COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN
MODIFICATION APPROVAL
To: Amy Norris – Norris & Tunstall Consulting Engineers, P.C. (anorris@ntengineers.com)
From: Robert Farrell, Development Review Supervisor
Date: March 11, 2024
Subject: Commercial Site Plan Modification Approval – Wilmington Trade Center Building 3
The commercial site plan and landscape plan for Wilmington Trade Center was originally approved
November 19, 2020. The approved commercial site plan consisted of three office/warehouse
buildings with associated parking and landscaping on 25.4 acres of land located at 4104 US HWY
421.
February 29, 2024 Planning staff received a request to modify the size of Building 3 on the
approved site plan. The proposed modification was to reduce Building 3 from 110,250 square feet
with 105 parking spaces to 100,080 square feet with 99 parking spaces with associated adjustments
to landscaping.
This approval is valid for two years unless a building permit or zoning compliance approval
authorizing the approved development is obtained.
Please note the project may be subject to additional regulations of the County’s development
ordinances, including, but not limited to, those referenced in the TRC comments dated May 22, 2020,
and as revised. In addition, this approval does not relieve the applicant from any law, regulation,
or requirement of any other government or regulatory agency.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (910) 798-7164 or
rfarrell@nhcgov.com.
Thanks,
Robert Farrell, Development Review Supervisor

Robert & Zach,
Good afternoon. Per the e-mail below, here is my Dropbox link
(https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/yddy52805fzau3j4bpcj3/h?rlkey=gdhbb7u8ayiqxx6q6zrdjwtd4&dl=0 ) to
retrieve the revised plan set for your review and approval (I tried to reduce the file as much as possible).
Note: The revised Landscape Plans are being prepared. We are NOT removing any additional trees for the
Bldg 3 revisions. Please advise what documents you want us to submit for the Tree Permit Revision (if any).
Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Thanks,
Amy

Good aŌernoon,
A reducƟon in the project would not likely require a new TRC meeƟng, especially since there is already a site approval
for the property. If you email a copy of the plans we’ll start reviewing them and get them out for comment.
Thanks,
Robert

Robert,
Good morning. The subject project is Bldg #3 at the Wilmington Trade Center and was previously
permitted. The building is now getting smaller & we are revising the 3rd driveway due to a development behind
the site. Do we need to go through the full NHC TRC process again or can we submit revised plans to NHC
Planning for review & approval, along w/ revision submittals to EC & Stormwater? Please advise.
Thanks,
Amy for John S. Tunstall, P.E.
