Subject: Sea Lilly – Preliminary Plan – Conventional Residential Development – TRC Review
The following comments have been received for the April 8, 2020 TRC meeting.
Please note: Strikethrough comments are satisfactory and Staff comments are shown in BLUE below.
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, Gideon Smith 910-798-7571
1. Will this subdivision be incorporated into the existing Inlet Point Harbor performance residential
subdivision, or will this be a standalone subdivision?
2. Please update the plan with the following general corrections:
a. Please modify the Title Block to reflect that this is a Conventional Residential Development.
b. Please revise Development Note 1 to reference the New Hanover County Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO).
c. Please revise Development Note 5 to reference Section 6.3.3.I of the UDO.
d. Since the Inlet Point Harbor subdivision is gated and connectivity is already limited, Staff
recommends that Sea Lilly Lane and Star Gazer Court are not dedicated as public to limit
future confusion. Please confirm if any of the other roadways within Inlet Point Harbor are
dedicated as public.
e. Please delineate the passive and active recreation space within the common area.
f. The UDO now breaks the side setbacks into an interior side setback and a street side
setback. Please note that the 10’ side setback applies to the interior property lines and the
15’ side setbacks applies to property lines adjacent to a street (Gazebo Court).
g. Please note the maximum height of the structures per Section 3.2.8.D of the UDO.
h. It appears that Murville Fine Sands, Leon Sands, and Tidal Marsh are the soil types
indicated on the soils inset. Please adjust Site Inventory Note 1 accordingly.

i. Please note that the UDO removed Conservation Overlay Districts and reclassified them as
Conservation Resources within Section 5.7. Please revise Site Inventory Note 3 and the
Inset accordingly.
j. Please note the misspelling of “Intracoastal” in Site Inventory Note 9.
3. It appears that the detail of the cul-de-sac does not meet the minimum radius for circular cul-de-
sacs. Please note that the minimum radius is 48’. Please adjust accordingly.
a. The cul-de-sac detail now shows the minimum radius of 48’ and a 50’ right-of-way and is
in compliance with the UDO. However, please ensure that the drawing is to-scale and
the right-of-way width note indicates 50’ so there is not a conflict between the two.
b. Please note that if the cul-de-sac is not 96’ in diameter, additional Fire Code
requirements may apply.
4. The Private Road Design Standards require a 22’ travelway width for cul-de-sacs and a 24’
travelway width for local roads. It appears that the private road cross-section only includes 20’ of
paved travelway, which does not meet the standards in the UDO.
a. Since Sea Lilly Lane is essentially a cul-de-sac as it ends at Lot 1, Staff will classify the road
as a cul-de-sac, allowing the travelway width to be 22’.
5. Please confirm that the 10’ wide dotted lines at the front property lines represents a utility
easement. The water/sewer detail indicates a 10’ Non-Municipal Utility Easement.
6. Please provide a letter of service from Aqua upon receipt. Please note that this is required prior to
Preliminary Plan approval.
a. Letter received April 29, 2020.
7. CAMA AEC in this area is 75' from high water. It appears all work proposed is outside of the AEC.
8. Per our discussion during the April 8, 2020 TRC meeting, a 5’ pedestrian access easement was
recommended and it has been added to the private road cross-section. Please note this along
with the Utility Easement on the drawing.
Fire Services, Troy Davidson 910-798-7464
1. Fire Services recommends the following:
a. No traffic calming devices or gates without TRC approval.
b. Appendix D103.2 Grade - Fire apparatus access roads shall not exceed 10%.
c. Existing hydrant is acceptable to service current plan.
d. In addition to the previously stated comments, if the pavement width of the cul-de-sac
is not 96’, the drawing does not show it meets these requirements:
i. Note: Dead-end fire apparatus access roads in excess of 150 feet (45 720 mm)
shall be provided with width and turnaround provisions in accordance with
Table D103.4.
