PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Neutral Public Comment Representing Coastal Christian High School, I have the following questions regarding the Tarin Woods application: 1. Has there been approval for the Tarin Woods egress point to go all the way out to Carolina Beach Road from the traffic circle? 2. Has the traffic from Target, Home Depot, future business development, and the two schools (CCHS and MGCS) been analyzed for additional impact on Carolina Beach Road from 2 the higher density proposal of Tarin Woods? 3. What is the purpose of the dead end road that is shown joining the CCHS property on the NW corner of the diagram? This road is shown ending against the CCHS fence line. Why? 4. Will there be any requirement for privacy fencing or sound barriers between CCHS and Tarin Woods? CCHS is always concerned about safety of its students. CCHS also receives regular complaints about noise from our neighbors who bought houses in Kailey's Cove. The noise is simply from cheering sports fans and usual school outdoor activities. Police officers are called often by the Kailey's Cove homeowners to address this when our students are simply cheering on their teams. Is the 50 foot distance to the quadraplexes enough for safety and noise control? 5. Will there be any other fencing or barrier requirement of the Tarin Woods developers to prevent foot and bicycle traffic from passing out of the NW corner of the development and crossing through the CCHS school property to get to the new Target store? People tend to walk the shortest distance possible to their destination. Again a safety concern and larger problem with the higher density of the development.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I am worried about land being used for higher density house. Our infrastructure in the Monkey Junction/Myrtle Grove area does not allow for what has already been developed in the last several years and this will only make it worse. By allowing higher density housing it will increase traffic collisions and transit time. Not to mention the schools are already overcrowded and cannot allow for many more students. Please do not approve this. Thank you. 3 Farrell, Robert From:noreply@civicplus.com Sent:Thursday, May 1, 2025 7:12 AM To:May, Katherine; Roth, Rebekah; Vafier, Ken; Farrell, Robert; Doss, Amy; Dickerson, Zachary; Beil, Ryan; Watson, McCabe Subject:Online Form Submission #23930 for Public Comment Form ** External Email: Do not click links, open attachments, or reply until you know it is safe ** Public Comment Form Public Comment Form The agenda items listed are available for public comment at an upcoming Planning Board or Board of Commissioners meeting.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment It is a matter of public record that this developer, Hoosier Daddy LLC, has repeatedly requested special use permits to build high density dwellings on this same property and been consistently denied by the NHC Planning Board ("the Board"). This history goes back years. The previous denials by the Board were quasi-judicial and are now legally binding precedent, such that the Board cannot now approve a proposal by Hoosier Daddy LLC which does not address past concerns underlying previous denials. Yet, rather than come back with a 4 proposal modified in light of past denials, Hoosier Daddy LLC appears to be doubling down by proposing more, not less, high-density (based on my recollection previous proposals were for mixed single family and high density). As before, high density dwellings would have substantial negative impacts on the surrounding R-15 neighborhoods and community infrastructure which cannot be justified. The transparent justification for Hoosier Daddy's special use requests is maximizing profit at the expense of the surrounding community. Hoosier Daddy's repeated requests despite consistent denials reveal a disregard for the Board's decisions and the affected community.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I oppose this project because our neighborhood schools are already at maximum occupancy and cannot sustain high density development. It would add too many students to an already maxed out situation. Also, our infrastructure does not support this development. Traffic is already so bad that it takes 40 minutes to go 8 miles down College Rd through town. Further, it will be impossible to evacuate during a hurricane with the amount of traffic trying to leave the area. This puts all of our lives in danger. 6 There are also problems with flooding in Tarin Woods II and the board has not signed off on infrastructure development because of these issues. Flooding risk will be even worse if the developer is allowed to build more impurmeable space here. Finally, this are is a community of single family owned homes. Developing high density right next to these homes is incompatible with these communities and puts a strain on living conditions here. We have Battle Park, Tarin Woods I and II, Covington, and Congleton homes which all share Manassas Dr. as the primary enter and exit points for traffic. It is at maximum capacity now and cannot sustain more traffic. The County Commissioners already voted down this developer's attempts to build high density units in this community. He refuses to listen to their comments or decisions and continues to attempt to bypass their decisions. It's time he was stopped for good.