LOCATION: Moyock: 913 Caratoke Highway TAX ID: 0015-000-0031-0000 0015-000-032B-0000 ZONING DISTRICT: Agricultural (AG) and Heavy Industrial (HI) PRESENT USE: Extractive Industry (sand mine) and Outdoor Shooting Range (unpermitted) OWNER: William Spruill PO Box 146 Moyock NC 27958 APPLICANT: The Currituck Shooting Club Inc Troy Moser Incorporator 112 South Street Moyock NC 27958 LAND USE/ZONING OF SURROUNDING PROPERTY: Land Use NORTH: Farmland SOUTH Farmland, Retail, Residential EAST: Woodland, Farmland WEST: Reclaimed Sand Mine LAND USE PLAN CLASSIFICATION: Zoning AG GB AG GB The 2006 Land Use Plan classifies the site as Full Services within the Moyock subarea. The 2014 Moyock Small Area Plan classifies the site as Limited Service. SIZE OF SITE: 58.70 acres COMMUNITY MEETING: A community meeting was held on August 27th, 2014 at TEM Tactical gun shop in Moyock. Mr. Moser, his son, and Eldon Miller, all representing the shooting range, and one citizen attended the meeting. No issues were raised. PB 14-24 The Currituck Shooting Club, Troy Moser Use Permit Page 1 of 16 Packet Pg. 9 Attachment: Currituck Shooting Club UP Case Analysis (BOC 2.2.15) (1029 : PB 14-24 the Currituck Shooting Club) 3.A.a I. NARRATIVE OF REQUEST: 1. The applicant is requesting a use permit for an outdoor shooting range. The applicant is currently operating an outdoor shooting range and needs the use permit to bring the site into compliance with the UDO. 2. The applicant states that this will be a private shooting range open to club members only. 3. According to the applicant, the range is located in the bottom of an inactive sand pit (Spruill Mine), bordered on all sides with a back stop berm of a minimum height of 25’. 4. According to the applicant, the Currituck Shooting Club has adopted an EPA plan to assure an environmentally safe facility. They will reclaim lead shot and projectiles every six months. II. USE PERMIT REVIEW STANDARDS: Use Permit Criteria and Staff Findings: Use permits (UP) are intended to allow the Board of Commissioners flexibility in the administration of the UDO. Through the UP procedure, property uses which would otherwise be considered undesirable in certain districts can be developed subject to conditions of approval to minimize any negative effects they might have on surrounding properties. In order to approve a UP, certain criteria must be satisfied. The criteria and staff findings are outlined as follows: 1. The use will not endanger the public health or safety. Based on the suggested findings provided by the applicant, staff has determined it is probably false that the use will not endanger the public health or safety. Staff Findings: a. The UDO requires that a registered engineer must certify that the design, specifications, and plans for range construction are in compliance with the UDO. Part of what the engineer is certifying is that the range facilities are designed as specified by the most current edition of the National Rifle Association of America (NRA) Range Source Book and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) most current edition of Best Management Practices for Lead at Outdoor Shooting Ranges. The applicant has not provided the registered engineer’s certification. b. The UDO requires that the parking area be of a hard surfaced material (gravel, concrete, asphalt) that is safe for customer use. The applicant states that he plans to make no improvements to the parking area. The UDO allows the county engineer flexibility to approve alternate surface material; however, the engineer must inspect the site and consider the proposed use. 2. The use will not injure the value of adjoining or abutting lands and will be in harmony with the area in which it is located. Based on the suggested findings provided by the applicant, staff has determined it is probably true that the use will not injure the value of adjoining or abutting lands and will be in harmony with the area in which it is located. PB 14-24 The Currituck Shooting Club, Troy Moser Use Permit Page 2 of 16 Packet Pg. 10 Attachment: Currituck Shooting Club UP Case Analysis (BOC 2.2.15) (1029 : PB 14-24 the Currituck Shooting Club) 3.A.a Staff Findings: a. With Mr. Moser’s assistance, the UDO was recently amended to allow outdoor shooting ranges if specific requirements were met. b. That text amendment included language that ‘no part of a shooting range shall be located within 200’ of any property line and less than one-half mile from an existing residential dwelling, school, waterfowl impoundment (flooded area), or Currituck Game Commission sanctioned waterfowl rest area.’ This location meets those requirements. c. It is a subsurface shooting range. 3. The use will be in conformity with the Land Use Plan or other officially adopted plan. Based on the suggested findings, staff has determined it is true that the use will be in conformity with the Land Use Plan or other officially adopted plans. Staff Findings: The 2006 Land Use Plan classifies this site as Full Service within the Moyock subarea. With respects to nonresidential uses, it is essential that the existing community character be preserved in the Full Services area. The proposed use is in keeping with the policies of the plan, which include: POLICY ED1: NEW AND EXPLANDING INDUSTRIES AND BUSINESSES should be encouraged that: 1) diversify the local economy, 2) train and utilize a more highly skilled labor force, and 3) are compatible with the environmental quality and natural amenity-based economy of Currituck County. POLICY ED4: In addition to the recruitment and expansion of major new industries, the considerable value of SMALL BUSINESS START-UPS, EXPANSIONS AND SPIN-OFFS shall also be recognized. Staff Findings: The 2014 Moyock Small Area Plan classifies this site as Limited Service within the Moyock subarea. The proposed use is in keeping with the policies of the plan, which include: POLICY TO1: Encourage the continued development of Moyock as a destination to Hampton Roads and the Albemarle Region by developing additional recreational opportunities and promoting historic and cultural sites. POLICY R 1: Expand and develop recreational opportunities for all ages and users including access to the water and natural environment, walking trails, multi-purpose fields, multi-purpose community building, and other non-traditional types of recreational opportunities that are consistent with the Currituck County Parks and Recreation Master Plan. 4. The use will not exceed the county's ability to provide adequate public facilities, including, but not limited to, schools, fire and rescue, law enforcement, and other county facilities. Applicable state standards and guidelines shall be followed for determining when public facilities are adequate. Such facilities must be in place or programmed to be in place within two years after the initial approval of the plan (sketch plan in the case of major subdivisions). PB 14-24 The Currituck Shooting Club, Troy Moser Use Permit Page 3 of 16 Packet Pg. 11 Attachment: Currituck Shooting Club UP Case Analysis (BOC 2.2.15) (1029 : PB 14-24 the Currituck Shooting Club) 3.A.a 3.A.a Staff Findings: a. The proposed use will not produce additional burdens on schools, fire and rescue, or other public facilities. III. TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Pursuant to the Unified Development Ordinance, the Technical Review Committee recommends denial subject to the following: 1. Based on the suggested findings provided by the applicant, staff has determined it is probably false that the use will not endanger the public health or safety. 