Case #24-02-BOA-00001, 7886 Eversfield Road, Stokesdale, North Carolina 27357: Daniel Myers, on behalf of property owners Thomas and Carrie Johnson, is requesting a variance from Section 4-4.1(a), Dimensional Requirements, Agricultural and single-family districts, which requires a minimum 15-foot side yard setback in the AG, Agricultural, zoning district. This setback applies tot the proposed accessory structure because its size exceeds the 600 square foot PAGE10F14 threshold to permit the setback reduction to five feet from any side or rear property line allowed under Section 4-5.1(b). The subject property is zoned AG, Agricultural, and it is located in Bruce Township at 7886 Eversfield Road, Guilford County Tax Parcel #236516, comprising 1.02 acres. The specific request is to allow an eight-foot setback variance to allow a 27': x40' detached accessory structure to be constructed seven feet from the northern property line. Town Clerk Wagoner announced that any person in attendance who wishes to provide testimony during the abovementioned evidentiary hearing should please stand and be Town Clerk Wagoner swore in Town Planner Justin Snyder, Daniel W. Myers (The Applicant), Thomas P. Johnson (The Property Owner), Kevin Stewart (The Neighboring Property Owner), stating to them simultaneously the following: "Do you solemnly swear [or affirm] that the evidence you shall give to the board in this action shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but thei truth, sO help you God [as your solemn affirmation]?" To which they all verbally stated "yes" or "Ido." Mayor Pro Tem Foy declared the Evidentiary Hearing open at 7:421 PM. Town Planner Justin Snyder presented his staff report for Case #24-02-BOA-00007 stating that Thomas and Carrie Johnson, owners of the subject property located at 7886 Eversfield Road (Guilford County Tax Parcel #236516containing +/-1.02 acres) and zoned AG, Agricultural, are requesting a variance from Stokesdale Development Ordinance Sections 4-4.1, Agricultural and single-family districts, Subsection (A), Dimensional requirements for agricultural and single family districts, and Table 4-4-1, Agricultural and Single Family District Dimensional Requirements, specifically as it relates to the minimum required interior side yard setback of 15 feet in the AG, Agricultural, zoning district for primary structures and accessory structure greater than 600 square feet in area. The applicants are requesting an eight-foot setback variance to allow a 27' X 40 accessory structure to be constructed seven (7) feet from the northern side yard lot line. While they do state in the application that the purpose is to construct at three-car garage to house classic cars, staff would note that the ordinance does not distinguish the use of the accessory structure for purpose of setback calculations for accessory buildings. Rather, iti is the size of the proposed structure that puts it over the threshold of 600 square feet to require it to meet the full 15-foot side setback. Town Planner Snyder read the description for the agricultural district stating that the purpose is to preserve and encourage the continued use of land for agricultural, forest and open space purposes; to discourage scattered commercial and industrial land uses; to concentrate urban development in and around area growth centers, thereby avoiding premature conversion of farmland to urban uses; to discourage any use which, because sworn in. PAGE20F14 ofits character, would create premature or extraordinary public infrastructure. and Town Planner Synder said that the agricultural district is a single-family residential district, in addition to allowing certain agricultural uses, iti is intended to accommodate those uses of agricultural nature which also includes farm residences, farm tenant housing, as well as scattered non-farm residences on larger tracks of land. Iti is not service demands. intended for major residential subdivisions.