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment This area is already congested. Adding new homes will be detrimental to the infrastructure. Where will these new-to-the- area children go to school? Bellamy is already full. The natural habitat and trees need to remain for natural filtration of water so the homes do not flood. There is already an issue with drainage in some of the homes in this area. This is a terrible idea to add more homes to this area. 9 Farrell, Robert From:noreply@civicplus.com Sent:Wednesday, April 30, 2025 8:48 PM To:May, Katherine; Roth, Rebekah; Vafier, Ken; Farrell, Robert; Doss, Amy; Dickerson, Zachary; Beil, Ryan; Watson, McCabe Subject:Online Form Submission #23921 for Public Comment Form ** External Email: Do not click links, open attachments, or reply until you know it is safe ** Public Comment Form Public Comment Form The agenda items listed are available for public comment at an upcoming Planning Board or Board of Commissioners meeting.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Committee, S25-02 Tarin Woods additional dwelling allowance I am writing as a concerned resident of Kaylie’s Cove Neighborhood to formally object to the proposed development of a high-density residential dwellings located approximately 500 feet from my home at 5657 Claremont Ct 28409 While I understand the need for housing development to 12 accommodate population growth, I believe this particular proposal poses serious concerns that outweigh potential benefits. Specifically: Impact on Traffic and Safety: Increased population density in the area is already strained. Constant accidents on the roads of Carolina Beach, Piner, and College. It is a dangerous area and the roads are already crowded. Strain on Infrastructure: Our local infrastructure, including schools, water supply, sewage systems, and emergency services, is already under pressure. Adding a high-density complex without clear plans for infrastructure upgrades is unsustainable. Environmental and Noise Concerns: The natural character and quiet enjoyment of our residential area will be significantly disrupted. The scale of the proposed development is inconsistent with the surrounding neighborhood’s character and may negatively affect property values. Community Character and Aesthetics: Our neighborhood was developed with a low-density vision in mind. Introducing a high- density structure undermines that vision and may set a precedent for future developments that would alter the community’s identity. For these reasons, I respectfully urge the committee to reconsider or reject the proposed high-density housing development. I—and many of my neighbors—would appreciate an opportunity for further community input and dialogue before any final decision is made. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Battle Park, Covington, Tarin Woods, Congleton Woods, and Sentry Oaks are all single family homes. The area is overwhelmingly crowded already with excessive traffic. There has been deep flooding on Sand Ridge, Appomattox, and Sweet Gum. These roads, along with the anticipated development on Shiloh will all lead out to Manassas which is heavily trafficked already. The median on Manassas is 16 still waiting to be replenished after all the trees shrubs, neighborhood sign, and barriers have been removed as a result of what Hoosier daddy refers to as improvements they’ve made. This used to be a a nice quiet neighborhood. Harmony will be totally discarded by this proposal. Upload supporting files If you need to support your comment with documentation, upload the files here.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project 20 Public Comment Dear Planning Board Members and Commissioners, I am writing on behalf of the communities of Tarin Woods, Battle Park, Congleton Farms, Covington, and other nearby neighborhoods to formally oppose the proposed Special Use Permit that would allow for an increase in residential density to 10.2 units per acre in an R- 15 zoned area, which currently allows for a maximum of 2.5 units per acre. The applicant’s proposal—to introduce high-density residential units such as apartments and townhomes into an established, single-family neighborhood—is deeply concerning for several reasons and does not align with the character, capacity, or infrastructure of our community. Our major concerns include: Repeated Attempts to Circumvent Zoning Intent: This developer has submitted five previous requests for rezoning or increased density via Special Use Permits. All have been denied or withdrawn, largely due to consistent concerns expressed by this Board and the Commissioners. Despite clear feedback that the proposed densities are excessive, each new request continues to push even higher density levels—further straining local infrastructure and disregarding community input. Poor Construction & Oversight History: The developer’s track record in the existing phases of Tarin Woods raises serious concerns about their capacity to responsibly manage a higher-density project. Road surfaces have deteriorated rapidly, stormwater systems have proven inadequate during routine storms, and common areas are poorly maintained. These are not minor grievances—they reflect a pattern of low-quality workmanship and neglect, which would only be magnified in a high-volume, high-density buildout. Traffic & Safety: Carolina Beach Road and surrounding streets