BOC Meeting - Z23-18 - Moving Truck Rentals - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment Dear NHC Planning Board, Please vote NO to the rezoning request Z23-18. I am a resident of 645 Condo a club Drive in Sellars Cove, the condo community situated directly behind the proposed rezoning property. This property should be kept residential zoning based upon the following concerns: 1. Proximity to our residential homes. This property will be only 2 100ft from our 645 condo building and the proposed storage container building they want onsite would be 2 stories and inhibit any privacy we have. Their proposed buffer is not enough to make it where it’s not encroaching. Lighting and noise pollution are also factors to consider and will be unavoidable. 2. Our private driveway sits right after the entrance to this proposed property/project and that proximity will increase the visibility problems already there as it’s difficult to get out onto 421 already. Put large rental trucks or CDL trucks with storage containers and you have an even bigger visibility problem. Both for residents of sellers cove, beau rivage and patrons of the speedway gas station trying to enter into traffic. Our driveway is private and there is a concern about the rental trucks missing their entrance and coming into our parking lots creating a disruption or possible accident while maneuvering through our lot. 3. This is not responsible development. There are better suited commercial properties available for sale that would better accommodate a facility like this where they are not encroaching on residential communities and Increasing traffic congestion and the risk for traffic accidents. 4. There are nearby rental truck and storage facilities nearby within 3 miles north and south of 421 that provide adequately for the surrounding community. This proposed project is redundant and not needed. I strongly oppose this project and rezoning to commercial as it is not responsible development and does not fit into the mixed use area plan as it’s too close to a residential community.

Attachments:Licensing board minutes.pdf; court minutes.pdf; Rezone PDF .pdf; Google Larry Dendy .pdf Follow Up Flag:Follow up Flag Status:Completed ** External Email: Do not click links, open attachments, or reply until you know it is safe ** (PLEASE REFERENCE REZONE PDF ATTACHMENT FOR BELOW INFORMATION) Thank you in advance for considering the following perspective on my OPPOSITION to this project. Attached you will find a 7 page PDF that references images I will be discussing throughout my OPPOSING this project. (See page 1 images) I would like to begin with expressing my concern for the misinformation/confusing information provided to us at the initial meeting. The address Ms. Cindee provided did not lead us to where the meeting was. (See page 3 images) At the preliminary meeting, Larry Dendy was presented as the developer and he mentioned he would be working with several other investors located in Texas and California (I believe?). I urge the council to perform research on Mr. Dendy's history. A simple google search speaks for itself. At our meeting, he stated he has never worked on a project of this nature. (See page 2 images) The drawing Cindee initially presented to us was NOT drawn to scale and it took some time for Cindee to admit to that at the meeting and stated she would provide us with a scale drawing at a later date. Ms. Wolf also failed to mention to us that the "information sheet" we signed would actually be part of her proposal submission to the county. While this may be normal practice, it came across as very deceitful. (See page 4 images) The new to scale drawing is quite different than the initial we received. I would also like to note that Ms. Wolf failed to send this information the means she said she would and it was sent to us AFTER it was submitted to the county. I believe the only reason the information was sent, was due to a member of our community reaching out to find out the status of the rezone submission and if it happened. Some additional information I would like to draw your attention to concerning the updated new drawing: the number of spaces compared to the first document. At the meeting, the developer stated there would be anywhere from 17-35 Uhaul trucks. New drawing has 33 spaces whereas the first has 28. The new drawing listed a different name as the developer. Further clarification was provided in an email as to Mr. Dendy's affiliation to the project. I have also included an image from building 645 for your reference as well. I would encourage the council to consider other projects Ms. Wolf has worked on throughout the city of Wilmington where she stated noise and light pollution would not be an issue and she was incorrect. I believe Sea Gate Bottle shop and Wendy's house are a good place to begin this consideration as again, a google search provides news reports of residents behind the establishments experiencing disturbances despite Cindee's assurance there would be none. Page 6 of my document provides images of a Uhaul facility located on Oleander, another very congested area of town. Thankfully people aren't driving 55+ mph in this area due to the lights, so it is maybe not as dangerous but an absolute eye sore given the nearby homes and beautiful park located next door. Page 7 allows for you to see what we see when exiting our property. I'd like you to note this and the location of Ms. Wolf's design of spaces out front on her new plan. Considering the size of a Uhaul truck and or trailer, it will be a potentially deadly exit for us to leave our property. As you can see from the image of the garbage truck in the turn lane (top of page 7), visibility is limited. I can't imagine the thought of large Uhaul trucks completely obstructing our exit view. I would also like to make the committee aware that our corner is a bus stop for children of all ages. Additionally, I'd like to add that the general public typically has no prior experience to driving vehicles of such large nature. I can't begin to imagine the dangers this presents with someone pulling out and darting across 3 lanes of traffic to attempt a U turn at a light that I don't believe is conducive to a Uhaul truck making a U turn. I urge the council to also consider the number of accidents that have occurred at the intersection of Carolina Beach Road and Cathay Road. One happened just recently (October 3rd) and a car ended up on it's side. A pregnant member of our community was involved in a hit and run at the U turn light. While I realize we aren't planning for people to miss the turn 8 to the Uhaul business, it will happen. People turn in here all the time to turn around because of missed turns. Our driveway is not made for vehicles of this nature to enter and attempt a U-turn. I'd like to know what the planners have in mind as far as preventing the added traffic entering our property. To conclude, Allowing a Uhaul center/ pod storage facility to be placed in an already overly congested, fast, highly traveled, and dangerous intersection would be extremely reckless and put many in our community in danger each time we attempt to leave our home as well as other surrounding areas of this area of Wilmington. I urge you to seriously consider DENYING this project. Thank you for taking time to consider my information. PLEASE REFER TO THE FOLLOWING ATTACHMENTS: Google Larry Dendy PDF, Licensing Board Minutes, Court Minutes FOR BELOW INFORMATION This is additional information from my previous comment/further research concerning Mr. Dendy's background. The purpose in sharing this information is not intended to be slanderous, it is intended to be informational concerning this developer's record which I find to be relevant to this re-zone project given the nature of this current project is also construction and development of property. I am only encouraging the city to consider the information I have included.

