Because the addition of land to an
approved PUD is considered a major amendment, Mr. Jones said, the application
must go through the entire PUD review process, including a joint hearing with
the Town Council and the Planning Board.
Mr. Jones noted that the PUD’s maximum
number of allowable units is not being modified, and the number of proposed
units would remain at 244.
With that explanation completed,
Mayor Sears opened the public hearing to accept input. The following comments were recorded: None.
Tom Spaulding, of Spaulding and Norris,
Mr. Spaulding said the addition of this parcel reserved as
open space would increase the amount of impervious surface each lot could have
by approximately 300 square feet.
Councilman VanFossen asked if the parcel could be used by
the Town as a soccer field(s). Mr.
Spaulding said there are some wetlands on the parcel, but the possibility of
using some of the property as fields for soccer could be investigated.
There being no further comments, the
public hearing was closed.
Action:

Public Hearing: Growth Plan
Amendment 05-GPA-01 and Rezoning Petition 05-REZ -06
- Mr. Jones said that the Town has received a request to amend the 10-Year
Comprehensive Growth Plan by changing the Land Use Map designation for the subject
property from medium-density residential with a density of 3.25 units per acre,
to a mixed use designation.
In addition, he said, the applicant requests – upon
annexation of the property and an amendment to the 10-Year Comprehensive Growth
Plan, a zoning change on the property. Rezoning application 05-REZ-06 requests
that the zoning of 16.374 acres of Wake County
PIN: 0659.14-33-7911 and 0659.14-34-8338 be changed from R-10: Residential to LB: Local Business District.
Mr. Jones said the mixed use designation
allows for low-intensity business activity to take place in mixed-use buildings
at a small scale to promote a village atmosphere. He said that it also allows for some
residential development to take place.
This designation was designed to be a primary location for
neo-traditional and in-fill development with an emphasis on pedestrian
activities.
Mr. Jones reported
that the properties to the north, east, and west of the subject parcel are
zoned R-10, R-20 and PUD. He added that
the subject property is the subject of an annexation request.
He reported that the Planning Board has reviewed the
petition and recommends approval of both the request for a growth plan amendment
and the zone map change.

Don Mizelle, representing the petitioner – Mr. Mizelle said
the developer’s intent is to mirror the Comprehensive Plan and adjacent
properties, which are zoned R-10. He
said he understands concerns about traffic, but the parcel is only 31 acres in
size.
Mr. Mizelle pointed out that the developer of Holly Glen,
where 200 homes are located, was not required to widen
Mr. Mizelle also noted that the recently-approved Union
Ridge was rezoned to R-10 and would have a much larger impact on Avent Ferry
Road traffic due to its size and number of units; however, he said, the
developer was not being required to widen Avent Ferry Road even though the
property directly fronts Avent Ferry Road.
Councilman VanFossen said he would be in favor of deferring
action on the petition until the full Council was in place.

Public Hearing: Ordinance 05-09;
Discharge of Firearms - Mr. Schifano explained that at the July 5, 2005 Town Council meeting, the Council
was asked by a resident during the public comment period to consider amending
the Town Code regulating the discharge of firearms to include a distance
limitation for discharging BB or pellet guns.
He said the draft ordinance
would amend the Town Code to require that in order to discharge a BB or pellet
gun, a person must provide a distance of at least 200 feet from the point of
discharge to the nearest adjacent property line. He said the draft ordinance addresses the
firing of bows and crossbows in the same manner, based on discussion of the
Council. The ordinance also provides for
penalties for those found in violation.
Mr.
Schifano said the portion of the Town Code prohibiting the discharge of
explosive types of weapons and fireworks within the town limits, except under certain
conditions, remains unchanged. He also
pointed out that the draft could be modified.
Chief Parker said he
supports the ordinance amendment.
With that explanation completed, Mayor Sears opened the
public hearing to accept input. The
following comments were recorded:
Harry G. Parrish, Jr., 5401
A copy of Mr. Parrish’s written
statement, which goes into more detail, is incorporated in its entirety in
these minutes as addendum pages.
Mark Shank, 5405 Leopard’s Bane
Councilman Dickson asked if the ordinance would, in effect,
prohibit the discharge of non-explosive weapons within the Town limits because
all residential lots in the Town would not be large enough to enable a resident
to use a bb gun.
Chief Parker said the minimum lot size on which such a
weapon could be fired would be 401 feet by 401 feet, and the person discharging
the weapon would have to be standing exactly in the middle of the yard. So,
yes, he said, the ordinance change would basically outlaw the firing of bb guns
in the town limits.
Jeff Hook -- Mr. Hook said the Constitution
guarantees the right to bear arms and that there should be a recreational
option for residents to take advantage of before an ordinance is adopted to
restrict the use of such firearms.

public hearing was closed.

SCIMMP - Mr. Schifano said that in 2003, the Town
decided to participate in a process with other Western Wake regional wastewater
treatment plant partners to create a Secondary and Cumulative Master Mitigation
Plan (SCIMMP) for each individual partner.
Each partner will have its own
SCIMMP - a large environmental document that addresses secondary and cumulative
impacts of projects undertaken within each town, she said.
Mr. Schifano explained that the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources requires towns to
address secondary and cumulative impacts of projects over a certain
size/threshold.
The SCIMMP, he added, is a new
concept for DENR, and the partners have worked with DENR to develop the concept
of a SCIMMP, which is intended to cover multiple projects within a town over a
10-year period, as opposed to each project's requiring an individual
document. This would improve efficiency
and save money, he explained.
The SCIMMP is now ready to submit to
the State Clearinghouse, along with a Memorandum of Agreement that outlines the
agreement between the Town and DENR as to its use.
Mr. Schifano added that there will
be a public info meeting on the SCIMMP coming up at the end of this month.
The first project in which the Town
would use the SCIMMP would be the regional wastewater treatment project. The second, he said, would be the Town’s Utley
Creek wastewater treatment plant expansion.
Ms. Keefer added that the SCIMMP
would save money for consulting services and staff time in the long run because
every project the Town does requires an environmental study, and the SCIMMP
would eliminate having to repeat and duplicate work each time.

Ms. Keefer advised the Council that
staff recommends that the Town of Holly Springs participate in 2005-2006 fiscal
year of the CWEP program, which will allow the Town (at a minimum) to benefit
from a collaborative effort of public education through means of mass media.
Involvement in this program will fulfill one of the required public education
elements in the Town’s NPDES Phase II stormwater permit - two years earlier
than required – she added.

facility.
