Subject: Legacy Landing Phase 2- Preliminary Plan TRC Review
The following comments have been received for the June 18, 2025, TRC meeting. 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 items below must be resubmitted before receiving preliminary plan approval.
Planning, Ryan Beil 910-798-7444
1. General Comments
a. Currently Conditionally Zoned R-10, housing type proposed are single-family detached and single-family attached.
b. Phase II is a performance subdivision.
i. Density for Performance Residential: 3.1 dwelling units per acre within R-10 in a
Performance Residential Subdivision.
ii. There are no Class IV soils or wetlands on the property. iii. Density calculations:
1. Total site acreage = 7.65 acres
2. R-10 Zoning District allows maximum 3.1 dwelling units per acre under performance residential subdivision.
3. Developable site acreage (7.65) * zoning density (3.1) = 24 units
c. As this project was part of a conditional rezoning, the conditions on the site are as follows: i. A six foot tall solid wood privacy fence shall be installed along the eastern boundary
of 1716 Rockhill Road also identified as New Hanover County Tax Parcel
ID R02500-003-102-000
ii. The permitted density range is 0 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 3.1 dwelling units per acre. Planning staff is authorized to administratively approve reductions in density
within the permitted range.
iii. The housing types in the development shall be limited to detached single-family dwellings and dual unit attached dwellings as defined in Section 2.3 of the Unified Development
Ordinance.
d. Staff recommend including the location of traffic calming devices on the preliminary plans. Installation of traffic calming devices are not required, but including potential locations
on the plan ensures the future HOA / owners will have the opportunity to install them without conducting a traffic study.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading
a. Per table 5.1.2.A in the County UDO, there are 2 off street parking spots required for each dwelling, which the site plan shows meaning the requirement is met.
3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity
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.
Submittal has been made to NCDOT for Driveway 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.
Are any trees planned to be removed for this project? If so, please apply for a Tree Removal Permit: https://www.nhcgov.com/DocumentCenter/View/1239/Tree-Removal- Permit-PDF
Trees to be removed are shown on Sheet C2. Tree removal permit application is enclosed.
5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering
a. Landscaping and buffering are only required for the amenity areas, however a listed condition from this conditional rezoning requires a six foot tall solid wood privacy fence shall
be installed along the eastern boundary of 1716 Rockhill Road also identified as New Hanover County Tax Parcel ID R02500-003-102-000.
b. Please show the location of the fence on the site plan to ensure the condition is met.
Fence is not in the signed conditional rezoning agreement.
6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting
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 streetlights however a lighting plan is required
for any amenity area, if any lighting is planned there.
No amenity area is proposed.
7. UDO Section 5.6, Signs
There appears to be an area of open space near the entrance, please confirm if this will be where the sign is placed.
Yes, sign will be located in the open space area near the entrance.
8. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources
a. Per the New Hanover County Conservation Resource Map there are no Conservation
Resources present on this property.
9. UDO Section 5.8, Open Space Requirements
a. There is .967 of an acre, or 42,129 square feet, of open space provided. The open space requirement from our UDO in performance residential development is 20% of acreage, which
in this circumstance would equate to 24,219 square feet or .56 acres, meaning the open space requirement has been met.
10. UDO Article 6, Subdivision Design and Improvements.
a. R-10 developments require sidewalks with a 5’ minimum width, please label them sidewalks on the site plan.
5’ sidewalk has been added and labeled.

FROM: Dru Harrison, Director
RE:
I HAVE REVIEWED THIS PLAN AS REQUESTED AND HAVE THESE COMMENTS: The soils are predominantly Lynchburg fine sandy loam (Ls), Onslow loamy fine sand (On), and Woodington fine sandy loam
(Wo).
According to the booklet, “Wilmington/New Hanover Classification of soils for Septic Tank
Suitability Lynchburg, Onslow, and Woodington are Class II soils.
The Soil Survey of New Hanover County lists Lynchburg, Onslow as somewhat poorly drained, and Woodington as poorly drained.
Woodington is on the New Hanover County Hydric Soils A list which means they are possibly wetland areas and subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act. Lynchburg is on the Hydric
Soils B list, which means it may contain areas of wetland. It should be noted, according to the Soil Survey of New Hanover County, the limitation for dwellings with or without basements
and for small commercial buildings is severe for all of the soils on this site. The limitations are due to flooding and/or wetness. An adequate drainage and maintenance plan is needed
for suitable housing.
Stormwater management plan is under review.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has federal jurisdiction over 404 Permits and the NCDEHNR, Dept. of Water Quality, has state jurisdiction over 401 Permits under the Clean Water Act.
Before disturbing possible wetland areas, developers should contact these agencies to stay in compliance with State and Federal regulations.
No wetlands exist on site.
