5.1 Public Hearing in Connection with the Proposed Annexation of Property into the Town of Leland,
NC in Accordance with N.C.G.S. §160A-58.55
Page 3 of 5
Street maintenance services will be provided by the Town of Leland to the proposed area to be
annexed upon annexation with additional street maintenance expenditures funded within the
Town’s operational budget as of the effective date of the annexation. Street maintenance services
will therefore be provided on substantially the same basis and in the same manner as such services
are provided within the rest of the Town of Leland.
On November 30, 2017, Council approved an agreement with M&JM (NC), LLC which stipulates
that, contingent on the success of the proposed annexation and M&JM (NC), LLC conveying fee
simple title to the Town of Leland of the annexed streets in Lanvale Forest Phases 1 and 2, the
Town shall make repairs and improvements to the existing streets to the extent required in order to
bring such streets to existing standards for public streets within the Town. A revised agreement
with a few minor changes will be voted on by Council tonight immediately following this hearing.
Staffing:
At this time, it is determined no additional staffing requirements of police, fire, or street
maintenance would be required, although some portion of additional street maintenance
expenditures would be funded within the Town’s operational budget as of the effective date of the
annexation ordinance.
Information requesting water and sewer service to individual lots:
Brunswick Water and Sewer H2GO (“H2GO”), a sanitary district organized and existing under the
laws of the state of North Carolina (Article 2 of Chapter 130A of the General Statutes), presently
provides water and sewer services to the proposed area to be annexed. It is conservatively
estimated that in excess of eighty percent (80%) of the property owners of real property located in
the area proposed to be annexed are already receiving water and/or sewer services from H2GO.
Accordingly, the Town of Leland believes that this proposed annexation meets the requirements of
N.C.G.S. § 160A-58.56(a) as the residents of the area proposed to be annexed are presently
serviced by a “public water or sewer system” and not by the Town of Leland.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 160A-58.56,(b)(1), within five business days of the passage of the Resolution
of Intent, the Town of Leland notified the property owners located within the area proposed to be
annexed, in writing, of the opportunity to have water and sewer lines and connections installed at
no cost to the property owner. None of the property owners in the area proposed to be annexed
are existing utility customers of the Town of Leland. Accordingly, pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 160A-
58.56(b)(4), the Town may nevertheless proceed with the annexation despite that a majority of the
property owners failed to respond favorably to the offer to obtain water and sewer services.
Mr. Vidmar educated the audience regarding the annexation timeline of events that are required
to take place per State statute. He also explained the voting and appeal process.
Staff will propose to Council that the annexation ordinance include the approval of vested rights
within Lanvale Forest Phases 1 and 2. If approved by Council, vested rights would be based upon a
preliminary subdivision plat and development plans that were approved by Brunswick County.
Upon approval of vested rights, property owners in Lanvale Forest Phases 1 and 2 will not be
required to bring their lots and homes into compliance with the Town of Leland zoning ordinance.
Councilmember Campbell arrived at 6:30 p.m.
Mr. Edes reminded Council and the audience the State Statute requires the Town to provide and
present the residents their statutory rights regarding the annexation.
Mr. Edes stated the agreement for M&JM (NC), LLC is not a development agreement; it is more of a
Page 4 of 5
maintenance agreement.
Todd Dirkson, 891 Heartwood Loop Road East. He has been asked to be on the annexation
committee for Lanvale Forest. The committee requested comments for or against from the
residents. No comments were received from the residents.
Dominick Falank, Jr., 8553 Primm Forest Drive. He thanked the Town Council for considering the
annexation. He is speaking for himself tonight even though he is the Lanvale Forest HOA President.
He is anxious to get the Town of Leland and M&JM (NC), LLC agreement emailed to him. Most of
the community is for this annexation. The Lanvale Forest HOA members are going to educate the
community.
Mayor Bozeman closed the public hearing.

• Share cost of public infrastructure with the developer

done in two phases there would be two payments.

6. Discussion Topics
6.1 Letter
Mayor Bozeman presented An Open Letter Regarding the Regional Compromise Plan to Council for
review.
Page 4 of 7
Council's CONSENSUS was for Mayor Bozeman to send the letter.
Mr. Richardson said as of May 1, 2019 there have been seven temporary housing permits issued.
This has not changed since the last update. Five homes were considered substantially damaged
which means the homes were located in a Special Flood Hazard area and damaged more than fifty-
percent of the home value. To date, three of the homeowners have provided the necessary
documentation and can rebuild.
Ms. Hagg stated as of May 1, 2019 the hurricane expenses total $2,291,148.91. There are still some
expenses pending. On April 24, 2019 FEMA obligated $550,761.26 for our Emergency Response
Category B Project. Staff has submitted the appropriate paperwork to the State to draw down
those funds.
Councilmember Callahan asked about the status of the homes being rebuilt. Mr. Andrea replied
the owners of one have been advised on what documentation to provide but have not yet provided
it and therefore cannot rebuild at this time. The owners of one house have not returned attempted
tries by the Planning and Inspections Department for guidance about rebuilding.
Councilmember Batleman asked if the Town has another storm in the near future how it would
affect the Town. Mr. Hollis replied the Town would take a substantial hit if there was another
storm with the same expense this soon.
Mr. Brooks said there was a bid opening for the Mallory Creek Paving project in April that consisted
of two bids. The lowest bid was in the amount of $895,715.75. The Town has 120 days to provide
a notice to proceed. Staff could issue a notice to proceed and then budget it for the upcoming
year. More discussion about this project can be addressed during today's budget discussion.
Mr. Brooks informed Council that the construction bid was higher than originally estimated.
Councilmember Callahan asked if the intersection is in any of the proposed routes for the Cape
Fear Crossing. Mr. Hollis replied no route is planned to effect this intersection.
Page 5 of 7
Mr. Brooks said he needs to do a little more research before he can give Council an update on this
matter.
Mr. Andrea said staff will present a draft of the Tree Ordinance to the Planning Board in June.
After review and amendments staff plans to present the Tree Ordinance to Council at their August
Regular Council Meeting.
Ms. Reinhardt stated staff wanted to make Council aware of the current application process and
the Town is short on receiving applications for the Planning Board and Infrastructure Committee.
Councilmember Corriston made a request for staff to check and see if previous applicants are still
interested.
Councilmember Batleman asked if all of the economic development applicants are business folks.
Ms. Reinhardt replied Mr. Vidmar would review the applications and will let Council know next
month where the applicants fit into the committee member qualifications.
Mr. Hollis provided a map of the Stoney Creek Development showing the stormwater. The
development has swales that drain into the creek behind it. The stormwater design was created for
a low density area. Hurricane Florence was a 1,000 year flood event.
Mr. Hollis used the NCDOT emails to Council regarding the Cape Fear Crossing as an example that
all emails are a matter of public record. Staff does not compile the emails in any way. At any time
staff can search the emails to create a list regarding a particular subject.
Ms. Reinhardt suggested for future events where there is a large volume of emails being received
by Council staff can assist by setting up an email auto response to assist in communications.
Mayor Bozeman and Mr. Brooks indicated receipt of a letter that has been placed in the Council
agenda packet and a request to include the Mayor's name on it. Mr. Brooks asked, what was the
pleasure of the board?
Council's CONSENSUS was to add the Mayor's name to the letter.
Mr. Hollis requested Council provide the Town Clerk with the upcoming items for the June 17, 2019
Council Agenda Meeting by May 31, 2019. This should provide staff with a sufficient amount of
time to look into Council's requests.
Page 6 of 7
Mr. Brooks informed Council that staff provided a report from Mr. Vidmar today in paper form to
provide an update. Mr. Brooks also said he will email Council an update on the I, J, and K projects.
Mr. Hollis stated the project is getting ready to go out to bid. Mr. Brooks added the engineer's
drawings needed to be finalized prior to going out to bid. Mr. Hollis said the County wants to use
in kind services to assist with the project.
Councilmember Campbell requested an update on the sign. Mr. Hollis replied the sign has been
installed. Discussion was had about putting landscaping around the sign.
Councilmember Campbell asked for an update on the Village Road construction. Mr. Hollis replied
the engineer's plans did not address the field conditions correctly. The plans were fixed. The work
will resume shortly. The project will be completed by the end of October, 2019.

Christopher Watford, 1137 42nd Street, was President of the former Leland Volunteer Fire Rescue
Department. He was sad to hear about the EMS services being transfer to the County, to see the
services go away from the Town is very tough.
Julian Kehaya, 1000 Central Avenue, Charlotte, N.C. Leland Volunteer Fire Rescue was the only
place that you could work and pursue a career. He would like the Council to reconsider this take
over.
Michael Herbert, 176 N. Palm Drive. He works for a medical device company. He is a former
paramedic with Leland Volunteer Fire Rescue. He said not only do we lose the opportunity to serve
here, we are going to lose an opportunity to serve our citizens.
Chris Rogers, 2614 Snowbell Court. He is looking for a status update of the road dedication in The
Willows development. He also stated the developer was working without the proper bonding.

9. EMS MOU
9.1 Resolution R19-044 To Enter into a Memorandum of Understanding for the Transfer of the
Provision of Emergency Medical Services with Brunswick County
Mr. Hollis informed Council and the community that EMS services are provided at the pleasure of
the County. The Town's budget for EMS services was approximately $1,400,000.00. The Town had
an approximate $800,000.00 short fall for the EMS services for FY2019/2020. The Council asked
the County to consider providing the Town with funding that was needed for EMS expenditures in
FY2019/2020. Mr. Hollis spoke to the County Manager after the resolution was submitted for the
County's consideration. The County Manager told him that she was going to recommend to the
County Commissioners that the County provide EMS services instead of the Town. The County
currently has an ambulance that is located at the Leland Industrial Park area.
Mayor Bozeman called a recess at 6:30 p.m.
Mayor Bozeman called the meeting back to order at 6:34 p.m.
Mr. Hollis said there was concern to wait until September 1, 2019 for the continuation of services
and securing the EMS employees with a place of employment. The County will offer them positions
at the same rate of pay and seniority they had with the Town. This was a tough negotiation and
position for the Town. The County Manager said it was a long time goal for the County to provide
the services themselves.
Councilmember Corriston expressed disappointment with the County's decision.
Councilmember Callahan asked how the County EMS rating is compared to the Town's EMS rating.
Mr. Hollis replied he believed the County and Town EMS services complimented each other. There
are eight paramedic positions that will be offered employment with the County. Mr. Hollis said
the County could provide the Town with a 60 day notice to expire the franchise agreement, but the
Town wanted to negotiate a July 1, 2019 date with the County to ensure employment for the
Town's EMS staff and uninterrupted service to the citizens.
Councilmember Campbell said there is no County representative here tonight regarding this item.
He is not happy about this situation, but he does not have an answer to resolve this issue. Maybe
in the future this needs to be changed at the State level.