Mayor Pro Tem Foy formally received the evidence as presented by Mr. Justin Snyder including exhibits1 1-16. Proponents: Thomas Johnson, the owner of the property located at 7886 Eversfield Road, Stokesdale, NC, presented a PowerPoint presentation explaining why hei is asking for the rezoning. The. PowerPoint presentation included an introduction with information pertaining to the) Johnson Family along with research on the location. Mr. Johnson along with his wife and two children officially moved to the Town of Stokesdale on August 1st after purchasing the property in May of 2023. He was: relocated to the area by his job in order Mr. Johnson and his wife conducted research to determine that the northwest section of Guilford County was a good fit for their family primarily because of the local school system. The housing market in May 2023 proved to be difficult for the family who were trying to find a place to live. Mr. Johnson purchased the house at 7886 Eversfield Road while it was being built after expressing interest in purchasing the neighboring home He then presented a slide on his cars which represents a family tradition to him. As an autoworker working at the Toyota Plant in Liberty and being the son of a 32-year retiree of General Motors, Mr. Johnson expressed his love for automobiles. Two of the three cars featured in the PowerPoint slide were physically built by his father back in the The house that they moved into in Stokesdale was chosen based on the ability to Mr. Johnson spent months looking at options and placed them into a matrix trying specifically to locate a garage that would fit the: needs for the three cars to be housed around thej property and come up with a solution that was most feasible based on the application that he submitted for a variance on the north side of the property. The specific variance request was to encroach on the 15-foot section on the north side of his property line hindering into 8 feet of the 15 feet utilization for the 27: x 40 discussed Mr. Johnson answered the four questions included in the application which is part of tol help build a new manufacturing plant. which was sold before he had a chance to make an offer. 1970s. recreate garagespace for the cars. in the application process. thej process: PAGE50F14 1. Unnecessary hardship would result from the strict application of the ordinance. Strict application of the side yard setback would: reduce the size proposed of the garage requiring Mr. Johnson to sell one of the classic cars or store them offsite indefinitely at a cost. Mr. Johnson would have to sell one of the three cars. He claimed that renting a storage unit not at his residence would not be feasible with price being $120 a month per vehicle while the garage is being constructed, as well as no heat or humidity control, and insurance sustainability 2. The hardship results from conditions that are peculiar to the property, such as location, size, or topography. (Hardships resulting from personal circumstances, as well as hardships resulting from conditions that are common toi the neighborhood or public, may not be the basis for granting the variance.) Hardship results from location of dwelling, septic, and well, such that there is only one feasible build location. Most other surroundings properties have larger lots or dwellings situated on thel lots such that accessory structures could bel built also playing a factor. without a variance. 3. The hardship did not result from actions taken by the applicant or the property owner. (The act of purchasing property knowing that circumstances exist that may justify the granting of the variance is not regarded as self- created hardship). Hardship was created by the original dwelling builder in determining location of dwelling, septic, well, etc. Location of dwelling eliminates all other possible build locations. Owners seek to build only large 4. The requested variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the ordinance, such that public safety is secured, and substantial justice is achieved. The proposed garage would mimic the style and material of existing dwelling and neighborhood. Housing cars inside a permanent structure reduces the chance of theft and vandalism, while increasing the visual appeal of the neighborhood as opposed to storing the cars outside under a cover. Owners specifically researched and found a builder to do a traditional "stick" built garage to increase the property value and enhance curb appeal. enough to house the cars and parts, nothing more. Mr. Johnson then presented a rebuttal disclosing why alternative options would not work in his case. Exhibit 14 - Alternative compact garage design. vehicles, parts and shop area. Mr. Johnson said that 600 square feet was not an adequate size for his He mentioned that the previous residence that he provided examples of had two spaces with a total of1 1,288 square feet. PAGE60F14 The proposed 27x40 was reduced by about 200 square feet making it where he can physically fit the vehicles, car parts, utilities, and activities within 80 square feet. Exhibit 15 - Potential alternate garage location. Mr. Johnson said that the garage without the drive in the front for the proposed location does come right up to the septic tank from the The car lengths were measured, and they are roughly 16 to 17: feet. The proposed location provides 18 feet of clearance to the corner of the house. Thej proposed location did not show the two HVAC: systems that are part of the dwelling that is located directly in the center on the south side of thej property which would further reduce the 18-foot clearance needed to clear the ability to move the vehicles in and out of that, meeting the 15 foot proposed map. clearance on that side of thej property as well. Mr. Johnson shared three examples within 1.1 miles of his home that has other detached garages that are fairly large in size as he sees as he drives his daughter to and from school and his son to and from basketball practice. The houses mentioned include: 7827 Athens Road, Stokesdale, NC 27357 (Large detached garage greater than 77781 Eversfield Road, Stokesdale, NC: 27357 (Two large, detached garages greater 7870 Eversfield Road, Stokesdale, NC: 27357 (Three car detached metal garage 400 square feet) - 