Meeting Minutes Date: June 23, 2014

Location: Tom Sykes Center – Dilworth Elementary

Subject: Marshall Place Community Meeting

2014-063 Prepared By: Scott Stone, American Engineering

A Community Meeting was held on June 23, 2014 in the Tom Sykes Recreation Center at the Dilworth Elementary School. This location was chosen based on its

central place for the Dilworth neighborhood and the fact that the Dilworth Community Development Association (DCDA) holds its regular meetings in the

same location.

The meeting started at approximately 6:15 pm and was attended by 20 people. The attendees were a mix of representatives of DCDA and immediate neighbors / property owners of the proposed project. The meeting was led by Scott Stone of

American Engineering, and Cisco Garcia of Pulte Homes, representing the petitioner.

Stone presented the most current version of the site plan, which he indicated had very recently been submitted to the City. Jill Walker, chair of DCDA’s Land Use

Committee indicated that she had observed that the revisions had already been posted to the City rezoning website. Stone indicated that several modifications had

been made since the Open House, based on neighborhood comments. This version was also based on input received from DCDA’s comments during two previous meetings. American Engineering met with DCDA twice prior to the petitioner file the

rezoning application, in an attempt to develop the project collaboratively.

An overview of the project was presented which included 37 for sale townhomes, and a proposed rezoning of UR-2 from the existing R-5 and B-2. A goal for the project was to serve as transitional development between the commercial

properties on the west side of Euclid (fronting South Blvd) and the single family units on the east side of Marshall Place. The UR-2 zoning was selected to match the

recently approved rezoning by David Weekly Homes on adjacent parcels. It was noted that the previously approved project was at a density greater than 20 units per acre and the proposed project is less than 13 units per acre.

Notable elements of new plan which was presented included:

The pocket park in the center of the site was removed to provide more of a setback and a tree save area along Marshall Place;

Based on the reconfiguration, one of the four rows of units (running east-west) was removed (attempting to address concerns of side-facing units);

Three existing trees (14”, 18” Beech, 38” spruce) along Marshall Place, near Atherton Street, were identified as trees which will be able to be saved in the development. A 50” oak was also identified as an additional tree which might

be saved providing the City allow for flexibility in sidewalk location. This was a change in the site plan directly addressing neighbor concerns during the

Open House;

Revised architectural renderings of elevations were presented. The previous renderings illustrated townhomes primarily with brick and stone facades. The

new version – which was specifically designed in response to neighborhood comments and their desire for the project to blend in with existing Dilworth

style – included siding, roof-covered porches for most units, shutters, columns, and various styles of pitched roofs. The side units had more windows so that it avoid the blank wall feel. While the columns were not

angled which is considered “craftsman style,” which is similar to many Dilworth properties, the petitioner indicated that this was not practical for a

townhome design. It was noted by American Engineering that the side units would be heavily screened by street trees and tree save areas;

On-street parking still exists on Euclid and Marshall Place, but a few spaces were removed to accommodate neighbor concerns. The reduction of on-street parking allowed for a greater setback and an increase in landscaping.

Stormwater pond was removed at the southern end and the area will be used for tree save. Stormwater management is now planned to be underground.

Concerns were raised regarding the east-west configured units which are side-facing. There was strong opposition to any plan that had any units which did not

face the street. American Engineering indicated that the shape of the property limit the ability to build two rows of units while maintaining the necessary unit length,

driveways, alley, and required set-backs. The fact that three units along Marshall Place were not front facing was the single

issue with the strongest opposition.

A discussion occurred regarding wrap-around porches. The petitioner indicated that they were willing to change the design to include wrap-around porches on the sides of the end units so that the façade would have more interest. Furthermore, the

porches would add to the traditional Dilworth style. The neighbors directly across

the street on Marshall Place indicated that they were indifferent to the wrap-around

porch idea and did not feel that it helped enough the appearance. The tree save concept and requirement was discussed. It was explained to

neighbors that where saving the trees is not possible or existing trees do not exist on a site, planting of new trees will be included in tree save calculations. The

neighbors were very passionate about the trees, expressing that the trees made the neighborhood feel like Dilworth.

The build-out schedule was discussed as neighbors had concerns about the length of time construction would be occurring. It was explained that the site would be

graded, infrastructure (roads and utilities) installed, and perimeter landscaping installed within the first few months of construction. After the major construction was complete, the pads would be ready and the building construction would begin.

An initial building (set of units) would be constructed including a model. Buildings would then be released in stages as sales were completed.

There were several residents who had no problem with redeveloping the two commercial lots at the corner Euclid Avenue and Atherton Street, which are zoned

B-2 and within the New Bern Station Area Plan. The petitioner indicated that redevelopment of such a small area is likely not practical.

In general, many of the residents expressed the desire for a Bungalo-type style

design and/or single family development on the property. There were property owners present who were favorable to the plan. There were

three individuals who indicated that they were happy with the plan and would support the rezoning.

The petitioner agreed to continue to:

Look at ways to adjust the plan to address concerns;

Inquire with the city regarding the sidewalk layout in attempts to save additional trees

Revise rendering to better illustrate how the units would look and feel on the property.
