Mayor Tugwell also recognized School Board Members present at the meeting. (PUBLIC COMMENTS-REGARDING THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL) Dr. Walter Holton-Roanoke Island and member of the Board of Education and is here to ask the Commissioners to pass the permits for the elementary school. Mr. Holton commented that this is a 5.9 million dollar improvement to a school already in place. He talked about the resolution the BOC passed to improve the schools on Roanoke Island. The Planning Board had given them conditions and they have met every one of those conditions. The Corridor Commission has reviewed this and approved of what they plan to do along the corridor. The biggest concern now is timing, if we do not get it in now we will miss a year. Sandy Brooks-Principal of Manteo Elementary School and lives in Kill Devil Hills, comes representing staff and parents and asked the BOC to please pass this site improvement plan. 2

David Haynes-5 th grade student a Manteo Elementary School-need the renovations badly and is asking that the BOC support the renovation plan for the school Chelsea Morgan-4 th grade student at Manteo Elementary School and is asking the BOC to support the renovation plan that has been submitted to them. Rachel Cocherman-5 th grade student at MES, school is in much need of help, please support the renovation package. Doree Evans-Teaches music at Manteo Elementary-Spoke about the bumper sticker How are the Children and does not think Manteo residents want to have the children attend a school that is in need of repairs. She is asking the BOC to support the Board of Education. Tanya Selby-3 rd grade student at Manteo Elementary-asking for equal rights for our school, please support our schools. Martha Jean-teacher at Manteo Elementary and works with exceptional children and shares a room with another teacher and it is difficult and they need separate classrooms and is asking the BOC to support the school renovation. Karen Cobb-Chairman of the School Improvement team-wanted to assure the BOC that this renovation is planned for 430 students and feel confident that this renovation will serve our needs in the future, when the renovation is over the trailers will be gone. SUBJECT: Discussion and consideration of site plan review Manteo Elementary School. The Planning Board reviewed the site plan and approved the site plan with the following conditions: 1)a turnaround be shown for Wano Lane; 2) gates to be erected at either end of the fire lane and remain closed at all times except to provide fire vehicle access during an emergency; 3) that the fire lane not be paved without Planning Board approval, 4)that a traffic study be performed by a qualified engineer or NCDOT engineer and confirmed in writing the changes will not increase the traffic congestion on the highway before the BOC review of the project; 5)modular classrooms not be put on site until 45 days before construction begins and remain on site no longer than 45 days after building is completed and 6)existing vegetation be preserved where possible. Mayor Tugwell would like to define the 45 days after completion and what is it means. Mayor asked if the letter from NCDOT satisfies the demands placed by the Planning Board and Chairman Parker commented that it was not what they really had in mind. Mr. Winebarger with Dare County Schools-addressed the traffic study condition, they worked with NDOT and while it was not a full blown traffic study NCDOT was confident it would not impact traffic negatively. On the other conditions- the site plan reflects the turnaround, the gates will be erected and closed and they have not intended for that fire lane to be paved, modular units placement he would like the trailers to be removed when they receive the final Certificate of Occupancy, and they have no problems with the vegetation. Commissioner Wescott asked about the traffic pattern and if this plan doesn t work is there a secondary plan or go back to the way it is now and are there any plans to restrict parents from dropping off students at the library parking lot, and it is his understanding that except for those students whose parents drop them off at the library parking 3

