Therefore, on this the 6th day of November 2023, Collector of Revenue, Allison Snell, asks the New Hanover County Board of County Commissioner's to release the levy for tax year 2013 from the charge as the 10 years Statute of limitations prohibits the Collector from using forced collection measures to collect these taxes.

Bill Rivenbark, Chair New Hanover County Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 3 - 1 - 1 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: 11/6/2023 Consent DEPARTMENT: Finance PRESENTER(S): Eric Credle, Chief Financial Officer CONTACT(S): Eric Credle SU BJ ECT: ABC Board - Audited Financial Statements - Fiscal Year 2023 BRIEF SUMMARY: General Statute 1813-702(s) requires local ABC boards to submit to the appointing authority an annual independent audit of its operations, performed in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards and in compliance with a chart of accounts prescribed the state commission. The Exhibit is a copy of the New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board's ("County ABC Board") audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. The financial statements reflect income from operations of $11,782,814 for the year ended June 30, 2023, which represented a $672,100, or 6.1%, increase from the prior year. Gross sales for the year were $71.0 million, a 9.1% increase from $65.1 million in the prior year. The net position (assets over liabilities) at June 30, 2023, amounted to $23,494,138 compared to $24,762,730 at the prior year end, with the slight decrease explained in the following paragraph. Due to the County ABC Board achieving net sales of more than $50 million for the year, state commission regulations reduce the amount of working capital reserves required from three months to only two months. This resulted in the County ABC Board making a special distribution to the county in October 2023 of $2,230,584, along with a recurring profit distribution for the first quarter of 2024 amounting to $506,223. The special distribution of $2.2 million was not anticipated in the county's fiscal year 2024 budget.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the changes in financial position and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GARS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. 1 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 Lexington 0 Louisve[ie 0 Raleigh ITEM: 4 - 1 - 3 deand-oirton.-c om To the Finance Committee and Members of the Board of Directors New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board Report of Independent Auditors, continued Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control -related matters that we identified during the audit. 2 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 4 To the Finance Committee and Members of the Board of Directors New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board Report of Independent Auditors, continued Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis, the Other Post -Employment Benefits Schedule of Changes in the Total OPEB Liability and Related Ratios, and the Local Government Employees' Retirement System's Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability (Asset) and Contributions be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board's basic financial statements. The Schedules of Store Expenses, Warehouse and Delivery Expenses, Administrative Expenses, Reconciliation of Budget to Actual, Detailed Statements of Changes in Net Position, Schedule of Income by Store, Schedule of Profit Distributions are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. September 13, 2023 Raleigh, North Carolina 3 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 5 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL BOARD Management's Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) This section of the New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board's (the Board) financial report represents management's discussion and analysis of the financial performance of the Board for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. This information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in this report. Financial Highlights In 2023 • Over 117% of profits were distributed to the Board's local government beneficiaries. • Change in net position before profit distributions increased 2.48% over the prior year. In 2022 • Over 102% of profits were distributed to the Board's local government beneficiaries. • Change in net position before profit distributions increased 23.27% over the prior year. Overview of the Financial Statements The financial statements of the Board consist of three components. They are as follows: • Management's Discussion and Analysis • Basic Financial Statements • Additional Information Required by the North Carolina ABC Commission The Basic Financial Statements are prepared using the full accrual basis of accounting. They consist of three statements. The first statement is the Statement of Net Position. Assets and liabilities are classified between current and non -current. This statement provides a summary of the Board's investment in assets and obligations to creditors. Liquidity and financial flexibility can be evaluated using the information contained in this statement. The next statement is the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. This statement is used in evaluating whether the Board has recovered all of its costs through sales. Its information is used in determining creditworthiness. The final required statement is the Statement of Cash Flows. This statement reports cash inflows and outflows in the following categories: operating, investing, capital, and financing activities. Based on this data, the user can determine the sources of cash, the uses of cash, and the change in cash.

16 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL BOARD Notes to the Financial Statements 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles Used in Determining the Scope of the Entity for Financial Reporting The New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (the Board), a component unit of New Hanover County, North Carolina reporting entity, is a corporate body with powers outlined by North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 18B-701. New Hanover County's governing body appoints the Board. The Board is required by State Statute to distribute its surpluses to the General Fund of the County and its municipalities, which represents a financial benefit to the County and its municipalities. Therefore, the Board is reported as a discretely presented component unit in the County's financial statements. Organizational History The Board was organized in 1935. The Board's governing body comprises five individuals, serving staggered 3-year terms, who are appointed by the New Hanover County Commissioners as terms expire. The Board, as provided by North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control laws, operates eight retail liquor stores, one of which also is a combination retail/mixed beverage store and two mixed beverage locations, and, by contract with the New Hanover County Sheriff, investigates violations of such laws. North Carolina General Statute [18B-805(c)(2)(3)] requires that the Board expend at least 5% of profits for law enforcement, but the Board is exempt from the law requiring an expenditure of at least 7% of total profits for alcohol education and rehabilitation purposes. Basis of Presentation All activities of the Board are accounted for within a single proprietary (enterprise) fund. Proprietary funds are used to account for operations that are (a) financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body is that the cost of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or the change in net position is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. All sales are made by cash, check, debit or credit card and recorded at the time of sale. Other revenues are recorded when earned. Expenses are recognized when incurred. 15 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 17 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL BOARD Notes to the Financial Statements, continued 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the statement of net position date, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used to determine depreciation expense and other post -employment benefit expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System (LGERS) and additions to/deductions from LGERS' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by LGERS. For this purpose, plan member contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are due. The Board's employer contributions are recognized when due and the Board has a legal requirement to provide the contributions. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of LGERS. Investments are reported at fair value. Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position Deposits All deposits of the Board are made in board -designated official depositories and are collateralized as required by State Law [G.S. 159-31]. The Board may designate, as an official depository, any bank or savings and loan association whose principal office is located in North Carolina. Also, the Board may establish time deposit accounts such as NOW and SuperNOW accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. All of the Board's deposits are either insured or collateralized by using one of two methods. Under the Dedicated Method, all deposits that exceed the federal depository insurance coverage level are collateralized with securities held by the Board's agent in the Board's name. Under the Pooling Method, which is a collateral pool, all uninsured deposits are collateralized with securities held by the State Treasurer's agent in the name of the State Treasurer. Since the State Treasurer is acting in a fiduciary capacity for the Board, these deposits are considered to be held by the Board agent in the Board's name. The amount of the pledged collateral is based on an approved averaging method for non -interest bearing deposits and the actual current balance for interest bearing deposits. Depositories using the Pooling Method report to the State Treasurer the adequacy of their pooled collateral covering uninsured deposits. The State Treasurer does not confirm this information with the Board or the escrow agent. Because of the inability to measure the exact amount of collateral pledged for the Board under the Pooling Method, the potential exists for under -col lateral ization, and this risk may increase in periods of high cash flows. However, the State Treasurer of North Carolina enforces strict standards of financial stability for each depository that collateralizes public deposits under the Pooling Method. 16 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 18 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL BOARD Notes to the Financial Statements, continued 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Assets, Liabilities, and Net Position, continued At June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Board's deposits had a carrying amount of $6,842,556 and $8,522,344, respectively, and a bank balance of $7,327,573 and $9,216,944, respectively. All of the bank balance was either covered by federal depository insurance or collateralized under the Pooling Method described above. Investments State law [G.S. 159-30(c)] authorizes the Board to invest in obligations of the United States or obligations fully guaranteed both as to principal and interest by the United States; obligations of the State of North Carolina; bonds and notes of any North Carolina local government or public authority; obligations of certain non -guaranteed federal agencies; certain high quality issues of commercial paper and banker's acceptances; and the North Carolina Capital Management Trust (NCCMT), an SEC registered (2a-7) money market mutual fund. The Board's investments with a maturity of more than one year at acquisition and non -money market investments are carried at fair value as determined by either quoted market prices, significant other observable inputs or significant unobservable inputs. Non -participating interest earning contracts and the NCCMT, an SEC registered 2a-7 external investment pool, are measured at amortized cost, which is the NCCMT's share price. The NCCMT Term Portfolio's securities are valued based at fair value as determined by significant other observable inputs. Money market investments that have a remaining maturity at the time of purchase of one year or less and non -participating interest earnings and investment contracts are reported at amortized cost.

