Item # 10 was pulled for discussion
10. Resolution 18-04-25 Approval of Work Order for Kimley-Horn and Associates for the
Conceptual Design of the Alleyways on the 700 and 800 Blocks of Park Avenue North.
Commissioner O’Rourke stated that Kimley-Horn should not be given this contract partially
due to the fact that they are no longer located locally and they are being paid for something
that has already been done. The Commission was unclear about what areas the previous
study covered. Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Administrator Allison Justice
clarified that the parking study that had been done was a part of the master plan for future
potential parking locations. She stated that they would like to move forward with the design
of additional parking in the downtown area to see how much it would cost. Commissioner
Linden asked if the contract with Kimley-Horn includes a provision for airfare. Kimley-
Horn Representative Jonathan Hague advised that their headquarters is located in North
Carolina, but they have offices locally and there is no need for airfare. Vice Mayor Hensley
asked if there would be airfare needed for any future projects. Mr. Hague stated he is
unaware of any staff needing airfare, but if it was needed, the cost would be included in
their fee. Commissioner Thomas stated that it appears Kimley-Horn has a full office and
professional staff in the local area. She also clarified that what is being requested is a work
order for the design of a parking area which is different from the parking studies that were
previously done in the master plan which did not include a design aspect. CRA
Administrator Justice stated that this was correct. Commissioner Thomas asked if the CRA
could afford to do this $19,000 project. CRA Administrator Justice stated that yes, the CRA
can afford this project. Commissioner Thomas also asked if there are other service
providers that the CRA utilizes. CRA Administrator stated that the service providers with
the Town have already been qualified and approved for future projects.
Public Comment:
Terence Davis stated for the record that he had previously committed to gifting the Town
some parking spaces. He also spoke about the downtown area being too dark allowing
people to break into properties.

PAVING AND MAINTENANCE STANDARDS FOR DRIVEWAYS; PROVIDING
FOR A VESTING PERIOD; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF LAWS IN
CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Town Manager Reade summarized the item (Exhibit A). Mayor Michaud asked if the
grant will still be available for those still wishing to update their driveway. Town
Manager Reade stated that yes, the grant was still available. Town Manager Reade also
stated that in regards to driveway maintenance, the Town would be seeking to
communicate and educate residents regarding their driveways moving forward.
Commissioner Linden asked if there was a time limit for the grant.
Community Development Director Nadia DiTommaso stated that the grant will remain
available and will not expire. Commissioner Linden asked how the remaining residents
with gravel driveways will be notified. Community Development Director DiTommaso
stated that they will continue to be notified via direct mail. Commissioner Thomas
asked about any restrictions that the grant would impose on the residents and believes
that the grant restrictions may need to be modified. Community Development Director
DiTommaso stated that she had already been in discussion with the Town Manager
regarding relaxing the grant restrictions. Commissioner O’Rourke suggested removing
the restriction within the motion. Vice Mayor Hensley thanked the Commission for
removing the burden off of the residents in regards to the gravel driveways.
April 16, 2025 Page 5

19. Resolution 21-04-25 - Work Order Agreement - Park Avenue Downtown District
(PADD) Planning and Engineering Study - Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. - $50,000.
Community Development Director DiTommaso provided a summary of the item (Exhibit
C). Ruben Cruz, Planner from Kimley-Horn discussed the scope of work and provided a
time-lime (Exhibit D).
Commissioner O’Rourke asked if this item was done through a budget process.
Community Development Director DiTommaso stated that it was done through a budget
process back in September of 2024. Commissioner O’Rourke stated that he is not sure
why this item is before them because it seems that the decision had already been made.
Commissioner O’Rourke asked about two open litigation cases against the Town
regarding density and why there has not been an executive session with the Commission
regarding those. Town Attorney Baird advised that the two cases were not related to this
item. Commissioner O’Rourke asked for clarification regarding what the $50,000 is for.
Town Attorney Baird stated that there were concerns with various components of the
density issue and there was a zoning in progress put into place to study the various issues,
which created the need to hire Kimley-Horn on a continuing services basis as a planning
firm and is not aware of a specific study that was done on density previously. Town
Attorney Baird stated that in March 2025 the Commission verbally approved the retention
of Kimley-Horn and this item is the direct result of that verbal approval. Commissioner
Thomas asked how staff is getting the word out about the upcoming density workshop.
Community Development Director DiTommaso stated there were direct mailers sent out.
Commissioner Thomas suggested the use of a local creole radio station and a local
Spanish radio station to get the information out. She also suggested the use of posting
notices throughout Town. Chief Public Information Officer/Grant Writer Merrell
Angstreich stated she would look into the costs associated with the suggestions. Vice
Mayor Hensley suggested the use of banners throughout town. Commissioner Linden
asked if a study has been done previously on density. Community Development Director
DiTommaso stated that there have been no consultants involved with this previously. She
stated that they were able to move forward without studies because there had been a
April 16, 2025 Page 7
previous mixed use project and they were able to utilize information from that study,
where they were able to compile data and time-lines for the downtown area.
Commissioner O’Rourke asked if notices were sent out to all of the businesses in Town.
Community Development Director DiTommaso advised that all property owners would
have received notification. Chief Public Information Officer/Grant Writer Angstreich
stated that she adds all new businesses to her email list every month. Mayor Michaud
asked if the Town still utilizes code red for communications. Chief Public Information
Officer/Grant Writer Angstreich advised that the Town does still utilize code red, but they
have made some improvements. Mayor Michaud asked if code red could be utilized to
notify the Town about this workshop. Chief Public Information Officer/Grant Writer
Angstreich stated she would create the notice and that there are currently about 5000
recipients through code red. Commissioner Thomas suggested using code enforcement
to spread the word. Commissioner O’Rourke asked if the approval of this item would
affect the zoning in progress. Community Development Director DiTommaso advised
that this action would not affect the zoning in progress and that the zoning in progress is
scheduled to end on May 19, 2025.
Public Comment:
-Mary Beth Taylor spoke about the negative consequences for Town residents as a result of
high rise development in Town.
-Terence Davis spoke about businesses closing in Town and also about having residents tour
the downtown area.
Commissioner O’Rourke stated he is in favor of the development because it will save this
town. Commissioner Linden feels that the residents should be able to interact with the
Town during the workshop, not just a 3 minute comment.
Motion to approve Resolution 21-04-25 made by Commissioner Linden, Seconded by
Commissioner Thomas.
Voting Yea: Mayor Michaud, Vice-Mayor Hensley, Commissioner Thomas,
Commissioner Linden.
Voting Nay: Commissioner O'Rourke.