Hollis to provide information about the street connection.
Councilmember Campbell asked how many emergency calls come in for Lindenwood Drive. Mr.
Hollis did not have that information at this time.
Mayor Bozeman said people who purchase a home on a cul de sac do it for a reason.
Mr. Hollis said Council is not approving any street connections tonight. When Council approves the
budget they are approving the budget for the potential of a street connection.
Dan Gerrish said he has lived in the Forest Edge community for the past eleven years. He is
concerned for the safety of the Forest Edge community.
Joelle Serot, 1024 Lindenwood Drive. She moved here in October 2018 and she is stunned over this
proposal. What is an emergency vehicle? Please define what an emergency vehicle is. She also
announced that there is no drainage on the cul de sac and it is needed.
Steven Jorgorian, 3104 Woodbend Court. He is a former EMT and fire fighter. He drove through
the area and the island on Glendale Drive would need to be removed and the street widened. He
understands the point to provide services and respond, but you need to do it in a safe manner. He
has been in a line of fire vehicles and there can be 2 or 3 more vehicles behind them which may
cause a traffic issue. If the gate is guaranteed for Town emergency services only, the Town may
have his vote.
Kenneth Ford, 3149 Redfield Drive. He spoke about his son's experience where a street connection
was made and he sold his home because traffic became a huge issue. Redfield Drive and
Lindenwood Drive are narrow streets and are not made for fast moving vehicles. He also knows of
theft that has taken place in the neighborhood and is concerned that a street connection will invite
more opportunities for theft.
Councilmember Campbell said the concept of what is trying to be done is important and the effects
of this connection are also important.
Mayor Bozeman asked if the Town can take the $100,000.00 allocated for the street connection
project and purchase a boat for emergencies instead.
Councilmember Batleman said staff provided this suggestion and wonders if staff can provide more
detail about this at the Council's upcoming agenda meeting. Can more examples be provided to
exemplify the issue? This is quite the balancing act.
Councilmember Corriston said it is for the safety of the citizens. The Mallory Creek street
connection project to Brunswick Forest was not received well from the community, but the street
connections to date has saved lives due to the response times.
Mr. Hollis said if Council does not want to name this road in the street connection capital
improvement project funding for FY19/20, staff can remove the road being identified and just name
the capital improvement project as Street Connection Project(s).
Mayor Bozeman closed the budget hearing.
ACTION: Motion to remove Lindenwood Drive Street Connection project from the FY19/20
Proposed Budget and place the $100,000.00 into the Town's General Fund reserves
and continue to study the overall street connection plan.

5. ETJ Workshop
5.1
Ben Andrea, Planning and Building Inspections Director introduced Allen Serkin, AICP, CZO, Local
Government Services Director and Wes Macleod, AICP, ASLA, Senior Planner from the Cape Fear
Council of Governments. Today they will provide an overview of an Extra Territorial Jurisdiction
(ETJ).
Mr. Serkin provided legislative history and defined what an Extra Territorial Jurisdiction is. Then he
explained that a County must approve a new ETJ. There are state laws that govern the approval
and the regulatory steps that must be taken. There are also restrictions that must be met.
Municipalities must realize the effects of having an ETJ, for example no overlay between
municipalities and there will be vested rights.
The ETJ Potential Benefits are:
• Manage growth beyond municipal limits, especially where county does not regulate land
use or where regulations conflict with municipal vision/policies
• Better land use coordination for future annexation areas
• Streamlined annexation process within ETJ due to existing zoning
• Additional municipal revenues from development fees in ETJ area
• Improved tax base if municipal regulations result in higher quality development (county
benefit primarily)
Councilmember Batleman stated Brunswick County has ETJ's with several municipalities within the
County. Mr. Serkin replied he believes once an ETJ is established it cannot be overturned without
ruling from the State legislation.
Councilmember Batleman said municipalities that have an ETJ are in a good position with
Page 3 of 4
continued growth. Mr. Serkin replied with annexation law changes the burden is on the
municipalities to regulate them. Mr. Macleod said some municipalities in the state are
relinquishing their ETJ because they do not want to regulate zoning outside the municipality.
Councilmember Campbell asked, what are the pros and cons of the County to allow an ETJ to be
established. Mr. Serkin replied the County gets tax revenue either way and will lose building
inspection revenue. A County Commissioner may be concerned that the citizens may not have a
voice regarding the codes in affect and how responsive the Town Council would be. Citizens within
the ETJ do not have any voice based upon municipal voting power issue, so he can see how the
County may not want to establish an ETJ.
Mr. Serkin said his guess is the County is regulating land use and probably feels like they are doing
a fine job. It would be a final decision, the County could not go back once the Town was granted
permission.
Councilmember Campbell said ETJ citizens only have representation at the County level and no
representation in the municipality. They can only vote for county commissioners not municipal
officials.
Mayor Bozeman said the County said the number one reason they are not in favor of any new ETJ's
is because the citizens would not have representation.
Councilmember Corriston asked Mr. Serkin if he thinks home rule state legislation would ever be
enacted in North Carolina. Mr. Serkin replied he does not think so. Mr. Macleod mentioned the
State was looking at amending ETJ law in the past, but amended legislation has not progressed. He
believes it may be due to the annexation law. Mr. Serkin said that may be because state
legislatures heard concerns from the major land owners.
Mr. Serkin mentioned small residential properties would probably not be changed in the near
future. If the Town identifies areas that do not affect the small residential properties then maybe
the County may be interested. The Town may want to speak to the small residential areas to see
what would be feasible with those small communities first.
Councilmember Campbell asked if the towns of Leland and Belville both want an ETJ, how would
the County proceed. Mr. Serkin replied the County may want to consider Leland, Belville, and
Navassa all having their own ETJ's. Mr. Andrea said if the Town looked at pursuing an ETJ, it would
only be within county areas, not within other municipalities, nor in areas that would conflict with
the annexation agreements between Leland and Belville and Leland and Navassa.
Mr. Andrea presented the Brunswick County ETJ Expansion Policy and discussed the procedure for
securing approval for an ETJ. Mr. Andrea recommends Council update the Land Use Plans and
Policies prior to making any request to the County.
Mr. Serkin said having a long range planning process for each area would be addressed on a case by
case basis.

Rule 4. Agenda
(a) Proposed Agenda. The town clerk shall prepare a proposed agenda for each
meeting. A request to have an item of business placed on the agenda must be received
at least two working days before the meeting. Any board member may, by a timely
request, have an item placed on the proposed agenda. A copy of all proposed orders,
policies, regulations, and resolutions shall be attached to the proposed agenda. An
agenda package shall be prepared that includes for each item of business placed on the
proposed agenda, as much background information on the subject as is available and
feasible to reproduce. Each board member shall receive a copy of the proposed agenda
and the agenda package and they shall be available for public inspection and/or
distribution when they are distributed to the board members.
(b) Adoption of the Agenda. As its first order of business at each meeting, the board
shall, as specified in Rule 6, discuss and revise the proposed agenda and adopt an
agenda for the meeting. The board may by majority vote add items to or subtract items
from the proposed agenda, except that the board may not add items to the agenda of a
special meeting unless (a) all members are present and (b) the board determines in good
faith at the meeting that it is essential to discuss or act on the item immediately. If items
are proposed to be added to the agenda, the board may, by majority vote, require that
written copies of particular documents connected with the items be made available at the
meeting to all board members.
The board may designate certain agenda items “for discussion and potential action.”
Such designation means that the board intends to discuss the general subject area of
that agenda item before making any motion concerning that item.
(c) Open Meetings Requirements. The board shall not deliberate, vote, or otherwise
take action on any matter by reference to a letter, number or other designation, or other
secret device or method, with the intention of making it impossible for persons attending
Page 4 of 22 Page 3 of 21
Page 47 of 294
a meeting of the board to understand what is being deliberated, voted, or acted on.
However, the board may deliberate, vote, or otherwise take action by reference to an
agenda, if copies of the agenda—sufficiently worded to enable the public to understand
what is being deliberated, voted, or acted on—are available for public inspection at the
meeting.
Any individual or group who wishes to address the board shall make a request to the Formatted: Keep with next
town clerk to be placed on the agenda under public comment. However, the board shall
determine at the meeting whether it will hear the individual or group. If granted there will
be a three minute time limit for each speaker unless waived by the board. Formatted: Font: 12 pt
The public comment portion of the agenda provides a time for members of the public to
address the Board. Any individual or group who wishes to address the Board during a
Board meeting shall first make a request to the Town Clerk to be placed on the agenda
under the public comment portion of the agenda. Each speaker or group that makes such
a request will be allotted a maximum of three minutes to address the Board during the
public comments portion of the Board Meeting. Board Members should refrain from
engaging in a debate with speakers during public comments.
The Board may, upon motion and an affirmative vote of the majority the Board Members
present and voting, recognize an individual or group and allow the individual / group to
speak outside of the public comments portion of the Board meeting. In such instances,
the recognized speaker or group shall limit comments to the item then under
consideration by the Board. Any comments made unrelated to the matter under
consideration is out of order and the presiding Board member should note same.
Page 5 of 22 Page 4 of 21
Page 48 of 294
board determines another member continually seeks the floor and speaks out of turn, that
member may be called to order and reminded of the proper rules of debate.
The presiding officer shall have the following powers:
a) To rule motions in or out of order, including any motion patently offered for obstructive
or dilatory purposes;
b) To determine whether a speaker has gone beyond reasonable standards of courtesy
in his remarks and to entertain and rule on objections from other members on this ground;
c) To entertain and answer questions of parliamentary law or procedure;
d) To call a brief recess at any time;
e) To adjourn in an emergency.
A decision by the presiding officer under any of the first three powers listed may be
appealed to the board upon motion of any member, pursuant to Rule 16, Motion 1. Such
a motion is in order immediately after a decision under those powers is announced and
at no other time. The member making the motion need not be recognized by the presiding
officer, and the motion, if timely made, may not be ruled out of order.
Page 6 of 22 Page 5 of 21
Page 49 of 294
b) A member who has not spoken on the issue shall be recognized before someone
who has already spoken;
c) To the extent possible, the debate shall alternate between proponents and opponents
of the measure.
Page 7 of 22 Page 6 of 21
Page 50 of 294

there have been at least 20 minutes of debate and every member has had an opportunity
to speak once.

