After a four hour publichearing on Tuesday night,January 18, the Moore Coun-ty Board of Commissionerstabled MHK Ventures' requestfor Planned Unit Develop-ment - Hamlet [PUD-H] rezon-ing for the proposed PineForest Golf Club subdivision,pending further review byboth the Planning Depart-ment and the Board. ThePlanning Department isexpected to bring recom-mendations to the Board'sFebruary 1 or February 15regular meeting. After hearing testimony

during the quasi-judicial pub-lic hearing that developmentmight threaten the headwa-ters of Nick’s Creek, Com-missioner Larry Caddellasked to withdraw from vot-ing on the rezoning request,because he felt he could not

rule impartially. “It’s hard for me not to be

partial after spending thir-teen years of knowing Nick'sCreek,” the former CarthageMayor said. "I've never runfrom a vote," he told TheTimes during a break in themeeting. But his intimateknowledge of the creek and itsimportance to the Carthagewater system, he added,made it difficult for him torender the impartial decisionrequired.After Caddell made his

request to withdraw, his fel-low Commissioners votedunanimously to excuse himfrom further considerationof the matter.

Initiated over five years agoby a petition of property own-ers, the construction andpaving of Woodland CircleExtension is officially com-

plete. But the possibility thata majority stakeholder couldwalk — potentially leavingFoxfire Village with a $1.5million unpaid assessment— dominated discussion at aPublic Hearing on Thursday,

January 13.Addressing the Village

Council on behalf of JohnMcKean, who owns a signif-icant portion of the propertyto be assessed, attorney JohnMay argued that the Villagewas asking his client to paymore than his fair share ofthe cost. Using the equal rate per

acre methodology laid out inthe preliminary resolutionapproved in December wouldburden McKean with almostthree-quarters of the proj-ect costs, yet, owing to theposition of his land, he willown only 30% of actual roadfrontage lots.“The property that is going

to pay the most for theassessment will not be equal-

ly benefited by the method-ology you have chosen,” saidMay. “He [McKean] is notlooking for a fight or to avoidpaying some of the costs,but he would like very muchfor the Council to consideranother more equitablemethodology or approach inhow to pay for this.”May said that the current

tax value on McKean’s 156-acre property is $1.1 millionand that his anticipatedassessment is $1.5 million.He also noted that a 2008survey delineated 20% of theproperty as jurisdictionalwetlands, leaving only 130acres of divisible land.“He will get to a point that

it is not economically appro-priate for him to pay the

assessment, if he’s nevergoing to get the money backout of the property,” warnedMay.Faced with the possibility

of McKean walking away — ineffect giving the Village theproperty rather than payingthe impending assessment— the Council consulted withVillage Attorney MichaelBrough, who was in atten-dance and considered theiroptions.Councilman Ed Lauer

noted that it is difficult torevisit the payment method-ology since the current Coun-cil does not know all the factsand thoughts that went intothe original decision; onlyErickson remains from the

The condition of drainpipesuncovered in Seven LakesWest's first culvert repair haspersuaded InfrastructureDirector John Goodman toaccelerate his work sched-ule and fix four more cul-verts this Spring."It's really a matter of pub-

lic safety," Goodman told TheTimes. "It's not worth therisk to wait for one of theseto fail, because you don'tknow how long it would taketo get on the contractor'sschedule."The questionable culverts

carry water under LongleafDrive. The first repair was

conducted in the first week onthe New Year and involvedremoving three 30-inch gal-vanized steel pipes from aculvert located on Longleafbetween Wagoner and Vanore.Two of the pipes, whenremoved, turned out to be"on the low side of the scalein terms of their condition,"Goodman told The Times."We could see that they

had rusted out" during anearlier inspection, Goodmansaid, but silt in the pipesmade it hard to determinethe level of damage. Two ofthe pipes lIterally fell apart asthey were being removed, headded.Once the poor condition of

the pipes was evident, Good-man said, he reinspectedtwelve other suspect culvertsand identified four more thatappear to be in need of imme-diate attention. The plan is torepair all of those during themonth of February and tocomplete repairs on theremaining eight by the Sum-mer of 2014.The price per culvert ranges

