REGULAR ITEMS OF BUSINESS
ADOPTION OF A CODE OF ETHICS FOR THE CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS AND ADOPTION OF AMENDED RULES OF
PROCEDURE FOR MEETINGS OF THE NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MANUAL
Chair Olson-Boseman stated that she would make the motion to adopt the Code of Ethics for the current
Board members and the Amended Rules of Procedure for Meetings of the New Hanover County Board of
Commissioners Manual as presented. Vice-Chair Hays stated that she would second the motion.
Motion: Chair Olson-Boseman MOVED, SECONDED by Vice-Chair Hays to adopt the Code of Ethics for the current
Board members and the Amended Rules of Procedure for Meetings of the New Hanover County Board of
Commissioners Manual as presented.
Chair Olson-Boseman opened the floor to Board discussion.
Commissioner Zapple stated that he hopes this matter will be recurring every two years, for the new and
current commissioners to adopt. It is a helpful reminder to the existing commissioners and ensures that new
commissioners are fully cognizant of the Code of Ethics, particularly Section 2(g) on treating other board members
and the public with respect and honoring the opinions of others even when they disagree.
Vice-Chair Hays stated she also feels it is important to have this matter on the agenda for new
commissioners and current commissioners to adopt and sign anytime new commissioners come onto the Board.
Hearing no further discussion, Chair Olson-Boseman asked for a vote on the motion on the floor. Upon vote,
the MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Copies of the Code of Ethics and Amended Rules of Procedure for Meetings of the New Hanover County
Board of Commissioners Manual are hereby incorporated as part of the minutes and contained in Exhibit Book XLIII,
Page 24.7.
SECOND READING AND DENIAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO NEW HANOVER COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER
38
Commissioner Barfield stated there has been a lot of discussion on this matter and he is glad the $50 civil
fine has been removed but would make a motion to not approve the ordinance amendment. He thinks it is important
to look at other methods to provide housing for those that are unsheltered downtown and throughout the
community. A void will be created once Salvation Army leaves downtown, and ways must be found to help
individuals get back on their feet. It is important to have the ability to empathize but also to understand people's
plights. Commissioner Rivenbark stated that he would second the motion.
Motion: Commissioner Barfield MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Rivenbark to deny the adoption of the
amendment to the New Hanover County Code of Ordinances Chapter 38.
Chair Olson-Boseman opened the floor to Board discussion.
Commissioner Zapple stated that he understands and is empathetic to Commissioner Barfield’s point of
view. In regard to the chronic homeless at the downtown library, they have made it clear they do not want to go
anywhere nor partake of the services being offered to help them.
In response to Board questions, Deputy County Manager Tim Burgess stated that he does not have firsthand
knowledge on the conversations that have been had with the individuals outside the downtown library. He does
know that several agencies, including the County and Wilmington Downtown, Inc. (WDI), are working to provide
services to the homeless. He further confirmed that WDI has a person dedicated to working with the homeless in
the downtown area.
Commissioner Zapple stated that he was surprised the County did not have some of the basic ordinances
in place that provide important tools for enforcement. The ordinance amendment only provides the ability to
enforce the “…10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. no sleeping on county property…” and that if items are left unattended for
more than two hours, they are subject to disposal. Without those tools, he feels the Sheriff's department is unable
to enforce the most egregious cases on the property and referenced the reports of two assaults, drug usage, etc.
There is a need to make sure all the individuals are getting the help they need and want. He has been told that every
person that has been approached at the downtown library has chosen to stay there. He is not referring to those who
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BOOK 35
REGULAR MEETING, APRIL 4, 2022 PAGE 389
are down on their luck or somebody who has a temporary issue with housing as they can be met with the safety nets
provided by the County and City of Wilmington (City).
Commissioner Barfield stated that he is not sure what services the County provides to the homeless, but
knows it is not all social services. He would never say that everyone downtown has refused services. At the same
time, there has been a Sheriff's deputy at the downtown library for years and another deputy who rotates through
the other libraries. He would think the deputies would already know what they can or cannot do.
Commissioner Rivenbark stated he is looking at the homeless with a countywide perspective, who are those
that for a variety of reasons ended up in their current situation. He wants to help all of them, not just the people
downtown. He has spoken with several organizations since the last meeting and hopes they will step up to help fix
the issue as he wants to give them the chance to do so. At this time, he cannot support the request.
Vice-Chair Hays expressed appreciation for the discussion and stated that nothing is being taken away from
anyone, including the homeless population. The purpose of the ordinance amendment is to connect people with
needed services and move them to where they need to be for the services. Some need a wet shelter, which Salvation
Army is unable to provide, as there is not an active wet shelter in the downtown area. The ordinance amendment
would apply to all county properties, not one place in particular. By allowing somebody to extend their rights into
somebody else's rights such as prohibiting access to the library or other the public services due to fear, intimidation,
or the fact that it is a public health hazard, weighs on her as well. There are rights on all sides, and she wants to be
respectful of all those rights. If the item moves forward, she would like to make other modifications to it.
Commissioner Zapple stated he would make a substitute motion to table the matter until the Board has an
answer to this and moving forward, some form of other direction from staff that would provide a positive solution
to help the individuals who are the most affected as well as helping the Sheriff’s Office. Vice-Chair Hays stated she
would second the motion.
