C) Public Comment
Please limit comments to matters other than those appearing on this agenda as a
Public Hearing. Public comments are limited to 3 minutes.
Mary Etheridge, Shawboro, spoke of a political meeting she attended where people were
encouraged to become more active in government and utilize public comment. She wants
people to be better informed, as she did not believe her life could have been so affected by
the Board of Commissioners when they approved a junkyard near her home. She has been
speaking at Commissioner meetings since July of 2013 because she wants Commissioners
to think before they treat another citizen like she was treated.
Roger Crafe, a member of the Corolla Civic Association and a private citizen, stated his
appreciation to Commissioners for construction of the bike path in Corolla. He also said the
beach cleanup is going well and that citizens like what Commissioners are doing in Corolla.
Bonnie Williams of Knotts Island said she is concerned about the rules and regulations for
the alcohol ordinance on the agenda and that the requirements would not be able to be met
for the upcoming Peach Festival.
Jim Wheeler of Moyock, referring to the Sheriff's Budget, said crime is not slowing down.
He asked the Board to give some thought to more pay and more people for the department.

Fred Waterfield, president of Knotts Island Ruritans, believes they have worked out the
provisions for some of the concerns with the rules and regulations for alcohol on county
facilities, particularly the thirty-day notice requirement.
Troy Moser of Moyock spoke in response to the denial of a permit for his shooting range.
He stated he has complied with all requirements and believes the denial is based on political
reasons and agendas, and was mishandled, costing him $40,000. Mr. Moser spoke of a
petition of support with 277 signatures, consisting primarily of Moyock Township and
Currituck residents, and wants Commissioners to readdress their decision, believing
Chairman O'Neal has a conflict of interest. Mr. Moser informed the Board a decibel level
test was performed by a Currituck Sheriff's Deputy and noise levels were within acceptable
range.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
A. Sterling Baker, NCDOT, to Present Maintenance Budget and 3-Year Resurfacing &
Retreatment Plan
Sterling Baker of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), introduced
Ronnie Sawyer, the new maintenance director, and announced some other personnel
changes at NCDOT. He distributed a packet to Commissioners which contained a budget
history and breakdown for each of the counties within the 14 county region and explained
the budget numbers and breakdown to the Board. He reviewed the Currituck County
spending plan for the 3-year retreatment or resurfacing. Mr. Baker described the types of
treatment and discussed mowing cycles. Commissioners asked about paving for specific
areas of the county, including Barco to Moyock and Knotts Island. The Board thanked
NCDOT, aware of budget constraints, and recognized our local maintenance supervisor,
Reggie Saunders, for the good work he does for the county. When asked about continued
striping and reflector installation on NC 168 & 158, Mr. Baker said he will get back to us on
scheduling.
B. Billy George-Presentation of Currituck YMCA Annual Report
Billy George, President of YMCA of South Hampton Roads, stated we hit our 400,000th visit
this month. He reported we are staying stable with over 1400 members, and described the
financial assistance numbers for reduced membership fees and a new reciprocity
agreement with other YMCA's all over the state. Mr. George reviewed the upcoming 20/20
plan to promote healthy living.
Dean Mattix, our Local Branch Executive, said he is proud of the partnership with the
county, cooperative extension and schools and of the opportunities that are created, citing
the example of free swimming lessons for kindergarten children.
Mr. George said the YMCA is fully funded with no taxpayer dollars. Chairman O'Neal said
the YMCA is a wonderful facility with a lot of activity and appreciates their efforts.

The 2006 Land Use Plan classifies the site as Rural within the Moyock subarea.
The policy emphasis of the Moyock sub-area is on properly managing the increased
urban level of growth that this area is sure to experience over the next decade and
beyond. Residential development densities should be medium to high depending
upon available services. In areas where on-site wastewater is proposed and other
County services are limited, development density should be limited to 1-2 units per
acre. However in areas where central sewer is proposed or existing, additional
services are available and the character of the surrounding areas supports it, higher
density ranging from 3-4 units per acre could be considered through the use of
overlay zones.
MOYOCK SAP:
The Moyock Small Area Plan classifies the property as Full Service.
Full Service designations are focal points in the community where high amounts of
activity occur. Mixed use development with both residential and commercial
components will be present in these areas. Typical densities in full service
designations range from 1.5 - 3 units per acre depending on surrounding land uses.
All development should encourage human scale development and interconnected
transportation systems that support both vehicles and pedestrians.
Policies supporting the request include:
Policy FLU 1 Promote compatibility between new development and existing
development to avoid adverse impacts to the existing community. This is achieved
through design and includes larger setbacks, landscaped or forested strips,
transition zones, fencing, screening, density and/or bulk step downs, or other
architectural and site planning measures that encourage harmony.