Resolution 11-02-24 Approving an Amnesty Period for the certain
properties (as listed)
Please initial one:
Yes I have notified everyone
ND Not applicable in this case
Summary Explanation/Background:
During the February 21, 2024, the Town Commission approved a two-year Amnesty period for
approximately forty (40) properties within the Town with non-conforming gravel driveway (Resolution
11-02-24) due to the concern that bringing these properties into compliance with the Town Code by
eliminating their gravel driveways would pose an economic hardship.
Note: To date, a total of nine properties (22.5%) have either complied or are moving toward
compliance. Of these properties, two (2) properties have utilized Town grant funding to support these
improvements.
Due to the continued economic impact concerns, the Town Commission has requested that staff propose
an Ordinance amending the Town’s Land Development Regulations (LDR’s) that would provide for the
vesting of gravel driveways until a time that the property is either substantially renovated or the driveway
is replaced, whichever occurs first.
Further, the LDR’s will continue to provide that although these properties would now be vested, if
approved, the maintenance standards for gravel driveways within the LDR’s would still be required to be
met.
Note: The Town Code - Section 78-2 - provides for the following existing definition for ‘substantial
renovation’:
Substantial renovation means either of the following: Repair, rehabilitation,
restoration, reconstruction, alteration, expansion, or similar improvement, in a
calendar year, in excess of 50 percent of the assessed value of the property, as
determined by the most recent certified tax roll prepared by the county tax collector;
or any building addition in excess of 20 percent of the existing gross floor area or
increase in height in excess of 20 percent of the existing building height.
If approved on 1st reading, the proposed Ordinance will be presented for 2nd and final reading on May 7,
2025. If approved, the proposed Ordinance would be effective immediately upon final approval.
Additionally, if approved, the Town’s Community Beautification Improvement Grant funding will
continue to be available for the replacement of gravel driveways to an approved alternative surface (that
is code compliant).
The proposed Ordinance was prepared by the Community Development Director and reviewed by the
Town Attorney.
Recommended Motion:
I move to approve Ordinance 02-2025 - Amending Section 78-142 Chapter 78 - Paving and Maintenance
Standard for Driveways (Gravel Driveways) on 1st Reading.

Please initial one:
Yes I have notified everyone
ND Not applicable in this case
Summary Explanation/Background:
During the September 18, 2024 Town Commission FY 2025 Budget hearing, the Commission requested
and authorized approval of $50,000 within the FY 2025 Town Budget to perform the necessary planning
and engineering studies within the Park Avenue Downtown District (PADD) to analyze, assess and make
recommendations regarding the Town’s existing Land Development Regulations (LDR’s) and
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policies and Objectives related to future growth within this area of the
Town.
During the November 6, 2024 Town Commission Meeting, the Commission provided direction to the
Town Attorney to move forward in negotiating a scope of work with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
and to oversee this process due to the new Town Manager beginning in January 2025.
Further, during the March 5, 2025 Town Commission Meeting, the Commission provided
approval/direction to begin the planning process in advance of authorizing an Agreement with Kimley-
Horn in the amount of $50,000 to complete the process of analyzing, assessing and making
recommendations regarding the Town’s existing Land Development Regulations (LDR’s) and
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policies and Objectives related to future growth within PADD.
Note: The Commission’s direction was provided with the understanding that an Agreement with Kimley-
Horn would be presented/approved during a future Commission meeting (after-the-fact approval).
Thus, staff is recommending approval of the proposed Agreement with Kimley-Horn for planning
consulting services to analyze, assess and make recommendations regarding the Town’s existing Land
Development Regulations (LDR’s) and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policies and Objectives related to
future growth within PADD area of the Town in the amount of $50,000.
Please note that this planning process has begun and the consultant has developed a project completion
timeline that would include a public workshop date on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 10 am, in Town Hall.
The proposed project timeline is as follows:

week of April 7, 2025 and added to the Town’s website and social media accounts, etc.). Additionally, the

issue is expected to be considered at a later date by the Town Commission.
The proposed Agreement was prepared by Kimely-Horn and Associates and reviewed by the Community
Development Director and the Town Attorney.
Note: The Town Attorney has provided an opinion that utilizing Kimley-Horn and Associates as the
Town’s planning consultant for this project would not be considered as a conflict of interest based on the
consultant’s prior involvement with a proposed PADD development project (see attached).
Further, as requested by Town Commissioner O’Rourke during the April 2, 2025, the Town has requested
information from Kimley-Horn regarding all current and previous agreements for consulting services
related to the PADD area. At this time there does not appear that the Town has any previous agreements
with this consultant for the PADD area; however, this information is continuing to be collected and will
be presented to the Town Commission prior to consideration of this item.
