I'd like to enteri into the record the staff report that has been Adler: "Myr remarks willl be drawn from the primarily the findings and fact that arei int the report. Thisi is an approximately 50 acre parcel. Approximately half of iti is a pond and currently, it is vacant and what is proposed is a recreational vehicle campground, with 87 sites. The use requested RV parks/Campground is The requested usei is desirable ore essential to the public welfare or convenience. Thej property- there aret two properties here. Itl looks like one piece of property but there is a small portion ofi it up near I-95 and itis treated: as as single piece. The properties are) located between I-95 and NC 55, providing easy access tol I-95 Exit 73,1 less than ar mile away vial NC55. Approximately! halft the property isa 22-acre pond. This location on I-95, between population centers tot the north and Florida tot the south is well situated as a resting place for thel RV1 traveling public. The closest RV parks currently are approximately 101 miles tot the north near Benson and 14 miles tot the south near Wade. An RV park att this location inl Dunn will enhance public convenience AnF RV campground will not detract from the character oft the adjoining districts and should preserve the rural feel oft the area. The pond will remain and, combined with proposed improvements, create viewscapes" to enhance the view from roadways and adjacent properties. The parcels' wooded areas will be altered only enough to establish the campsites and road system, leavinga a large portion for walking trails and buffering. Extral buffering willb ber required! between thel RVE Parkanda adjacent residential parcels, whiche exist along 55 The Future Land Use Map anticipated the area east of I-95 in the vicinity of the property to remain agricultural/open space in 2030. But the Future Land Use Map, completed in 2005, couldn't foresee the changes the economy would got through. The zoning was changed tol I-100i in 2013 toa amend the: zoning map tor reflect the current use of properties and the 2030 future land use plan. An RV park is a permitted conditional use in the I-100 Industrial District. The preliminary site plan developed for the RV Park, as of April 23, 2021, conforms to the requirements in Chapter 22, Article VIII: Travel Trailers and Trailer City water is accessiblet tot the site from a water line near I-95; sewer as well. Access tot the property willl be from NC! 55, where an NCDOT approved driveway access currently exist. Storm water conveyance, storage, and treatment will be designed to meet the City of Dunn's storm water requirements. Solid waste will be collected by a private company. Access to all utilities currently exist or can be provided. If there are any Council Member Tart: "George I have one. On the police department, do we cover, would we cover that sectiont there, Iknowi itisi int the planning: zoning but wouldt thej police be responsible for going out" Adler: "Ibelieve currently itis,i isin, Ican'tremember) I'm nots surei ifitisi int the city limits." Tart:' "T wast thinkingi it was. Ijustv wantt tor makes suret that thej police department was good withi it." Ifit's in the city limits, then itl has city police protection. Ifit's not in the city limits, then it doesn't Idon't know whether iti isoriti isn't Any otherg questions fromt the council for the city planner.

My firm is the engineer and planner ont this project. I'mg goingt tob bel briefi ini my responses. Wel have addressed: all the findings off fact. They havel been readi into the record. Mr. Adler hase emphasized the points. Wea arei inl harmony with all oft that. This project- -Iwill, be, picka couple oft things top point out and reiterate: some things that the planningl boardi mentioned. a couple of weeks We dol believe that this usei isi in concert with the ordinances allowed as a conditional use. We believe that it meets that criteria. We also believe that there isar need. Dunn isi in a great location, halfway between all the high density areas ofc our north, andf folks wantt tol head south to Florida. It'sa greatl location. We believe folks areg goingt to wantt to jump offo of95a ands stayk heref for nights, weekends, forat time and enjoyt thea area. They will contribute tot the local economy. Ithinky you will see that with restaurants and other retail places and Iknow there are some good golf courses around, sot folks love to do that. And that was reiterated by the planning board as well, they noted that fort thel local economy. Idor not! believe thati it's goingt tol be a negative impactt to It'sab beautiful track of] land and our intention- the owners, developers' intention on this was to take the propertyt thati ist there and tryt to use all the! beautiful qualities ofit Therei isal beautiful pondt thati is there andI thinkt therea are goingt tol bes somei improvements that willr makei ite event morel beautiful andi moret usable. Safety wise, we willl be using pretty much the current access, ify yous guys havel had a chance tol look att the site. Therei isag gate out there now. Our proposed entrance is basically goingt tol bei int that location. From the public health and safety side, we have no issue with the sight distance in each direction there. It will be a safe entrance and wer willl be working with NCDOT on proper permits, once wer makei itp pastt this point. There is an existing sewer outfall line that runs through the property. We are aware of that and we have designed our road system tof follow that and web believe that our preliminary utility plani isi inc compliance with what will be required as we continue to move through this. We willl bel bringing water to the site from the main thatr runs along 195. And again, this property, it's going tos stayi ini its overall general use that itisn now or how itld looks now. Int that, about,a al littlel better than fifty percent oft the property is goingt to remain untouched, other than some clean ups. Now, I'm available to answer any questions you guys may have as far as professional wise, engineering wise, planning wise. Also tonight, one oft the owners, Brian Barefoot, is here Council Member Turnage: "Just one and Steve I'ms sure, you mentioned the outfall) line, the sewer outfall line and everything. Steve, is that something while they are building their roads that we might consider upgradingord dor wel haves some either spillage orl leaki infiltration theret that might- havet to workon?" Councilman Turnage, at this point we can only ask Mr. Adams questions. If Mr. Neuschafer needs to testify we  back, when wer werei inf front oft them.  future development: int thea area.1 Ithinki it fits inr nicely.  andl he'dI liket tos get up ands speakt tos youg guys as wella and present! his vision."  Any questions fromt the Council for Mr. Adams.  