Subject: Heron Cove- Major - 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.

The following comments have been received for the November 5, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.
Planning, Zach Dickerson 910-798-7450
Compliance with local zoning requirements
1. General Comments
a. Zoning is Conditional R-5, tied to rezoning case Z25-06.
b. This is a performance residential subdivision.
i. Density for Performance Residential: R-5 allows a maximum density of 8
dwelling units per acre. Rezoning case Z25-06 caps the unit count at 67 units,
which is 20 less units than a maxed-out R-5 would allow.
ii. If the Class IV soils on the site (outlined below) are to be set aside as
Conservation Space, they would need to be denoted as such. Because the
density cap is set by the Conditional zoning district, they are not required to
be set aside. We are still pointing them out in the TRC comments to make the
applicant aware. No further action needs to be taken.
iii. The site plan notes Johnston Soils on the site which are considered Class IV
soils. There are approximately 32,600 square feet/.75 acres of Johnston Soils
on the site, noted in the image below. The exact square footage of these can
be determined by a soil scientist. These only need to be conserved if they are
being counted towards density.
Heron Cove – Major Subdivision – TRC Review
Page | 3
iv. Per UDO Section 3.1.D.2., Density:
1. “In calculating the density for a proposed Performance Residential
Development, the areas in subsections 1 and 2 [below] shall first be
subtracted from the gross area of land to be committed to
development. In lieu of subtracting Dorovan, Johnston, and Pamlico
soils, the developer may choose to preserve 100% of such areas as
conservation space in accordance with Section 5.7, Conservation
Resources.
a. Subsection 1: All natural lakes, ponds, rivers, or marshes; and
b. Subsection 2: All areas of Class IV soils as defined in A
Classification of Soils in New Hanover County for Septic Tank
Suitability. All calculation shall be rounded to the nearest
whole unit.
v. Density Calculations:
1. Total site acreage = 10.87 acres
2. If the Class IV soil areas are being conserved, please denote this on
the concept plan.
3. The R-5 zoning district typically allows for up to 8 dwelling units per
acre.
4. The CZD R-5 on this site as part of rezoning Z25-06 has a maximum
of 67 dwelling units on the site.
5. The application proposes 67 dwelling units. As mentioned above, this
is 20 less than could be proposed under a typical R-5. The soils are
not required to be set aside for density purposes.
c. As noted above, site was rezoned under case Z25-06. Rezoning conditions are noted
below as part of the TRC comments, and are already included on the site plan.
Thanks! Notes on the conditions in bold below.
1. The project will include emergency only access to Daniel Boone Trail.
Condition met through note of “Siren activated gate at boundary.”
2. The project will include a minimum one-car garage with each home and
ability to park two cars in the driveway of each home. This would need
to be enforced when each home comes through for building permits.
We’ll work with zoning to get a list of addresses so we can double check
in the system when permits are filed for.
Heron Cove – Major Subdivision – TRC Review
Page | 4
3. The project will provide a six-foot fence at the rear of each lot of the
development. Please show approximate line of fence location on the
preliminary plan.
4. Two trees at least 2 inches in diameter at breast height will be planted on
each lot, to be maintained by the HOA through a landscaping easement
on each lot. Tree maintenance and preservation will be included in the
covenants which are subject to county review before recording of final
plat. Please note easement on preliminary plan, to be finalized
5. The 18-inch oak tree in the middle of the internal road, around which the
road has been reconfigured, will be preserved on the site. Noted on site
plan, will be also noted in the Tree Removal Permit.
6. There will be two 10-foot in width bicycle and pedestrian access
easements in this development, connecting to Daniel Boone Trail and
Gordon Acres Drive. These don’t need to be finalized until final platting,
but would be helpful if shown on preliminary plan.
7. A public utility easement meeting the minimum standards of CFPUA for
water and sewer infrastructure shall be dedicated along the bicycle and
pedestrian easement connection to Gordon Acres Drive at the time the
final plat is recorded with the New Hanover County Register of Deeds.
Same as above.
8. Existing trees in the site’s open space that do not impact required land
grading or other improvements and future amenities as identified in the
required Tree Removal Permit will be preserved. Will be addressed in the
Tree Removal Permit.
9. Maintenance of the fence required in condition #3 above will be the
responsibility of the property owner and included in the Homeowner’s
Association Covenants, to be recorded with the final plat with the
Register of Deeds. Will be addressed in the final plat.
10. The 2025 New Hanover County Floodplain Advisory Study shall be shown
on the final plat for this development, noting on lots 7 & 59 the flood risk
as part of that study, and shall be recorded with the final plat with the
New Hanover County Register of Deeds. The plat will note that this study
is non-regulatory. Will be addressed in the final plat.

