Fire Services, Ray Griswold 910-508-0234
I conducted a site visit and plan review last week. Here are County Fire concerns & observations:
1. How will the fire dept. aerial apparatus access these structures? More details will be required as
this project moves forward.
2. How will fire water flow requirements be met? What will it be for the largest structure and also
in elevation? Can CFPUA and the developer meet these requirements?
3. A fire hydrant layout shall be required. All Fire Dept. Connections shall have a fire hydrant within
100 feet of the connection(s).
4. What will the highest elevation of each building be?
5. How will CFPUA get water to this site?
6. Parking / Fire Lane / Fire Dept. access? Concerns need to be addressed as this project moves
forward.
7. Section 510 of the NC Fire Prevention Code shall be followed - Emergency Radio Coverage for
first responders.
8. Appendix J guidelines of the NC Fire Code shall be followed 10 Chapter 36 of the NC Fire Code
shall be followed when designing the Marina. Fire Dept. access is required, along with a Fire
Dept. Standpipe System. The FDC for this requires a Fire Hydrant within 100 feet of the
connection, along with Fire Apparatus access to it as well.
NHC Engineering, Galen Jamison 910-798-7072
1. A land disturbing permit issued by the County will be required. Please submit for permit as the
design is completed.
2. The development will be subject to control of the post development peak discharge rate of the
2, 10 and 25 year storm event to the pre development conditions. The size of underground
stormwater treatment vault doesn’t appear to be sized for the storm attenuation requirements.
Please submit for a stormwater permit as the design is completed.
3. This project may submit as a Low Impact Development (LID) project utilizing the approved LID
guidelines shared by the County and City of Wilmington.
http://laserfiche.nhcgov.com/weblink/0/edoc/3273331/LID-Manual.pdf. Should LID principles
be incorporated into the project, the requirements for pre and post development storm
attenuation would not be required.
4. There appears to be offsite stormwater drainage coming from the north and southeast along
the existing ditch. A public drainage easement sized in accordance with NHC Stormwater
Manual will be required for these two outfall ditches to the Cape Fear River.
Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, Bernice Johnson 910-332-6620
1. CFPUA TRC Comments provided are preliminary comments only.
2. Utility Plan review required by CFPUA. CFPUA is moving toward becoming paperless. When
ready to submit plan review package, upload all documents to
https://www.cfpua.org/FormCenter/Engineering-3/Engineering-Plan-Review-103.
3. CFPUA water and sewer available through mainline extension; and installation of forcemain and
pump station.
4. At this time capacity is available; DWQ permit application will require a Planning FTSE.
5. Capacity is also dependent on the analysis of the pipe collection system (gravity and force mains).
6. A capacity determination can be provided upon submittal of the NC DWQ FTA/FTSE Application
Form and a Preliminary Plan, this determination does not guarantee capacity.

land that will be developed. In the event that a significant tree is found, this may
warrant a variance or create a non-conforming lot situation.
b) Identify the species of trees, i.e. what type of pine? Depending on species and
measurement, a tree’s designation may change that would trigger other
requirements.
3. Tree Retention:
a) Please be aware that a Tree Removal Permit is required before the issuance of
any clearing, grading, building permits, and or other authorizations, UDO
Section 5.3.5.B.
