911 Surcharge Charge Account to fund a digital orthophotography mapping project when the
County is in the process of expanding the 911 Center.
Deputy County Manager Atkinson explained that 911 Surcharge funds are divided into two
groups: (1) wireless funding; and (2) funding for other restricted uses. The wireless funds can be
used for the orthophotography mapping project which will assist the Center in better responding to
calls. There are sufficient funds in the 911 Surcharge account to pay for future equipment upgrades.

REGULAR MEETING, SEPTEMBER 4, 2001 PAGE 763
DISCUSSION OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 7 - ESTABLISHMENT OF A USER FEE
FOR USE OF FIRING RANGE
Commissioner Boseman expressed concern for charging only $200 per year for unlimited use
of the firing range by the City or other entities when a considerable amount of funding is being spent
in developing the firing range.
Deputy County Manager Atkinson explained that approximately $180,000 is being spent on
the firing range and advised that when the City or other municipalities use the range, the entity
provides its own ammunition and personnel at no cost to the County. The fee is being established
to cover the cost of cleanup and removing lead from the firing range.
Commissioner Pritchett asked if the County had to provide a Range Safety Officer.
Deputy County Manager Atkinson advised that New Hanover County has a Range Safety
Officer who works for the Sheriff’s Department during off hours to avoid overtime pay. If a
municipality wants to use the County’s Range Safety Officer, the municipality will be required to pay
for the service. He also noted that the fee will not offset the cost of operation, but it will serve as a
token payment to let other entities know that use of the firing range is not free.
Commissioner Boseman expressed concern for the fee being extremely low and stated that
she felt other entities would abuse the use.
County Manager O’Neal suggested that Staff monitor the cost of operating the range for one
year and then determine if the fee should be increased or if the structure of operation should be
changed.
The Board agreed with monitoring the use of the range for the first year of operation.
Vote:
Chairman Davis called for a vote on Consent Agenda Item 7, and the Board voted 4 to 1 to
establish the user fee of $200 annually for outside entities using the firing range. Commissioner
Boseman voted in opposition.
DISCUSSION OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 8.1 - APPROVAL OF BUDGET
AMENDMENT #02-0040-HUMAN SERVICES TRANSPORTATION
Vice-Chairman Greer requested an explanation of why funds were being removed from the
Commissioners’ Appropriated Fund Balance for transportation.
Finance Director Bruce Shell explained that since the bid came in at $130,140 instead of the
$140,514, a budget amendment had to be prepared to reimburse the Commissioners’ Appropriated
Fund Balance by the $10,000.
Vote:
Chairman Davis called for a vote on Consent Agenda Item 8.1, and the Board voted
unanimously to approve the Budget Amendment #02-0040 as listed below.

projects.
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERSBOOK 28

because this is a running balance that is not closed and rolled over at the end of each fiscal year. The

rd
deceased on behalf of his wife, and stated that Colonel Hoyt was the founding father of the 1033
Reserve Training Unit. In the 80s when he was Commander of the Unit, he worked with Emergency
Director Dan Summers to be sure that the Unit became totally involved in community activities.
Colonel Hoyt’s dedicated effort inspired each member of the Unit to continue to serve their
community.
Chairman Davis expressed appreciation to Lieutenant Colonel Griffith for the privilege and
rd
honor to present a small token of recognition to the members of the 1033 Reserve Training Unit
who have assisted our citizens and families during hurricanes.
Commissioner Caster referenced the August 27, 2001, memorandum from County Manager
O’Neal regarding the hurricane policy and the lack of State and FEMA reimbursements if a hurricane

REGULAR MEETING, SEPTEMBER 4, 2001 PAGE 765
should occur this season. He also referenced the Week In Review memorandum from County
Manager O’Neal commenting on the future of Project Impact and stated that he felt New Hanover
County should continue to be involved with this project. He requested Staff to keep the Board
informed about these issues.
PRESENTATION OF PUBLICATION LAWN CARE & WATER QUALITY BEST
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, A HOMEOWNERS GUIDE
Director of Planning Dexter Hayes reported that when the New Hanover County Tidal Creeks
Program was established in 1999 following a grant award of $6,000,000 from the Clean Water
Management Trust Fund, several water quality enhancement strategies, including the acquisition of
Airlie Gardens were developed as part of the Tidal Creeks Program. The educational component of
the program was to provide strategies to educate the public about techniques to reduce non-point
source run-off into the watersheds. To meet this requirement, the New Hanover Tidal Creeks
Watershed Management Advisory Board decided to publish the, Lawn Care & Water Quality Best
Management Practices, to provide lawn management and techniques to residents living along Futch
Creek, Pages Creek, Howe Creek, Bradley Creek, Hewletts Creek, and Whiskey Creek to better
protect the water quality in these creeks.
In closing, Director Hayes referenced the amount of information in the publication and stated
it will be distributed free of charge to the public through the Environmental Division of the Health
Department, Cooperative Extension Services, and Planning Department. He also recognized the
efforts of Dr. Bruce Williams, who authored the publication; Dr. Michael Mallin,Center for Marine
Sciences, UNCW; Tracy Skrabal, N. C. Coastal Federation; Marlyn Stowell, New Hanover County
Soil & Water Conservation; and the N. C. Cooperative Extension Office in Wilmington for the time
and effort given to prepare the publication.
On behalf of the Board, Chairman Davis expressed appreciation to Planning Director Hayes,
members of the Tidal Creeks Watershed Management Advisory Board, Dr. Bruce Williams, Dr.
Michael Mallin, Ms. Tracy Skrabal, Ms. Marlyn Stowell, and the Cooperative Extension Service for
the effort given to prepare the publication.
Commissioner Pritchett suggested placing copies of the publication in the public libraries.
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH AN OPTIONAL COVERAGE
RELOCATION PLAN FOR NEW HANOVER COUNTY
Planner Wanda Coston reported as a recipient of Community Development Block Grant funds
and other federal and state funds relating to housing activities, New Hanover County is required to
adopt an Optional Relocation Plan as outlined under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act. The purpose of this plan is to compensate individuals who may
be permanently or temporarily displaced as the result of Community Development Block Grant
activities or other housing activities.
After discussion of the grant being federal funding with no required County match, Chairman
Davis asked if any member of the Board would like to comment.
Vice-Chairman Greer spoke on being confused because he thought that a plan had already
been adopted.
Planner Coston explained that when a Community Development Block Grant is awarded, the
County has to adopt a relocation plan for each grant award. If the County does not adopt a plan, the
guidelines under the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act will have to be followed which involves a
more complicated plan.
Vice-Chairman Greer referenced the County being required to provide transportation,
maintain complete records, justify payments, etc., and asked if the grant award covered these
expenses.
Planner Coston responded that 10% of the grant award was for administration and planning
activities with no funding required by the County.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS
Discussion of FEMA Project Impact Program
Commissioner Caster emphasized the importance of New Hanover County remaining a part
of the FEMA Project Impact Program and stated if corporate sponsorship was needed, this should
be considered.
County Manager O’Neal informed the Board that a meeting will be held with the managers
of the municipalities to assess their interests in continuing the Project Impact Program. Regardless
of what happens at the meeting, it will be necessary to solicit funds from the private sector if New
Hanover County continues to participate in Project Impact.