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. Single Family Dwelling Units require a minimum of two parking spaces per unit. Per
the conditions in the rezoning, there will be a minimum one car garage with ability to
park two vehicles in the driveway on each lot. This requirement will be met by this
condition.
3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity
a. 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. 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.
b. Tree survey and worksheet received. Tree Removal Permit can be found at this link:
https://www.nhcgov.com/DocumentCenter/View/1239/Tree-Removal-Permit-PDF
5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering
a. The landscaping requirement for two trees to be planted on each property and
maintained in a landscaping easement by the HOA has been included as a condition
on the site plan.
b. This maintenance/landscaping easement will be confirmed during the final plat
process.
6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting
a. 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.
Heron Cove – Major Subdivision – TRC Review

7. UDO Section 5.6, Signs
a. Please ensure the proposed entrance feature noted on the cover sheet is outside of
the 10x70’ sight triangles required by NCDOT.
b. 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.
8. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources
a. The site plan shows wetlands on the site delineated by Southern Environmental
Group, though there are no Conservation Resources noted on the site per the New
Hanover County Conservation Resource Maps.
9. UDO Section 5.8, Open Space Requirements
a. The amount of open space required for this development is 20% of the total acreage.
i. 20% of 10.87 acres = 2.17 acres of open space required
ii. Site plan notes 3.25 acres of open space provided.
10. UDO Article 6, Subdivision Design and Improvements.
a. The New Hanover County Private Roadway Design Manual requires a 45’ ROW for
roads and a minimum 24’ width travelway.
i. The road detail shows only a 20’ width travel way.
b. Sidewalks provided on both sides of the road- all good.
c. Block length is good.
d. While the links/nodes ratio does not meet the required minimum connectivity ration
of 1.4, the development is surrounded by private roads and does provide an
emergency connection to Daniel Boone Trail.
11. UDO Article 9, Flood Damage Prevention
a. This property is not located in a regulatory floodplain.
Heron Cove – Major Subdivision – TRC Review
Page | 7
b. There are parts of this property located in the Northeast Floodplain Study. While this
study is not regulatory, there is a condition required to place notice on lots 7 & 59
that they may have flooding impacts as noted in the flood study.
NHC Fire Services, David Stone 910-798-7458
Compliance with the NC Fire Code
1. A fire hydrant will need to be located at the entrance to the development and every one

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.

The following comments have been received for the November 5, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.
Planning, Zach Dickerson 910-798-7450
Compliance with local zoning requirements
1. General Comments
a. The zoning is R-15, single-family housing proposed.
b. Is this subdivision intended to be part of the Scotts Hill Village neighborhood? Or a
completely separate development?
c. This is proposed as a performance residential subdivision.
i. Density for Performance Residential: 2.5 dwelling units per acre in the R-15
zoning district.
ii. Need to show density calculations. Example:
1. Total site acreage = 20.93 acres
2. Zoning District allows maximum 2.5 dwelling units per acre under
performance residential subdivision.
3. Developable site acreage * zoning density = 52 dwelling units
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. Single-family dwelling units require a minimum of two parking spaces per unit.
b. Please note parking requirements on site plan.
3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity
a. 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. 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
Pandion Drive – Major Subdivision – TRC Review
Page | 3
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.
b. Please note that because New Hanover County does not require a Tree Removal
Permit for residential less than one acre in size, it does not require mitigation for
tree removal on future lots in residential subdivisions that are less than one acre in
size.
c. It does, however, require potential mitigation for trees located in infrastructure
areas, such as the road and stormwater pond.
d. This can be edited for the tree removal permit. Is there a numbered tree chart?
Something like this that corresponds to the tree survey itself:
5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering
a. Landscaping and buffering are only required for the amenity areas. Per this site plan
it does not appear there is a planned amenity building- please confirm.
6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting
a. 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.
7. UDO Section 5.6, Signs
a. Will there be any neighborhood entrance signs? If so, please indicate the location on
this site plan and ensure that they will not cause any visibility issues at the
intersection
b. 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.
Pandion Drive – Major Subdivision – TRC Review

8. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources
a. Per the New Hanover County Conservation Resource map, there are no
Conservation Resources on this property.
9. UDO Section 5.8, Open Space Requirements
a. Total site acreage is 20.93 acres.
b. Performance residential developments require a minimum 20% open space.
c. 20% * 20.93 = 4.19 acres of open space.
d. Site plan proposes 4.34 acres of open space, 21%.
e. Are there any planned pedestrian easements or infrastructure to the open space
behind lots 1-8? This might make the open space more accessible to residents.
10. UDO Article 6, Subdivision Design and Improvements.
a. Sidewalks noted as 5’ in width and along one side of the street, as required in R-15.
All good.
b. Are there sidewalks along this portion of Pandion Drive? If not, they will need to be
installed.
c. Block length is ok, thanks!
d. Links and nodes ratio is ok, thanks!
11. UDO Article 9, Flood Damage Prevention

https://www.nhcgov.com/249/Sediment-Erosion-Controlhowever.
2. Please contact the State for their stormwater permit requirements. It is anticipated a new
high density permit will be required.
3. Routing of the impervious drinage from Lot 52 appears to be challenging. It appears a
conveyance measure may be required to ensure the impervious is directed to the SCM.
4. This parcel qualifies for an exemption to the County’s pre and post storm attenuation
requirements should it be design in accordance with the City and County’s Low Impact
Design (LID) Manual (http://laserfiche.nhcgov.com/weblink/0/edoc/3273331/LID-Manual.pdf).
Please provide requisite documentation for compliance with LID manual and a variance
request in accordance with NHC UDO, Section 7.12 during the County stormwater permitting
process. As the subdivision is developed and impervious area added, each parcel will need
submit similar documents as part of the building permit application and it’s site plan
requirements.

