GFA 4 3 Page 3 of 6 Special Use Permit Application – Updated 02-2020 6. Criteria Required for Approval of a Special Use Permit A use designated as a special use in a particular zoning district is a use that may be appropriate in the district, but because of its nature, extent, and external impacts, requires special consideration of its location, design, and methods of operation before it can be deemed appropriate in the district and compatible with its surroundings. The purpose is to establish a uniform mechanism for the review of special uses to ensure they are appropriate for the location and zoning district where they are proposed. For each of the four required conclusions listed below, include or attach a statement that explains how any existing conditions, proposed development features, or other relevant facts would allow the Board of County Commissioners to reach the required conclusion, and attach any additional documents or materials that provide supporting factual evidence. The considerations listed under each required conclusion are simply those suggested to help the applicant understand what may be considered in determining whether a required conclusion can be met. Any additional considerations potentially raised by the proposed use or development should be addressed. 1. The use will not materially endanger the public health or safety if located where proposed and approved. Considerations:  Traffic conditions in the vicinity, including the effect of additional traffic on streets and street intersections, and sight lines at street intersections with curb cuts;  Provision of services and utilities, including sewer, water, electrical, garbage collections, fire protection;  Soil erosion and sedimentation;  Protection of public, community, or private water supplies, including possible adverse effects on surface waters or groundwater; or  Anticipated air discharges, including possible adverse effects on air quality. 2. The use meets all required conditions and specifications of the Unified Development Ordinance. THE PROPOSED RESIDENCE IS EXISTING, AND SERVICED BY A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMAND A PRIVATE SEPTIC SYSTEM. ITS ACCESS IS FROM THE SAME DRIVEWAY FOR THEPRIMARY OFFICE USE, AND ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES ARE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELYADJACENT TO THE HOME. ALLOWING THE OWNER OR A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE OF THEBUSINESS TO RESIDE ON THE PROPERTY PROVIDES SECURITY FOR THE PREMISES ANDTHE COMPANY VEHICLES THAT ARE PARKED OVERNIGHT AND WEEKENDS. A "LIVE/WORK OR CARETAKER UNIT" IS PERMITTED BY PRESCRIBED CONDITIONS INSECTION 4.3.2.A.7 OF THE UDO. ALL OF THOSE CRITERIA ARE SATISFIED. Page 4 of 6 Special Use Permit Application – Updated 02-2020 3. The use will not substantially injure the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity. Considerations:  The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers, hours of operation, etc.).  Whether the proposed development is so necessary to the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community or County as a whole as to justify it regardless of its impact on the value of adjoining property. 4. The location and character of the use if developed according to the plan as submitted and approved will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and in general conformity with the New Hanover County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Considerations:  The relationship of the proposed use and the character of development to surrounding uses and development, including possible conflicts between them and how these conflicts will be resolved (i.e. buffers, hours of operation, etc.).  Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan’s goals, objectives for the various planning areas, its definitions of the various land use classifications and activity centers, and its locational standards.

seanpmulligan@gmail.com Cindee WolfProject Planner cwolf@lobodemar.biz Hi Cindee,   I have reviewed the notice re: Freedom Lawns wishing to run their operation at 813 Piner.  My main comment is regarding possible noise disturbance from the operation.   At what hour in the morning will workers be arriving to load company vehicles and head out.  In my experience that will be at an early hour that will be noticeable to the neighborhood.  Please establish working hours and "non‐noisy" times.  Other than that I am OK with this use.  Sean P. Mulligan  Mobile: 203‐219‐2212  5756 Highgrove Place  seanpmulligan@gmail.com                Mr. Mulligan,   Techs (8)‐ Monday thru Friday 6:45am‐3:15pm   Admin (2)‐ Monday thru Friday 8am‐5pm   Owners(2)  There is no activity weekends or holidays.  • The only real activity is to fill the tanks – by normal hose ‐ from an on‐site well adjacent to the  proposed storage building, and hand load the plant‐care applications from the proposed new storage  building. No machinery like forklifts.  • All of those applications are non‐toxic substances and considered environmentally “friendly.”   We appreciate your contact and will include it in the project information report.  Please don’t hesitate  to email again if you have additional questions.   Regards,  Cindee                 Thanks, that confirms my concerns of early morning activity disturbing the peace.  I know that crews coming and going can be somewhat talkative and vehicle activity (doors and motors)  will be heard.  Hopefully Freedom will understand and inform their crews to transition as quickly and quietly as  possible.  Sean P. Mulligan  OW N E R  NA M E M A I L I N G  AD D R E S S C I T Y  / ST A T E  / ZI P

WILMINGTON 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.