1.0 mile from his property. than 400 square feet) - 1.1 miles from his property. greater than 400 square feet) - 0.2 mile from his property. Ins summary, Mr. Johnson is requested variance approval tol be less than 15 feet setback on side of his property. The purpose for the request is to construct a stick-built car Mayor Pro Tem Foy announced that the Council would accept Mr. Johnson's presentation as evidence. Mayor Pro Tem Foy then invited anyone else that wanted to Kevin Stewart of 7888 Eversfield Road, Stokesdale, NC, spoke in: favor of Mr. Johnson who is his neighbor. Mr. Stewart said that he and his wife have no problem with Mr. Johnson building a detached garage. He mentioned that there is another house down the street from them that also had a detached garage that you can see from the road. Mayor Pro Tem Foy then opened the floor for those to speak in opposition of the garage, 27 by 42 feet for personal use to house his classic cars. speak in favor of the requests to the microphone. Opponents: request. There were: no speakers in opposition. PAGE70F14 Mayor Pro Tem Foy mentioned that Mr. Snyder mentioned that there were other locations on the property where the structure could be built and asked if that could be Mr. Johnson said that two options were provided in section 15 and 16 in the evidence section. One of the options provided was: rotating the garage 90 degrees and placing it on the south side of the property, but it would be right up: near the septic tank. The other option was to reduce the garage to the 600 threshold, which Mr. Johnson pointed out was: not physically feasible based on the square footage that he needed to house his Councilman Rigsbee asked Mr. Johnson if he had considered reducing 8-feet in the proposed garage or if he had considered attaching it to his house to move it over several Mr. Johnson said that he has a set of prints that will equal the 32x27 if the variance is not approved, but that he will not be able to get three cars in addition tol his equipment in the space based off of the square footage. He said that if thel Board denies his proposal, then he will reduce the size of the space, but will most likely have to get rid of one of his cars. In response to Councilman Rigsbee' 's inquiry about attaching the garage tol his house, Mr. Johnson said that on the north side of his house is where the main power line is, which runs out through the side of thel house and into the backyard behind his neighbor'sl house. There would not be any feasibility to move it any closer based off of the requirement by Duke Energy. He also has a backup generator installed in the event of a power outage, which would also not allow for the garage tol be expanded upon. vehicles. feet. attached due to the layout. Councilman Jones asked if Mr. Johnson had considered raising the vertical height of the structure and stacking one car over the other using one of the commonly available hydraulic lifts or building a two-car garage over the driveway and putting a single-car structure on the other side of the house to accommodate the third vehicle. Mr. Johnson said that he did investigate the first option but that it was just not feasible since it was going to be around $25,000 to $30,000. The height of the garage to put the lift in would require 15: feet. With the additional height and the different pitch of the roof, the activity toi restructure and then the secured concrete for the lifts would be too costly. Hesaid that he would do research into the second option proposed by Councilman Jones. Councilman Landreth asked Guilford County Planner Justin Snyder if the building was 27x20 under 600 square feet, ifi ito could be 51 feet from the property line. Mr. Snyder said that was correct, he could have anything under 600 square feet. Councilman Landreth asked what would happen to the ordinance: if thel Board gave Mr. Johnson the variance. PAGE80F14 Mr. Snyder said that the variance effectively supersedes the ordinance and will become the ordinance for thej property. Whichever decision is granted is what would follow in perpetuity whether Mr. Johnson sells the property or not. The variance runs with the land. Councilman Landreth clarified that it would not change the ordinance for the rest of the town. Mr. Snyder said it would not change for the rest of the town, but there would be a case. law that says that a variance granted in a neighborhood that has other Councilman Landreth asked ifi it made a difference that the neighbor was okay with the changes because from his point of view the matter should be handled between the two of them. Attorney Winfree said that just because someone consents to it, does not Councilman Rigsbee brought up that it looked like there was a considerable distance between Mr. Johnson's driveway and Mr. Stewart's house. He asked Mr. Johnson if he considered buying that piece of property. Mr. Johnson said that he and Mr. Stewart had discussed that but decided that it was not ai feasible option because Mr. Stewart's utilities, well, water, and septic appear tol be within that 15 foot on his side of the property. It did not seem feasible on Mr. Johnson's side of thej property if he decided to Mayor Pro Tem Foy asked Attorney Winfree that based off his packet he could see that the set-back is listed as being 10-feet. He asked to confirm whether the set-back is 10 or 15-feet. Attorney Winfree said that the 10-foot setback was what was promised to the Councilman Landreth asked if they were opening themselves up for any type of lawsuit in case that he changes his mind if they were to pass it. Attorney Winfree said that they could have a condition written up, notarized, and sent to the owner of lot four to Councilman Jones asked Attorney Winfree to clarify that the Town of Stokesdale does not enforce private restrictions. Attorney Winfree confirmed that the Town does not Mayor Pro Tem Foy reminded everyone present that thel hearing is for the variance on the set-back. Mr. Johnson said he included additional information in the packet because Councilman Jones asked ifa a licensed surveyor marked the property line confirming that the information being provided to the Board is accurate. Mr. Johnson said that a contractor pulled a partial map that was part of the county records.

