PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Agenda Item No. 7.A: Town Code Amendment - Town of Fuquay-Varina -
Representation on the Planning Board and Board of
Adjustment - CTA-2019-07
Purpose – To consider a proposed text amendment to the Town Code of Ordinances,
Part 9 Land Development Ordinance, Article P Administrative Powers & Duties,
Sections 9-1751 & 9-1753, that revises language pertaining to representation on the
Planning Board and Board of Adjustment.
Staff Comments – Town Manager Mitchell entered the agenda abstract and
supporting documents for this agenda item into the official record of the Town. He
then made the following remarks: The Town's Land Development Ordinance (LDO)
currently provides for representation of Town jurisdiction on both the Planning Board
and Board of Adjustment. More specifically, the LDO requires both boards to be made
up of members that represent both the corporate limits and the extraterritorial
jurisdiction (ETJ) proportionally to the population of the respective jurisdictions. The
calculations for proportional representation are laid out in the North Carolina General
Statutes (NCGS). Prior to the delegation of expanded extraterritorial jurisdiction by the
Wake County Board of Commissioners, Town staff reviewed several Town policies to
ensure they were appropriate for the potential incoming jurisdiction. One of these
policies was the Land Development Ordinance's language regarding the
representation of the ETJ on the Board of Adjustment, with the assumption being that
the expansion of the ETJ could require adjustment to the composition of the Board of
Adjustment (and Planning Board) to ensure proportionate representation. If fact,
based on the calculating representation per the North Carolina General Statutes, the
5-2 breakdown on the Planning Board is appropriate and the Board of Adjustment
membership currently over represents the ETJ based on population estimates for the
new jurisdiction reviewed by Town and Wake County Planning Staff. Staff is
recommending a change to the constitution of the Board of Adjustment and a clean-
up of the language for both the Planning Board and BOA's composition through an
LDO text amendment, to better reflect the required representation for both in-town
and ETJ residents. A by-laws amendment is not necessary at this time. Staff proposes
the following changes to the LDO: - Section 9-1751, b. Planning Board Appointments:
no material changes are being made to this section as the board is currently
appropriately represented, however grammatical errors are addressed. Also,
language regarding the total count of actual board members has been clarified to
remove the alternate from the board member count. This is to define the basis for a
quorum on the board clearly. The current Planning Board membership is not proposed
to change. - Section 9-1751, c. Board of Adjustment Appointments: the composition
of the BOA is herein changed to reflect the calculations outlined in the NCGS. The LDO
previously provided that three (3) regular members and one (1) alternate who reside
within the corporate limits of the Town shall serve on a board of six (6) members. The
LDO will now state that five (5) regular members and one (1) alternate who reside
within the corporate limits of the Town shall serve on a board of seven (7) members.
Additionally, the BOA representation for the ETJ is hereby amended from three (3)
members who reside in the ETJ, to two (2) members who reside in the ETJ and the
alternate who resides in the ETJ has been removed altogether. This amended make-
up is appropriate for the representation of the population in both the Town limits and
the ETJ, and also aligns with the composition of the Planning Board. - Section 9-1753
Board of Adjustment, c. Board of Adjustment Membership: The language in this section
is amended to reflect the changes as stated above. The BOA shall now consist of
seven (7) regular members and a single alternate. - Section 9-1753 Board of
Adjustment, d. Terms of Membership: language in this section is amended for ease of
use and understanding. The amended language now also reflects the terms of
membership as defined in the Planning Board section. On the January 14, 2020, regular
meeting, the Planning Board unanimously voted to recommend approval, finding it
reasonable and in the best interest of the public for the reasons identified by staff
Public Hearing – The public hearing was opened. No one chose to speak in favor of,
or in opposition to the Town Code Amendment CTA-2019-07.
Discussion – Commissioner Harris asked about the purpose for the proposed decrease
in representatives for ETJ district. Town Manager Mitchell explained that the purpose
was to comply with state statutes and to be more consistent with the Planning Board’s
representation thereby mitigating confusion about previous differences in the makeup
of the Planning and Board of Adjustment. Commissioner Harris expressed his opposition
to the proposed decrease of ETJ members on the Board of Adjustment.
