For many aging Americans, it is a phase of life where interests, goals, and dreams can get a new or second start. Today, aging is about eliminating outdated perceptions and living the way that suits you best. Since 1963, Older Americans Month (OAM) has been a time to celebrate older Americans, their stories, and their contributions. Led by the Administration for Community Living (ACL), the annual observance offers a special opportunity to learn about, support, and recognize our nation's older citizens. This year's theme, "Age Out Loud," emphasizes the ways older adults are living their lives with boldness, confidence, and passion while serving as an inspiration to people of all ages. The New Hanover County (NHC) Senior Resource Center will use OAM 2017 to focus on how older adults in our community are redefining aging — through work or family interests, by taking charge of their health and staying independent for as long as possible, and through their community and advocacy efforts. We can also use this opportunity to learn how we can best support and learn from our community's older members. Throughout the month of May, the NHC Senior Resource Center will conduct activities and share information designed to highlight local programs, wellness, resources, education, and safety that encourages independence and enhances quality of life for all older adults. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Superior Public Health, Safety and Education • Provide health and wellness education, programs, and services • Support programs to improve educational performance • Keep the public informed on important information • Understand and act on citizen needs • Deliver value for taxpayer money RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt the proclamation.

Board of Commissioners - May 1, 2017 ITEM: 4 - 2 - 1 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: May 1, 2017 CONSENT DEPARTMENT: Property Management PRESENTER(S): Kevin Caison, Facilities Project Manager CONTACT(S): Jerome Fennell, Property Management Director and John Sawyer, Architect SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Selecting the Construction Management at Risk Method of Project Delivery for the Health and Human Services Facility Construction Project BRIEF SUMMARY: There are three basic categories of construction project delivery available to the public sector: 1. Design Bid Build (DBB) — this is the traditional method most of us are familiar with where the architect designs a building and then it is advertised and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder (contractor) who then builds the building. 2. Design Build (DB) — this is a common delivery method in the private sector but not very common in the public sector yet. In this method the design and construction are combined under one contract and typically led by the general contractor. There are variations of this method that include Bridging and Public Private Partnership. 3. Construction Management at Risk (CM @R) — this delivery method differs from the traditional method (DBB) because it brings the construction manager /general contractor (CM /GC) on board in the early phases of design. The CM /GC is selected using the Qualifications Based Selection process much like an architect or engineer is selected. The CM /GC works with the design team and owner prior to construction providing schedule, budget, and constructability advice during the project planning and design phases. Once the design is 80 to 90% complete, the CM /GC and owner will negotiate a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the project. All subcontractor work is competitively bid by the CM /GC and all information is shared with the owner and design team as they work toward a common goal of delivering the best project possible within the means available. While the DBB method is the most commonly used project delivery method by the public sector, historically, there are more public entities using DB and CM @R especially when a project may be complex either in logistics, unknowns, or schedule and budget constraints. The Health and Human Services Facility project is a complex project due to logistics, schedule and budget. Staff looked at the CM @R delivery method for this project. We met with representatives of the New Hanover County School system to gain an owners perspective, our design team for an architect's perspective, and a local Construction Management/General Contractor for their take on the CM @R option, and researched the topic independently. In the end the following factors stood out as reasons to consider CM @R: • Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) established at 80 to 90% construction does • Higher Quality due to more thorough subcontractor selection process . Increased Sustainability due to increased quality • Faster — ability to Fast Track elements of the project due to the contractor starting during design • Overall initial cost appears to be more due to the cost of preconstruction management and higher quality subs but appears to pay for itself due to less issues with change orders and work completed Board of Commissioners - May 1, 2017 ITEM: 5 STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Superior Public Health, Safety and Education • Deliver value for taxpayer money RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Adopt the resolution to select the Construction Management at Risk delivery method for the New Hanover County Health and Human Services Facility.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners selects the project above for the Construction Management at Risk construction delivery method in accordance with G.S. 143 - 128.1.