Substitute Motion: Commissioner Zapple MOVED, SECONDED by Vice-Chair Hays to table the matter until the Board
has an answer to this and moving forward, some form of other direction from staff that would provide a positive
solution to help the individuals who are the most affected as well as helping the Sheriff’s Office.
Chair Olson-Boseman opened the floor to Board discussion on the substitute motion.
A brief discussion was held about the need to work on this chronic issue and the desire to redouble the
County’s effort and then possibly revisit the ordinance in the future.
Hearing no further discussion, Chair Olson-Boseman asked for a vote on the substitute motion on the floor.
Upon vote, the SUBSTITUTE MOTION FAILED 2 TO 3; Chair OIson-Boseman, Commissioner Barfield, and
Commissioner Rivenbark dissenting.
Chair Olson-Boseman stated she was wrong in regard to this matter and does not think the ordinance
amendment should move forward without a solution. She asked for a vote on the original motion on the floor. Upon
vote, the MOTION PASSED 4 TO 1; Vice-Chair Hays dissenting.
A brief discussion was held about the ability to bring an item back for reconsideration by the Board. County
Attorney Copley stated that a person on the prevailing party could bring a matter back for reconsideration by the
Board at the same meeting. The ordinance could be rewritten to be brought back in the future for consideration.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL TO PURCHASE REAL ESTATE AT 6068 GORDON ROAD FOR A FUTURE FIRE
STATION
New Hanover County Fire Chief Donnie Hall presented the request to purchase real estate at 6068 Gordon
Road for a future fire station. With the extensive growth in the vicinity of Gordon Road, there has been an increase
in travel times to emergency incidents. The parcel located on Gordon Road meets the needs for the fire station.
In response to Board questions, Chief Hall stated the property is 10.25 acres and 160-feet wide. A fire station
can fit on that size parcel, but there are some restrictions with the parcel’s width. Staff is working with an adjacent
property owner to obtain additional land to make the site wide enough and have the needed road frontage. That
request will be brought to the Board for consideration at a future date.
Hearing no further discussion, Chair Olson-Boseman asked for Board direction.
Motion: Commissioner Barfield MOVED, SECONDED by Vice-Chair Hays to approve the purchase of the property at
6068 Gordon Road and grant authority for the county manager to execute all necessary documents including
navigating the requirements of the court ordered sale to include responding to any upset bids. Upon vote, the
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF BUDGET AMENDMENT 22-067 AND RESOLUTION TO AWARD A BID TO ES&J
ENTERPRISES, INC. FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF LANDFILL CELLS 11 AND 12A
Joe Suleyman, Environmental Management Director, presented the request for adoption of budget
amendment 22-067 and resolution to award a bid to ES&J Enterprises, Inc. for the construction of landfill cells 11
and 12A at a cost of $6,956,790.00. The decision was made to combine the two projects due to the amount of time
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BOOK 35
REGULAR MEETING, APRIL 4, 2022 PAGE 390
it takes to bid and deploy contractors to build the cells and the compelling cost difference per acre. There was a
need to have two bid openings due to the lack of bidders and ES&J Enterprises, Inc. was the only contractor who
submitted a bid both times. Consideration was given to rebidding a third time, but time is of the essence as further
delays would put the landfill dangerously close to the forecast of running out of space. The bid was significantly
higher than budgeted for the capital project fund for the southern property construction. The consulting engineers
performed an itemized evaluation of the bid results and worked with the bidder to reduce the cost for a couple of
items that were unusually high. Staff also removed items from the project that were felt could be done internally to
provide a savings.
Mr. Suleyman further stated that in order to not delay the project and potentially incur higher construction
costs, the department will need to take a loan from the County’s general fund in the amount of $3 million as the
department’s budgeted funds are insufficient to cover the cost of the construction project. The budget amendment
request will be used to balance to the Environmental Management Enterprise Fund (southern property construction
fund) to cover the increased cost of the cell construction project and provide a reserve for contract change orders
that may arise during the course of construction. The term of the loan repayment is over a five-year period and will
also change the department budget to incur an additional $2 dollar per ton in the proposed budget. At the end of
the five years the debt drops off and staff would respond to that in future budget years. The project return will be
about 3.25 years of space for the two cells at full buildout due to the level of incoming waste. He assured the Board
that every inch of space is being maximized because it is important to do so for the County.
In response to Board questions, Mr. Suleyman stated that mining landfills is not new. It has been around
for 10 to 15 years and cell 1 is the perfect example of what would be used for mining. Recycling was not the thing to
do at the time cell 1 was built and a tremendous amount of soil was used to cover the waste. The cell could be mined,
and the topsoil and decomposed organic matter can be screened out. Anything having a biomass fuel value is gone,
but what will be found is a tremendous amount of aluminum, brass, copper, and steel that could be removed for
recycling. The project is viable, is being evaluated as a future strategy, and the consulting engineers have confirmed
it can be done. If everything that was recyclable and compostable was taken out of the landfill, there would an
approximate 70% waste reduction. He also provided an overview of what can and cannot be recycled.
