Road Proposed Zoning: Conditional Zoning District R-10 / Rachel’s Place Subdivision The undersigned hereby certifies that written notice of a community meeting on the above zoning application was given to the adjacent property owners set forth on the attached list by first class mail on __October 21, 2015_______, and emailed to all parties registered on the County’s “Sunshine List” on October 22, 2015 . A copy of the written notice is also attached. The meeting was held at the following time and place: Thursday, October 29, 2015; 6:00 p.m.; Wrightsboro Fire Station, 3515 N. Kerr Ave., Wilmington The persons in attendance at the meeting were: Reference Attached Sign-in List The following issues were discussed at the meeting: ** A project introduction was given with an overview of Conditional Zoning Districts and of the site layout. ** Questions about drainage & stormwater management were answered by a professional engineer. ** The primary concerns were over traffic circulation & trip generation. The residents of Wrightsboro Acres believe that this development will add to issues already experienced on Long Leaf Dr. due to the elementary school traffic. The results of the Traffic Impact Analysis were shared. The County’s regulations for mandatory inter-connectivity were stated. Developer agreed to discuss the possibility of no access to Holland Dr. with the County planners. As a result of the meeting, the following changes were made to the rezoning petition: A street intersection with Holland Dr. would appear to be a requirement of the Subdivision Regulations and for improvement of emergency services provision, so that access was not removed. An additional access to Blue Clay Road was also not added. The inter-connection to the TF Holdings property , to the South, was relocated for more central access.

Box 7221, Wilmington, NC 28406 * Telephone: 910-620-2374 * Email: cwolf@lobodemar.biz Transmittal October 21, 2015 To: Adjacent Property Owners From: Cindee Wolf Re: Rachel’s Place – A Performance Residential Development The property owner is interested in developing a 154-lot residential subdivision on lands within the proximity of your property. This proposal would require a Conditional Zoning District approval from New Hanover County. A Conditional Zoning District allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project. Essentially, this means that only that use, structures and layout of an approved proposal can be developed. A plan of the project layout is enclosed. The County requires that the developer hold a meeting for all property owners within 500 feet of the tract boundary, and any and all other interested parties. This provides neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal and for questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts. A meeting will be held on Thursday, October 29th, at the Wrightsboro Fire Station, 3515 N. Kerr Avenue, 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact me at telephone # 620-2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions. We appreciate your interest in the project and look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the community.

As currently planned, this development will consist of 154 single family detached homes. Two accesses to the development will be provided by one on Blue Clay Road and one on Holland Drive. Figure 1 show the sketch plan in the report. DAVENPORT was retained to determine the potential traffic impacts of this development and to identify transportation improvements that may be required to accommodate the impacts of both background traffic and new development traffic. The following intersections were included in the study: • SR 1310 (Blue Clay Road) at SR 1322 (North Kerr Avenue) • Blue Clay Road at Site Access 1 • Holland Drive at Site Access 2 The intersections were analyzed during the AM (7-9 am) and PM (4-6 pm) peaks for the following conditions: • 2015 Existing Conditions • 2018 Future No Build Conditions • 2018 Build Conditions • 2018 Build Condition with Mitigation (if necessary) The planned build-out year for this development is 2018. This Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) was carried out based on NCDOT typical standards. Information regarding the property was provided by Sunny Lane, LLC. 9/15/15 15-241 Rachel’s Place Subdivision – Executive Summary ii Discussion of Results The following section discusses 2018 level of service for each intersection. Blue Clay Road at North Kerr Avenue This signalized intersection currently operates at LOS B during the AM and PM peaks. In 2016 future no build conditions and build conditions, the level of service is expected to remain the same. No improvements are recommended. Blue Clay Road at Site Access 1 In 2018 with site traffic, this intersection is expected to operate at LOS B in the AM and PM peaks. It is recommended to provide 100 feet of storage with appropriate taper for a northbound left turn lane on Blue Clay Road to accommodate vehicles entering the development. Holland Drive at Site Access 2 In 2018 with site traffic, this intersection is expected to operate at LOS A in the AM and PM peaks. No improvements are recommended. Level of Service Summary Table A summarizes the level of service analysis at the study intersections: Table A - Level of Service Summary AM Peak 2015 Existing 2018 Future No Build 2018 Build 2018 Build plus Improvements Blue Clay Road at North Kerr Avenue B (13.6) B (16.3) B (16.5) Blue Clay Road at Site Access 1 B (13.1) EB Approach B (13.1) EB Approach Holland Drive at Site Access 2 A (8.6) WB Approach PM Peak 2015 Existing 2018 Future No Build 2018 Build 2018 Build plus Improvements Blue Clay Road at North Kerr Avenue B (12.8) B (14.8) B (14.8) Blue Clay Road at Site Access 1 B (11.3) EB Approach B (11.3) EB Approach Holland Drive at Site Access 2 A (8.7) WB Approach LOS (delay in seconds) Note for unsignalized conditions, LOS and delay indicates only minor street approach with longest delay 9/15/15 