ADDITIONAL ITEMS
UPDATE ON ARCHMILL SUBDIVISION
Chairman Caster provided the Board with an update on the Archmill Subdivision and relayed the findings
from Deputy County Attorney Kemp Burpeau which stated that he had talked with Alton Lennon, the attorney
representing the developer Archie McGirt, and John Klein, the project engineer for the Archmill Subdivision project.
There is one hydrant location site that has to be finalized with the City and then the City can finish the inspection.
The water system is pressurized and functioning and he is not aware of any punch list items that will constitute any
problem in completing. The Board of Adjustment in their last meeting received an update and continued proceedings
until their May meeting to afford the developer the opportunity to finish the project.
Chairman Caster also relayed information from County Engineer Greg Thompson who has received
information from Mr. Klein that the water system has been completed. The system was pressure tested on April 19,
the lab results from the disinfection activities was received on April 24, the system was connected to the City of
Wilmington on April 25, and the Engineer’s Certification was issued on April 26. The State has not responded to the
Engineers Certification which Mr. Klein has represented as the only hold up to the connections. There are some punch
list items remaining however they have been characterized as minor and not an obstruction to use of the system.
Paving will begin once the hydrant is installed and the City inspects the work.
