I conducted a site visit this am along with a plan review. Comments include:
1. Install all applicable NFPA 704 signage for pool chemical rooms.
2. 2. A Section 510 study is required for Emergency responder Radio Coverage.
3. Please follow the guidelines as set forth in the 2018 NC Fire Code Appendix J for Building
Information Signage.
NHC Engineering, Galen Jamison 910-798-7072
1. Although the project appears to disturb less than one acre, the proposed site is within an
existing grading permit and will therefore be required to obtain an erosion control permit.

2. The impervious summary table and demo/site plans indicates the removal of only 14,000
sf of impervious. The net increase in impervious area will need to meet the requirements
for pre and post development flowrate requirements for the 2, 10, and 25 year storm
event. A Stormwater System Authorization to Construct (ATC) will be required for this
project. Please submit for an ATC as the design is completed.
Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, Bernice Johnson 910-332-6620
1. CFPUA water and sewer available, property currently connected to CFPUA water and
sewer.
2. CFPUA Meter Sizing Form will be required. The results of the Meter Sizing Form will
determine if CFPUA plan review will be required.
Environmental Health, Marie Hemmen 910-798-6664
1. CFPUA water and sewer available; property currently connected to CFPUA water and
sewer.
Environmental Health FLI Review, Andrea Thomas
Future amenities, which could consist of public swimming pool/spas/pods, will be required to submit
detailed plans, applications and equipment specification sheets for plan review and approval
before construction. Approval of the pool will be necessary before approval of all related
structures, which may include buildings housing bathrooms, pool equipment room, pool chemical
storage, pool decking and enclosure (fence/gates).
Please plan accordingly when submitting for permits in order to reduce delays due to non-submittals
for the pool.
Please see the following website for applications and forms which are required in the submittal
process-

there appears to be little remote sensing data to suggest much in the way of wetlands or
streams.
