Kluttz, Secretary Department of Cultural Resources Ac Exhibit Pa e Book 9 =� APPENDIX R NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION November 7, 2017 Operations Division Item: Joint Resolution Between New Hanover County and New Hanover County Board of Education Regarding Newland Communities (RiverLights). Background/Historical Context: Newland Communities is the developer of RiverLights, located along River Road in Wilmington, NC. In accordance with their Development Agreement with the City of Wilmington, Newland Communities shall reserve a site of no less than fifteen (15) acres in size for an elementary school. If New Hanover County and the New Hanover County Board of Education decide within the first twenty (20) year term of this Agreement that an elementary school located within RiverLights is needed to adequately serve this section of the county, and provided that a suitable location within RiverLights can be agreed upon, then Newland Communities shall dedicate that tract to the New Hanover County Board of Education in fee simple along with other necessary easements for utilities and access. Recommendation: Approval Rationale for Recommendation: The Resolution will provide notice to Newland Communities in accordance with their Development Agreement with the City of Wilmington of the need for an elementary school site to adequately serve this section of the county. Short and Long Term Impact: The Resolution will allow the School System to work with Newland Communities to identify a suitable site for the elementary school, and develop preliminary budgets and a projected timeline for the new school. Neither the County nor the School System have identified funding for construction of the new school.
