**********************************

Call to Order/Opening Prayer/Pledge of Allegiance

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm. Mayor Davis gave the invocation and led

the Pledge of Allegiance.

Public Comment

Citizens were offered an opportunity to address the Board regarding items listed on the

agenda. No comments were offered.

Mayor Davis recognized Town Manager Chris Seaberg; this being his first official

meeting with the Board of Commissioners.

Adoption of Agenda

Commissioner Herrick moved, seconded by Commissioner Keagy, to approve the

Agenda and Consent Items below.

Meeting Minutes

June 25, 2019 Closed Session Minutes

July 23, 2019 Regular Meeting Minutes

August 6, 2019 Special Meeting Minutes

August 13, 2019 Closed Session Minutes

Mayor Pro Tem Tursi inquired whether either set of closed session minutes could be

released. Attorney Parson was agreeable to release the June 25, 2019. The motion was

amended to include the release of June 25, 2019 and unanimously approved.

Appointments/Recognitions/Presentations

Military Exercise Presentation

The Town of Swansboro had entered into an agreement in May 2019 with the US

Marine Corps/2d Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company for training exercises in

Swansboro for the next five years. Representatives from US Marine Corps/2d Air Naval

Gunfire Liaison Company gave a briefing on the upcoming exercise dates (October 2-3)

in Swansboro. The exercise would be very similar to the one conducted in April of this

year; a dry (all weapons and munitions simulated) realistic training exercise. The only

indication of training occurring on the ground would be several civilian vehicles in

town with radios. Overall, the impact on the civilian population would be very

5

Page 5: Agenda 2 September 24, 2019 Regular Meeting Minutes

Page 2 of 6

minimal. Swansboro sits below air space between Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point

military bases. Because nighttime training was needed, training hours would be 1200 –

2100 and 2000-7000 feet above. Unmarked government vehicles would be used with

operations from those vehicles.

Economic Development Presentation

Mark Sutherland, Jacksonville Onslow Economic Development (JOED) Executive

Director gave a presentation on economic development statistics and trends throughout

Onslow County. A copy of the presentation to be attached to the minutes.

Mr. Sutherland reminded the Board that Swansboro was the only local government

with a Strategic Plan. JOED was available as an extension of the town staff to assist

with implementations of the plan at any time.

In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Sutherland indicated that salaries were

low throughout the county. Eighteen percent of the jobs in Onslow County were retail.

Twenty-one percent of the jobs were hospitality - restaurants, hotels etc. Two percent

were manufacturing job. Wages were low due to supply and demand. For example,

Coastal Community College had a job vacancy for a young professional in the small

business center that required a bachelor’s degree but paid minimum wage. Why,

because they had 187 applicants, and someone took that job at minimum wage. If the

excess supply does not get addressed, then wages would stay low and manufacturing

and high-tech job businesses would not consider the area. Mr. Sutherland shared that

he was focused on attracting skilled labor to the county. Part of the solution was also to

establish a quality sense of place where professional people want to live. The area had a

big gap between the talent pool and jobs available that needed to be addressed.

In response to attracting companies that offer remote working and higher salaries like

PPD in New Hanover County, Mr. Sutherland believed quality co-worker space and

flexible hours were important. JOED had reached out to 16 companies, 8 of them

instantly replied that they were interested in tapping into our talent pool - Boeing,

Lockheed Martin, Wells Fargo, and USAA were among those interested.

Business Non-Consent

Contract - Timmons Group for Additional Downtown Traffic Movement Research and

Implementation of Recommendations

In February 2019 and again in August 2019, Jeff Hochanadel of the Timmons Group

gave presentations on the firm’s completion of the traffic analysis report of downtown

in November of 2018. Following the presentation in August, Board members were

supportive on moving forward to begin discussions with NCDOT, options on

6

Page 6: Agenda 2 September 24, 2019 Regular Meeting Minutes

Page 3 of 6

recommended street striping and crosswalks. Mr. Hochanadel had indicated that work

beyond the study/recommendations would require a separate contract and extensive

work. He was asked to provide a quote at the next regular meeting to further research

and begin some of the implementation on those recommendations. The quote for the

additional work was $29,900. Staff sought guidance on proceeding with contract

execution.