Mark Bissell presented a brief summary of the development proposal, along with a conceptual plan of the
development. Several comments were made about problems with existing drainage and wanted drainage
improvements.
TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The conditional zoning process provides an opportunity for an applicant to propose use limitations or
development conditions that ensure development proposals are consistent with the policies set forth in adopted
Final Minutes

plans. The TRC recommends approval of the proposed request provided the below staff comments are
addressed and can be agreed upon between the county and the applicant. The conditional rezoning request is
consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Land Use Plan and Moyock Small Area Plan, and is
compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the land subject to the application, and is the
appropriate zoning district and uses for the land.
Additional Staff Comments:

Although the conceptual development plan does include an area calculation table that includes the open
space calculation, the location is not visibly identified to ensure consistency with the subdivision plan
that will be submitted at a later date.
Sidewalks are proposed on both sides of the street within the development. The sidewalk is not
generally located within Dominion Power easement or the 15’ drainage and utility easement which could
place the sidewalk very close to the house and may be obstructed by vehicles parked in the driveway.
A trail system throughout the development may provide a pedestrian network within the development
that is safe and unobstructed.
Staff recommends the development schedule not include a specific year but reference Year 1, Year 2,
etc.
The development plan references lots proposed in the future development area but the plan does not
identify the roads or lot locations. Changes that materially affect the basic configuration of the approved
conceptual development plan are considered a major deviation and require an amendment of
development approval.
The development plan does meet the street connectivity score for the MXR zoning district. The plan
identifies two street connections to the northern property line. The western connection is proposed to a
developed lot and the eastern connection is proposed to an undeveloped lot. The connection to the
developed parcel does not appear to be the best location for street connection but does provide an
alternate access for the one developed lot. The UDO supports the street connectivity to be in each
direction where practicable and feasible that abuts lands that are undeveloped or partially undeveloped
and deemed appropriate for future development. In absence of a wetland delineation and based on the
UDO requirement a street connection should be provided to the property located on the east side of the
proposed development.
The Soil Survey of Currituck County does identify a majority of the soils within the development not
suitable for conventional on-site wastewater systems. An evaluation of the soils will occur with the
submittal of the preliminary plat and will require the on-site wastewater system (tank, lines, repair area,
pumps, etc.) to be located on the individual lots they are designed to serve. In addition, a reserve utility
open space easement shall be provided that provides an area suitable for a clustered or centralized
system if one becomes necessary in the future due to septic tank failure.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
Mr. Cartwright moved to approve PB 15-03 because it is consistent with the Land Use Plan/Moyock Small Area
Plan, and is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the land subject to the application, and is
the appropriate zoning district and uses for the land. Mr. Craddock seconded the motion.
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION (5-12-15)
Mr. Cooper asked if the access off Baxter Lane resolve any potential railroad crossing issues?
Ms. Voliva said it does. Ms. Voliva said the access for the commercial lot on Caratoke Hwy. Will be on
Caratoke Hwy.
Mr. Bissell provided an overview of the project including the following:
· Ideal site for a residential community with a higher level of design with all lots 20,000 sf.
· Commercial development on highway frontage.
· The design will provide for open space, buffers, community open spaces, stormwater management areas,
with attractive streets.
· The request is consistent with 2006 LUP and Moyock Small Area Plan.
· Two community meetings.
· Propose to make drainage improvements will solve the existing problems.
· Evaluate outlet ditch and straighten out ditch. Take drainage water to northeast.
The board discussed stormwater runoff, drainage improvements and issues, future development area, and
Baxter access.

Mr. Truran said he is concerned with drainage on his property during a hurricane or nor’easter this project
could increase drainage issues on his property. Mr. Truran provided pictures of his property during a
hurricane.
Mr. Cooper said the county recently adopted the new Stormwater Drainage Manual. The requirements of the
new Stormwater Drainage Manual will reduce some of the drainage issues that are present now.
Ms. Vaughan said she is concerned with drainage issues. Ms. Vaughan said if the new development will help
with the drainage issues, then everyone needs to work together so it can be accomplished.
Mr. Bissell said the new requirements of the Stormwater Drainage Manual these residents will see some relief
in the drainage issues.
Mr. Cooper asked when a drainage plan is designed who reviews and approves it.
Mr. Bissell said the county’s Technical Review Committee, Soil and Conservation, Planning, NCDOT, and the
state.
Mr. Cooper closed the public hearing.
Mr. Cartwright moved to approve PB 15-03 because it is consistent with the Land Use Plan/Moyock Small
Area Plan, and is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the land subject to the application,
and is the appropriate zoning district and uses for the land. Mr. Craddock seconded the motion.
At the close of Mr. Woody's presentation, Commissioner Hall clarified several aspects,
including lot sizes, lot sizes of neighboring properties, and the proposed commercial area.
Chairman O'Neal asked Mark Bissell, Bissell Professional Group, Kitty Hawk, to present his
findings and remarks for the applicant. Mr. Bissell reviewed the health department
requirements, open space, and the project's consistency with the Moyock Small Area Plan,
proposing 1.13 units per acre, considerably below the County recommendation. He
reviewed the comments from community meetings, stating most attendees expressed
concerns with stormwater draining. He discussed the willingness of the developer to
replace the pipe on Baxter, and showed a slide denoting the plan and location for installation
of the pipe which should provide relief to Baxter roadway area. Stormwater ponds would
reduce runoff from the site, he said, and all necessary agencies will be reviewing the
stormwater plan.
Board members asked questions about the Commercial use, to which Mr. Bissell said most
likely office space, but he was unsure at this time. Commissioner Aydlett wanted to ensure
the stormwater infrastructure maintenance was codified in homeowners association
covenants so residents are fully aware of their responsibilities.
Chairman O'Neal opened the Public Hearing.
Arlene Vaughn, 187 Caratoke Highway, Moyock, lives directly north of the proposed
development, and noted the project's acreage had changed since she attended the Planning
Board meeting. Mr. Bissell explained the purchase of additional property for access to
Baxter. Ms. Vaugn said her main concern is the drainage to the north, as there is a history
of the main drainage being blocked, causing flooding. She stated she has no problem with
development if that issue is resolved and no new problems are created. Chairman O'Neal
said he has seen the problem with standing water on Baxter Lane first hand. Mr. Woody
believes that replacing the culvert and other improvements will help with nuisance flooding.

