APPROVAL OF FUNDING ALLOCATION FOR THE ASSOCIATION FOR RETARDED
CITIZENS
Ms. Lisa Poteat and Ms. Nicolle Nicolle, operators of the
Association of Retarded citizens Employment and Training Program,
requested funding in the amount of $18,300 to enable the program
to function through September, 1991. Due to federal budget cuts
in the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), federal allocations
have dropped from over $92,000 in 1985 to approximately $30,000
in 1990 with no funds allocated for FY 1991-92. The Center is
now closed; however, two grant applications have been filed,
which if awarded will become available in October and January.
Emphasis was placed on the unique type of program being
administered through an intensive process of working with each
client on a one-to-one basis to show how the job is performed as
well as assisting the client with the job until it is mastered.
The program has been most successful in assisting retarded
citizens to hold jobs and become active members of society.
Chairman Retchin commented on JTPA funds being allocated to
the YWCA-JTPA Program and inquired as to whether the Association

for Retarded citizens could become a part of this program. Ms.
Poteat stated the YWCA was approached with this idea in mind, but
an unfavorable response was received due to the necessity of
having to share funds.
Discussion was held on the structure of the program and the
possibility of obtaining private donations, fund raisers, and
grant awards. Further discussion was held on the governing board
being a state Board. Commissioner Sutton recommended that a
local advisory board be established immediately to involve
volunteers in seeking methods of raising funds.
o
Commissioner Barfield encouraged the agency to work closely
wi th the Southeastern Center in applying for grant funds and
coordinating the operation of the program. He commented on
personally knowing the difficulties experienced with mentally
retarded citizens in trying to hold jobs and stated the program
is worthwhile and should be continued.

Discussion of Cabarrus County Property Tax Case
County Manager O'Neal commented on the recent ruling .by the
North Carolina Property Tax Commission nullifying a contract
between Cabarrus County and a private tax consultant stating it
was against public policy. After a request from Cabarrus County
to solicit the support of the N. C. Association of County
Commissioners to assist with appealing the Property Tax
Commission's ruling, the Association has agreed to support
Cabarrus County in the appeal. The Association is requesting
counties to join in the appeal effort as well as participate in
funding the cost for the appeal since Cabarrus County has already
incurred approximately $200,000 in legal fees. County Attorneys
across the state will be receiving copies of the amicus brief in
mid-August with a filing deadline the first week of September,
1991. The matter contested was the contingency contracts entered
into by some counties with various fact finding firms relative to
back taxes; however, New Hanover County has entered into a
contract with Tax Management Associates on a flat rate basis.
Chairman Retchin stated each county is being given an
opportunity to make a financial contribution toward the cost of
the appeal on two levels: (1) counties with a private tax
consultant are being requested to contribute 2 1/2 cents per
citizen; and (2) counties without on-going contracts with tax
firms are being asked to contribute 1 1/2 cents per citizen. New
Hanover County is not considered as a county participating in a
tax contract because at the time the Cabarrus ruling was
rendered, the County had not entered into the contract with Tax
Management Associates. He emphasized the importance of
participating in this appeal in order to preserve counties'
rights to contract in whatever manner it so chooses to secure
assistance in equitably applying the property tax to all
taxpayers. These contracting rights are of great value and merit
protection.
Commissioner Greer disagreed and stated in the process of
contracting with Tax Management Associates, it began on a
commission and/or bounty basis with later negotiations leading to
a contract based upon an hourly rate. Now, the County is being
asked to support the right of another county who contracted on a

