Planning:
Comment: The zoning is split between CZD B-2 and CZD RMF-L, and the housing type proposed is row-style single-
family attached.
Response: Acknowledged
Comment: Please include the updated conditions from Z23-04M on the site plan. I see the existing conditions from
Z23-04 on page 5 of the Site Plan, but not the most recent conditions from the Modification of the
rezoning
Response: Updated conditions have modified on sheet 5.
Comment: 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.
Response: No Traffic calming devices are being proposed..
Comment: For the CZD B-2 section, .5 spaces required per 1000 sq ft. 36 x .5 =18 spots required, appears to be 19
spots provided in this section, please confirm.
Response: 18 Spots are provided.
Comment: 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.
Response: Acknowledged, Driveway permit has been obtained.
Comment: Landscaping and buffering are only required for the amenity areas. Additionally, as listed in condition 5,
the buffer yard between the new residential structures and the adjacent residential structures shall be
no less than 20 feet
Response: Acknowledged, revised LP to shown fencing and buffer around perimeter.
Comment: A transitional buffer is also required along the northern perimeter where the property abuts single
family residential housing
Response: Acknowledged, revised LP to shown fencing and buffer around perimeter.
Comment: 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
Response: Acknowledged, will submit a lighting plan once Amenity area is submitted for review.
Comment: I see the location of a freestanding sign at the Southern Charm Drive intersection with Carolina Beach
Road. If the sign is along a DOT maintained road or near an intersection with a DOT road (including the
driveway access). They need to show the required DOT sight triangles on the plan and the sign location
must be outside the sight triangles
Response: Southern Charm sign is not part of our development.
Comment: For any signs on the site, a separate sign permit must be submitted and reviewed by the county for
compliance with Section 5.6 of the UDO for standards at or after the submittal of the separate zoning
compliance and construction permits for the primary building or use.
Response: Acknowledged.
