Oppose project Public Comment The traffic on Porters Neck Road simply will not support a development that includes apartments.

Oppose project Public Comment The Board of Commissioners should examine carefully the proposal details for accuracy of content. The project as presented will have massive impacts on Porters Neck traffic, schools, infrastructure etc. It is not something the neighborhood is in favor of. This should be apparent based on earlier attendance at public forums by large numbers of local folks who will bear the brunt of impact. 1 Schuler, Brad From:mvolkmar=nhcgov.com@webformsnhcgov.com on behalf of George Benford <mvolkmar@nhcgov.com> Sent:Wednesday, May 27, 2020 12:43 PM To:Schuler, Brad; Meredith, Ron; Smith, Gideon; Vafier, Ken; Gartin, Jyll Subject:Public Comment on Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way Name George Benford Address 413 Black Diamond Dr Wilmington, NC 28411 United States Map It Email gbenford@gmail.com Projects available for comment.

Oppose project Public Comment Good Afternoon - we opposed this project and in the nine months that it has worked its' way through the system we have come to only oppose it, as proposed, more vehemently. The Logan Homes proposal is beyond sensible growth with this proposed density. Simply claiming that they have reduced their scope by 25% has only taken this plan from outrageous to less ridiculous. We intend to show how grievous this will be for our traffic infrastructure, public safety, storm water and coastal water quality, and the perilous impact on our schools. This plan, with the included apartments, is quite simply density for density sake and does not benefit anyone in the region except for the developer. 1 Schuler, Brad From:mvolkmar=nhcgov.com@webformsnhcgov.com on behalf of Trevor Matthes <mvolkmar@nhcgov.com> Sent:Wednesday, May 27, 2020 1:07 PM To:Schuler, Brad; Meredith, Ron; Smith, Gideon; Vafier, Ken; Gartin, Jyll Subject:Public Comment on Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way Name Trevor Matthes Address 821 Wine Cellar Circle Wilimington, NC 28411 United States Map It Projects available for comment.

Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I have lived in Porters Neck for 6 years. In that time I've seen a pretty, rural community become congested and clogged with new commercial and residential construction precisely in this area, major traffic issues at Porters Neck Rd and Route 17, flooding issues that have not been addressed and even the construction of a new school to accommodate all of these new residents in a variety of single family home developments and enormous apartment living communities. While I am not against progress, I AM against unreasonably sized developments that would further burden an already burdened community. The projected size and home congested development at Murray Farm IS MOST DEFINITELY UNREASONABLE IN SIZE. When I voted last year, I specifically voted for those candidates who promised to carefully view future development with an eye towards a comfortable, healthy and safe lifestyle v. those supporting the building of anything that would bring in tax dollars to New Hanover County. (as evidenced by the already tremendous growth in this area in just a few years. I respectdfully request that you further reduce this development at The Oaks. 300 homes is far too much in an area already saturated with development. I did not move here to live in a congested, city- like area. The commercial property/ business hideousness of Route 17 and the lack of restrictions on commercial properties for safety and appearance (as well as the redundancy of these businesses-when is enough actually enough???) is an unwelcoming vision as one drives down Market Street. Please don't allow another beautiful community to become overdeveloped and unattractive and unsafe. I voted for you to control development. Please do as you committed to your electorate.