Recommendation – Approve CTA-2019-07, an amendment to the Town Code of
Ordinances, Part 9 Land Development Ordinance. The text amendment improves
upon the Land Development Ordinance and is reasonable and in the best interest of
the public for the reasons identified by management and staff.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Massengill
SECOND: Commissioner Wunsch
MOTION RESULT: Passed (4-1) (Commissioner Harris voted in opposition.)
Ordinance No. PZ-20-01
Agenda Item No. 7.B: 2035 Community Vision Land Use Plan Amendment -
Town of Fuquay-Varina - CTA-2019-08
Purpose – To consider a proposed amendment to the 2035 Community Vision Land
Use Plan that addresses several areas for improvement.
Staff Comments – Town Manager Mitchell entered the agenda abstract and
supporting documents for this agenda item into the official record of the Town. He
then made the following remarks” The 2035 Community Vision Land Use Plan (LUP)
establishes a long-term vision for the community that extends over a planning horizon
of 20 years. The LUP is a living document, meant to be revisited and amended as
necessary as the community moves forward in growth. Due to a handful of recent
changes made by the Town, County, and State, a Town-wide LUP amendment has
been deemed necessary. This amendment includes two parts. The first is to remove
the Town's land use designation from property no longer located within the urban
service area (USA) of Fuquay-Varina. This removal of the USA is due to the newly
agreed-upon boundary between Fuquay-Varina and the Town of Angier in addition
to the recent resurveying of the County line between Wake and Harnett Counties (the
Urban Services Area designation is a Wake County-specific long-range planning tool
which reflects annexation boundary agreements between municipalities). The second
is an application of land use designation to property that has recently become part
of the USA of Fuquay-Varina, also resulting from the Wake County/Harnett County line
change. On January 14, 2020, during the regular meeting, the Planning Board
unanimously voted to recommend approval, finding it reasonable and in the best
interest of the public for the reasons identified by staff.
Public Hearing – The public hearing was opened. No one chose to speak in favor of,
or in opposition to the 2035 Community Vision Land Use Plan Amendment - Town of
Fuquay-Varina - CTA-2019-08.
Discussion – There was no discussion from members of the Town Board regarding this
matter.
Recommendation – Approve CTA-2019-08, an amendment to the 2035 Community
Vision Land Use Plan, as presented and recommended. The amendment improves
upon the 2035 Community Vision Land Use Plan and is reasonable and in the best
interest of the public for the reasons identified by management and staff.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Agenda Item No. 10A: Preliminary Subdivision Plat Amendment - Meadow Bluffs,
Phases 3-7, Amendment #1 - SUB-PA-2019-04
Purpose – To consider a preliminary subdivision plat amendment submitted by Curry
Engineering, called Meadow Bluffs Phases 3-7.
Staff Comments – Town Manager Mitchell entered the agenda abstract and
supporting documents for this agenda item into the official record of the Town. He
then made the following remarks: The submitted preliminary subdivision, Meadow
Bluffs, Phases 3-7, is located 6021 Johnson Pond Road on 66.69 acres in the Residential
Medium Density zoning district. The preliminary subdivision plat proposes 180 residential
lots meeting the standards for open space subdivision developments. The average lot
size is 8,082 square feet. Following the 25% open space dedication option, there are
35.15 acres of overall open space with 4.81 acres of common green area provided
for Phases 1-7. Phases 1-2 of Meadow Bluffs Subdivision is currently under construction.
Vehicular access to the project area is provided via a connection to Johnson Pond
Road and an extension of Terri Creek Drive from the existing Meadowview subdivision.
Additionally, connections have been provided to the approved Meadow Bluff Phases
1-2 via Meadow Bluffs Way. Phases 3-7 of the preliminary plat have been amended to

Agenda Item No. 10B: Project Ordinance Amendment - Fuquay Mineral Spring
Park Stream Bank Restoration Project - Bridge
Replacement - Reduce Budget by $18,000 and
Appropriate $44,000 in Recreation Unit Fees
Purpose – To approve a project ordinance amendment for the Fuquay Mineral Spring
Park Stream Bank Restoration project adding $44,000 in Parks and Recreation Unit Fees
and reducing the overall project budget by $18,000.