Our ultimate goal is to STOP abuse of the elderly in our area by raising awareness through community education on the forms of Elder Abuse, ways to identify it, and what can be done to help prevent it. As World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15th, 2017 approaches, we continue our work to raise awareness in our area. As in past years, pocket cards, brochures and posters about elder abuse are being distributed. Our talented "Preventers" are educating by presenting vignettes that depict the forms of elder abuse, neglect and exploitation to the public, to professionals in skilled /assisted living facilities, home health care agencies, and to the local medical and law enforcement communities. In 2013, we held a community event at The New Hanover County Senior Center featuring a keynote speech by an Internationally - acclaimed Financial Elder Abuse expert. In 2014, we presented, "Modern Times Modern Crimes ", an event that educated elders on protecting themselves against Frauds & Scams. In 2015, we trained Law Enforcement and Financial Institutions, and the general public on Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation, and held Elder Abuse Walk, Stroll & Rolls in New Hanover and surrounding counties. In 2o16, we presented "Modern Times, Modern Crimes " and Elder Abuse Awareness Walks at Brightmore of Wilmington on April 22nd and Carolina Bay at Autumn Hall on September 22nd and walks in other counties. The community was invited to participate. In 2017, Walks will be held in New Hanover and surrounding Counties as well as at least two educational events. At the 4 PM May 1St, 2017 Commissioner's Meeting, we are requesting the New Hanover County Commissioners again adopt a resolution proclaiming the period of time between Mother's Day on May 14th and Father's Day on June 18th be declared "Elder Abuse Awareness Month" in New Hanover County ". An updated copy of our resolution is attached with this letter. I, along with other members of our network will attend the Commissioner's meeting to receive the written proclamation upon notice that it is to be adopted. We hope the work of the Cape Fear Elder Abuse Prevention Network makes a significant contribution towards the prevention of Elder Abuse in our area. Thank you again for your support over the past years. We look forward to having you partner with us again in this effort. Sincerely, Marianna B. Stacy Marianna B.