BOC Meeting - Z23-18 - Moving Truck Rentals - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I oppose the rezoning of 6218 Carolina Beach Road to B-2. As a co-owner of a condo with my daughter, I was saddened to hear of the possibility of this rezoning. I have spent the better part of 30 years in the Wilmington area and have seen the rapid growth and the decimation of the trees and green spaces. The area proposed for rezoning is already a residential area and I think it should stay the same. There is no reason to rip out more trees and add more hard surface to an area already too far gone with hard surfaces. 10 I tend to avoid the area on Carolina Beach Road up near Shipyard Blvd. Why? Because it is an eyesore. Building after rundown building. All concrete and black top. I can remember when it was field after field. Have you thought about the tourists and the visitors to our area. The reason my husband and I decided to move here was because we came on vacation and loved it. We came to the Monkey Junction area 8 years ago because the Ogden area and Market St. was being over developed. Now we are in the boat again. Do not force people to leave. Keep the community beautiful and tranquil and green. We have always taught our children to respect the land, to take care of it. I would hope you would do the same.

BOC Meeting - SN23-01 - Plantation Drive Street Renaming What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I oppose the rezoning of 6218 Carolina Beach Road to B-2. When I moved here after being widowed at 52 and left with very little due to the hospital bills, I thought that I had found the goose that laid the golden egg, when I discovered this condo. Close to work and my elderly parents’ home, with trees and greenery, you would never have known that it was just off a major road. I could sit on the balcony and have coffee and my small dog loves to see the birds and butterflies go past. With this new rezoning I will lose all of that. I will lose the quiet, the 12 green and the tranquility. This property, due to the very nature of its hiddenness from the road is what drew me to it. I also felt that it afforded me safety and security as I was not exposed to the main road. I will also lose the value of my home; it will be an eyesore. Please look at the photos I have attached, my home now and most likely what it will look like if you allow this rezoning to go through. Even more than my personal comfort, I feel that with this potential change and many others that seem to be in the works will destroy this area. A lot of what people come for in this area will be destroyed by the greed of men. I have seen firsthand what a town looks like when every piece of land is overdeveloped. I have also seen the mass exodus of the very people you want here, move on to a place where they can breathe. It is the very reason I moved here. Over developing (I have done the research) can backfire on the men who think they know best. Overcrowding and traffic for days will deter the visitors that many of the businesses rely on. When the tourists leave, and the buildings are empty then what? Why change the zoning? So that another U-Haul can come in? When the area is over saturated, and the homes sit empty, who will need the U- Haul’s? I hope that you think long and hard about how you would feel if this was your home. What would you want for your grandchildren or theirs? What do you think will be the benefit to the area that would negate the lives of over 200 people who live here already? Instead of ripping down why not think about what you could do to build up and beautify our town. I honestly invite you to come to our community and see what it would be like for us. I’ll be happy to offer you a seat on my balcony and a cup of coffee so you can see why I chose this home. While I believe this will fall on deaf ears, it has been therapeutic for me to write it. I saw when I went to the last meeting how disassociated the men were to our pleas. Reason and logic cannot seem to sway the minds that have already decided on this issue, but perhaps emotion may soften a hardened heart. So please, please think before you vote on this issue. This is our home. Don’t destroy it. Upload supporting files If you need to support your comment with documentation, upload the files here. No more than 20MB in size total for all files.