Board members shared concern with the overall price tag and the lack of full

understanding on what was to be done. Manager Seaberg agreed that staff could

probably complete some of the implementation, but the Town did not have an engineer

on staff so discussions with NCDOT may require that expertise. Staff would work to

better breakdown the proposed implementation plan with specific costs and present it

January/February 2020 timeframe. Mr. Hochanadel made need to come back to give

explanations on the implementation plan prepared. It was stated that implementation

needed to be complete before the next tourist season arrived though. Manager Seaberg

would contact NCDOT to better understand the cost associated with the traffic signal

improvements at Main Street Extension suggested.

August Financial Report

Finance Director Sonia Johnson gave the Financial Report for August 2019, included in

the power point attached to these minutes. Commissioner Herrick was interested in

more breakdown of encumbrances. Commissioner Hatlestad felt the Town was

financially sound and suggested that the Board consider what it might do with the

excess in revenues before the Board terms expired. Director Johnson indicated that the

month of December would better determine the Town’s financial state. Manager

Seaberg would work on a recommendation.

Public Comments

Citizens were offered an opportunity to address the Board regarding items not listed on

the agenda. None were provided.

Manager’s Report/Comments

The following updates/topics were provided in the Manager’s Report:

1. Fireworks Update – Staff continued to work with entities involved in doing our best

to arrange fireworks for Mullet Festival. Staff and the NC Wildlife Commission viewed

the site(s) on Wednesday, August 28th and they had no issues. Public Works would

arrange for cleanup of the area required by the pyrotechnic team on the island. The

contract with Hale Artificers, Inc., had been signed. The Coast Guard had given

approval and the MOU with the State (Owner) was being reviewed by the Attorney

7

Page 7: Agenda 2 September 24, 2019 Regular Meeting Minutes

Page 4 of 6

General. As a reminder, the fireworks contract with Hale Artificier, Inc. was $2000

more than the $13,000 budgeted for fireworks. A budget amendment would be

forthcoming once staff determined the cleanup cost of the island.

2. NC State Demographer’s Preliminary Population Estimates for 2018 – Preliminary

estimates provided a 2018 population increase for the town limits. In 2017, our

population was 2,988. The 2018 estimate - 3,045.

3. Hurricane Dorian/September 5th – Swansboro was thankful to have dodged any major

damage from Hurricane Dorian. Staff completed the damage assessment and was able

to secure the EOC on Friday, September 6th.

4. Mullet Festival Planning – Staff held a planning session on September 11th to

discuss/collaborate to assure a successful/safe upcoming Mullet Festival. A contact

number would be added to the downtown resident letter to aid in assistance

to the elderly/handicap in getting to their vehicles should they need it to during the

festival weekend.

5. Shipwright Point Phase II Final Plat – Staff approved the final plat for phase II earlier

this month. Appropriate surety/warranties were in place. A recreation fee in lieu of land

was required and paid in the amount of $19,817.

6. Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) – The Town had been awarded grant funding

in the amount of $37,677. The local match was $1,833 (total $39,566). Funds would allow

the Fire Department to install a vehicle exhaust removal system in the department.

Chief Tessing sought permission to apply for the matching grant funding on October

23, 2018. Funding was allocated in the FY 19/20 Budget.

7. Congratulations to Finance Director Sonia Johnson and the rest of the Finance Staff -

Word was received on September 6, 2019 that the Town’s FY 2018 Comprehensive

Annual Financial Report received the GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement for

Excellence. This was a great honor and a tribute to the hard work the Finance Staff had

put forth for the Town.