In response to additional Board questions, Mr. Suleyman stated the department budget is reviewed over a
five-year period and it can be seen when issues are going to arise. The cell construction process and associated
closure has accelerated. In the five-year capital improvement plan, it is one construction project after another. He
would not recommend deferring anything to do with environmental compliance and maintenance. The department
is running as lean as possible, but the population growth every three or four years, the 2018 hurricane, and the
construction debris going into the landfill, all combined, have pushed up a lot of the projects that would have
originally been five to seven years in the future.
A brief discussion was held about the potential tip fee increase to help with the increase in operational
costs. In response to Board questions, County Manager Coudriet stated that as he explained during agenda review,
he does not know at this point what he will recommend as a tip fee. The team is not that far along in the review and
preparation of next year's budget. The reference to the tip fee in the agenda packet is that if the Board approves the
request, which includes a five-year payback, it will increase whatever the tip fee has to be next fiscal year by at least
$2. If the Board approves the request, he definitely thinks it will be $2 and even if the tip fee remains at $48, the
action will take it to $5 because there is an obligation to pay back the loan. It could be stretched to a 10-year pay
back, which would reduce it by half. Mr. Suleyman included in the department budget is a need to increase the tip
fee. However, rarely does the team meet everyone where they ask to be but more operationally where they can be,
need to be, and financially will be. The reference to the tip fee in the summary was the worst-case scenario.
In response to Board questions, Mr. Suleyman confirmed that not all hurricane debris goes into the landfill
and another landfill cannot be built east of I-95.
A brief discussion was held about ways to encourage recycling and how participation rates in the County
have dropped. Mr. Suleyman stated that his team continues to develop potential incentives, educate, and encourage
recycling by the community. County Manager Coudriet stated that a huge policy step was taken by the Board when
it approved the first readings of the solid waste franchises under today’s consent agenda. The franchise agreements
will now require waste haulers who do solid waste curbside pickup to also do recycling curbside pickup. The same
will be required of any existing franchise agreements that come up for renewal at the seven-year mark.
In response to Board questions, Mr. Suleyman stated that since 2012 when the tip fee was $59 it has steadily
declined to where it is today at $48.
Hearing no further discussion, Chair Olson-Boseman asked for Board direction.
Motion: Vice-Chair Hays MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Zapple to adopt budget amendment 22-067 to
transfer funds from the general fund to the southern property construction capital project fund, and adopt a
resolution authorizing the award of the contract for cells 11 and 12A construction to ES&J Enterprises, Inc., at a cost
of $6,956,790, to include a 5-year repayment via a $2.00 increase in the tip fee. Upon vote, the MOTION PASSED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Copies of the resolution and budget amendment 22-067 are hereby incorporated as part of the minutes
and contained in Exhibit Book XLIII, Page 24.8.

REGULAR MEETING, APRIL 4, 2022 PAGE 391
PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED $34,000,000 FINANCING OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND ADOPTION OF
APPROVING RESOLUTION
Chair Olson-Boseman stated that the Board of County Commissioners adopted on March 21, 2022 a
Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the County of New Hanover, North Carolina, Authorizing the
Negotiation of an Amendment to an Installment Financing Contract, Directing the Publication of Notice with Respect
Thereto, Declaring the Intent of the County to Reimburse Itself for Capital Expenditures from Proceeds Thereof, and
Providing for Certain Other Related Matters Thereto. The Board determined that it is in the best interest of the
County to enter into an installment financing contract to pay the capital costs of constructing an Emergency Logistics
Center, installation of water and sewer lines and road improvements for the Blue Clay Road Business Park,
development of Hanover Pines Nature Park, and other various county and school capital improvements. The Board
must now conduct a public hearing concerning the Fourth Contract Amendment and the proposed 2022 Projects
and any other transactions contemplated therein and associated therewith.
Chair Olson-Boseman asked for a motion to open the public hearing.
Motion: Commissioner Zapple MOVED, SECONDED by Vice-Chair Hays, to open the public hearing. Upon vote, the
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Chair Olson-Boseman stated that no one had signed up to speak in-person on the matter, no written
comments had been received, and closed the public hearing.
Hearing no further discussion, Chair Olson-Boseman asked if there was a motion to close the public hearing
and adopt the Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the County of New Hanover, North Carolina, Approving
an Amendment to an Installment Financing Contract and Delivery Thereof and Providing for Certain Other Related
Matters.