2. Outstanding TRC comments were not addressed including: a. A registered engineer must certify that the design, specifications, and plans for range construction are in compliance with the UDO. (UDO Section 4.2.4.F.5) b. The parking lot must be surfaced with gravel, concrete, or asphalt and must contain wheel stops for each space. The site plan does not indicate surface material. Also, the entrance road must be graveled (UDO Section 5.1.4.A.5); The county engineer may inspect and approve existing parking area and entrance road to determine if existing/alternative materials are acceptable. (UDO Section 5.1.6.F) Items Addressed After Planning Board Meeting, Updated 1/22/15 c. Shading is required for the parking area that is compliant with the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). (UDO Section 5.2.5.D) A landscaping plan has not been provided. d. Handicap accessibility required from parking lot to shooting station. At least one shooting station must be accessible. If it is technically infeasible to make shooting range accessible, an engineer must verify infeasibility. If technically infeasible, an accessible path must be installed to reach a viewing area. Written exceptions/alternative arrangements as approved by the Department of Insurance are required. A revised site plan is necessary demonstrating compliance with the State Building Code. e. NCDENR staff advises that the applicant cannot have an active shooting range within the permitted boundaries of the mine. If a shooting range is something that is still being considered, then that area of the active mine must be released from the requirements of the Mining Act. f. Once the mine reclamation has been accepted as being in compliance with the requirements of the mining permit and the site released from the mine permit requirements, any further dewatering would have to comply with whatever rules may apply to the pumping activity, possibly through the Div. of Water Resources. PB 14-24 The Currituck Shooting Club, Troy Moser Use Permit Page 4 of 16 Packet Pg. 12 Attachment: Currituck Shooting Club UP Case Analysis (BOC 2.2.15) (1029 : PB 14-24 the Currituck Shooting Club) Based on the suggested findings, staff has determined it is true that the use will not exceed the county’s ability to provide adequate public facilities, including but not limited to schools, fire and rescue, law enforcement, and other county facilities. 3.A.a Ms. Newbern moved to deny PB 14-24 due to applicant not having all the necessary recommendations completed that were recommended by the Technical Review Committee. Mr. Clark amended the motion by adding based on the suggested findings provided by the applicant, staff has determined it is probably false that the use will not endanger the public health or safety. Ms. Newbern accepted the amendment to her motion. Mr. Bell seconded the motion. Ayes: Mr. Clark, Ms. Bell, Ms. Newbern and Mr. Bell. Nays: Mr. Cooper and Mr. Craddock. THE APPLICATION AND RELATED MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE COUNTY’S WEBSITE: Board of Commissioners: www.co.currituck.nc.us/board-of-commissioners-minutes-current.cfm PB 14-24 The Currituck Shooting Club, Troy Moser Use Permit Page 5 of 16 Packet Pg. 13 Attachment: Currituck Shooting Club UP Case Analysis (BOC 2.2.15) (1029 : PB 14-24 the Currituck Shooting Club) IV: PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: 3.A.a Ms. Glave said once the mine reclamation has been accepted as being in compliance with the requirements of the mining permit and the site released from the mine permit requirements, any further dewatering would have to comply with whatever rules may apply to the pumping activity, possibly through the Division of Water Resources. Ms. Bell said at the last Planning Board meeting the board talked about Mr. Spruill’s use permit, and it was stated that until Mr. Spruill could get his use permit that shooting at the range was to cease. Could staff provide an update? Ms. Glave stated she was aware of one subsequent violation from the Code Enforcement Officer. Ms. Bell said the shooting has continued even though it was supposed to cease. Ms. Glave said yes according to the Code Enforcement Officer. Mr. Cooper asked the status of the engineer certification. Ms. Glave said Mr. Moser said he has hired Hyman & Robey to do the report, but staff has not received it. Mr. Moser said he would like to table this request until the next Planning Board meeting. He is working with Hyman & Robey and Mr. Spruill is waiting for final approval from the state. Mr. Moser said the Currituck Shooting Club has been in operation for over two years and the first year without any complaints. Mr. Moser said they are aware of staff recommendations and have been working diligently to complete them and have been giving planning staff updates. Mr. Woody said under the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) the applicant can ask for one deferral and the request for a second deferral will result in the withdrawal of the application. Ms. Bell said citizens were here last month to hear the case and Mr. Moser asked for it to be tabled to the next meeting, and now they are here again and Mr. Moser is asking for it to be tabled again. Ms. Bell said this is not fair to the public. Mr. Moser said he is representing 200 current active members of the shooting club. Mr. Moser said he is not aware of any violations done by any of his members on this property. Mr. Moser said the violations that have been submitted are allegations, which they are appealing. Mr. Moser said they are doing what the county commissioners have told them to do, which is to keep on operating. Ms. Bell asked Mr. Moser if there has been shooting on the range since November 4th. Mr. Moser said no and he has the NRA records which he has to have for insurance purposes. The board discussed since the registered engineer report had not been submitted to county staff, Mr. Moser should have asked for this request to be tabled before the meeting instead of waiting at the meeting, since citizens came to the meeting. PB 14-24 The Currituck Shooting Club, Troy Moser Use Permit Page 6 of 16 Packet Pg. 14 Attachment: Currituck Shooting Club UP Case Analysis (BOC 2.2.15) (1029 : PB 14-24 the Currituck Shooting Club) PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION (12/9/14) Mr. Craddock asked how the existing mine’s reclamation affects the area adjacent to it. 3.A.a Mr. Woody said the planning board could not grant another continuance; because of the county’s ordinance. If the applicant requests a second deferral, it will result in the withdrawal of the application. Mr. Moser said he will go ahead and present his case. Mr. Moser said he is the president of The Currituck Shooting Club which has been operating over two years. The club is incorporated and recognized under the state corporation as a member only club. The club operates on private property and has not had a violation during the first year. Mr. Moser said this is a business and it serves a very important public service here. The club is not a money maker it is more a public service. Members pay to be part of the club, but they do not have to pay to use the shooting range. Mr. Moser said the club is not here to cause any animosity or not here to hurt property values. Mr. Moser said the club wants to work with the county, be good stewards, safer, quieter, and grow. The opposition the club has seen has not been detrimental; it has actually brought further awareness to what needs to be done to be good neighbors. Mr. Frank Flora said he opposes the shooting range as it will devalue his property because he has property close to the range. Ms. Flora said she was a member of the Moyock Small Area Plan and this request is not compatible with the