Home My WebLink AboutCommunity MeetingCOMMUNITY MEETING REPORT The Woods at Masonboro Graycliff Capital Affordable Housing A community meeting was not required for this Special Use Permit, but the development team felt that it would be in the interest of being a good neighbor to introduce the proposed development to the community to gather their concerns and reactions. PERSONS AND ORGANIZATIONS CONTACTED WITH DATE AND EXPLANATION OF HOW CONTACTED: A representative of Graycliff Capital Affordable Housing mailed a written notice of the date, time, and location of the Community Meeting to the individuals and organizations on list provided by NHC staff by depositing such notice in the U.S. mail on February 2nd, 2023. A copy of the written notice that was mailed is attached as well. DATE, TIME AND LOCATION OF MEETING : The Community Meeting was held on Tuesday, February 21st at 6:30pm in the conference room at the Best Western Hotel, located at 5600 Carolina Beach Rd, Wilmington NC 28412, which is approximately 3/4 of a mile from the proposed development site. PERSONS IN ATTENDANCE AT MEETING (see attached copy of sign-in sheet): The Community Meeting was attended by those individuals identified on the sign-in sheet attached. There were approximately 20-25 people in attendance, some did not sign in or had a family member sign in on behalf of multiple attendees. SUMMARY OF PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION: The representative of Graycliff Capital Affordable Housing, Mr. Kass, had a slide show prepared, (attached for reference). The presentation and Q&A lasted from 6:30pm to 7:15pm. The main concern from the community was the impact to traffic. Several area residents noted that the two existing schools create additional traffic on Piner Rd beyond the residents that live there. It was also pointed out that many drivers entering and leaving the Home Depot parking lot add a lot of traffic to Piner Rd. Area residents were concerned with the vehicular interaction between Home Depot traffic and the future residents of the proposed apartment community. The development representative, Mr. Kass, informed the attendees that the development team commissioned a traffic study which projected low trip generation from the proposed apartments and little impact to existing traffic patterns. Other discussion topics and concerns related to the amount of proposed tree save and buffers. Neighbors generally reacted well to the amount of tree save proposed on the site plan and the amount of screening it would provide. Area residents voiced their concern that the previous apartment development next door did not respect the 50 buffer. Neighbors feel strongly that they would like as much undisturbed tree save buffer as possible, especially near the single family homes to the north of the proposed site. There were short discussions of stormwater and sanitary sewer connections, with no further questions. Mr. Kass stayed to speak with several neighbors and further discuss their concerns. The last attendees generally left around 7:45pm.
