RE: Notice for Information Regarding a Conditional Rezoning Request
Dear Neighbors,
This is a Notice for information for all my Adjacent and Nearby Property Owners in the proximity of Middlesound LLC
properties. The information contained in the notice is to inform you of a request by Middlesound LLC to New Hanover
County to rezone the property located at 500 & 3626 Middle Sound Loop Road. In addition, the election to request a
Conditional Use Rezoning will be applied for that provides the opportunity to establish specific standards and conditions
pertaining to this application during the New Hanover County Planning Board and Commissioners procedures.
This Notice for Information was directed by the New Hanover County Planning Department Planning in lieu of
conducting a Community Meeting due to the current limitations for assembly of gatherings from the Coronavirus
restrictions. As required by the County, this Notice of Information is sent to all property owners within 500 feet of the
property boundary and available to all other interested parties.
Middlesound LLC is requesting a Conditional Rezoning Request to allow the currently zoned R-20 designation to
Conditional R-5 Residential District designation in accordance with New Hanover County’s Unified Development
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan for 500 & 3626 Middle Sound Loop Road (3.35 acres). The properties are at an
average elevation of +27, with no wetlands present, are not in a flood zone and are serviced by all required utilities.
Since assembling these properties in 2004, in preparation for the future development 500 & 3626 Middle Sound Loop
Road, Middlesound LLC in 2009 assigned easement entitlements for access, utilities and stormwater drainage on
adjacent properties to the south along Pickway Court, all owned by Middlesound LLC. The easement entitlements
(approximately .7 acres) are adjacent to and support the access, utilities and stormwater drainage regarding the
proposed 3.35 acres rezoning request for Conditional R-5 Residential District designation. A total of 4 acres support
the proposed improvement program.
The properties have been managed over the past decade incorporating tree spading trees, erecting a fence buffer
along the easement entitlements on the adjacent Pickway Court homes, preparing several trees for future relocation
within the properties and maintaining the existing drainage systems
.
After several years of exploring alternative designs, “Demarest Pointe” neighborhood evolved with a priority to
achieve sustainability, diversity, ecology and connectivity. Demarest Pointe achieves minimum traffic impacts (3 trips
entering - 9 trips exiting, am and 10 trips entering - 6 trips exiting, pm), a priority for tree preservation and
accommodating in excess of a 100-year storm event in a park like setting.
The Demarest Pointe neighborhood provides a total of 24 Townhome Residences arranged in six (6) buildings with
four (4) residences per building, each 1,700 sq ft., 3 bedroom, 3 ½ baths with a one car garage. The residences are
positioned on two well defined one way “courtyard” streets with parallel parking, sidewalks and landscape islands.
Each residence has a service alley and additional parking. Demarest Pointe is surrounded by the existing forest
canopy for the entire perimeter of the neighborhood. There is an extensive sidewalk network that provides access to
the Demarest Pointe Post Office, Demarest Pointe Park, Pickway Court, Odgen Elementary School and the
Middlesound Loop Multi Use Path.
Should you require additional information or clarification, I will welcome the conversation. Please contact me at 910-
231-2428 or middlesoundllc@yahoo.com
