Parcel ID #s 188559, 188560 Property Size: Approximately: 3.6acres  Current Zoning Classification: R-2 Proposed Zoning Classification: CZ Land Use Plan Recommendation: Planned Mixed Use  Mr. & Mrs. Price have submitted a request to amend the existing zoning mapi for property identified by tax parcels 188559: and 188560. These parcels are approximately 3.6acres and are locatedj just north of 4017S. New Hope Rd. The parcels fronting on S. New Hope Road were rezoned from B-1t to B-2i in 20191 to allow for mini-storage. Originally the request for rezoning tol B-2 had included these two parcels; after feedback from the Planning Board, the applicant opted to remove the request for B-2 on these parcels and pursue a Conditional Zoning at al later date. The primary reason for the removal of the properties from that rezoning application was to ensure that al larger, more adequate buffer was The proposed CZ district would allow for the completion of the minis storage warehouse facility, and would allow for outdoor storage similar tot the property to the west. This storage would be buffered by the 100ft vegetated buffer shown on the CZ site plan. Staff recommends that the 100ft buffer be labeled as undisturbed; the natural vegetation on the site should provide ample buffer between the proposed uses and the adjacent residential development. The Future Land Use Plani fort the Town recommends Planned Mixedi in this area, which would be inconsistent with this request. However, the ability to achieve at full Planned Mixed Use in this area at this time is challenging given the lack of consistent ownership of parcels, lack of coordinated development of multiple properties in this area at this time, and inability for a planned mixed usep project envisioned under the Land Use Plani to be served by public utilities. The proposed zoning change, and proposed use, would provide an economic benefit toi the Town in facilitating development ofa an unused commercial property, while still being able to allow the transition of the property to uses more in line with the Land Use Plani ini the future. Iti is also consistent with recent zoning changes approved by the Town directly adjacent  required adjacent to residential development tot the north.  tot these parcels.

Per previous discussions during BOC meetings in 2019, the State of NC has changed their required external audit practices that must bei followed by municipalities. Inthe past, as small firm like Collis & Associates were able to do both Audit and Financial Statement documents.. This is no longer the case as the state has made it necessary for there tol be clearer separation of duties on the audit and financial statement documents. It should also be noted that Bill Rivenbark of the UNC School of Government recommends a "best practice"of  changing auditors every five (5) years.

NCGS requirements. Recommendation  Management is recommending the Cramerton BOC approve Martin Starnes for a three year The price is higher than Cramerton has been paying in the past (usually between $8,000-$9,000 in previous years for Collis & Associates). Due to the NCGS mandate of clearer separation of duties between the group preparing the Audit and Financial Statement documents, the price Furthermore, management is recommending the higher priced firm because, in the past four (4) audit cycles, it is clear that using the less expensive, smaller firm puts an unnecessary burden on Cramerton Finance staff to continually follow-up to get the audit submitted to the State. Audits are usually submitted to the State around September and Cramerton's has continually been submitted in December or even the beginning of the following year (January). The extra cost oft the larger firm should ensure Cramerton's audit is completed and sent on time With the longevity and ample experience that Martin Starnes has with municipalities of all sizes (i.e. Belmont, Gastonia, Matthews), this is the best option for Cramerton moving forward,  contract to perform both the Audit and Financial Statement documents.  was always going to be higher (the lowest option is now $16,500).  without taking away from Finance Staff.  especially given the continued growth.  155 North Main St., Cramerton, North Carolina 28032  Phone: 704-824-4337  Fax: 704-824-8943  49    E  50    5  2 8 E  3  3  2  51    8 5  3 @ b0 a o  52    8 L aU  e b0 e  1 D 0  53