Richard Truan, 151 Baxter Lane, expressed concerns with drainage and the homes or
possibility of homes being built on land surrounding his property. He believes people bought
three and ten acre lots for privacy. Mr. Truan said the map at the prior community meeting
was a different map then they are presenting now. Mr. Bissell and Justin Old, the
Developer, said that is not the case, that it is the same map that was distributed at the
meeting, as well as what was given to the Planning Board.
Mr. Bissell showed the aerial map and explained the location of where the drainage pipe
would be reinstalled. Questions were asked about drainage and the commercial property,
and whether residents would want to live up against a commercial property. Mr. Bissell said
no one had any objections at community meetings other than with drainage.
With no one else signed up to speak, Chairman O'Neal closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Gilbert moved to approve PB 15-03 rezoning. The motion failed due to lack
of second. Commissioner Hall moved to deny PB 15-03, which failed due to lack of second.
Commissioner Aydlett moved to continue to next meeting, affording the opportunity to clarify
any remaining questions. Commissioner Payment seconded the motion.

The 2006 Land Use Plan classifies the site as Rural within the Moyock
subarea.
The policy emphasis of the Moyock sub-area is on properly managing
the increased urban level of growth that this area is sure to experience
over the next decade and beyond. Residential development densities
should be medium to high depending upon available services. In areas
where on-site wastewater is proposed and other County services are
limited, development density should be limited to 1-2 units per acre.
However in areas where central sewer is proposed or existing, additional
services are available and the character of the surrounding areas
supports it, higher density ranging from 3-4 units per acre could be
considered through the use of overlay zones.

STAFF REPORT FOR THE
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
DATE: June 1, 2015
3.A.a
The Moyock Small Area Plan classifies the property as Full Service.
Full Service designations are focal points in the community where high
amounts of activity occur. Mixed use development with both residential
and commercial components will be present in these areas. Typical
densities in full service designations range from 1.5 – 3 units per acre
depending on surrounding land uses.
All development should
encourage human scale development and interconnected transportation
systems that support both vehicles and pedestrians.
Policies supporting the request include:
Policy FLU 1 Promote compatibility between new development and
existing development to avoid adverse impacts to the existing
community. This is achieved through design and includes larger
setbacks, landscaped or forested strips, transition zones, fencing,
screening, density and/or bulk step downs, or other architectural and site
planning measures that encourage harmony.
CURRENT ZONING:

determined after engineering evaluation.
4. Preform an evaluation of existing main ditch along Truran/Ward property line from site to
Baxter’s Lane and if warranted, seek permission to improve ditch cross-section.
5. Explore the possibility of routing a portion of stormwater runoff to the northeast.
6. All residential development will be single family and will conform to sample building
elevations provided.
COMMUNITY MEETING:
Two community meetings were held on February 19, 2015 and again on April 16, 2015 at the
Moyock Library. Mark Bissell presented a brief summary of the development proposal, along
with a conceptual plan of the development. Several comments were made about problems with
existing drainage and wanted drainage improvements.
TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The conditional zoning process provides an opportunity for an applicant to propose use
limitations or development conditions that ensure development proposals are consistent with the
policies set forth in adopted plans. The TRC recommends approval of the proposed request
provided the below staff comments are addressed and can be agreed upon between the county
and the applicant. The conditional rezoning request is consistent with the goals, objectives,
and policies of the Land Use Plan and Moyock Small Area Plan, and is compatible with existing
and proposed uses surrounding the land subject to the application, and is the appropriate
zoning district and uses for the land.
Additional Staff Comments:
1. Although the conceptual development plan does include an area calculation table that
includes the open space calculation, the location is not visibly identified to ensure
consistency with the subdivision plan that will be submitted at a later date.
2. Sidewalks are proposed on both sides of the street within the development.
The
sidewalk is not generally located within Dominion Power easement or the 15’ drainage
Page 3 of 10
Packet Pg. 29
3.A.a

5.
6.
and utility easement which could place the sidewalk very close to the house and may be
obstructed by vehicles parked in the driveway. A trail system throughout the
development may provide a pedestrian network within the development that is safe and
unobstructed.
Staff recommends the development schedule not include a specific year but reference
Year 1, Year 2, etc.
The development plan references lots proposed in the future development area but the
plan does not identify the roads or lot locations. Changes that materially affect the basic
configuration of the approved conceptual development plan are considered a major
deviation and require an amendment of development approval.
The development plan does meet the street connectivity score for the MXR zoning
district. The plan identifies two street connections to the northern property line. The
western connection is proposed to a developed lot and the eastern connection is
proposed to an undeveloped lot. The connection to the developed parcel does not
appear to be the best location for street connection but does provide an alternate access
for the one developed lot. The UDO supports the street connectivity to be in each
direction where practicable and feasible that abuts lands that are undeveloped or
partially undeveloped and deemed appropriate for future development. In absence of a
wetland delineation and based on the UDO requirement a street connection should be
provided to the property located on the east side of the proposed development.
The Soil Survey of Currituck County does identify a majority of the soils within the
development not suitable for conventional on-site wastewater systems. An evaluation of
the soils will occur with the submittal of the preliminary plat and will require the on-site
wastewater system (tank, lines, repair area, pumps, etc.) to be located on the individual
lots they are designed to serve. In addition, a reserve utility open space easement shall
be provided that provides an area suitable for a clustered or centralized system if one
becomes necessary in the future due to septic tank failure.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
Mr. Cartwright moved to approve PB 15-03 because it is consistent with the Land Use
Plan/Moyock Small Area Plan, and is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding
the land subject to the application, and is the appropriate zoning district and uses for the land.
Mr. Craddock seconded the motion.

PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION (5-12-15)
Mr. Cooper asked if the access off Baxter Lane resolve any potential railroad crossing
issues?
Mr. Bissell provided an overview of the project including the following:
·
Ideal site for a residential community with a higher level of design with all lots 20,000 sf.
·
Commercial development on highway frontage.
·
The design will provide for open space, buffers, community open spaces, stormwater
management areas, with attractive streets.
·
The request is consistent with 2006 LUP and Moyock Small Area Plan.
·
Two community meetings.
·
Propose to make drainage improvements will solve the existing problems.
·
Evaluate outlet ditch and straighten out ditch. Take drainage water to northeast.
The board discussed stormwater runoff, drainage improvements and issues, future
development area, and Baxter access.
Mr. Truran said he is concerned with drainage on his property during a hurricane or
nor’easter this project could increase drainage issues on his property. Mr. Truran provided
pictures of his property during a hurricane.
Mr. Cooper said the county recently adopted the new Stormwater Drainage Manual. The
requirements of the new Stormwater Drainage Manual will reduce some of the drainage
issues that are present now.
Ms. Vaughan said she is concerned with drainage issues. Ms. Vaughan said if the new
development will help with the drainage issues, then everyone needs to work together so it
can be accomplished.
Mr. Bissell said the new requirements of the Stormwater Drainage Manual these residents
will see some relief in the drainage issues.
Mr. Cooper asked when a drainage plan is designed who reviews and approves it.
Mr. Bissell said the county’s Technical Review Committee, Soil and Conservation, Planning,
NCDOT, and the state.
Mr. Cartwright moved to approve PB 15-03 because it is consistent with the Land Use
Plan/Moyock Small Area Plan, and is compatible with existing and proposed uses

Minutes – Regular Meeting of the Board of Commissioners
WORK SESSION
The Board of Commissioners attended a work session to discuss the county's solar array
ordinance. Ben Woody, Director of Planning and Inspections, presented a comparative
study between the Currituck County ordinance created by the Planning Department and the
solar energy development ordinance template created by various state agencies. Mr.
Woody provided a side by side comparison using powerpoint. Mr. Woody noted some minor
differences, highlighting the county's ground water requirement and performance guarantee
for decommissioning. At the close of the presentation and after discussion amongst Board
members, Commissioners tasked the Planning Department staff with researching other
counties and their requirements for water testing, decommissioning and disposal, setbacks,
and schedules of values for tax determination. The Board also requested identification of
areas in the county conducive to solar development, and perhaps increasing the notification
requirements for surrounding residents and property owners based on the size of the
project.

Ben Woody, Director of Planning and Inspections, prior to reviewing the applicant's request,
asked if the Board would allow a vote on each item rather than the entire request. The
Board agreed.
Subject:
PB 14-23 Justin Old Text Amendment, Revised
At the Planning Board meeting on December 9, 2014, Items 2 and 4 of this text amendment
submitted by Justin Old were reviewed. At that time, the Planning Board approved Item 2 and
requested that Mr. Old work with Planning staff to address some concerns regarding Item 4 of his
request. In addition, Items 1 and 3 were not heard by the Planning Board in order to provide staff
with additional time to address some legal concerns. Planning staff has met with Mr. Old and is now
submitting the revised amendment to the Planning Board. Items 1, 3, and 4 are being submitted for
recommendation. Since the Planning Board meeting on February 10, 2015, staff has been working
with Mr. Old to develop language for Item 1 that adequately addresses the staff and developer
concerns.

Currituck County
May 18, 2015
Item 1: PB 14-23 Street Connectivity
Mr. Woody reviewed the street connectivity portion of the amendment request. He
explained the connectivity challenges to the Board and recounted what his staff has been
working on with Mr. Old, which was to find a way to connect subdivisions built by multiple
developers.
Item 1
The current UDO requires the subdivider to post a performance guarantee when street stubs do
not terminate at the property line (i.e. edge of a drainage swale or ditch). Generally, most tracts of
land contain an existing boundary ditch that defines a property line. In these situations external
street connection improvements can’t terminate at the center of the ditch without the abutting
property owner’s permission and cooperation, and when that can not be achieved, it requires the
subdivider to post a performance guarantee for the uninstalled infrastructure. The UDO requires
the improvements, subject to a performance guarantee, to be installed within two years of approval
of the final plat or three years if an extension of the performance guarantee term is granted by the
Planning Director. The current requirement does present a problem if the abutting tract is not
developed during the term of the guarantee.
Staff Concerns:
Initially, planning staff recommended a payment-in-lieu of construction of infrastructure. The North
Carolina General Statutes mandate how the funds can be used, and special legislation is required
for the funds to be used by any entity other than a municipality. Payments-in-lieu of construction
can be held by the county but, the General Statutes do not allow a county to disburse funds or
construct the improvements. The county commissioners will be asking the General Assembly
during this session for special legislation that would allow counties to utilize funds received for
uninstalled infrastructure to be used to connect streets and other infrastructure.
Mr. Old does
not support the payment-in-lieu of option proposed by planning staff and asks the board to
consider addressing the performance guarantee term requirements.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendment provided the subdivider establishes a
payment-in-lieu of construction or a long term performance guarantee to be held by the county to
ensure future connections (streets, sidewalks, and utilities) to abutting properties are installed due
to its consistency with the Land Use Plan and the request is reasonable and in the public interest
because it will ensure efficient and orderly development in the county by accepting payment for
infrastructure improvements in the event the subdivider cannot obtain authorization from the
adjacent land owner. It also provides a cohesive vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
If the Board maintains the performance guarantee requirement, additional text must be provided in
Section 6.3 of the UDO and require a long term performance guarantee for extensions to the
property line. If the Board requests a payment-in-lieu of improvements, additional text must be
provided to create the allowance.
6.2.5.