Motion: Commissioner Zapple MOVED, SECONDED by Vice-Chair Hays to close the public hearing and adopt the
resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the County of New Hanover, North Carolina, approving an amendment
to an installment financing contract and delivery thereof and providing for certain other related matters. Upon vote,
the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVAL OF A REQUEST BY CINDEE WOLF WITH DESIGN SOLUTIONS, APPLICANT, ON
BEHALF OF ATLANTIC COAST HOLDINGS, LLC, PROPERTY OWNER, TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY FIVE ACRES OF
LAND LOCATED IN THE 6300 BLOCK OF SIDBURY ROAD FROM R-15, RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO (CZD) B-2, REGIONAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT, FOR A MINI-WAREHOUSE/SELF-STORAGE FACILITY (Z22-01)
Planning Supervisor Ken Vafier presented the request by Cindee Wolf with Design Solutions, applicant, on
behalf of Atlantic Coast Holdings, LLC, property owner, to rezone approximately five acres of land located in the 6300
block of Sidbury Road from R-15, Residential District to (CZD) B-2, Regional Business District, for a mini-
warehouse/self-storage facility. The rezoning request is to develop approximately 39,000 square feet of self-storge
and approximately one acre of recreation and boat storage. The site is located in the northeastern portion of the
County along Sidbury Road, approximately two miles east of I-40. The property is currently designated as R-15,
Residential, which was applied to the majority of the area between Sidbury Road and Holly Shelter Road in the 1970s,
when the purpose of the district was to ensure that housing served by private septic and well would be developed
at low densities. Since that time, plans for the extension of water and sewer services have become more available
to the surrounding area; however, it is still mostly zoned for low density housing. The site and surrounding area are
undeveloped. Sidbury Station, formerly Sidbury Farms, a by-right subdivision consisting of 758 total units on 300
acres directly southwest of the subject site, has been approved and construction is currently underway on the
infrastructure for the development.
The proposal consists of two enclosed self-storage buildings totaling approximately 39,000 square feet on
the northern portion of the parcel closest to Sidbury Road. The buildings are proposed at one-story with a maximum
height of 25-feet. On the southern portion of the parcel, approximately one acre is proposed for recreational vehicle
and boat storage. The plan also incorporates required parking, internal circulation drives, required landscaping and
buffering, and stormwater management. Twenty-foot-wide transitional buffers are proposed along the west, south,
and east boundaries. The buffers include an eight-foot-high fence along the west and south boundaries of the project
adjacent to Sidbury Farms, and streetyard plantings would be required along the Sidbury Road frontage.
Access to the site is proposed from Sidbury Road and will be subject to NCDOT driveway permitting
regulations. As currently zoned, it is estimated the site would generate about 13 trips during the peak hours if
developed at the permitted by-right density of 2.5 units per acre. The proposal shows an approximate decrease of
seven AM peak hour trips and an approximate decrease of two PM peak hour trips. The Sidbury Station traffic impact
analysis (TIA) is the only one within the general vicinity of the site, the details of which are in the staff report in the
agenda packet. Said development has about 290 homes remaining to be built. The proposed project would have no
impact on the school system.
Mr. Vafier provided an overview of the compatibility photos and stated that the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) contains standards for the proposed use governing aesthetics, architectural features, and outdoor
storage. Sidbury Road is identified as a minor collector on the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BOOK 35
REGULAR MEETING, APRIL 4, 2022 PAGE 392
(WMPO) functional classification map and is one of the County’s less densely developed corridors with limited
commercial services to support current and future residents. While the majority of the area was zoned for low
density housing in the early 1970s, the 2016 Comprehensive Land Use Plan (Comprehensive Plan) recommends a
mixture higher density housing and commercial uses along the Sidbury Road corridor. Although the plan provides
general guidance for the encouraged future development pattern, it does not specifically address this type of use,
and there is no small area plan to inform the desired location of neighborhood commercial nodes in this area. Cape
Fear Moving Forward: 2045, the WMPO’s current metropolitan transportation plan, includes a modernization
project to bring Sidbury Road to current design standards. It is programmed to include widening the current travel
lanes to 12-feet with the installation of a 10-foot multi-use path.
The Comprehensive Plan classifies the property within the Community Mixed Use place type, and the intent
is to allow a land use pattern with commercial services and moderate density residential development within this
area of the County, but the plan does not specify the exact location of future commercial nodes in the area. While
the proposed use is not specifically addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, the site’s location adjacent to a large
residential subdivision and in an area of anticipated growth would provide a service to nearby and future residents.
In addition, the proposal could provide a transition to a land use pattern with additional commercial services
available. The proposed CZD B-2 rezoning is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan because it will allow
for an appropriate use in the Community Mixed Use place type and would provide lower-intensity commercial
services in a transitional area. The applicant has proposed the following conditions:
No storage unit entry, other than normal ingress-egress doors to meet life-safety code, will be
permitted along the wall facing Sidbury Road
Architectural features, along with foundation landscaping, will be incorporated along the Sidbury Road
building façade to enhance the aesthetics of the streetscape
The east, west, and south boundaries of the tract will be buffered with an eight-foot-high solid
screening fence, along with required plantings
Hours of operation shall be from 6 AM to 10 PM
There shall be no washing or maintenance of vehicles or boats in the outdoor storage area
The Planning Board considered the request during its March 3, 2022 meeting and recommended approval
(6-0) including the five conditions. Based on the recommended uses for Community Mixed Use places as well as the
context and compatibility with the immediate surrounding area, staff recommends approval of the application.
Mr. Vafier concluded the staff presentation stating that staff received two letters of support from
representatives of recently approved developments in the area and one letter of opposition from a member of the
general public, which are included in the agenda packet. Should the rezoning request be approved, development of
the site will be subject to full technical review to ensure all land use regulations met.
Chair Olson-Boseman thanked Mr. Vafier for the presentation and announced that no one signed up to
speak in favor or opposition to the request and invited the applicant to make their presentation.
