Chairman Burgin opened the floor for informal comments by the public, allowing up to 3 minutes for each presentation up to 30 minutes. - Penny Christman from Carolina Seasons in Cameron said their main concern is that the roadsides stay clean near the new trash collection facility on Ponderosa Road. She said the rest of the county land on Ponderosa Road should be used for a park for their children and requested assistance. Mrs. Christman also encouraged that signs be place at the convenience center on Brooks Mangum Road letting folks know that facility will eventually close. Last, June 15, 2015 Regular Meeting Minutes Harnett County Board of Commissioners Page 6 of 11 she said they still need some help with the Johnsonville Community Center as they have recently put money out for a new heating system and have nothing left. Commissioner Miller responded that a meeting has already been arranged to discuss the possibility of a park on Ponderosa Road.

There were no appointments. Mr. Jeffries petitioned the board for a public hearing on the FY 2015/2016 Proposed Budget. Mr. Jeffries noted the two following modifications to the proposed budget since its June 1st presentation: 1) a new position for the Sheriff’s Department for an additional deputy at Campbell University costing $74,000 which will be reimbursed by Campbell University; and 2) a reclassification of a position in the Planning Department from a Senior Zoning Official to Assistant Manager of Planning Services which will require no increase in funding.

Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the FY 2015/2016 Proposed Budget and opened the meeting for comments from the public. - Susan Ware of 393 Ponderosa Trail in Cameron said they would like to get funding for a park on Ponderosa Road and money for the Johnsonville Community Center. Mrs. Ware said the community center has submitted a request for funding. Chairman Burgin responded that commissioners and staff have discussed setting up a review committee, made up of commissioners and citizens, to look at funding requests from nonprofits and other entities while considering situations and revenue sources.

Seeing no one else move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing. Chairman Burgin gave a brief overview of the development of the current proposed budget. Commissioners thanked staff for their hard work on developing the budget and stressed their appreciation for the way it was presented.

Commissioner Elmore said he doesn’t have anything particularly against the proposed budget but it is his first time dealing with some of these various organizations and he has some questions which he will meet with the County Manager soon to go over. Commissioner Elmore proposed postponing consideration of the budget for two weeks. Chairman Burgin said the budget is a “living document” that can be adjusted throughout the year and expressed concern with delaying adoption. Commissioners Springle, Miller and McKoy said they were okay with the proposed budget but wanted Commissioner Elmore to be comfortable with it too.

Commissioner McKoy stated that they had not dealt with funding nonprofits in the budget. Chairman Burgin said have discussed having a review committee look at nonprofit funding requests and available funding. Mrs. Honeycutt responded that the recent sales tax report shows we are actually $400,000 over budget. Chairman Burgin said he believes they will have some extra money to do some of the projects in contingency as well as considering nonprofit requests. Chairman Burgin said in the past the County funded various nonprofits but when money got tight those were taken out. Commissioner McKoy said she would like to serve on the review committee and is interested in seeing the criteria staff is preparing. Commissioners confirmed that the senior centers were funded in the proposed budget.

June 15, 2015 Regular Meeting Minutes Harnett County Board of Commissioners Page 7 of 11 Commissioner McKoy moved to table consideration of the budget until 9:00 am on June 30, 2015. Commissioner Elmore seconded the motion which passed unanimously.

Jay Sikes, Manager of Planning Services, petitioned the board for a public hearing on a proposed zoning change - Landowner/Applicant: William & Sybil Pope; 10 +/- acres (consisting of 2 parcels); From Conservation to RA-30; SR # 1566 Pope Lake Road; Black River Township. Mr. Sikes noted most of the area is currently vacant and wooded, except for a storage building. Per the U.D.O. the purpose of the Conservation District is to encourage the preservation of and continued use of the land for conservation purposes in its nature state, and to prohibit intrusive development of the land in areas with alluvial soils, perennial streams, or that are subject to flooding or considered wetlands. The Conservation District is determined to be 300 feet as measured from the center of Black River, north of intersection with SR 1552, Abattoir Road. Surrounding land uses include single-family homes and vacant land. Mr. Sikes noted public water is available and private septic would be used.

Mr. Sikes reported on June 1, 2015, the Harnett County Planning Board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of this Rezoning application based on the geography and the protection of the known environmentally sensitive areas. Mr. Sikes also noted the applicant’s evaluation and explanation of zoning change request was included with the application and the applicant, surveyor and engineer were present. Mr. Robert E. Godwin, Jr., PLS., who serves as surveying agent for the applicant, stated in his Explanation of Zoning Change Request “this zoning change June 15, 2015 Regular Meeting Minutes Harnett County Board of Commissioners Page 8 of 11 is being requested to correct apparent errors in the Official Zoning Map as it pertains to the subject properties…. In summary, we request that the Official Zoning Map be corrected such that the Conservation Zoning District dimensions are measured from the actual centerline of the Black River”.

Mr. Sikes stated staff evaluation as: - The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or harm to the community. REASONING: The impact to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is reasonable. The existing zoning district of Conservation is to protect the natural environment as well as citizens and their property from flood hazards. However, the area requested to be rezoned is not located within any flood hazard area, or any noted wetlands, and should cause no harm or inconvenience to the community. - The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning is compatible with the existing land use classification of Medium Density Residential. Medium Density Residential is meant to encourage stick built and manufactured residential developments. - The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The request will maintain the public health, safety and general welfare since the area that is being requested does not lie within a flood hazard area or delineated wetlands, and will not interfere with the remaining conservation area. - This request is NOT for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should not be evaluated for reasonableness. REASONING: This request does not need to be evaluated for a small scale rezoning, because the area abuts existing RA-30 zoning. Suggested Statement-of-Consistency: Staff concludes that the requested rezoning of a 10.0 acre portion of the Conservation district to RA-30 would not have an unreasonable impact on the surrounding community and will maintain the public health, safety, and general welfare because of the existing residential uses within the area and the compatibility with neighboring zoning districts. It is recommended that this rezoning request be approved.

Mr. Sikes responded that this does correct errors noted in the applicant’s supporting documentation. Mr. Sikes said staff will work with GIS to go back and look at this and see if there are any other properties that could be affected in the future.

Chairman Burgin called to order a public hearing on the matter and opened the meeting for comments from the public. - Terry Walton of 761 Pope Lake Road asked for a copy of the application package to review and asked who she could speak with to understand the potential impact to her property which also shows on the provided maps. Staff present provided and reviewed information with Mrs. Walton. - Tyrus Clayton, who serves as engineer for the applicant, restated the explanation of the zoning change request and noted the rezoning to RA-30 would loosens some restrictions

Seeing no one else move, Chairman Burgin closed the public hearing. Vice Chairman Springle moved to approve the rezoning as presented. Commissioner Miller seconded the motion which passed unanimously.

Chairman Burgin discussed the Agreement of Counties to Create the Triangle South Workforce Development Consortium and Resolution to Join Workforce Development Consortium and Establish Chief Elected Official. Chairman Burgin explained Workforce Development is coordinated through Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) and receives about $3.5 million from federal government. He said the whole idea of this program is to promote people to get education and training to get a job. Chairman Burgin serves on the Triangle Workforce Development Board and is currently the Chief Elected Official for the Board. The Triangle Workforce Development Board is made up of representatives from Lee, Harnett, Chatham and Sampson Counties. Chairman Burgin said recent rules and regulations from Washington require that they redo the group, have it approved by the individual boards again, and asked that he serve as Chief Elected Official through the end of his term.