surrounding area. She is concerned that there is a school nearby and the noise from the range. Mr. Elliott said he was here tonight on behalf of Haywood Ward who owns property in the Currituck Reserve subdivision. Mr. Elliott said 88 acres are within ½ mile radius of the shooting range and this property will be developed in the future. The property is zoned single family residential. Mr. Elliott said Mr. Haywood is concerned with the danger of the shooting range. Mr. Cooper asked staff with the ½ mile separation requirement to an existing structure, how does this apply to homes that may be built later. Ms. Glave said the separation is for existing homes not for homes that may be built in the future. Ms. Brumsey said she has a farm next to John Flora and asked everyone who doesn’t want the shooting range to please stand up. Approximately eighteen people stood. Mr. Harcum said he owns property north of the sand mine. Mr. Harcum said he and his sons plan on building a house on the property in the future and he is concerned with safety and land rights. Mr. Mullen, attorney representing Mr. Flora, asked Mr. Tate to give his credentials. Mr. Tate is a certified real estate appraisal in the State of North Carolina. Mr. Tate said any factor which would strongly affects property values would have to be considered in the appraisal and a shooting range would fall into the category of not another home. A landfill is another example that would have to be considered because it is not the same conforming use. PB 14-24 The Currituck Shooting Club, Troy Moser Use Permit Page 7 of 16 Packet Pg. 15 Attachment: Currituck Shooting Club UP Case Analysis (BOC 2.2.15) (1029 : PB 14-24 the Currituck Shooting Club) Mr. Moser said he was not aware there was an ordinance in place as Mr. Woody had stated. It was not intended of wasting anyone’s time since they are actively moving forward to meet all the obligations that the county has requested. Mr. Moser asked for a continuance of the case so he will be able to meet his obligations for the request. Mr. Mullen asked Mr. Howard to come before the board. Mr. Howard said he has been a real estate broker in Currituck County for 38 years, has a background in real estate development, real estate appraiser, and general contractor. Mr. Mullen asked Mr. Howard how the shooting range would affect surrounding property values. Mr. Howard said property values are determined by several different factors: location, availability and desirability. Mr. Howard said it is his professional opinion that the shooting range would make adjacent properties less desirable. Mr. Mullen said a shooting range would reduce the value of adjoining property and he is concerned with the noise from gunfire. Mr. Gaither said he is concerned that the shooting range would negatively impact property values and the noise from gunfire. Ms. Clements said she is concerned that the shooting range will decreased property values. She is concerned why this use would be approved right in the middle of Moyock. Mr. John Flora said he is building a house on the same road as Moyock Middle School. Mr. Flora said he began hearing the noise of gunfire in early spring or summer coming from the direction of the sandpit. Mr. Flora said he talked with county staff and Mr. Moser did not apply for a use permit until August 28, 2014. Two weeks earlier, August 13th, county staff sighted Mr. Spruill, The Shooting Club, and Mr. Moser for a violation. No findings were found at this time. Mr. Flora has continued to complain to the county staff and the sheriff’s department. Mr. Moser was sighted again on September 13th and October 30th by county staff. Mr. Flora said either on November 29th or 30th he could hear shooting again. He called the sheriff’s department to have them come out, but the sheriff’s department couldn’t get in because the gates were locked. In the report it states the deputy could hear the shooting, but couldn’t see exactly where it was coming from because the gates were locked. Mr. Flora is asking that this request be denied. Mr. Moser said The Currituck Shooting Club is not Blackwater because the volume cannot be compared to Blackwater. The safety requirements for an outdoor shooting in the county’s UDO have many requirements which will be met. Mr. Moser said Blackwater has not stopped residential growth or lowered property values. Mr. Moser is respectively asking the board to table this request so they can meet the requirements of the Planning Board. Mr. Clark said one of the use permit criteria is that the use will not endanger the public health or safety. Mr. Craddock as Mr. Mullen if he hired Mr. Tate to perform an analysis about external obsolescence that may occur with the shooting range? Mr. Mullen said he did not employ him. Mr. Cooper said the current standards which were reviewed and passed concerns him with what he is hearing tonight. The county has a text amendment which states no part of a shooting range shall be within 200 feet of a property line and not less than ½ mile from an existing residential dwelling. The board is also hearing professional testimony, that even meeting these standards, it could injure the value of adjoining properties. Mr. Cooper said the board does not have the registered engineer certification to determine if the use will endanger the public health or safety. PB 14-24 The Currituck Shooting Club, Troy Moser Use Permit Page 8 of 16 Packet Pg. 16 Attachment: Currituck Shooting Club UP Case Analysis (BOC 2.2.15) (1029 : PB 14-24 the Currituck Shooting Club) 3.A.a 3.A.a Mr. Woody said the sheriff’s department doesn’t measure just one sound. The machine is run for a specified time frame and it will give you an adjusted decimal level. Ms. Bell said she is concerned that surrounding properties have been approved to be developed without knowledge that a shooting range may come. Ms. Newbern asked if the Planning Board denies this request would it go to the Board of Commissioners; and if it is tabled would it come back to the Planning Board. Mr. Woody said that is correct. Mr. Mullen said if the Planning Board were to table this request, when it comes back, it will have two new board members who will not be familiar with what has taken place tonight. Mr. Cooper asked staff where the rules are not being met. Is it the registered engineer certificate, handicap accessibility, and other parking requirements as far as the UDO is written? Ms. Glave stated yes. Ms. Bell is concerned that Mr. Moser has been operating even though he is in violation. Mr. Craddock asked Mr. Spruill who is in charge of locking the three gates. Mr. Spruill said he is and Mr. Moser. Mr. John Flora said there is a case which is pending in Harnett County regarding a similar situation and tax value decreasing. A letter was sent to Mr. Paul O’Neal from Joe Miriello regarding the case. Mr. Craddock said the Planning Board did receive a copy of the letter. The person who wrote the letter is not a certified real estate appraiser in the State in North Carolina. He is a tax appraiser, and these are two entities that are governed by two different bodies. The real estate appraisers are governed by the NC Appraiser Board and tax appraisers are governed by the Department of Revenue. Mr. Clark closed the public hearing. ACTION Ms. Newbern moved to deny PB 14-24 due to applicant not having all the necessary recommendations completed that were recommended by the Technical Review Committee. Mr. Clark amended the motion by adding based on the suggested findings provided by the applicant, staff has determined it is probably false that the use will not endanger the public health or safety. Ms. Newbern accepted the amendment to her motion.