can calll him up andy you can askl him questions. Turnage: "Ok Alright" Did) you) have a question for Mr. Adams? Turnage: "No"  Anybody else on the council have a question for Mr. Adams? Anybody that has been sworn to provide testimony Brian Barefoot: "Good evening my name is Brian Barefoot. Ilive at 10422 Green Path Rd in Dunn. Lot oft the things Iwill tell you guys, aret thet things that I mentioned to thé planning board. Ilive just a few miles down the road from this property. Drove by it my wholel life. Drive! byi ita about 4 or 51 timesa a day. And, youl know,I guess, maybe! because oft the sewer line that's going through the property, it's never been developed or used forr much else than what itisr now, just open land. So, we'vel had this vision ofa RVI Parkf fora a couple of years. Wel boughtt thej property, maybea a year ago, ands started working on the engineering and) here we are tonightI thinki it willl benefit thel local economy and businesses. Ireassured the planning board that Ilive in the area. Youl know, wel had al littlel bit of concern about itl being developed, butI live int the areat too. Iwant itt to be as nice and neata as possible. That's our plan. T bet there daily, it's notl likei it's subbed out andl Ialso drivel by it4 Ididy want tor mention that wel have an option to get our services from Harnett County on 55 and wel have the option of getting our services from the City ofI Dunn on the 95 area. And that's our plan is to get all of our services from Dunn, city water ands sewer and also to annexi intol Dunn iss something we plan on doinga as well. We hope that willl benefit the city and for using their services and wej plan on itl being a first class facility. It willl be very! hands on. Wej plan on doingt the construction in a couple ofp phases, atl least two phases. Building some of the park, and as it grows, we will continue to build the rest of the park. Other than that, any Mayor Pro' Tem Bradham: "Tg got a couple of questions. Sol RVI Park that runs everything from aj pop uptoa40  have ao question for Mr. Adams? Thank Yous sir.

Dos you) plan on selling thist tol like KOA campgrounds or something liket thati int the Barefoot: "That's not our plan now. Wel haven't even discussed sellingi itt to any other bigger corporate type of campground. We don'tk knowi int the future what willl happen, butt that's not our plan. Wel haven'te even spoke or Sills:" Doj you) plant tol leto campers just put their legs down and trucks drive offa andt things like that?" Barefoot: "Yea there willl be, well obviously, the campers willl have tol be towed int therel bya vehicle. But I'm sure there will bes some that stay more than a night or two but it's definitely not intended for a permanent residence. Wej planned- with the addition of 95, there are al lot of construction workers that have stipends and mights stay for a month or sol however longt they are working there. They pull campers and that is their method ofl lodging. I'm sure we willl have some of that, but itis definitely not intended, and we don't plan on Any other questions from the council of Mr. Barefoot. Anybody else that has been sworn to provide testimony We will now hear from people opposing the request. Anybody here to provide testimony in opposition to the  researched: any oft thel bigger corporate type campgrounds."  any! kind ofp permanent residence: att the park." have any questions of Mr. Barefoot Thankj yous sir.  request.  Councilman Turnage doj youl want Mr. Neuschafert to answer? Councill Member Turnage: "Yes that willl bej just as good ast time as any."  Mr. Neuschafer ifyour will come tol bes sworn inp please. Popes swears in City Manager Neuschafer. Turnage: "Basically, if wel have the outfall line there. Is that a place that we should consider, as we move forwardi int their preparation for the land, for usr maybe upgrading or replacing some oft the sewer lines there?" Neuschafer: Duringt the review oft the proposed park, we- the utility department alreadyi inspected that line, the age oft the line and allt those criteria were considered: and theyf feelt the segment that they aret talking about where their property is at, is in good shape. So, we worked with the engineers closely to make sure the easements for the outfall line are respected, you know, and we were able to get access tot them and so that was al key part of our review.. Alli in all, according to the utility department, everything seems to bei fine. And what was statede earlier abouti in ordert to get water and sewer services, the property has to be, by ordinance, annexed into the city. Aftert that point and time, they willl have police protection as stated earlier."  Turnage: "Ok thanks."  Any other questions for the city manager?  Council Member Sills: "Ist this property insidet the opportunity: zone?"  Neuschafer: "Yesitis." othert than something agri-tourism?"  Sills: "Is there any othert thing with this pond and, guess wetlands, ist there anything else that might go there Neuschafer: "Well iti is currently zoned I-1001 heavy industrial. Obviously, anything that met the permitted uses in that district could go there. This is one oft the listed conditional uses that could go there. So this is something, without changing thez zoning, thel base: zoning oft thep parceli itself, thisi is one oft thet uses that's listed that could possibly got there. Ithinka alli in: all, ifyou look att the: amount ofv wetlands and amount of open water that's on this property, the developable land, and of course the outfall that runs through it. Because that outfall line handles about, al little over a third of the city's sewer that goes to the eastside pump station. Taking allt those things into consideration, it would be difficult to, you know, put al large industry on what's existingr rightt there. However, that's the: answer thatI Ican providel based on what Iknow oft thej property." Anybody else that has been sworn tot testify have questions fort the city manager? Thank) you: sir.  Other questions oft the city manager?    161  We will now entertain any. further questions from City Council members for the applicant, proponents or opponents att this time. Once the public hearing is closed, the only questions posed to the applicant, proponents oro opponents. shall bej for clarification. No new evidence can bei introduced after the close ofthel Public Hearing. Soi ifanyone elsel has any questions they wish to ask ofo anybody who has been sworn to provide testimony, nowi is Ifthere are any conditions that the Council would! like to place upon the use oft the land by the applicants, those must bec agreed to by the applicant. So, ifany of you) has any condition that you would like for the applicant to consider as part of potentially. granting the conditional use permit, you: should. state what that condition is now and let us inquire of the applicant.