8. Onslow County/Camp Lejeune Joint Land Use Study Update – Staff was currently

reviewing the July 24, 2019 draft of this update in preparation for a final draft

meeting on September 25th. Action by the Board would be needed on this item later

this year. Staff would provide better detail on the subject later.

9. Onslow Comprehensive Transportation Plan - Staff was currently reviewing the 2019

8

Page 5 of 6

draft of this update in preparation for a final draft meeting on October 2nd. Action

by the Board would be needed on this item later this year. Staff would provide better

detail on this subject when that time comes.

10. Norris Road Project – Wal-Mart partnered with adjacent property owners to adjust

their western entrance to align with the Norris Road/NC Hwy 24 intersection. This

project dated back to 2015 and had now come to fruition. The new, four-way

intersection would include a stop light to better control the traffic flows.

11. King’s Car Wash Project - Swansboro Technical Review Committee finished a

review for King’s Car Wash proposed to be located at 1116 Corbett Avenue. Per the

Table of Permitted Uses in the UDO, the use was permitted by right and did not require

Board action.

12. South Eastern NC Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update - The State

had recently pushed for these plans to cover a larger region and not be County

focused. With that said, Onslow County had been included in this new region that

included Brunswick, Pender, and New Hanover Counties. Staff would be involved

throughout the process and give updates as they become available. Please note that

the Town currently fell under the 2015 Onslow County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard

Mitigation Plan and that Plan would serve as our guide until the year 2021.

13. Ward Shore Project Update – Staff received word from our contractor that they

anticipate finishing their part of this project by mid-October. The plantings would be

delayed until Spring 2020 to ensure plant longevity.

14. Bulletproof Vest Grant – The Town received word today of its award in the amount

**********************************

Call to Order/Opening Prayer/Pledge of Allegiance

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm. Mayor Davis gave the invocation and led

the Pledge of Allegiance. It was noted that the meeting tonight would be conducted as

a Land Use Plan Workshop to discuss/review the plan contents and its application.

Planning Board members had been encouraged to attend the meeting as well.

Business Non-Consent

Land Use Plan Discussion and Review

The Town adopted the CAMA Land Use Plan Update (LUP) in January 22, 2019. The

NC Division of Coastal Management (DCM) formally adopted the plan on May 6, 2019

as well. Since its adoption, there had been occasions when certain contents of the plan

came into question, specifically, with projects that had wetlands.

Manager Seaberg led the review of the LUP explaining that the LUP was the document

that provided guidance and direction on policy and regulatory updates (i.e. Unified

Development Plan). The plan provided a roadmap for future development and

investment decisions, communicates a community’s vision and goals for the future, and

helps inform rezoning cases and development decisions. What the plan did not do was

infringe on existing uses or buildings, handcuff decision-makers during rezoning’s,

invoke down zonings of developed properties, create nonconformities, or change the

Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Key elements of the LUP were reviewed and

can found in the power point attached to these minutes which included; primary themes,

community visions, future land use designations, implementation measures, and post

adoption actions.

Wetlands were defined as interfaces between land and water characterized by having

hydric soils, hydrophytic plants and wetland hydrology. Wetlands were regulated by

the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) and the US Army Corps of Engineers

(USACE). There were more than 16 types of wetlands in NC regulated under three

categories and defined as 404 Wetlands, Isolated/non-404 wetlands, and Coastal

(CAMA) wetlands. In addition, a definition was given to clarify the difference between

404 wetlands and the 401 Water Quality Certifications (WQC), also found in the power

point presentation attached.

11

Page 11: Agenda 2 September 24, 2019 Regular Meeting Minutes

Page 2 of 3

Staff sought instruction on next steps. Defining the different types of wetlands was a

start, but Manager Seaberg felt the Town should develop standards as to how it would

review different actions pertaining to wetlands.

• Do we allow the filling of non-jurisdictional wetlands if USACE approves?

• Do we permit the fill and construction of a new wetland?

• Do we push for avoidance?