commission basis and he does not feel we should become involved
in support of this cause.
commissioner Sutton stressed the importance of all persons
paying taxes equitably. He stated, however, he could not support
collecting taxes through a company operating on a commission
basis.
chairman Retchin stated the commission basis is not the
issue. The issue is whether the County will have the privilege
of hiring a tax consultant to equitably apply the property tax to
all taxpayers.
(]
Consensus: After further discussion, it was the consensus of the
Board to take no action until the County Attorney has received
the brief and has forwarded recommendations on what action, if
any, should be taken.
Authorization for the Chairman to write a Letter to 7th District
Congressmen Requesting Assistance in Urging EPA to Oppose the
Siting of a Hazardous Waste Incinerator in Pender County
Commissioner Sutton commented on U. S. Senators and
Representatives having influence on the activities of EPA and
requested authorization for the Chairman to write a letter to our
Congressmen to request their assIstance in urging EPA to deny a
permit for siting of a hazardous waste incinerator in Pender
County.
Consensus: After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board
to authorize the Chairman to write a letter to the Congressmen as
requested by Commissioner Sutton.
Scheduling of Special Meeting to Hear a Presentation on the
county's Space Needs Study
County Manager O'Neal requested scheduling a Special Meeting
to hear a presentation from Herb McKim on the County's space
needs study. He recommended the date of August 26, 1991, in Room
501 of the County Administration Building.
()
Consensus: After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board
to schedule a special Meeting on August 26, 1991, at 9:00 A.M. in
Room 501 of the County Administration Building, 320 Chestnut
Street, to hear a presentation from Architect Herb McKim on the
results of the space needs study.
Discussion of Solid Waste Disposal on a Regional Basis
Chairman Retchin stated a letter was written on August 2,
1991, to the Chairmen of the Pender and Brunswick County Boards
of Commissioners requesting that consideration be given to
exploring solid waste disposal concerns on a regional basis.
Conversation has been held with the Chairman of the Brunswick
County Board of Commissioners with a favorable response; however,
no word has been received from the Chairman of the Pender County
Board of commissioners. Chairman Retchin stated he plans to
arrange a meeting among the Chairmen within the near future to
further discuss this idea.
commissioner Sutton stated he feels the concept is a
reasonable approach, particularly since the Waste-to-Energy
Advisory Committee has been appointed and is studying the solid
waste disposal issue.
n
commissioner Greer inquired as to the number of counties who
have already formed a solid waste group in the northeastern part
of the state? County Manager 0' Neal stated the counties of
Craven, Carteret, and Pamlico, obtained enabling legislation to
form an authority on a regional basis for solid waste disposal.
Chairman Retchin stated an authority would be an ideal way
to handle solid waste disposal on a regional basis and at the
same time alleviate political influences.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST TO REZONE PROPERTY ON THE
EAST SIDE OF U. S. HIGHWAY 117 NORTH OF PILGRIM CIRCLE TO 0- I
OFFICE AND INSTITUTION AND B-2 BUSINESS FROM AR AIRPORT
RESIDENTIAL (Z-437)
Chairman Retchin opened the Public Hearing.
Planning Director, Dexter Hayes, stated in June, 1988, the
applicant received approval of rezoning a portion of the overall
tract to B-2, although the applicant petitioned to rezone the
entire site.
The applicant now seeks to rezone the balance of the
property to B-2 Business. Several adjoining property owners
attended the Planning Commission meeting to voice opposition.
The Planning Commission was sharply divided; however, after
further debate, the Commission compromised and recommended that
the property be rezoned to a-I and B-2. The Planning Commission
felt a-I zoning along the perimeter of Pilgrim Circle would
promote a smoother transition between competing land uses. The
Commission also felt that reducing the coverage of B-2 south of
the Ennis property would provide greater protection to
residential uses north of the subject property.
.
Chairman Retchin asked if anyone from the general public
would like to speak in favor of the rezoning request. The
following persons commented:
Mr. Billy Miller, the petitioner, commented on the need to
expand the B-2 zoning in order to use the property to its highest
and best use. He agreed with the B-2 and a-I rezoning
recommended by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Ed Ennis, representing his mother and father, adjacent
property owners, stated if the property is rezoned, he simply
would like assurance that his family'S property will be rezoned
commercially when petitioned.