Payments-In-Lieu of Construction
A. General
In the event subdivision infrastructure construction (transportation and
utilities) does not extend to the property boundary due to a drainage swale,
ditch, topography, or other natural condition, a payment-in-lieu shall be
Page 4
Updated 5/29/2015 3:08 PM
Packet Pg. 52
The proposed text amendment is intended to require future external street connections terminating
at a drainage swale or ditch to post performance guarantees and abutting new development would
connect and construct to the stubbed streets, sidewalks, and utilities. The request would allow the
infrastructure to terminate five feet from a drainage ditch or swale located along a property line.
5.F.1.1

provided instead of infrastructure improvements in accordance with the
provisions of this section.
B. Amount of Payment
The payment-in-lieu shall be in an amount equal to 115% percent of the
estimated full cost of completing the installation of the required
improvements, including the costs of materials, labor, and project
management. The estimated costs for completing the infrastructure shall be
itemized by improvement type and certified by the owner’s or developer’s
licensed professional engineer.
Planning Board Recommendation (2.10.15)
Mr. Craddock moved to table that a payment-in-lieu be charged until such time as the General
Assembly passes the special legislation that would allow counties to utilize funds received for
uninstalled infrastructure to be used to connect streets and other infrastructure. Mr. Craddock
moved to approve Item 1 to change the performance bond time duration from two years to five
years with an extension up to five years with the Planning Director's approval; run the streets and
sidewalks up to the edge of the drainage easement; and the performance bonds be changed to
cash as a form of payment instead of a letter-of-credit. Mr. Whiteman seconded the motion and
motion carried.
Mark Bissell of Bissell Professional Group suggests allowing a long-term performance
guarantee such as a bond or letter of credit would help with a developer's cash flow, calling
these more development friendly. Mr. Woody said that a letter of credit was an approved
method by state statute. The Board asked if staff would have issues with tracking these
payment methods, to which Mr. Woody answered the challenge isn't the tracking, but would
be if something happens to the developer, such as a change in ownership, bankruptcy or
inability to renew a line of credit.
After discussion, Chairman O'Neal opened and closed the Public Hearing, as no one was
signed up to speak.
Commissioner Beaumont moved to approve this text amendment to the UDO, with a
payment in lieu for connectivity rather than a performance bond or letter of credit.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hall and carried unanimously.

Mr. Bissell stated he and the applicant are in sync with staff recommendations.
Item 2
The proposed text amendment is intended to modify the farmland compatibility standards by reducing the
minimum planting size standards in the buffer, clarifying where planted vegetation can be located in the
buffer, and allowing evergreen species.
Staff Concerns:
 Height and Tree Types
Typically, pine trees grow to a height above 40 feet and do not offer adequate screening and are
vulnerable during high winds. Large trees that grow to a height greater than 50 feet could present a
problem for farming operations.
 Number or Spacing of Trees
The appropriate number of planted trees/seedlings may require further discussion. There are two
types of planting specifications for seedlings; reforestation and wildlife enhancement. Listed below

Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendment and does agree that some evergreen tree
species may be appropriate in the farmland buffer due to the consistency with the Land Use Plan and that the
request is reasonable and in the public interest because it provides an economical option for landscape
buffers on lands adjacent to active farmland and results in a logical and orderly development pattern.
Mr. Cooper moved to approve PB 14-23, Item 2 (Farmland Buffer) due to the consistency with the 2006 Land
Use Plan and that the request is reasonable and in the public interest because it provides an economical
option for landscape buffers on lands adjacent to active farmland results in a logical and orderly development
pattern; and 14 trees per 100 linear feet, no pine trees, and up to 50% with evergreen tree species in the
farmland buffer. Mr. Craddock seconded the motion and motion carried unanimously.
With no one signed up to speak, Chairman O'Neal opened and closed the Public
Hearing.
Commissioner Gilbert moved to approve with staff recommendations. Commissioner
Aydlett seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

The current UDO requires 15 ACI of canopy trees for every 100 linear feet of buffer length. In addition, the
Administrative Manual requires canopy trees to have a minimum planting size of 2 caliper inches. The
proposed amendment would allow for more uniform plantings with smaller tree species, including seedlings
that can be obtained from NC Forest Service. The use of evergreen species could provide for a year-around
buffer depending on the species.