substantive motion may compel consideration of the measure by the entire board,
whether or not the committee has reported the matter to the board.
Motion 11. To Amend.
(a) An amendment to a motion must be pertinent to the subject matter of the
motion. An amendment is improper if adoption of the motion with that amendment added
would have the same effect as rejection of the original motion. A proposal to substitute
completely different wording for a motion or an amendment shall be treated as a motion
to amend.
(b) A motion may be amended, and that amendment may be amended, but no
further amendments may be made until the last-offered amendment is disposed of by a

the meeting during which the original vote was taken, including any continuation of that
meeting through adjournment to a time and place certain. The motion cannot interrupt
deliberation on a pending matter but is in order at any time before final adjournment of
the meeting.
Motion 14. To Rescind or Repeal. The board may vote to rescind actions it has
previously taken or to repeal items that it has previously adopted. The motion is not in
order if rescission or repeal of an action is forbidden by law.
Motion 15. To Prevent Reintroduction for Six Months. The motion shall be in
order immediately following the defeat of a substantive motion and at no other time. The
motion requires for adoption a vote equal to two-thirds of the entire membership of the
board. If adopted, the restriction imposed by the motion remains in effect for six months
or until the next organizational meeting of the board, whichever occurs first.

A board or committee may make appointments to a task force in open session. The
board or committee may recommend an appointee to the Town Council for consideration
of a vacant position on the board or committee.
The board shall use the following procedure to make appointments or
recommendations to various other boards, committees, and task forces. The chair shall

forward by the board members. The names submitted shall be debated. When the debate
ends, the chair shall call the roll of the members, and each member shall cast his or her
vote. Written ballots may be used as discussed in Rule 13.
The voting shall continue until one nominee receives a majority of the votes cast,
whereupon he or she shall be appointed. If more than one appointee is to be selected,
then each member shall have as many votes in each balloting as there are slots to be
filled, and votes from a majority of the members voting shall be required for appointment.
During each balloting, a member may cast all of his or her votes or fewer than all of them,
but he or she shall not cast more than one vote for a single candidate.

BACKGROUND: The Town of Leland has provided building inspections services to the Town of Navassa
since 2012. In 2015 the General Assembly amended the statutes concerning
building permitting fees to specifically state: “All fees collected under the
authority set forth in this section shall be used for support of the
administration and activities of the inspection department and for no other
purpose” (G.S. 153A-354 and 160A-414; S.L. 2015-145). The general notion of
this law was straightforward and in line with prior caselaw. It codified the rule
that permitting fees should be reasonably related to the cost of administering
the permit, and those funds should actually pay for those administrative costs.
The precise scope of this law, though, is not perfectly clear.
SUMMARY: In light of the general statutes and subsequent case law, the Town of Leland needs to
update our agreement with Navassa to ensure compliance with all state
requirements.
FINANCIAL: Building Inspections staff has determined that there is no significant difference in the
cost of providing inspections within Navassa versus other parts of the Leland town
limits. Thus, the established permit fees should cover all expenses.

BACKGROUND: The Town of Leland has provided building inspections services to the Town of Navassa
since 2012. In 2015 the General Assembly amended the statutes concerning
building permitting fees to specifically state: “All fees collected under the
authority set forth in this section shall be used for support of the
administration and activities of the inspection department and for no other
purpose” (G.S. 153A-354 and 160A-414; S.L. 2015-145). The general notion of
this law was straightforward and in line with prior caselaw. It codified the rule
that permitting fees should be reasonably related to the cost of administering
the permit, and those funds should actually pay for those administrative costs.
The precise scope of this law, though, is not perfectly clear.
SUMMARY: In light of the general statutes and subsequent case law, the Town of Leland needs to
update our agreement with Sandy Creek to ensure compliance with all state
requirements.

cost of providing inspections within Sandy Creek versus other parts of the Leland

NORTH CAROLINA
BRUNSWICK COUNTY
THIS CONTRACT, made this the _____ day of ________________, 2018 (the "Effective Date of

called "Contractor").
W I T N E S S E T H:
1. Purpose
The Town hereby employs the Contractor to furnish all labor, materials and equipment to perform
all work (herein the "Work") in manner and form as specified by the plans, specifications and documents
consisting of, but not limited to: Advertisement, Instructions to Bidders, General Conditions,
Supplementary Conditions, Technical Specifications, Proposal and Affidavit, Contract, Performance and

2. Engineer
The Contractor shall commence the Work to be performed under this Contract within ten (10) days
of receipt of a written order from the Town Manager or his designee, and shall complete all Work hereunder
within ___________ calendar days of the date of beginning. If the Contractor shall neglect, fail or refuse
to complete the Work within the time herein specified, or any proper extension thereof granted by the Town,
then the Contractor does hereby agree, as a part consideration for the awarding of this Contract, to pay to
the Town as liquidated damages, the sum of $_______________ for each consecutive calendar day

1
Page 6 of 17 Page 5 of 16
Page 87 of 294
The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Town because of
the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages the Town would
in such event sustain, and said amount is agreed to be the amount of damages which the Town would sustain
and said amount shall be retained from time to time by the Town from current periodical estimates.
It is further agreed that time is of the essence of each and every portion of this Contract and of the
specification wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the performance of any act
whatsoever; and where under the Contract an additional time is allowed for the completion of any Work,
the new time limit fixed by such extension shall be to the essence of this Contract. Provided, that the
Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the Town determines that
the Contractor is without fault and the Contractor's reasons for the time extension are acceptable to the
Town.
4. Extra Work
In the event extra work is necessary, not set forth or contemplated in this Contract, the Contractor
agrees to faithfully perform all such work under a written change order from the Town, setting forth and
describing fully the work to be done and in compliance with all provisions of the General Conditions. The
Town hereby agrees to pay to the Contractor, for any such extra work, upon presentation of properly
prepared, itemized statements of cost computed in accordance with the written change order and in
accordance with the General Conditions.
5. Payment
A. Town shall pay Contractor for the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents a lump
sum of $______________________. Payment to the Contractor will be in accordance with
Article 15 of the General Conditions.
B. Retainage.
B.1. The Town shall retain five percent (5%) of any periodic payment due the Contractor.
B.2. When the project is fifty percent (50%) complete, the Town, with the prior written
consent of the surety, shall not retain any further retainage from periodic payments
due the Contractor if the Contractor continues to perform satisfactorily and any
nonconforming Work identified in writing prior to that time by the Town has been
corrected by the Contractor and accepted by the Town.
B.3. If the Town determines the Contractor's performance is unsatisfactory, the Town may
reinstate retainage for each subsequent periodic payment application up to the
maximum amount of five percent (5%).
B.4. The project shall be deemed fifty percent (50%) complete when the Contractor's
gross project invoices, excluding the value of materials stored off-site, equal or
exceed fifty percent (50%) of the value of the Contract, except the value of materials
2
Page 7 of 17 Page 6 of 16
Page 88 of 294
stored on-site shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Contractor's gross project
invoices for the purpose of determining whether the project is fifty percent (50%)
complete.
B.5. Within 60 days of submission of a pay request and upon (i) receipt of a certificate of
substantial completion from the architect or engineer or (ii) the Town receives
beneficial occupancy or use of the project, and with the prior written consent of the
surety, all remaining retainage shall be released to the Contractor. Provided that the
Town in its sole discretion may retain up to two-and-one-half times the value of any
remaining Work to secure completion or correction of that Work.
Performance and payment bonds shall be provided as set forth in the General Conditions. It is agreed
that if at any time after the execution of this Contract and the surety bonds attached, the Town shall deem
the surety or sureties upon such bonds to be unsatisfactory, or if for any reason such bonds cease to be
adequate for the purposes intended, the Contractor shall, at his expense, within five days after receipt of
notice from the Town to do so, furnish an additional bond or bonds in such form and amount, and with such
surety, or sureties, as shall be satisfactory to the Town.
The Contractor shall take out and maintain, during the life of this Contract, all insurance required
under Article 6 of the General Conditions and Supplementary General Conditions, and shall, at execution
of this Contract, attach to each of the counterparts thereof documentary proof of compliance in the form of
a Certificate from his insurer, stating the amount, policy numbers, and kinds of insurance carried.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Contractor shall release, indemnify, keep and save
harmless the Town, its agents, officials and employees, from any and all responsibility or liability for any
and all damage or injury of any kind or nature whatever (including death resulting therefrom) to all persons,
whether agents, officials or employees of the Town or third persons, and to all property proximately caused
by, incident to, resulting from, arising out of, or occurring in connection with, directly or indirectly, the
performance or nonperformance by Contractor (or by any person acting for the Contractor or for whom the
Contractor is or is alleged to be in any way responsible), whether such claim may be based in whole or in
part upon contract, tort (including alleged active or passive negligence or participation in the wrong), or
upon any alleged breach of any duty or obligation on the part of the Contractor, its agents, officials and
employees or otherwise. The provisions of this Section shall include any claims for equitable relief or for
damages (compensatory or punitive) against the Town, its agents, officials, and employees including
alleged injury to the business of any claimant and shall include any and all losses, damages, injuries,
settlements, judgments, decrees, awards, fines, penalties, claims, costs and expenses. Expenses as used
herein shall include without limitation the costs incurred by the Town, its agents, officials and employees,
in connection with investigating any claim or defending any action, and shall also include reasonable
attorneys' fees by reason of the assertion of any such claim against the Town, its agents, officials or
employees. The Contractor expressly understands and agrees that any performance bond or insurance
3
Page 8 of 17 Page 7 of 16
Page 89 of 294
protection required by this Contract, or otherwise provided by the Contractor, shall in no way limit the
Contractor's responsibility to release, indemnify, keep and save harmless and defend the Town as herein
provided. The intention of the parties is to apply and construe broadly in favor of the Town the foregoing
provisions subject to the limitations, if any, set forth in N.C.G.S. 22B-1.
9. Personnel

and as such the Contractor shall not be entitled to any Town employment benefits, such as, but not limited
to, vacation, sick leave, insurance, workmen's compensation, or pension and retirement benefits.
No paid employee of the Town shall have a personal or financial interest, direct or indirect, as a
contracting party or otherwise, in the performance of this Contract.
It is agreed that the Town's failure to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this
Contract, or to exercise any right based upon a breach thereof, or the acceptance of any performance during
such breach, shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this Contract.
Disputes subject to final resolution shall be as set forth in Article 17 of the General Conditions. For
any dispute subject to resolution as set forth in the General Conditions, Town or Contractor shall initially
attempt resolution in accordance with the procedures for mediated settlement conferences in Superior Court
civil actions as set forth in N.C.G.S. § 7A-38.1 et. seq. In the event the parties are unable to resolve the
dispute through mediation, then any party may submit its dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction.

