Planning, Zach Dickerson 910-798-7450 1. General Comments a. The site plan states that this property is zoned (CZD) B-1, but my records show that it is R-15. i. Where did the (CZD) B-1 come from? Just want to make sure we are on the same page. ii. Page 3 notes that the zoning is just B-1. iii. Page 6 notes the zoning as R-15, which reflects our records. b. Use: Religious Assembly, R-15 permitted by-right. HDS: Zoning has been corrected on plans. 2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading a. Parking for religious assembly is based on number of seats in largest assembly area. HDS: Added parking calculation based on seat numbers. b. One space is required for every 5 seats in the largest assembly area. HDS: Added parking calculation based on seat numbers. c. Please confirm number of seats in both the proposed church and future expansion, and please confirm whether the future expansion will house the assembly area?

For the trees that are planned for removal on the site, please submit for a Tree Removal Permit. HDS: Tree removal permit attached. Please see NHC Mitigation calculations. b. It would be helpful for the processing of that permit if on the tree table shown on page 4, there is a column showing the trees that are planned to be removed. i. Is this what the graying/highlight is intended for? It appears so, just want to confirm. If so, that works too. HDS: The grayed out trees are trees to be removed. 5.

New Hanover County Conservation Resource Overlay Map indicates that the entire site contains the Pocosin Conservation Resource. Because the site is greater than 5 acres, this triggers the Conservation Resource Standards, laid out below: i. Per Table 5.7.3.A.5, Pocosin requires the total amount of the resource on the site to be multiplied by the Conservation Space Factor of 0.5. ii. For the total site acreage of 8.9 acres, this calculation comes to 4.45 acres of conservation space required on the site. Faith Community Methodist Church – 6910 Sidbury Road – TRC Review Page | 5 iii. The wetlands noted on the site can be set aside towards this requirement and will remain as conservation space, but this needs to be noted on the site plan and the calculations shown on the site plan. HDS: Calculation added to plans. b. It appears that a portion of the future expansion and some of the parking will be located in wetlands on the site.

Site plan reflects potential connection to CFPUA Sewer. Site must connect to CFPUA sewer or appropriate septic system applications submitted and permits must be obtained.