are already congested, and this development would introduce hundreds more vehicles. This increase would raise safety risks and strain emergency response times in the area. Stormwater Management & Flooding: New phases of Tarin Woods are already seeing frequent flooding, worsened by tree removal and poorly designed water systems. The proposed plan adds nearly 18 acres of impervious surface over land with Pamlico soils, a historically wetland type. This is a serious hazard for future and current homeowners. Environmental Impact: Increased density, clear-cutting, and paving over sensitive soils will irreversibly alter the local ecosystem and amplify flooding, erosion, and pollution issues that are already emerging. School Overcrowding: New Hanover County Schools are over capacity. This development could generate 400+ additional students, equivalent to the population of a new school— without any plan or infrastructure to support them. Neighborhood Incompatibility: The applicant argues this is a "transitional" area, but that’s inaccurate. This site is fully surrounded by low-density, single-family homes and is not adjacent to commercial or higher-density areas. The development would be an outlier, not a transition. 21 Inadequate Public Notice: Inadequate Public Notice: We were given just two weeks’ notice before the May 1 Planning Board hearing—hardly enough time to coordinate responses, consult experts, or gather data. Communities deserve better consideration in decisions of this magnitude. We respectfully request a continuation of this case to allow residents sufficient time to prepare evidence, consult with qualified professionals, and ensure a fair and informed public process, particularly with the special procedures in place for Quasi Judicial Hearings. We urge the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners to preserve the intent of R-15 zoning and reject this request. To approve this Special Use Permit would be to reward a developer with a documented history of substandard work and a pattern of ignoring public and governmental input, while placing an enormous and unnecessary burden on area residents and county resources. Thank you for your service and your thoughtful consideration of our concerns.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment Residents of Tarin Woods, Kaylie's Cove, and Myrtle Gardens strongly oppose a special use permit to be issued for the project located at 5741 Carolina Beach Road (Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance). It is pretty audacious for the developer to propose building at a density that is over 4x over the limit for R-15 zoning. A special use permit of this nature will put additional strain on roads that are already being pushed to the limit, particularly Myrtle Grove Rd., Piner Rd. and Carolina Beach Rd. This present a clear danger of increased automobile 4 crashes. Beyond the safety issues and lack of existing infrastructure to support this may units, this project would also have a negative impact on residential property values nearby. Finally, this proposal is very different from its surrounding neighborhoods. It would disrupt the flow of neighborhoods of single family homes in an ugly way. I stand united with my neighbors in opposition to this proposal. Please do not let this beautiful area of New Hanover County be disrupted by quadrupling the allowable density.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment This request will inevitably create a significant traffic situation for both the neighborhood and externally. There is a current issue with u turns at Manassas drive, adding additional traffic that's motivated to either u turn or go through the neighborhood to get to new homes will cause increase concerns. Also, most people get to Myrtle Grove Rd through Sweet Gum and Lt. Congleton neighborhood, that traffic will only increase and cause additional concerns with apartments. This neighborhood is a family centered and cared for neighborhood where 8 neighbors consider that children are out playing or riding bikes. That mindfulness disappears when you add non- families and additional people. I have concerns about the property value of my home as well.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment In this latest request, the developer has increased the amount of high density housing from what was rejected in previous submittals/plans. It’s obvious he is completely ignoring any of the previous concerns raised by residents and neighbors and is using a Special Use Permit as just another mechanism to avoid addressing the real issue with his plans (increased traffic, 10 overpopulation, negative impact to neighboring housing values, etc). I understand the developer is not responsible for the lack of infrastructure in New Hanover County and shouldn’t be penalized for it, but the reality is the infrastructure, including roads and schools, have not kept up with the tremendous population growth. Taking a broader view of all the current and planned construction occurring in and around the vicinity of this project, it would be irresponsible to approve this Special Use Permit and respectfully ask that it be denied.