reason held invalid, unlawful, or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall
be deemed severable and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions hereof.

the requirements of Article 2 of Chapter 64 of the North Carolina General Statutes (requirement that

TITLE: Ordinance O19-024 Amending Chapter 14 Buildings and Building Regulations, Section
14-155 Nuisance Alarms of the Code of Ordinances, Town of Leland, North Carolina
PURPOSE: To amend Chapter 14 Building and Building Regulations, Section 14-155 Nuisance
Alarms, to include the Police Department as a legal responder as well as a party to
enforce any violations, along with the Fire Department.
BACKGROUND: The current Nuisance Alarm Ordinance for the Town of Leland only defines the Fire
Department as a party for the response of, as well as enforcement of, times when
there are malfunctions, improper installations, lack of proper maintenance, and
mechanical failures of an alarm activated by a cause which cannot be determined.
The last time Section 14-155 was revised was August 23, 2018.
SUMMARY: Section 14-155 Nuisance Alarms of the Code of Ordinances has been updated to
include the Police Department as an additional party to respond to and enforce
violations of the Ordinance.
FINANCIAL: N/A
ALTERNATIVES: Council can provide additional amendments to the updates presented or approve the
amendments as highlighted in Attachment A.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve the revisions made to Chapter 14 Buildings
and Building Regulations, Section 14-155 Nuisance Alarms of the Code of Ordinances.
Attachment A
(a) Definitions. The following words, terms, and phrases when used in this section shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a
different meaning:
Alarm system means any mechanism, equipment, or device which is designed to operate
automatically or manually to transmit a signal, message, or warning of an occurrence which the
fire and/or police department is expected to respond to.
Nuisance alarm means an alarm that elicited a response from the fire department, police
department, or both, caused by mechanical failure, malfunction, improper installation, or lack
of proper maintenance, or an alarm activated by a cause that cannot be determined.
(b) Nuisance alarm policy.
(1) If an alarm system generates more than three nuisance alarms in a six-month period,
the fire and/or police chief or their respective designee(s) shall notify the owner or
operator of the premises where the alarm system is installed, in writing, that such
alarm system is in violation of the town nuisance alarm policy.
(2) If at any time during the next six-months following written notification of violation,
the same alarm system generates a nuisance alarm, the owner of the business where
the alarm system is installed shall be liable to the town for a civil penalty in the
following amounts:
First nuisance alarm: $75.00
(3) If the owner or operator of the premises is able to demonstrate that an otherwise
nuisance alarm may have been triggered by the proper operation of the alarm system
equipment, the above penalties may be waived the Town Manager, or his/her
designee.

TITLE: Ordinance O19-025 Amending Chapter 10 Animals, Article IV. Animal Control of the
Code of Ordinances, Town of Leland, North Carolina
PURPOSE: To amend Chapter 10 Animals, Article IV. Animal Control, by modifying Section 10-66
Definitions, adding Section 10-69 Regulation of Exotic or Wild Animals, and adding
Section 10-70 Animals at Town Sponsored Events to the Leland Town Code.
BACKGROUND: Section 10-66 of the definitions currently does not define exotic or wild animals and
only provides a limited definition of a domesticated animal. Based upon the
introduction of additional types of animals and pets within the Town, staff
determined it was relevant to expand upon the definitions, and add additional
sections regulating exotic or wild animals and the regulation of animals at Town
sponsored events. The last time Section 10-66 was revised was April 19, 2018.
SUMMARY: The Chief of Police, along with the Town Attorney and staff, reviewed and amended
those definitions, as well as researched the regulation of exotic or wild animals and
animals at Town sponsored events. These additions will provide the Police
Department with improved guidance when responding to any of these types of
complaints to remain consistent with Town policies.
SUPPORT OF STUDIES Staff researched other local agency ordinances to assist in creating the versions

PURPOSE: To approve requests submitted by Funston Land & Timber, LLC ("Developer") to
reduce three existing Improvement Guarantee Agreements for the completion of
public infrastructure improvements in certain sections in Brunswick Forest PUD.
BACKGROUND: Brunswick Forest is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) located off U.S. Hwy. 17. The
developer is responsible for installing certain public improvements in accordance with
Town standards.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Sec. 50-109 of the Town Code of Ordinances, in lieu of requiring the
completion, installation, and dedication of all public improvements prior to final plat
approval of a subdivision, Council may enter into an agreement (“Improvement
Guarantee Agreement”) with the subdivision developer whereby the developer shall
agree to complete all required improvements. To secure this Improvement Guarantee
Agreement, the developer shall provide, subject to the approval of the Council, either
one, or a combination of, a surety performance bond, a cash bond, or an irrevocable
letter of credit in an amount not exceeding 1.25 times the entire estimated cost of
the improvements. Further, a release or reduction in an Improvement Guarantee
Agreement beyond the original one year guarantee period may be approved by the
Town Manager or his designee. As best practice, the reduction or release of an
Improvement Guarantee Agreement should be approved by resolution by the Town
Council.
At the time the original Agreements for all the ensuing sections in Brunswick Forest
PUD were approved, the installation of all public improvements were guaranteed
with associated letters of credit. Brunswick Forest Phase 2 Section 2, Phase 1 Section
5, and Phase 5 Section B-1 II have been reviewed previously by staff and by the
Town's on-call engineering service to verify that certain public improvements were
completed if indicated by the developer, which have reduced the original amounts of
the Agreements and associated letters of credit.
The developer's current request, and provided engineered estimates, attached hereto
within Resolution R19-056, for the remaining incomplete public improvements, is to
further reduce the existing Agreements and letters of credit. The incomplete
improvements for Phase 2 Section 2 and Phase 1 Section 5 have been reviewed by
staff. Phase 5 Section B-1 II has been reviewed by SEPI Engineering, acting as the
Town's on-call engineering service. All of the submitted estimates have been deemed
sufficient to complete the uninstalled public improvements. The amounts provided
Request for Action Page 1 of 18
Page 140 of 294
for each phase and section are listed below and equal 1.25 times the actual estimated

Vote on the Question of Annexation of the Proposed Annexation Area in Accordance
with N.C.G.S. §160A-58.55 and N.C.G.S. §160A-58.64
PURPOSE: To adopt Resolution R19-057 setting November 5, 2019 as the date for the
referendum vote and so notifying the Brunswick County Board of Elections in
connection with the proposed Town-initiated annexation of (1) portions of Lanvale
Forest Phase 1, Sections 1, 2, and 3; (2) portions of Lanvale Forest Phase 2, Sections 1,

On December 20, 2018, a Resolution of Intent was adopted by Council for the
purpose of continuing the annexation process pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 160A-58.55.
On January 22, 2019 and January 29, 2019, the Combined Notice was published in the
Star News pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 160A-58.55(d)(2).
SUMMARY: Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 160A-58.64, after the adoption of the Resolution of Intent, the
Request for Action Page 1 of 13
Page 170 of 294
municipality shall place the question of annexation on the ballot. Pursuant to N.C.G.S.
§ 160A-58.55 and N.C.G.S. § 160A-58.64, the municipal governing board shall adopt a
resolution setting the date for the referendum and so notify the appropriate county
board or boards of elections.
N.C.G.S. § 160A-58.55 outlines the additional steps the Town must take following the
adoption of a resolution setting the date of the referendum:
1. If a simple majority (51%) of the votes cast on the referendum are for
annexation, Council may proceed with the adoption of the annexation ordinance
under N.C.G.S. 160A-58.55.
3. At least 10 days after the certification of the election, Council votes on the
annexation ordinance.
6. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. 160A-58.55(j), from and after the effective date of the
annexation ordinance, the annexed territory and its citizens and property shall
be subject to all debts, laws, ordinances, and regulations in force in the Town of
Leland, except for vested rights that may be adopted with the annexation
ordinance, and shall be entitled to the same privileges and benefits as other
parts of the Town.
SUPPORT OF STUDIES The 2020 Master Plan recommends that the Town increase the diversity of housing
OR PLANS: choices in the community with particular emphasis on affordable housing that is
within close proximity of retail and commercial businesses. The housing in the
proposed annexation area is aligned with this recommendation.
The area within the CAMA Sector Map shown in the Master Plan includes areas
outside of the Town's present boundary that could be considered for annexation. The
proposed annexation area is shown on the Sector Map as a Controlled Growth Sector.
FINANCIAL: Property annexed into the Town will expand the Town's tax base and provide revenue
from ad valorem property tax and sales tax that will help pay for services provided by
the Town to its citizens throughout the Town. The Town does not anticipate the need
to add staff as a result of the proposed annexation. The Town currently provides
police and fire protection to the proposed annexation area and will continue to
provide these services at no additional cost. Future street maintenance services will
be provided by the Town with additional street maintenance expenditures funded by
the Town's operational budget.