from $16,000 to $22,000,Goodman told The Times.The current year's budgetincludes only funds for therepair just completed, butthe other four are in the FY2011-2012 budget, whichstarts in May. Goodmanexplained that the Februaryculvert replacements will befunded from reserves, whichwill then be replenished with

the culvert replacement fundsincluded in next year's budg-et.Funding for four more cul-

vert repairs will be includedin both the budget for FY2012-2013 and for FY 2013-2014.The old galvanized metal

pipes are being replaced withsmooth concrete pipes. Not-ing that the metal pipes last-ed 25-30 years, Goodmansaid the new pipes shouldlast three times that long.The repair is being toppedoff with an aggregate thatcompacts well as a road base.Once this year's other fourculverts are fixed, all fivespots will be repaved at thesame time.The Wagoner-Vanore cul-

vert was located in a spot

that offered no detour fortraffic, which meant resi-dents were restricted to usingeither the front gate or theback gate for a week,The four culverts to be

repaired in February don'tpose this problem; traffic canbe detoured around each ofthem using side streets.The tentative February

repair schedule is as follows:Jan 31 – Feb 7 – Just Southof the Community Cen-ter/Otter Road

Feb 8 – Feb 14 - Just Southof Callis Circle

Feb 17 – Feb 24 - First Cul-vert just West of LakeAuman Dam

Feb 17 – Feb 24 - SecondCulvert just West of LakeAuman Dam

Westside budget approvedThe budget proposed for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 was

approved in a brief meeting of the Seven Lakes WestLandowners Association Board of Directors held on Tues-day afternoon, January 11.The Work Session scheduled for that Tuesday was

called because snow and ice left area rendered arearoads all but impassable.But the budget approval was needed in order to allow

the office staff to proceed with preparing packets forthe Annual Meeting, where Westsiders will be asked toapprove the budget, as well as electing three new Boardmembers.

In an unexpected announ-cement during the Monday,January 10, Seven LakesLandowners Association[SLLA] Work Session, Com-muni ty Manager A l inaCochran reported that shehad received bids from threeof six companies contacted forquotes on handling land-scape maintenance for theAssociation — a task thathas up 'til now been han-dled by the in-house main-

tenance department.The Board did not discuss

of the proposals, but quick-ly approved the item foraction on the January 26Open Meeting agenda. Butit was clear that the idea ofoutsourcing landscape main-tenance has been on the tableduring frequent closed ses-sions held by the Board thisyear to discuss legal and per-sonnel issues.If a landscaping contract is

awarded, the change wouldbe in keeping with other deci-

sions over the last few yearsthat have moved day-to-dayfunctions of the Association— such as security andadministration — from in-house staffing to contractedservice agreements.In a telephone interview

with The Times following theWork Session, SLLA Presi-dent Randy Zielsdorf saidthe Board's consideration ofan outsourced solution formaintenance has not beeneasy or unanimous.“The appearance of our

community is looking oldand tired," he said, "and theone thing that would helpspruce the place up is a planto start improving the out-ward appearances and land-scaping. So, at that point,do you build that expertise in-house or outsource?”He explained that initial

discussions of the future ofmaintenance began in the

Fall of 2009, but had beenput aside to give new man-agement a chance to evalu-ate the community’s needs —and the department’s abilities— before making a recom-mendation.Late in 2010, Zielsdorf said,

discussion began again inearnest. Bids were solicitedfrom six companies, heexplained, and the Boardin t e r v i ewed the th r eeresponding bidders."I was very impressed with

each of the three companies,"Zielsdorf said. "They werevery knowledgeable people— far beyond what I wasexpecting."Of those three, a preferred

contractor — apparently onefrom outside the county —has been identified. Ziels-dorf said the company hasexpressed interest in estab-lishing a base of operationsin the area, with a group of

employees that would remainin Seven Lakes.“It would be the same faces

week after week,” he said.Zielsdorf said the proposed

contract includes a three-year fixed price and he antic-ipated, at worst case, thechange from in-house to out-sourcing would be revenueneutral.He also said that, rather

than completely eliminatingthe in-house maintenancedepartment, he is in favor ofmaintaining a reduced stafffor general repairs while out-sourcing the landscapingwork. Responding to a question

about existing maintenanceequipment, Zielsdorf said hewants to take a wait-and-see approach with the pro-posed contract and that hewill recommend doing noth-ing with the equipment for atleast a year.