BOC Meeting - Z23-18 - Moving Truck Rentals - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment Attached are the slides and notes from out presentation to the Planning Board which covers many of our community concerns and notes. Be aware that while the developer describes it as a "Truck Rental". But do not be fooled, it is *ALSO* going to include 15 warehousing for POD (or equivalent) portable storage/cargo containers. These "PODS" require large, CDL licensed, diesel commercial vehicles (Including 18 wheelers) to transport and noisy forklifts to maneuver. I believe the warehouse portion, in particular to be problematic and will present a large nuisance to the 100+ residents of Sellars Cove. The traffic of these large diesel commercial vehicles (delivering the PODS) will create access problems as the driveway will be positioned at the entrance of a turning lane which will not offer enough room for the oversized vehicles. This will obstruct traffic on Carolina Beach road as the 18-wheelers or large flat bad trucks slow down and make a large swing to get in and out of the facility while delivering/retrieving these PODs. The only other POD (or equivalent) storage facilities LIKE the one proposed are located in locales annotated with "Employment Center" place type designation in the counties comprehensive plan; NOT "Community Mixed Use" (under which 6218 Carolina Beach Road is classified). Specific examples have been provided in the attached PDF. Lastly as of the Planning Board meeting the developer had *NOT* yet spoken with any of the POD (or equivalent) franchises. These franchises will have their own restrictions/requirements on the warehouse that likely have not yet been addressed. These added requirements may render the current warehouse proposal invalid and may need to be revisited in the near future with FURTHER conditional zoning requests not yet addressed. In short, the metaphorical cart is being put ahead of the horse. Upload supporting files If you need to support your comment with documentation, upload the files here.

I personally saw a truck hit a women and turn her around, few seconds earlier it would of been broadside. Item 5 said..no PODS...so they should be gone along with the dumpster for 4 employees. No rental truck secured at the planning meeting and no UHAUL.

BOC Meeting - Z23-18 - Moving Truck Rentals - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I am the owner of a condo at Sellars Cove which is the property located directly next to the proposed rezoning. This project will have a huge impact on the quality of our lives by imposing us noise, nuisance, coming and going of trucks to move the pods that will be stored in a building that will be immediately adjacent to our pool and building 645. Our residents will have the view and noise coming from that business from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm (hours of operation) on a daily basis at 100 feet from their windows and balconies. Needless to say that their daily lives 21 will be impacted by it. All our residents will be affected and the usage of our pool will not be anymore a relaxing experience at the end of the day. The added traffic will also be a nuisance when using our only point of entry and exit on Carolina Beach Road, which is already difficult enough as it is. I would like to ask our elected commissioner to think about how he would like that to happen next to his house. Being our voice to oppose the rezoning would be greatly appreciated by all of us at Sellars Cove. We hope that our concerns will be taken in consideration when making the final decision.

BOC Meeting - Z23-18 - Moving Truck Rentals - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment Planning Board was so rude to Sellars Cove, yelling at us. So wrong. In there motion they said NO PODS, so that would mean no warehouse. It was item 5. At that time they had not secured UHAUL. I am speaking with a representative who said its not a UHAUL project yet our paperwork had their logo. A truck can't do 55 mph when they try to merge. So if an accident. The planning board and commissioners will be notified. . And hopefully no one dies. The designer said she did Sellars Cove but failed to say how the Builder stapled the 23 TyVex and now water is pouring into windows and units . So far we have paid $50,000 to fix with 6 more units for $72,000. We don't trust the DESIGNER at ALL. Keep it residential...no need for a business. You can make this Right.

PB Meeting - Z23-18 - Office & Warehousing - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I am the co-owner of a condo located adjacent to the property at 6218 CB Rd. I oppose this project for several reasons. This project would greatly reduce our noise barrier, reduce our quality of living, would in fact contribute to noise & fume pollution, would contribute to the reduction of our property values, would increase the danger of accidents and there is no need for yet another U-Haul type facility so close to at least 3 others in a 5-mile radius. This section of CB rd, although 55- mph, is already difficult to enter from our complex as traffic 31 generally moves between 60-65 and we have to cross all lanes to be able to get to the light to turn back toward town. We have children who wait for the bus at the end of our complex. Having inexperienced U-Haul drivers trying to come in and out would absolutely be a safety hazard. We are also concerned that the U-Haul entrance will be missed and those trucks will pull into our complex to turn around. The infrastructure is just not a good situation, other industrial locations would be better suited. Please do not let this pass.