Introduced By: Carly Hagg
Date: June 20, 2019
Resolution Approving Financial Policies for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2019
INTENT/PURPOSE
To adopt the Investment and Portfolio Policy and Fund Balance Policy as the Town’s overall
financial policies for the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 operating budget. Approval of the resolution
establishes the financial policies as the official guide for budget development, management,
and investment of idle funds.
Therefore, Be It Resolved:
That the Town Council adopts the following financial policies for the Town of Leland, North
Carolina.
SCOPE
This investment policy applies to activities of the Town of Leland with regard to investing the
financial assets of all funds.
OBJECTIVES
Funds of the Town of Leland will be invested in accordance with North Carolina General
Statutes Chapter 159-30. The Town of Leland investment portfolio shall be managed in a
manner to attain a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles while
preserving and protecting capital in the overall portfolio. Investments shall be made based on
statutory constraints and subject to available staffing.
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The Finance Director is designated as Investment Officer of the Town of Leland and is
responsible for investment decisions and activities. The Finance Director shall develop and
maintain written administrative procedures for the operation of the investment program,
consistent with these policies.
PRUDENCE
The standard prudence to be applied by the Finance Director shall be the "prudent investor"
rule, which states, "Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances
Resolutions Page 1 of 4
Page 200 of 294
then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the
management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the
probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived." The prudent
investor rule shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio. The Finance
Director, acting in accordance with written procedures and exercising due diligence, shall not
be held personally responsible for a specific security's credit risk or market price changes,
provided that these deviations are reported immediately and that appropriate action is taken
to control these adverse developments.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
Controls shall be designated to prevent loss of public funds due to fraud, error, and
misrepresentation, unanticipated market changes, or imprudent actions. These controls shall
be reviewed annually by the independent auditor.
PORTFOLIO DIVERSIFICATION
The Town of Leland will diversify use of investment instruments to avoid incurring
unreasonable risks inherent in over investing in specific instruments, individual financial
institutions, or maturities.
Diversification by Instrument
• U.S. Treasury Obligations (Bills, notes, and bonds)
• U.S. Government Agency Securities (FNMA, FHLMC, FHLB, FCDNs, and bullet issues)
• Bankers' Acceptances (BAs)
• Commercial Paper (Paper)
• Certificates of Deposit non negotiable (CDs)
• Local Government Investment Pool (NCCMT)
Resolutions Page 2 of 4
Page 201 of 294
MATURITY SCHEDULING
Investment maturities for operating funds shall be scheduled to coincide with projected cash
flow needs, taking into account large, routine expenditures (including payroll or debt
payments), as well as considering sizable blocks of anticipated revenue. Maturities in this
category shall be timed to comply with the following guidelines:
QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONS
The Town of Leland shall maintain a listing of financial institutions, which are approved for
investment purposes. Banks shall provide their most recent Consolidated Report of Condition at
the request of the Town. At a minimum, the Town shall conduct an annual evaluation of each
bank's creditworthiness to determine whether it should be on the "Qualified Institution" listing.
Securities dealers not affiliated with a bank shall be required to be classified as reporting
dealers affiliated with the New York Federal Reserve Bank, as primary dealers.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Finance Director shall generate monthly reports to the Town Manager for management
purposes. The Town Council is also provided monthly reports that include data on revenue,
expenditures, and investments, as well as any narrative for clarification.
The Town Council formally establishes the goal of obtaining an available fund balance in the
General Fund in an amount of thirty-five percent (35%) of the General Fund budget at the end
of each fiscal year.
The Town Manager shall take this policy into account when developing the recommended
annual budget.
Resolutions Page 3 of 4
Page 202 of 294
The goal of the Town is to fund the yearly adopted capital improvement plan and may do so by
using any estimated surplus funds for the current year, unless directed by Town Council.
The independent auditor for the Town shall monitor compliance with this established Fund
Balance Policy. The auditor shall report related findings and recommendations annually, as a
part of the audit and financial report.

Page 270 of 294
replied the engineers did consider pedestrian traffic; a walkway was included. They studied the
amount of traffic across the road and their intent is to have a button. Mr. Vetter also said there
still could be changes to the proposed plans; the engineers will be looking at existing infrastructure
in the very near future.
Mr. Morrow asked what the next step was at this point. Mr. Vetter replied once we identify any
and all conflicts, it will go out to bid and then proposed to Council.
6. Discussion Topics
6.1 Remainder of 2019 Meeting Dates.
The list of the new bi-monthly dates for the remainder of 2019 was distributed with the agenda
packet.

Mr. Vetter stated the force main tie-ins and testing were taking place and the completion was
expected by the end of March. Then SEPI would notify the State of the sewer flow and certification
of the force main will follow. Mr. Vetter ended by saying Lift Station #10 has been certified and
activated, but only to allow gravity at this time.
7.2 Update - Lift Station #1 Upgrade.
Mr. Vetter advised that Cape Fear Engineering provided a cost estimate to design a new lift station
near the existing one and staff has been reviewing that estimate before awarding any bid.
Mr. Morrow asked about the average cost of a lift station. Mr. Vetter replied that is difficult to
answer; it could range from $200,000 to over a million, depending on the size of the lift station and
the pumps.
7.3 Update - Lift Station #14 Relocation.
Mr. Vetter indicated that SEPI Engineering was approximately 50% complete with the proposed
drawings and was also considering a second site for the relocation.
Mr. Young wanted to know more about the second site. Mr. Vetter replied the first site was on the
right hand side if you are going east; a second site was being considered because of the future park,
just to see which site suits the park better.
7.4 Update - Water Tower Booster Pump.
Mr. Vetter said The Town executed the contract with Wells Brothers Construction and was awaiting
their signature on the contract. There was currently no scheduled start date for construction.

Mr. Vetter stated the Town is seeking estimates to complete the stripping and is also asking for
proposals from an engineer for street assessments of all Town-owned streets.
Mr. Paxton asked if the Town heard anything from the previous contractor. Mr. Vetter replied the
Town told that contractor to close out the contract. There were some additional items that were
included in their scope of work, but the Town chose to address those with another contractor. Mr.
Paxton then said there still are a lot of problems with their overlay. Mr. Vetter replied the street
assessment on all Town streets will include those issues in Waterford.
Chairman Kazmarski inquired if the HOA for Waterford had said anything about their private roads,
as he had sent them some information about the street assessment. Chairman Kazmarski thought
if both the Town and Waterford streets were done at the same time it may cost less. He knows they
contacted the Town's Assistant Town Manager. Mr. Vetter said he wasn't sure if the Town could be
involved in a project with private streets, but maybe they could contact the same engineer.
Chairman Kazmarski said his intent was to have the HOA piggyback the contract not have the town
pay for it.
7.6 Update - Brunswick Forest Low Country Blvd. Intersection Improvement.
Mr. Vetter said SEPI Engineering completed the plans and submitted them for review. Staff is
reviewing the plans as they may need to be modified based on existing utilities.
Mr. Young asked about the operation of the intersection; would it operate 24 hours a day even
when nobody is there. Mr. Vetter said it will be 24 hours. Discussion then took place about the
necessity to operate 24 hours a day; how the programs can be controlled and the timing set on
flash at night. Mr. Vetter stated the engineer would make that determination and the
determination about a possible left hand turn lane and signal at the time of installation.
Mr. Morrow asked how long construction will take. Mr. Vetter replied staff does not know at this
time.
7.7 Update - Northgate Realignment project on Village Road.
Mr. Vetter advised the engineering consultant has been working with the contractor to correct
discrepancies in the right turn lane. Staff is continuing to work with AECOM to produce engineering
plans so the contractor can complete Village Road. The plans will include reviewing all curb
elevations. Northgate realignment work continues as planned.
7.8 Update - Mallory Creek Drive Project.
Mr. Vetter said the plans are complete for this project and SEPI will place it out for bids shortly.
7.9 Update - Magnolia Greens Flood Study.
Mr. Vetter stated staff met with the HOA a couple of weeks ago. They were reviewing the study
and conditions at this time and will get back to us.
Mr. Young asked if this committee will see the HOA comments. Mr. Vetter replied, yes if they
produce any.
7.10 SCADA System.
Mr. Vetter advised the Town's new SCADA system for the Town's sanitary lift stations has now
been activated. He explained how the system works and the differences from the previous system.
He said staff has already adjusted the floats on some pumps and decreased the starts by almost
half because now we know how many times a day they shut off.
Chairman Kazmarski asked if there was any capabilities of a slow start as typically you get a surge
when they first start. Mr. Vetter explained how certain grinder pumps can be designed to slow
start and based on manufacturer and intended use, some pumps required quick start so they can
begin the grinder process and explained the difference between the two.
Mr. Young asked if the power for the lift stations comes from Brunswick Electric. Mr. Vetter
replied some of them on the southern end are supplied by Brunswick Electric and then Duke Energy
supplies the electricity to the northern end.
Discussion then took place about how the Town pumps are best suited with three phase pumps,
rather than single phase pumps. Mr. Young wondered if both Brunswick Electric and Duke Energy
have three phase pumps. Mr. Vetter replied yes.
Mr. Morrow asked about the new apartment complex on Highway 17. Mr. Vetter replied
annexation of the property has taken place but he does not yet know what is going to be built
there. Mr. Paxton asked how much property was annexed. Mr. Vetter replied he is not sure of the
size of the parcel.
Chairman Kazmarski wondered if the requirement to build a new lift station would fall on the
builder. Mr. Vetter replied there are a bunch of different scenarios and explained them.