To exercise such right to purchase the Series 2017 Bonds pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(c)(1), the County, at the direction of the Corporation, will give written notice of its intent to purchase such Series 2017 Bonds to the Trustee not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable redemption date, and the County shall promptly confirm its purchase thereof in a written notice delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall cancel all such Series 2017 Bonds purchased pursuant to this Section 3.01(c)(1). (2) In lieu of redeeming Series 2017 Bonds pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(1), the Trustee shall, at the request of the County, upon the direction of the Corporation, use such funds otherwise available hereunder for redemption of Series 2017 Bonds to purchase Series 2017 Bonds identified by the County, upon the direction of the Corporation, at a price specified by the County, upon the direction of the Corporation, not exceeding the Redemption Price then applicable hereunder. Any such Series 2017 Bonds to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(c)(2) may, at the option of the County, at the direction of the Corporation, remain outstanding or be cancelled. To exercise such right to purchase the Series 2017 Bonds pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(c)(2), the County, at the direction of the Corporation, will give written notice of its intent to purchase such Series 2017 Bonds to the Trustee not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable redemption date, which notice will state whether such Series 2017 Bonds are to remain outstanding or be cancelled, and the County shall promptly confirm its purchase thereof in a written notice delivered to the Trustee. Section 3.02 Notice of Redemption; Selection of Series 2017 Bonds for Redemption; and Cancellation. (a) Not less than thirty (30) days but not more than sixty (60) days before the redemption date of any Series 2017 Bonds, whether such redemption be in whole or in part, the Trustee shall cause a notice of any redemption signed by the Trustee to be mailed, postage prepaid, to all Holders owning Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part provided that notice to the Securities Depository shall be sent in accordance with the Securities Depository's policies and procedures. Failure to mail any such notice to any Holder or any defect in any notice so mailed shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of the Series 2017 Bonds of any other Holders to whom notice was properly given. Each such notice shall set forth: the CUSIP numbers and, if the Series 2017 Bonds are certificated bonds, the bond certificate numbers of the Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed, the interest rate of the Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed, the Date of Original Issuance of the Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price to be paid, the maturities of the Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed and, in the case of Series 2017 Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, the address and telephone number of the Trustee, the date of the 15 Board of Commissioners - May 1, 2017 ITEM: 12- 2 - 18 redemption notice, and that on the Redemption Date the Series 2017 Bonds called for redemption will be payable at the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee, that from that date interest will cease to accrue and be payable and that no representation is made as to the accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP numbers printed therein or on the Series 2017 Bonds. If any Series 2017 Bond is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state also that on or after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Series 2017 Bond, a new Series 2017 Bond in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such Series 2017 Bond will be issued. Any notice of redemption, except a notice of redemption in respect of a mandatory sinking fund redemption, at the direction of the Corporation, may state that the redemption to be effected is conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, and if such moneys are not so received, such notice shall be of no force or effect and such Series 2017 Bonds shall not be required to be redeemed. In the event that such notice contains such a condition and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Series 2017 Bonds are not received by the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date, the redemption shall not be made, and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received. In addition, at least 30 days before the Redemption Date, such notice shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Local Government Commission. Neither failure to give any such notice nor any defect in any such notice so given to the Local Government Commission shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for the redemption of such Series 2017 Bonds. Notice of redemption of Series 2017 Bonds shall be given by the Trustee, at the expense of the Corporation, for and on behalf of the County. (b) The Series 2017 Bonds shall be redeemed only in Authorized Denominations. If less than all the Series 2017 Bonds are called for redemption, the Series 2017 Bonds of each maturity to be so redeemed shall be called for redemption in the manner set forth in a certificate of the Corporation filed with the Trustee. If less than all of the Series 2017 Bonds of any one maturity are to be called for redemption, the Trustee shall select the Series 2017 Bonds of each such maturity to be redeemed by lot, each $5,000 portion of principal being counted as one Series 2017 Bond for this purpose; provided, however, that so long as the only Owner of the Series 2017 Bonds is a Securities Depository Nominee, such selection shall be made by the Securities Depository by lot in accordance with its operating rules and procedures. (c) If less than all of a Series 2017 Bond is selected for redemption, the Owner thereof shall present and surrender such Series 2017 Bond to the Trustee for payment of the principal amount thereof so called for redemption, and the redemption premium, if any, on such principal amount, and the County shall, if necessary, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the order of such Owner, without charge, for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Series 2017 Bond so surrendered, a new Series 2017 Bond of the same maturity and designation, bearing interest at the same rate of any Authorized Denominations. (d) Series 2017 Bonds presented and surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be canceled upon the surrender thereof. (e) On or before the date upon which Series 2017 Bonds are to be redeemed, the County shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Trustee money or Defeasance Obligations, or a combination of both, that will be sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and interest accruing on, the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. 16 Board of Commissioners - May 1, 2017 ITEM: 12- 2 - 19 On the Redemption Date, notice having been given in the manner and under the conditions hereinabove provided, the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall be due and payable at the Redemption Price provided therefor, plus accrued interest to such date (except in the case of a conditional redemption authorized by Section 3.02(a) if moneys are not so available), and if moneys sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date are held by the Trustee in trust for the owners of the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, interest on the Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to accrue on such Redemption Date; such Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof shall cease to be entitled to any benefits or security under the Bond Order or this Series Resolution or to be deemed Outstanding; and the owners of such Series 2017 Bonds or portions thereof shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the Redemption Price thereof, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date.

Section 5.04 Interest Account. On or prior to three Business Days next preceding each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee shall deposit in the Interest Account an amount which will be equal to the interest to become due on the Series 2017 Bonds on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that no deposit pursuant to this paragraph need be made to the extent that there is a sufficient amount already on deposit in the Interest Account for that purpose. If sufficient funds to make the transfers described in this Section 5.04 are not available in the Bond Fund on the third Business Day preceding an Interest Payment Date, the Trustee will give Immediate Notice thereof to the County and the Corporation, promptly confirmed in writing.

On or prior to three Business Days preceding each Maturity Date and each mandatory Sinking Fund Account redemption Date, the Trustee shall deposit in the Sinking Fund Account an amount which is equal to the principal of the Series 2017 Bonds next to become due by maturity or mandatory Sinking Fund Account redemption. No such deposit need be made, however, to the extent that there is a sufficient amount already on deposit and available for such purpose in the Sinking Fund Account to be applied to such next maturity or mandatory Sinking Fund Account redemption payment. If sufficient funds to make the transfers to the Sinking Fund Account described in this Section 5.05 are not available on the third Business Day preceding any Maturity Date or mandatory Sinking Fund Account Redemption Date, the Trustee will give Immediate Notice thereof to the County and the Corporation.

