foundation plantings. Per the approved SUP plan, the primary street yard was to be applied along
Holland Drive and secondary street yard was to be applied along Alex Trask Drive.

a. Please show and label the sight triangles on the landscape and site plan.
b. Please show and label the setbacks on the site plan.

the North Carolina Grid System.
2. Parking:
a. Please verify all Parking Dimensions per Section 5.1.4.B
i. Please be aware that the drive isles are larger than the UDO requires. To save on
impervious, you may consider reducing the drive isle widths.
3. Landscape Plan:
i. It appears that an additional tree may be required in a couple of the interior
parking landscaped areas. Per Section 5.4.5.C, one planted or existing tree shall
be required for every 144 square feet rounded to the next lowest whole number
of total interior landscaped area, with a minimum of one tree in each island.

right-of-way or property with vegetative, berms, fencing, walls, and/or any
combination thereof to a height of at least eight feet. Please provide a detail of the
proposed screening.
ii. Please show the proposed locations for the HVAC systems. Screening may be
required from view from the property line of an existing residential use by means
of a 100 percent opaque solid wall.
iii. Please be aware that the proposed loading berth shall be shielded from view from
the property line of an existing residential use by means of a 100 percent opaque
solid wall per Section 5.4.4.
1. Please show a detail of the proposed loading berth screening wall.
4. Tree Retention:

proportionate area disturbed.
i. Please note that required landscaping for the project can be credited to meet this
requirement.
b. Please be aware that there are new tree retention requirements with the UDO that have
updated the classifications of regulated trees. Please see Section 5.3.4 for more specifics.
In addition, trees preserved on the site may be credited toward mitigation.
c. Please be aware that a Tree Removal Permit is required prior to any land disturbance
activities. Please provide the specific species (Loblolly Pine, Long Leaf Pine, etc.) of the
trees to be removed or retained to determine required mitigation.
d. Please see the attached tree mitigation worksheet to help determine and verify required
mitigation.
5. Please be aware that no building permit will be issued until NCDOT has issued the Driveway Permit
approval.
6. Before the building permit can be issued, documentation must be provided to illustrate that street
lighting, all exterior lighting, and indoor lighting visible from outside shall be designed and located
so that the maximum illumination measured in foot candles at ground level at lot lines abutting R-
15 parcels do not surpass 0.5.

(It is highly recommended that a pre-construction survey be conducted however a pre-
construction survey is not required).
3. An automatic sprinkler system is required - a fire hydrant shall be within 100ft of the FDC
4. Provide proposed FDC and hydrant location on the drawing
5. All fire hydrants are to follow CFPUA design requirements and must be equipped with a 5in. Storz

1. A land disturbing permit and a stormwater system authority to construct is required for this
project. Please submit for permits as the design is completed.
2. The proposed site circulation road appears to include a combination of catch and spill curb. To
avoid grading contractor confusion, please indicate all transitions between spill and catch curb on
the future permit plans.
3. There appears to be offsite drainage from the west that may become cutoff from overland sheet
flow and the proposed building could result in ponding along the NW side of the building. Any
offsite drainage routed through or around the site will need a drainage easement to assist with
the mission of new Stormwater Services department starting in July.

system and well will be needed, construction may not begin on these lots until the owners or
his/her representatives obtain Environmental Health Permits (which may include the following:
improvement (septic) permits, well permits AND authorization to construct for on-site

1. NHC Landfill - Redevelopment of the Convenience Center - 5210 N US Hwy. 421
2. I conducted a site visit of the complex on 4-7-21. Everything looks in compliance with the fire
code.
3. The only question or thought I have is that the Yard hydrant(s) have a threaded connection with
National Standard Threaded connection (2.5). Maybe a wye set-up could be used, one for the
water truck and one for the Fire Service.

NHC Engineering (Stormwater), Galen Jamison 910-798-7142
1. A land disturbing permit from the State will be required for this project.
2. As the design is completed, submit all pipe and energy dissipater calculations as well as associated
drainage area maps for review to NHC Engineering.
3. Can the width of flat area adjacent the edge of pavement be reduced in order to avoid the 2.5:1
side slopes?
4. The storm flow from ST-01 requires a change in flow path of more than 180 degree, can this be
avoided?
5. The contours from the facility exit (customer only) driveway stop at the edge of pavement and
the top 5’ of existing stockpiles are removed. Therefore, it’s difficult to determine if vehicular
movements are feasible at the new driveway.
6. Is 1 retaining wall pipe drain outfall adequate?
7. What are the impacts of removing the pond’s forebay/percolation basin have on the NPDES
permit?
8. Is there adequate room in ST-15 sidewalls to handle a 24” and 15” pipe?