The applicant is requesting preliminary plat/use permit approval of 36 residential lots within Corolla Bay, Section II 2. The amended sketch plan and special use permit was approved by the Board of Commissioners February 20, 2006. 3. Due to environmental constraints the 2006 plan was reconfigured as shown on the proposed preliminary plat. 4. The proposed development is located at a proposed terminus of the Mid-Currituck Bridge (STIP R-2576 preferred alternative MCB4). Right of way acquisition has not occurred. II. USE PERMIT REVIEW STANDARDS: Use Permit Criteria and Preliminary Staff Findings: Use permits (UP) are intended to allow the Board of Commissioners flexibility in the administration of the UDO. Through the UP procedure, property uses which would otherwise be considered undesirable in certain districts can be developed subject to conditions of approval to minimize any negative effects they might have on surrounding properties. In order to approve a UP, certain criteria must be satisfied. The criteria and preliminary staff findings of fact are outlined as follows: 1. The use will not endanger the public health or safety. Preliminary Staff Findings: a. Community water and sanitary sewer will be provided to the proposed development. b. The roadway shall be built to NCDOT construction standards. c. Stormwater will be collected and managed by means acceptable to the state and county. The evidence in the record, prepared in absence of testimony presented at a public hearing, supports the finding that the use will not endanger the public health or safety. 2. The use will not injure the value of adjoining or abutting lands and will be in harmony with the area in which it is located. Preliminary Staff Findings: a. The proposed phase II of this development is consistent with the phase I portion of the development completed in 2007 in that the lot sizes and density are similar and would be in harmony with the adjoining properties. b. No evidence has been submitted that this proposed project will decrease the property values of adjoining or abutting lands.

The use will be in conformity with the Land Use Plan or other officially adopted plans. Preliminary Staff Findings: The 2006 Land Use Plan classifies this site as Full Service within the Corolla subarea. The Full Service area identifies a residential base development density to be 2 units per acre, but could be increased to 3-4 units per acre through overlay zoning depending upon services available and potential impacts on the surrounding area. The policy emphasis for the Corolla subarea is to allow for predominately medium density residential development (2 to 3 units per acre) with minimal commercial development arranged in clusters. An overall density of no more than 3 units per acre should apply to PUDs with a mandated 30% permanent open space requirement. The proposed use is in keeping with the policies of the plan, some of which are: POLICY HN1: Currituck County shall encourage development to occur at densities appropriate for the location. LOCATION AND DENSITY FACTORS shall include whether the development is within an environmentally suitable area, the type and capacity of sewage treatment available to the site, the adequacy of transportation facilities providing access to the site, and the proximity of the site to existing and planned urban services. For example, projects falling within the Full Services areas of the Future Land Use Map would be permitted a higher density because of the availability of infrastructure as well as similarity to the existing development pattern. Such projects could be developed at a density of two (2) or more dwelling units per acre. Projects within areas designated as Limited Service would be permitted a density of one (1) to one and one half (1.5) units per acre depending upon the surrounding development pattern and availability of resources. Projects within areas designated as Rural or Conservation by the Future Land Use Plan would be permitted a much lower density of 1 dwelling unit per 3 acres because of the lack of infrastructure in the area, the existing low density development pattern, and presence of environmentally sensitive natural areas. POLICY HN3: Currituck County shall especially encourage two forms of residential development, each with the objective of avoiding traditional suburban sprawl: 1. OPEN SPACE DEVELOPMENTS that cluster homes on less land, preserving permanently dedicated open space and often employ on-site or community sewage treatment. These types of developments are likely to occur primarily in the Conservation, Rural, and to a certain extent the Limited Service areas identified on the Future Land Use Map. 2. COMPACT, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS or DEVELOPMENTS NEAR A MIXTURE OF USES that promote a return to balanced, self-supporting community centers generally served by centralized water and sewer. The types of development are contemplated for the Full Service Areas identified on the Future Land Use Map.

The use will not exceed the county's ability to provide adequate public facilities, including, but not limited to, schools, fire and rescue, law enforcement, and other county facilities. Applicable state standards and guidelines shall be followed for determining when public facilities are adequate. Such facilities must be in place or programmed to be in place within two years after the initial approval of the plan (sketch plan in the case of major subdivisions). Preliminary Staff Findings: a. The student generation rates are not applied to residential subdivisions located on the outer banks. b. SOBWS will provide water service for the proposed lots within this development. The sanitary sewer services provider, Carolina Water Service, Inc. of North Carolina, will provide sewer needs for the proposed lots within this development for a combined maximum capacity of 38,880 gallons per day. The evidence in the record, prepared in absence of testimony presented at a public hearing, supports the finding the use will not exceed the county’s ability to provide adequate public facilities. III. TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Pursuant to the Unified Development Ordinance, the Technical Review Committee recommends approval subject to the following plan corrections: 1. All stormwater and utility infrastructure located on individual lots shall be located within a utility/stormwater/drainage easement. 2. The NCDENR stormwater permit shall be updated or modified to provide the actual lot sizes and coverage allocations for each lot prior to recording the final plat. IV.

A permit has been obtained from the Corps and the wetlands mitigation credits have been paid by the current property owner. Mr. Craddock asked staff if they have found any other issues with drainage that would not be mitigated with this being filled with the stormwater pemit being updated. Ms. Voliva said no. Mr. Cooper asked staff since the Army Corps got the plat have there been any revisions to it. Ms. Voliva said no related to wetlands. Mr. Cooper asked staff since this is an alternative bridge landing site for the Mid-Currituck Bridge, the state has no rights to the property at this time. Ms. Voliva said at this time the state does not. Ms. Overstreet asked if lots 60, 61, and 62 have wetlands on the back and will it remain wetlands or be filled. Ms. Voliva stated it will remain wetlands. Mr. Halloran said he would be glad to answer any questions the board may have. Mr. Gomez said the Army Corps looked at the plat very closely and the permit is in place. Ms. Overstreet asked if the piers have been permitted by the Army Corps of Engineering. Ms. Voliva said the individual piers would be permitted individually with their lot construction; and the community pier does have a major CAMA permit. The individual piers would have to be permitted through CAMA as well. Mr. Cooper closed the public hearing.