In lieu of such mandatory Sinking Fund Account redemption, the Trustee shall, at the written request of the County, at the direction of the Corporation, purchase for cancellation an equal principal amount of Series 2017 Bonds of the Series and maturity to be redeemed in the open market identified by the County, at the direction of the Corporation at prices specified by the Corporation not exceeding the principal amount of the Series 2017 Bonds being purchased plus accrued interest with such interest portion of the purchase price to be paid from the Interest Account and the principal portion of such purchase price to be paid from the Sinking Fund Account.

Money held for the credit of all funds and accounts created under this Series Resolution or the Bond Order shall be continuously invested and reinvested at the direction of the County or the Corporation (given in writing or orally, confirmed in writing) by the Trustee in Investment Obligations to the extent practicable. Any such Investment Obligations shall mature not later than the respective dates when the money held for the credit of such funds or accounts will be required for the purposes intended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investment Obligations in any fund or account may mature beyond the latest maturity date of any Series 2017 Bonds Outstanding at the time such Investment Obligations are deposited. For the purposes of this Section, the maturity date of repurchase agreements is the maturity date of such repurchase agreements and not the maturity date of the underlying obligations.

The County or the Corporation may at any time give to the Trustee written directions respecting the investment of any money required to be invested hereunder, subject, however, to the provisions of this Article, and the Trustee shall then invest such money under this Section as so directed by the County or the Corporation. The Trustee may request, in writing, direction or authorization of the County or the Corporation with respect to the proposed investment of money under the provisions of this Series Resolution. Upon receipt of such request, accompanied by a memorandum setting forth the details of any proposed investment, the County or the Corporation will either approve such proposed investment or will give written directions to the Trustee respecting the investment of such money and, in the case of such directions, the Trustee shall then, subject to the provisions of this Article, invest such money in accordance with such directions. Investment Obligations acquired with money and credited to any fund or account established under this Series Resolution or the Bond Order shall be held by or under the control of the Trustee and while so held shall be deemed at all times to be part of such fund or account in which such money was originally held, and the interest accruing thereon and any profit or loss realized upon the disposition or maturity of such investment shall be credited to or charged against such fund or account. The Trustee shall reduce to cash a sufficient amount of such Investment Obligations whenever it shall be necessary so to do in order to provide moneys to make any payment or transfer of moneys from any such fund or account. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such investment. 22 Board of Commissioners - May 1, 2017 ITEM: 12- 2 - 25 Whenever a payment or transfer of money between two or more of the funds or accounts established pursuant to this Series Resolution or the Bond Order is permitted or required, such payment or transfer may be made in whole or in part by transfer of one or more Investment Obligations at a value determined in accordance with this Article VI, provided that the Investment Obligations transferred are those in which moneys of the receiving fund or account could be invested at the date of such transfer. The Trustee shall not be held accountable for any depreciation in the valued Investment Obligations or for any losses incurred upon any authorized disposition thereof. Section 603 Valuation. For the purpose of determining the amount on deposit to the credit of any such fund or account, Investment Obligations in which money in any fund or account is invested shall be valued (a) at cost if such Investment Obligations mature within six months from the date of valuation thereof, and (b) if such Investment Obligations mature more than six months after the date of valuation thereof, at the price at which such Investment Obligations are redeemable by the holder at his option if so redeemable, or, if not so redeemable, at the lesser of (i) the cost of such Investment Obligations minus the amortization of any premium or plus the amortization of any discount thereon and (ii) the market value of such Investment Obligations. The Investment Obligations in such funds and accounts shall be valued at any time requested by the County Representative or the Corporation Representative on reasonable notice to the Trustee (which period of notice may be waived or reduced by the Trustee); provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to value the Investment Obligations more than once in any calendar month.

The County may, from time to time and at any time, adopt such resolutions amending and supplementing the provisions of this Series Resolution in the same manner as is provided in Sections 1001 and 1002 of the Bond Order for the adoption of supplemental bond orders and the provisions of said Sections 1001 and 1002 are hereby incorporated herein and made applicable hereto in the same manner as if herein set forth.

