The following comments have been received for the March 11, 2020 TRC meeting.
Please note: following the TRC meeting, a revised preliminary plan addressing each of the below items
must be resubmitted prior to receiving preliminary plan approval.
Planning, Gideon Smith 910-798-7571
1. Please update the plan with the following general corrections:
a. It appears that the phasing shown on this Preliminary Plan does not match what is shown
on the recorded Final Plats for Phases 1 and 2. Please adjust accordingly.
b. Please add the passive open space to the Site Data Table.
2. Per Section 41 of the Subdivision Ordinance, rights-of-way and improvements must be extended
to the boundary of the development and the connection to Creekstone Lane is required. In
addition, subdivisions may be exempt from the connectivity ratio standard provided there is no
option for providing stub streets or connectivity due to existing documented environmental
features. If this connection is made, it will remove a node and will result in a ratio closer to what is
typically required by the Ordinance without a waiver.
a. Please provide documentation stating why the connection to Creekstone Lane is unable to
be made.
3. Please provide the roadway cross section and a cul-de-sac detail.
Fire Services, Raymond Griswold 910-798-7448
1. I have reviewed the changes for this proposed subdivision. It appears they are adding more homes
and dropping some Town Homes. The issue I have is with eliminating the connectivity of Creek
Stone Lane. This needs to continue through into the adjacent sub-division. We are only talking a
few feet. Not only would this aide Fire, EMS and Law response, school bus connectivity would be
enhanced. We are against not connecting this thorough fare.
2. Everything else meets County Fires Expectations.

USACE, Rachel Capito 910-251-4487
1. The Corps has concerns about the Parsons Mill Site. The most recent Corps permit was issued July
24, 2013 and expired March 18, 2017 with our new Nationwide Permits. Under our permit rules
we would have allowed for the continuation of the development through the 5 year period which
would have been July 24, 2018. The applicant has continued work in wetlands/waters through
2019 as well which the Corps considers to be a permit non-compliance issue. The Corps is also
concerned that the original permit conditions that required a Conservation Declaration be
recorded in the New Hanover County Register of Deeds was never recorded. The Corps will be
contacting the applicant directly to resolve these issues, but no permits will be issued from our
office until this issue is resolved and the Corps considers this to be a permit non-compliance
matter.
