Planning Staff Observations
Road inter-connectivity may be an issue connecting private & public roads in the
future. Staff recommends that most of the roads be designated public to mitigate
the issue.
No obstructions or gates should be considered in order to enhance timely public
service delivery
If private roads are considered, typical road cross-sections should be used per the
County Subdivision Ordinance
According to County E-911, the proposed street name Olde Bay Circle is similar
to Old Baymeade. Smith Creek Drive may also conflict with Smith Creek Village.
2:30 p.m. Item 2: Middle Sound Village (Exceptional Design Zoning District -
EDZD - Site Plan) – Request by Green Hawk Corporation for TRC to
consider a 45 residential unit project located near the 600 block of Middle

Middle Sound Village Site Plan History
In August, 2010, the Board of New Hanover County Commissioners approved the
rezoning of 9.93 acres from R-15 Residential to Exceptional Design Zoning District
(EDZD) with a condition of no more than 47 units as displayed on the conceptual site
plan. A rezoning extension request was granted by the TRC in July, 2012 for a period of
eighteen (18) months. In accordance with Section 54.1-9 of the County’s Zoning
Ordinance, once an EDZD area has been established, no building permit shall be issued
until the TRC and the Planning and Inspections Director have approved final plans for the
development. The final plan shall constitute the equivalent of a preliminary plan approval
under the New Hanover County Subdivision Ordinance. Upon approval of final plans and
reports, building permits shall be issued.