Planning, Robert Farrell 910-798-7164
Compliance with local zoning requirements
1. General Comments
a. Property was rezoned to Conditional R-5 in 2023 as Z23-14. The rezoning was
approved with the following 5 conditions. Please include these conditions on one of
the preliminary plan pages:
i. The project as shown on the submitted site plan shall be developed with
water and sewer connections to a private wastewater system. Private wells
and septic systems are not allowed for residential development as
contemplated on the site plan.
ii. As identified on the site plan, certain existing trees onsite will not be
removed.
iii. The zoning approval and development contemplated therein shall not impact
the current and future lot owners of the following parcels, R08518-001-014-
004, R08518-001-015-000, and R08518-001-015-002, right to use the access
easement shown on the concept plan, nor shall the zoning approval and
development contemplated therein create any additional financial burden on
those lot owners to contribute to the cost of maintenance for the access
road.
iv. The northern terminus of the access easement shall be designated for public
use to allow potential future connection to and through adjoining parcels to
Seabreeze Road.
1. To meet condition 4, a public access easement will need to be shown
on the end of the road circled in red below. The pavement will also
need to be extended to the property boundary.
SB Cottages – Major Subdivision – TRC Review
Page | 3
v. All stormwater management areas shown on the concept plan shall be
required. Changes to the general shape of the basins as required by essential
site improvements may be accepted administratively by Planning staff.
b. Project proposes a performance residential development consisting of 47 dwelling
units in the form of 10 quadraplexes (40 units), two duplexes or dual unit attached
dwellings (4 units), and one triplex (3 units).
i. The application indicates the site is 7.39 acres with 1.63 acres identified as
marshes and 0.07 acres identified as Class IV soils that are not intended for
permanent conservation.
1. 7.39 – 1.63 – 0.07 = 5.69 acres that can be used to count towards the
density of the project.
2. The maximum density in the R-5 district is 8 dwelling units per acre.
3. 5.69 x 8 = 45.52 dwelling units. Fractional numbers 0.5 and above are
rounded up to the nearest whole number = 46 total units allowed for
the development. This matches the maximum number approved for
the conditional rezoning.
4. The proposed preliminary plan shows 47 dwelling units. 1
dwelling unit must be removed from the project
c. Staff recommend including the location of traffic calming devices on the preliminary
plans. Installation of traffic calming devices is 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.
SB Cottages – Major Subdivision – TRC Review
Page | 4
d. While the Army Corps of Engineers has not provided comments on this version of
the project yet, they may send additional comments that will be forwarded at a later
date.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading
a. The plan will need to show the location, number, and size of all parking spaces in the
development.
i. The number of parking spaces for quadraplexes and triplexes is: 1.5 parking
spaces per dwelling unit for 1-bedroom units, or 2 parking spaces per
dwelling unit for 2-bedroom units.
ii. The number of parking spaces for duplexes or dual unit attached dwellings
is: 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit.
iii. Garages may count towards the number of parking spaces however, the plan
must indicate which units will have garages. However, if the plan indicates a
garage will be provided and the future building permit application does not
include a garage, the permit may be held until either the preliminary plan is
updated or the building plans are updated to ensure compliance.
3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity
a. 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. 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.
b. The preliminary plan appears to indicate compliance with the condition to preserve
existing specimen and significant trees on site identified during the rezoning
process.
c. Several of the trees appear to be in the road right-of-way. While not prohibited, staff
cautions that roadway or utility work in the right-of-way may damage the roots of the
tree.
d. A separate tree removal permit application is required before any documented trees
may be removed from the site.
SB Cottages – Major Subdivision – TRC Review
Page | 5
5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering
a. Landscaping and buffering are only required for the amenity areas in residential
developments. The site does not include an amenity area, therefore the landscaping
standards do not apply.
6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting
a. 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.
7. UDO Section 5.6, Signs
a. Will the development have an entrance sign for the subdivision?
b. If so, the plan needs to include the location of the sign.
c. If the sign is along a DOT maintained road or near an intersection with a DOT road
(including the driveway access). The sign must be outside the DOT sight triangles.
d. 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.
8. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources
a. Section 5.7 does not apply to the project.
b. The Conservation Resources map indicates portions of the site may have pocosin
conservation resources. However, the soil map indicates there are no Class IV soils
on site. Pocosin conservation resources must be underlaid by Class IV soils to trigger
additional ordinance requirements.
9. UDO Section 5.8, Open Space Requirements
a. Project is proposing a performance residential development which requires a
minimum 20% open space.
b. The draft preliminary plan shows areas for stormwater and land around the
proposed homes but does not specifically label or show the areas for open space.
c. The plan will need to include the open space acreage in the site notes and label the
open space areas on the preliminary plan.
SB Cottages – Major Subdivision – TRC Review
Page | 6
10. UDO Article 6, Subdivision Design and Improvements.
a. Section 6.3.3.J.1.d requires sidewalks on both sides of the street for residential
developments in the R-5 district. Preliminary plan does not show sidewalks as part of
the plan.
i. Prior discussions with the developer has indicated an intention to request an
exemption from the sidewalk requirement under Section 6.3.3.J.2 which
states “The TRC may exempt sidewalk installation in specific cases upon
finding that sidewalks are unnecessary for the protection of the public safety
or welfare due to conditions peculiar to the site.”
ii. Is it the intention to request an exemption from the sidewalk requirement?
And if so, please provide a statement regarding the specific conditions of the
site that may warrant the exemption.
b. The preliminary plan meets the block length requirement.
c. Section 6.2.2.A.6.g Street Connectivity Standards requires a minimum link to node
ratio of 1.40. The proposed project has 11 links and 7 nodes for a ratio of 1.57.
d. The pavement and right-of-way for the two roads terminating to the north of the site
need to be extended to the property line.
e. Make sure to specify whether the rights-of-way as public or private.
f. The plan shows the majority of the roads with a 40 foot right-of-way width. A portion
is as narrow as 33.15 feet. The minimum width for private local roads is 45 feet wide.
11. UDO Article 9, Flood Damage Prevention
a. A small portion of the site is in the floodplain. The site plan shows no development is
proposed in the floodplain area. A floodplain development permit is not required.
However, if any clearing, grading, fill, or other work is proposed in the floodplain, a
floodplain development permit is required.
b. Please confirm if any work is proposed in the floodplain?

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.
The following comments have been received for the November 5th, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.