15-241 Rachel’s Place Subdivision – Executive Summary iii Summary and Conclusion The proposed Rachel’s Place Subdivision is located off of Blue Clay Road in Wrightsboro, New Hanover County, North Carolina. As currently planned, this development will consist of 154 single family detached homes. Two accesses to the development will be provided by one on Blue Clay Road and one on Holland Drive. Based on trip generation rates and equations published in Trip Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers, 9th Edition), this development has a trip generation potential of 117 net trips in the AM peak and 155 net trips in the PM peak. Based on the analysis all study intersections are expected to operate at LOS B or better during the AM and PM peaks. It is recommended to provide a northbound left turn lane at Blue Clay Road and Site Access 1 of 100 feet storage with appropriate taper to accommodate the vehicles entering the development. In conclusion, this study has reviewed the impacts of both background traffic and this development traffic, and has determined that with the recommended improvements in place, there will be adequate capacity to accommodate future traffic. The final design of these improvements will need to be coordinated during the site plan approval process. Please note that all accesses to the site are required to be constructed to NCDOT standards. 9/15/15 15-241 Rachel’s Place Subdivision – Transportation Impact Analysis 1 Rachel’s Place Subdivision – Transportation Impact Analysis Wrightsboro, New Hanover County, NC Prepared for Sunny Lane, LLC September 15, 2015 Table of Contents 1.0 Introduction ............................................................................................................. 2 Figure 1 – Sketch Plan ................................................................................................ 3 Figure 2A – Site Location Map .................................................................................... 4 Figure 2B – Vicinity Map .............................................................................................. 5 2.0 Existing Conditions ................................................................................................ 6 2.1 Inventory ................................................................................................................ 6 2.2 Existing Traffic Volumes ........................................................................................ 6 Figure 3 – Existing Lane Geometry ............................................................................. 7 Figure 4 – 2015 Existing Traffic Volumes .................................................................... 8 3.0 Approved Developments and Committed Improvements ................................... 9 3.1 Approved Developments ........................................................................................ 9 3.2 Committed Improvements ...................................................................................... 9 4.0 Methodology ......................................................................................................... 10 4.1 Base Assumptions and Standards ....................................................................... 10 4.2 Trip Generation .................................................................................................... 10 4.3 Trip Distribution .................................................................................................... 11 4.4 2018 Future No Build Traffic ................................................................................ 11 4.5 2018 Build Total Traffic ........................................................................................ 11 Figure 5 – Trip Distribution ........................................................................................ 12 Figure 6 – 2018 Future No Build Volumes ................................................................. 13 Figure 7 – Site Trips .................................................................................................. 14 Figure 8 – 2018 Build Volumes .................................................................................. 15 5.0 Capacity Analysis ................................................................................................. 16 5.1 Level of Service Evaluation Criteria ..................................................................... 16 5.2 Discussion of Results ........................................................................................... 17 5.3 Level of Service Summary ................................................................................... 17 Figure 9 – Recommended Improvements .................................................................. 18 6.0 Summary and Conclusion ................................................................................... 19 Appendix ...................................................................................................................... 20 Trip Generation .......................................................................................................... 21 Level of Service Analysis ........................................................................................... 22 Traffic Volume Data ................................................................................................... 26 Supporting Documentation ........................................................................................ 27 Approved Development ............................................................................................. 28 9/15/15 15-241 Rachel’s Place Subdivision – Transportation Impact Analysis 2 Rachel’s Place Subdivision – Transportation Impact Analysis Wrightsboro, New Hanover County, NC Prepared for Sunny Lane, LLC September 15, 2015 1.0 Introduction The proposed Rachel’s Place Subdivision is located off of Blue Clay Road in Wrightsboro, New Hanover County, North Carolina.

