3. If applicable, prior to any site work on the site or surrounding property, a tree removal permit
must be obtained. All regulated trees must be identified (species and caliper) and any significant
trees removed must be mitigated.

4. Please be sure to provide a light plan to illustrate that street lighting, all exterior lighting, and
indoor lighting visible from outside shall be designed and located so that the maximum
illumination measured in foot candles at ground level at a lot line does not surpass 2.0 foot-
candles as specified below.
5. General considerations:
a. Please consider the placement of ADA approved parking spaces throughout the facility
for easier accessibility to all athletic fields.
b. Please be aware that your drive isle width may be reduced from 24’ to 22’ per Sections
5.1.4.B of the of the UDO.
Fire Services, Raymond Griswold 910-798-7458
1. Fire Lane - no parking signage may be required along the egress road to the park. Also each fire
hydrant, shall have NO PARKING signage placed by each fire hydrant. The NO PARKING signage
can be painted on the pavement or signage be placed at the above mentioned locations or
both. Everything else meets fire services expectations.
NHC Engineering, Jim Iannucci/ Phil Bevilaqua 910-798-7142
1. Meet all site requirements including brownfield regulations as discussed on Teams.
2. All stormwater controls discussed during previous Teams meeting shall be incorporated into
the design.
3. Stormwater permit for all new impervious.
4. Place all drainage conveyances that carry off-site runoff into properly sized easements that can
be taken over for maintenance by the Stormwater Services division beginning in July 2021.
5. Sediment and Erosion Control plan for all land disturbing activities.
NHC Engineering, Beth Wetherill 910-798-7432
1. Project is owned by the City of Wilmington. The land disturbing permit should be submitted and
approved by the State.
Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, Bernice Johnson 910-332-6620
1. Utility Plan Review required by CFPUA.
2. CFPUA water and sewer available via mainline extension.
3. Plans for mainline extension(s) will need to reviewed via CFPUA plan review process.
4. CFPUA details on the NHC TRC plan need to be updated to 2020 details.
NHC Environmental Health, Marie Hemmen 910-798-6664
1. This property should be served by CFPUA. Please verify. All irrigation wells/water lines must
meet setbacks to proposed and existing septic system and components.
2. OSWP Comments:
It appears that the soccer field proposal will be bringing in food trucks. This will change the
whole sewage flow calculations entirely. The current septic system (Flow Equalization System
with Low Pressure Pipe Distribution) is sized for 350 occupants per day (1750 gpd) without food
service. This septic system will need to be designed by a wastewater Engineer and an
Improvement Permit will need to be applied for to expand the current septic system through
COAST under Environmental Health. New total daily sewage flow will need to be calculated
based on the daily use/occupancy level for the entire soccer complex. Also, please see
attached, our State Engineer’s previous notes about the complex from 2004. A state review of
the proposed Engineer’s design will be required. Please note, that monthly water use records
Wilmington Athletic Complex– 205 Sutton Steam Plant Road – Commercial Site Plan - TRC Review
Page | 3
shall be provided along with Engineer’s System Design to assist in determining the maximum
sewage flow. The restrooms should be on a separate meter (apart from irrigation) to be able to
determine monthly water use.
3. Construction may not begin until the owners or his/her representatives obtain an improvement
(septic) permit AND authorization to construct for on-site wastewater systems from the New
Hanover County Public Health Department. A site/soil evaluation must be conducted to
determine if an improvement permit can be issued for this tract of land. Sewage flow will be
calculated based on SECTION .1900 - SEWAGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL SYSTEMS for the
establishment proposed. The area for the proposed septic system location shall not be
disturbed.
4. The existing “as built” septic system and all components (all tanks, supply line and drain field)
will need to be shown on a site plan, so we know what space we will have left to work with.

3. Per the North Carolina Fire Protection Code, Section 316.6. I will be looking at all adjacent storage
facilities on Metro Circle, to verify their compliance as well.
4. I will need a layout of what Lancaster plans to use in the "Right of Way" submitted to our office.
5. With the above stated I see no issues with the site plan, but they could be limited to actual use
on the property
NHC Engineering (Stormwater), Jim Iannucci 910-798-7142
1. Stormwater permit for all new impervious. As shown on Site Data Table, the gravel laydown
area is impervious and will need to be treated as such.

WMPO, Kayla Grubb 910-341-7890
1. The Lancaster Electric Yard should fall under LUC 180 Specialty Trade Contractor, and NCDOT
Congestion Management recommends using local data to determine the trip estimates for that
land use. The site plan and application for electrical storage/operations does not indicate enough
trips to warrant a TIA for a lot this size.
