Box 7221, Wilmington, NC 28406 * Telephone: 910-620-2374 * Email: cwolf@lobodemar.biz Transmittal September 16, 2016 To: Adjacent Property Owners From: Cindee Wolf Re: Street Safe Driving Training Facility 5000 Blue Clay Road The referenced property is within 500 feet of yours, and is being used as a technical school for promoting safe driving. StreetSafe is a not-for-profit program with a mission to teach young and inexperienced drivers to become safer and more responsible on the road. This facility was used as an environmental contractor’s office and testing labs for many years. These uses required an industrial zoning designation (I-1/CUD), which was approved back in the late 1990’s. The current use would require a modification of that existing zoning. As a school, the most appropriate designation would be Office & Institutional (O&I), and we will be seeking 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. An exhibit of the site is attached. The only proposed change to the existing layout is the expansion of the pavement used for driver training. 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, prior to submittal. 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, September 29th, at the facility, 5000 Blue Clay Road, 6:00 – 6:30 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.
