Potential savings result from a decrease in interest rates (4.375%, 3.375% and 3.50% to 2.85%) and shortened loan terms of 10, 20, and 20 years from remaining terms of 28, 30 and 33 years for Public Works Facility, Town Hall/Police Department and Goad Island notes respectively. Computations result from recent discussions with the Truist Bank Governmental Finance representative. . Itshould be noted that the rate proposal (2.85%) is not guaranteed prior to 60 days from loan closing that is subject to LGC approval. Basically, the rate listed above exists at present, but we will still have to wait for LGC approval before closing. Refinancing these loans will require LGC approval that necessitates a Public Notice advertisement and a Public Hearing as part of the LGC. Application."  Perspectivel Recommendations  Staff recommends BOC discussion and feedback during the March 18, 2021 public hearing. This item will be for BOC approval consideration at the April 1, 2021BOC  meeting, and would then go to the NC LGC for final approval.  1551 North Main St., Cramerton, North Carolina 28032  Phone: 704-824-4337  Fax: 704-824-8943  13    CRAN  TOWN OF CRAMERTON  EST.  1915  Manager Memo  A ARO)  TO: Town of Cramerton Board of Commissioners (BOC)  FROM: David Pugh, Town Manager DATE: March 18, 2021  RE: Resolution #2021-05- - Supporting the alignment of the Belmont - Mount Holly Connector as part of the South Fork Senior Community Development Proposal and as adopted in the  GCLMPO Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP).  Background Information  The following background information for Resolution #2021-05 is from an informational email send to the Cramerton BOC by the Town Manager on 3/8/2021.  The new Del Webb Development in Belmont has information on their website here for more specifics: ttps/www.cityotbelmont.org/south-fork-senorr-communty The Del Webb Development entrance off of Armstrong Ford Road  The Del Webb development is proposed as an "age targeted" retirement community. Belmont  Cramerton and Belmont's staff communicate on these large development projects. In this case, Belmont's planning department reached out to our planning staff for Cramerton to provide any feedback, since part of this large property has frontage on Armstrong Ford Road, across from our Town limits. Cramerton's feedback regarding the Armstrong Ford Road entrance to the proposed Del Webb development was that we strongly preferred the entrance to line up with Eastwood Drive. This alignment with Eastwood is preferable because it is away from the Belmont did take this stance with the developer regarding the need to make the alignment with Eastwood work. Iwas able to confirm with Belmont City Manager Adrian Miller and Bridget Grant (who is working for the Del Webb developer and worked on Cramerton's MT Land Project) that the Del Webb developer did indeed conduct extensive studies to try to make the Unfortunately, due to Duke Energy infrastructure and utility lines in the area, the Eastwood alignment would require millions of dollars of utility relocation. The private developer of Del Webb does not have the authority to be able to accomplish this as well as the financial constraints due the requirement to relocate utility infrastructure. NCDOT's stance is to make the full alignment or another option has to be explored. NCDOT has said that they will not accept the option to align with Eastwood because the constraints cause a skewed intersection", which is not allowed due to safety reasons. The only other viable alignment option on Armstrong Ford Road that NCDOT would approve for the Del Webb development is with Cimarron Blvd. Belmont has asked the Del Webb developer to hold the right-of-way across for Eastwood  Timberlake Neighborhood entrance at Cimarron Blvd.  Eastwood alignment work.  sO this better route option can be built in the future.  155 North Main St., Cramerton, North Carolina 28032  Phone: 704-824-4337  Fax: 704-824-8943  14    Del Webb Development anticipated traffic impact  Another information item regarding traffic is that the Del Webb development will be age restricted as a retirement community. When Belmont's traffic engineer (Kimley Horn) performed the traffic study, the number of daily trip ati full build out is expected to be approximately 3,500. Because of the age restriction, these trips would occur during off-peak hours (so not during school or work rush hours). Ifthe development were not age restricted, the daily traffic counts would be approximately 11,000. Also, the full 3,500 daily trips number would not occur for many years as the projected build out for the Del Webb development is 10 years. As far as anything further Cramerton can do, we of course can pass a resolution to send to NCDOT and Belmont that takes the stance of continuing to want the Eastwood Drive alignment. As it stands right now, Belmont's Planning Board will hear the final draft plans oft the Del Webb development at their March 18th meeting. The plans could then go to Belmont's City Council for approval consideration as early as their April 5th meeting.