Attached you will find a 7 page PDF that references images I will be discussing throughout my OPPOSING this project. (See page 1 images) I would like to begin with expressing my concern for the misinformation/confusing information provided to us at the initial meeting. The address Ms. Cindee provided did not lead us to where the meeting was. (See page 3 images) At the preliminary meeting, Larry Dendy was presented as the developer and he mentioned he would be working with several other investors located in Texas and California (I believe?). I urge the council to perform research on Mr. Dendy's history. A simple google search speaks for itself. At our meeting, he stated he has never worked on a project of this nature. (See page 2 images) The drawing Cindee initially presented to us was NOT drawn to scale and it took some time for Cindee to admit to that at the meeting and stated she would provide us with a scale drawing at a later date. Ms. Wolf also failed to mention to us that the "information sheet" we signed would actually be part of her proposal submission to the county. While this may be normal practice, it came across as very deceitful. (See page 4 images) The new to scale drawing is quite different than the initial we received. I would also like to note that Ms. Wolf failed to send this information the means she said she would and it was sent to us AFTER it was submitted to the county. I believe the only reason the information was sent, was due to a member of our community reaching out to find out the status of the rezone submission and if it happened. Some additional information I would like to draw your attention to concerning the updated new drawing: the number of spaces compared to the first document. At the meeting, the developer stated there would be anywhere from 17-35 Uhaul trucks. New drawing has 33 spaces whereas the first has 28. The new drawing listed a different name as the developer. Further clarification was provided in an email as to Mr. Dendy's affiliation to the project. I have also included an image from building 645 for your reference as well. I would encourage the council to consider other projects Ms. Wolf has worked on throughout the city of Wilmington where she stated noise and light pollution would not be an issue and she was incorrect. I believe Sea Gate Bottle shop and Wendy's house are a good place to begin this consideration as again, a google search provides news reports of residents behind the establishments experiencing disturbances despite Cindee's assurance there would be none. Page 6 of my document provides images of a Uhaul facility located on Oleander, another very congested area of town. Thankfully people aren't driving 55+ mph in this area due to the lights, so it is maybe not as dangerous but an absolute eye sore given the nearby homes and beautiful park located next door. Page 7 allows for you to see what we see when exiting our property. I'd like you to note this and the location of Ms. Wolf's design of spaces out front on her new plan. Considering the size of a Uhaul truck and or trailer, it will be a potentially deadly exit for us to leave our property. As you can see from the image of the garbage truck in the turn lane (top of page 7), visibility is limited. I can't imagine the thought of large Uhaul trucks completely obstructing our exit view. I would also like to make the committee aware that our corner is a bus stop for children of all ages. Additionally, I'd like to add that the general public typically has no prior experience to driving vehicles of such large nature. I can't begin to imagine the dangers this presents with someone pulling out and darting across 3 lanes of traffic to attempt a U turn at a light that I don't believe is conducive to a Uhaul truck making a U turn. I urge the council to also consider the number of accidents that have occurred at the intersection of Carolina Beach Road and Cathay Road. One happened just recently (October 3rd) and a car ended up on it's side. A pregnant member of our community was involved in a hit and run at the U turn light. While I realize we aren't planning for people to miss the turn to the Uhaul business, it will happen. People turn in here all the time to turn around because of missed turns. Our driveway is not made for vehicles of this nature to enter and attempt a U-turn. I'd like to know what the planners have in mind as far as preventing the added traffic entering our property. To conclude, Allowing a Uhaul center/ pod storage facility to be placed in an already overly congested, fast, highly traveled, and dangerous intersection would be extremely 37 reckless and put many in our community in danger each time we attempt to leave our home as well as other surrounding areas of this area of Wilmington. I urge you to seriously consider DENYING this project. Thank you for taking time to consider my information.

PB Meeting - Z23-18 - Office & Warehousing - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment As a resident of Sellars Cove I am opposed to the rezoning application submitted for 6218 Carolina Beach Rd. I reside in the unit owned by Paul Harris. Rezoning this property will greatly affect the residents of our community. The large trucks will add more issues to an extremely busy road. Trying to enter Carolina Beach Rd and crossing the first two lanes to make it to the U turn lane is already difficult. Adding UHaul trucks and trucks delivering 42 Pods storage units will aggravate an already bad situation. Along with the traffic issues, there will be an increase in noise as the natural barrier that exists now will be gone. Residents will be subjected to noise from trucks, equipment used to load and unload the Pods and increased traffic in and out of an entrance right beside the entrance to our community. Some units will have their view changed to look onto a 30 ft high steel building while the pool area will be subjected to the noise and an altered view. Residents chose Sellars Cove because it was set back from the highway providing privacy and protection from highway noise. While a large majority of the residents are seniors, there are children who reside in Sellars Cove also and catch the school bus each morning at the entrance. This entrance will now be directly next to the one for the new facility, if approved. There will be UHaul trucks entering and exiting while children are getting on and off the school bus. This will create a safety issue for the children. Please consider the impact this will have on the residents of Sellars Cove, their quality of life, the effect on safety and traffic issues and deny the rezoning application.