The property is in an area of Market Street that is zoned for commercial and office purposes. Just north of the property is the Liberty Baptist Church. To the east, across Market Street, are general commercial uses, including the development of an Aldi grocery store. The Amberleigh Shores Apartments are also located across Market Street and have been annexed into the City of Wilmington. To the west of the property is single - family residential housing. Access is provided to the subject property by Bump Along Road, a private road, from Market Street (BUS 17), and Raintree Road (SR 2146). The proposed development will consist of a 4,500 square foot convenience store, 16 fueling stations, and a car wash. This proposal will generate 189 trips in the AM peak, and 222 in the PM peak, and therefore a TIA was completed for the application. The TIA and approval letter can be found online at our Development Activity Page: http://planningdevelopment.nhcgov.com/development-activity/ The TIA approval includes the following improvements: Installation of a southbound right -turn lane from Bump Along Road to Mendenhall Drive. • Installation of an exclusive southbound U -turn lane on Market Street (approx. 800 feet south from Alexander Road). • Installation of a traffic signal for the U -turn movement. The 2016 Comprehensive Land Use Plan classifies the subject property as Community Mixed Use. The proposed development is consistent with the place type as it will provide an appropriate commercial service to nearby residents. The Planning Board considered this application at their April 6, 2017 meeting. One resident spoke in opposition to the application, citing concerns over crime, stormwater management, and environmental protection. In addition, the Planning Board discussed concerns regarding the location of the proposed development and a vehicular connection to Raintree Road. The Planning Board recommended approval (5 -2) of the application with the following conditions: Board of Commissioners - May 1, 2017 ITEM: 13 • The improvements required as part of the approved Traffic Impact Analysis must be completed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. • A two -way vehicular connection must be made to Raintree Road and extend to Bump Along Road.

One resident spoke in opposition to the application, citing concerns over crime, stormwater management, and environmental protection. In addition, the Planning Board discussed concerns regarding the location of the proposed development and conditioning a vehicular connection to Raintree Road. The Planning Board recommended approval (5 -2) of the application with the following conditions: A. The improvements required as part of the approved Traffic Impact Analysis must be completed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. B. A two -way vehicular connection must be made to Raintree Road and extend to Bump Along Road. This vehicular travelway must comply with the County's construction standards for private roads and must be included within a 30 foot access easement that is dedicated for public use. C.

Market Street is an extremely busy thoroughfare. The tract is already zoned for business use, but is an office & institutional district. The proposed use is permitted only by special use permit. Service industries need to be located close to the users they provide for. There is a long distance between the convenience store at Porter's Neck Road and the next facility to the south which is beyond the intersection of Gordon Road. The project fronts Market Street, a major thoroughfare, but will be accessed from Bump Along road. A traffic impact analysis (TIA) has been completed and recommended improvements will be conditions of any approval. The currently sub - standard road will be improved for two -way traffic width and a right turn lane added on its Market Street approach. The project is in the Ogden fire services district and will be serviced by public water & sewer utilities. A survey and environmental assessment was completed for the tract. There is a pocket of wetlands within the project area, but it is less than % acre and thereby eligible for a nationwide permit to fill for essential site improvements. Mitigating efforts have been incorporated into the design to avoid any adverse effects to the adjacent Brickstone Estates community. The plan does not propose connection to Raintree Road, so that traffic from the project could not impact those neighborhood streets. The properties back Bump Along Road will benefit from the improvement of the intersection of Bump Along Road at Market Street, and back the entire frontage of the project. Buffer plantings will be installed along the residential boundary. Streetyard, interior parking area and foundation plantings will add to the visual appeal of the project. The project is in the "community mixed -use" land classification, intended for more intensive urban development. Policy 4.1 suggests designating sufficient land area and suitable locations for various uses, and 4.3 suggests maximizing effectiveness of commercial uses by assuring that land is available within close proximity to the markets they serve.