Pension Plan Obligations and Other Post -Employment Benefits Local Government Employees' Retirement System Plan Description The Board is a participating employer in the statewide Local Government Employees' Retirement System (LGERS), a cost -sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the State of North Carolina. LGERS membership is comprised of general employees and local law enforcement officers (LEDs) of participating local governmental entities. Article 3 of G.S. Chapter 128 assigns the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to the North Carolina General Assembly. Management of the plan is vested in the LGERS Board of Trustees, which consists of 13 members — nine appointed by the Governor, one appointed by the State Senate, one appointed by the State House of Representatives, and the State Treasurer and State Superintendent, who serve as ex-officio members. The LGERS is included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the State of North Carolina. The State's CAFR includes financial statements and required supplementary information for LGERS. That report may be obtained by writing to the Office of the State Controller, 1410 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1410, by calling (919) 981-5454, or at www.osc.nc.gov. 19 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 21 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL BOARD Notes to the Financial Statements, continued 2. Pension Plan Obligations and Other Post -Employment Benefits, continued Local Government Employees' Retirement System, continued Benefits Provid LGERS provides retirement and survivor benefits. Retirement benefits are determined as 1.85% of the member's average final compensation times the member's years of creditable service. A member's average final compensation is calculated as the average of a member's four highest consecutive years of compensation. Plan members are eligible to retire with full retirement benefits at age 65 with five years of creditable service, at age 60 with 25 years of creditable service, or at any age with 30 years of creditable service. Plan members are eligible to retire with partial retirement benefits at age 50 with 20 years of creditable service or at age 60 with five years of creditable service. Survivor benefits are available to eligible beneficiaries of members who die while in active service or within 180 days of their last day of service and who have either completed 20 years of creditable service regardless of age or have completed five years of service and have reached age 60. Eligible beneficiaries may elect to receive a monthly Survivor's Alternate Benefit for life or a return of the member's contributions. The plan does not provide for automatic post -retirement benefit increases. Increases are contingent upon actuarial gains on the plan. LGERS plan members who are LEOs are eligible to retire with full retirement benefits at age 55 with five years of creditable service as an officer, or at any age with 30 years of creditable service. LEO plan members are eligible to retire with partial retirement benefits at age 50 with 15 years of creditable service as an officer. Survivor benefits are available to eligible beneficiaries of LEO members who die while in active service or within 180 days of their last day of service and who also have either completed 20 years of creditable service regardless of age, or have completed 15 years of service as a LEO and have reached age 50, or have completed five years of creditable service as a LEO and have reached age 55, or have completed 15 years of creditable service as a LEO if killed in the line of duty. Eligible beneficiaries may elect to receive a monthly Survivor's Alternate Benefit for life or a return of the member's contributions. Contributions Contribution provisions are established by General Statute 128-30 and may be amended only by the North Carolina General Assembly. The Board employees are required to contribute 6% of their compensation. Employer contributions are actuarially determined and set annually by the LGERS Board of Trustees. The Board's contractually required contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2023, was 12.27% for general employees. Actuarially determined, this amount, when combined with employee contributions, is expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year. Contributions to the pension plan from the Board were $374,913 for the year ended June 30, 2023. 20 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 22 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL BOARD Notes to the Financial Statements, continued 2. Pension Plan Obligations and Other Post -Employment Benefits, continued Local Government Employees' Retirement System, continued Refunds of Contributions Board employees who have terminated service as a contributing member of LGERS, may file an application for a refund of their contributions. By state law, refunds to members with at least five years of service include 4% interest. State law requires a 60 day waiting period after service termination before the refund may be paid. The acceptance of a refund payment cancels the individual's right to employer contributions or any other benefit provided by LGERS. Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At June 30, 2023, the Board reported a liability of $1,981,834 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2022. The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2020. The total pension liability was then rolled forward to the measurement date of June 30, 2022 utilizing update procedures incorporating the actuarial assumptions. The Board's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Board's long-term share of future payroll covered by the pension plan, relative to the projected future payroll covered by the pension plan of all participating LGERS employers, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2023, the Board's proportion was 0.03513%, which was a decrease of 0.00214% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2022. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the Board recognized pension expense of $167,945. As of June 30, 2023, the Board reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pension from the following sources: Differences between expected and actual experience Changes of assumptions Net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments Changes in proportion and differences between employer contributions and proportionate share of contributions Board contributions subsequent to the measurement date Deferred Deferred Outflows of Inflows of Resources Resources $ 85,395 $ 8,373 197,743 - 655,017 5,117 54,067 374,913 $ 1,318,185 $ 62,440 21 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 23 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL BOARD Notes to the Financial Statements, continued 2.

Other amounts reported as deferred inflows of resources related to pensions will be recognized in pension expense as follows: Year ending June 30, 2024 $ 267,744 2025 237,994 2026 63,032 2027 312,062 $ 880,832 Actuarial Assumptions. The total pension liability in the December 31, 2020 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Inflation 3.0 percent Salary increases 3.50 to 8.10 percent, including inflation and productivity factor 7.00 percent, net of pension plan investment expense, Investment rate of return including inflation The plan currently uses mortality tables that vary by age, gender, employee group (i.e. general, law enforcement officer) and health status (i.e. disabled and healthy). The current mortality rates are based on published tables and based on studies that cover significant portions of the U.S. population. The healthy mortality rates also contain a provision to reflect future mortality improvements. The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2020 valuation were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2020. Future ad hoc COLA amounts are not considered to be substantively automatic and are therefore not included in the measurement. 22 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 24 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL BOARD Notes to the Financial Statements, continued 2. Pension Plan Obligations and Other Post -Employment Benefits, continued Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions, continued The projected long-term investment returns and inflation assumptions are developed through review of current and historical capital markets data, sell -side investment research, consultant whitepapers, and historical performance of investment strategies. Fixed income return projections reflect current yields across the U.S. Treasury yield curve and market expectations of forward yields projected and interpolated for multiple tenors and over multiple year horizons. Global public equity return projections are established through analysis of the equity risk premium and the fixed income return projections. Other asset categories and strategies' return projections reflect the foregoing and historical data analysis. These projections are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class as of June 30, 2023 are summarized in the following table: Long -Term Expected Target Real Rate of Asset Class Allocation Return Fixed Income 29.0 % 1.4 % Global Equity 42.0 % 5.3 % Real Estate 8.0 % 4.3 % Alternatives 8.0 % 8.9 % Credit 7.0 % 6.0 % Inflation Protection 6.0 % 4.0 % Total 100.0 % The information above is based on 30 year expectations developed with the consulting actuary for the 2018 asset, liability, and investment policy study for the North Carolina Retirement Systems, including LGERS. The long-term nominal rates of return underlying the real rates of return are arithmetic annualized figures. The real rates of return are calculated from nominal rates by multiplicatively subtracting a long-term inflation assumption of 3.00%. All rates of return and inflation are annualized. Discount Rate. The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current contribution rate and that contributions from employers will be made at statutorily required rates, actuarially determined. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments on the current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Death Benefits The Board has also elected to provide death benefits to employees through the Death Benefit Plan for members of the Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System (Death Benefit Plan), a multiple - employer, State -administered, cost -sharing plan funded on a one-year term cost basis. The beneficiaries of those employees who die in active service after one year of contributing membership in the System, or who die within 180 days after retirement or termination of service and have at least one year of contribution membership service in the System at the time of death are eligible for death benefits. Lump sum death benefit payments to beneficiaries are equal to the employee's 12 highest months' salary in a row during the 24 months prior to the employee's death, but the benefit may not exceed $50,000 or be less than $25,000. All death benefit payments are made from the Death Benefit Plan. The Board has no liability beyond the payment of monthly contributions. The contributions to the Death Benefit Plan cannot be separated between the post -employment benefit amount and the other benefit amount. The Board considers these contributions to be immaterial. 24 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 4 - 1 - 26 NEW HANOVER COUNTY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL BOARD Notes to the Financial Statements, continued 2.

