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, Zach Dickerson 910-798-7450 1. General Comments a. Zoning is R-15, Single-Family Housing proposed. b. This is a proposed performance subdivision. i. Density for Performance Residential: 2.5 dwelling units per acre maximum. c. What is the easement for on the northeastern side of the development? 2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading a. Single-family homes require 2 parking spaces each. It appears this requirement will be met. Sea Glass Harbor – Major Subdivision – TRC Review Page | 2 3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity a. Please note that no building permit for any structure shall be issued which requires NCDOT approval for a Driveway Permit until NCDOT has issued the permit approval. Evidence of approval shall accompany the application for building permit. 4. UDO Section 5.3, Tree Retention a. Note: Land disturbance permits can be issued by county Engineering before a Tree Removal Permit is approved by Planning. However, any trees removed before the Tree Removal Permit is issued may result in enforcement action under Section 5.3.2 of the Unified Development Ordinance to include prohibiting any development of the site for 3 to 5 years. b. Tree Removal Sheet received with application- as discussed, given that this survey was conducted in 2021, staff will await a more recent tree survey before reviewing for the Tree Removal Permit. c. Please note that Tree Removal Permits are required only for the roads and other required infrastructure improvements (stormwater, etc.) for single-family residential developments. 5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering a. Landscaping is not required for single-family residential developments. b. Landscaping will be required for the amenity area, to be reviewed during a later TRC. 6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting a. Please note under 5.5.2.A that a lighting plan is not required for single-family residential projects and the county does not require street lights however a lighting plan is required for any amenity area. 7. UDO Section 5.6, Signs a. Is any sign planned for the entrance for this development? If so, please note a sign easement on the preliminary plan so it can follow to final plat to be recorded. 8. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources a. The New Hanover County Conservation Resource Map notes some areas of the Swamp Forest Conservation Resource in this area. b. It does not appear that the swamp forest reaches the 5-acre minimum area requirement for Conservation Resource controls. However, it is close at 4.84 acres per staff’s measurements. Sea Glass Harbor – Major Subdivision – TRC Review Page | 3 c. Existing conditions page notes a total of 0.63 acres of 404 wetlands, .18 acres of potential jurisdictional wetlands, and 0.34 of coastal wetlands. 9. UDO Section 5.8, Open Space Requirements a. 27.56 acres of open space @ 20% required open space for performance residential developments = 5.51 acres of open space required. b. Site plan notes 5.8 acres of open space provided. 10. UDO Article 6, Subdivision Design and Improvements. a. Sidewalks required on one side of all roads in R-15 developments. It appears this site plan meets that requirement. b. It appears that some of the private streets and alleys do not meet the minimum ROW/Travelway requirement. Please see below excerpt from the NCDOT Matrix Table for Private Road ROW Specifications: i. Specifically, is the travelway for Alleys B & C 13’? The ROW at 22’ appears fine. ii. Sections of Road C’s travelway appear to be 23’. iii. Alleys E & F appear to have a travelway of 15’. iv. Roads D & E, if they are to be designed as roads, need to meet the minimum requirements for travelway width and ROW. c. Block length is good, thanks! d. Thank you for providing the link:node ratio layout. Looks good. Sea Glass Harbor – Major Subdivision – TRC Review Page | 4 11. UDO Article 9, Flood Damage Prevention a. Portions of this property are within the 500 year floodplain, the AE floodplain and the VE Coastal High Hazard Area. b. FRIS Panel #3132 & Map number 3720313200K c. If in the AE or VE flood zones, each house when built must comply with floodplain regulation standards. NHC Fire Services, David Stone 910-798-7458 1. No additional comments. NHC Soil & Water Conservation, Dru Harrison 910-798-7138 1. Comments forthcoming. NHC Engineering, Galen Jamison 910-798-7072 1. A land disturbing permit issued by the County is required for this project since the anticipated limits of disturbance is greater than 1 acre. Please digitally submit the permit application documentation with requisite review fees for County issued permit directly to gjamison@nhcgov.com. Application and forms can be found at https://www.nhcgov.com/249/Sediment-Erosion-Control. 2. A County stormwater permit issued by the County is required for this project. Please digitally submit the permit applications documentation with requisite review fees to the COAST online permit portal (https://newhanovercountync- energovpub.tylerhost.net/apps/selfservice#/home). Applicable forms can be found at https://www.nhcgov.com/251/Stormwater however the application form is not required as the information will be gathered by the COAST portal. 3. There appears to be offsite drainage from the north and west that may need to be routed through the site which appears to discharge offsite via a 18” driveway culvert offsite. Please ensure the drainage design incorporates this offsite flow and will have n o impacts to adjacent parcels. 4. Should the offsite drainage coming from the north and west be routed through the site, it shall be placed in a public drainage easement sized in accordance with NHC Stormwater Manual. Construction within this offsite drainage conveyance measure that will be maintained by the county will need to be observed during construction by Stormwater Services and a turnover meeting scheduled once the system is ready to be conveyed to the county. Note, should the applicant elect to maintain the conveyance measures themselves, the POA covenants shall indicate the operation and maintenance roles and responsibilities for the conveyance measure. Sea Glass Harbor – Major Subdivision – TRC Review Page | 5 5. Please contact the State for their stormwater permit requirements. A high density permit is anticipated. NHC Environmental Health, Dustin Fenske 910-798-6732 1. Site Plan reflects connection to public water. Developer must locate, protect and properly abandon (via a Certified Well Driller) the water wells for the dwellings at 7171, 7167, 7127 Carolina Beach Rd. and 1104 Bozeman Rd. 2. Site Plan reflects connection to public sewer. Developer must properly abandon the septic tanks for the dwellings at 7171, 7167, 7127 Carolina Beach Rd. and 1104 Bozeman Rd. Proposed infrastructure such as the pump station and storm water pond do not appear to violate setbacks to any surrounding properties septic systems or wells. Infrastructure such as sewer force mains and manholes must maintain setbacks to 7175 and 7173 Carolina Beach Rd. water wells. 50 feet from force mains and 100 feet from manholes. NHC Addressing, McCabe Watson 910-798-7068 1. Please contact me with street name proposals prior to TRC approval. 2. Please contact me for address assignments following TRC approval. Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, Bernice Johnson 910-332-6620 1. CFPUA TRC Comments provided are preliminary comments only. 2. Utility Plan review will be 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. Water and sewer TBD. Per the Engineer, “the project is exploring potential of water through either CFPUA or Aqua; sewer is anticipated to be through Aqua”. 4. Currently the is no CFPUA water or sewer adjacent to the parcel. 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. NCDOT, Nick Drees 910-343-3915 1. See attached WMPO, Greer Templer 910-341-0107 1. See attached. Sea Glass Harbor – Major Subdivision – TRC Review Page | 6 Army Corps of Engineers, Brad Shaver 910-251-4611 1. There appears to be some level of permitting from the Corps for this project as jurisdictional tributaries appear to be impacted. The applicant will need to make sure necessary permits are secured before construction is underway. One comment regarding the preliminary plan would be the Corps would prefer any lot lines to be laid out absent of wetlands on individual properties. These layouts tend to result in indirect effects to wetlands once the lots are sold and homes constructed. NCDEQ, Kelsey Beachman 910-796-7270 1. I do not believe that DCM has received an application for this project at this time. From what I can see it looks like they will need to apply for a CAMA Major Permit for the potential docking facility and they would need to include any development activity that is located within the 75’ Area of Environmental Concern (from NHW), the 30’ Coastal Shoreline Buffer (from NHW), and any impacts to 404 Jurisdictional Wetlands (in the AEC) or Coastal Wetlands.