There's no dues increasein the proposed Fiscal Year2011-2012 budget of theSeven Lakes LandownersAssociation [SLLA]. That's the good news.But initial reports from the

recently completed ReserveStudy suggest that substan-tial annual increases toreserve funds will be neces-sary over the next five years— increases that may behard to achieve withoutfuture dues increases."This year, we did not

attempt to incorporate, atthis late notice, any duesincrease," Treasurer DennyGalford told the SLLA Boardof Directors during their Mon-day, January 10 Work Ses-sion. "We want to take time toreview operating costs andwhether we can improvethose first. If we can perfectcurrent operations, then wemay be able to generate addi-tional monies.”Detailed information on

the Reserve Study and theproposed FY2011-2012 budg-et were not presented at themeeting, but discussion indi-cated that anticipated capi-tal expenditures planned fornext year include $125,000from unrestricted reserves

for work at the stables,among other projects, and$80,000 in restricted reservesto complete road repairs atLancashire and DogwoodLane — two of the four areasidentified as needing signif-icant repair work prior to acommunity-wide major roadrepaving project.The Board is expected to

vote on the proposed budgetduring the January 26 OpenMeeting.

Study recommends building reservesThe recently completed

Reserve Study is a compre-hensive evaluation of all com-munity assets and infra-structure — a long rangeplanning and financial toolthat includes recommenda-tions for the next thirty years.At Monday’s meeting, Direc-

tor Bud Shaver gave Boardmembers a summary of infor-mation from the Study thatwill be made available forpublic review once the fullreport is formally accepted atthe January Open Meeting. Shaver has advocated form-

ing Ad hoc committees tolook at each area covered bythe Study and has also askedthe Finance Committee toreview the financial recom-mendations presented in the

document.“They have done a superb

job of defining what needsto be done and anticipatedcosts,” Shaver said of theReserve Study, noting thatthe report indicates reserveswill reach a critical juncturein 2017, if the Associationcontinues to fund them atthe current level.The Study recommends

incremental but substantialannual increases to thereserve funds: $300,000 in2012; $471,000 in 2013;$642,000 in 2014; $660,000in 2015; and $679,000 in2016 — a total of $2.75 mil-lon over five years. The Asso-ciation's total budget for thisyear was $1.4 million.Treasurer Denny Galford

said he was very pleased withthe study, adding that itcould serve as a consistentbase for planning as the com-position of the Board changesfrom year to year.“The important thing is,

this year we’re not increasingdues but cutting costs,” Gal-ford said, explaining that, atleast initially, reductions inoperational costs will be usedto offset the recommendedcontributions to reserves. He anticipated that suffi-

cient funds will be set asideto bring the Association into

compliance with the ReserveStudy recommendations bythe end of fiscal year 2012.Once approved, both the

Reserve Study and Shaver’ssummary will be posted to theSLLA website, and copies willbe available for review at theoffice.

Boating rules spark debateNumerous and repeated

boating violations observedlast Summer on Lake Sequoiaprompted Director ChuckMims to draft several pro-posed amendments to boat-ing rules and regulationsthat specifically address safe-

ty violations and proposedpenalties. The Board is sched-uled to consider those ruleschanges under action itemsat the SLLA Open Meetingon January 26.During Monday’s Work Ses-

sion, Director Chuck Mimspresented the amendmentsand explained that the pur-pose for the recommendedchanges is to provide a fairand even application of rules.The amendment calls forincreasingly severe conse-quences for first, second, andthird offenses; however, Direc-tor Melinda Scott expressed