6. Discussion Topics
6.1 Fire Department ISO Rating - Next Steps.
Chief Grimes started by explaining what the plan depicted that was included in the agenda packet.
The new ISO rating will take effect May 1st and staff has now begun taking steps to improve upon
that ISO rating. The plan represents moving forward and looking at ways we can continue to
improve upon the fire services. Chief Grimes stated the plan is a draft, but it gives the committee
an idea of what a new firehouse would look like. He further explained that Police, Fire and Public
Utilities would each have space at the location and it would be designed around full time staffing.
He reminded the members though, this plan would be subject to normal budget processes and
funding.
Chairman Michaliga asked if the area depicted on the map with all the dots is un-buildable. Chief
Grimes replied he did not think so; the area has a pond, but is not wetlands. Chief Grimes then
discussed the need for additional staff.
Chairman Michaliga stated the Town needs a facility like this to improve response times. But, he
noticed it would be very difficult pulling out and making a sharp turn onto Lanvale Road. He is
familiar with that road and the curve has a bank to it; it will be a really sharp turn for the pumper
trucks. Ms. Rhodes responded this is a very general draft and an early stage drawing. Staff will
need to improve upon that when we get further along in the process. Chairman Michaliga then
stated it was a smart move for the Town to utilize an area they already own, but thought it should
be made to function at its best. Ms. Rhodes replied your comments and feedback are what we are
looking for.
Mr. Becker asked if there was a time-frame for improvement to the ISO rating for that area of
Town. Chief Grimes responded, staff is in discussions with the State Fire Marshal at this time. They
would like us to work on this now, but have not indicated a deadline. The Fire Marshal wants us to
be proactive and they understand the pressure.
Mr. Eipper echoed what the others said, and wondered if staff would consider this a retrofit of
current infrastructure. Chief Grimes replied no, this would be a new facility. It would be
constructed so if we need a larger facility in the future, we can add to the building. Mr. Eipper then
asked if there was anything in the plan that during storms, if we need to call on outside help, there
is housing or support for them. Chief Grimes replied yes, for our staff and EOC. Chief Grimes also
explained how staff is working with the County to be able to use the Senior Center in the event of a
storm. He further stated we have a plan already in place for this building including how we would
sleep, park and set up tents.
6.2 FY 2019/2020 Budget.
Ms. Rhodes stated she wanted to continue the discussion from last month about the budget. Staff
is continuing to meet with Council regarding the budget. The next meeting will be this coming
Monday. She described what each department was looking at adding in the next budget year, i.e., a
replacement fire engine, a replacement ambulance, and other big ticket items that need replacing
for Fire; and for Police, there are some new positions that will be added on the narcotics side as
well as replacing and adding some fleet vehicles. Ms. Rhodes said this is a big year for equipment
being replaced and updated. Hopefully, by the next meeting we may have some additional updates.
She asked the members if they had any more feedback on budget items.
Mr. Eipper stated he saw in the minutes from last month that staff is working on five years out. He
inquired, on the Police side, as we look forward five years with the growth of Leland that is
expected, what you envision to be patrol staff increases over that time. Ms. Rhodes replied the
original discussion entailed looking at the number of patrol officers based on population, but
Deputy Chief Shirley had some suggestions on different ways we can anticipate patrol officers
needed. She then said with the new software being implemented in the near future, we will have
more ways to access data to see where crime is occurring and when so we can shift patrol
schedules to meet those needs.
Deputy Chief Shirley added if we look at staffing from a workload assessment standpoint, there are
several different models we can use and explained them. He further mentioned they don't want
the staffing level too low or to be overstaffed and then not use tax money efficiently. We are
assessing several different things at this time. Deputy Chief Shirley stated the five year plan is a
living document, so we may make changes at any time.
Chairman Michaliga asked if these models or data take into account sick leave, vacation leave,
injury leave and things like that and explained how you need some fluff for anticipated leave.
Deputy Chief Shirley responded part of the analysis is looking at normal work hours in a year and
also looking at time off for all reasons, which is a component of workload assessment.
6.3 Meeting Schedule Frequency.
Ms. Sims stated that staff has been reviewing the monthly schedule for the various Boards and
Committee of the Town and as a result suggested that the meeting schedule for this committee be
changed from a monthly basis to a bi-monthly basis and listed the other committees who also have
this schedule.
Mr. Eipper felt two months without interaction could force the committee to become dysfunctional
as the members cannot have an unofficial meeting if something were to come up. He then asked
how a special meeting would be held if needed. Ms. Sims explained the process.
Mr. Becker asked if preparation for this meeting is creating a hardship for staff. Ms. Rhodes replied
there is no hardship; just coming up with topics for discussion on the monthly agenda is
challenging. At this time, there is not much feedback from the community. Ms. Sims added that
this is a staff recommendation, and the final decision is ultimately up to the committee.
Mr. Holmes said he had no problem with trying the new schedule and to schedule a special
meeting if needed.
Chairman Michaliga said some of the committee members want to feel like we are providing a
service to the Town but we have to follow the restrictions of the Open Meetings law. He supposed
the best way of getting input from the community is through the Chiefs' coffee events and
neighborhood watches.
Ms. Sims then wanted to remind the members that the May meeting is taking place on May 21st.
ACTION: Motion to go to a bi-monthly meeting schedule starting in May 2019 unless an issue
warrants a special meeting on an off month.
Motion: Romie Holmes
Second: Jay Eipper
Vote: UNANIMOUS
6.4 Community Feedback.
Mr. Eipper asked the members to make a conscientious effort not to forget what we need to do.
There has not been a lot of interaction one on one because of the guidelines we need to adhere to,
but we need to make a better effort there. The other members agreed.
Chairman Michaliga stated that he is hearing things from citizens that probably should be brought
up to the Infrastructure Committee. He wondered with regard to roadways, traffic patterns, red
lights, and turn signals along Village Road, if those fall under the Town's purview. Ms. Rhodes
replied Village Road is not a Town road; it is an NCDOT road. Chairman Michaliga received some
questions and comments about those roads. Since they are State roads, those people asking should
be directed to NCDOT in this area. Ms. Sims said she would forward to Chairman Michaliga, via
email, contact information of the person to contact at NCDOT.
7. Old/New Business
7.1 Silver Alert Program - Jay Eipper.
Mr. Eipper advised there was an issue in Brunswick Forest back in November with someone who
wandered away from their home. He immediately wondered whether the Town had a Silver Alert
Program, as we are an aging population with a lot of unfenced ponds. Mr. Eipper wanted the Town
to be proactive. Chief James replied once someone wanders away and Police or 911 are contacted,
a Civil Alert automatically goes out. The Brunswick County Sheriff has a program called Project Life
Saver, where people wear a bracelet which can be tracked if they wander off. The Brunswick
County Sheriff's office will offer that to any resident in the County. Chief James said the Town is
also checking into that service. He added the Town's K-9 is trained in tracking as well.
Mr. Eipper asked Chief James if he thought the Town did a good enough job marketing that
program to all the residents in the County. Chief James replied he is not sure about the Project Life
Saver Program; we can probably do a better job of that and that is something we will do.
7.2 Safe Light Program - Jay Eipper.
Chief James asked Mr. Eipper if he had any additional questions about the Safelight program. Mr.
Eipper said he didn't think it was viewed as a priority by staff and wanted to see if it was discussed
further. Chief James explained again that the Town has not reached the number of crashes needed
to start that process. However, it will be an ongoing process; if we start to see more side crashes
we will consider it again in the future.
Mr. Eipper said he runs into numerous people every day running red lights; it is consistent.
Highway 17 is a major issue where people run red lights. That is his own personal thought as a
resident. Chief James stated the Town is trying to get the Police cars out there to be as visible as
possible to deter that type of activity.
Chairman Michaliga asked Chief James when the new Police software will come online. Chief
James replied in the fall some time.
Chief James suggested at the May 21st meeting to have Bert Reeves from the Brunswick County
Sheriff's office come make a presentation on the Project Life Saver Program.
8.2 Monthly Fire Report.
The Monthly Statistical Report for the Fire Department was distributed with the agenda packet.
Chairman Michaliga asked about the recent fire in Magnolia Greens. He wanted to dispel some
rumors; people were talking about the dryer duct not being cleaned which started the fire, and
then that the electrical panel for the dryer started the fire. Chief Grimes responded that the Fire
Department had completed their investigation and labeled the cause undetermined, specific to this
fire. Chief Grimes added however, the number one cause of fires in the United States is dryer vent
lint.
Chairman Michaliga then said there were also rumors about the water pressure not being enough
for the fire. Chief Grimes replied that is not true; the water pressure issue came the next morning
and was caused by an excavator who pulled the line down.
9. Upcoming Events/Activities
9.1 Chat with the Chiefs - Still TBD.
Chief Grimes advised the Chat with the Chiefs event will take place on April 4th at 9:30 a.m. in the
Long Leaf Room of Town Hall. Romie Holmes will attend. Ms. Sims will send an email to all
members to see who else wants to attend.
9.2 Coffee with a Cop - TBD.