PM. Councilman Jones seconded the motion. Chris Sumner Councilman Landreth YES Councilman Jones Motion carried (5-0). YES YES Mayor Pro Tem Foy YES Councilman Rigsbee YES Mayor Pro Tem Foy introduced the first conclusion that the Board must reach before they may issue a variance: (1) Unnecessary hardship would result from the strict application of ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Foy asked for the Board's thoughts on that. Mayor Pro Tem Foy said that looking at the property in the setback, he believes that the hardship needs to be more than an inconvenience or preference for a more. lenient Councilman Jones said that after reading through the documents, he believes that iti is harsh towards those seeking a variance as far as the legal tests go. He said that they do not have a lot of latitude to insert their own opinion about how it should be. Councilman Landreth said that Mr. Johnson meets the criteria for number four. He mentioned that the neighbor is okay with it and because of this iti is fair that he wants to Councilman Jones said that if the Board were to find that Mr. Johnson does not meet the requirements for the variance and they do: not approve it, that the Board would only need to state one or more that apply, which is a different standard from approving the Town Attorney Winfree said that in order for the variance to be granted, thel Board members must find all four of the factors tol be true. To deny the variance, all they would need is for two of the Board members to find that one is not met. standard as the way the ordinance is written. build a building. variance. PAGE100F14 Mayor Pro Tem Foy went back to number one focusing on the unnecessary hardship that would result from the strictapplication of the ordinance. He stated that he struggled to see the hardship that is unique to the property itself. Any regulation from the government is a hardship or inconvenience to any property owner, but the setbacks Councilman Landreth said that is something that should be looked at and changed if Mayor Pro Tem Foy said looking into the findings of fact for any hardship that exists here; he requested If the Board sees a hardship due to the strict application of the are common. consent is granted and the property owners agree. ordinance to share it. Councilman Jones said that in regards to: number one after reading in detail, based off of his oath of office and his understanding of what he is required to do by the strict letter of the law, that there are other options for the use of property and because of this he does not think he could sign off and state that there is an unnecessary hardship that will result from the strict application of the ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Foy agreed. Councilman Rigsbee agreed with Councilman Jones and Mayor Pro Tem Foy, as well. Hej pointed out that there are other options that would still give Mr. Johnson four garage spaces for three cars. Mr. Sumner said that he could not find any hardships either. Councilman Landreth said that he thinks the ordinance is written poorly. He The Board then moved on to the second conclusion: (2) Thel hardship does result from conditions that are peculiar to the property such as location, size, or topography. Hardships resulting from personal circumstances, as well as hardships resulting from conditions that are common to the neighborhood, or the general public may not be the Councilman Landreth asked whether they needed to go through each: number if they Town Attorney Winfree said that it sounded like it was unanimous that number one was not met and that they could move to deny without discussing the rest. Mr. Snyder said that since the applicant answered all four questions in the application of thel Board, Mayor Pro Tem Foy proceeded to discuss the second conclusion. He said that he did not think that topography was thei issue and asked about size. Attorney Winfree said that thel location of the well and the septic were the most inhibiting factors in other locations.

Councilman Rigsbee agreed saying that he viewed it as a personal request instead ofa a The Board then moved on to discuss the third conclusion: (3) The hardship did not result from actions taken by the applicant or thej property owner. (The act of purchasing property knowing that circumstances exist that may justify the granting of the variance Attorney Winfree said that the Board could find in favor of the applicant on some of the Councilman Rigsbee asked for clarification if the Board should consider what could be versus what has happened up until thej point of the discussion concerning the property. Attorney Winfree clarified that you consider what has been done previously. Councilman Rigsbee said that the applicant did not create the hardship that resulted in actions. Councilman Landreth and Councilman Jones agreed. The Board then discussed the fourth conclusion: (4) The requested variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the ordinance, such that public safety is secured, and substantial justice is achieved. Councilman Landreth said that in his opinion it would be justice for Mr. Johnson tol build ifiti is okay with his neighbor. Councilman Jones agreed with Councilman Landreth saying that he thought that would keep with Mayor Pro Tem Foy said that having the adjacent property owner taking time out of his day to come before them and share his support with the Board meant a lot and that he The Board agreed on items three and four that the applicant has shown what would be needed toi request a variance, but they did not agree with items one and two.

