McLaughlin, Development & Planning Administrator, Town of Hope Mills Sign Ordinance Text Amendment The following memo outlines basic information tied to an amendment to the Town of Hope Mills Sign Ordinance. Background As it relates to the Town of Hope Mills Sign Ordinance, the Board of Commissioners and staff conducted a series of work session over the past year to address issues throughout the area related to signs. Developers and business owners were also directly engaged to ensure that concerns that they had were addressed as well. The most recent work session was conducted on February 7, 2019 with the Board of Commissioners officially directing staff at the February 18, 2019 Board Meeting to send the draft changes to Cumberland County Staff to begin the process of full adoption. Recent Activity At the March 19, 2019 meeting, the Cumberland County Joint Planning Board met to consider the proposed amendments to Article XIV of the Town of Hope Mills Sign Ordinance. The following is a brief outline of the major aspects of the proposed changes: 1. Pole signs are now removed from this section, limiting all new proposed freestanding signs to ground signs; 2. Temporary real estate sales signs will have a maximum of 16 square feet in sign area and temporary banners will be allowed now for a period of 90 days. 3. Political signs will be allowed at polling places not designated as one stop voting no sooner than 5pm the day before elections and must be removed within 24 hours of the close of the election. 4. Ground sign height and minimum setbacks from right of way will now be determined by the number of occupants on the parcel on which the sign will be installed. Maximum allowable sign area is reduced in all districts for pole signs. 5. Sign maintenance and appearance standards are added to allow the removal of signs in disrepair or blocked from view vegetation.

26 6. Bill boards will now only be allowed within 1,500 feet from the right-of-way of freeways. 7. Signs attached to or painted on utility poles, telephone poles, trees, parking meters, bridges and overpasses are now listed under prohibited signs. Town Staff Recommendation: Approval Action Motions: Approval with the following motion as recommended by the Cumberland County Joint Planning Board on March 19, 2019: Motion: In case P18-40, the Town of Hope Mills Board of Commissioners votes to approve the text amendment to the Hope Mills Zoning Ordinance finding it is consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan designated as the 2030 Grown Vision plan, specifically including: Policy Area 9: Compatible Commercial Development & Services and Policy Area 10; Attractive Community Appearance & Image. The porposed amendment is also generally consistent with the Southwest Cumberland Land Use Plan (2014) in that one of the adopted goals and objectives of the plan strives to enhance community appearance and reduce sign clutter along major thoroughfares; and further find that approval of the amdenment is reasonable and in the public interest because the amendment if approved, would enable the town to enforece sign regulations that are consistent with the image the town is seeking to project in their commercial areas. Additionally, this amendment was prepared and submitted by the Town of Hope Mills.

The embankment will be resloped and will result in a safer and more aesthetic looking lake front. The sod should not be planted in the winter months and should be planted as soon as the project is completed. The contractor will be responsible for irrigation for the first thirty days following the installation. We will be consulting with a landscaping architect for irrigation proposals and will bring forth to the Board of Commissioners. The contractor will work as expeditiously as possible, weather permitting, to complete the project in a timely manner. There really is no optimal time for the lake to be closed for boating and swimming. While we understand there will be some inconvenience to the citizens and the many 4

56 people that come to use our lake, the project will result in a safer environment and help to mitigate any further erosion damage to the lake embankment. Kayak and canoe access will be allowed to the greatest extent possible dependent upon work location and progress. The Town would like to thank the citizens in advance, for their patience and understanding for the duration of this project. Commissioner Bellflowers commented the main reason for this project is safety and a project like this should not be rushed. b. Update on the Internal Investigation. Town Attorney Hartzog commented Attorney Jim Cauley indicated his investigation is nearly complete but has two to three additional interviews he wishes to conduct. Attorney Hartzog is working to facilitate those interviews. Anticipated completion of the investigation is projected for the next two to three weeks. 7. NEW BUSINESS: a.

