RE: Neighborhood Meeting Summary
Tractor Supply Co., Castle Hayne Rd.
Paramounte Engineering, Inc. (PEI) held a neighborhood meeting on Monday, December 12, 2022,
from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the proposed project site, 3400 Castle Hayne Rd., Castle Hayne, NC
28429.
Invitations to attend the community meeting with official notice summarizing the proposed
development, including a reduced size color copy of the proposed site plan, were mailed to all
adjacent property owners with 500’ of the property and to the county planning department on
December 1, 2022.
As publicly noticed, the proposed project would consist of a retail store, garden center, outdoor
display areas and associated parking and require a Conditional Rezoning from R-20 to B-1. The
proposed project site encompasses five (5) properties totaling approximately 11.5 acres fronting
Castle Hayne Road at Gladiolus Road, identified as New Hanover County parcel numbers R02500-
002-009-003, R02500-002-021-000, R02500-002-022-000, R02500-002-020-000, and R02500-002-
009-000.
The meeting was attended by (10) persons, please refer to the attached sign in sheet. Paramounte
Engineering began the meeting with an overview of the proposed project, using rendered plans and
aerial photographs and to demonstrate the proposed development and its relationship to the
surrounding community. After the introduction of the project, the meeting was opened to discussion
and questions from the attendees. Comments and questions are summarized below:
1. What is the location of proposed pond and outfall?
PEI Response: The site plan shows an approximate size and location for the proposed
stormwater pond for reference. The exact location, size and outfall for the proposed
pond will be determined upon final engineering.
2. Where is the proposed project entry driveway?
PEI Response: The proposed project entry driveway is located off Castle Hayne Rd.,
approximately 235’ O.C. and north of Gladiolus Rd. There would not be access to the
proposed store from Gladiolus Rd. Preliminary conversations with NCDOT suggest that a
right-turn lane on Castle Hayne Rd. will be required into the project, and a driveway
permit from NCDOT will be required.
3. Will the project be on public sewer and water?
PEI Response: Yes. The project will connect to existing water and sewer force main
located in Castle Hayne Rd.

4. There was a question about the current property ownership and the rumored sale of the
property to another party (not the project applicant), which was outside the knowledge of
PEI.
5. Several attendees asked if a traffic light would be installed at Chair Rd. by NCDOT? PEI did
not have information about a proposed traffic light at this intersection, which is not
immediately fronting the proposed project site. The attendees understood that a traffic light
is not a part of this project’s scope of work.
6. One attendee asked about potential jobs for the community at the proposed development.
7. There was no one in attendance that vocally objected to the project when asked. Several of
the attendees voiced support for the project, knowing that Castle Hayne Rd. is a growing
business corridor and that the proposed use would be acceptable.
If there are any questions, concerns or corrections required for this community meeting summary,
please contact Mike Nichols, RLA at Paramount Engineering.