lot there are only 10 students who actually need to cross there. Mr. Winebarger could not answer about how many students live on that side. As for the other part of the question Mr. Winebarger commented that they are confident that it will work, and there is the potential of accessibility via adjacent property if the BOE acquires the Kellogg property next to the school, it is not a done deal, and one reason they realigned the parking on the site was to take advantage of that possibility. They are confident the configuration set up now will work. Commissioner Creef asked if Wano Lane will still be accessible. Mr. Winebarger commented that yes it will. Comments were made about the gates open or closed and Mr. Winebarger commented there will be gates on both ends and they will be closed. Mr. Winebarger also commented that the School discourages dropping children off behind the building and he is willing to work with staff on the turnaround on Wano Lane. Commissioner Creef commented on the high school students going up and down Wingina which was a promise in writing that those students would be directed to 64 to the stop light going and coming, they did that for a couple of years, he would like to see it taken into consideration for this. Mr. Winebarger commented that they are working with NCDOT to find ways to lighten the load of drivers who have to sit and wait on 64 while the crossing guard has to stop traffic that is coming out at the intersection of the library and it was determined that to move that traffic down the street to the other entrance will help. Mayor Tugwell asked if they were going to add additional staff. Principal Brooks commented that the renovation will add additional space for existing staff. Ms. Brooks also commented on the student size and they are around 550 students and the staff size is 47 certified staff and 28 support staff but does not include custodian workers or cafeteria staff. Commissioner Etheridge asked if the gates would be locked and Mr. Winebarger commented they would not be locked and their primary focus is public safety and safety of children and staff in the building. Commissioner Wilson commented that the teachers and staff have worked in that school for all these many years in the substandard conditions and hopes the addition will abate the problem. Commissioner Wilson commented that those substandard conditions are a result as a lack of planning. He further stated that you have facilities problems, we have traffic problems. Commissioner Farrow asked how many students would leave when the new elementary school is built on the beach and Ms. Brooks commented none, all the children that live on this side of the bridge will continue to come to Manteo Elementary. Commissioner Wilson thinks a traffic study needs to be done, but issue the permit immediately, his concern is about traffic, and in the NCDOT letter it says there will be no negative impact and what he finds in the letter based on a cursory review of the plans it appears that the proposal may have a positive impact on 64, that doesn t tell him very much. Commissioner Wilson also commented that in a meeting with NCDOT they do not have the expertise to go beyond a cursory review and the NCDOT provided us with the names of eight engineering firms that NCDOT uses when they need to have an impact analysis of traffic. Commissioner Wescott commented he could not go along with the motion to include a traffic study. Mayor Tugwell asked how we can give them a building permit without an approved site plan and he does not believe we have a mechanism to do that. Mayor Tugwell also asked how can we go back and have them amend a site plan that was never approved to begin with. Commissioner Wilson commented that we are not approving the site plan, we are withholding the site plan until the traffic analysis is completed but we are issuing the building permit, it is exactly what was done when the high school was built. Mayor Tugwell asked if this motion is binding the site plan to the recommendations made by the traffic study and Commissioner Wilson commented no, the recommendation of the traffic study would be approved by the BOC and the BOE as they would work together to figure what is the best way 4