Cindee Wolf with Design Solutions, representing the property owners, Atlantic Coast Holdings, LLC, stated
the northern section of the County seems like the middle of nowhere from the early photograph of 2021, but that is
certainly due to change with public utility improvements being provided by the Sidbury Station project. There is also
a 288-unit rental complex at the intersection of Dairy Farm Road which was approved about a year ago. The
designation of the Community Mixed Use place type does promote a variety of uses including commercial services.
The proposed self-storage facility will have climate controlled interior spaces and outdoor storage for RVs and boat
trailers. New home communities now have extensive restrictions for the quality and aesthetics of their
neighborhoods. The prohibition of keeping a boat or RV on the property is a big regulation, and people also have a
lot more stuff these days and need a storage place. The storage industry standards suggest that most people desire
to have their possessions within a three-mile range of their home. As noted in the staff presentation, agenda packet
contains letters of support for the request, including one from D.R. Horton whose Sidbury Station project surrounds
the site on two sides. The company is anxious to market this type of facility to their new homeowners. Ms. Wolf
further stated that she and her client believe the request is consistent and justified, it is an extremely low traffic
generator as far as the future of Sidbury Road, it is sensible development of service where needed, and fosters land
growth and efficiency. The developer accepts the conditions of approval with the knowledge they will not only
protect the surrounding properties but will also enhance the value and aesthetics of the business.
Commissioner Barfield stated that this area of the County is poised to grow. With the efforts being made
to create the nodes and future water and sewer services, he thinks the subject site is the correct location for the
proposed project.
In response to Board questions, Ms. Wolf stated there was no consideration for a second driveway for
circulation as there is full circulation with the current plan. Circulation in this type of facility secured and one way in
and out makes sense. A driveway would be wider than the usual retail or any type of residential development and
there will be a requirement to get a driveway permit from the NCDOT. As stated earlier, the proposed project is a
very low trip generator, as those trips are spread out throughout the day. She does not see issues with trailers or
RVs coming and going on any of the lanes as those are 24-feet wide. The setbacks for the buildings are 25-feet and
there are 20-foot bufferyards even though screening fencing will also be utilized.

REGULAR MEETING, APRIL 4, 2022 PAGE 393
Hearing no further discussion, Chair Olson-Boseman closed the public hearing and asked if based on Board
discussion and items presented during the public hearing, would the applicant like to withdraw or proceed with the
petition and Board vote. Ms. Wolf stated that her client would like to proceed. Chair Olson-Boseman asked for the
Board’s direction on the request.
Motion: Commissioner Barfield MOVED, SECONDED by Chair Olson-Boseman, to approve the proposed rezoning to
a (CZD) B-2 district. The Board finds it to be consistent with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan
because it will allow for an appropriate use in the Community Mixed Use place type. The Board also finds that
approval of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the site is located on a collector
street near an approved subdivision and within a larger area identified for future growth. The following conditions
will apply to the rezoning:
No storage unit entry, other than normal ingress-egress doors to meet life-safety code, will be
permitted along the wall facing Sidbury Road
Architectural features, along with foundation landscaping, will be incorporated along the Sidbury Road
building façade to enhance the aesthetics of the streetscape
The east, west, and south boundaries of the tract will be buffered with an eight-foot-high solid
screening fence, along with required plantings
Hours of operation shall be from 6 AM to 10 PM
There shall be no washing or maintenance of vehicles or boats in the outdoor storage area

Current Planner Zach Dickerson presented the request by Cindee Wolf with Design Solutions, applicant, on
behalf of Wilmington Realtors Foundation, Barry Dean Cribb, and Polly Greene Cribb, property owners, to rezone
approximately 6.13 acres of land located at 6221-6229 Carolina Beach Road from R-15, Residential District, to (CZD)
R-5, Residential District in order to develop 48 single-family townhomes. The site is located on the eastern side of
Carolina Beach Road, south of Monkey Junction. It is across Carolina Beach Road from the Beau Rivage Development.
The surrounding area along Carolina Beach Road is primarily residential, however there is some commercial
development. The site is bounded to the west by Carolina Beach Road and is sparsely developed. The southern and
eastern boundaries of the property are wooded.
Mr. Dickerson reviewed the applicant’s conceptual plan consisting of 48 townhomes with a stormwater
pond in the rear of the development. Access to the property will be restricted to northbound Carolina Beach Road.
NCDOT will require that a right turn lane be installed along northbound Carolina Beach Road. In regard to traffic, the
proposed townhome development would generate approximately 22 AM peak trips and 27 PM peak trips. It would
be an 11 AM and 12 PM peak trip increase from potential R-15 development with the same acreage. There are
several projects in the vicinity with approved TIAs, the details of which can be found in the staff report.
In regard to ongoing development in the area, Mr. Dickerson provided an overview of the nearby area
subdivisions that are currently under development, noting that just over half are built. He also reviewed
developments that are common in the R-15 district for single-family homes and what is likely to be seen in an R-5
district. The area has been zoned R-15 since 1971. Since then, water and sewer have become more available to the
surrounding area. Commercial development and attached units are becoming more common.
The Comprehensive Plan classifies the subject site as Community Mixed Use. The project is generally
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which recommends higher density single family development patterns.