6. Discussion Topics
6.1 Board Vacancy
Mr. Richardson advised the Board members that unfortunately both Brandon Eaton and Jack
Wilson have resigned from the Parks and Recreation Board. Applications are now being accepted
for new members. Mr. Richardson hoped the vacancies would be filled by this June. Mr.
Richardson also noted that the Student Representative term also ends as of June 2019.
Ms. Middleswarth wanted to know what the Board could do to help advertise the open positions.
Mr. Richardson replied direct people to the Town's website or share the vacancies on social media.
Chairman Holmes asked about the student representative; why they are never asked to participate
in the meeting. Mr. Richardson replied the students are tasked to bring information back to staff;
such as polling the kids in school as to what their interests are and what they want to be involved
in. Chairman Holmes asked if they can be more a part of the meeting. Mr. Richardson replied they
are the youth voice and can comment on any topic.
Mr. Carter suggested an agenda item each month for the student representative to give a report.
Chairman Holmes asked Ms. Smith her thoughts. Ms. Smith said she can give a report for the
school. Ms. Carter said she would be interested in Ms. Smith commenting on concerts or events
that kids may be interested in.
6.2 Amended 2019 Meeting Dates
The amended 2019 Meeting Dates list was distributed with the agenda packet.
6.3 North Carolina Christmas Festival and Parade
Mr. Richardson started by saying the members may recall that last year the Town partnered with
the Unity Group of North Carolina for the Christmas Parade. The parade and tree lighting were
combined and took place the same day, called the North Carolina Christmas Festival and Parade.
Staff thought it would be appropriate to talk to this Board about the event last year as a whole and
the challenges and successes before this year's event.
Mr. Richardson advised that staff and the Unity Group met monthly, if not more, starting in
approximately May, 2018. There were specific roles within the agreement between the Town and
the Unity Group. The Town was tasked with providing a location for the festival, parking, Town Hall
and streets for the route. He also listed other items the Town provided. Mr. Richardson then
mentioned the Unity Group's responsibilities for the event.
Mr. Richardson opined everything went well except for the weather, over which there was no
control. As a result of the weather, the turn out was rather low and the vendors were moved
indoors. He discussed the different events that took place during the festival and how successful
they were. He reported the lights of the Christmas tree and the Christmas lights in the park were
both lite at the same time. Mr. Richardson said there was also a photographer to take photos with
Santa. The event was heavily promoted by news, radio and social media.
Mr. Richardson stated one challenge was communication, we were never able to get a true number
of vendors and parade entries. Despite meeting monthly there were also some hurdles with mis-
communication about the event being canceled because of the weather. We did have a contact
person with the Unity Group that helped with the communication.
Mr. Richardson then described how law enforcement was handled during the event and how the
Town reached out to other agencies for help. That help will be reciprocated to those agencies
when needed. He felt additional officers were needed though. Chairman Holmes asked about the
number of officers needed, and wondered if there was a plan in the future to notify nearby
departments for help. Mr. Richardson said yes, one of the officers sits on the board of the planning
committee for this event so they are aware. Mr. Richardson added that Belville and Shallotte both
also had events that day so there was a lot going on. Chairman Holmes also suggested volunteer
police officers to help with traffic.
Mr. Richardson also mentioned not all entries for the parade abided by the parameters requested
by the Town with regard to décor and lighting. However, Santa's workshop was magical.
Mr. Richardson noted the Unity Group alluded to the possibility of not being involved in this year's
Christmas Festival. Staff plans on meeting with them in the near future. The Town may decide to
start hosting the Christmas Festival on its own; that will be discussed more later. Mr. Carter asked
about the Unity Group's plan to possibly not be involved with the parade. Mr. Richardson
responded the Unity Group has been considering dissolving because there is just not enough time;
everyone has busy lives. It's not that they want to step away from the Festival, it is just an internal
dialogue about their time.
Ms. Carter asked if dates for this year had been worked out yet. Mr. Richardson replied a date for
this year has not been set yet. Staff is considering all avenues at this point. Staff is proposing to
build upon the lights in the park so people can enjoy them for all of January. Ms. Carter suggested
possibly putting them up the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
6.4 PROS Plan Recommendations for Prioritization.
Mr. Richardson reiterated that Council had previously adopted the PROS Plan and described the
action items and recommendations broken down in the plan. Staff created this document to
identify the time frame for completion of certain items.
Mr. Richardson thoroughly explained the breakdown of the list prepared by staff. Ms. Carter felt
the plan looked good on paper and wondered when it will be implemented; will it be six months
from today? Mr. Richardson replied it was really from the date the Plan was adopted. Some of
these items are already in motion and some are in motion to different degrees, and provided
examples. There are key items that can be achieved first and then we proceed with longer term
items.
Ms. Carter said she would like to see the status box have more room for comment so we can get an
update quarterly on most items. Mr. Richardson asked if there was a CONSENSUS that quarterly
was appropriate as some projects won't have three month updates. Chairman Holmes felt that
was fine, we just need to see how it is being implemented so we have some perspective on the
plan. Ms. Carter felt the status update was a tool of continuity for this Board, where it is kind of a
road map. A year down the road, the action item may not look the same as today.
Mr. Carter inquired if the time frames listed are for completion or are they the start and end times.
For instance some buildings are in the 1 to 2 year time frame, but it will take time to find funding,
prepare plans and start construction. Mr. Richardson replied we don't want to indicate we are
setting a completion date, it is more mapping out what the plan is. Mr. Carter said he was trying to
get a better idea of what the time frames represent. He would think the prerequisites steps, if
required, are already factored in.
Ms. Middleswarth said she was concerned about the time line. The plan indicates in 4 to 6 years
considering a feasibility study for an indoor recreation unit; didn't we already do that? Shouldn't
we be addressing the deficit we already are aware of? She continued we keep putting things on
paper to do without indicating what we have already done. She wanted to see the completion on
items we have been addressing during the last couple of years.
Further discussion then took place about the time line of the recommendation and the short and
long term goals.
Chairman Holmes suggested bringing a six month status report to next month's meeting and then
go quarterly from there. Mr. Richardson agreed to produce a six month status report at the April
meeting.
7. Old/New Business
7.1 Historical Marker Program.
Mr. Richardson said staff originally brought this item to the Board in December and the Board
suggested some amendments to the policy. He reminded the members what this is for and noted
the changes that were made.
Mr. Richardson explained the criteria listed in the policy is what the person completing the
application must meet. Then staff reviews the applications and presents the ones that meet the
criteria to this Board. This Board then recommends only one application to Council and Council
would agree or disagree. For instance, if there are five applications, this Board picks one of the five,
but we still present all five to Council. Council would consider the recommendation by the Parks
and Recreation Board, but still make their own decision.
Mr. Richardson further clarified the reason Council wants this Board to vet these applications is to
have another set of eyes review the applications before choosing one.
Further discussion then took place about this Board recommending only one application, but all
applications received are submitted for consideration. What happens if this Board feels they are all
worthy to recommend to Council.
Ms. Middleswarth suggested removing the word "one" from the policy. That way we are not
limited and Council is not limited. Mr. Richardson agreed to take out the word "one" but asked the
Board to have a front runner from all the applicants.
ACTION: Motion to recommend Council approve the Historical Market Policy after removing
the words "one" from the policy.
Motion: Jessica Middleswarth
Second: Veronica Carter
Vote: UNANIMOUS
7.2 WMPO Bike/Ped Committee Meeting Update - John Carter.
Mr. Carter advised earlier this month the committee wrapped up its work on the
CapeFearMovingForward project. He outlined that there were thousands of projects; the
committee spent time creating goals and objectives, as well as the scoring criteria. The
municipalities selected the projects they would like to move forward and applied the scoring
criteria. Then those that scored higher were recommend to WMPO for further vetting. Mr. Carter
did not know how long it would take, but hopefully they will know the projects chosen in the next
few months.
Mr. Carter then went on to explain WMPO's new campaign "Be a Looker" It is a bike and pedestrian
campaign to be aware of bikes and pedestrians on the road.
Mr. Carter mentioned the annual River to Sea bike ride is scheduled for May 4th.
The City of Wilmington is considering contracting with an organization called Zagter to start bike
sharing.
Finally, the WMPO is currently looking at a fall bike event in late September similar to River to Sea.

6. Introduce Guests/Speakers
6.1 Bethany Welch, NC Ports Authority Public Information Officer - Presentation on the Port of
Wilmington.
Ms. Welch presented a PowerPoint that explained:
• Operations at the Wilmington Port;
• How the Wilmington Port competes with other ports;
• The container ships' specifications;
• Capital improvements and enhancements;
• Intermodal rail service (Queen City Express);
• Five year strategic plan; and
• The efficiency of off-loading vessels.
Chairman Sink said it was an impressive presentation. With regard to the jobs that are directly
related to the ports, he asked Ms. Welch if she could break that down relating to economic
development in Leland. Ms. Welch responded it is broken down by region in our Economic
Development Regional Study. She is sure there is a way to go back and figure out the direct impact
more locally, but right now we don't have the capability.
Mr. Stevenson stated the presentation provided a good description of the terminals, and asked if
there was a break bulk terminal at the port. Ms. Welch explained how the terminals are cut down
the middle between containers and general cargo. Mr. Stevenson then inquired about the
Morehead City Port. Ms. Welch replied Morehead City is a general cargo port. She proceeded to
say Morehead City would be obtaining a gantry crane later this year as a result of the container
numbers.
Mr. Cushing asked about other competitive advantages the Wilmington Port contains. Ms. Welch
responded we are strategically located. Being in the middle of the United States on the east coast,
we can move more perishable cargo. That is a huge part of our business; exporting and importing
perishable goods. We are also close to points for other North Carolina industries, such as furniture.
Mr. Mancinelli stated he works at the Leland Innovation Park and asked if she could speak to the
local businesses that are active in terms of in and out for products. Ms. Welch replied the Port is
always looking at ways to attract businesses to the Leland Industrial Park. She listed a few
businesses and advised she could provide a more detailed list if needed.
Mr. Braddock wondered what spurred the increase in refrigerated cargo and wondered if there was
any opportunity for Leland to provide services to the Port with that increase. Ms. Welch replied we
have the only giant freezer terminal on the east coast. Many businesses use this freezer building.
We move many sweet potatoes to Europe. We are starting to see more imports because the USDA
has now opened imports to fresh produce. Ms. Welch continued the big push right now is to get a
chilled storage to move more produce through the port. Mr. Braddock asked if the storage had to
be on site. Ms. Welch replied no, it doesn't have to be on site. Mr. Braddock then asked what size
chilled storage the Port was looking for. Ms. Welch replied to give you an idea the freezer facility is
100,000 square feet.
Mr. Vidmar stated that a few years ago, there was discussion about an intermodal terminal in
Rocky Mount, but it died; what is the status? Ms. Welch replied CSX's previous CEO passed away
and when that happened they changed their operating model to precision railroading so that
removed many active projects in the United States. The original CSX intermodal terminal facility
will not be built. However, they are now creating a smaller scale of that project which will break
ground this month.
Mr. Vidmar then inquired about the increase in the turning basin, as well as the environmental
concerns of that turning basin. Ms. Welch responded any time there is any environmental concern
we review the concern, consider the feedback and then create a mitigation plan. Every large-scale
project includes an environmental impact study. We have a hearing coming up where we will
present an updated plan.
6.2 Gary Vidmar, Economic and Community Development Director for the Town of Leland -
Presentation on the Leland Opportunity Zone.
Mr. Vidmar presented a PowerPoint providing the following information regarding Leland
Opportunity Zones:
• The background and details of the legislation that created opportunity zones;
• The rules and times frames that must be followed;
• How you use capital gains;
• The rules that need to be followed in connection with real estate;
• The benefits of using an opportunity zone; and
• Where the opportunity zones are in Leland.
Chairman Sink asked if any opportunity zones are in Navassa and Belville. Mr. Vidmar replied
almost all of Navassa is in an opportunity zone.
Mr. Cushing asked if the zones were purely for commercial construction opportunities, or can they
also be an investment in residential construction. Mr. Vidmar replied it has to be an investment
that you hold onto as an investment, it can't be a property that you are building to sell later.
Mr. Vidmar ended by saying this could be an important component in our strategic plan. Mr.
Braddock added that there is a lot of information that is still coming out.
Mr. Vidmar added unfortunately, as this is rolling out to the real estate community, the agents are
calling on owners and as a result, the land price is increasing.
Mr. Stevenson asked if this could be dove-tailed into an agricultural project. Mr. Vidmar replied if it
is an agricultural business. Mr. Braddock provided a short list of businesses that would not fall
under this program and added there are some guidelines and restrictions that apply.
Mr. Cushing asked if there was any reason why the date ends this year. Mr. Vidmar didn't know the
background of that. Hopefully, with the next round these questions will be answered.
Chairman Sink stated this program has been under the radar so we don't know the initiatives that
were taken to draw the lines that included Leland. He speculated it may have been the County, but
thought more research should be done to find out the origins. Mr. McCloskey advised it was
created by the State based on zip codes and census tracts.
7. Discussion Topics
7.1 Terms Ending - Gary Vidmar.
Mr. Vidmar reminded the three people whose terms are ending on June 30. Chairman Sink can't
reapply for a year. Mr. Cushing and Mr. Stevenson are both ending their first terms on June 30 and
can reapply.
8. Old/New Business
None.
Mr. McCloskey advised that a draft of the strategic plan was forwarded to Mr. Vidmar on Monday.
Mr. Vidmar will edit and format it and turn it into a PowerPoint that will be presented at the June
13th EDC meeting. We want this committee's approval before it goes to Council at their June
meeting or if more time is needed, a later meeting.