Major residential: subdivisions have been added along Haw River Road, Ellison Road, Angel Pardue Road, and Belews Creek Road. Excepti int thet town core, homes are on large lots that cover an acre or more. This is because there is no public sewer service available and significant area must be available for septic drain fields on each lot. Recommendation Staff Recommendation: Approve Statement of Reasonableness and Consistency Reasonableness: This proposed rezoning action is reasonable and in the public interest because itisi in an area where single-family residential uses are prevalent, and there would be no change in the minimum required lot size between the AG, Agricultural, zoning district and the RS-40, Consistency: The request is consistent with the Stokesdale Future Land Use Plan designation of Residential; thus, if approved, ai future land use plan amendment is not required.

The bypass route was established in 2016 during the alternatives analysis phase of environmental document (approved 2018) for NCDOT project R-2577C to widen US 158 between. Anthony Road and US 220 in Stokesdale. Based on that, the alignment was included int the consolidated Thoroughfare The Stokesdale Town Council, Guilford County Planning Board, and area property owners and residents have requested the MPO reevaluate the need for the bypass and if appropriate remove it from the Thoroughfare and Collector Plan. MPO has reviewed the matter via technical evaluation of current and expected future traffic, assessment of the project's performance in the NCDOT prioritization funding competition to date, consideration of relative cost to benefit, and comments and other input provided by interested persons and entities. Review findings are that the US 158 Stokesdale Bypass is unwarranted by area traffic, is prohibitively expensive relative to the benefits, and will not be a competitive contender for future funding in the years ahead. Roadway safety, operational, and capacity improvements on existing area roadways in a manner consistent provide a cost effective and appropriate alternative strategy for addressing future area roadway and Collector Plan adopted by the MPO: inl May 2023. needs. Staff Recommendations because: Staff recommends removal ofUS 158 Stokesdale Bypass from the Thoroughfare and Collector Plan roadway build-scenario analysis mobility improvements are marginal compared to no-build scenario; prohibitively high-cost (R-2577C cost estimate: $123,000,000) compared to marginal benefits make project a cost-ineffective and infeasible strategy for addressing area traffic needs; cost-ineffective projects with high price tags but only marginal benefits have no path to funding under 60% of commenters supported bypass removal. 40% who favored retaining bypass cited concerns over future traffic, however as documented herein, lower cost improvements on existing roadways would Itis further recommended that the MPO: and NCDOT continue to partner together to identify and implement further needed roadway safety, operational, and capacity improvements on existing area roadways on an ongoing basis including through the pending 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan development process and future updates, the Highway Safety Improvement Program, and the NCDOT Strategic Transportation Investments prioritization process. NCDOT Project R-5823, conceived ofin part as an alternative to a US 158 Stokesdale Bypass, exemplifies this strategy by improving NC 65 and NC 68: in the Stokesdale area through a series of intersection, safety, and operational improvements with construction NCDOT's STI prioritization process; provide a similar or greater level oft mobility in a more economical way. currently scheduled in FY 2026 Page 1 US 158 Stokesdale Bypass May 8, 2024 Thoroughfare & Collector Street Plan Amendment Documentation of Review & Findings The MPO evaluation of the need for the bypass and its potential removal from the Thoroughfare and Collector Plan included a multi-part process including consultation with NCDOT and member agencies, analysis oft traffic and future funding potential, review of project history, and publicinvolvement. Consultation with NCDOT and TCC member agencies MPO staff and] NCDOT consulted on the matter on multiple occasions starting in early through March 2024. Staffcoordinated with Guilford County as well. This includeda Thoroughfare & Collector Plan presentation to Guilford County Planning Board in September 2023. After that meeting Guilford County requested the MPO review and address the Stokesdale Bypass issue and fully resolve it before bringing the plan back for consideration for adoption by the County. Significant consultation was held with the Town of Stokesdale also, culminating inj participation alongside NCDOT staff at the March 14 Town Council meeting where the matter was discussed in detail. Finally, staff consulted TCC and' TAC about the upcoming item at the March 2024 meeting. Public Input A30 day public review period was held from April 1 through. April 30, 2024.

