1. Please add all setback lines and the density fringe area. The property line along Belle
Meade Village is subject to increased setbacks and density limitations in accordance with
Section 72-43 (5)(B).
2. Bufferyards must be installed in accordance with Section 62. The bufferyards are required
along any property line that adjoin a residential use or zoning district. No buildings are
permitted within the bufferyards (garages).
3. A text amendment application must be submitted in order to allow for the buildings to be
40’ in height.
4. Please label the use of the structure within the recreation area.
5. Please provide the status of Sikes Drive in regards to acceptance into Wilmington’s
maintenance system. The current SUP for the property restricts the access to Sikes Drive until
the construction of the project has been completed.
6. Please extend the interior sidewalks to connect to the sidewalks along Sikes Drive and to
the potential sidewalk/multi-use along Carolina Beach Road.
7. Possible conditions of the SUP:

1. Land disturbing and stormwater permits required.
2. LD fees to be paid prior to C/O.
3. Pond needs to be in a drainage easement/common area.
4. 10’ access berm required around pond. Needs to remain free of obstructions, including
landscaping.
5. Additional topo information is required to confirm pond has a viable outlet to carry water
offsite.
6. If existing topography of the lot lends to the site draining at multiple points (basins), the
stormwater design needs to make sure that the concentrated outlet at the pond does not
exceed what the site’s original runoff was for that one basin. Each basin needs to meet
pre/post requirements to satisfy the stormwater ordinance.
7. Roadway typical and public/private designation not provided.
8. City limits adjacent to project should be labeled.

inventory/survey, grading and drainage, demolition, landscaping and site details sheets.

Please consider shifting the garage parking further into the site, to allow vehicles to enter
and exit the site safely.

parking area, parking dimensions, street corner radius, sidewalk width, etc.
4. A minimum R25 for street corner radius and radius on landscape islands must be maintained

1. Utility Plan review required by CFPUA.

New Hanover Soil & Water, Dru Harrison
I HAVE REVIEWED THIS PLAN AS REQUESTED AND HAVE THESE COMMENTS: The soils are), Kureb
sand (Kr), Leon sand (Le), Lynn Haven fine sand (Ly), and Seagate fine sand (Se).
According to the booklet, , “Wilmington/New Hanover Classification of soils for Septic Tank
Suitability, Kureb, is Class I soil, Seagate is a Class II soil, Leon, and Lynn Haven is Class III soil.
The Soil Survey of New Hanover County lists Kureb and Rimini as excessively well drained Leon
and Lynn Haven as poorly drained, and Seagate as somewhat poorly drained.
Leon and Lynn Haven, are 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. Kureb Sand Seagate
are 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.
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.
We encourage you to incorporate Low Impact Development Strategies, such as stormwater
wetlands, as outlined in the New Hanover County/City of Wilmington LID manual. You can access
the manual online by visiting the NHC Planning Department’s website and clicking on the Low Impact
Development tab.

NCDOT Driveway Permit is not required. The proposed driveways are served internally.

within NCDOT right-of-way. Exceptions granted for short side taps that will require no