This vehicle acted as a backup for Fire Rescue operations over the last seven years when other units were sidelined for necessary repairs. However, it is no longer required in operations due to the recent replacement of a primary vehicle that has now become a reserve unit. If not donated, the pumper will be disposed of through the standard process on Govdeals. In its initial years of service, the unit played a pivotal role as the primary pumper truck for the Ogden community. In 2007, it was relocated to Porter's Neck Fire Station, where the unit was an integral part of fire rescue response for many more years. Recognizing the need for reliable equipment, CFCC has approached NHC Fire Rescue with a request to consider donating the fire pumper to the Fire Rescue Training Program. CFCC's intent is to utilize this fire pumper to train and certify aspiring firefighters, many of whom have gone on to become dedicated professionals serving within the ranks of N H C's firefighting force.

Crowell, Clerk to the Board Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 7 - 1 - 1 NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: 11/6/2023 Regular DEPARTMENT: Engineering PRESENTER(S): Tim Lowe, County Engineer CONTACT(S): Tim Lowe, County Engineer SU BJ ECT: Consideration of White Road Culvert Replacement and Adoption of Associated Budget Amendment BRIEF SUMMARY: On August 31, 2023, Engineering staff identified a failure in one of the culverts under White Road. The culvert failure has jeopardized the safety of the roadway, and the failure continues to propagate. The effected segment of White Road is not currently maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). As a result, the Stormwater Services division established a road closure with the necessary detour signing to route traffic to either Courtney Pines Road or Dovefield Drive and Brittany Lakes Road. Engineering staff had already identified this culvert for improvements due to capacity needs in the area before the failure was identified this fall. Staff had coordinated with NCDOT as part of the Military Cutoff Road extension project to perform a flood study in this area which identified the need to increase the culvert size under White Road at this location. However, due to the anticipated costs of this improvement, the project was still a couple of years away to allow for the Stormwater Services fund to build enough fund balance to account for a project of this size. The culvert currently consists of three (3) 36-inch pipes. Staff has already begun coordinating with vendors to determine options that match the recommendations of the flood study, and it has been determined that an 8-ft. x 24- ft. aluminum arch culvert is the best alternative. Due to utility relocations and de -watering efforts that will be required to construct the project, current estimates indicate a project cost of approximately $840,000. The Stormwater Services current unrestricted fund balance is $697,148. This fund balance has accumulated over the last two years of fee collection with the intention of building an emergency fund; however, it is not sufficient to cover the estimated costs. Staff is requesting that the General Fund loan the Stormwater Services Fund the cost of the project with the Stormwater Fund repaying the loan back over 5 years. This will allow for the Stormwater Services' fund balance to have additional time to build up for emergencies or unforeseen circumstances that may present themselves in the future. By borrowing from the General Fund, Stormwater Services capital projects can continue as planned while adding in this culvert replacement. The estimated incremental impact to the equivalent rate unit (ERLI) fee to fund the repayment is approximately 23 cents per month for a five-year term, and that will be evaluated as part of the FY25 budget process.

A section of White Road is currently closed because one of the culverts under the road has failed and jeopardizes the safety of the road. This road is important for Emergency Management connectivity in that part of the county. This section of White Road is not currently maintained by the N. C. Department of Transportation. It is estimated that this project will cost approximately $840,000.00. This will be structured as a loan from the General Fund to the Stormwater Fund, which the Stormwater Fund will repay over five years. The estimated incremental impact to the equivalent rate unit (ERU) fee to fund the repayment is approximately 23 cents per month for the five-year term. Section 3: Documentation of Adoption This ordinance shall be effective upon its adoption. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of New Hanover County, North Carolina, that the Ordinance for Budget Amendment(s) 24-027 amending the annual budget ordinance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, is adopted.

In the northern portion of the county, extensive growth has been experienced in the vicinity of Gordon Road. This growth has resulted in an increase in travel times to emergency incidents, and a need for a new fire station in that area. The due diligence process has been completed for a 2.77-acre area situated at 4812 Gordon Road, which is a part of a larger 128-acre parcel. This property is located opposite the junction of Gordon Road and Harris Road. The County and the property owner engaged separate, independent appraisers for the parcel. These appraisals indicated a value range of $200,000 to $250,000 per acre, which was confirmed by the N HC Tax Office. Ultimately, both parties agreed upon a price of $554,000 for the 2.77 acres, equivalent to $200,000 per acre. The necessary funding for this land acquisition and the construction of the fire station has been allocated as a capital project within the approved FY24 budget. A Phase 1 Environmental Survey has indicated the site is suitable for a fire station. A preliminary site layout has been completed that includes a temporary access road that will connect the parcel to Gordon Road. The 2.77 acres will not be impacted in right of way acquisitions for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) widening project. Fire Rescue has coordinated with NCDOT for preliminary concept regarding emergency vehicle access prior to and after the widening of Gordon Road is complete. NHC Planning and Land Use and Cape Fear Public Utility Authority have been involved in evaluating the site for suitability with no concerns identified. In August 2022, the County purchased property at 6102 Gordon Road with the intent to acquire an adjacent parcel of land to build the fire station. While unsuccessful with the adjacent parcel, the property at 4812 Gordon Road became a more attractive solution due to its size and proximity to Harris Road. If the approval for acquiring the property at 4812 Gordon Road is granted, staff requests the Board designate the property at 6102 Gordon Road as surplus. This action would enable the County to appropriately manage the disposal of the property and channel the resulting proceeds back into the fire station's capital projects funds. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: Community Safety & Well-being o The community supports a life that mitigates health and safety risks ■ Effectively and efficiently respond to public health and safety demands. Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 9 RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Approve the purchase of the property at 4812 Gordon Road, including granting authority for the county manager and county attorney to execute all necessary documents for closing on the property and declare 6102 Gordon Road as surplus property. ATTACHMENTS: Legal Description Parcel Survey Map Property images COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: (only Manager) Recommend approval. COMMISSIONERS' ACTIONS: Approved 5-0.

The private road is located between Porters Neck Road and Blue Heron Drive. BRIEF SUMMARY: Porters Neck Village, formerly named Plantation Village, is in the process of updating its company and community name. As part of the update, Porters Neck Village has initiated a voluntary request to change the private road named Plantation Drive to Village Center Drive. The private road Plantation Drive is approximately 300-feet long and serves as the entrance to the Porters Neck Village senior living community. The entrance road only serves Porters Neck Village and does not serve any other home or business. There are no addresses along Plantation Drive. NC General Statute 153A-239.1 establishes that counties have the authority to review and approve requests to rename private roads within the county's unincorporated jurisdiction. The general statute also establishes the minimum procedures counties must use when considering road renaming petitions. These require public notice through public hearing signs posted along the affected roadway, legal notice in the newspaper, and a notice posted at the county courthouse. New Hanover County provides an additional mailed notice to the property owners along the length of the road. For this request, Porters Neck Village is the only property owner along the section of road. New street names must be reviewed and approved by the county's Addressing Coordinator with the Planning & Land Use Department before a public hearing is scheduled. The Addressing Coordinator is responsible for ensuring road names meet the standards of the county's Addressing Ordinance and the needs of Emergency Management and 911. The Planning Board does not provide a review or recommendation for street naming requests. The Addressing Coordinator, Emergency Management, and 911 have reviewed the proposed name Village Center Drive and determined the road name would be compatible with the county's road naming conventions. If approved, the applicant is responsible for the purchase of the new street sign. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: • Good Governance Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 10 o Effective County Management ■ Increase transparency and awareness about county actions RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Based on review of the proposed street name and compliance with the New Hanover County Addressing Ordinance, staff recommends approval of the petitioner's request to rename Plantation Drive to Village Center Drive.