According to the applicant, the project is proposed to meet the price criteria for workforce housing in the 81-120%
area median income (AMI) range as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),
adjusted for household size. Restrictive covenants will be created to assure owner occupancy and restrict investment
or short-term rental, such as Airbnb and VRBO. The restrictive covenants are proposed to mirror those of the Sunset
South development in City of Wilmington, which sunset 15 years after creation and are subject for renewal.
The Planning Board considered the application at its March 3, 2022 meeting and recommended approval
(6-0) finding it to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as well as reasonable and in the public interest with
the following condition:
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BOOK 35
REGULAR MEETING, APRIL 4, 2022 PAGE 394
The project is proposed to meet the price criteria for workforce housing in the 81-120% Area Median
Income (AMI) range as defined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, adjusted
for household size. Restrictive covenants will be created to assure owner occupancy and restrict
investment or short-term rental.
Mr. Dickerson concluded the staff presentation stating that should the rezoning be approved the
development of the site will be subject to full technical review to ensure all land use regulations are met.
In response to Board questions, Mr. Dickerson stated that the condition of the project is that it is proposed
to meet the price criteria for workforce housing in the 81 to 120% AMI and it applies to all of the units.
Chair Olson-Boseman thanked Mr. Dickerson for the presentation and announced that no one signed up to
speak in favor or opposition to the request and invited the applicant to make their presentation.
Cindee Wolf with Design Solutions, representing Wilmington Realtors Foundation, Barry Dean Cribb, and
Polly Greene Cribb, property owners, stated the western boundary of Carolina Beach Road has been slower to
develop to the western frontage. She thinks that is primarily due to the lack of public utilities. The upside of that is
the land value is more affordable to offset the cost the developer will have to spend to provide service. Those are
some of the factors that contribute to home affordability. The Comprehensive Plan acknowledges the full depth of
the underutilized tracts with the designation of the area as Community Mixed Use. Based on the direct access to a
major arterial road, Carolina Beach Road, as well as proximity to the wealth of shopping and other commercial
services and recreational opportunities, it is believed that a moderate density home development is the most logical
transition for the subject properties.
Ms. Wolf provided an overview of an excerpt from the recent housing needs assessment for New Hanover
County that shows the projected gap for a full range of home prices and associated income levels of owner
affordability. The project proposes that 100% of the units meet what has been determined as the second highest
need (the 81-120% AMI) for both the City and the County. The County's policy for growth encourages safe and
affordable housing to be available to every citizen. Townhome communities such as the proposed project are in
demand with lifestyle preferences, affordability factors, and proximity to services. The proposed project is 48
attached single-family homes. This is an R-5 zoning district request at eight units per acre which is a modest density
for the location and along the busy corridors. While the site is a quite narrow tract to work with, the structures are
mixed between clusters of two and four units per building for a more interesting streetscape. The duplexes are
designed to have a master bedroom downstairs, which is an attractive feature for the age demographic. All of the
homes are two story with a one-car garage that allows each home to have parking available for three vehicles and
there are some extra spaces provided for guests. There will be six-foot high solid wood fencing to screen and buffer
the community to the adjacent properties which are considered single family. Landscaping will include vegetation,
nicely planted foundations around the units, and street trees along the access drive. Maintenance will be the
responsibility of the homeowner's association which guarantees upkeep and sustainability of the common areas.
Ms. Wolf provided an overview of the general architectural style and mixing of alternative roof types and
color schemes to add interest to the overall aesthetics of the community. The project is being spearheaded by the
Wilmington Realtors Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization committed to addressing the need for affordable
housing in this community. She then asked Jody Wainio, President of the Wilmington Realtors Foundation, to provide
a summary of the goals for the venture and what will be done to achieve the goals.
Ms. Wainio stated the Wilmington Realtors Foundation has committed to conditional approval including
that the sale of the units within the project would meet the 81-120% AMI. The target price is $250,000. The
restrictive covenants will also ensure that owner occupancy is a requirement, and no investor-owned properties are
allowed for a minimum of 15 years. She stated that she could not provide information about the number of
properties available in the price range as there are none to talk about at this time.
Commissioner Zapple expressed appreciation for the project being brought forward.
In response to Board questions, Ms. Wolf stated that water service is available and will be extended to this
project. It would be an agreement situation with Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) because it has been
preliminarily asked that the line be upsized and for CFPUA to pay the difference in that when it occurs. As far as
sewer service, which is a necessity, different options were considered but at this point the proposal would be for a
pump station that would take a force main down Carolina Beach Road, which is not unusual. It is an encroachment
with NCDOT but is part of the driveway and encroachment process. The closest sewer manhole is in Winds Ridge,
which is some distance from the site. Again, all the options have been looked at and it is believed there are solutions.
Ms. Wainio stated that the developer, Steve Shuttleworth, has been in continual contact with CFPUA to produce the
most affordable solution. The Wilmington Realtors Foundation’s goal is to raise enough money to cover the costs to
be able to provide housing for the stated cost and price.