Item 3: PB 14-23
Requirements
Maintenance transfer to Homeowners and Fund Balance
Item 3
The proposed text amendment is intended to increase the lot sales percentage from 51% to 75%
in a subdivision that requires the subdivider to transfer maintenance responsibility to the
homeowner’s or property owner’s association and clarify the reserve fund responsibilities. In
addition, the applicant is concerned with the report that must be commissioned by an engineer
prior to transfer to the association. Clarifications on the contents of the report as well as the
ability to provide information not certified by an engineer are among those concerns.
Staff Concerns:
The purpose of the engineer’s report is to identify any deficiencies that must be corrected by the
developer prior to transfer to the association. The applicant is concerned that an engineer may
miss an item that ultimately could result in a road that may not be accepted by NCDOT. Staff
could clarify the contents of the report, but we do support retaining the language in the UDO that
requires the engineer’s report.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendment that increases the lot sales
percentage from 51% to 75% and clarification of the reserve fund responsibilities due to the
consistency with the Land Use Plan and that the request is reasonable and in the public interest
because it addresses a demonstrated community need by clarifying and defining the fund
balance for homeowner’s associations and at a percentage that can adequately accept and
maintain the private infrastructure. However, staff requests the requirement for the engineer’s
report remain in the UDO.
Mr. Cooper moved to approve PB 14-23, Item 3 that increases the lot sales percentage from 51%
to 75%, engineering certificate, road right-of-way and drainage in road right-of-way option for an
engineer report that says it meets Unified Development requirements as originally designed and
approved or, a NCDOT letter saying the infrastructure meets their standards as far as outside the
right-of-way drainage would require an engineer certificate dated anytime within the previously
twelve months saying the drainage as designed and installed is working properly and meets the
Unified Development requirements. Mr. Whiteman seconded the motion and motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Whiteman moved to recommend to change the reserve fund balance to operating fund
balance. Mr. Craddock seconded the motion and motion carried unanimously.

Item 4: PB 14-23 Directional Real Estate Signage
Mr. Woody reviewed the final item with the Board pertaining to directional real estate
signs, and a request to allow additional signage for subdivisions located off of the
highway. The Planning Board, on a split vote, recommended denial of this portion of the
application. Staff also recommended denial.
Item 4
The proposed text amendment is intended to allow directional subdivision real estate signs at
intersections of the road accessing the subdivision entrance.
Staff Concerns:
The increase in the number of signs near major intersections allows for off-site advertising and
commercializes the landscape of the county which is considered inconsistent with the purpose
and intent of the UDO and goals and objectives Land Use Plan policies. In an effort to address
staff concerns, Mr. Old did agree to establish a timeframe for the signs, reduce the size, and limit
the number of signs per subdivision.
Staff recommends denial of the proposed text amendment due to its inconsistency with the Land
Use Plan, its inconsistency with the purpose and intent of Section 5.12 of the UDO, and it is not
reasonable and in the public interest because it does not result in a logical and efficient

Mr. Bissell, speaking of an upcoming project with its own private water system that falls
under a state requirement for a reserve fund, suggested amending the language to take
into account items that are state regulated. Mr. Woody said he didn't have any issue
with amending the language for that purpose. Eric Weatherly, County Engineer, who
was in the audience, stated he had no concerns with amended language either, when
asked by the Board. Mr. Bissell asked if there was a way to guarantee the money
remaining in the fund is utilized for its intended purpose. County Attorney, Ike McRee,

The
LUP POLICY CA4: SIGN POLICIES AND STANDARDS should be established and
periodically updated to enhance community appearance and create a quality
business image. Such standards may be tailored to achieve different development
characters for different parts of the county.
Mr. Craddock moved to deny PB 14-23, Item 4 due to its inconsistency with sign policies and
standards and it does create aesthetic problems with the highway corridor. Ms. Overstreet
seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Commissioner Aydlett asked what signage was currently allowed. Mr. Woody said signs
on the property were permitted, or renting a billboard to direct people to the property.
No off-premise signage is permitted. Chairman O'Neal stated the Planning Board
comments concerning clutter on the highway.
Justin Old said real estate generates a lot of income for the county, and stated
billboards don't generate the same amount of traffic to a sub-division that a sign at an
intersection can. He believes the current policy that exempts farm markets is unfair to
those trying to sell real estate.
Chairman O'Neal opened and closed the public hearing, with no one signed up to

Use Permit Criteria and Staff Findings:
Use permits (UP) are intended to allow the Board of Commissioners flexibility in the administration
of the UDO. Through the UP procedure, property uses which would otherwise be considered
undesirable in certain districts can be developed subject to conditions of approval to minimize any
negative effects they might have on surrounding properties.
In order to approve a UP, certain criteria must be satisfied. The criteria and staff findings of fact are
outlined as follows:
1.
The use will not endanger the public health or safety.
It is staff’s opinion that the evidence in the record, prepared in absence of testimony
presented at a public hearing, supports the finding that the use will not endanger the public
health or safety.
Preliminary Staff Findings:
a. The use will adhere to county health and safety standards.
The propose
interconnectivity between subdivisions without another connection onto Caratoke
Highway is a safety advantage. The project should not adversely affect the public health
or safety.
2.
The use will not injure the value of adjoining or abutting lands and will be in harmony with the
area in which it is located.
presented at a public hearing, supports the finding that the use will not injure the value of
adjoining or abutting lands and will be in harmony with the area in which it is located.
a. Tracts to the north, south, and east have been developed into single-family homes. This
tract will be developed in a manner that is similar to other developments in the area. A
50’ wetland buffers is provided.
b. The use will not injure the value of adjoining or abutting lands and will be in harmony
with the area.
3.
The use will be in conformity with the Land Use Plan or other officially adopted plan.
presented at a public hearing, supports the finding that the use will be in conformity with
the Moyock Small Area Plan and other officially adopted plans.
The 2014 Moyock Small Area Plan also classifies this site as Full Service.
The Full Service area identifies typical density designations ranging from 1.5-3 units per
acre. Interconnectivity is encouraged that interconnects transportation systems that
support both vehicles and pedestrians.
The proposed use is in keeping with the policies of the plan, some of which are:

interconnectivity between subdivisions in Moyock that would eliminate another connection onto
Caratoke Highway and allow cross traffic between the subdivisions without accessing Caratoke
Highway. Both the Land Use Plan and the Moyock Small Area Plan support interconnectivity.
The applicant is proposing to build this connecting road across Shingle Landing’s open space
that the county owns. Shingle Landing provided the minimum amount of open space required,
so there is no ‘extra’ open space to be sold to the applicant on which to build the road. The
applicant has suggested that he is willing to take the extra open space from his subdivision and
transfer it to the Shingle Landing open space to come up with the acreage needed to build the
road. Several things to consider:
a. A road cannot be built in open space and would have to be owned by the applicant.
b. The county cannot own the road and the open space is currently owned by the county.
c. The county must agree to the transfer of open space between the open space owned in
Shingle Landing and the same amount owned by the applicant in the proposed subdivision.
d. The final plat for Shingle Landing would have to be amended to show the proposed change
and re-recorded in the Register of Deeds office.

POLICY TR 2: Ensure that all development is designed with an interconnected, multi-modal
transportation network between neighborhoods, activity centers, and other destinations
to improve mobility and emergency access. Development of an interconnected road
network east and west of Highway 168 that allows north-south movement for local
residential traffic is strongly encouraged.
4.
The use will not exceed the county's ability to provide adequate public facilities, including, but
not limited to, schools, fire and rescue, law enforcement, and other county facilities. Applicable
state standards and guidelines shall be followed for determining when public facilities are
adequate.
presented at a public hearing, supports the finding that the use will not exceed the county’s
ability to provide adequate public facilities, including but not limited to schools, fire and

Shingle Landing’s open space that is county owned requires the following considerations:
a. A road cannot be built in open space and would have to be owned by the applicant.
b. The county cannot own the road and the open space is currently owned by the county.
c. The county must agree to the transfer of open space between the open space the
county owns in Shingle Landing and the same amount owned by the applicant in this
proposed subdivision.
d. The final plat for Shingle Landing would have to be amended to show the proposed
change and re-recorded in the Register of Deeds office.
2. The county will be accepting a fee-in-lieu ($24,389.00) of recreation and park area dedication.
(UDO Section 6.5)
3. All conditional zoning conditions apply to this subdivision

Planning Board Discussion (4.14.15)
Mark Bissell, Bissell Professional Group, and Ms. Glave appeared before the board and were sworn in.
Ms. Glave presented the staff report.
The board discussed the connecting road across Shingle Landing's open space that the county owns.
Shingle Landing provided the minimum amount of open space required, so there is no 'extra' open space
to be sold to the applicant on which to build the road. The applicant is suggesting to take the extra open
space from his subdivision and transfer it to the Shingle Landing open space to come up with the
acreage needed to build the road. If the road swap does occur Ms. Glave pointed out where the new open
space will be located for Shingle Landing.
Mr. Bissell provided an overview of the proposed project. Mr. Bissell said wetlands have been identified,
access to the subdivision addressed, heritage trees identified, stormwater runoff addressed, railroad
crossing eliminated, they are constructing homes similar to surrounding area, and the applicant agrees
with staff recommendations. Mr. Bissell said the crossing for the railroad would be left for emergency
vehicles and would not be part of the subdivision road.
Mr. Bell moved to approve PB 15-02 due to its consistency with the 2006 Land Use Plan, findings of fact
and staff recommendations included in the staff report. Mr. Cartwright seconded the motion and motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Woody, after review, spent some time on the connectivity for the subdivision and went
over the options proposed by the developer. Slides were shown denoting the proposed
accesses, and after explanation of options and some discussion, the Board supported the
recommendations of Mr. Woody, County Attorney Ike McRee and County Manager Dan
Scanlon, all of whom suggested option B for connectivity, that being running the right of way
from Arrowhead Lane southward to Moyock Landing Drive, with conditions that the
developer must have legal ability to build the road, bringing deeds of trust and right of way
and land swap approvals before the Board in order to move forward.
Mr. Woody, when asked by Commissioner Gilbert, said a traffic light would not yet be
required at Moyock Landing Drive, as he believes there would need to be more traffic than
the subdivision would create. He also clarified the developer would not be able to use
Moyock Landing Drive for their construction vehicles.
Mr. Bissell presented a power point showing the site and the development plan. Tree
preservation was highlighted and buffering and amenities were reviewed. He explained the
lot sizes were smaller, but design allowed for more open space and a reduction in density.
Mr. Bissell said the railroad crossing will be used for construction traffic as well as
emergency vehicle ingress and egress. He showed a typical home that will be constructed
and showed a side by side connectivity comparison, and said the developer has offered to
construct the connecting road at his expense to Moyock Landing Drive if the Board prefers
that option. Mr. Bissell summarized, stating the subdivision is consistent with the land use
plan and meets or exceeds all of the zoning conditions.
Home size and roadway width were questioned by the Board. Mr Bissell said roads would
be 26 feet curb to curb, believed to be standard NC Department of Transportation roadway
width. Concerns were raised over the position of homes from the road and whether parking