I ask that you Please leave these beautiful trees in thier rightful places. To put a u-haul there would just be More Pollution from all of the Trucks coming and going.We also have a detention pond there 44 that should not be messed with in case we ever need it to catch the flood water!

PB Meeting - Z23-18 - Office & Warehousing - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I am the owner of a condo located in Sellars Cove which is adjacent to the property situate at 6218 Carolina Beach road. I am opposed to the rezoning of that property from a residential to a commercial/industrial site. The project suggested for that property as described to us would be a U-Haul rental and Pods storage area. We were advised by Cindee Wolf that would entail a 30 foot high metal building, approximately 30-40 U-Haul trucks and approximately 46 20-30 Pods storage. The construction of that facility would bring with it an increase in traffic on what is already a highly traveled road leading to the beach. During tourist season an already busy road becomes almost impossible to enter from our access as it is. Adding large trucks to this traffic will undoubtedly cause issues not only for the residents of Sellars Cove but all who travel this road on a daily basis. Additionally there would be trucks coming and going at all hours of the day and night and loading and unloading pods by forklifts which beep constantly when in reverse. This will occur in the area directly behind one of the residential buildings and our pool area. The view for the owners will be altered to a view of a steel building and U-haul trucks. The relaxing pool area will be subjected to the loud noise of trucks and machinery all day. I am not opposed to all businesses that may come into the area but this business will directly affect the quality of life of the residents of Sellars Cove, who are primarily seniors. Please do not allow this rezoning application to pass. Thank you. Upload supporting files If you need to support your comment with documentation, upload the files here.