Biddle, Development Review Planner CONTACT(S): Wendell E. Biddle, Development Review Planner; Robert Farrell, Development Review Supervisor; Rebekah Roth, Planning and Land Use Director SU BJ ECT: Public Hearing Rezoning Request (Z23-18) - Request by Cindee Wolf with Design Solutions, applicant, to rezone approximately 1.63 acres zoned R-15, Residential located at 6218 Carolina Beach Road to (CZD) B-2, Regional Business for a rental truck office and warehousing facility. BRIEF SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 1.63 acres from R-15 to (CZD) B-2, Regional Business zoning district for a maximum 4,450 square foot moving truck rental agency and warehousing facility to provide a moving services operation that includes the rental of moving trucks and moving equipment and the warehousing of portable storage containers similar to PODS. The existing site currently includes a single-family dwelling, a swimming pool, and two accessory structures. The applicant is proposing to remove the single-family dwelling and swimming pool while retaining and remodeling both accessory structures. One accessory structure will be converted into a 650 square foot office in which the proposed moving truck and moving equipment rental agency will operate from. The other structure will be converted into a 600 square foot supply storage space. The proposal also includes a 2,400 square foot warehouse that will be used as a temporary repository for portable storage containers. The storage containers, similar to PODS, are designed to be transported to an off -site location for customer use and then returned to the warehouse for short or long-term storage. The applicant has included a 20-foot-wide public access easement along Carolina Beach Road, a condition has been included guaranteeing the easement. The applicant has also included an enhanced Type A opaque buffer yard along the western and southwestern property lines adjacent to neighboring residential uses. The buffer is proposed as a minimum 35-foot-wide spatial buffer with a Type A Opaque Buffer consisting of three rows of evergreen shrubs a minimum of 6 feet in height that will provide full visual opacity within one year of planting. The buffer will be supplemented by an additional two rows of staggered evergreen shrubs anticipated to grow a minimum of 15-20 feet tall. A condition has been included guaranteeing the additional buffer. At the Planning Board meeting, two conditions related to the locations of both security fencing and dumpster facilities were recommended in consideration to the adjacent neighbors. The applicant's revised concept plan illustrates the incorporation of both conditions, the first being that if the developer were to erect a security fence, it must be located on the property owner's side of the vegetative buffer in an effort to keep from being in the view of the adjacent neighbors. The second condition stipulates that the site's dumpster location is to be closer to the center of the Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11 development near the proposed office in an effort to lessen the impacts of noise from trash collection. The site is currently served by private well and septic. The applicant is proposing to use the existing system for the office. No restroom facilities are proposed in the warehouse. If approved, the existing system will require review and approval from New Hanover County Environmental Health. CFPUA does not currently have water and sewer infrastructure in the immediate area, however, the nearby Pierson Point residential development on the east side of Carolina Beach Road is anticipated to extend water and sewer to the area within the next year. Private utility provider, Aqua, also has nearby sewer infrastructure currently serving the neighboring Sellars Cove development. Additional infrastructure improvements may be required to enable future connection to public sewer from the site. The R-15 district was established to ensure housing densities served by private well and septic would be developed at low densities. Since that time, the Carolina Beach Road corridor has experienced a transition to higher density residential and mixed commercial districts from the Monkey Junction growth node to Halyburton Parkway to the south. The B-2 district was established to provide for the proper site layout and development of larger format or larger structure size business uses, including big box stores and automobile dealers. It is also designed to provide for the appropriate location and design of auto -oriented uses that meet the needs of the motoring public or those who rely on pass -by -traffic. When adjacent to residential properties, the B-2 district requires a 30-foot side interior setback and a 35-foot rear setback. As the U DO does not specifically lists "moving operation services" such as moving truck or moving equipment rental as a use, staff has determined that the proposed development's land use is best categorized as Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities and Warehousing with associated moving truck and moving equipment rentals. Section 4.3.5.D of the UDO contains additional requirements for warehousing uses prohibiting the storage of live animals, explosives, and flammable gases or liquids in the B-2 zoning district. As currently zoned, the subject site could accommodate a maximum of four single-family dwelling units under the performance residential standards. It is estimated the site would generate approximately 3 AM and 4 PM peak hour trips if developed at the permitted density for performance development in the R-15 district. The proposed (CZD) B-2 development is estimated to generate 1 AM and 1 PM peak hour trips, decreasing the estimated number of peak hour trips by approximately 2 AM and 3 PM trips. The proposed project is located along a a major arterial highway that is currently over planning capacity. Future NCDOT improvements to Carolina Beach Road north of the project are anticipated to alleviate current conditions, while the proposed project reduces overall traffic impacts compared to by -right development allowed under current zoning. Access is proposed through a single limited access driveway with nearby U-turn movements approximately 700 feet north and south of the site. The proposed project's peak hour traffic is below the 100 peak hour threshold requiring a traffic impact analysis and NCDOT will review the project through the driveway permitting process for any required improvements to the existing driveway. On July 7, 2023, the Board of Commissioners adopted a new strategic plan for Fiscal Year 2024-2028. This plan focuses on three core areas: workforce and economic development, community safety and wellbeing, and sustainable land use and environmental stewardship. The proposed (CZD) B-2 rezoning will allow a business that can support the Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11 surrounding community to be located in a transitional area along a major roadway corridor and in close proximity to a number of households. The plan aims to prepare for the long-term needs of businesses and to maintain new business growth within 2.5% of the state. The proposed commercial zoning district will enable a new business. The property is located along Carolina Beach Road between higher density multi -family development and commercially zoned properties south of the intersection of Sanders Road and Carolina Beach Road. Due to the size of the parcel and access onto Carolina Beach Road, the property is less likely to be developed with lower density detached single family housing. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Community Mixed Use, which focuses on small-scale, compact, mixed use development patterns that serve all modes of travel and act as a an attractor for county residents and visitors. Types of appropriate uses include office, retail, mixed use, recreational, commercial, institutional, and multi -family and single-family residential. The proposed (CZD) B-2 zoning request is generally CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the proposed limited commercial uses are generally encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type and would serve nearby existing and future residential developments. The Planning Board considered this application at the October 5, 2023 meeting. Two people one of whom was the appointed representative of the Sellars Cove community, spoke in opposition to the project. No one from the public spoke in support. While deliberating, the Planning Board considered the extent of permitted uses within the B-2 district along with the associated traffic and other impacts possible with those potential commercial uses. By comparison, the applicant's proposed use was determined to be less intrusive to the area. The Planning Board voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend approval of the petition with nine (9) conditions related to: limiting the proposed land use, providing a public access easement along a major corridor, excluding commercial RV and boat storage, prohibiting outdoor storage of portable storage containers on site, height restrictions on all structures, general considerations towards lighting, an enhanced Type A: Opaque rear buffer yard, security fencing, and dumpster location. The board found the application to be CONSISTENT with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan because the rezoning provides for the types of uses recommended in the Community Mixed Use place type. The board also found RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of the rezoning request was reasonable and in the public interest because the project reduces estimated traffic impacts to the adjacent roadway and would act as an appropriate transition between the highway and neighboring high density residential development. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: • Workforce & Economic Development o Resilient infrastructure drives economic growth and opportunities. ■ Lead the area in well -planned infrastructure creation and resources. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Staff's recommendation is based on the policy guidance of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, zoning considerations, and technical review. The property is located along Carolina Beach Road between higher density multi -family development Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11 and commercially zoned properties south of the intersection of Sanders Road and Carolina Beach Road. The proposed project reduces overall estimated traffic in an area of roadway that is currently over planning capacity and could act as an appropriate transition between the highway corridor and adjacent higher density residential development. The Planning Board had recommended adding the language "any vehicle rental will be ancillary to the uses described" to condition one as part of the motion. Staff is recommending an alternate condition (Uses shall be limited to Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities and Warehousing with associated moving truck and moving equipment rental) to clarify the intent of the proposed project. We are also recommending the reference to POD containers in condition 4 be revised to not specify any one type of storage company. As a result, Staff recommends approval of the proposal and suggest the following motion with the proposed conditions: I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed limited commercial uses are generally encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type and would serve nearby existing and future residential developments. I also find recommending APPROVAL of the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the project reduces estimated traffic impacts to the adjacent roadway and would act as an appropriate transition between the highway and neighboring high density residential development, with the following conditions: Proposed Conditions: 1. Uses shall be limited to Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities and Warehousing with associated moving truck and moving equipment rental. 2. A minimum of 20-foot-wide dedicated public access easement shall be required extending from the northern property line to the southern property line parallel to Carolina Beach Road. Adjustments to the location of the easement along Carolina Beach Road may be approved administratively by Planning staff due to landscaping, tree preservation, driveway access, or utility requirements. 3. No commercial RV or boat storage shall be permitted on site. 4. No outdoor storage of portable storage containers shall be permitted on site. 5. The warehouse structure's maximum allowed building height is 25 feet. 6. Exterior lighting, including luminaries and security lights, shall be arranged or shielded so as not to cast illumination in an upward direction above an imaginary line extended from he light sources parallel to the ground. Fixtures shall be numbered such that adequate levels of lighting are maintained, but that light spillage and glare are not directed at adjacent property(ies), neighboring areas, or motorists. Light posts shall be no taller than twelve (12) feet. 7. The entire 35-foot-wide setback behind the building shall be reserved as a buffer yard. No activities shall occur in that area. Two (2) staggered rows of Leyland Cypress or some other evergreen shrub that grows a minimum of 15-20 feet in height will be planted along the rear boundary in addition to the prescribed Type A Opaque Buffer, Option 1 requiring a minimum of three (3) rows of evergreen shrubs that shall be a minimum of six (6) feet in height and provide full visual opacity within one (1) year of planting. 8.

