PB Meeting - Z23- 25 - Covenant II - 3100 block of Blue Clay
Rd
What is the nature of your
comment?
Oppose project
Public Comment The idea of putting 180 dwelling units in such a small space is
ridiculous. Castle Hayne does not have the infrastructure to
support this manner of project. There aren't enough resources
like stores, not to mention roads and schools. The original
proposed plan of 68 townhomes is much better suited to the
neighborhoods surrounding this proposed project.
There has already been an increase in traffic due to all of the
additional housing that has been added to Sidbury road. The
2
rampant construction of new apartment complexes is
something that is plaguing this area and is clearly a means to
extract as much money from the local area without any concern
for the effect this has on people that have set down roots in the
area.
Please keep this a 68 unit project vs a 180 unit.

Public Comment Questions:
1. How will this affect my property tax?
2. How will this affect the value of my home?
3. Is this consider "section 8" / affordable housing? If so, what
is the vetting process for residence?
4. How much traffic on Alex Trask will increase? With
increased traffic, is there a plan for road resurfacing and/or
restructuring, and speed bumps?
5. How will this affect drainage and run-off that goes through
4
my backyard?
6. How will this affect water and sewage in the neighborhood?
Kind regards,
Katherine

Public Comment I oppose the above project. The area that these apartments are
intended does not support the amount of individuals that would
be coming into the area. There is not enough infrastructure in
the community’s businesses now does this neighborhood want
that many individuals backing up to our homes.

Oppose project
Public Comment I would like to state my opposition to the proposed zoning
change. The project would significantly change the character of
the neighborhood. Since attending the informational meeting,
I’ve taken note of the three story apartment complexes around
New Hanover County. I’m unaware of any that exist directly
between two established neighborhoods in such close
proximity. A three story complex is on College Road across
from a shopping center and next to a major grocery store. In
contrast to the College Road complex and other appropriately
8
placed three story apartments, the Covenant Project would not
be directly accessed from a commercial area. The narrow
access road that would serve the 180 units would create a
steady flow of traffic less than 60 ft from the small backyards
on Blue Bonnet Circle. The three story buildings are proposed
to have balconies that will look directly over their neighbor’s
yards. The amount of noise created by voices and vehicles
would have a negative impact on the quality of life. The roughly
ten acres would be covered almost entirely with buildings and
parking spaces with very little green space. How many square
feet of green space per resident is acceptable? This project
was recently rezoned to accommodate two story housing which
better fit with the density and character of the neighborhood.
The proposed rezoning would create an undesirable housing
environment for the two established neighborhoods and will
negatively affect the property values.

Public Comment This area is not set up to handle that much of an increase in
residents. We don’t have the public transit set up to service
apartments in that location. It would make much more sense
for apartments to be closer to food lion or Lowes, as most
apartment residents would need or prefer grocery stores and
bus stops within walking distance. Town homes make much
more sense in this particular block, surrounded by all of these
houses.