A copy of the written notice is also attached. The meeting was held at the following time and place: Tuesday, August 30 2016 In the Azalea Room of the New Hanover County Executive Center, 1241 Military Cutoff Road, 6:00 — 7:00 p.m. The persons in attendance at the meeting were: Reference attached sign -in List & supplemental contact by email The following issues were discussed at the meeting: A brief synopsis of the proposed Development of the tracts was given. There was extensive discussion about the status of Raintree Road and that the community of Brickstone Estates would not want a connection to this project. As a result of the meeting, the following changes were made to the rezoning petition.. The Access drive connection to Raintree Road was eliminated, but a pedestrian walk provided. Rather than pursue a business district rezoning of both tracts, a Special Use Permit has been proposed for the frontage tract, and the rear tract will remain zoned for office & institutional uses for the present.

I've inserted my responses below in Red. Your representative is welcome to attend, but be assured that I will also include our correspondence in my required report of the meeting. This project scope has tripped the need for a Traffic Impact Analysis, which is also required prior to the rezoning process. It is underway, but time for completion is vague. My best guess for a process schedule would be petition submittal in October, a Planning Board public hearing in November, and Board of Commissioners public hearing for final approval in December or January. I will keep everyone that has responded to my letter and attends the meeting informed. You will also receive notice for both of those hearings directly from the County. Please don't hesitate to continue the dialogue after reviewing my answers below. Thanks! Cindee From: Reid Jackson [mailto:reid.jackson@ncino.com] Sent: Monday, August 29, 2016 5:07 PM To: cwolf @lobodemar.biz Subject: Bump Along Road Commercial Center Hello Cindee, I received a letter in the mail a few days ago outlining the proposed rezoning and development of a commercial center on Bump Along Rd. I purchased my property and home in February of this year at 118 Bump Along Rd., so I admittedly have some concerns around the impact of my property value due to the rezoning and completion of a commercial center so close to my residential property. I am unfortunately going to be out of town traveling for work tomorrow August 30th when the scheduled meeting will take place. I may send someone to represent me at the meeting, but was hoping I could get some questions answered over email and hopefully keep the dialogue open as things move along. Thank you in advance for addressing my questions and concerns. If there are any questions that I should direct to another party, please let me know. Is there any contact information or way for me to contact the party that is interested in developing the land? The owner / developer is Khalid Saleh. He can be contacted at email ksaleh3350 @aol.com - and I am copying him with this response. Can I get a copy of the application from the developer /interested party? There is no application as yet because the County requires that we have the community information meeting prior to acceptance of a rezoning submittal. How can I determine the economic impact to my property value if something like this is put in place? The subject property is obviously along the busy road corridor, and I feel sure that its current non - residential zoning was taken into consideration when your appraisal was done. The existing conditions are the sub - standard Bump Along roadway & the Church with little to no plantings or buffering from your property - while your yard is fenced and well - landscaped. If approved, this project will provide an expanded width of roadway back to the Raintree Road connector drive, a properly designed street intersection to Market Street, and full buffering and landscaping to meet County regulations. In my experience, residential subdivision developers these days are anxious to have small -scale retail opportunities at the entry points to their projects as a convenience selling point for new home owners. I noticed the subject property would need to be rezoned, what type of rezoning would need to take place and what is the property zoned as of today? 1 Board of Commissioners - May 1, 2017 ITEM: 13- 8 - 11 The property is currently zoned Office & institutional (0&1) which allows a reasonably wide range of uses, such as drug stores, banks & boat / RV storage by right. The convenience store would be permitted by Special Use Permit. With the purpose of a more transparent & comprehensive project, and to allow a few more complimentary retail uses, we felt that a "Conditional Zoning District" to Neighborhood Business (B-1) would be the more appropriate process to pursue. As explained in my letter, a CZD rezoning shows you what -the layout will be, guarantees improvements, and can limit the uses. Has the land been sold to the party that is thinking about developing it? My client has owned the property since 2013. What is the projected timeline for the project if it were to move forward? I will defer to him, but i believe that the convenience facility would move forward as soon as possible. The rear commercial strip would probably be a second phase - usually pending pre-leasing of users. What kind of barriers/buffers have been discussed around the subject property? The boundary facing your property, and also the rear & opposite side adjacent to residential zones, would have a 20' bufferyard. That can include dense plantings or both a solid fence & evergreen plantings to provide visual screening. The Bump Along frontage towards Market Street from the Raintree Road connector, and the Market Street frontage, will meet the County streetyard planting requirements. There are also requirements for shading and decorative plantings interior to the sites. What kind of businesses/retail offices have been discussed or have any? The convenience store is fairly straightforward as a use. Part of the self-imposed conditions we intend to offer for the rear commercial center are limiting those uses to the basics of office, restaurant, miscellaneous retail, and personal services.

