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, Robert Farrell 910-798-7164 1. General Comments (if applicable) a. The properties are zoned I-2, Heavy Industrial and the project proposes the installation of a road network a future commercial / industrial park. b. Project is in both New Hanover County and Pender County. New Hanover County and Pender County must both separately approve the project in order to proceed with any construction in New Hanover County. c. Consider shifting a section of Phillips Center Loop east away from running directly parallel to US 421 (shown in red). This would provide an area to retain trees and provide a vegetative buffer along the highway (shown in green). Phillips Center of Wilmington – 5820 Hwy 421 N – TRC Review Page | 2 2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading a. No parking required for the initial infrastructure phase of the project. Each future site will be responsible for providing adequate off-street parking in compliance with Section 5.1 Parking and Loading. 3. UDO Section 5.3, Tree Retention a. A separate tree retention permit will need to be submitted through COAST. b. The Tree Removal Permit application can be found on our website at: https://www.nhcgov.com/DocumentCenter/View/1239/Tree-Removal-Permit-PDF c. The TRC application includes a plot sampling survey of trees on site. d. The Site Data Table on page C 2.0 indicates 64 total disturbed acres. Is that the acreage of the proposed roadways and infrastructure for both Phase I and II? e. And is that inclusive of the acreage disturbed in Pender County? f. In order to calculate any required mitigation the tree removal permit application materials should indicate the areas disturbed, the total acreage in New Hanover County. g. The tree removal permit can apply only to the roadway and other infrastructure proposed. Each individual future development in the industrial / commercial park within New Hanover County would be subject to the tree retention standards. Phillips Center of Wilmington – 5820 Hwy 421 N – TRC Review Page | 3 h. Any trees that may be required for mitigation for this infrastructure phase of the project may not count for mitigation on future tree removal activities. 4. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering a. Landscaping and buffering are not required for the installation of infrastructure. Each development in the industrial / business park will be responsible for providing the required street yard, parking, and any other required landscaping and buffering on their individual sites. 5. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting a. Are streetlights included in the infrastructure phase? If so, streetlights must comply with the lighting standards of Section 5.5. b. Each future site will be required to submit their own individual lighting plan for approval at the time of development. 6. UDO Section 5.6, Signs a. The primary entrance is in Pender County’s jurisdiction. If a primary development sign is proposed at the entrance, it must meet the requirements of Pender County. b. Any signs inside the jurisdiction of New Hanover County will need to meet the county’s sign requirements. 7. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources a. There are approximately 31.5 acres of Swamp Forest conservation resources b. There are approximately 18.5 acres of Pocosin conservation resources in the project area. 6.5 acres are underlaid with Class IV soil. c. A minimum of 5 acres of a conservation resource triggers additional ordinance requirements under Section 5.7. d. Table 5.7.3.A.5 establishes the calculation for determining the minimum amount of conservation space required. The calculation is the total acreage of the conservation resource multiplied by 0.5. i. 31.5 acres x 0.5 = 15.75 ii. 6.5 acres x 0.5 = 3.25 iii. 15.75 + 3.25 = 19 total acres required for conservation. e. Table 5.7.4 Additional Performance Controls states that when there are 3 or more acres of a Swamp Forest or Pocosin conservation resource additional standards are required under Section 5.7.4.C Phillips Center of Wilmington – 5820 Hwy 421 N – TRC Review Page | 4 i. All structures and impervious surfaces shall be set back 50 feet from the conservation resource. ii. On-site retention and percolation areas shall be required for the entire parcel sufficient to control, at a minimum, the first 0.5 inches of runoff that will originate from all impervious surfaces anticipated to be on the site upon final development. The specified amount of runoff from impervious surfaces shall be disposed of by percolation into the soil, evaporation, transpiration, or other methods of treatment or handling acceptable to the County Engineering Department. 8. UDO Section 5.8, Open Space Requirements (if applicable) a. Not applicable to the installation of infrastructure. b. While open space is not required, the Conservation Resource standards of Section 5.7 require a minimum of 19 acres of conservation space. 9. UDO Article VI Subdivision Design and Improvements a.