See below, thank you. Best regards, Sara Gross Dear Case Planner and NHC Planning Board, Please find this letter as a thoughtful request for your vote against the rezoning request (Z23-18) of 6218 Carolina Beach Rd from an R-15 residential lot to commercial CZD-B2 in order for a U-Haul/ PODS storage facility to be built. I am a current homeowner of the Sellars Cove Condominiums located directly behind the proposed lot. We have a beautiful 3 building community at Sellars Cove that sits somewhat back off the road in a "cove". The way our condo community was developed has created this unique cove of protection, privacy and quieter atmosphere even though we sit along a very busy road. It's an attractive feature that played a part in convincing me to rent here 8 years ago. I have loved it ever since and I am now a new homeowner here. I and We (my Sellars Cove community) would like to present for your consideration many issues/concerns regarding the impacts the rezoning will have: 1. The proposed plan will mean that the facility sits at the entrance of a turning lane that goes to our private road "driveway" at Sellars Cove, Beau Rivage, Speedway Gas Station and Cathay Rd. Large U-Haul trucks and a commercial CDL POD truck would be frequenting the facility and there is a grave concern about the ability of these vehicles to enter/exit this area safely when it's already being used by multiple communities. 2. Traffic congestion going down South 421 on Carolina Beach Rd. is bad at all times. We already have a difficult time pulling out onto Carolina Beach Rd and it's even more difficult if people are pulling out and needing to get into the far-left lane to make a U-turn to head North. We have multiple school buses that travel up and down South 421 and we have a bus stop at the end of the Sellars Cove Driveway. This endangers our children and makes for an unsafe situation if we throw U-Haul and large CDL trucks into the mix of entering/exiting the same area. 3. Many renters of U-Haul trucks are not always experienced in driving this type of vehicle and will face the same challenges of entering/exiting onto Carolina Beach Rd. which will increase the likelihood of an accident. Poor visual field from the truck/ and reckless attempts at getting out on 50 the road in a traffic "window" (which is not always a clear window with the density of vehicles on the road and our current speed limit here in front of this area is 55 mph) will create an unsafe situation for drivers in the U-Haul's, for oncoming drivers traveling South, and for other vehicles attempting to get out onto the road also from Sellars Cove, Beau Rivage, and Speedway Gas Station. Having these U-haul trucks at this entrance creates a vision obstruction for drivers attempting to pull out onto Carolina Beach Rd. 4. Having another proposed storage/rental facility like this is REDUNDANT. We have a considerable number of these types of facilities that currently meet the need for our immediate area. 2 U-Haul locations sit less than 4 miles away in either direction of this lot, 1 North and 1 South, plus the other non-U-Haul rental locations and self-storage facilities that are also nearby. It is unnecessary to allow another facility of this nature to be located on such a small land parcel that backs up only 100 Ft from our first condo building. If we "think" we need more of these facilities in this area, there are better suited locations that can accommodate this facility that won't present these traffic/proximity concerns as putting one here will have. 5. We love our home location! We enjoy having the small bit of what feels like privacy, a beautifully landscaped driveway and surrounding/outer trees along our property. The proposed facility "parking lot and multi-story building" is an undesirable eyesore, and the plan puts this facility in OUR backyard. It would allow for the obstruction of neighborhood peace, privacy, and would undoubtedly subject us to new lighting and noise pollution, especially for owner's units who are on the top third floor facing the facility. The prosed buffer is not enough, and there just isn't enough space to responsibly develop this kind of facility without encroachment into our neighborhood community. I understand that the future land use for this stretch of land along Carolina Beach Rd is Community Mixed Use according to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and that it can encompass commercial zoning. However, a facility of this nature is more small scale industrial like and it's just TOO industrial for this lot and its proximity to surrounding residential communities. 1 U-Haul location north of 421 appears to be in an Urban mixed-use area, and the other South on 421 is in a community mixed use area but it shares it location with a Midgard Storage facility that is the primary development for that land parcel. BOTH of these facilities sit on LARGER plots of land with GREATER proximity spacing to any residential community. North Chase is a great example according to your comprehensive plan that is a community mixed use area, and it has been developed with care and consideration for its residents as there are beautiful spacious residential areas with other small office, business and retail spaces throughout, with several storage and a couple U-Haul facilities, BUT none are encroaching on a residential community that threatens their space, privacy and safety. All have been thoughtfully placed to allow for convenience and need but offer a natural spacing that is sustainable while protecting and making the residential living areas attractive, safe, and natural looking. Also please consider that our stretch of 421 from Sanders to River Road at Snows Cut has had a lot of new development in less than 3 years, therefore increasing the number of people traveling to our area, not to mention we will always have the heavy traffic to Carolina Beach. Newly developed businesses include: 51  Express Oil Change and Tire Engineers  Harris Teeter Fuel Station  O'Learys Automotive (Now Car Guys)  Family Fare Gas Station  Midgard Storage  Re-Store (Just Built)  Tidal Wave Auto Spa (Just built)  Hanover Pines Nature Park (In-progress) In addition to these businesses, a 48-unit Townhome complex, Piersons Townhomes was just approved for rezoning and development by the board. These townhomes specifically will be situated on the left- hand side of Carolina beach road next to the Hanover Pines Nature Park. The close proximity to Cathay Rd. and the U-turn point will make this an increasingly more trafficked intersection. The intersection at Cathay is already very dangerous with many accidents happening monthly. We know the task of approving/disapproving land use/development requests is not an easy task. However, it is imperative now more than ever that decisions are made where responsible development is a priority and focuses on inclusivity to all things that make Wilmington attractive, safe, resourceful, natural and pristine. With the current Land Use plan being from 2016, it is becoming increasingly outdated as our City and County has experienced un-precented growth of people and businesses. Faster than anyone perceived happening, it has increased the pressures of decision making, and strains our area infrastructures. Times are challenging to find housing and create sustainable residential communities where we can have privacy, security, nature and promising resale values. Part of your responsibility is to look beyond and responsibly plan and create our communities to be the best and most sensible. Let's not develop every parcel of land just because we can. Let's ask, is this what is best for each and every area and are we creating meaningful sustainable areas that protect and uphold the quality of life for the residents of our beautiful county. Thank you for your time and consideration on this rezoning matter, we hope you will take time to really think, look at, and discuss the future of our area along Carolina Beach that we call home.

PB Meeting - Z23-18 - Office & Warehousing - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment As a property owner at Sellers Cove I oppose the proposal to rezone the property at 6218 CB Road to allow for a UHaul/Pods Storage. This type of business does not belong in a residential area that is approaching a very dangerous intersection at CB Road and Cathay. Carolina Beach Road is the main thoroughfare to Pleasure Island. There was a terrible accident at the intersection yesterday evening 10/3/23. The very small turn lane starting at ZaPie Pizza also supports a residence, the Sellers Cove community, Beau Rivage main 53 entrance and Speedway Gas Station. Adding a business that utilizes semi trucks for Pods containers and 40 trucks for rent by UHAUL with inexperienced drivers operating UHAUL vehicles onto an already heavily traveled road is not feasible. The combination of tourists, inexperienced UHAUL drivers, semi trucks and a dangerous intersection is a disaster waiting to happen. That type of business belongs in an industrial area, not a residential mixed use neighborhood. I know it is the NH County development plan to utilize every available space on CB Road as reported in the papers and on local news, but this use is not the right one. As someone who drives back and forth to work daily, it is already impossible to get into the left turn lane to go toward Monkey Junction. For safety I have to utilize Cathay Road to go anywhere. Children riding the school buses for our community and Beau Rivage are also a concern. Please take our concerns as taxpayers, residents and concerned citizens seriously. The county seems to cater to moneyed investors from out of town, as in the case of 6218 CB Road, who don't live here and care about anything but money. Thank you.