This proposal would require a Conditional Zoning District rezoning 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 plan layout and surrounding area is attached. 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 Tuesday, August 30`h, in the Azalea Room of the New Hanover County Executive Center, 1241 Military Cutoff Road (behind the County Library), 6:00 -7:00 p.m. If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact meat 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. P.O.

Market Street, Alexander Rd. Raintree, Pencade and Bump Along Roads. The field evaluation was conducted 9 March 2016 the results and summary recommendations follow; This portion of the subject area is comprised of single family homes on lots ranging in size from .4 acres to over 1 acre in size. Undeveloped lots range in size from .4 acres to nearly two acres. Note that on the north side of Bump Along Road there is existing O &I/ Commercial buildings and parking area with a large amount of impervious surface and runoff. The soils in the subject area are typical for New Hanover County ranging from moderately well drained to poorly drained soils that have water at or near the surface for much of the year. The field evaluation revealed repeated instances of ponding and backwater in natural drainageways within the residents lots. Property owners should be advised that they are responsible for maintaining drainageways and or drainage easement through their property. Blocking of drainageways is a violation of NCGS 77 -14. No acts of wilful intent to violate this statute were observed. Conversely much of the ponding and backwater situations are being caused and exacerbated by inadequate line and grade in road ditches. Backwater and or standing water was evident in the rear of the 0.7ac lot of Hazelton Ct NCCP120 APN: R03611002001000(Shin Boo Min,owner 4- 22 -15) and the 1.7 ac. Lot at Hazleton Ct and Raintree Road lot NCCPI 9 APN: R03611002003000(GARTHWAL PROPERTY HOLDINGS owner 4- 22 -15). The 0.4 ac lot on Raintree Rd. NCCPI 25 APN: 203611003001000(GARTHWYL PROPERTY HOLDINGS owner 4- 22 -15) ponding observed interior property due to poor line and grade in road ditch. Additionally the 1.1 ac lot at Raintree Road NCCPI 9 APN: R03611002004000(Cape Fear Public Utility Au. owner 422 -15) was impacted by standing and or backwater. S17 -02 Special Use Permit Parcel Lot classified somewhat poorly drained to poorly drained on the south side. This parcel is adjacent to the aforementioned 1.1 ac site that had standing and or backwater water visible at the time of field evaluation. Be advised that similar conditions and situations were observed in the Pencade,Graystone and Beachwood Road portions of the subdivision. Summary: It was apparent that the residence of this area have been impacted by repeated nuisance flooding and vector control issues. Given the amount of standing water the number of mosquito and varmint control advertisement in the neighborhood is not surprising. Board of Commissioners - May 1, 2017 ITEM: 13- 12 - 1 The subject area would benefit greatly if adequate line and grade and cross drainage is established in road ditches and drainageways. Considering the predominant drainage pattern of the area, relieving the backwater situations at the 1.7 ac site and the 1.1 ac property in combination with adequate line and grade road ditches could lessen the situation. Be aware that permitting may be required, the extent of this evaluation was not to establish any riparian buffers or determine any 4011404 permitting requirements. Or to address any retention/detention requirements. 817 -02 Special Use Permit The quantity of runoff in this area is large. Given the amount of impervious surface runoff from the subdivision the runoff from the existing commercial property on Bump Along Rd. and the fact the areas soil taxonomy has a predominance of somewhat poorly drained soils should call this site into question. The lack of road ditch maintenance and obstructed drainageways has resulted in residence being repeatedly impacted by nuisance flooding and backwater. Adding additional impervious surface runoff to the situation detailed in this evaluation will result in additional flooding. S incearly, Kenneth D.
