Subject: Bayshore Commercial Center – Commercial Site Pan – TRC Review
The following comments have been received for the January 22, 2020 TRC meeting.
Please note: following the TRC meeting, a revised site plan addressing each of the below items must be
resubmitted prior to receiving approval.
Planning, Brad Schuler, 910-798-7444
1. Please update the plan with the following general corrections:
a. The setback for Bayshore Drive is 35 feet. Property that fronts on two streets are
considered to have two front yards (definition of Lot Frontage).
b. It appears the FAR calculation may be incorrect (total floor area of all structures divided by
the gross area of the site).
c. There appears to be a proposed tree located within the parking spaces located adjacent
Market Street.
d. Staff counted 408 parking spaces (406 noted on the plan).
2. Medical offices would be classified as “Clinics, Medical” in the parking standards, which requires
four spaces for each doctor and one space for each employee (Section 81).
3. The street yard plantings and retaining wall along Market Street appear to be located within utility
easements. Please provide confirmation from the easement holders that these improvements are
acceptable.
4. Please provide the calculations for the for the interior parking lot islands. Interior parking
landscaping shall be provided equal to 8% of the total area used for parking, driveways, drive aisles,
and loading areas (Sec 62.1-5(2)(B)).
5. Prior to approval, the plans must be resubmitted showing the building footprints, loading areas,
foundation plantings, dumpster locations, and the outparcel design. The outparcel lot may be
submitted separately.
6. An additional row of plantings may be required within the rear buffer yard depending on the
retained vegetation. The new planting must be at least six feet in height when installed.

7. Section 62.1-3(1)(B)5 of the Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of 15 trees to be retained or
planted on the property for each acre disturbed by the development. Please add this calculation
to the landscaped plan and provide the number of trees being retained if needed.
8. All trees installed in accordance with the landscaping standards (parking, street yard) must be at
least 2 inches in caliper at the time of planting.
9. The Conservation Overlay District shows that wetlands may exist on the site. In addition to
delineating the wetlands, please provide the approved USACOE jurisdictional determination.
10. Is there any reason the southernmost drive aisle is 29 feet in width? This could be adjusted to 24
feet to reduce impervious surfaces.
11. The driveway design off Market Street next to the existing NHRMC medical office may create safety
issues. Discussions with NCDOT indicated redesign of the driveway may be required during the
driveway permitting process.
Fire Services, David Stone, 910-798-7458
1. All new construction must comply with Section 510 of the 2018 NC Fire for Emergency Responder
Radio Coverage (ERRC) more information can be provided to the Developer/Engineer if needed.
2. All new and existing buildings shall comply with Appendix J of the 2018 NNC Fire Code.
3. Detailed site plan will need to show access to the proposed outparcel, hydrant locations and FDC
locations.
4. No further comments at this time.
NHC Engineering, Phil Bevilacqua, 910-798-7072
1. A New Hanover County Stormwater Authorization-to-Construct is required. Stormwater control
measures are required to maintain the pre-development runoff rate for the 2-, 10- and 25-yr
storms. Analysis for the 100-yr storm is required to verify that no buildings are flooded.
2. On-site collection systems are required to be designed for the 25-yr storm and analyzed for the
100-yr storm.
3. Any off-site drainage is required to be delineated and conveyed through the site in accordance
with NHC standards.
4. The proposed pond appears to drain to isolated wetlands. An adequate outlet to the public
system needs to be identified. An outlet to Bayshore Dr. or the channel at the southeast corner
of the property may be alternatives.
5. Verify that the proposed retaining wall is not interfering with conveyance of off-site drainage
through the channel and adjacent floodplain at the southeast corner of the property.
6. The normal pond level should match the adjacent wetland elevations to avoid altering the ground
water level. This will maintain the hydrology of the adjacent wetlands and avoid sub-surface
migration to adjacent properties to the southeast. There may be some opportunity for bio-
retention or infiltration in the large landscape islands proposed near the property frontage to help
with groundwater recharge.
NHC Engineering – Land Disturbance, Beth Wetherill, 910-798-7432
1. Land disturbing plans have not been approved for the Shopping Center at this time.

Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, Bernice Johnson, 910-332-6620
1. Utility Plan Review required by CFPUA (new utility aligned plan review will need to be completed.
2. CFPUA water and sewer available
3. Sewer will require a private permit.
4. At this time capacity is available.
5. DWQ permit application will require a Planning FTSE; as we are working towards incremental
capacity upgrades at the downstream pump stations.
6. Capacity is also dependent on the analysis of the pipe collection system (gravity and force mains).
7. A capacity determination can be provided upon submittal of the NC DWQ FTA/FTSE Application
Form and a Preliminary Plan, this determination does not guarantee capacity.
8. Capacity is issued to projects on a first come, first serve basis, when capacity is available, the plans
meet Authority requirements, and the NC DWQ FTA/FTSE forms are signed by the Authority.
9. If hydrant is to be public, hydrant must be at Market Street, not extended into the property.
10. Per CFPUA Ordinance, Chapter 4, Article II, Sec. 4-29. - General water extension requirements:
“…the minimum distance for extensions shall not be less than one platted block or completely
across the lot frontage, whichever is applicable…”
NCDOT, Nick Drees, 910-398-9100
1. NCDOT has no comments on the site plan at this time. NCDOT is currently working with HNTB
with the design modifications (required by the TIA) to the current NCDOT Project U4902D. The
applicant will do a reimbursable agreement and the required improvements will be incorporated
into the project and installed by Sealand Contractors. If you have any questions let me know.
NCDOT District 3 (Brunswick/New Hanover) is now paperless. When ready to submit email all
information to Div3Dist3@ncdot.gov
Environmental Health, Marie Hemmen, 910-798-6664
1. Even though this property will be served by CFPUA for water and sewer, if there are any existing
wells located on the property, Environmental Health will require them to be surveyed and
properly abandoned. Well abandonments require a permit by Environmental Health prior to well
abandonment. There is no charge for these permits, however, an application is required on
COAST.
WMPO, Abby Lorenzo