The purpose for the ordinance amendment is to clarify a definition, remove erroneous language from the section related to criminal penalty for violation of the ordinance, add an appropriate reference to the provision for civil remedy of violations and to add a section regarding location of sexually oriented businesses to protect sensitive uses from secondary impacts and provide consistency between county ordinances. Each amendment is discussed below. Amendment to Section 8-33. Definitions The ordinance will amend the definition of “Adult Live Entertainer” to provide that any person providing adult live entertainment is required to be licensed under the county ordinance whether that person is an employee of the sexually oriented business or independent contractor and whether they do or do not receive a fee for performing. As currently defined an adult live entertainer might argue that a license is required only if they are an employee of the sexually oriented business. Amendment to Section 8-50. Criminal Penalty The ordinance will strike the word “following” from the first line of this section so that clearly any person who violates provisions of the ordinance are guilty of a misdemeanor. It appears that when the ordinance was originally codified the first sentence was not modified to reflect location of the section in the ordinance. In recent years the word “following” with no Attachment: Memorandum Secondary Impacts on Sexually Oriented Businesses (1033 : Sexually Oriented Businesses Amendment) 4.A.a 1 Packet Pg. 106 regulation thereafter was used in argument by a defendant that they were not subject to criminal penalty because there was no regulation or prohibition “following” the section. Amendment to Section 8-51. Civil Injunctions The ordinance will strike “G.S. 160A-175” as a reference for civil remedies to enforce the ordinance and add “section 1-8” which is the reference to civil remedies for enforcement of the Currituck County Code of Ordinances. Amendment adding Section 8-52. Location. As currently written, the ordinance regulating the licensing of sexually oriented businesses does not provide a requirement for location of such businesses. The lack of a location requirement is inconsistent with the Currituck County Unified Development Ordinance which limits the overconcentration of sexually oriented businesses in one area and recognizes secondary impacts of sexually oriented businesses on sensitive uses by requiring a minimum distance between sexually oriented businesses and sensitive uses such as residential dwellings, religious complexes, schools, day care centers, public parks and other public facilities. As proposed, the ordinance will not allow location of a sexually oriented business within 1,500 feet of another sexually oriented business or within 1,500 feet of a building used as a residential dwelling, residential zoning district, religious institution, school, state licensed day care center, public library, public playground, public swimming pool or public park. Such language is consistent with Currituck County Unified Development Ordinance requirements. Under North Carolina law and by decisions of state and federal courts, a county is authorized to regulate sexually oriented businesses. When the Board of Commissioners originally adopted the county’s ordinance regulating and requiring the licensing of sexually oriented businesses on July 7, 2003 the board properly considered studies regarding the secondary impact of sexually oriented businesses and ordinances from other jurisdictions. With the modification of the county’s ordinance it is appropriate that the Board study potential adverse secondary impacts to be prevented. This can include a review of studies conducted in other localities that the Board reasonably believes to be reliable and relevant. The following studies are relevant to findings of adverse secondary impacts of sexually oriented businesses on property value and sensitive uses and the need to adopt location requirements for sexually oriented businesses: Survey of Texas Appraisers; Secondary Effects of Sexually Oriented Businesses on Market Values, June 2008 This study was commissioned by the Texas City Attorneys Association to determine the opinions of real estate appraisers of the effects certain land uses had on residential and commercial land values. An internet assisted survey was sent to 764 Texas appraisers who Attachment: Memorandum Secondary Impacts on Sexually Oriented Businesses (1033 : Sexually Oriented Businesses Amendment) 4.A.a 2 Packet Pg. 107 were Members of the Appraisal Institute and Senior Residential Appraisers. Of those sent surveys, 195 responded with a response rate of 25.5 percent. The study concluded, among other things, the following: More than 91 percent of responding appraisers believe that gentleman’s clubs/strip club, adult media/video stores, video peep booth businesses and lingerie and adult novelties stores have a negative impact on the market value of single-family homes located within 500 feet of such use; More than 71 percent of responding appraisers believe that the negative effect on the market value of a single-family home due to the proximity of a sexually oriented business do not disappear until at least a half-mile or more (2,640 + feet); More than 80 percent of responding appraisers believe that the concentration of two or more sexually oriented businesses increases the negative effect on market value of a single-family home; 64 percent of responding appraisers believe that gentleman’s clubs/strip club, adult media/video stores, video peep booth businesses and lingerie and adult novelties stores have a negative impact on the market value of a community shopping center located within 500 feet of such use; More than 63 percent of responding appraisers believe that the negative effect on the market value of a community shopping center due to the proximity of a sexually oriented business do not disappear until at least a quarter of a mile or more (1,320 + feet); Nearly 73 percent of responding appraisers believe that the concentration or two or more gentleman’s clubs/strip clubs, adult media and video store or video peep booth businesses increases the negative effect on the market value of a community shopping center; More than 89 percent of responding appraisers believe that having a retail business that is open after 11:00 p.m. may have a negative effect on the market value of a single-family home located within 500 feet. A Report on the Secondary Impacts of Adult Businesses in the City of Denver, January 1998 In this study the study team reviewed impact studies conducted in 21 other cities and counties across the United States. The study team also reviewed the impact of sexually oriented businesses throughout Denver, Colorado, the secondary impact of such uses on neighborhoods, the incidences of crime and the impact on property values. The study team concluded that: Studies from the 21 other jurisdictions found that sexually oriented businesses caused negative secondary impacts to nearby properties and neighborhoods, including criminal activity, litter, noise, traffic problems and depreciation of property values; Attachment: Memorandum Secondary Impacts on Sexually Oriented Businesses (1033 : Sexually Oriented Businesses Amendment) 4.A.a 3 Packet Pg. 108 4.A.a People who live or own businesses near adult use businesses, particularly bookstores and theaters, feel the presence in the neighborhood lowers property values, generates crime and contributes to an overall decrease in the quality of life; Of Denver residents surveyed, 69 percent felt that adult businesses had a negative overall impact on their neighborhood impacting neighborhood appearance, litter, traffic and decreased property values; Activities observed by those living near adult use businesses included littering, trespassing and drinking alcohol in public. Litter generated by such businesses included printed material containing pornography, used condoms, sex paraphernalia and used syringes; 75 percent of residents and 67 percent of business owners felt that adult bookstores with live amusement had a negative overall impact on the neighborhood with the observation of drug dealing, trash, prostitution