and he feels it is incumbent on us to make sure the traffic flow is not going to get worse. Commissioner Wilson stated the permit can be issued and within 30 days we can decide whether or not the school board and the town believe the traffic flow is going to stay the same or change. Commissioner Wilson commented that it is not that the site plan isn t going to be approved, it is only how whether its going to change from the front to the side for traffic, where the buses are going to go and how the Kellogg site is going to hopefully improve the traffic flow for everyone and he can t foresee any site plan that does not work with that school. Mayor Tugwell commented that if that property is acquired before that can be included in the overall site plan that would take an additional planning review and conditional use permit, and we would have an opportunity at that time to approve that traffic flow and address it at that time. Mayor Tugwell stated in the context of this motion we are going to give them a permit to start construction but delay the final approval of the site plan, would the school be able to occupy the new addition without final site plan approval. Commissioner Wilson commented long before the school is finished, and he could change the request that the traffic analysis be done in 90 days. Mayor asked if we could allow them a certificate of occupancy without site plan approval. They could make their additions and we could apply reasonable or unreasonable conditions on the site plan that they might be able to adhere to and if we don t issue that final site plan approval they could have a building they could not occupy. Commissioner Wilson commented lets limit the study to 90 days and they won t be in that situation. Mr. Winebarger commented that the traffic study done in 90 days is not adequate time and we came before the Board tonight to ask for approval of the site plan and we feel very strongly to link the approval of the site plan to a traffic study in 90 days puts them in a bad situation, they have contractors lined up, they are ready to receive bids and it would throw them back into changes of contract documents and other things and could have a negative impact on schedule for this project. Commissioner Wilson commented that they could leave the traffic flow as it is now until we find out that proposed changes are an improvement. Mr. Winebarger commented that the project is based on phasing and the phasing has be thought through in detail as to when and how we move traffic and students around campus and he is reluctant to do anything that could change that because it could potentially jeopardize the project schedule. Commissioner Etheridge cannot go along with the traffic study. MOTION: Commissioner Wilson seconded by Commissioner Creef in order not to delay school construction, the Town of Manteo issue a building permits for construction of the proposed additions to Manteo Elementary School as soon as the Building Inspector is satisfied with the plans and that we approve the conditions placed on the permit by the Planning Board with one exception, my motion includes that the site plan be withheld until an analysis of the impact of the traffic on highway 64 is performed by an independent engineering firm that specializes in traffic impact analysis, not NCDOT to determine whether or not the proposed changes to on site vehicular circulation will improve traffic flow on highway 64 or cause further delays or remain the same. The traffic analysis must address and include recommendations regarding the proposed purchase of the old Kellogg site. It must address the number of curb cuts that are necessary and appropriate. And it must take into consideration traffic generated by the two other schools located within our town as well as the impact of the new Middle School on the traffic flow through our town. A designated representative from among the members of the Board of Education and a designated representative from among the members of the Board of Commissioners shall work with traffic engineers to further define the parameters of this analysis All pre-existing conditions placed on Manteo Elementary School shall remain in effect was 5

NOT approved by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Wilson, Farrow, Wescott, Etheridge, Collins. Absent: None. and Creef. Noes: MOTION: By Commissioner Wescott seconded by Commissioner Etheridge to approve site plan as presented with the conditions placed by the Planning Board 1)a turnaround be shown for Wano Lane; 2) gates to be erected at either end of the fire lane and remain closed at all times except to provide fire vehicle access during an emergency; 3) that the fire lane not be paved without Planning Board approval, 5)modular classrooms not be put on site until 45 days before construction begins and remain on site no longer than 45 days after building is completed and 6)existing vegetation be preserved where possible. Commissioner Wescott amended motion seconded by Commissioner Etheridge to delete condition remove condition #5 modular classrooms since it is in the next agenda item was approved by Ayes: Commissioners Farrow, Etheridge, Collins, Wescott, and Creef. Noes: Commissioner Wilson. Absent: None Commissioner Creef-would like to make a statement I have sat on the board for quite some time through the building of the high school and other buildings and I can t remember when the building inspector was called in for a consult You are living in our town, your schools, do it a way to help us, don t wait until the last minute to come to us. Help us work out the problems together instead of jumping in at the last minute, saying we can t be held up, this isn t kosher at all. David Oaksmith with the Board of Education responded that we have been held up by other entities as far as funding goes for this project it hasn t been this board. Mayor Tugwell-a 5 minute recess was taken at 9:00 p.m. SUBJECT: Discussion and condition of Conditional Use for Temporary Modular Units at Manteo Elementary School. This was approved by the Planning Board with the following conditions modular classrooms not be put on site until 45 days before construction begins and remain on site no longer than 45 days after building is completed and not to exceed 24 months as specified in Section 7.05 C7, and the two existing modulars be removed when the new ones are placed on site. Mr. Winebarger commented there will be three in front and four to the rear and that the two existing modulars will be removed permanently and replaced with newer modulars and will place those as they are needed them to accommodate the children as they move them around the site due to the phasing of construction. The Board discussed the removal of all the modular classrooms and that in 1985 when they requested the first 4 the school board said they would be removed in 18 months; they are still there with additional modulars at all the Manteo schools. Mr. Winebarger commented that they will be bringing the modulars in and they way they have scheduled it they will not get up to seven modulars until they are actually needed.they will need the seven until completed and then everything will be pulled out at one time. Mr. Winebarger asked the Board to consider tying it to the final CO as it was issued. Discussion took place on putting additional assurances that all the modulars will be removed and Mayor Tugwell commented we could attach a penalty phase to it. MOTION: Commissioner Wescott seconded by Commissioner Collins to approve conditional use permit for temporary modular classrooms units not be put on site until 45 days before construction begins and remain on site no longer than 45 days after construction is substantially completed and not to exceed 24 months as specified in Section 7.05 C7, and the two 6