April 29, 2025 New Hanover County Planning Commission New Hanover County Board of Commissioners To whom it may concern: As the elected Board of Directors representing the Tarin Woods Property Owners Association (“POA”), we respectfully submit this formal response opposing the Special Use Permit Request (S25-02) filed by Samuel Potter of Equitas Law Partners, LLP on behalf of Hoosier Daddy, LLC, the developer of the Tarin Woods community. Since its establishment through a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements (“Covenants”) recorded on February 15, 2013, Tarin Woods has grown into a vibrant residential community of 345 single-family homes. It includes approximately 30 acres of open space, a community pool, clubhouse, playground, sports courts, 11 ponds (all with fountains), and four mailbox stations. Our roads—though privately owned—are widely used, not only by our residents but by neighboring communities including Lt. Congleton, Sentry Oaks, Covington, and Battle Park, as well as commuters cutting through from Carolina Beach Road to Myrtle Grove Road. The community is deeply concerned by the developer’s new proposal to add 290 apartments, 146 townhomes, and a 5–6 story building ("Manor House"), which would bring an estimated 543 additional vehicles (according to the plan submitted by the developer) through our already overburdened infrastructure—daily. These plans are alarming not only in scope but in timing and context, given the current state of neglect and disrepair in the still-incomplete Tarin Woods II section. Our private roads, including Sweet Gum Drive, Short Leaf Way, Ironwood Drive, Black Ash Run, Sweet Shrub Court, and Canopy Way, are deteriorating at an unsustainable rate. We are currently undergoing a road study with a certified engineering firm, funded entirely by our POA, which will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Preliminary findings indicate these roads—many less than five years old—are projected to fail entirely within 1–3 years. Additionally, there is indication that pipes underground moving storm water may be failing which is causing areas of roads to sink. Despite repeated appeals to the developer to address sinkholes, potholes, alligator cracking, and general substandard construction, no action has been taken. Meanwhile, these roads continue to be damaged by the developer’s own construction vehicles—vehicles hauling dirt for other projects entirely unrelated to Tarin Woods. The financial burden of these repairs is unfairly being pushed onto the residents, while the developer, who still holds ownership of these roads, continues to benefit. This is not only unsustainable—it is unacceptable. Further compounding the issue is the developer’s continued failure to uphold obligations laid out in Article VI, Section 2 of the Covenants, which clearly state that “Common Areas…shall at all times be maintained in good repair and condition…by the Developer, and upon conveyance, the Association.” The Developer has not conveyed the land to the POA as of this date. Yet numerous Common Areas in Tarin Woods II remain incomplete, neglected, and in some cases, hazardous. These include: • An unfinished and deteriorating walking path posing safety risks ($20,000+ estimated to repair) • A large, unsodded field overgrown with weeds, which the POA is forced to maintain • Dead trees removed at POA expense to protect adjacent homes • An amenity area—pickleball court, basketball court, and a mail station—that has never been properly maintained • Large berms and weedy open spaces left in disrepair • A concrete slab installed by the POA (at its own cost) to avoid halted mail service due to soggy, impassable terrain—despite and offer by the POA to split the cost with the developer, who refused to contribute These failures already place undue financial and logistical strain on the POA and its homeowners. Now, the developer is asking for approval to dramatically increase the size of the community by 444 additional housing units—with no assurances that similar neglect will not be repeated. Let us also be clear: The Covenants written by the developer do not include provisions for apartment complexes within Tarin Woods. Introducing multi-family apartment units into a single-family community with shared POA obligations—without consultation or collaboration with the Board—is not only a dramatic shift from the original community structure, but it raises serious concerns about fairness, resource allocation, and community character. We recognize that the remaining undeveloped land will eventually be built upon. However, approving this application as proposed—at this scale and without addressing the developer’s past failures —is deeply irresponsible. The existing community should not be penalized or destabilized for the developer’s expansion ambitions. We invite members of the Planning Commission and the Board of Commissioners to personally tour Tarin Woods II to witness the current state of developer-owned infrastructure and common areas. We fear the same neglect will befall any new development unless strong oversight and accountability are required up front. We urge you to deny this Special Use Permit in its current form. At minimum, no approval should be granted until: • The existing infrastructure is repaired to acceptable standards • Outstanding Common Area projects are completed • A full review of how apartments would affect the community, Covenants, and POA financial structure is conducted—with POA involvement Thank you for your time, your thoughtful consideration of our concerns, and your commitment to ensuring the long-term sustainability and livability of communities like Tarin Woods.