and illicit sexual activity occurring in parking lots’ 80 percent or residents and 41 percent of business owners felt that adult theaters had a negative overall impact on the neighborhood with the observation of prostitution, drug dealing, litter and trespassing; 78 percent of residents and 47 percent of business owners felt that adult cabarets and shops had a negative overall impact on the neighborhood with the observation of litter and trash containing pornographic material; Analysis of police data showed that the incidence of disturbing the peace, public indecency, prostitution, drug-related violations, loitering, robbery, larceny, theft from motor vehicle and drinking and urinating in public was significantly higher at many of the individual adult business locations than in the city as a whole and that prowler and disturbance complaints, public drunkenness, drug related crimes and public indecency was higher in areas surrounding adult theaters and bookstores than in areas surrounding other types of adult businesses; Assessed value of commercial properties within adult business blocks and residential properties abutting adult business blocks increased to a lesser degree than other properties in the same location; The impact on residential values is greater for properties that abut adult use businesses than on commercial properties that abut such businesses. Adult Business Study, Town and Village of Ellicottville/Cattaraugus County, New York, January, 1998 This study was conducted by the Town and Village of Ellicottville, New York prior to the location of sexually oriented businesses within the town. At the time of the study Ellicottville was a small tourist destination community in rural western New York. With a year round population of 1,600 there was a large and growing second home population. Ski areas in the winter and summer outdoor recreational activities were important to the community’s partial Attachment: Memorandum Secondary Impacts on Sexually Oriented Businesses (1033 : Sexually Oriented Businesses Amendment) 4 Packet Pg. 109 dependence upon the tourism industry with the atmosphere and aesthetic features of the community an important economic value. The Ellicottville study included review of studies from other jurisdictions including New York City, New York; Islip, New York; Hyde Park, New York; State of Minnesota; Phoenix, Arizona; Austin, Texas; Whittier, California; and Indianapolis, Indiana. The Ellicottville study concluded that: The review of the various special studies on adult entertainment uses by other communities leads to the conclusion that the location of adult entertainment businesses can cause negative effects on the immediate neighborhood. Those negative effects can include increased crime, decreased market values, public resentment, a general blighting of the commercial district and a negative influence upon community character; Location of adult businesses within the historic business district could counter the town’s efforts to create a family-oriented four season resort community; Establishment of adult uses near residential areas could have a disruptive effect on the aesthetic qualities and residential values of established neighborhoods and make a neighborhood less desirable for current residents and potential home purchasers; There are certain land uses that are more susceptible to the impacts of an adult entertainment neighbor including residential neighborhoods, schools, churches, public facilities, parks, playgrounds and historic resources; Separation distances or buffers can be utilized to mitigate impacts to those most sensitive land uses. National Law Center for Children and Families, NLC Summaries of “SOB Land Use” Studies, Crime Impact Studies by Municipal and State Governments on Harmful Secondary Effects of Sexually-Oriented Businesses, 1996 This study, including the review of studies from 43 jurisdictions, assesses the impact of sexually oriented businesses upon nearby residential and commercial areas. The study particularly notes the effect of sexually oriented businesses on smaller municipalities. The study finds that sexually oriented businesses support detrimental activities within the vicinity that are incompatible with activities occurring within residential areas. Sexually oriented businesses also have a negative impact on local businesses and that when sexually oriented businesses are located near each other or near businesses that serve alcohol the harmful impact increases. The study further concluded: There is a significant increase in property and personal crimes that occur within 1,000 feet of a sexually oriented business when it is located near an establishment that sells alcohol; Sexually oriented businesses help create conditions that draw outsiders to the area and provides venues for opportunistic crimes; Attachment: Memorandum Secondary Impacts on Sexually Oriented Businesses (1033 : Sexually Oriented Businesses Amendment) 4.A.a 5 Packet Pg. 110 Public and semi-private spaces such as parking lots, spaces between buildings and parks, located near sexually oriented businesses become used for illicit purposes that drive away legitimate users and residents; The presence of sexually oriented businesses effects perceived reductions in the value of residential and commercial property; Sexually oriented businesses are regional facilities that attract persons from outside the community which makes sexually oriented business owners less responsive to neighborhood problems, decreases the informal social control of behavior and increases the potential for opportunistic crime; The negative impacts of a sexually oriented business in a small town will likely be more magnified than in a bigger city. Adult Use Study, Newport News, Virginia Department of Planning and Development, March, 1996 This study included the review of sexually oriented business impact on public safety from studies conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana; Los Angeles, California; Austin, Texas; Amarillo, Texas; Beaumont, Texas; Los Angeles County, California; and Phoenix, Arizona. The study also reviewed the impact of sexually oriented business impact nearby properties as set forth in studies from the same communities as well as St. Paul, Minnesota. In addition, Newport News studied the effect of sexually oriented businesses on public safety and nearby properties in its city. The study concluded that: The location of adult uses near other uses leads to increased crime and declining property values. In Newport News police calls for service indicated adult uses experience more crime problems that impact nearby neighborhoods and businesses than other land uses; Comparing adult uses with restaurants serving alcohol but not adult uses indicated that adult uses have more calls for police service; Comparison of control areas to areas with adult uses suggest that police calls for service and crimes are higher in areas with concentration of adult uses; A survey of Newport News realtors indicates 90 percent of realtors believe that adult uses will lessen nearby residential property values and may lessen nearby commercial property values depending on the type of adult use and the amount of concentration; From the studies of other jurisdictions, Newport News determined that: Indianapolis, Indiana The Indianapolis study concluded that residential properties in study areas appreciated in value at one-half the rate of control areas. Appraisers felt that there is a negative impact on residential and commercial property within one block of an adult bookstore. The negative impact decreased with distance Attachment: Memorandum Secondary Impacts on Sexually Oriented Businesses (1033 : Sexually Oriented Businesses Amendment) 4.A.a 6 Packet Pg. 111 from the bookstore. The negative impact was greater for residential properties than commercial properties. Los Angeles, California The Los Angeles report surveyed 400 real estate professionals with 20 percent responding. 88% felt that the concentration of adult businesses would decrease the market value of business property located in the vicinity. felt the concentration would decrease the rental value of business property. 59% felt the concentration would decrease the ability to rent or sale business property nearby. 