existing modulars be removed when the new ones are placed on site as recommended by the Planning Board was approved by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Farrow, Collins, Wescott, and Creef.

MOTION: Commissioner Wilson seconded by Commissioner Farrow to approve text amendment Section 7.06B.3 with deletion of sentence Except any building.. was approved as 7

SUBJECT: Discussion and consideration of Budget amendment #29 improvements to the Town Hall Sound system. MOTION: Commissioner Collins seconded by Commissioner Farrow to approve #29 was approved by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Farrow, Etheridge, Collins, Wilson, Wescott, and Creef. Noes: None. Absent: None SUBJECT: Discussion and consideration of Budget amendment #30 bonus Acting Town Manager Shannon Twiddy MOTION: Commissioner Collins seconded by Commissioner Farrow to approve budget amendment #30 was approved by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Farrow, Etheridge, Collins, Wilson, Wescott, and Creef. Noes: None. Absent: None SUBJECT: Discussion and consideration of Budget Amendment #31 Town Attorney fees. MOTION: Commissioner Collins seconded by Commissioner Etheridge to approve budget #31 was approved by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Farrow, Etheridge, Collins, Wilson, Wescott, and Creef. Noes: None. Absent: None SUBJECT: Report on delinquent water accounts. The BOC had asked for a report on two delinquent water accounts one being Dare County Justice Center was an error in setting up the accounts which has been corrected and the data re-entered to reflect the correct balance owed. The other account is for Harris Burton who owns a trailer on Sir Walter Raleigh Street where the charges have been entirely a build up of minimum water charges and penalties and no consumption. A picture of the property was given to the Board and it is apparent that in its current condition it is not likely to be occupied. The meter servicing this property was pulled prior to September 1998 and the Town Ordinances Section 50-42 (d) addresses the discontinuing of the minimum billing on vacant or abandoned property but only if the owner pays a $100.00 fee and requests in writing that the meter be pulled and billing discontinued. The ordinances currently do not provide a mechanism to discontinue billing on vacant or abandoned property where the owner will not exercise option (d) SUBJECT: Discussion and consideration of draft text amendment to address delinquent water accounts. Town Ordinances Section 50-42 (d) addresses the discontinuing of the minimum billing on vacant or abandoned property but only if the owner pays a $100.00 fee and requests in writing that the meter be pulled and billing discontinued. The ordinances currently do not 8

provide a mechanism to discontinue billing on vacant or abandoned property where the owner will not exercise option (d). By adding (e) to this section it will enable staff to cease minimum billing and the account will be considered a bad debt account under the Town of Manteo s policy for delinquent accounts. The Town Attorney has not reviewed the text amendment. The BOC requested this be placed on May regular meeting agenda. The Board discussed the condition of the property and what can be done about the condition of the property. Commissioner Wescott asked would they not be in violation of a zoning ordinance for not cleaning that up. Assistant Town Manger Shannon Twiddy commented that we have a nuisance ordinance that relates to overgrown grass and abandoned vehicles but it does not specifically address a lot of the junk. It was asked that Fred Featherstone, Planner do a report and address it under the nuisance ordinance and what can be done. SUBJECT: Discussion and consideration of draft policies 1,2,3 and 4 discussed at the BOC Budget workshop which will be made a part of these minutes. The Board discussed policy 2003-1 and Commissioner Wilson thought what was agreed to try to refrain from placing action items on the agenda unnecessarily but if anyone wants to place one they can and if the Board goes along it is fine and would like to strike everything after convenience.
