Subject: Alton Orchards- Preliminary Plan TRC Review
Technical Review Committee (TRC) General Information
The TRC is a staff-level group of local government officials that reviews projects for compliance with
the local regulations administered by each respective review agency. Voluntarily participating state
agencies may also provide comments. And general information and non-binding recommendations
about the site may also be provided by government agencies.
The TRC meetings are considered staff meetings and are not public hearings. The TRC meeting is an
opportunity for applicants to speak with county staff and any voluntarily participating state or
federal agencies about the review comments they have been provided.
No voting is involved in the TRC process, and no final approvals or denials are made at the TRC
meetings. Following the TRC meeting, applicants are responsible for updating their plans to address
review comments. Those revised plans need to be resubmitted to the assigned case planner. The
case planner will facilitate additional reviews until all comments have been addressed, and the
necessary departments have stated the plans comply with the applicable minimum requirements
for development.
Following any future TRC approval, the project is required to obtain additional permits to include a
zoning compliance permit for the site. Applicants are also responsible for coordinating with state
and federal agencies for compliance with any additional requirements. Any activity on the property
that is not approved as part of the TRC review and zoning compliance permit will be considered a
violation of the UDO and subject to enforcement action under Article 12 Violations and
Enforcement.

a. Zoning district – R-15
b. Housing type: Single family residential – detached with 51 dwelling units
c. Performance subdivision.
i. Density for Performance Residential: R-15 allows a maximum density of 2.5
dwelling units per acre under performance residential. 20.45 acres x 2.5 =
51.125
d. Site plan stated that no traffic calming devices are proposed
e. The boundary is shown as 25’ when only 20’ is required.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading
a. Single family homes are required to have two parking spaces.
3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity
a. The right of way width is correct at 45’, however travel way must be 24’ minimum.
Please confirm the width of the road.
b. 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. Tree data received, thank you. Please be aware that for single family developments
that tree removal permits are only required for areas of required infrastructure.
b. Please clarify why trees are being removed south of the amenity center and around
the retention pond, please see attached clouded site plan for areas in question.
c. Trees being retained on individual lots cannot be counted towards mitigation. Are
these trees intended to remain in perpetuity, otherwise they will need to be
guaranteed in the HOA docs.

Alton Orchards – Major Subdivision – TRC Review
Page | 5
1. A County stormwater and land disturbing 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-Permitting and
https://www.nhcgov.com/249/Sediment-Erosion-Controlhowever.
2. Please contact the State for their stormwater permit requirements. It is anticipated a high
density permit will be required.
3. The offsite stormwater drainage coming from the northwest will require a public drainage
easement sized in accordance with NHC Stormwater Manual. If any construction in the
offsite drainage conveyance measures easements 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. Please add a plan note to
ensure county construction observation and a turnover meeting occurs. Note, should the
applicant elect to maintain the ditch themselves, the POA covenants shall indicate the
operation and maintenance roles and responsibilities.
NHC Environmental Health, Dustin Fenske 910-798-6732
Septic tanks and wells
1. Site plan shows connection to public water and sewer. Proposed infrastructure does not
violate setbacks to any surrounding properties' well or septic systems. Proposed amenity
center will need to submit public swimming pool plans to NHC Environmental Health for