73% felt the concentration would decrease the annual income of businesses located in the vicinity. 90% felt the concentration of adult uses would decrease the market value of private residences within 1,000 feet, 86% felt the concentration would decrease the rental value of residential property, and 90% felt the concentration would decrease the ability to rent or sale residential property within 1,000 feet. St. Paul, Minnesota The study Effects on Surrounding Area of Adult Entertainment Businesses indicated there was a correlation between deteriorating housing values, crime rates and the location of adult businesses. It also concluded that there was a stronger correlation with neighborhood deterioration after the establishment of an adult business than before. Austin, Texas A survey of real estate appraisers and lenders in Austin, Texas found that 88% of the respondents believed an adult bookstore would decrease residential property values within one block. They noted adult businesses nearby made homes less attractive to families, which reduces demand and property values. Dana M. Tucker, Preventing the Secondary Effects of Adult Entertainment Establishments; Is Zoning the Solution, Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law, Vol. 12:2, Spring, 1997 This law review article considers how sexually oriented businesses impact a community, what are the secondary effects, and what needs to be in place for an ordinance to be sufficient to protect the local community. Adverse secondary effects on a community are shown to cause deterioration of properties, increased crime, and the attraction of undesirable, transient people. The secondary effect studies on property value nearby sexually oriented businesses ranged from surveys of realtors, appraisers, lenders and property owners who opined that they would not buy property in an area where an existing sexually oriented business was located and if established in a residential or commercial area it would lower property values from a “moderate to substantial amount.” Another approach was used in Los Angeles and Indianapolis that reviewed property values in an area with a sexually oriented business and in a similar area Attachment: Memorandum Secondary Impacts on Sexually Oriented Businesses (1033 : Sexually Oriented Businesses Amendment) 4.A.a 7 Packet Pg. 112 without one. The effect on property values depends upon the type of adult business, how it is operated and how it is marketed. In addition to these studies, consideration has been given to publications from the University of North Carolina School of Government, notably David W. Owens, “Regulating Sexually Oriented Businesses”, Special Series No. 15, January, 1997; and David W. Owens, “Recent Developments Regarding Local Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses”, Planning and Zoning No. 10, August, 1998. Also considered is the ordinances of the Town of Nags Head, North Carolina and Dare County, North Carolina regulating sexually oriented businesses whose findings were based on the review of studies from throughout the United States. Lastly, reliance has been placed on studies cited and addressed by the courts in City of Renton v. Playtime Theaters, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986), Young v. American Mini Theaters, Inc., 427 U.S. 50 (1976), and Barnes v. Glenn Theater, Inc., 501 U.S. 560 (1991).

Gen. Stat. §153A-121 a county may by ordinance define, regulate, prohibit, or abate acts, omissions, or conditions detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of its citizens; and WHEREAS, pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. §§153A-134 and 160A-181.1 a county may regulate and license businesses, forms of amusement and entertainment and regulate sexually oriented businesses through zoning regulations, licensing requirements or other appropriate local ordinances; and WHEREAS, on July 7, 2003 a Currituck County ordinance was enacted regulating sexually oriented businesses and on June 21, 2010 the ordinance was amended to ensure that the licensure of sexually oriented businesses and adult live entertainers is consistent with other county ordinances; and WHEREAS, it is the purpose of this ordinance to regulate sexually oriented businesses in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare of citizens and visitors and to establish reasonable an uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious location of sexually oriented businesses within the county; and WHEREAS, this ordinance is designed to minimize the potential secondary impacts of sexually oriented businesses on sensitive uses such as residential districts, schools, churches, day care centers and the like and to provide an area where First Amendment rights may be exercised without infringing on the rights of others and to provide consistency with other county ordinances on the location of sexually oriented businesses; and WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners for the County of Currituck further finds that tourism is a major component of the county’s economy and that sexually oriented businesses will have negative effect on tourism and the county as a family vacation destination; and WHEREAS, with the enactment of N.C. Gen. Stat. §160A-181.1 the North Carolina General Assembly has found and determined that: sexually oriented businesses can and do cause adverse secondary impacts on neighboring properties. Numerous studies that are relevant to North Carolina have found increases in crime rates and decreases in neighboring property values as a result of the location of sexually oriented businesses in inappropriate locations or from the operation of such businesses in an inappropriate manner.

Playtime Theaters, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986), Young v. American Mini Theaters, Inc., 427 U.S. 50 (1976), and Barnes v. Glenn Theater, Inc., 501 U.S. 560 (1991), and on studies in other communities including, but not limited to, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas; Denver Colorado; Ellicottville, New York; Newport News, Virginia; Indianapolis, Indiana; Los Angeles, California; and St. Paul, Minnesota; Austin, Texas; the findings in Article IV, Chapter 12 of the Town of Nags Head, North Carolina Code of Ordinances; the findings in Chapter 112 of the Dare County, North Carolina Code of Ordinances; David W. Owens, “Regulating Sexually Oriented Businesses”, Special Series No. 15, January, 1997; and David W. Owens, “Recent Developments Regarding Local Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses”, Planning and Zoning No. 10, August, 1998, the Board of Commissioners for the County of Currituck further finds that: (1) Sexually oriented businesses lend themselves to ancillary unlawful and unhealthy activities that are uncontrolled by the operators of the establishments and that without reasonable regulation there is no mechanism to make owners of such establishments responsible for activities that occur on their premises. (2) Employees of certain sexually oriented businesses engage in higher incidences of certain types of illicit sexual behavior than employees of other commercial establishments. (3) At least 50 communicable diseases may be spread by activities occurring in sexually oriented businesses including, but not limited to, syphilis, gonorrhea, human immunodeficiency infection, genital herpes, hepatitis B, Non A, Non B amebiasis, salmonella infections and shigella infections. (4) Sanitary conditions in some sexually oriented businesses are unhealthy, in part, because the activities conducted there are unhealthy and, in part, because of the unregulated nature of the activities and the failure of owners and operators of the facilities to self-regulate those activities and maintain those facilities. (5) Numerous studies and reports have demonstrated that the consumption of alcohol or alcoholic beverages at a sexually oriented business increases the potential for illicit sexual activity, violence, acts characterized as disturbing the peace, and other indentified nuisances to occur. (6) Studies have demonstrated that sexually oriented businesses are regional businesses and as such have a regional draw.