In response to Board questions, Ms. Wolf stated that the stormwater pond will be designed to the 25-year
requirement unless there is no discernible outlet. If that is the case, it will need to be overdesigned. The soil in the
area is extremely sandy and there is an impediment of a low spot, which the engineer should be able to solve. There
also is not a well-defined outlet for the pond, but again, a good engineering solution has to do with the soil quality
and its infiltration ability. It can be oversized such that as an infiltration facility, it can handle a 100-year storm. It is
another hurdle they will be going through, but the work has been done and everyone involved feels it is doable.

REGULAR MEETING, APRIL 4, 2022 PAGE 395
In response to Board questions, Ms. Wainio stated that as of February 2022 there were only 48 houses in
the entirety of the County, unincorporated and incorporated, that were under $300,000 and that included
manufactured homes.
Hearing no further discussion, Chair Olson-Boseman closed the public hearing and asked if based on Board
discussion and items presented during the public hearing, would the applicant like to withdraw or proceed with the
petition and Board vote. Ms. Wainio stated that she would like to proceed. Chair Olson-Boseman asked for the
Board’s direction on the request.
Motion: Commissioner Zapple MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Barfield, to approve the proposed rezoning to
a Conditional R-5 district. The Board finds it to be consistent with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive
Plan because the project provides for the types and mixture of uses recommended in the Community Mixed Use
place type and the residential densities are in-line with those recommended for the property. The Board also finds
approval of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal would benefit the
community by providing a range of housing types and opportunities for households of different sizes and income
levels. The following condition will apply to the rezoning: the project is proposed to meet the price criteria for
workforce housing in the 81-120% area median income (AMI) range as defined by the US Department of Housing
and Urban Development, adjusted for household size. Restrictive covenants will be created to assure owner
occupancy and restrict investment or short-term rental. Upon vote, the MOTION PASSED 4 TO 0.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, ADOPTED APRIL 7, 1971 is hereby incorporated as part of the minutes

PUBLIC HEARING AND APPROVAL OF A REQUEST BY ANDY ETTERS, APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER, TO
REZONE APPROXIMATELY 29.39 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 312 HERMITAGE ROAD FROM R-20, RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICT, TO (CZD) CS, COMMERCIAL SERVICES DISTRICT FOR WAREHOUSING AND OFFICE FLEX SPACE AND A
NURSERY (Z22-06)
Current Planner Ron Meredith presented the request by Andy Etters, applicant and property owner, to
rezone approximately 29.39 acres of land located at 312 Hermitage Road from R-20, Residential District, to (CZD) CS,
Commercial Services District for a business park and the preservation of an existing nursery. When the R-20 district
was first applied in the area, public utilities were limited and many homes in the unincorporated areas of the County
utilized private well water and septic. Water is now available in the area and the applicant is proposing connections
to the CFPUA water system and to utilize private septic systems. The site is undeveloped and is located to the east
side of Castle Hayne Road, to the north side of I-140, and to the west side of Blue Clay Road.
Mr. Meredith then provided an overview of R-20 developments in the area. The (CZD) CS district is intended
to provide a clear place for necessary businesses that are not optimally located near residential neighborhoods and
are sometimes referred to as heavy commercial. The applicant is proposing to construct a 130,000 square foot
business park and to preserve the existing nursery on site located to the south side of the parcel. The units are
anticipated to be located within 11 buildings with a maximum height of around 40-feet and each building would
contain about three to four units. Also, each building would range in size from 9,000 square feet to 12,000 square
feet but some changes are possible in configuration. Outside storage areas are possible and they will be located
outside the required parking areas. The applicant is prepared to provide information about the proposed stormwater
system. The site plan incorporates areas for required landscaping and transitional buffers and the development
would have no impact on the schools as well.
Access to the site is via Hermitage Road, which is a stated maintained road. A TIA conducted for the project
has been approved by NCDOT and the WMPO and the specific improvements are listed within the report that is
included in the agenda packet. The proposed project will generate approximately 185 peak hour trips. There is one
active subdivision in the area with 195 lots left to be recorded.
As for compatibility, properties east of the subject site have developed a variety of light industrial uses due
to the proximity of the I-140 and railroad access. The Comprehensive Plan classifies the subject parcel as
Employment Center. Employment Center place types are generally applied in areas like this that are intended to
serve as employment and production hubs where office and light industrial uses are easily available. The proposed
rezoning from R-20 to (CZD) CS is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan because it will allow for the
types of commercial uses encouraged in the Employment Center Use place type and the district is located within a
transitional area and will provide a transition between light industrial uses to the east and current lower intensity
development that may transition in the future.
The Planning Board considered the application at the March 3, 2022 meeting and recommended approval
(6-0), as it found the request to be consistent with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it
will allow for the types of commercial uses encouraged in the Employment Center place type with the following
condition:
The total square footage of business park flex space shall be limited to a maximum 130,000 square
feet.
NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BOOK 35
REGULAR MEETING, APRIL 4, 2022 PAGE 396
Mr. Meredith concluded the staff presentation stating the applicant agreed to the condition and should the
rezoning be approved the development of the site will be subject to full technical review to ensure all land use
regulations met.
Chair Olson-Boseman thanked Mr. Meredith for the presentation and announced that no one signed up to
speak in favor or opposition to the request and invited the applicant to make their presentation.