The analysis considered socioeconomic factors (housing, employment), effects on regional travel patterns overall, and effects on future traffic flow volumes in the project area. The analysis compared no-build and build scenarios to assess trafficvolumes and travel patterns with and without the project. Thel build scenario showed Staff assessed cost effectiveness in a qualitative manner using available information sources. First, given that R-2577C cost is estimated at $123,000,000 and the benefits compared to a no-build scenario are marginal in nature, the project would be highly cost-ineffective, meaning lower cost operational and intersection improvements on existing roadways would provide a similar or greater level oft mobility in a more economical and realistic way. Secondly, staff reviewed data from NCDOT's prioritization tool to corroborate this assessment. The project has consistently scored on the lower end of the Statewide and Regional roadway mobility funding competitions, puttingit it clearly out oft range of being a contender for obtaining funding. The MPO carried out an independent high-level analysis using the regional travel demand model and historical traffic volumes. This analysis included an examination ofs socioeconomic factors including population, household, and employment data, along with an evaluation oft theiri influence on overall regional travel patterns and projected traffic flow volumes within the project area. Historical traffic volume data spanning from 2017 to 2021 was examined, revealing a slight decrease in recent years. By leveraging the latest Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) data from 2021 and utilizing the regional travel demand model (2017 - 2045), two scenarios were forecasted for traffic patterns: one without any construction (no-build) and the other incorporating the proposed project (build). Growth rates were derived from segments within the project area, utilizing outputs from the regional travel demand model.. A growth rate of1.75% was marginal (minor) mobility improvements compared with the no-build scenario. Trafic Anabyusis Details applied in the forecasting process. Figure 1 illustrates traffic volume count stations (NCDOT), while the accompanying table presents the 2021 AADT and the forecast results for both no- build and build scenarios.

Prgject History Details NCDOT started worked on project R-2577 15-20 years ago. In those days, the entirety of US 158 between Winston-Salem and its easternmost terminus near the coast was on a short list of projects eligible for a large pot of dedicated funding under the Intrastate System established under the 1989. Act establishing the current State Highway Trust Fund. However, in 2013 the Strategic Transportation Investment (STI). Act established the Strategic Mobility Formula. Under STI, the same the State Highway Trust Fund revenues previously dedicated to Urban Loops and the Intrastate System became available for a wide range of potential improvements. Under the STT process needs-based data-driven scoring define base line need, and local input points applied by MPOs, RPOs, and NCDOTI Divisions are applied to set final rankings. The ranked results are used to select projects for funding under the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). STI removed the dedicated funding for Intrastate roadways, meaning potential projects such as R-2577 would have to compete for funding, and would only bei implemented if competitive against other projects statewide The first Public Meeting for R-2577 in Stokesdale was April 10, 2012. Work on the environmental document began with NCDOT and Merger Team years prior to thel Public Meeting. The first Public Meetings introduced the study area and alternate alignments. The Merger Team, representatives from NCDOT, all permitting agencies and two MPOs, met at decision set points in development oft the environmental document and project, beginning with Purpose and Need to final project alignment and environmental document. Thel last public meeting was October 26, 2017 which showed the proposed right- of-way and roadway configuration as a superstreet. The environmental document was completed December 13, 2018 identifying three segments for R-2577: A North ofI-40 Bus / US 421 to Belews Creek Road; B Belews Creek Road to. Anthony Road; C. Anthony Road to I-73 /1 US220. It defined the purpose and need statement as to improve the tnafic carying caparily and level of service along US 158, within the prjedt limits.

The public outreach campaign notified interested persons, organizations, and other entities of the draft plan under consideration and the opportunity to provide comments directly or via a twelve-question web survey hosted on Survey Monkey. This effort yielded fifteen responses (12 from the survey, 3 from email) that offer a diverse range of perspectives and insights In addition MPO staff, along with NCDOT representatives, attended a meeting oft the Stokesdale Town Council Meeting on March 14. The purpose of the meeting was for Town officials and residents and other interested parties to learn about, discuss, and consider the merits of the planned US 158 Bypass and its removal from the MPOThoroughfare and Collector Plan and the draft Town of Stokesdale Thoroughfare and Collector Plan for future Town consideration of adoption. That meeting had been publicized to Stokesdale residents by the Town of Stokesdale using its regular meeting notification procedures.