(8) Studies have demonstrated that a sexually oriented business in a small town, and by extension rural areas, will draw in a regional population consisting largely of adult males in their twenties whose interests and activities are different from those of the older adults or families in the community. (9) Studies have demonstrated that where sexually oriented businesses are located, other activities that are illegal or unhealthy tend to accompany them, concentrate around them, and be aggravated by them. Such other activities include but are not limited to prostitution; solicitation for prostitution; lewd and lascivious behavior; possession, distribution, and transportation of obscene materials; sale or possession of controlled substances; and violent crimes against persons and property. (10) Sexually oriented businesses tend to blight neighborhoods, adversely affect neighboring businesses, lower property values, foster an atmosphere that promotes crime, and ultimately lead other residents and commercial establishments to relocate. 22 23 24 25 (11) By establishing location criteria to keep sexually oriented businesses away from sensitive uses, such as residential districts, schools, day care centers, religious facilities, playgrounds and parks the potential for the indentified secondary harms to be felt by the sensitive uses is lessened. 26 27 28 29 (12) Those individuals who desire to purchase, lease, or sell those items or services provided by sexually oriented businesses or who wish to participate in activities provided by sexually oriented businesses have additional reasonable alternative avenues available to do so including but not limited to: 30 31 32 a. Access to sexually oriented items and services within the county which are permitted to sell and distribute sexually oriented items and services; 33 34 35 36 b. Access to sexually oriented items and services within the regional vicinity of the county, including locations in Dare County municipalities, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and the incorporated portions of Tidewater Virginia; 37 38 39 40 c. Access to cable television, including premium channels, pay-per-view channels and adult channels, access to satellite dish transmissions, internet access, telephone access, on-line computer services and access to sexually oriented material via mail and other delivery services. 41 42 (13) The general welfare, health and safety of the citizens and visitors of the county will be promoted and protected by the enactment of this ordinance; and Attachment: Ordinance Amending ChapterArticle II, Chapter 8 SOB (1033 : Sexually Oriented Businesses Amendment) 4.A.b Packet Pg. 116 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners for Currituck County, North Carolina, after consideration of the issues raised in studies of secondary impacts of sexually oriented businesses finds that the location of sexually oriented businesses in areas where they would be incompatible with surrounding uses could impair the health, safety, welfare and financial well-being of the county’s citizens and visitors NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Commissioners for the County of Currituck as follows: Part I.

He provided a power point presentation showing the breakdown of how the credits were awarded in the areas of Communication, Water Supply, Fire Department, Divergence and Community Risk Reduction. Chief Dailey thanked the Board for their support. He recognized Moyock, Lower Currituck, and Camden Volunteer Fire Departments and thanked them for their support and assistance because they were a huge part of the team it took to get through the process. He noted there were still things to be done and they would continue to work together with the other departments to get the same class of rating. Chief Dailey also asked the Board to consider reviewing the hand out Taking Action Against Cancer in the Fire Service. He said they have a number of their own in the Fire Department that are in remission or getting treatment for cancer. They thought this could be one thing that could be offered as an incentive to assist the Fire Departments in getting folks to join. This insurance is $90.00 per person, per year. It can cover police, 911 responders and others for very little money. He said they would be working with the Fire and EMS Board and be coming back to the Board once they get additional information about the policy. The Board congratulated the Fire Departments and thanked them for their service. B. Wild Horse Management Agreement County Manager Daniel Scanlon reviewed the proposed Wild Horse Management Agreement by first explaining that back in the early 1990’s when the Wild Horses were allowed to roam free throughout all of the outer banks we started to see with development and growth, a lot more interaction with people with vehicles and unfortunately some of those interactions resulted in the death of the horses. There was an initiative to relocate the horses to north of Corolla and that required the construction of a fence from the sound to the ocean at the north beach ramp. The fence was not permitted by CAMA which required the county to go through a variance process. One of the requirements of that permit was that a plan be developed to address the long term management of the horses and to continue to justify and support the need of having the fence. A Management Plan was prepared and as part of the agreement, it is required to be periodically updated. The agreement involves four main agencies consisting of major property owners in the four wheel drive area of Corolla, Corolla Wild Horse Fun, County of Currituck, the State, and Fish and Wildlife. The group has been meeting over the last two years and unanimously support the agreement with only one issue of contention which is the herd size. There is a six member advisory board that oversees the Management Agreement. The group meets quarterly and has prepared this update to the Agreement before the Board of Commissioners tonight. The advisory board sets goals, each goal has an action plan and those are set out in the Agreement. To get through the issue of contention on the size of the herd, each agency has an opportunity to put a factual piece together that supports their opinion on what they feel is a proper sized herd. Herd sizes are counted annually as required by the terms in the Agreement. Appendices attached set out additional historical Communication: Minutes of January 20th 2015 (Approval Of Minutes) ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Draft Minutes Packet Pg. 135 information, land use information, adopted Legislation and Ordinances, information on the various agencies and their missions, protocols, and other general information.

Commissioner Hall asked that a change be made on Page 39 of the Agreement to change the name of the header under the stakeholders from Corolla Citizens to add Carova citizens or Currituck Outer Banks Citizens.

NEW BUSINESS A) Consent Agenda County Manager Dan Scanlon stated that he was asked by a commissioner to provide additional information on Item 4 of the Consent Agenda dealing with the service contract with McClees Consulting, Inc. Mr. Scanlon stated that the county contracted with McClees Consulting, a lobbying firm, last year and they helped us with several key pieces of legislation that were being proposed in the General Assembly, the most important of those was to place a toll on the Knotts Island Ferry Route.

Mr. Brumsey informed Commissioner Aydlett that he felt his Board would be in agreement to partner and would get back with him tomorrow to confirm. Commissioner Aydlett stated if the Board of Commissioners were in agreement, he would ask that Mr. Scanlon draft a letter to Fish and Wildlife stating that we understand they have a job to do but to ask if they could reevaluate the timing of their surveys as not to affect the migratory birds. The letter would need to be sent to the southeast region in Georgia and also the northern division since we fall under the Backbay area.