Per the WMPO staff, there are two developments seeking approval in the vicinity of the project that will be incorporated into the analysis. River Bluffs is a multi-development consisting of single family homes, condominiums, small retirement community and a country store located off of Chair Road whose TIA was completed by Ramey Kemp & Associates in 2008. This development is estimated to generate 4,555 daily site trips (251 trips in the AM peak and 393 trips in the PM peak). Trasco Distribution Center is a 205,000 square foot building located on North Kerr Avenue between Blue Clay Road and North Kerr Avenue whose TIA was completed by Ramey Kemp & Associates in 2014. This development is estimated to generate 1,776 daily site trips (360 trips in the AM peak and 340 trips in the PM peak). Riverside Development is a multi-family consisting of 165 single family detached homes and 72 apartments located off of North Kerr Avenue whose TIA was completed by DAVENPORT in May 2015. This development was analyzed for two (2) phases. Phase 1 (2016) will consist of 100 single family homes. Full Build (2019) will consist of 165 single family homes and 72 apartments. Since Riverside Development will be phase constructed before and after the Rachel’s Place Subdivision, the Phase 1 trips were used in the analysis. The Phase 1 development is estimated to generate 1,050 daily site trips (80 trips in the AM peak and 105 trips in the PM peak). The site trips for each development were incorporated into all future build conditions. More information can be found in the Supporting Documents section of the Appendix. 3.2 Committed Improvements Committed Improvements are improvements that are planned by NCDOT or a developer in the area, but not yet constructed. Per WMPO, there are recommended committed improvements in the study area due to the two approved developments. These improvements are at the intersection of Castle Hayne Road and North Kerr Avenue, which is outside of the study area. 9/15/15 15-241 Rachel’s Place Subdivision – Transportation Impact Analysis 10 4.0 Methodology 4.1 Base Assumptions and Standards In general, the analysis for this project was conducted utilizing commonly accepted NCDOT standards.

The trip distribution model is shown in Figure 5, and the directional distributions for site trips are as follows: • 40% to and from the south on Blue Clay Road • 20% to and from the east on North Kerr Avenue • 15% to and from the north on Blue Clay Road • 15% to and from the west on Holland Drive • 10% to and from the west on North Kerr Avenue 4.4 2018 Future No Build Traffic The 2018 future no build traffic volumes were computed by applying a 1.0% compounded annual growth rate to the 2015 existing traffic volumes and adding approved development trips. Figure 6 shows 2018 future no build traffic volumes for AM and PM peaks. 4.5 2018 Build Total Traffic The 2018 build-out traffic volume was obtained by summing the 2018 future no build volumes and site trips due to the proposed development. Site trips are shown in Figure 7. The 2018 future build volumes are shown for AM and PM peaks in Figure 8. More information can be found in the Traffic Volume Data section of the appendix.