Oppose project Public Comment I am against the Logan Project, The Oaks at Murray Farm, as there is already flooding problems in that area, especially during times of storms. Also, there already is too many problems with traffic in that area, getting out on Hwy. 17 N. Additionally, schools in that area already are crowded, some over-crowded. Indiscriminate building in NHC has already led to infrastructure problems. This would be another one of those projects. 1 Schuler, Brad From:mvolkmar=nhcgov.com@webformsnhcgov.com on behalf of Jeanne Gordon <mvolkmar@nhcgov.com> Sent:Wednesday, May 27, 2020 1:18 PM To:Schuler, Brad; Meredith, Ron; Smith, Gideon; Vafier, Ken; Gartin, Jyll Subject:Public Comment on Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way Name Jeanne Gordon Address 1106 Tennwood Drive Wilmington, NC 28411 United States Map It Email gordon.jeannel@gmail.com Projects available for comment. Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I believe The proposed density of apartment or town homes in this area would adversely affect the health, welfare and lifestyle of this residential area. I am not opposed to single family housing, which the area is already zoned for. There are other high density housing projects which have already been approved nearby which will affect the traffic flow and school density. This project would only compound those issues unnecessarily. It is my hope you will please consider ALL the impacts to the area before you make your decision. If you do that I'm confident you will see this change in zoning will have a negative economic impact on the surrounding homes and nearby communities. 1 Schuler, Brad From:mvolkmar=nhcgov.com@webformsnhcgov.com on behalf of Michele Brandon <mvolkmar@nhcgov.com> Sent:Wednesday, May 27, 2020 1:27 PM To:Schuler, Brad; Meredith, Ron; Smith, Gideon; Vafier, Ken; Gartin, Jyll Subject:Public Comment on Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way Name Michele Brandon Address 8828 Olympic Ln Wilmington, NC 28411 United States Map It Email chelmise@gmail.com Projects available for comment.

Oppose project Public Comment Would result in extreme safety issues in this already populated area.

Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment Very worried about more overcrowding around the Porters Neck area. The land for The Oaks at a Murray Hill is not suitable for mass rental apartments which really benefits the pockets of the builder. I am opposed to transient residents. I am opposed to expected increased traffic on Porters Neck Road, the rotary circle and Market Street. Our roads are already in poor condition. I am opposed to overcrowding the schools. I am very worried about additional flooding. I am not opposed to new single moderate and higher priced homes. 1 Schuler, Brad From:mvolkmar=nhcgov.com@webformsnhcgov.com on behalf of Lynne Loeser <mvolkmar@nhcgov.com> Sent:Wednesday, May 27, 2020 1:54 PM To:Schuler, Brad; Meredith, Ron; Smith, Gideon; Vafier, Ken; Gartin, Jyll Subject:Public Comment on Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way Name Lynne Loeser Address 816 winged foot lane Wilmington, NC 28411 United States Map It Email lkwloeser@gmail.com Projects available for comment. Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment We are writing in protest of the proposed Porters Neck development called Logan’s Oaks at Murray Farms development. We currently live in the Bishops Park neighborhood in Porter's Neck and will be significantly impacted by this proposed development. Our concerns include the following: · Added traffic congestion at peak times on Porters Neck Road and Market Street · Density of the housing which includes apartments · Flooding · Loss of wildlife habitat and trees · Crowding at nearby Porters Neck Elementary School I have heard the statement from county officials that “we cannot stop growth.” This is true. However, we can control growth through thoughtful planning to ensure the infrastructure is in place to accommodate the increased traffic and water runoff and flooding. We can also preserve trees for the enjoyment of all and to preserve wildlife habitats. There is no reason to have a higher density of housing within this area. There are ample apartments up and down Market Street that are affordable. Do not change the zoning to allow for higher density and limit to single-family homes and duplexes or townhomes. Require that valuable trees are maintained and setbacks are established to create barriers between existing homes in the area and the development. Limit the number of non-permeable surfaces and ensure retention ponds and other solutions are in place to prevent flooding of surrounding homes. We have been residents of Wilmington since 1994. We have seen tremendous and mind-numbing change in Wilmington, some for the good, but much for the bad. While people continue to pour into Wilmington due to the climate and amenities here, many of us greatly miss the “small town” community we once had. We recognize this is long gone, but we do hope our county commissioners make thoughtful and well-researched decisions that maintain the ambience of our county and safety for its citizens. 1 Schuler, Brad From:mvolkmar=nhcgov.com@webformsnhcgov.com on behalf of Eric Kennedy <mvolkmar@nhcgov.com> Sent:Wednesday, May 27, 2020 1:54 PM To:Schuler, Brad; Meredith, Ron; Smith, Gideon; Vafier, Ken; Gartin, Jyll Subject:Public Comment on Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way Name Eric Kennedy Address 7202 Oyster Ln WILMINGTON, North Carolina 28411 United States Map It Email theappraisalconnectionnc@gmail.com Projects available for comment.