The plan submitted to New Hanover County shows a right turn lane (extension) into the
site while the plans submitted to NCDOT show a standard driveway connection within
the merge taper.
• One of the plans sets should be revised/removed.
Site Plan Comments:
Drainage/Stormwater Conveyance:
• If the drainage does not naturally flow to the NCDOT right of way the historic
drainage pattern should be maintained.
NCDOT Standard Drawings:
• Include/update the NCDOT Standard Drawings (2024) that are applicable to the
development.
Sight Triangles and Sight Distance:
• Show and label the 10’ X 70’ NCDOT sight triangles.
o No obstructions shall be placed within the NCDOT sight triangles.
• Show and label the stopping sight distance.
o No obstructions shall be placed within the stopping sight distance.
Identification Signing and Landscaping:
• Identification signing or landscape vegetation within the median and the sight
distance triangle must not obstruct the driver’s line of sight. No landscaping or
signing will be allowed to exceed 42 inches in height, measured from the Edge of
Pavement (EOP) within the median or sight triangle.
• All pylon signs in the median or sight distance triangle must provide a vertical
clear sight zone between 3 feet-6 inches and 10 feet-0 inches measured from the
EOP. Signing located within a clear recovery area shall be of a “breakaway
design.”
• Only low growing shrubbery, consistent with the NCDOT’s landscaping policies,
as contained in the publication “Guidelines for Planting Within Highway Right of
Way,” will be allowed within a landscaped median and the sight distance triangle

PID#: R03200-002-035-000
Egov# SITECN-24-000102
Subject: 3305 Fredrickson Road– Commercial Flex Space - 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.
The following comments have been received for the November 5, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.

Compliance with local UDO requirements
1. General Comments
a. Zoning district – I-2
b. This project is not associated with a rezoning.
c. As stated in the application the intended use is commercial flex space. The applicant
confirmed that the intended UDO defined use to be Offices for Private Business and
Professional Activities. The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) defines the use as
i. Establishments primarily engaged in the day-to-day administrative or clerical
services for businesses or other organizations that provide professional or
other services to the general public on a walk-in or appointment basis in an
office setting.
d. The Planning and Land Use Department’s review of the site is for compliance with the
UDO and use specific requirements of the specified land use. Any other activity that
might occur on the property beyond the definition above should be noted on the
application and site plan for additional review and comment.
e. There does not appear to be any Duke Energy Transmission Lines/Easement on the
Property.
f. Under site data, it states one building consisting of 9,600 sq ft. There appears to be
two separate buildings. Please show the total square footage of each building.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading
a. The use of Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities requires 2.5 parking
spaces for every 1,000 square feet of building area. Project proposes 9,600 square
feet. Required parking is 9,600 / 1,000 = 9.6 x 2.5 = 24 required parking spaces.
However, the plan is reflecting only 13 spaces.
b. Per UDO Section 5.1.3.A you may submit a parking demand study to reduce the
amount of spaces.
3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity
a. 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.
b. Please add the WMPO’s estimated AM and PM traffic generation on the site plan.
3305 Fredrickson Road– Commercial Flex Space – TRC Review
Page | 3
4. UDO Section 5.3, Tree Retention
a. The site is currently cleared and the plan states there will be no tree removal.
b. 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.
5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering
a. A minimum of 15 trees of at least two inches DBH or two caliper inches, as applicable,
shall be retained or planted on a parcel where development occurs for each acre or
proportionate area disturbed by the development. 15 trees x 0.79 acre = 11.85 (12)
trees. The plan exceeds this requirement.
b. A landscaped buffer is not required between I-2 zoned properties.
c. The dumpster is adequately screened.
d. Parking lot landscaping was not included in the landscape data – please add this. See
Table 5.4.5.C: Standards for Parking Lot Interiors. Please note that the parking lot
interior landscaping is 8% of the total area used for parking,
6. UDO Section 5.5, Lighting
a. Please note that a lighting plan is not required for TRC approval but will be required
prior to issuance of construction plan approvals.
b. Is any lighting proposed for the site?
7. UDO Section 5.6, Signs
a. Are any free-standing signs proposed for the property? If so, please indicate the
location.
b. 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. Any approvals granted by the TRC for the site design is not an approval
for the ultimate size or placement of the sign.
8. UDO Section 5.7, Conservation Resources
a. The conservation resources map does not indicate any conservation resources
impacting the property, this section does not apply.