There are currently six levels of service ranging from A to F. Level of service “A” represents the best conditions and Level of Service “F” represents the worst. Synchro Traffic Modeling software was used to determine the level of service for studied intersections. Note for unsignalized intersection analysis, the level of service noted is for the worst approach of the intersection. This is typically the left turn movement for the side street approach, due to the number of opposing movements. All worksheet reports from the analyses can be found in the Appendix. Table 5.1 – Highway Capacity Manual Levels of Service and Control Delay Criteria Signalized Intersection Unsignalized Intersection Level of Service Control Delay Per vehicle (sec) Level of Service Delay Range (sec) A ≤ 10 A ≤ 10 B > 10 and ≤ 20 B > 10 and ≤ 15 C > 20 and ≤ 35 C > 15 and ≤ 25 D > 35 and ≤ 55 D > 25 and ≤ 35 E > 55 and ≤ 80 E > 35 and ≤ 50 F > 80 F > 50 9/15/15 15-241 Rachel’s Place Subdivision – Transportation Impact Analysis 17 5.2 Discussion of Results The following section discusses 2018 level of service for each intersection. Blue Clay Road at North Kerr Avenue This signalized intersection currently operates at LOS B during the AM and PM peaks. In 2016 future no build conditions and build conditions, the level of service is expected to remain the same. No improvements are recommended. Blue Clay Road at Site Access 1 In 2018 with site traffic, this intersection is expected to operate at LOS B in the AM and PM peaks. It is recommended to provide 100 feet of storage with appropriate taper for a northbound left turn lane on Blue Clay Road to accommodate vehicles entering the development. Holland Drive at Site Access 2 In 2018 with site traffic, this intersection is expected to operate at LOS A in the AM and PM peaks. No improvements are recommended. 5.3 Level of Service Summary Table 5.2 summarizes the level of service analysis at the study intersections: Table 5.2 - Level of Service Summary AM Peak 2015 Existing 2018 Future No Build 2018 Build 2018 Build plus Improvements Blue Clay Road at North Kerr Avenue B (13.6) B (16.3) B (16.5) Blue Clay Road at Site Access 1 B (13.1) EB Approach B (13.1) EB Approach Holland Drive at Site Access 2 A (8.6) WB Approach PM Peak 2015 Existing 2018 Future No Build 2018 Build 2018 Build plus Improvements Blue Clay Road at North Kerr Avenue B (12.8) B (14.8) B (14.8) Blue Clay Road at Site Access 1 B (11.3) EB Approach B (11.3) EB Approach Holland Drive at Site Access 2 A (8.7) WB Approach LOS (delay in seconds) Note for unsignalized conditions, LOS and delay indicates only minor street approach with longest delay N SIG N A L I Z E D INT E R S E C T I O N UNS I G N A L I Z E D INT E R S E C T I O N TRA F F I C MOV E M E N T BL A C K = EX I S T I N G GR E Y = UN A N A L Y Z E D BL U E = PR O P O S E D ROA D W A Y LE G E N D SR 1 3 5 8 ( H o l l a n d D r i v e ) Si t e A c c e s s 2 Si t e A c c e s s 1 100' ** * N O T T O S C A L E * * * PRO J E C T NUM B E R 15 - 2 4 1 RAC H E L 'S PLA C E SUB D I V I S I O N Th i s d o c u m e n t , t o g e t h e r w i t h t h e c o n c e p t s a n d d e s i g n s p r e s e n t e d h e r e i n , i s in t e n d e d o n l y f o r t h e s p e c i f i c p u r p o s e a n d c l i e n t f o r w h i c h i t w a s p r e p a r e d .

As currently planned, this development will consist of 154 single family detached homes. Two accesses to the development will be provided by one on Blue Clay Road and one on Holland Drive. Based on trip generation rates and equations published in Trip Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers, 9th Edition), this development has a trip generation potential of 117 net trips in the AM peak and 155 net trips in the PM peak. Based on the analysis all study intersections are expected to operate at LOS B or better during the AM and PM peaks. It is recommended to provide a northbound left turn lane at Blue Clay Road and Site Access 1 of 100 feet storage with appropriate taper to accommodate the vehicles entering the development. In conclusion, this study has reviewed the impacts of both background traffic and this development traffic, and has determined that with the recommended improvements in place, there will be adequate capacity to accommodate future traffic. The final design of these improvements will need to be coordinated during the site plan approval process. Please note that all accesses to the site are required to be constructed to NCDOT standards.
