PRESENTATIONS
Agenda Item No. 4A Recognition - Public Works Employees - Martice Baker
and Joseph Durant - Roads Scholar Program - Public
Works
Public Works Director Arthur Mouberry stated that the Institute for Transportation
Research and Education (ITRE) at North Carolina State University provides a
professional development opportunity for local municipal employees to increase their
road maintenance procedures and improve their technical and managerial skills
through a program known as the Roads Scholars. A student must successfully
complete 7 of the numerous Roads Scholar courses offered by the Institute to be
designated as a Roads Scholar. Some of the courses completed by Martice Baker and
Joseph Durant were: Asphalt Pavement Maintenance, Snow and Ice Control, Work
Zone Traffic Control, Work Zone Safety, Basic Drainage, and Flagger Training.
Completion of these courses provides for a safer and more productive work
environment for staff within the Public Works Department, and equips staff to provide
even greater value in their services to the community. Over time as staff completes
additional courses, they can earn the designation of Master Scholar. Mayor Byrne and
members of the Town Board congratulated them on their educational
accomplishments.

the Town is working with our Human Resources Department and with Wake County
Health Department on a mitigation and response plan. A meeting has been
scheduled this month to meet with other Wake County managers to hear from the
County Health Director on plans to coordinate efforts to prepare for a possible
outbreak of the virus.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Agenda Item No. 7.A: Voluntary Annexation Petition - Todd and LeAnne
Callahan - 2516 Fleming Road - PIN 0646852807 - ANX-
2020-02
Purpose – To consider an annexation ordinance extending the corporate limits of the
Town of Fuquay-Varina following the receipt of a petition for voluntary annexation of
property owned by Todd M. and LeAnne B. Callahan located at 2516 Fleming Road,
containing a total of approximately 1.560 acres.
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 provided general information about the voluntary annexation petition and
made the following remarks. The property contains approximately 1.560 acres has
road access at 2516 Fleming Road. The property is non-contiguous to the Town's
corporate limits where water was recently made available, but sewer is not yet
available to the property. The petitioners are not satisfied with the quality of their well
water and would like to tap onto Town water. The petitioner has signed an annexation
agreement as it relates to the provision of Town services. At the February 18, 2020
meeting, the Town Board instructed the Town Clerk to investigate the sufficiency of
the applicant's petition for voluntary annexation and the Town Clerk certified at that
time that the petition was sufficient and meets the requirements prescribed by the
North Carolina General Statutes. The Town Board also adopted a resolution setting a
public hearing for the March 2, 2020 Town Board meeting.
Public Hearing – The public hearing was opened. Wayne Maudlin of Mauldin-Watkins
Surveying, 1301 Broad Street, spoke in favor of the annexation petition on behalf of
the property owners. He stated that their well water has a heavy mineral content, so
for that reason they wish to tie on to the Town’s water line that runs in front of their lot.
No one chose to speak in opposition to the proposed voluntary annexation petition
(ANX-2020-02). The public hearing was closed.
Discussion – There was no discussion from members of the Town Board regarding this
matter.
Recommendation – Adopt the annexation ordinance to extend the corporate limits
of the Town of Fuquay-Varina to include property owned by Todd M. and LeAnne B.
Callahan (ANX-2020-02) and to approve the Declaration of Annexation Agreement
as presented and recommended.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Massengill
SECOND: Commissioner Smith
MOTION RESULTS: Passed Unanimously (5-0) Ordinance No. N-20-06
Agenda Item No. 7.B: Town Code Amendment - Pulte Home Company - Large-
Scale Ground Signs - CTA-2019-09
Purpose – To consider a proposed text amendment to the Town Code of Ordinances,
Part 9 Land Development Ordinance, Article L Signs, Section 9-1553 Permanent
Freestanding Sign Standards, to revise language pertaining to residential subdivision
entryway signs.