Once the house is gone and the trees regardless of what they plant, the Noise will increase. Most of us our Seniors so our breathing could be affected down the road. Apparently the Comprehensive plan from 2010 did not take in the fact that in 2023 Wilmington would be lot of Seniors who retire here. Can a UHAUL truck go 0 to 55 in seconds as the Speed Limit is 55 jn front of the business. I saw someone in a pick up going faster and a lady was making a left hand turn onto Cathay and he clipped the back of her car and turned her around and luckily she did not hit anyone. Scared me to death. The house.. the owner used to shoot off his guns during holidays so I know there is/was ammunition in that house, hopefully it will be removed so as not to cause an issue. When they start digging - I lived at the Keys Apartments and when Braxton decided to gut their office and pool, I was behind them on a first floor and yes the SNAKES came to visit. Maintenance removed a 5 foot one that wrapped itself on my lawn furniture. I can imagine what animals we will see and what we lose with our birds.. Cardinals, and Hummingbirds besides the squirrels. In the Spring we had the Coyotes from the Beau Rivage area by our mailbox area. Nature is always upset when we start digging. Having a clear shot of the noise on 421 will be something. Right now it's hidden even if the noise is there at least I don't see the cars. I will when the Trees are gone. Lighting - right now there is a spot light from ZA Pie that shines on my balcony. What kind of lights will shine in all our bedrooms. Their has to be lights to secure their facility. No one has talked about how the the area will be Lite UP? This is not the Right Spot and we have heard other investors may be interested if you VOTE NO to this project and it would be more residential which is perfect. Vote No this is not what Sellars Cove residents need or want. Thank you.

PB Meeting - Z23-18 - Office & Warehousing - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I am the owner of a condo located adjacent to the property at 6218 Carolina Beach Road. I am against the project of rezoning from a residential to a commercial/industrial site. The project is listed as a U-haul and pods parking area to be located directly behind my building. The constant traffic, loud noise of trucks coming and going, beeping of lift for the pods, pollution of air just behind our pool area will be a violation of my quality of living here. Right now we have a great place to live at with almost no noise from around us. We are mostly a 57 community of retired people who are finally able to enjoy peace and tranquility. With that project we will be enduring a tremendous low quality of life. There are other industrial areas in Wilmington that would be more appropriate to that type of business. Also the infrastructure of our roads is not adequate to such an addition of more traffic on Carolina Beach Rd. We only have one access out of our community and it is already very difficult to turn right and then immediately move in the turning lane to make a U-turn at the signal. I cannot even imagine what it would become especially when tourists are in season. It will turn into a nightmare. Please do not let it pass. Thanks.

Thank you. Good afternoon Commissioner; As a resident taxpayer and a Constituent of New Hanover County, I am opposed to the re-zoning of the subject track, addressed 6218 Carolina Beach Road, approximately 1.63 acres. The New Hanover County parcel number (pin) is 3133314.24.5134, and tax identification (pid)R07900-001-316-000, I live with 500’ perimeters of the proposed project at The Sellars Cove Community. Just as a reminder, I called each of you on August 23, 2023 to voice my opposition to the project, because I was out of town on an family emergency and could not attend the August 24th, 2023 meeting at Veterans Park, but, many of my neighbor did attend the meeting and had the opportunity to express their opposition to the project. I do appreciate the Commissioner that took the time to respond to my call by sending me a text message letting me know that he would communicate my concerns to each of you. My oppositions to the project are as follows: 1. It would have an adverse affect on the quality of life that I currently enjoy; impacting on the healthy environment that enriches the air quality that we as residents are entitled to. 2. It would impact on the privacy of the homeowners that directly face the proposed project; taking away our ability to open our windows to experience the cross flow of fresh air into our homes. We do not have a back door entrance and the windows allow us to turn off our air conditioners, lowering our utility bills. 59 3. It would impact our ability to raise our venetian blind, pull back our curtain and enjoy the privacy of walking freely around our units, without thinking that someone may be looking into our homes. 4. It would impact the quality of the environment for owners or tenant that sit out on their terraces, having to look down on trucks, vans, people moving in and out of the lot 24/7, hearing honking horns, and smelling gas fumes, and slamming doors. 5. It would impact the school bus stop that picks up and drop off NHC student during the school year. 6. It would impact on Sellars Coves & Beau Rivage resident’s ( visitors, mail truck, UPS, Fed X, Amazon, service trucks, and moving trucks).merging off the road lane to enter the community entrance. 7. It would cause an adverse affect on the already highly traveled Carolina Beach Road and to our residents waiting time to exit the property in order to merge onto Carolina beach road. It would add more traffic congestion to our road system. I can continue to list the various things that would impact the quality of our lives, but, I think each of you understand my concerns. As a child born in Wilmington, I remember my ancestral land in Federal Point and how they worked so hard to be good stewards of the land, I remember the dirt roads that existed and how we as children played on the dirt roads and the ancestral land of Elijah Moore; I can appreciate the progress, but how much more? There are many retired elderly people that live in Sellars cove, and this type of business would not add any value to our quality of life. I truly hope that each of you would put your selves in our shoes, and consider how you would like to wake up to smelling gas fumes on a daily bases. I am requesting that you give consideration to preserving the quality of our living experience in this community and deny the U-Hall project.