making presentations in the Assembly Room.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST BY JAMES WARD, JR. TO REZONE
APPROXIMATELY .50 OF AN ACRE OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6006 AND 6008
CAROLINA BEACH ROAD, WEST SIDE, FROM R-15 RESIDENTIAL TO B-2 HIGHWAY
BUSINESS (Z-727, 08/01)
Chairman Davis opened the Public Hearing.
Planning Director Dexter Hayes presented maps of the property and reported that the
petitioner is requesting a rezoning from R-15 Residential to B-2 Highway Business. The subject
property is adjacent and south of the Harmony Woods Mobile Home Park and has approximately 100'
of frontage on the west side of Carolina Beach Road just south of Manassas Drive. The property is
also adjacent to a mini-storage facility, which is part of a large B-2 commercial district established
in 1983 and 1976. There is also a large commercial district developing at the Sanders Road
intersection to the north, and
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERSBOOK 28
REGULAR MEETING, SEPTEMBER 4, 2001 PAGE 767
the east side of Carolina Beach Road remains residential. The Land Use Plan discourages strip zoning
on major corridors; however, the addition of this piece of property to the existing commercial area
seems innocuous. The residential districts on the east side of Carolina Beach Road should be
preserved.
Planning Director Hayes reported that the Planning Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval
of the rezoning and no one spoke in opposition at the meeting held on August 2, 2001.
Chairman Davis asked if the rezoning request would be consistent with the Land Use Plan.
Planning Director Hayes responded that the Land Use Plan does discourage the expansion
of strip development along major corridors; however, this is a unique piece of property that is
surrounded by commercial zoning. Staff does not have a problem with the rezoning.
Chairman Davis asked if the petitioner would like to speak.
Mr. James Ward, the petitioner, advised that he purchased a house located on the site to
repair it for rental purposes. When realizing that the house could not be repaired, the property was
cleared, and he is requesting B-2 Highway Business zoning because the site is not suitable for
residential use. He requested the Board to approve the rezoning as petitioned.
Chairman Davis asked if anyone from the public would like to speak in opposition of the
petition.
Hearing no comments, Chairman Davis closed the Public Hearing.
Motion:
Commissioner Caster MOVED, SECONDED by Vice-Chairman Greer, to rezone
approximately one-half of an acre located at 6006 and 6008 on the west side of Carolina Beach Road,
south of Sanders Road to B-2 Highway Business from R-15 Residential as recommended by the
Planning Board. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
A copy of AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNTY OF NEW HANOVER AMENDING THE
ZONING MAP OF ZONING AREA NO. 4 OF NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NORTH
CAROLINA, ADOPTED APRIL 7, 1971, is hereby incorporated as a part of the minutes and is
contained in Zoning Book I, Section 4, Page 62.
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST TO NAME A ROAD LOCATED IN THE
7100 BLOCK OF CAROLINA BEACH ROAD AND RE-ASSIGN MAILING ADDRESSES
Chairman Davis opened the Public Hearing.
Planning Director Dexter Hayes reported that an examination of the unnamed private road
(30' easement) reveals a semi-improved access consisting of gravel and dirt approximately 1,750 feet
in length extending from Carolina Beach Road east to the Intracoastal Waterway. Mr. Musselwhite
and his brother, who live along the road, located in the7100 block of Carolina Beach Road, have
requested naming of the road to Salient Point. Presently the road serves access to two (2) residential
homes with a third home to be built in the near future. Both existing homes presently have a Carolina
Beach Road mailing address. According to the applicant, Salient Point has been agreed upon by Mr.
Musselwhite and his brother. The road name has been approved by Emergency 911, and the
assignment of new mailing addresses will be needed to comply to the County's Address Grid System.
If the Board approves the road name, the effective date of the change will be December 3, 2001.
Planning Director Hayes reported that considering the importance of the enhanced 911 system
and timely service delivery, the Planning Staff recommends naming the private road to Salient Point
and reassignment of mailing addresses.
Chairman Davis asked if anyone from the public would like to comment on the road name.
Hearing no comments, Chairman Davis closed the Public Hearing.