Oppose project Public Comment Good Morning - please help Protect Porters Neck, and all of NH county. My opinon is that a moratorium on new growth is enacted until you can provide the infrastucture and storm runoff plans to support it. Logan Homes proposal is beyond reasonable growth/development with nearly 300+ homes/apartments on only 51 acres. Their proposal is ripe with misleading information, and inaccuracies, provided to those charged with making the decision. We know that this proposal will have dire consequences for our traffic infrastructure, public safety, storm water and water quality, and schools.

We are the Apartment & Storage Unit City. I'm not against growth. But besides money, greed and profits, why else would you consider changing a zone from single family homes, to a higher density apartment zone. You won't have to live with the congestion at the small round about on Porters Neck Road, or the traffic light at Market Street. It's so frustrating that we don't have the insight into who and what connections exists that even allows this to be considered. So when you approve this because of the "connected" few, and ignore the overwhelming majority of residents...go ahead and approve another Mattress Store next to it. 1 Schuler, Brad From:mvolkmar=nhcgov.com@webformsnhcgov.com on behalf of Karyl Dowd <mvolkmar@nhcgov.com> Sent:Wednesday, May 27, 2020 2:13 PM To:Schuler, Brad; Meredith, Ron; Smith, Gideon; Vafier, Ken; Gartin, Jyll Subject:Public Comment on Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way Name Karyl Dowd Address 613 Tibbys Drive Wilmington, NC 28411 United States Map It Email Krdowd@yahoo.com Projects available for comment.

We do not oppose individual homes being constructed at this location. That would be in keeping with the surrounding neighborhoods. Let them build homes...not apartments. The area should not be penalized with multi-level apartment housing because the developer paid too much for the property and now needs to over build to make the project work for him.

Oppose project Public Comment I have been a resident of the area in discussion for more than 20 years and a resident of NHC for more than 70 years. The proposed project, if approved as presented, will most adversely affect the Porters Neck, Old Market St. and Futch Creek Roads due to the increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic (private and emergency vehicles, delivery and service traffic). Surrounding developments recently completed and those under construction may not have been considered at the time of initial application and are now demonstrating the impact. During the time of "stay at home" the pedestrian and bike traffic has increased which has been a very positive thing for families, children and pets; however, the current traffic though reduced has been worrisome/dangerous due to the lack of sidewalks, bike and walkways. Increased "feeder traffic " from Futch Creed Rd. and Old Market St. in to Vineyard Plantation onto Jade Wood Dr., Chablis Way and Shiraz Way will increase hazards for children and adults. There is too much growth without forethought and proper infrastructure for this development to be approved as presented. Please take into consideration the amount of current neighborhoods, traffic, business and apartments before adding more to the mix and then regretting it later. 1 Smith, Gideon From:mvolkmar=nhcgov.com@webformsnhcgov.com on behalf of Marvin Vick <mvolkmar@nhcgov.com> Sent:Wednesday, May 27, 2020 2:32 PM To:Schuler, Brad; Meredith, Ron; Smith, Gideon; Vafier, Ken; Gartin, Jyll Subject:Public Comment on Z19-14 – The Oaks at Murray Farm – 8300 Block of “Old” Market Street/Shiraz Way Name Marvin Vick Address 741 squire lane wilmington, NC 28411 United States Map It Email gvick1950@gmail.com Projects available for comment.

I OPPOSE this application!!! I am not opposed to development of this tract of land. It's one thing to try to use the increased population in Wilmington to create a need for higher density housing zoning and more Rental units; and it's another thing to disregard the current zoning and current nature of the housing in this area. The current area consists totally of one family homes. There are only two roads to enter this area. This application looks to change current zoning and to build some new residential one family and lots of multi story apartments. I have attended every meeting! Not once did any Member of the Board suggest or ask the Applicant if they ever considered a combination of constructing one family detached homes and duplex designed one family homes. A neighborhood like that exists in Bella Sera, just .25 miles from the subject property. I am amazed at the amount of new construction of multi story apartments within 1/2 miles of this location. And every new apartment complex being built and which are similar to the apartments being planned here has entry and exit to them onto a main road, such as Market St or Military Cutoff Rd, rather than entering and exiting and driving through all Residential One Family Neighborhoods!. It does not make sense! It is not logical! Again, use common sense in reviewing the application.