Winter weather and multi-ple snow days left the MooreCounty Board of Education inthe unpopular position ofcalling school into sessionfor two consecutive Satur-days and also on Good Fri-day, April 22.During an abbreviated

meeting held on Thursday,January 13, Schools Super-intendent Dr. Susan Purser

distributed copies of theupdated school calendar.“We tried to be sensitive to

all the issues,” said Purser.So far this Winter, snow

make-up days have beencalled for January 15, Jan-uary 22, February 21, andApril 22. Since the Easterholiday is late this year,Spring Break is scheduledfor March 28 – April 1 and,thus far, remains intact.Per North Carolina law,

schools must be in session for180 days, with each aca-demic year starting no earli-er than August 25 and end-ing by June 10. Certain dayson the academic calendarare designated as inclementweather make-up days, oftenduring regular teacher workdays. NC law also dictates acertain number and sched-uling of unencumbered workdays set aside for teachersthat cannot be encroached

upon.Last year’s harsh Winter

forced Moore County Schoolsto close multiple times anddesignated make-up dayswere used including theMemorial Day holiday.Following administrative

changes initiated this Fallthat shifted the definition ofwhen the school work weekbegins and ends, allowedPurser to make a recom-mendation, which the Boardadopted last September, todesignate Saturdays as anoption for a make-up day –which is preferably within

the same week as the closedsnow day.

There is interest in devel-oping a multi-faceted humanservices center in MooreCounty that could providecounseling for job training,employment, childcare, med-ical and psychological needs,nutrition and education, aswell as temporary lodgingand meals; but there are nocurrent ordinances thataddress such a facility.“There is nothing remotely

close to this use in the exist-ing ordinances, so we deter-mined the best option was tocreate a new use for thisneed,” planner Robert Farrellexplained to the Moore Coun-ty Planning Board during theThursday, January 6 meet-ing.Planning Member Rodney

Pickler expressed concernover the recommended textamendment.“What control is there over

how many and where thesefacilities are to be sited?” hequestioned. “How many willbe built in the county?”Farrell responded that the

recommended ordinance doesnot impose limitations butsince such facilities wouldonly be allowed in commer-cial zoning districts – whichis the smallest percentage ofacreage in the county – thatzoning in itself would con-siderably restrict the numberof such facilities.

Planning Member BernardCapstick also questionedwhether temporary lodgingwould be a magnet to indigentpersons with no other tiesto Moore County.“I am concerned about non-

county residents takingadvantage of the system,”said Capstick.After discussion, the Board

approved the recommendedtext amendment on a splitvote.

Unified DevelopmentOrdinance updateOver the next few months,

the Planning Board will con-sider proposed updates tothe Unified DevelopmentOrdinance [UDO] which com-bines the Zoning Ordinance,Subdivision Regulations, andFlood Damage Prevention

Ordinance into a single, user-friendly document. The newformat includes a redesignednumbering system, additionalcharts and tables that makethe regulations easier tounderstand, and a sectionthat outlines the authorityof every official and MooreCounty board.Proposed changes will be

reviewed in segments, begin-ning with an overview in Feb-ruary, general informationin March, zoning districtsand Table of Uses in April,development standards inMay, and subdivision regu-lations in June. Public reviewworkshops of the UDO aretentatively scheduled betweenJuly and September. In addi-tion, a draft will be availableonline in February and atthe Planning of f ices by

request.Concerned over a recent

recommendation by CountyCommissioner Chair NickPicerno to form a citizen taskforce to ensure the proposedUDO is ‘business-friendly,’Planning Member Dave Kin-ney argued that it is the Plan-ning Board’s responsibilityto ensure such practices.On Kinney’s motion, the

Board unanimously approvedsending a letter to the Boardof Commissioners statingtheir concern.

