Re: Palm Grove Apartments / 6634 Carolina Beach Road
A community meeting was held back in August to introduce a multi‐family development project at
the referenced address. That proposal was submitted to the County, and proceeded through the
rezoning process to a public hearing by the Planning Board. The petition was eventually withdrawn
before hearing by the Commissioners.
In addition to the common questions about traffic & stormwater impacts – both of which are
governed by extensive regulations and permitting – surrounding residents were averse to the
increased housing density. Comments offered by the Board included issues with the overall scale
and height of the proposed building.
In response to that input, the site plan has been revised for a more conventional multi‐family
community. The density has been reduced, albeit slightly, but proposed to be spread out among
smaller buildings. There are 12 units within each 3‐story structure, for a total of 72 rental homes.
An exhibit of the current project layout is attached.
The Owner is re‐submitting for a Conditional Zoning District, a zoning designation that allows only a
particular use, density, layout, etc. to be established pertaining to each individual development.
Since the general premise of the project has not changed, we are providing everyone with this new
layout, and rather than scheduling a subsequent meeting, we would welcome you to contact me at
telephone # 910‐620‐2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions. I
would also be happy to meet with anyone who asks. The County will advertise for the next Planning
Board hearing, which we hope to be scheduled for Thursday, March 2nd.
We appreciate your interest in the project and continue to believe that this new community will
provide a housing alternative missing in the southern portion of the County, be good neighbor and
be an asset to the community.