Chairman Retchin asked if anyone from the general public
would like to speak in opposition to the rezoning request. The
following persons commented:
Ms. Bessie C. McKoy, an adjacent property owner, expressed
concern for commercial encroachment which will increase traffic,
destroy the natural habitat, and possibly provide for the
location of a business in her backyard.
Mr. Wes Kingsley, an adjacent property owner, expressed
concern for future commercial development near residential
property and requested denial of the rezoning request.
o
Chairman Retchin closed the Public Hearing.
commissioner Sutton inquired as to how the buffer can be
kept in its natural state. Planning Director Hayes stated there
is no absolute control that can be imposed on a zoning petition
to preserve the natural buffer; however, the worst scenario would
be construction of an 0-1 structure 25 ft. from the adjoining
property lines which would require a 12 1/2 ft. buffer in its
natural state. He stated in his opinion the land will remain
unused.
Motion: After discussion, Commissioner Barfield MOVED, SECONDED
by Vice-Chairman Mathews to accept the recommendation of the
Planning Commission as presented. The floor was opened for
discussion.
commissioner Sutton recommended extending the 0-1 zoning
from the lots marked F-L on the map included in the agenda packet
in order to provide for a better transition.
Substitute Motion: After further discussion, Commissioner Greer
MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Barfield to rezone a portion of
the property adjacent to wildcat Creek north of the subdivision
to 0-1 and to rezone a portion of the property to the rear of the
B-2 District to B-2 Business. The action represents an amendment
to the Planning Commission's recommendation as stated in the
ordinance contained in the zoning Book II as referenced below.
Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER RENAMING OAK AVENUE TO LOFT LANDING
LANE LOCATED EAST OF MASON LANDING ROAD LOCATED IN HARNETT
TOWNSHIP (SN-63)
Planning Director, Dexter Hayes, stated a copy of a court
order closing Oak Avenue was presented to the Planning Department
this afternoon by Mr. Broadfoot; therefore, Staff would like to
continue the Public Hearing until the document can be reviewed.
Chairman Retchin asked if anyone present would like to
speak. The following person commented:
Mr. Tom Broadfoot, representing his mother, Ms. Corne lea
Broadfoot, stated the court order furnished to the Planning Staff
will show that in 1957 the road was closed and declared a private
road with 100% ownership by his mother. He requested the
Commissioners to drop the request since the road is already
closed and respectfully requested that his mother be allowed to
select a name, if in the future, the road should be renamed.

Motion: After further discussion, Commissioner Greer MOVED,

Upon vote, the MOTION
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST BY JOE PRIEST TO WAIVE THE
PAVEMENT ROAD WIDTH FROM THE OYSTER BAY DEVELOPMENT TO THE
ENTRANCE OF WINDCHASE SUBDIVISION (SA-12) APPEALED CASE
Chairman Retchin opened the Public Hearing.
Planning Director, Dexter Hayes, stated Joe Priest, the
realtor and listing agent for Windchase, a twelve lot performance
subdivision, is requesting a wavier from the road pavement width
requirement imposed by the County at the time of the preliminary
plan approval in March, 1986. The original preliminary site plan
required a road pavement width of 18 ft. running from the
existing portion of Cabbage Inlet Lane south approximately 285
ft. to its intersection with Windchase Lane. The petitioner has
requested a wavier for 12 ft. in width. The Technical Review
Committee of the Planning commission denied the request based on
the fact that the final plat had been recorded, and it was beyond
the scope of their jurisdiction to act on a site plan that was
approved and recorded. Currently, the County is holding a $5,000
Letter of Credit guaranteeing that the road will be constructed
as approved. The other concern of the Planning Commission was
that adequate vehicular access for those individuals who have
purchased lots should be completed as approved. Given the
critical need for two improved passing lanes for the amount of
traffic that will be generated when Windchase and surrounding
properties are developed, and the importance of safe and
accessible emergency traffic in and out of the area, the Planning
Staff recommends that Cabbage Inlet Lane be completed in
accordance wi th the approved plan and the minimum road
construction standards as adopted by the County.
Fire Marshal, Chris Elrod, stated a 12 ft. road width is not
ample clearance to move fire tankers back and forth on a road
when responding to fires.
Chairman Retchin asked if anyone present would like to speak
in favor of or in opposition to the proposed wavier for reduction
of the road width from 18 ft. to 12 ft. The following persons
commented:
Mr. Joe Priest,., a property owner in Windchase Subdivision
and the petitioner, stated the developer of this subdivision
declared bankruptcy in August 1989. Since that time, he has been
working to resolve the problems left by the developer and the
only problem unresolved is the width of the road from Oyster Bay
to the entrance of Windchase. The road is the same width as the
road coming out of Oyster Bay, but is three feet narrower than
the original approved subdivision plan. There is no easement
presehtly attainable to widen the road. He requested waiver of
the width in order to sell the remaining lots.
Mr. John Kirkum, an adjacent property owner, stated the road
issue has been complicated; however, he does not want the road
widened and is not willing to grant an easement, particularly
when the original developer did not contact him with reference to
Obtaining an easement.
Chairman Retchin closed the Public Hearing.