Alternative Motion for Denial (If based on information presented at the public hearing or other consideration beyond the scope of staff review, the Board finds denial appropriate.) I move to recommend DENIAL for the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed limited commercial uses are generally encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type and would serve nearby existing and future residential developments. I find recommending DENIAL of the rezoning request is not reasonable and in the public interest because the proposal is not similar in use to other nearby uses and would not serve as an appropriate transition between adjacent land uses.

The applicant is proposing to remove the dwelling and swimming pool while retaining and remodeling both accessory structures. • Of the two accessory structures, one will be converted into a 650 square foot office in which the proposed moving truck and moving equipment rental agency will operate from. The other structure will be converted into a 600 square foot supply storage space. • The proposal also includes a 2,400 square foot warehouse that will be used as a temporary repository for portable storage containers. • Similar to PODS®, the storage containers are designed to be transported to an off -site location for costumer use and then returned to the warehouse for short or long-term storage. Once on location, the warehouse and storage containers will not be accessible to the public. • The applicant has included a 20-foot-wide public access easement along Carolina Beach Road to accommodate future bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. A condition has been included guaranteeing the easement. Z23-18 Staff Report PB 10.5.2023 Page 3 of 15 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 2 - 3 • The applicant has also included an enhanced Type A opaque buffer yard along the western and southwestern property lines adjacent to neighboring residential uses. The buffer is proposed as a minimum 35-foot-wide spatial buffer with a Type A Opaque Buffer consisting of three rows of evergreen shrubs a minimum of b feet in height that will provide full visual opacity within one year of planting. The buffer will be supplemented by an additional two rows of staggered evergreen shrubs anticipated to grow a minimum of 15-20 feet tall. A condition has been included guaranteeing the additional buffer. • At the Planning Board meeting, two conditions related to the locations of both security fencing and dumpster facilities were recommended in consideration for the adjacent neighbors. The applicant's revised concept plan illustrates the incorporation of both conditions, the first being that if the developer were to erect a security fence, the fence must be located on the property owner's side of the vegetative buffer in an effort to keep from being in the view of the adjacent neighbors. The second condition stipulates the site's dumpster location is to be closer to the center of the development near the proposed office in an effort to reduce possible impacts from noise during waste collection. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS • The R-15 district in this area was established in 1971. At the time, the purpose of the R-15 district was to ensure that housing served by private septic and wells would be developed at low densities. • Since that time, the Carolina Beach Road corridor has experienced a transition to higher density residential and mixed commercial districts from the Monkey Junction growth node to Halyburton Parkway to the south. • In addition, there has been a trend of adaptive reuse of residential structures converting to commercial use along the corridor. • The B-2 district was established to provide for the proper site layout and development of larger format or larger structure size business uses, including big box stores and automobile dealers. It is also designed to provide for the appropriate location and design of auto oriented uses that meet the needs of the motoring public or that rely on pass by traffic. • The B-2 district requires a 30-foot side interior setback and a 35-foot rear setback when adjacent to residential properties. • As the UDC) does not specifically lists "moving operation services" such as moving truck or moving equipment rental as a use, staff has determined that the proposed development's land use is best categorized as Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities and Warehousing with associated moving truck and moving equipment rentals. • Section 4.3.5.D.2 of the UDC) contains additional use standards for warehousing within the B-2 zoning district. These standards prohibit the storage of live animals, explosives, and flammable gases or liquids.

SUMMARY The proposed project is located along a major arterial highway that is currently over planning capacity. Future NCDOT improvements to Carolina Beach Road north of the project are anticipated to alleviate current conditions, while the proposed project reduces overall traffic impacts compared to by -right development allowed under current zoning. Access is proposed through a single limited access driveway with nearby U-turn movements approximately 700 feet north and south of the site. The prosed project's peak hour traffic is below the 100 peak hour threshold requiring a traffic impact analysis. NCDOT will review the project through the driveway permitting process for any required improvements to the existing driveway.

The property is located along Carolina Beach Road between higher density multi -family development and commercially zoned properties south of the intersection of Sanders Road and Carolina Beach Road. The proposed project reduces overall estimated traffic in an area of roadway that is currently over planning capacity and could act as an appropriate transition between the highway corridor and adjacent higher density residential development.

Staff is recommending an alternate condition (Uses shall be limited to Offices for Private Business and Professional Activities and Warehousing with associated moving truck and moving equipment rental) to clarify the intent of the proposed project. We are also recommending the reference to POD containers in condition 4 be revised to not specify any one type of storage company. Additional conditions include the applicant providing a public access easement along a major corridor, excluding commercial RV and boat storage, height restrictions on all structures, general considerations towards lighting, an enhanced Type A: Opaque rear buffer yard, security fencing location, and the location of any on -site dumpster. As a result, Staff concurs with the Planning Board's recommendation and suggests the following motion with the proposed conditions: I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the proposed limited commercial uses are generally encouraged in the Community Mixed Use place type and would serve nearby existing and future residential developments.

Conditional Zoning District Considerations The Conditional Zoning District procedure is established to address situations where a particular land use would be consistent with the New Hanover County 2016 Comprehensive Plan and the objectives outlined in the Unified Development Ordinance and where only a specific use or uses is proposed. The procedure is intended primarily for use with transitions between zoning districts of dissimilar character where a particular use or uses, with restrictive conditions to safeguard adjacent land uses, can create a more orderly transition benefiting all affected parties and the community at -large. The applicant must explain, with reference to attached plans (where applicable), how the proposed Conditional Zoning district meets the following criteria. 1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County's policies for growth and development, as described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc. 2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning district be consistent with the property's classification on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map.