in driveways may block sidewalk access. Mr. Bissell said the homes would have garages
and would allow for two additional cars in the driveway. He also confirmed there would be a
straight trade of land for land with regard to the deeded row. Mr. Bissell believes this
subdivision will achieve the small town, Main Street feel, as described in a Land Use Policy
consistency statement in the Moyock Small Area Plan.
Commissioner Gilbert moved to approve PB 15-02, Hidden Oaks, stating it will not endanger
public health or safety, will not injure the value of adjoining abutting lands, is in conformity
with the land use and small area plan, and will not exceed the county's ability to provide
adequate facilities. The motion includes the connectivity option of Arrowhead and Moyock
Landing Drive, with condition that the applicant must have the legal ability for ingress and
egress to subdivisions from Arrowhead and Moyock Landing Drive.

A) Watermen United
Perry Wood Beasley, Sr., a former Currituck resident, asked the Board to support on
southern flounder issue. He explained what his group does and their representation of local
fishermen. He said they have been visiting with other counties to gain support. They want
to keep the status quo with regard to flounder catch and oppose the changes proposed by
Marine Fisheries.
Andrew Berry spoke of the negative affect of the southern flounder regulations Marine
Fisheries are trying to implement. He reviewed some statistics with the Board, stating many
restrictions have been placed on them. Size limits would increase to 18 inches, with the
average size catch typically being 16 inches.
Chairman O'Neal stated the commercial fishermen have no resources nor representation on
the board and the recreational side gets a lot of money from large companies who support
their interests. There was discussion of education and that the public is not aware how
commercial fishing is run. Mr. Berry said the entire fishing industry is run by proclamation,
which were put in place to be used in emergency situations.
Fred Waterfield, who served on the NC Division of Marine Fisheries Board for 12 years,
serving on the flounder commission and rockfish commission, believes someone in
North Carolina must be way over their quota in order for such restrictions to be placed
on fishing.

1. A Resolution Asking the NC Marine Fisheries Commission (NCMFC) to NOT
Support the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) Use of the Supplement
Process to Implement Reductions of Southern Flounder
Chairman O'Neal reviewed the Resolution on the Consent Agenda, asked for it to be
removed from Consent Agenda and voted on.
WHEREAS, the southern flounder fishery is regionally diverse throughout Currituck County and
statewide with regard to gear, timing of harvest and size of fish harvested; and
WHEREAS, the southern flounder fishery is a $5.6 million fishery for NC commercial fishermen
and the economic impact of the region would be devastating if harvest cuts of 25% to 60% are
implemented by NCMFC; and
WHEREAS, recent NCDMF stock assessment report did not pass peer review and the harvest
reduction parameters are arbitrary and subjective and not based on stakeholder input; and
WHEREAS, the supplement process disenfranchises stakeholders because of lack of public input;
and
WHEREAS, Currituck County’s commercial fishermen have already made their investments for
the fall 2015 season that will not be able to be recovered, which subjects them to a double
economic hit that will be catastrophic for these small businesses; and
WHEREAS, there is need for thoughtful, arid, comprehensive review of any proposed measure
to assess the long-term viability of the fishery, and that review must incorporate stakeholder
input.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Currituck County Board of Commissioners asks the
NC Marine Fisheries Commission to not support the NC Division of Marine Fisheries use of the
supplement process to implement reductions of southern flounder and that any proposal to
limit the fishery be subjected to comprehensive review that includes stakeholder input.

Mr. McRee reviewed the purpose of the Ordinance requested by the Tourism Director,
Tameron Kugler, to allow alcohol at certain county facilities for certain functions. Use was
requested for four particular parks, and Mr. McRee explained the County would come back
before the Board with specific rules and regulations if the Ordinance is passed. An
Ordinance must be voted unanimously at its first reading, and if not, can be passed by a
simple majority at a second reading, he explained. The four parks requested were the
Knotts Island Ruritan Park, the Currituck County Rural Center, the Soundside Park, and the
Historic Corolla Park.
Commissioners asked why Maple Park and the Cooperative Extension facility were not
included. Chairman O'Neal explained those places were not included due to the
concentration of children at those facilities and the Board did not feel it was consistent
with the use.
Commissioner Aydlett, based on the earlier comment by Ruritans and the Tourism
Department, moved to approve. Commissioner Gilbert seconded, asking Commissioner
Aydlett to include ensuring they included only permitted events. A security requirement
was discussed, and Mr. McRee said security could be addressed as part of the rules
and regulations.
A second reading will be necessary due to the votes opposing by Chairman O'Neal and

F) Commissioner's Report
Commissioner Gilbert wanted to go on record that she would like to have the Planning
Department staff review the Unified Development Ordinance to perhaps update and
enhance the language with regard to outdoor shooting ranges. She feels the language
needs to be more defined.
Chairman O'Neal seconded the motion.
Commissioner Griggs believed the request should be more specific to have some sort of
direction for the planning dept. Chairman O'Neal said one issue was noise, and said
noise abatement standards should be incorporated for anything that makes noise.
Commissioner Gilbert confirmed she wants the outdoor shooting ranges language
looked at. Commissioner Aydlett said he has no problem sending the current ordinance
back for review and have the planning staff make recommendations to address
secondary impacts.
The motion carried unanimously.