In response to inquiries from the Board, Manager Seaberg shared that the Town could

review and suggest amendments to its LUP. The USACE must review any

additions/updates to the LUP to ensure the Town was not exceeding its authority.

According to Manager Seaberg, the Town could not be more restrictive that the USACE,

but the Town could voice opposition.

During discussion, the following points/suggestions were made; Mayor Pro Tem Tursi

recommended that the staff still arrange for experts from CAMA, USACE and other

organizations to provide a better understanding on what makes Swansboro’s LUP

better than most. Ultimately, the Town should hope the Division of Coastal

Management would ask the Dept of Commerce to certify the Town’s LUP. If that

happened, 404 wetland permits would require review/comments by the Town.

Commissioner Turner referenced the “Key Points” and “Recommendations written in

the LUP (Appendix A-29 and A-30). The Town needed to decide whether to add

language as suggested so we don’t create conflict for developers. She also noted that

she preferred an incentive approach in lieu of regulatory, as did Mayor Davis. Mayor

Pro Tem Tursi suggested that the Planning Board move forward on its review of the

R/A zoning district and implementation of the future land designations recommended

within the LUP. The wetland issue/better understanding of such, could be set aside

until a meeting with the experts could be had. Mayor Davis didn’t want the LUP

review just set aside as it had been a contentious issue since the Bailey Center was first

presented. Commissioner Keagy was hopeful that a checklist and/or guidelines for

developers would be put into place to make it easier for them. Commissioner Hatlestad

offered that whatever was developed, the Town’s Mission Statement should be directed

to the Town core values. The ability to negotiate and compromise were also important.

Public Comments

Doris Tursi/270 River Reach Drive asked that the result of filling in a 404 wetland be

defined. Mayor Pro Tem Tursi gave examples; Mayfair in Wilmington was built on a

404 wetland – 30+ acres. Land’s End across the street from Mayfair now had increased

flooding as well as adjacent areas. The Bailey Center in Swansboro was built on 404

wetlands – shortly after construction it rained 3 inches – the stormwater pond

overflowed, the parking lot flooded resulting in several of rainwater spilling out onto

12

Page 12: Agenda 2 September 24, 2019 Regular Meeting Minutes

Page 3 of 3

NC24. Mrs. Tursi was encouraged by the Board’s incentive to protect Swansboro. If

crucial areas were defined and perimeters established – then perhaps incentives

wouldn’t be necessary.

Meredith Meilleur/220 River Reach Drive was also concerned the additional

development in the Town that did not have wetlands.

Brad Buckley/208 Nakida Court believed that the UDO was the place to start in defining

incentives.

Christine Ramsey/92 Bonita Lane indicated that the Planning Board had a one-page

program of work to complete. They needed to recommend implementation of what the

LUP already suggested – not create more regulations.

Manager Seaberg assured the Board and public there was no intent to put the LUP on

the shelf. The transition of Managers and the Planner in 2019 had played a huge part in

the down time. Mayor Davis asked that the priority for the new Planner be the LUP

and its implementation to include defining wetlands.

Board Comments

⁕ Commissioner Hatlestad felt other towns had models Swansboro could use – the

Town didn’t need to re-invent the wheel.

⁕ Commissioner Herrick stated that the RA zoning proposed changing the average from

1.5 acres to 3-acre requirements, which is in direct conflict with the LUP. He inquired

why that proposal would have been presented that way. Manager Seaberg did not

have the history on the proposal but had read through some of the minutes. In

reference to the one gentleman who was opposed to the change that had land off Sudan

Lane; Manager Seaberg offered that this situation might be better handled as a rezoning

to accommodate the parcel splits he wanted.

⁕ Mayor Davis indicated that the lack of a node at Queens Creek/NC24 needed to be

addressed.

Adjournment

On a motion by Commissioner Herrick, seconded by Commissioner Keagy the meeting

adjourned at 7:33 pm.
