ADJOURNMENT  PLANNING BOARD MEETING MINUTES MONDAY, AUGUST 18th, 2025 ERWIN, NORTH CAROLINA The Town of Erwin Planning Board held its regular meeting in the Erwin Municipal Building Board Room 100 West F Street, Erwin NC on Monday, August 18th, 2025, at 7:00 PM. Board members present were Chairperson Nicholas Skatell, Vice Chairperson Jim Hartman, In- Town Board Members Grace Watts, Rebecca Kelly, and Kathryn Moore, and Out-of-Town Board Member Howard Godwin. Also present was In-Town Alternate Marsha Woodard. Board members absent were: In-Town Board Members Michael Jackson. Staff members present were Town Manager Snow Bowden, Town Planner Dylan Eure, and Deputy Clerk Katelan Blount. Chairperson Nicholas Skatell called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. Board Member Grace Watts gave the invocation. Vice Chairperson Jim Hartman led the Pledge of Allegiance. CONSENT ITEMS Vice Chairperson Jim Hartman made a motion to approve the minutes of July 21st, 2025, and was seconded by Marsha Woodard. The Board voted unanimously. OATHS OF OFFICE Deputy Town Clerk Katelan Blount issued the Oath of Office to Mr. Harold “Dean” Downing Jr., who was sworn in as In-Town Alternate Planning Board Member. Deputy Town Clerk Katelan Blount issued the Oath of Office to Ms. Karen Beitar, who was sworn in as In-Town Alternate Planning Board Member. Deputy Town Clerk Katelan Blount also issued the Oath of Office to Ms. Marsha Woodard as a full In-Town Planning Board member. Out of Town Board Member Howard Godwin joined the meeting at 7:04 p.m. 2 OLD BUSINESS Updates: Town Planner Dylan Eure informed the Board that Mr. Joshua Schmeiding had resigned his Board position due to some scheduling conflicts. Additionally, Ms. Vanessa Lech had resigned her position as well. He welcomed the new Board Member, Marsha Woodard, and In-Town Alternate Members, Mr. Howard “Dean” Downing Jr., and Ms. Karen Beitar. Town Planner Dylan Eure updated the Planning Board that the parcel located off Highway 421 that the Planning Board recommended for approval to B-2 was recently approved by the Board of Commissioners for that zoning classification. That will be updated on Harnett County GIS once the minutes from that Board meeting get approved. NEW BUSINESS ZT-2025-005 Town Planner Dylan Eure informed the Board that this is a town staff initiated rezoning along the right side of 4th Street and the right side of 3rd Street, to rezone these parcels from R-10 to R-6 zoning classifications. The primary reason would be the current dimensional requirements for R-10, which many of the lots do not currently meet. These lots have existed since 1924 on average. Should there be an event which would require rebuilding of one of these homes, such as fire or other damage, the residents would not be able to rebuild due to the current zoning restrictions and would have to apply for a variance. Changing the zoning classification would allow property owners to rebuild without the variance, as that would be a conforming use. Additionally, many of the neighboring similar properties are also R-6. Board Member Marsha Woodard asked if there were any lots that were able to be developed. Town Planner Dylan Eure stated that yes, there were a couple lots next to 107 4th Street that were currently developable. They were owned by 107 4th Street and there is no intent to develop at this time. The remaining lots have some sort of development already on them. 209 4th Street was left off of this request due to the fact that the owner/developer had already requested a rezoning for that property. This parcel was discussed at the Planning Board meeting on July 18th, 2025. Board Member Howard Godwin made a motion to approve the rezoning request, which was seconded by Kathryn Moore. The Board voted unanimously. Chairperson Nicholas Skatell asked the Board to read the Statement of Consistency. 3 Board Member Marsha Woodard read the following Statement of Consistency: “The requested rezoning from R-10 to the R-6 classification is compatible with all of the Town of Erwin’s regulatory documents. According to Erwin’s 2023 Land Use Plan, and the layout of the surrounding area, the R-6 zoning classification would best serve the described properties. It is recommended that ZT-2025-005 be approved.” Board member Marsha Woodard made a motion in the affirmative, which was seconded by Kathryn Moore. The Board voted unanimously. Accessory Structures Setback Amendment Town Planner Dylan Eure presented this amendment request to the Planning Board. He stated that this amendment would remove the current cap that the Town has for accessory structures to be unspecified. Residents would be able to have as many accessory structures as they’d like, as long as they don’t exceed the percentage of side and rear yard requirements. This would also update the verbiage on carports and garages. Board Member Marsha Woodard asked if the carport would have one wall? Town Planning Dylan Eure stated that yes, a carport is considered anything that has at least one side open, while a detached garage would be fully closed in. He also stated that this would also preserve permeable surfaces so that storm water runoff doesn’t become an issue to neighboring properties. Board Member Howard Godwin made a motion in the affirmative, which was seconded by Jim Hartman. The Board voted unanimously. Chairperson Nick Skatell asked the Board to read the Statement of Consistency. Board Member Jim Hartman read the following Statement of Consistency: “The proposed text amendment is compatible with all of the Town of Erwin’s regulatory documents. The proposed text amendment would better serve the citizens of Erwin by allowing for additional accessory structures for storage and other uses, while providing clear regulations. Therefore, it is recommended that the accessory Structure Setbacks Amendment be approved.” Board Member Jim Hartman made a motion in the affirmative, which was seconded by Kathryn Moore. The Board voted unanimously. 4 ADJOURNMENT Board Member Howard Godwin made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:18 P.M. and was seconded by Jim Hartman. Motion unanimously approved.

Byrd David L. Nelson ZT-2025-006 William R. Turnage Memorandum Rezoning Description The Town of Erwin has received a request to rezone a parcel located by its Harnett County Tax Pin being 0596-99-2982.000. Currently, this parcel is zoned as a conditional M-1 industrial district to be solely used for a tower. The said petition would rezone the above parcel to be entirely under the R-10 zoning classification for residential purposes. Property Description A single tract of land located by its Harnett County Tax Pin of 0596-99-2982.000. The said site does not have any structures located on the property, as the site has recently been subdivided, removing the existing tower from the property that is petitioning to be rezoned. Upon the rezoning of the parcel, this would eliminate the conditional district that was placed over the land owned by Mr. and Mrs. Hurley and allow for residential uses, while keeping the conditional zoning district that approved for a tower to be placed at 99 Walter Drive or Harnett County Tax Pin 0596-89-6725.000 owned by Kimber Group, keeping the property in conformity to Erwin’s Ordinances. The surrounding land uses are comprised primarily of single-family residences and agricultural areas, with the zoning classification being R-10. To the direct left of the property being rezoned, the zoning is under a conditional zoning district, being CD-M1, for the use of a tower.