https://www.nhcgov.com/249/Sediment-Erosion-Controlhowever.
2. Please contact the State for their stormwater permit requirements. It is anticipated a new
high density permit will be required.
NHC Environmental Health, Dustin Fenske 910-798-6732
Septic tanks and wells
1. Site plan reflects connection to public water. Proposed infrastructure does not violate
setbacks to surrounding properties wells.
2. Application states a private septic system for this site. Design wastewater flow is very specific
to what type of business occupies a space. This flow determines how large a septic system is
needed. With many unknowns, it is suggested that the applicant consults with a Licensed Soil
Scientist to discuss wastewater flow, business needs and available soil areas for subsurface
disposal. Permitting can be done by local Environmental Health or a Private Soil Scientist.
Septic permits must be issued prior to any building permit being issued.

Date: November 5, 2025 Technical Review Committee (TRC)
PID#: R03400-001-028-000
Egov# SITECN-25-000103
Subject: 3008 N Kerr Ave – Flex Space - 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.

The following comments have been received for the November 5, 2025, TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.
Planning, Katherine May 910-798-7443
Compliance with local UDO requirements
1. General Comments
a. Zoning district – I-2, Heavy Industrial
b. The project is not associated with a rezoning but previously received site plan approval
on March 11, 2021. Due to the lapse in time from the previous approval, the project
must be reviewed again.
c. As stated in the application the intended use is warehousing. The Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO) defines the use as
i. The storing of goods, wares, and merchandise within an enclosed building,
whether for the owners or others. There is little on-site sales activity with the
customer present. Uses include: cold storage facilities (including frozen food
lockers); distribution warehouses (used primarily for temporary storage
pending distribution in response to customer orders); storage warehouses
(used for storage by retail stores such as furniture and appliance stores);
warehouse storerooms; or similar uses.
d. The Planning and Land Use Department’s review of the site is for compliance with the
UDO and use specific requirements of the specified land use. Any other activity that
might occur on the property beyond the definition above should be noted on the
application and site plan for additional review and comment.
e. There does not appear to be Duke Energy Transmission Lines/Easement on the
Property.
2. UDO Section 5.1, Parking and Loading
a. Warehousing requires 1.5 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of building area.
Project proposes 7,070 square feet. Required parking is 7,070 / 1,000 = 7.07 x 1.5 =
10.6 required parking spaces. The site plan shows 17 spaces which meets the
minimum required parking.
b. Location of the loading area is missing. Please see 5.1.5.B for the dimensional
standards.
3008 N Kerr Ave – Flex Space – TRC Review
Page | 3
3. UDO Section 5.2, Traffic, Access and Connectivity
a. 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.
b. Include the WMPO’s estimated AM and PM traffic generation. If either AM or PM peak
hour exceeds 100 trips, state a TIA is required.
4. UDO Section 5.3, Tree Retention
a. The site looks to be cleared, please confirm that no trees will be removed.
b. 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.
5. UDO Section 5.4, Landscaping and Buffering
a. The project is surrounded by commercial zoning, so no buffers are required.
b. Dumpsters and loading areas must be screened out of view of any public right-of-way.
The plan shows the dumpster is sufficiently screened and the details are included on
page C-7.1.
c. Per table 5.4.5.C: Standards for Parking Lot Interiors
a. Landscaped areas in the interior of parking lots shall be equal to eight percent
of the total area to be used for parking, loading, automobile sales, driveways,
internal drive aisles, and other vehicular or pedestrian use.
b. The landscaped islands meet minimum length requirements
c. At least 75 percent of trees required for interior landscaping shall be of a
shade/canopy species. This requirement has been met.
d. Table 5.4.6.B: Street Yard Area Standards
a. For the I-2 district, 25 square feet for every linear foot of street yard frontage
is required with a minimum of 12.5 feet and a maximum of 37.5 feet. This
requirement has been met.
b. For every 600 square feet of street yard area on average, the following
landscaping shall be provided: One canopy/shade tree or if overhead power

b. 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. Any approvals granted by the TRC for the site design is not an approval
for the ultimate size or placement of the sign.
