There are plenty of unused properties and there is enough development happening all over the county. The county does not
need more major development projects. Too many trees are being cut down. There are plenty of empty houses, apartment,
condos, and townhouses. There is no need for more housing in this area. Clearly, a needs assessment was not conducted.

This development would bring hundreds more vehicles onto Carolina Beach Road every day. What is the rationale for cutting
down millions of trees, building more apartments, condos and houses, creating more traffic congestion and challenge to our
infrastructure - except to put money into someone's pocket? We need some better planning for NH County. Please look at the
big picture here, not just the money.

We feel that with 3 exits leaving the area, one being the proposed egress and the other being the proposed double right turn
only lane at the end of Manassas, there is not nearly enough support for the large amount of incoming traffic. The only single
entrance back into the area will be at Manassas. The traffic is heavy now and more of it will be an overwhelming burden on our
small community than it is already. We have so many more people walking, pushing strollers, children and adults biking, and
children skateboarding In the street that the amount of traffic has become unsafe for them.
In the past couple of months since the traffic has subsided during the stay at home orders, we have been able to open our front
windows and once again enjoy sitting out on our front porch. There has been much less pollution from exhaust fumes and much
less noise from the large amount of traffic.
The land adjacent to our property that was once level with our property has been removed by the developer has left left an
existing steep slope. We have not yet been able to get a firm answer as to what the developer is going to do to stabilize the area
from eroding. We have contacted The county planner and the county engineering department and also made an effort at the first
community meeting. (Picture attached)
We feel that with the traffic, pollution, noise and steep slope added, our home has been devalued. We purchased this home at
the end of a quiet street. We would not consider it now.

Start requiring developers to pay HUGE impact fees up front. We are tired of them raping our areas, and footing the bills for
increased traffic, crowded schools, flooding following clear cutting, etc. Starting to look like all you folks care about is increasing
your tax base. We will remember in November!

I am writing as a citizen residing in the southern part of New Hanover County, and I am opposed to the proposal Z20-03 to
rezone part of the Tarin Woods II development from R15 to R5. The purpose of the rezoning is to build higher-density multi-unit
residential structures in a development that was approved for single-family homes only. Rezoning would cause a significant
increase of traffic in that region. That impacts all of us living south of Sanders Road. The impact is not only on daily drives to
and from regions north of Monkey Junction, but it also aggravates the dangerous bottleneck right there in case of some
emergency that requires evacuation (e.g. meltdown at Brunswick Nuclear Facility, explosion at Sunny Point, or a hurricane).
Since I do not
live in the immediate vicinity of Tarin Woods, I am not directly affected by the severe traffic congestion in and around Manassas
Drive. I am nevertheless sympathetic to the plight of my friends who do live there. They believe that this proposal to rezone,
before completing the original planned development, is motivated purely by greed and is an obvious process of bait-and-switch
which should be discouraged by planners in our county.

We’ve lived in Wilmington 21/2 months now and are new to the Tarin Woods development. We oppose the addition of
commercial and multi unit residences. The city is already poorly designed with having only one main north/southbound thruway
that is heavily trafficked. Adding this addition is a sore disregard for residents and will create not only more traffic but it seems
would cause more stress to irrigation and sewage. Can we please leave some trees and beauty? There are enough developers
putting up cookie cutter blocks and increasing population in an area that doesn’t support it.
