Engineering Studies
The applicant may be required by the District Engineer to submit studies based on, but not limited to, the parameters outlined
herein. If study requirements of the local government agency are more restrictive than the NCDOT requirements, then local
government requirements will govern. However, this does not imply that the NCDOT is obligated to approve entrance designs
that are too constrictive to allow smooth and safe traffic flow. All studies including, but not limited to, Traffic Impact Analyses
(TIA), traffic signal studies, and drainage studies, must be prepared under the direct charge of and sealed by a North Carolina
licensed Professional Engineer.

Subject: 5920 Carolina Beach Road – Harris Teeter Building Expansion TRC Review
The following comments have been received for the May 1st, 2024, TRC meeting. 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 preliminary plan approval.
Planning, Zachary Dickerson 910-798-7450
1. General Comments
a. Please specify the square footage of the existing building on the site plan.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading
a. Please verify how many parking spaces are already provided in the existing lot.
i. My initial count was 297 just in the middle area and abutting the building, but
there is likely a shared parking agreement for this development.
b. Per Table 5.1.2.A, Minimum Off Street Parking Standards, 2.5 spaces are required per
1,000 sq ft of food market.
c. Once we have the sq footage of the existing building + the 6,023 sq ft expansion we can
calculate how many parking spaces would be required vs. what is already on site to ensure
there is sufficient parking per the UDO requirements.
3. UDO Section 5.3, Tree Retention
a. It does not appear there are any trees being removed for this project. Please confirm.
i. See notes in the below section about original Tree Removal Permit and retention.
Harris Teeter Expansion – 5920 Carolina Beach Road – TRC Review
Page | 2
4. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering
a. If there is new parking required, it will need to meet parking lot landscaping standards.
Please refer to UDO Section 5.4.5.
b. Per UDO Section 5.4.2.B, 15 trees are required to be planted or retained per acre
disturbed.
i. 6,023 sq ft is 14% of an acre, with 15 trees per acre = 2 trees planted or retained.
ii. Per the original tree removal permit for this development, there was payment
into the Tree Removal Fund, so it is not clear at this point whether there were
trees retained at the time that could be used towards the above requirement.
1. I could not find an original tree survey for this property. If there is one in
Harris Teeter’s files, that would be helpful to make this determination.
5. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting
a. Is any new lighting proposed for this development?
b. Please note 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.
6. UDO Section 5.6, Signs
a. If there are any new signs proposed for this development, please apply for sign permits
prior to installation.
7. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources
a. Per the New Hanover County Conservation Resource Overlay map, there are no
Conservation Resources on this portion of the site.
NHC Fire Services, Sunnie Batson 910-798-7464
1. Please see attached PDF.
NHC Engineering, Galen Jamison 910-798-7072
1. Infiltration basin #6 from ATC#335-08/21/06 indicates 63,115 SF of impervious area which
appears to be exceeded with this addition. Therefore, a permit revision will be required.
2. It appears the limits of disturbance will be below 1 acre, thereby not requiring a land disturbing
permit. Should land disturbing activities exceed 1 acre, a permit would be required.
3. Please contact the State for their stormwater permit requirements.

Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, Bernice Johnson 910-332-6620
1. CFPUA TRC Comments provided are preliminary comments only.
2. Utility Plan review required by CFPUA. CFPUA is moving toward becoming paperless. When
ready to submit plan review package, upload all documents to
https://www.cfpua.org/FormCenter/Engineering-3/Engineering-Plan-Review-103.
3. Parcel currently has CFPUA sewer. Water provided through NC Aqua.
4. Engineer will need to submit preliminary plans to CFPUA to determine if plan review will be
required.
5. Capacity is dependent on the analysis of the pipe collection system (gravity and force mains).
6. A capacity determination can be provided upon submittal of the NC DWQ FTA/FTSE Application
Form and a Preliminary Plan, this determination does not guarantee capacity.
7. Capacity is issued to projects on a first come, first serve basis, when capacity is available, the
plans meet Authority requirements, and the NC DWQ FTA/FTSE forms are signed by the
Authority.