Allison Engebretson, with Paramounte Engineering, representing Andy Etters, applicant and property
owner, stated the subject site is located on Hermitage Road close to I-140 and General Electric and is about five
miles from the airport. The location of the subject site is the reason for the rezoning request as the area has a lot of
industrial in the Blue Cove Industrial Park. If approved, this will be the first site to be rezoned to a (CZD) CS district
in the County and is a zoning district that captures a missing gap. It aligns with B-2 and also with lesser portions of
the I-1 district, both of which are adjacent to the subject site as well as the Urban Mixed-Use area. The surrounding
area is very much farmland and has been farmed for a number of years. However, it can be seen in the County's
future land use plan that it has been targeted as an Employment Center place type. In the future land use plan under
the employment center section, the subject site along Hermitage Road is specifically referred to as an ideal place for
something that could offer goods and services outside of residential areas and something that could provide jobs
and new opportunities in the community.
The applicant purchased the site approximately four years ago and has been building up a nursery operation
at the rear of the site. The intention is to continue the nursery operation, which requires about 8 ½ acres. Ms.
Engebretson provided an overview of the proposed plan for the front portion of the site noting the maximum
buildout would be about 130,000 square feet of industrial flex space. It will be targeted to things like contractors
and the types of businesses that supply contractors. The buildings are 12,000 square foot spaces that can easily be
divided up into about anything they need to be. There is a large stormwater pond on the left-hand side of the site.
The purpose for the location is not only is it close to the outfall but it is closest to the residential homes that are
about 300 to 500 feet away from the area. Construction will be done in phases and when fully built, the buildings
will be about 14% of the site. The project’s TIA has been approved by NCDOT and WMPO with required roadway
improvements to install a right-turn lane on Hermitage Road at Castle Hayne Road and a left-turn lane on Castle
Hayne Road at Crowatan Road. Castle Hayne and Hermitage Roads are the main access roads to area businesses.
In response to Board questions, Ms. Engebretson stated that water service is in front of the site and the
connection will be made to CFPUA for service. When CFPUA was contacted about sewer service, it was learned that
the closest available sewer is about 1.2 miles away at the intersection of Chair and Castle Hayne Roads. It is not
feasible to bring it to the site, so septic has been explored and work is being done with a septic consultant who has
done soil testing of the site and reported that things look very favorable. The septic areas shown on the site plan are
very specifically placed in accordance with the consultant’s findings. The linear footage from the septic wells to the
site’s neighbors have been taken into consideration. The closest neighbor is on the lefthand side of the site, the NC
State University horticultural research farm, and the applicant’s septic wells are far away from the ones on that
neighbor’s site. Any wells that are known are across the street, across Hermitage and on the farms across the road,
so far away from the site’s required separation. The Blue Cove Industrial Complex is not along the lines of what is
being requested in terms of structures, but the North Kerr Industrial Complex is much more in line with what is being
proposed with shorter and smaller scale buildings. She does not know if Blue Cove gets water from wells. Residential
is not allowed in the I-1 zoning district.
In response to Board questions, Ms. Engebretson confirmed that there is not a traffic signal at Hermitage
and Castle Hayne Roads. In broad terms, the applicant is looking at about a ten-year buildout so not all of the
estimated 2,000 trips will happen at one time. She does not know of any NCDOT plans to do anything right on Castle
Hayne Road in that location. The team did look at an improvement that is scheduled for 2029 to come up to the I-
140 area, but it does not make the next leap to the area of the subject site. Rynal Stephenson, Traffic Engineer with
Ramey Kemp Associates, stated that he does think the vast majority of traffic is going to the intersection of
Hermitage and Castle Hayne Roads. The traffic is currently low, and the proposed project will add traffic of about
two cars per minute. The addition of the required turn lane will help separate the traffic out and minimize the delay
time. However, the intersection is not identified as needing a traffic signal at this point and is not part of the buildout
timeframe of the proposed project. As to potential backups on Hermitage Road, the wait times and stacking/queuing
were looked at for that area. The highest amount of stacking is about six to seven cars at the heaviest times and the
delay time is 27 seconds, which is not a failing level of service. There currently is not a lot of traffic at site and
whatever traffic is being added by the proposed project is easily accommodated at the intersection, particularly with
the required improvements.
In response to Board questions, Mr. Stephenson stated that the 27-second delay is with the project fully
built out. Again, NCDOT is not in favor of putting in a traffic signal until absolutely warranted or necessary.
Hearing no further discussion, Chair Olson-Boseman closed the public hearing and asked if based on Board
discussion and items presented during the public hearing, would the applicant like to withdraw or proceed with the
petition and Board vote. Ms. Engebretson stated that her client would like to proceed. Chair Olson-Boseman asked
for the Board’s direction on the request.
Motion: Chair Olson-Boseman MOVED, SECONDED by Vice-Chair Hays, to recommend approval of the proposed
rezoning. The Board finds it to be consistent with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because it will
allow for the types of commercial uses encouraged in the Employment Center place type. The Board also finds

approval of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed district will provide
a transition between light industrial uses to the east and current lower intensity development that may transition in
the future. The following condition will apply to the rezoning: the total square footage of business park flex space
shall be limited to a maximum 130,000 square feet. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