Staff Comments – Town Manager Mitchell entered the agenda abstract and
supporting documents for this agenda item into the official record of the Town. He
then made the following remarks: The Golden Leaf Foundation awarded the Town a
$338,400 FY 19-20 grant for the installation of gabion baskets to address stream bank
erosion at the Fuquay Mineral Spring Park. The total project budget of $564,000
required $225,600 (40%) in Town matching funds. It was determined during
construction that the existing pedestrian bridge in the park had become structurally
compromised from Hurricane Matthew and other flash flooding events. Town
management and staff authorized removal of the pedestrian bridge, as it was not fit
for continued use and therefore allowing for the expedited completion of the gabion
basket system. Since the removal of the bridge, Town staff have explored and
obtained pricing on several pedestrian bridge designs. As a part of this evaluation,
staff considered a metal bridge with stamped concrete decking and iron rails and a
wooden deck bridge with wrought iron hand railings and brick column monument
posts on each end of the rails as an option. Town Staff requested Golden Leaf
Foundation funding for additional capital and asked that replacement of the bridge
be reimbursable under the Town's agreement with Golden Leaf. While acknowledging
replacement of the bridge is warranted due to the condition of the previous bridge,
the Golden Leaf Foundation determined that the bridge replacement was the result
of numerous weather events over time, and therefore could not provide reimbursable
funds. The Town has maximized its eligible reimbursable items under the agreement,
amounting to $460,618.72, of which $276,371.23 are Golden Leaf funds and a
$184,247.49 Town match. An additional $14,197 in costs were incurred to investigate
and demolish the deficient bridge. Since a percentage of the reimbursable part of
the project was completed for less than initially budgeted, approximately $62,000 of
original Golden Leaf funding cannot be applied to the project. Consequently,
additional Town funding is needed to replace the bridge. The metal bridge option
with concrete decking and an arched iron handrail can be purchased and installed
at a total cost of $57,000. This option will require additional funding of $44,000 after
utilizing Town savings within the project. Alternatively, the wooden bridge option, at
the cost of $36,000, would require an additional $23,000 in Town funds. As an option,
brick columns on each end of the rails could be included with either selection for an
additional $9,200. The metal bridge option, with concrete decking, will require minimal
maintenance and will better withstand periodic flooding and seasonal temperature
and humidity fluctuations better than wooden material and visually complements
existing infrastructure in the park. Therefore, management and staff recommend the
metal bridge with concrete decking as the best long-term option. The anticipated
time of construction for the bridge is ten weeks to include design, Geotech,
fabrication, and installation. Management and staff recommend a budget
amendment to allow for the construction of a metal bridge with stamped concrete
decking for an additional $44,000. This option provides the best aesthetic look,
longevity, and long-term maintenance benefit. The Town Board can request a
masonry monument entry feature in the amount of $9,200, which would require an
addition to the project ordinance amendment. This action will remove $62,000 in
Golden Leaf funding authorization from the Project Ordinance and add $44,000 or
$53,200 in Town Funds depending on the preferred finish. Town Staff recommends that
these funds come from Recreation Unit fees. Due to higher than budgeted Recreation
Unit fees received in the current fiscal year, there are sufficient funds available to
cover this cost without impacting planned projects. This action results in a net
reduction of the project budget of $18,000.
Discussion – Mayor Pro-Tem Massengill asked for clarity about the cost of the masonry
monument columns. Mayor Byrne recommended that due to the nature and historical
significance of the park that the Town Board approve going forward with the metal
bridge, decorative stamped concrete base, and masonry monument columns.
Recommendation – Approve a project ordinance amendment for the Fuquay Mineral
Spring Park Stream Bank Restoration project, adding $53,200 in Parks and Recreation
Unit Fees, and reducing the overall project budget by $18,000 as presented and
recommended. The selected finish to be a metal bridge with a decorative stamped
concrete base, and masonry monument columns.