November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 7 - 22 • Desigv� Soiutior�s August 11, 2023 To: Adjacent Property Owners This is a notice of a community information meeting for an upcoming rezoning request on behalf of Shirley S. Norris, property owner. The rezoning request would be from R-15, a residential district, to (CZD) B-2, a conditional business district, for establishment of a moving vehicle and trailer rental business. The meeting is an opportunity for further explanation of the proposal and for questions to be answered concerning project improvements, benefits and impacts. The subject tract, addressed 6218 Carolina Beach Road, is approximately 1.63 acres. The New Hanover County parcel number (PIN) is 313314.24.5134, and tax identification (PID) is R07900-001-316-000. Your property is located in the proximity, within a 500' perimeter, of the proposed project. This proposal would be for a Conditional Zoning District approval from New Hanover County. A Conditional Zoning District allows particular uses to be established only in accordance with specific standards and conditions pertaining to each individual development project. Essentially, this means that only a specific use, or set of uses, and the proposed site improvements of an approved petition can be developed. A meeting will be held on Thursday, August 24t", 6:00 p.m., at the Veteran's Park Picnic Shelter #2. The location is off the parking lot north of the tennis courts, 355 Halyburton Memorial Parkway. (See Map below) If you cannot attend, you are also welcome to contact Cindee Wolf at telephone # 910-620-2374, or email cwolf@lobodemar.biz with comments and/or questions.

Beach Road What is the nature of your Oppose project comment? Public Comment The project causes a toxic environmental impact on the quality of life for the residents that live directly adjacent to the property. The smell of the fumes impacts the overall health. Tearing down the trees, takes away the buffer for the toxic noise that already exist. Imposes a fire trap for the residents, adjacent the property. The Sellars Cove residents only have one exit out of their property. The materials stored there can be highly combustible. Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 2 The proposed changes conflicts with the NHC master plan. The project imposes a toxic industrial use upon a community that is predominantly senior citizens.

Beach Road What is the nature of your Oppose project comment? Public Comment As a co-owner I am concerned about the impact this rezoning will have on my neighborhood. My concerns are: The traffic- it is already very hard to exit the complex safety having trucks and trailers will compound that. The Noise- I believe that the noise from this type of business will impact my quality of life. Health- I believe that the fumes from the trucks will impact the health of the community. It would not allow for open windows and fresh air. We would also consume more energy to have to 1 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 4 run air conditioning instead of having the windows open, Fire and emergency- as our development has only one egress, having this type of business could impact our safety. If they had a issue with a truck or pod we would be confined. Our Children- Our bus stop is at the entrance to our property and our children could be in danger if truck and trailers are coming in and out. Lastely, we have an abundance of storage unit places in our area and another one is not warranted. U-Haul has 2 facilities in both directions on Carolina Beach Rd with in a mile of this proposed location which seems redundant.

The business that is being proposed is not needed in this area with more than 20 such types of storage in this area. I am also concerned with the impact that it would have to the ability to exit Condo Club Dr onto Carolina Beach. I already have trouble exiting and adding a business with people unused to driving trucks seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I am also concerned with the removal of old growth trees and the 1 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 6 impact of flooding and road collapse which has happened on Sanders Road. While progress has to be made with the growth of this area I believe we have to conserve what we can to make sure that we do not strip bear every piece of property. People move here for the beauty of our area and this seems to be just put anything anywhere. The area was chosen by us because it was surrounded by trees and greenery, we can open our windows and doors and spend time outside. This business will prevent that from happening.

There is only ONE entrance and ONE exit. I would fear for my life if I were stuck in my complex because a truck might be blocking my exit.

Thank you. Good afternoon Commissioner; As a resident taxpayer and a Constituent of New Hanover County, I am opposed to the re -zoning of the subject track, addressed 6218 Carolina Beach Road, approximately 1.63 acres. The New Hanover County parcel number (pin) is 3133314.24.5134, and tax identification (pid)R07900-001-316-000, I live with 500' perimeters of the proposed project at The Sellars Cove Community. Just as a reminder, I called each of you on August 23, 2023 to voice my opposition to the project, because I was out of town on an family emergency and could not attend the August 24th, 2023 meeting at Veterans Park, but, many of my neighbor did attend the meeting and had the opportunity to express their opposition to the project. I do appreciate the Commissioner that took the time to respond to my call by sending me a text message letting me know that he would communicate my concerns to each of you. My oppositions to the project are as follows: 1. It would have an adverse affect on the quality of life that I currently enjoy; impacting on the healthy environment that enriches the air quality that we as residents are entitled to. 2. It would impact on the privacy of the homeowners that directly face the proposed project; taking away our ability to open our windows to experience the cross flow of fresh air into our homes. We do not have a back door entrance and the windows allow us to turn off our air conditioners, lowering our utility bills. Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 12 3. It would impact our ability to raise our venetian blind, pull back our curtain and enjoy the privacy of walking freely around our units, without thinking that someone may be looking into our homes. 4. It would impact the quality of the environment for owners or tenant that sit out on their terraces, having to look down on trucks, vans, people moving in and out of the lot 24/7, hearing honking horns, and smelling gas fumes, and slamming doors. 5. It would impact the school bus stop that picks up and drop off NHC student during the school year. 6. It would impact on Sellars Coves & Beau Rivage resident's ( visitors, mail truck, UPS, Fed X, Amazon, service trucks, and moving trucks).merging off the road lane to enter the community entrance. 7. It would cause an adverse affect on the already highly traveled Carolina Beach Road and to our residents waiting time to exit the property in order to merge onto Carolina beach road. It would add more traffic congestion to our road system. I can continue to list the various things that would impact the quality of our lives, but, I think each of you understand my concerns. As a child born in Wilmington, I remember my ancestral land in Federal Point and how they worked so hard to be good stewards of the land, I remember the dirt roads that existed and how we as children played on the dirt roads and the ancestral land of Elijah Moore; I can appreciate the progress, but how much more? There are many retired elderly people that live in Sellars cove, and this type of business would not add any value to our quality of life. I truly hope that each of you would put your selves in our shoes, and consider how you would like to wake up to smelling gas fumes on a daily bases. I am requesting that you give consideration to preserving the quality of our living experience in this community and deny the U-Hall project.

Beach Road What is the nature of your Oppose project comment? Public Comment I am the owner of a condo located adjacent to the property at 6218 Carolina Beach Road. I am against the project of rezoning from a residential to a commercial/industrial site. The project is listed as a U-haul and pods parking area to be located directly behind my building. The constant traffic, loud noise of trucks coming and going, beeping of lift for the pods, pollution of air just behind our pool area will be a violation of my quality of living here. Right now we have a great place to live at with almost no noise from around us. We are mostly a Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 14 community of retired people who are finally able to enjoy peace and tranquility. With that project we will be enduring a tremendous low quality of life. There are other industrial areas in Wilmington that would be more appropriate to that type of business. Also the infrastructure of our roads is not adequate to such an addition of more traffic on Carolina Beach Rd. We only have one access out of our community and it is already very difficult to turn right and then immediately move in the turning lane to make a U-turn at the signal. I cannot even imagine what it would become especially when tourists are in season. It will turn into a nightmare. Please do not let it pass. Thanks.

Once the house is gone and the trees regardless of what they plant, the Noise will increase. Most of us our Seniors so our breathing could be affected down the road. Apparently the Comprehensive plan from 2010 did not take in the fact that in 2023 Wilmington would be lot of Seniors who retire here. Can a UHAUL truck go 0 to 55 in seconds as the Speed Limit is 55 jn front of the business. I saw someone in a pick up going faster and a lady was making a left hand turn onto Cathay and he clipped the back of her car and turned her around and luckily she did not hit anyone. Scared me to death. The house.. the owner used to shoot off his guns during holidays so I know there is/was ammunition in that house, hopefully it will be removed so as not to cause an issue. When they start digging - I lived at the Keys Apartments and when Braxton decided to gut their office and pool, I was behind them on a first floor and yes the SNAKES came to visit. Maintenance removed a 5 foot one that wrapped itself on my lawn furniture. I can imagine what animals we will see and what we lose with our birds.. Cardinals, and Hummingbirds besides the squirrels. In the Spring we had the Coyotes from the Beau Rivage area by our mailbox area. Nature is always upset when we start digging. Having a clear shot of the noise on 421 will be something. Right now it's hidden even if the noise is there at least I don't see the cars. I will when the Trees are gone. Lighting - right now there is a spot light from ZA Pie that shines on my balcony. What kind of lights will shine in all our bedrooms. Their has to be lights to secure their facility. No one has talked about how the the area will be Lite UP? This is not the Right Spot and we have heard other investors may be interested if you VOTE NO to this project and it would be more residential which is perfect. Vote No this is not what Sellars Cove residents need or want. Thank you.