Town Manager Adams responded McAdams indicated that based on the information presented and previous discussions with the Town s PARTF representative, the scope of work would not provide for the strongest application. Volume 30 Regular Meeting April 1,

57 Discussion pursued regarding the May 1, 2019 deadline for submitting the PARTF Grant application and providing McAdams with the necessary information, that had been provided to Rachel Cotter, on what to submit. c. Discussion of Entrance to Golf Course; as requested by Commissioner Larson. Town Manager Adams commented NCDOT approved a temporary driveway location and Freese and Nichols is working up a site plan for the formal NCDOT submittal. Once the site plan has been submitted, the next step will be formal engineering plans to be drawn up. Commissioner Larson inquired a timeline and if we are too late for a grant submission date. Public Works Director Don Sisko responded it will take thirty to forty days for NCDOT to review and a couple of weeks to receive the site plan from Freese and Nichols. Commissioner Bellflowers inquired if the Golf Course Master Plan has been shared with NCDOT and if discussions have occurred as to where they approve placing entrances. Public Works Director Sisko responded a site plan overview was shared with NCDOT and ultimately the Fairview Drive entrance came into consideration. Commissioner Bellflowers inquired if NCDOT provides recommended locations. Public Works Director Sisko responded that is not how they operate; the Town must request where we wish for the parking lot to be located for NCDOT to review. Mayor Warner inquired the estimated cost of the temporary road and parking lot. Public Works Director Sisko responded with the asphalt work and grading it will cost around $100,000. Mayor Warner and Commissioner Edwards were in agreement the $100,000 for a temporary driveway would be better spent towards Heritage Park. The consensus of the Board was for Town Manager Adams to reach out to Rachel Cotter with McAdams Group to provide ideas for driveway locations and to discuss the possibility of a PARTF grant for the driveway project. 8.

75 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Honorable Mayor & Board of Commissioners Melissa P. Adams, Town Manager DATE: April 10, 2019 SUBJECT: Update on the State Restoration Inspection of the Episcopal Parish House Mr. Jeff Adolphsen, the NCDNCR- State Historic Preservation Office, Restoration Specialist for Cumberland County was here on Tuesday, April 9, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. to conduct his inspection of the Episcopal Parrish House. In attendance for the Inspection were Town Manager Melissa Adams, PW Director Don Sisko, Chief Building Inspector Ray Reeves, Historic Preservation Commission Member Mason Steele, Grilley Mitchell, Rod MacLean, and Commissioner Larson was present for an introduction and left shortly afterwards. When asked if he was going to prepare a written report, Mr. Adolphsen replied no, he does not compile the information into a written report. Based on our conversation with Mr. Adolphsen, here are his findings and recommendations: Mr. Adolphsen looked under the crawl spaces from the openings under the building and saw termite damage, but no moisture. He identified roofing deficiencies; and deficiencies around the chimney, as it needs flashing and counter flashing. He recommended removing the aluminum siding on the exterior of the building in order to evaluate the wooden siding. He identified the wooden deck as being built independently from the main structure. Recommended that the gutters needed to be evaluated. Recommended removing the bottom pieces of wood siding to evaluate the sill plates. Recommended the structure be under pinned and some form of circulation be added underneath. Identified interior termite damage that was exposed during the probative termite inspection. Appears to him that the walls are structurally sound. Upstairs he identified areas around the chimney that were open to the exterior. He noted that structural work would need to be conducted in order to make the bathrooms and building ADA compliant. He noted the damage from the recent car accident resulting in damage to the front porch area and steps.

76 He remarked that a hazardous materials evaluation would need to be conducted for asbestos and lead paint, followed by remediation based on the findings. He noted that the paneling, ceiling materials, and sheet rock could all be removed by volunteers, once a determination was made regarding the hazardous materials. Finally, before moving forward - he recommended that a structural engineer conduct an assessment of the building in order to determine the amount of work required to make the building structurally sound. Once that has been done and a determination is made whether or not to make the repairs to the building, moving forward with repairs; a new roof and flashing would need to be installed and the mechanical systems evaluated and either replaced or repaired in order to have the building climate controlled. Then an assessment would need to be done in order to determine the scope of work to make the building ADA compliant. Mr. Adolphsen did remark that of course the building could be saved and or/restored. He did mention that there were a number of ways that funds could be raised to assist with the funding of the project; grants, fundraising, sponsorships and services in kind. The Board of Commissioners may wish to decide on the next steps for the building.