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment The traffic in and out of Manassas Rd is already heavy during the day and the intersection has more traffic than it can handle. There is often flooding on the Tarin Woods 2 part of the neighborhood and bringing in more housing and structures limits the amount of water that can be drained and absorbed by less ground coverage. Please refrain from multi-unit housing based on the future traffic and flooding problems it would bring. 15 Farrell, Robert From:noreply@civicplus.com Sent:Tuesday, April 29, 2025 1:03 PM To:May, Katherine; Roth, Rebekah; Vafier, Ken; Farrell, Robert; Doss, Amy; Dickerson, Zachary; Beil, Ryan; Watson, McCabe Subject:Online Form Submission #23824 for Public Comment Form ** External Email: Do not click links, open attachments, or reply until you know it is safe ** Public Comment Form Public Comment Form The agenda items listed are available for public comment at an upcoming Planning Board or Board of Commissioners meeting.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment Although the Tarin Woods III site shows to be in a non flood zone, as you can see from the attached photos taken after a storm last September, this subdivision is not capable of moving storm water in a timely rate. If the new section is added with the impervious surfaces shown, this will only serve to exacerbate the current situation and will also worsen it for new and existing homes. The first two pictures show Sand Ridge Ave at the intersection with Appomattox. The road was virtually impassable at this point. The third photo shows the retention 20 pond behind our house where it connects to Appomattox Drive and where it is overflowing its banks onto the road. The last photo shows the level of the retention pond almost reaching and overflowing its banks. Upload supporting files If you need to support your comment with documentation, upload the files here.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment My primary concerns are increased flooding in the Tarin Woods developments, increased traffic onto Carolina Beach Road at a yet to be approved access point, unwanted traffic onto a private road serving the Rosa Parks neighborhood, and using an already over-used road, Manassas, that serves Battle Park, Covington, Tarin Woods, Congleton Farms, plus others that use it as a cut through from Myrtle Grove Road to get to the Harris Teeter complex across from it. Additionally, the developers proposed increase in traffic is way low given how 26 most families make trips to work, to take care of children, to run errands, and trips south to the beach and north into Wilmington. This is about the same proposal that was turned down last spring that is just north of what was proposed. The Coastal Christian School will be impacted and it is expected that the Developer will try again to access his development from that road way. With the addition of the new Target store under construction, this development dramatically add to the already overcapacity Carolina Beach Road near Monkey Junction. No one objects to the density for which he already has permits. Upload supporting files If you need to support your comment with documentation, upload the files here.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I oppose this project because of the higher dwelling density proposed, more traffic problems onto Carolina Beach Road and flooding concerns. The developer who is proposing this density change is the same developer who has been rejected in the past. For instance, at the May 1 2023 Commissioners meeting the developer’s proposal was rejected 4-1. The proposal at this meeting was for 338 dwellings which he reduced at the meeting to 304. Now he is proposing 444 dwellings over a 32 smaller area than in 2023. The additional traffic produced by 444 dwellings would inject more traffic onto Carolina Beach Road which already seems to be overcrowded. I would assume if the 2023 proposal was rejected by the Commissioners board then this 2025 proposal would also be rejected since it has even higher density. The attached pictures are from Tropical Cyclone 8 which hit our area on September 16 2024. A common path behind our house was flooded and a nearby common area was flooded. Note the water was very very close to two electrical transformers (the green boxes). I would be concerned that if water seeped into the transformer it could have caused an explosion. This new 444 dwelling proposal would eliminate many acres of pervious land and would force the rainwater into the existing Tarin Woods development. Please reject this 444 dwelling proposal.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment We moved to Tarin Woods because it has single family homes & is safe. A large scale project such as proposed will destroy the balance of the community & will endanger the people; especially children; that live here because there will be too much traffic going through the community. It will also lead to more destruction of the roads in the surrounding area. The proposal will cause flooding because the water will buildup on the concrete instead of going into the land. We had some flooding during the Unnamed cyclone that hit last September 34 but the high density build will make this much worse. There are already too many apartments being built on Carolina Beach road. Many apartments In Wilmington are vacant. We do not need more. We need affordable homes not apartments.