PB Meeting - Z23-18 - Office & Warehousing - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment Hi Here are the reasons for my opposition: I have owned a property adjacent to this for 16 years. - I worry about an environmental hazard that will affect the breathing of myself and several of my elderly neighbors. - There is a serious safety issue if the Sellers Cove neighborhood has an emergency. There is only ONE entrance and ONE exit. I would fear for my life if I were stuck in my complex because a truck might be blocking my exit. 61 - There is no tax basis for the commission to approve 4 employees and a payroll to support this dangerous business for any consideration - I have neighbors with Asma and COPD who will no longer have a buffer of the fumes from the main hyway. Those fumes will be deadly to the majority of these SENIORS who stay home in the Sellers Cove community.

Furthermore, the fumes and health hazards of the trucks and what is being stored in the air and ground water quality risks to our community, NO UHAUL storage facility such as this belongs in a residential neighborhood and that is what we are. This is an industrial type 63 of business with steel oversized container being dropped and the noise and health to our seniors and neighbors are at risk. Your own statutes say that this is not allowed in our community. Ashley HS is right next to us so the teens driving through this area and the buses picking up children with large UHAUL trucks blocking their view is a DANGER! to our youth as well.

Oppose project Public Comment I am a co-owner with my daughter and have many concerns with the proposed rezoning of the property at 6218 Carolina Beach Rd. The business that is being proposed is not needed in this area with more than 20 such types of storage in this area. I am also concerned with the impact that it would have to the ability to exit Condo Club Dr onto Carolina Beach. I already have trouble exiting and adding a business with people unused to driving trucks seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I am also concerned with the removal of old growth trees and the 65 impact of flooding and road collapse which has happened on Sanders Road. While progress has to be made with the growth of this area I believe we have to conserve what we can to make sure that we do not strip bear every piece of property. People move here for the beauty of our area and this seems to be just put anything anywhere. The area was chosen by us because it was surrounded by trees and greenery, we can open our windows and doors and spend time outside. This business will prevent that from happening.

Oppose project Public Comment As a co-owner I am concerned about the impact this rezoning will have on my neighborhood. My concerns are: The traffic- it is already very hard to exit the complex safety having trucks and trailers will compound that. The Noise- I believe that the noise from this type of business will impact my quality of life. Health- I believe that the fumes from the trucks will impact the health of the community. It would not allow for open windows and fresh air. We would also consume more energy to have to 67 run air conditioning instead of having the windows open, Fire and emergency- as our development has only one egress, having this type of business could impact our safety. If they had a issue with a truck or pod we would be confined. Our Children- Our bus stop is at the entrance to our property and our children could be in danger if truck and trailers are coming in and out. Lastely, we have an abundance of storage unit places in our area and another one is not warranted. U-Haul has 2 facilities in both directions on Carolina Beach Rd with in a mile of this proposed location which seems redundant.

PB Meeting - Z23-18 - Office & Warehousing - 6218 Carolina Beach Road What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment The project causes a toxic environmental impact on the quality of life for the residents that live directly adjacent to the property. The smell of the fumes impacts the overall health. Tearing down the trees, takes away the buffer for the toxic noise that already exist. Imposes a fire trap for the residents, adjacent the property. The Sellars Cove residents only have one exit out of their property. The materials stored there can be highly combustible. 69 The proposed changes conflicts with the NHC master plan. The project imposes a toxic industrial use upon a community that is predominantly senior citizens.