Beach Road What is the nature of your Oppose project comment? Public Comment As a property owner at Sellers Cove I oppose the proposal to rezone the property at 6218 CB Road to allow for a UHaul/Pods Storage. This type of business does not belong in a residential area that is approaching a very dangerous intersection at CB Road and Cathay. Carolina Beach Road is the main thoroughfare to Pleasure Island. There was a terrible accident at the intersection yesterday evening 10/3/23. The very small turn lane starting at ZaPie Pizza also supports a residence, the Sellers Cove community, Beau Rivage main i Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 19 entrance and Speedway Gas Station. Adding a business that utilizes semi trucks for Pods containers and 40 trucks for rent by UHAUL with inexperienced drivers operating UHAUL vehicles onto an already heavily traveled road is not feasible. The combination of tourists, inexperienced UHAUL drivers, semi trucks and a dangerous intersection is a disaster waiting to happen. That type of business belongs in an industrial area, not a residential mixed use neighborhood. I know it is the NH County development plan to utilize every available space on CB Road as reported in the papers and on local news, but this use is not the right one. As someone who drives back and forth to work daily, it is already impossible to get into the left turn lane to go toward Monkey Junction. For safety I have to utilize Cathay Road to go anywhere. Children riding the school buses for our community and Beau Rivage are also a concern. Please take our concerns as taxpayers, residents and concerned citizens seriously. The county seems to cater to moneyed investors from out of town, as in the case of 6218 CB Road, who don't live here and care about anything but money. Thank you.

See below, thank you. Best regards, Sara Gross Dear Case Planner and NHC Planning Board, Please find this letter as a thoughtful request for your vote against the rezoning request (Z23-18) of 6218 Carolina Beach Rd from an R-15 residential lot to commercial CZD-B2 in order for a U-Haul/ PODS storage facility to be built. I am a current homeowner of the Sellars Cove Condominiums located directly behind the proposed lot. We have a beautiful 3 building community at Sellars Cove that sits somewhat back off the road in a "cove". The way our condo communitywas developed has created this unique cove of protection, privacy and quieter atmosphere even though we sit along a very busy road. It's an attractive feature that played a part in convincing me to rent here 8 years ago. I have loved it ever since and I am now a new homeowner here. I and We (my Sellars Cove community) would like to present for your consideration many issues/concerns regarding the impacts the rezoning will have: 1. The proposed plan will mean that the facility sits at the entrance of a turning lane that goes to our private road "driveway" at Sellars Cove, Beau Rivage, Speedway Gas Station and Cathay Rd. Large U-Haul trucks and a commercial CDL POD truck would be frequenting the facility and there is a grave concern about the ability of these vehicles to enter/exit this area safely when it's already being used by multiple communities. 2. Traffic congestion going down South 421 on Carolina Beach Rd. is bad at all times. We already have a difficult time pulling out onto Carolina Beach Rd and it's even more difficult if people are pulling out and needing to get into the far -left lane to make a U-turn to head North. We have multiple school buses that travel up and down South 421 and we have a bus stop at the end of the Sellars Cove Driveway. This endangers our children and makes for an unsafe situation if we throw U-Haul and large CDL trucks into the mix of entering/exiting the same area. 3. Many renters of U-Haul trucks are not always experienced in driving this type of vehicle and will face the same challenges of entering/exiting onto Carolina Beach Rd. which will increase the likelihood of an accident. Poor visual field from the truck/ and reckless attempts at getting out on Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 23 the road in a traffic "window" (which is not always a clear window with the density of vehicles on the road and our current speed limit here in front of this area is 55 mph) will create an unsafe situation for drivers in the U-Haul's, for oncoming drivers traveling South, and for other vehicles attempting to get out onto the road also from Sellars Cove, Beau Rivage, and Speedway Gas Station. Having these U-haul trucks at this entrance creates a vision obstruction for drivers attempting to pull out onto Carolina Beach Rd. 4. Having another proposed storage/rental facility like this is REDUNDANT. We have a considerable number of these types of facilities that currently meet the need for our immediate area. 2 U-Haul locations sit less than 4 miles away in either direction of this lot, 1 North and 1 South, plus the other non-U-Haul rental locations and self -storage facilities that are also nearby. It is unnecessary to allow another facility of this nature to be located on such a small land parcel that backs up only 100 Ft from our first condo building. If we "think" we need more of these facilities in this area, there are better suited locations that can accommodate this facility that won't present these traffic/proximity concerns as putting one here will have. 5. We love our home location! We enjoy having the small bit of what feels like privacy, a beautifully Landscaped driveway and surrounding/outer trees along our property. The proposed facility "parking lot and multi -story building" is an undesirable eyesore, and the plan puts this facility in OUR backyard. It would allow for the obstruction of neighborhood peace, privacy, and would undoubtedly subject us to new lighting and noise pollution, especially for owner's units who are on the top third floor facing the facility. The prosed buffer is not enough, and there just isn't enough space to responsibly develop this kind of facilitywithout encroachment into our neighborhood community. I understand that the future land use for this stretch of land along Carolina Beach Rd is Community Mixed Use according to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and that it can encompass commercial zoning. However, a facility of this nature is more small scale industrial like and it's just TOO industrial for this lot and its proximity to surrounding residential communities. 1 U-Haul location north of 421 appears to be in an Urban mixed -use area, and the other South on 421 is in a community mixed use area but it shares it location with a Midgard Storage facility that is the primary development for that land parcel. BOTH of these facilities sit on LARGER plots of land with GREATER proximity spacingto any residential community. North Chase is a great example according to your comprehensive plan that is a community mixed use area, and it has been developed with care and consideration for its residents as there are beautiful spacious residential areas with other small office, business and retail spaces throughout, with several storage and a couple U-Haul facilities, BUT none are encroaching on a residential community that threatens their space, privacy and safety. All have been thoughtfully placed to allow for convenience and need but offer a natural spacing that is sustainable while protecting and making the residential living areas attractive, safe, and natural looking. Also please consider that our stretch of 421 from Sanders to River Road at Snows Cut has had a lot of new development in less than 3 years, therefore increasing the number of people traveling to our area, not to mention we will always have the heavy traffic to Carolina Beach. Newly developed businesses include: Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 24 • Express Oil Change and Tire Engineers • Harris Teeter Fuel Station • O'Learys Automotive (Now Car Guys) • Family Fare Gas Station • Midgard Storage • Re -Store (Just Built) • Tidal Wave Auto Spa (Just built) • Hanover Pines Nature Park (In -progress) In addition to these businesses, a 48-unit Townhome complex, Piersons Townhomes was just approved for rezoning and development by the board. These townhomes specifically will be situated on the left- hand side of Carolina beach road next to the Hanover Pines Nature Park. The close proximity to Cathay Rd. and the U-turn point will make this an increasingly more trafficked intersection. The intersection at Cathay is already very dangerous with many accidents happening monthly. We know the task of approving/disapproving land use/development requests is not an easy task. However, it is imperative now more than ever that decisions are made where responsible development is a priority and focuses on inclusivityto all things that make Wilmington attractive, safe, resourceful, natural and pristine. With the current Land Use plan being from 2016, it is becoming increasingly outdated as our City and County has experienced un-precented growth of people and businesses. Faster than anyone perceived happening, it has increased the pressures of decision making, and strains our area infrastructures. Times are challengingto find housing and create sustainable residential communities where we can have privacy, security, nature and promising resale values. Part of your responsibility is to look beyond and responsibly plan and create our communities to be the best and most sensible. Let's not develop every parcel of land just because we can. Let's ask, is this what is best for each and every area and are we creating meaningful sustainable areas that protect and uphold the quality of life forthe residents of our beautiful county. Thank you for your time and consideration on this rezoning matter, we hope you will take time to really think, look at, and discuss the future of our area along Carolina Beach that we call home.

