Additional comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions. Please note: following the TRC meeting, a revised preliminary plan addressing each of the below items must be resubmitted prior to receiving plan approval. Planning, Zach Dickerson 910-798-7450 1. Zoning: B-1 & SHOD a. Use: Convenience Store, Fuel Station b. Site plan is compliant with the SHOD. 2. General Comments: a. Please note the below standards from UDO Section 4.3.4.I.2 for Fuel Sales: i. Fuel sales in all districts where allowed shall comply with the following standards: a. The premises shall not be used for the sale of vehicles. b. Fuel pump canopies shall meet the setbacks of the underlying zoning district, as measured from the outer edge of any supportive structure physically connected to a fuel pump and the ground along a straight line to the nearest point of the property line. c. Setback distances from street rights-of-way may be reduced by one-half. b. Please correct spelling of “Seneca Drive” to “Senca Drive” on the site plan. c. For all parking spaces in excess of the required 2.5/1,000 sq ft, please consider using permeable pavement. 3. Tree Retention: a. For the trees planned to be removed on-site, please apply for a Tree Removal Permit. b. Depending on the species of the 18” pine being removed, it may require mitigation. c. Please refer to NHC UDO Section 5.3 for Tree Removal Standards. d. When submitting for the Tree Removal Permit, please include a Tree Inventory Table. You can use the Tree Mitigation Worksheet under the applications tab on our website for this. 9010 Senca Drive – Wawa and Fuel Station – B-1 – TRC Review Page | 2 4. Landscaping: a. For the loading zone along the building’s northern side- please note that areas for drive- thru services or loading areas are not required to have foundation plantings. b. Since this site has three street frontages, that makes it tricky. Only your primary street frontage requires the full amount of street yard (18 s.f. for every linear foot of street yard). The secondary street frontages only require half of that, so 9 s.f. for every linear foot of street yard. c. Where sites have more than one street frontage, we have allowed the developer a little leeway- some have chosen to treat the primary entrance point (Scotts Hill Medical Dr in this case) at the primary street frontage, but in this case you could treat Hwy 17 as the primary street frontage if you wanted. d. Regardless of which street frontage you choose as the primary, you will still need street yard plantings for the Market St/Hwy 17 frontage. e. The SHOD plantings that are shown on the plan are only required if you want to reduce the 100’ setback to 75’. f. Please note that trees required for street yard and parking lot landscaping requirements do not count towards the 15 trees planted or retained per acre disturbed requirement. That being said, there may be some math we can work with outlined below with the street yard trees. g. This is where you can get creative with meeting the 15 trees planted/retained per acre disturbed. It looks like that requirement puts you at 34 trees planted/retained. i. The 16 wax myrtles along the southern boundary of the site would count for this, since B-1 does not require a transitional buffer to other B-1. ii. The SHOD trees that you have shown on the site plan, because they’re not being used to reduce the setback, could count towards this. iii. Any trees planted in the street yards in excess of what is required would count towards this. h. Please note that per UDO Table 5.4.5.C, no parking space shall be more than 120’ from a parking lot island rather than 50’. But if the site was designed with the 50’ minimum in mind, then you’re all set. 5. Lighting: a. Please note that with the latest update to the UDO, a lighting plan is not required at time of TRC Approval. See below excerpt from Section 5.5.3: i. Information about the exterior lighting for the site that demonstrates compliance with the standards in this section shall be submitted in conjunction with an application for site plan approval (Section 10.3.6, Site Plan) or zoning compliance approval (Section 10.3.8, Zoning Compliance Approval), whichever comes first, approved no later than at time of construction plan approval. b. When available, please send over lighting plan for review and approval. 6. Signs: a. Please note that all signs are subject to section 5.6 of the UDO. We have already spoken about the sign for this site and are good with it. b. Please submit for sign permits prior to change-out of lettering/details. 7. Please provide all NCDOT approvals upon receipt. Please be aware that no building permit will be issued until NCDOT has issued the Driveway Permit approval. 9010 Senca Drive – Wawa and Fuel Station – B-1 – TRC Review Page | 3 Fire Services, David Stone 910-798-7464 1.

The fire code official may increase this width as necessary based on potential for fire apparatus response. Dead end roads greater than 150 feet in length shall require an approved means for fire apparatus to turn around (Chapter 5 and Appendix D). Fire apparatus access roads shall provide a clear vertical clearance of 14 feet including trees, canopies, bridges, etc. (Chapter 5 requirement is 13 feet 6 inches, however AHJ requires 14 feet based on local apparatus). 8.

If facilities or buildings brought into or built within the jurisdiction are more than 400 feet from a hydrant on a fire apparatus access road, as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the facility or building, on-site fire hydrant and mains shall be provided. (Please show existing/proposed fire hydrants on site plan/utility plan.) 14. Fire Hydrants a. All fire hydrants shall have a 5 ¼ inch barrel, a 5 ¼ inch valve opening, two 2 ½ inch NST side discharges and a 5 inch pumper nozzle with a 5 inch STORZ connection. Further information on the technical specifications is available from the fire code official or Cape Fear Public Utility Authority. b.

MEMORANDUM To: New Hanover County Technical Review Committee Date: 11/3/23 Subject: 188 Porters Neck Rd – Restaurant/Retail Comments: • According to the NCDOT State Maintained Network Map, this section of Porters Neck Rd is NCDOT maintained. However, NCDOT plans have shown this is not part of their system. NCDOT is currently reviewing whether this section of Porters Neck Rd is part of the state system. • Label radius of driveway connection and all other radii. • Provide turning templates of the largest design vehicle to access the site. • Show AASHTO sight distance triangles at driveways in accordance with AASHTO’s Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. No obstruction may fall within the sight distance triangles.