6. Action Items
6.1 Text Amendment for Section 50-71 in the Town of Leland Code of Ordinances - Corner Lots
Definition
Presented by Ashli Pirozzi, Senior Planner.
Ms. Pirozzi presented a PowerPoint describing the proposed changes to the definition of a corner
lot in Section 50-71 of the Code of Ordinances. She also provided a picture as an example.
Chairman Whitney asked if this text amendment would result in a lot at the intersection of an alley
and a street to have the same side yard setback as a lot that is not on an intersection. Ms. Pirozzi
replied, yes.
Mr. Bryant felt by doing this it would encourage developers to install more alleys versus streets.
Ms. Pirozzi replied it could be considered an incentive. Mr. Bryant then suggested it may be more
congested and condensed putting in an ally as opposed to a street. Ms. Pirozzi responded alleys
are already permitted; this is just going to allow a little bit more flexibility in how the building is
situated on the lot. She didn't think there would be a significant increase in density.
Mr. Penwell opined there was not a clear definition of what an alley is. A street is defined, but
alley is not. Ms. Pirozzi replied an alley is defined in Section 66-4.
Mr. Penwell then wanted to know if this also applies to mobile homes parks and older subdivisions,
since you tend to find alleys in those types of developments. Ms. Pirozzi advised when a developer
wants to build we rely on the subdivision ordinance for streets and travel ways. They have to build
to certain standards in new developments. In an existing development or mobile home park, if
there is an unpaved trail it would not be recognized as an alley.
Mr. Hodges referred back to the example picture and noted with this change the house next to the
alley could erect a six foot fence. Ms. Pirozzi responded they could do that now; this text
amendment would not change that. We do not apply setbacks for fences anywhere in the Town.
Mr. Whitney asked if alleys are typically dedicated to the Town. Ms. Pirozzi replied typically alleys
are common areas as they are not accepted by the Town.
Mr. Martin stated that he disagreed with the concept; he thought it was to the benefit of the
property owner and the Town to have the same requirements for an alley as a street. A corner lot is
a corner lot.
Mr. Hodges inquired with regard the house outlined in yellow on the example picture, if this house
is on the corner of a street and you have the same house on the corner of an alley, what would the
difference be once the ordinance has passed? Ms. Pirozzi responded you would have an increased
side yard setback. Ms. Willis asked what that setback would be. Ms. Pirozzi replied it would be 20
feet and then listed the exceptions for that. Further discussion took place about the width of
setbacks and the pictures provided as examples.
Mr. Weinstein recalled that the minimum side yard setback may be five feet in some cases. Ms.
Pirozzi replied, yes in very specific cases.
ACTION: Motion to recommend Council approve, as the Board finds that this request for a Text
Amendment for Chapter 50 in the Town of Leland Code of Ordinances is:
1. Consistent with the objectives and policies of the plans adopted by the Town of
Leland, because the proposed amendment will update the Town's ordinances to allow
increased flexibility in the types of housing that are permitted; and
2. Reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed amendment will
improve the Town's ordinances while ensuring public health, safety, and welfare.

6.2 Preliminary Subdivision Plat Application Submitted by Steve Shuttleworth for Parcel No. 029KA009
Presented by Matt Kirkland, Senior Planner.
Mr. Kirkland presented a PowerPoint regarding this preliminary subdivision plat. He explained the
applicant has requested a non-motorized connection be approved in lieu of a vehicular connection.
However, staff recommended the Planning Board require a residential vehicular subdivision road
be constructed and dedicated to the Town. Mr. Kirkland also pointed out the zoning map indicates
the two different zoning areas for the townhomes and the duplex/triplexes. Shane Lippard of Right
Angle Engineering and Tom Smith, the developer, were both present to answer any questions.
Chairman Whitney asked if the zoning in the front of the parcel would be changed. Mr. Kirkland
replied no, that zoning would not change.
Mr. Bryant wondered what the setback from the state right-of-way would be at the duplexes. Mr.
Kirkland replied 25 feet off Village Road.
Mr. Penwell advised he was at the property today and it appeared that the far corner was very
overgrown and looked like wetlands. Mr. Kirkland replied the wetlands were identified on the map.
Mr. Lippard indicated where the wetlands were on the property and how the topography dropped
off in that far corner. He then explained how the applicant arrived at their request for a non-
motorized connection for pedestrian access because of the wetlands.
Chairman Whitney wanted confirmation this is one parcel and being divided into three. Mr.
Kirkland replied no, it would be three parcels at the front for the duplexes and triplexes, and the
rest of the parcel would be 74 townhomes, each on its own individual lot. Chairman Whitney then
asked why the duplexes and triplexes are not each on their own lot. Mr. Kirkland replied zoning
won't allow that and explained why.
Chairman Whitney also said he drove down Oakmont Court and it appeared to connect to a Town
maintained road. Mr. Kirkland responded that road is not currently Town maintained.
Chairman Whitney then stated on the drawing it looked like the sidewalk connected to land owned
by the Town. He asked if anything had been discussed about this land. Mr. Kirkland replied the
Town currently had no plans for that land.
Chairman Whitney continued it looks like on the map, in the middle of the rectangle piece of
property, there is a dirt road that appears to serve three mobile homes and be located within this
parcel. Mr. Kirkland replied It would have to be verified by a survey in the field. Mr. Lippard
added that will be confirmed with a title search.
Mr. Weinstein asked what happens to the walking path at the other end. Mr. Lippard replied
directly behind that is a residential property; we are only required to go to our property line.
Ms. Willis agreed with keeping any impervious surfaces open, but also understood that the Town
had an interest in making it a collector street. Could it be a nature path until the Town wants to
pursue a connection? Mr. Kirkland replied not at this time and listed the options available in the
ordinance.
Mr. Penwell asked if the connection issue had to be decided tonight. Mr. Kirkland replied yes and
explained how paragraph number 4 in the Potential Action could be removed from the motion if
the Planning Board desires a non-motorized connection. He continued, the staff recommendation
is for a full public street stub out to be built per the collector street plan and explained why.
Chairman Whitney then asked if the developer approached any property owners near the parcel.
Mr. Smith replied they made some inquiries of owners to the west, but they had no interest.
Mr. Penwell felt it was hard to comprehend why there should be a public street to nowhere; if
there is no need to get emergency vehicles in there now or in the future; a non-motorized
connection is probably better than a street.
ACTION: Motion to approve this preliminary plat and subdivision of Parcel No. 029KA009 with
the following conditions:
1. Prior to final plat approval, the developer shall provide staff copies of:
a. Approved stormwater plans and permits
b. Approved NCDOT driveway permit;
2. All required infrastructure including, but not limited to, open space, stormwater
treatment, roads & sidewalks, and utilities shall be installed prior to final plat
approval or bonded pursuant to Chapter 50-109 Final Plat Submission & Review;
3. A final plat shall be submitted to the Town for approval and signature within 18
months of Planning Board approval of the preliminary plat or approval shall be
rendered void, unless a written extension of this limit, not to exceed a 54-month
period from the initial approval date granted by the planning board;
4. A non-motorized connection be installed; and
5. Deeded accesses to public streets shall be shown on final plat.
Motion: Warren Hodges
Mr. Martin mentioned that it occurred to him that the name of The Forest could be confused with
Brunswick Forest in the future. Mr. Neylon responded the ordinance says the names can be similar
but not the same. Staff does see your point and can make that recommendation to the developer.
Mr. Penwell confirmed nothing has changed significantly, they are just moving it forward 18
months. Mr. Neylon replied correct.
ACTION: Motion to approve the Mallory Creek Plantation Master Land Use Plan Update and
Site Specific Plan for The Forest at Mallory Creek Plantation as proposed by Staff.
Motion: Robert Penwell
Second: Warren Hodges
Vote: UNANIMOUS
6.4 Text Amendment for Chapter 66, Article I and Article IX in the Town of Leland Code of Ordinances
Presented by Andrew Neylon, Planner II.
Mr. Neylon presented a PowerPoint about this text amendment regarding yard sales. After the
discussion last month, some changes were made.
Chairman Whitney asked if there were people contacting the town about permits. Mr. Neylon
replied he processed applications for 4 1/2 years and had no complaints; staff is just cleaning up the
ordinance.
ACTION: Motion to recommend Council approve, as the Board finds that this request for a Text
Amendment for Chapter 66 in the Town of Leland Code of Ordinances is:
1. Consistent with the Leland 2016 Master Plan, Action A6, which encourages
simplifying application processes and the 2018 Leland Zoning Ordinance; and
2. Reasonable and in the public interest because the proposed amendment will clarify
application processes and regulations for citizens and staff.
Motion: Richard Weinstein
Second: Robert Martin
Vote: UNANIMOUS
7. Old/New Business
None.
Mr. Penwell asked what the building was that was being built near Goodwill; the Planning Board
had previously approved apartments in that area. Ms. Pirozzi advised it was the club house for the
apartments.
Mr. Bryant stated near McGhee Market on Village Road they are clearing land; did the Planning
Board review that? Ms. Pirozzi replied that is Skylar's Cove.
Chairman Whitney asked about the Northgate drive status. Mr. Andrea advised staff would come
back next month with an update.
8.2 Planning and Inspections Monthly Update.
The Planning and Inspections Monthly Staff Report for April, 2019 was distributed with the agenda