Beach Road What is the nature of your Oppose project comment? Public Comment I am the owner of a condo located in Sellars Cove which is adjacent to the property situate at 6218 Carolina Beach road. I am opposed to the rezoning of that property from a residential to a commercial/industrial site. The project suggested for that property as described to us would be a U-Haul rental and Pods storage area. We were advised by Cindee Wolf that would entail a 30 foot high metal building, approximately 30-40 U-Haul trucks and approximately Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 27 20-30 Pods storage. The construction of that facility would bring with it an increase in traffic on what is already a highly traveled road leading to the beach. During tourist season an already busy road becomes almost impossible to enter from our access as it is. Adding large trucks to this traffic will undoubtedly cause issues not only for the residents of Sellars Cove but all who travel this road on a daily basis. Additionally there would be trucks coming and going at all hours of the day and night and loading and unloading pods by forklifts which beep constantly when in reverse. This will occur in the area directly behind one of the residential buildings and our pool area. The view for the owners will be altered to a view of a steel building and U-haul trucks. The relaxing pool area will be subjected to the loud noise of trucks and machinery all day. I am not opposed to all businesses that may come into the area but this business will directly affect the quality of life of the residents of Sellars Cove, who are primarily seniors.

As of now there are many beautiful trees buffering the noise and pollution from the Busy highway. I enjoy living among all of the pine trees and greenery. It was a selling point to buying my condo. If you were to take away the trees you would be making my quality of life unbearable. I ask that you Please leave these beautiful trees in thier rightful places.

Beach Road What is the nature of your Oppose project comment? Public Comment As a resident of Sellars Cove 1 am opposed to the rezoning application submitted for 6218 Carolina Beach Rd. I reside in the unit owned by Paul Harris. Rezoning this property will greatly affect the residents of our community. The large trucks will add more issues to an extremely busy road. Trying to enter Carolina Beach Rd and crossing the first two lanes to make it to the U turn lane is already difficult. Adding UHaul trucks and trucks delivering i Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 31 Pods storage units will aggravate an already bad situation. Along with the traffic issues, there will be an increase in noise as the natural barrier that exists now will be gone. Residents will be subjected to noise from trucks, equipment used to load and unload the Pods and increased traffic in and out of an entrance right beside the entrance to our community. Some units will have their view changed to look onto a 30 ft high steel building while the pool area will be subjected to the noise and an altered view. Residents chose Sellars Cove because it was set back from the highway providing privacy and protection from highway noise. While a large majority of the residents are seniors, there are children who reside in Sellars Cove also and catch the school bus each morning at the entrance. This entrance will now be directly next to the one for the new facility, if approved. There will be UHaul trucks entering and exiting while children are getting on and off the school bus. This will create a safety issue for the children. Please consider the impact this will have on the residents of Sellars Cove, their quality of life, the effect on safety and traffic issues and deny the rezoning application.

Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 32 Biddle, Wendell From: Alie Diaz <diaz.alie@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 4, 2023 10:15 PM To: Biddle, Wendell Subject: U-Haul and Pod Storage - 6218 Carolina Beach Road case Z23-18 Attachments: Rezone .pdf ** External Email: Do not click links, open attachments, or reply until you know it is safe ** Mr. Biddle, Thank you in advance for considering the following perspective on my OPPOSITION to this project. Attached you will find a 7 page PDF that references images I will be discussing throughout my OPPOSING this project. (See page 1 images) I would like to begin with expressing my concern for the misinformation/confusing information provided to us at the initial meeting. The address Ms. Cindee provided did not lead us to where the meeting was. (See page 3 images) At the preliminary meeting, Larry Dendy was presented as the developer and he mentioned he would be working with several other investors located in Texas and California (I believe?). I urge the council to perform research on Mr. Dendy's history. A simple google search speaks for itself. At our meeting, he stated he has never worked on a project of this nature. (See page 2 images) The drawing Cindee initially presented to us was NOT drawn to scale and it took some time for Cindee to admit to that at the meeting and stated she would provide us with a scale drawing at a later date. Ms. Wolf also failed to mention to us that the "information sheet" we signed would actually be part of her proposal submission to the county. While this may be normal practice, it came across as very deceitful. (See page 4 images) The new to scale drawing is quite different than the initial we received. I would also like to note that Ms. Wolf failed to send this information the means she said she would and it was sent to us AFTER it was submitted to the county. I believe the only reason the information was sent, was due to a member of our community reaching out to find out the status of the rezone submission and if it happened. Some additional information I would like to draw your attention to concerning the updated new drawing: the number of spaces compared to the first document. At the meeting, the developer stated there would be anywhere from 17-35 Uhaul trucks. New drawing has 33 spaces whereas the first has 28. The new drawing listed a different name as the developer. Further clarification was provided in an email as to Mr. Dendy's affiliation to the project. I have also included an image from building 645 for your reference as well. I would encourage the council to consider other projects Ms. Wolf has worked on throughout the city of Wilmington where she stated noise and light pollution would not be an issue and she was incorrect. I believe Sea Gate Bottle shop and Wendy's house are a good place to begin this consideration as again, a google search provides news reports of residents behind the establishments experiencing disturbances despite Cindee's assurance there would be none. Page 6 of my document provides images of a Uhaul facility located on Oleander, another very congested area of town. Thankfully people aren't driving 55+ mph in this area due to the lights, so it is maybe not as dangerous but an absolute eye sore given the nearby homes and beautiful park located next door. Page 7 allows for you to see what we see when exiting our property. I'd like you to note this and the location of Ms. Wolf's design of spaces out front on her new plan. Considering the size of a Uhaul truck and or trailer, it will be a potentially deadly exit for us to leave our property. As you can see from the image of the garbage truck in the turn lane (top of page 7), visibility is limited. I can't imagine the thought of large Uhaul trucks completely obstructing our exit view. I would also like to make the committee aware that our corner is a bus stop for children of all ages. Additionally, I'd like to add that the general public typically has no prior experience to driving vehicles of such large nature. I can't begin to imagine the dangers this presents with someone pulling out and darting across 3 lanes of traffic to attempt a U turn at a light that I don't believe is conducive to a Uhaul truck making a U turn. I urge the council to also consider the number of accidents that have occurred at the intersection of Carolina Beach Road and Cathay Road. One happened just recently (October 3rd) and a car ended up on it's side. A pregnant member of our community was involved in a hit and run at the U turn light. While I realize we aren't planning for people to miss the turn to the Uhaul business, it will happen. People turn in here all the time to turn around because of missed turns. Our driveway is not made for vehicles of this nature to enter and attempt a U-turn. I'd like to know what the planners have in mind as far as preventing the added traffic entering our property. To conclude, Allowing a Uhaul center/ pod storage facility to be placed in an already overly congested, fast, highly traveled, and dangerous intersection would be extremely Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 33 reckless and put many in our community in danger each time we attempt to leave our home as well as other surrounding areas of this area of Wilmington. I urge you to seriously consider DENYING this project. Thank you for taking time to consider my information.

Beach Road What is the nature of your Oppose project comment? Public Comment I am the co-owner of a condo located adjacent to the property at 6218 CB Rd. I oppose this project for several reasons. This project would greatly reduce our noise barrier, reduce our quality of living, would in fact contribute to noise & fume pollution, would contribute to the reduction of our property values, would increase the danger of accidents and there is no need for yet another U-Haul type facility so close to at least 3 others in a 5-mile radius. This section of CB rd, although 55- mph, is already difficult to enter from our complex as traffic 1 Board of Commissioners - November 6, 2023 ITEM: 11- 11 - 44 generally moves between 60-65 and we have to cross all lanes to be able to get to the light to turn back toward town. We have children who wait for the bus at the end of our complex. Having inexperienced U-Haul drivers trying to come in and out would absolutely be a safety hazard. We are also concerned that the U-Haul entrance will be missed and those trucks will pull into our complex to turn around. The infrastructure is just not a good situation, other industrial locations would be better suited. Please do not let this pass.
