CIM Notice 813 Piner_September 2020
Project Information Notice
September 15, 2020
To: Adjacent Property Owners
Re: Freedom Lawns
The owners of Freedom Lawns are interested in purchasing the property at 813 Piner Road and
running their business out of the existing office building. The only changes to the site would be
elimination of the western driveway, construction of a storage building to the rear of the tract,
and overall upgrade of landscaping to current standards. This proposal would require a
Conditional Zoning District approval from New Hanover County.
A Conditional Zoning District allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with
specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project.
Essentially, this means that only that use, structures and layout of an approved proposal can be
developed. A sketch plan of the project layout is enclosed.
The County requires that the developer notify the property owners within an adjacency to the
project and hold a meeting for any and all interested parties. This is intended to provide
neighbors with an opportunity for explanation of the proposal, and for questions to be
answered concerning project improvements, benefits, and impacts.
Due to the current COVID‐19 issue, however, a meeting cannot be held at this time. In lieu of
that, you can contact the land planner, Cindee Wolf, with comments or questions at:
Telephone: 910‐620‐2374, or
Email: cwolf@lobodemar.biz
We can also set up an on‐line meeting for a forum with multiple parties if requested. Please let
me know if you are interested in that alternative and arrangements will be made. All contact,
comments, concerns, and recommendations must be recorded in a report delivered to the
County along with the rezoning application.
Prior to this project being reviewed by the Planning Board & Commissioners, you will receive
subsequent notices of the agendas directly from the County. Those meetings provide public
hearings for comment on any issues pertinent to approval of the proposal.
We appreciate your interest and look forward to being a good neighbor and an asset to the
community.