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 provided general information about the proposed text amendment and made
the following remarks. The Town's Land Development Ordinance (LDO) currently
permits signage (also known as ground signs) in the entryway of residential
subdivisions. The current standards in the LDO allow for ground signs to have a
maximum of 48 square feet. While this is a sufficient size for most residential subdivisions,
the Town has begun to see developer interest in much larger subdivisions, on the order
of 750 lots and up. These large subdivisions are spread out over much larger tracts of
land which can support signage of a larger scale. As such, the petitioner, Pulte Home
Company, is requesting to introduce specific language to permit larger entryway
signage proposed by residential subdivisions that meet certain size, land use, entrance
layout, and street frontage criteria. The petitioner proposes the following changes to
the LDO: - Section 9-1553, Permanent Freestanding Sign Standards: Addition of a
subsection titled "Large-Scale Ground Sign" to the ground sign standards. This section
outlines the conditions upon which a residential subdivision may exceed the current
ground sign standards. The subdivision being proposed must be at least 750 lots, the
proposed subdivision must have frontage onto a Type 8 Street - Thoroughfare
Collector Street or greater, and the proposed entrance to the subdivision must be
median-divided. The sign may be no larger than 96 square feet and must be
supported by a continuous base. The base must be constructed of brick, stone, or
stone veneer and no part of it may be greater than 15 feet in height. The text
amendment improves upon the Land Development Ordinance’s intent to modernize,
provide sustainability, and allow for ease of use and enforcement with regard to the
Town’s current standards. Staff has also taken this opportunity to correct some
grammatical errors that existed in the section.
Public Hearing – The public hearing was opened. Craig Duerr with Pulte Homes, 1225
Crescent Green Drive, Cary, spoke in favor of the Town Code Amendment. No one
chose to speak in opposition to the Town Code Amendment (CTA-2019-09). The
hearing was closed.
Discussion – Mayor Pro-Tem Massengill asked about the threshold for the amount of
lots (750 versus 500 lots) for this amendment. Town Manager Mitchell stated that there
was some research done of subdivisions in other Towns that have a similar standard in
place and 750 lots was the average lot count.
Recommendation – Approve CTA-2019-09, an amendment to the Town Code of
Ordinances, Part 9 Land Development Ordinance as it 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: Commissioner Smith
SECOND: Commissioner Harris
MOTION RESULTS: Passed Unanimously (5-0) Ordinance No. PZ-20-02
Agenda Item No. 7.C: Town Code Amendment - Town of Fuquay-Varina - Form-
Based Zoning Districts - CTA-2020-02
Purpose – To consider a proposed text amendment to the Town Code of Ordinances,
Part 9 Land Development Ordinance, Article Q Procedures & Administration, Section
9-1808, and Appendix B RMU, NMU & UMU Form-Based Codes, Sections 9-3013 & 9-
3024, to revise language pertaining to form-based codes.
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 provided general information about the proposed text amendment and made
the following remarks. The purpose of the Land Development Ordinance (LDO) is to
promote and protect the public health, safety and the general welfare of the citizens
of the Town of Fuquay-Varina and its extraterritorial jurisdiction. The LDO is a unified set
of regulations that govern the overall development of the corporate limits and
extraterritorial jurisdiction. The LDO currently provides for the development of form-
based subdivisions that offer work, live, and play characteristics for neighborhoods.
Form-based codes are a newer form of development for the Town and have thus
proven to be an appealing option for comprehensive growth. This amendment seeks
clarifications and technical corrections to the LDO's language. Staff proposes the
following changes to the LDO: - Article Q, Section 9-1808, (12) Subsequent
Administrative Reviews - Language in this section has been amended to define
additional types of administrative changes that are allowable without requiring the
petitioner to seek board approval. This proposed change will allow staff to streamline
the process for minor changes to master plans that would otherwise be required to go
back before the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners for consideration. -
Appendix B, Section 9-3013 - Language in this section has been added to clarify
maximum lot widths listed therein apply only to residential uses proposed. - Appendix
B, Section 9-3024 - A clarification has been made to Table - Pre-Approved Assemblies
(Key ST-55-36) which indicates that the parallel parking bay should be measured to
include the gutter. Additionally, required walkway width has been reduced from 6 ft
to 5 ft, and the planting strip size reduced from 4.5 ft to 4 ft to allow for a better fit
within the public frontage. This proposal cleans up any confusion in the application of
the measurements.
Public Hearing – The public hearing was opened. No one chose to speak in favor or in
opposition to the Town Code Amendment for CTA-2020-02.
Discussion – Mayor Pro-Tem Massengill asked what triggered the need for the
amendment. Town Manager Mitchell stated that the Town initiated the proposed text
amendment after see opportunities to improve since the adoption for the LDO and
more form based developments are under review and construction.
Recommendation – Approve CTA-2020-02, 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.