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment As a young couple, my partner Jake and I chose Tarin Woods as the place to lay down roots and eventually start to grow our family. We were drawn to its peaceful atmosphere, the sense of community, and the promise of a safe environment for our future children. The neighborhood’s design, with its single- family homes and green spaces, offered the ideal setting for the life we envisioned. The proposed high-density development threatens to disrupt 36 this carefully cultivated environment. An increase of multi- family units would not only increase traffic congestion on roads already strained but also place additional pressure on local schools and community resources. The developer’s history of poor construction practices and inadequate infrastructure maintenance raises serious concerns about the quality and sustainability of the proposed expansion. We believe in responsible growth that respects the character of existing neighborhoods and the well-being of current residents. (Wilmington is struggling with this as a whole as we’ve seen the last few years) This proposal appears to prioritize density over community, quantity over quality. We urge the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners to consider the long-term implications and to reject the Special Use Permit for this high- density development.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment I am writing in strong opposition to the proposed addition of 444 new units—including a 50-foot-tall apartment building with 92 apartments—adjacent to our existing community. There are multiple serious concerns that must not be ignored: Safety and Overpopulation: Tripling the number of residences in this area will severely strain our already limited infrastructure. It will compromise emergency services and will absolutely impact our ability to safely evacuate during storms 38 or hurricanes, which is a critical concern for our coastal community. Developer's Track Record: The developer proposing this project has already demonstrated an inability—or unwillingness—to meet their commitments. In Tarin Woods 2, promised amenities like a pool were never delivered, and upkeep has been virtually nonexistent. We have every reason to believe these same broken promises will be repeated here. Increased Flood Risk: This project will dramatically increase impervious surfaces, which will worsen the serious flooding issues we already experience. I will be submitting photographic evidence of existing flood conditions to demonstrate how the area is already unable to handle current water runoff, let alone a massive new development. Declining Home Values: Inserting 444 new units, including a massive apartment complex, will drastically alter the character of our neighborhood. The density and the type of construction proposed will inevitably drive down property values for existing homeowners—many of whom made significant investments in their homes under the expectation of a well-maintained, low- density community. In short, this proposed development will severely degrade the safety, value, and livability of our community. I urge you to reject this project.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment This request is for additional dwelling allowance should be declined. There is a reason this allowance is in place and there is no reason this situation should allow a special consideration. This neighborhood already has significant traffic issues entering and exiting Carolina Beach Road. There have been a number of accidents at this intersection as well as a high daily load of backed up traffic. There was recently a news story on WECT about this intersection and the issues that are prevalent. 41 The neighborhood plans were originally for more single family housing and this request for high density townhomes and apartments will cause significant issues in the rest of the neighborhood. This is one of the most popular family neighborhoods in the area and is full of kids playing outside. Increased traffic coming through everyday will cause risks to kids that are outside playing, biking, etc. It is clear that the developer has no concern for the residents of this neighborhood and is only concerned with maximizing their profit at the expense of the current homeowners.

PB Meeting - S25-02 – Tarin Woods Additional Dwelling Allowance What is the nature of your comment? Oppose project Public Comment Dear planning board, I ask you to please thoroughly consider the increased traffic the proposed project would bring, both to our neighborhood and the surrounding area. There have been several new developments in the immediate vicinity. Target is also going to bring an enormous amount of increased traffic to the area. In the event of an emergency Carolina beach road is so congested residents will not be able to leave the area. Please also consider overcrowding of our schools. The kindergarteners at Bellamy elementary school already have 43 class in trailers. The residents of Tarin woods fully support the building of single family homes, or maybe even a mix of single family homes and well thought out townhouses, but to add apartments to this area seems like nothing but greed, and does not take into consideration the lives and safety of the people already living here.