Kernersville and Stokesdale are growing and US 158 widening is needed to lessen congestion, increase safety and create more economic development in the area. 4 MPO Response: Thank you for your comments. As development in the area and traffic volumes on area roadways increase, thel MPO will work with NCDOT, the Town of Stokesdale, and Guilford County to identify and develop cost effectivei improvements to the existing street network measures to address congestion and safety issues as they emerge. Thoroughfare & Collector Street Plan Amendment: US 158 Bypass Comments not concerned about congestion in the project corridor: C6. Not too bad. Can be handled by existing roads with improvements in future. C7. Congestion is not that bad. C8. No need for a bypass around Stokesdale. Traffic is not excessive and is in fact less since new: interstate C9.Ibelieve there is congestion during the school year at Stokesdale Elementary and 158. However, this is only twice a day (and the school has asked parents to enter the area from a different road rather than stay lined up (backed up) on 158.Ilive off158 and turn right onto the road every work day around 6:20.Ido not have to wait to turn onto 158. I cannot comment on future congestion, not knowing enough on development road opened plans. C10. New connector from 68 to 220 has helped congestion stop light at Hwy 158 and Angel Pardue Road C11. Bypass is NOT needed..spend money on existing intersections to make safer and more efficient. Install : MPO Response: Thank you for your comments. MPO and NCDOT analysis agree that current and foreseeable congestion levels do not warrant a multilane widening or a multilane US 1581 bypass. The future focus will be on developing appropriate, cost effective responses to area traffic and safety issues in ai manner Question 5-1 Do you think the US 158 widening and bypass are needed in the future? How much weight should be given to the cost of the projects versus the benefits to consistent with community needs and preferences. residents? Comments in support of the Stokesdale Bypass: C1. Yes, there should be weight. Everyone weights out cost and benefit to everything we buy. Maybe look at C2. This area is seeing latge scale development sO a road system ahead of congestion would be welcome. C3. Yes. Iti is needed. It's already dangerous pulling into 158.

Thoroughfare & Collector Street Plan Amendment: US 158 Bypass handle growth, cost should not factori into the decision. Perhaps a local sales tax of1 1% could help raise funds for the project. : MPO Response: Thank you for your comments. MPO staffand NCDOT analysis found the benefits to motorized traffic flowin the area would be relatively small when compared against the substantial cost of the Stokesdale Bypass. Operational improvements will be ai more cost effective and feasible strategy. This finding is substantiated by the fact that NCDOT prioritization process results over the last ten years make it clear that it is highly improbable that the US 158 Stokesdale Bypass would ever score highly enough to be funded given its extremely high cost and relatively low benefits. Comments opposed to the Stokesdale Bypass: C6. After very thoughtful consideration and memories ofl living in Stokesdale 50 yrs ago,I feel that a bypass around the town would harm rather be al help to businesses. My interest would bei in widening the existing road (Hwy 158). Residents along Hwy 158 may be concerned about the fast moving traffic, also a big problem. Ilook forward to hearing about any changes.* C7.Nota at all. It's not needed and would be a costly boondoggle. C8. No. It think iti is disenfranchising landowners and taking their property. C9.Idoubti it will ever be needed. C10.Ido not know. I do feel the cost is entirely too high for the benefits to residents. C11. No. Cost VS benefit is extremely important. C12. Not need. Cost well exceeds any benefit as well as it will destroy land C13. Remove the future planned project Part C: from the existing plans to bypass downtown Stokesdale.* C14.Iam pleased tol hear that the above action is not going to happen. I have lived in Stokesdale, very close tot the US 158: and have seen no need for any widening. The traffic does not warrant an expenditure of funds for this area oft this road. Traffic moves along well and since 173/ 220 have lightened the traffic load,I believe you are making the correct decision.* * MPO Response: Thank you for your comments. The MPO concurs that the expected benefits would not justify the high costs of the US 158 Bypass. Current NCDOT cost estimates put the cost of R-2577C (which includes the Stokesdale Bypass at $123 million. Meanwhile, recent NCDOT: analysis of potential widening of NC 65 and NC 68, an alternate route around US 158 through the core of Stokesdale, would not warrant Thoroughfare & Collector Street Plan Amendment: US 158 Bypass four lane widening by 2045, and that instead a series ofi intersection and safety improvements will be more appropriate. These improvements, which NCDOT conceived in part as a potential alternative to a Stokesdale Bypass are currently scheduled for construction in FY2 2026. Question 6.