Bringing more water to thegreater Seven Lakes area is atthe top of the agenda for theMoore County Board of Com-missioners this year.The Board concluded its

annual two-day budgetretreat, held January 13 and14 at the Moore County Sen-ior Center, with a goal-settingexercise moderated by Agri-cultural Extension DirectorCraven Hudson. The resultwas a list of ten goals for2011 and six additional longterms goals. At the top ofthe list was finding a "SevenLakes Water Solution."“The only reason I stayed

for four more years," saidCommissioner Larry Caddell,referring to his recent re-election to the Board, "isbecause I promised myfriends in Seven Lakes that Iwould take care of this.”"We don’t need to wait to

find water. We need to find itnow,” Caddell said.And, if the right deal can be

negotiated, the Commis-sioners would like to findthat water in the Town ofRobbins.The County plans to reopen

negotiations with Robbinswithin the next forty-five daysto determine whether the twolocal governments can worktogether to utilize a reser-voir and mothballed water

treatment plant that Rob-bins owns but is unable touse. Currently, Robbins buyswater from neighboring Mont-gomery County.The Robbins plant could

pump as much as one milliongallons per day of water intothe county system that servesSeven Lakes and Pinehurst,through a new water linethat would likely run downNC Highway 705 to NC High-way 211 and on to SevenLakes to tie into the countysystem. Previous estimateshave placed the cost of thatwater line and its pump sta-tions at approximately $3.6million — and rehabbing theRobbins water plant is like-ly to cost nearly that muchagain. The possibility of bringing

water in from the Robbinstreatment plant has goneback and forth for more thantwo years without any agree-ment being reached, but theCommissioners appeared

determined to go back to thetable with the intention offinally making a deal.

More Options for WaterPublic Utilities Director

Dennis Brobst outlined threeother options for increasingwater supply to the Westernend of the county system,including bringing purchasedwater from MontgomeryCounty down a new line alongNC Highway 211 and twodifferent options for buyingwater from Randolph Coun-ty.Water is currently pumped

to Seven Lakes through asingle water main that cancarry over a million gallons ofwater per day. Currently, thearea uses at most 880,000gallons per day, Brobst notedthat that Seven Lakes couldbe forty percent larger thanit is now when fully builtout.Moore County Public Util-

ities is poised to bring online

Pinehurst Wells 5A and 9,which will supply an addi-tional 500,000 gallons ofwater a day. In addition, newWell 6A will add a water sup-ply of 65,000 gallons a dayand should be completed inJune.

Reduce ALS TaxHolding the line on — or

reducing — taxes has been aBoard of Commissioners' goalin each of the last two yearsand this year is no excep-tion. The target this year isthe Advance Life Support[ALS] tax, a two-cent per

hundred levy added on top ofregular property taxes to sup-port the county's EmergencyMedical Services. The Board cut the ALS tax

rate from 2.5 cents in FiscalYear 2009-2010 to two centsthat year, and appears readyto shave off at least anotherhalf-cent for Fiscal Year 2011-2012. The levy is expectedto generate $2.3 million in taxrevenue this year.During his presentation

during the retreat, PublicSafety Director Bryan Phillipsasked the Board to consider

the cost of replacing equip-ment, hiring more person-nel, and the completion ofsystem upgrades. Public Safe-ty is seeing the number ofcalls for service grow, while,at the same time, it is becom-ing more and more difficult torecruit volunteers. As a result,departments are hiring fire-fighters instead of relyingexclusively on volunteers.

Phillips asked the Boardto leave the ALS tax rate atthe current two cents, andconsider an increase to threecents in 2016 or 2017. If noadditional revenues are col-lected to offset these costs,Phillips warned, the EMSfund balance would dropbelow $300,000 by 2018.But, during their discussion

of budget goals, the Com-missioners seemed deter-mined, as Commissioner TimLea put it, to "keep taxeslow.” "At a minimum, it [the ALS

tax rate] should be cut byhalf a cent,” Chairman NickPicerno said. One strategy for cutting

Public Safety departmentcosts is to combine firedepartments with rescuesquads, so they can share asingle facility, as is current-ly the case with West EndFire and Rescue. Anotheroption is to merge fire depart-ments that serve adjacentareas. Phillips gave an exam-

ple of the West End andSeven Lakes fire departments— which are headquarteredroughly two miles apart. Last year, the county

approved the merger of theCameron Fire Department,Circle V Fire Department,and Vass Rescue Squad intoCypress Pointe Fire and Res-cue. The county is currentlyserved by sixteen fire depart-ments.The board agreed that a

better system is needed,including the strategic place-ment of fire, rescue, and EMSfacilities. “We need to addressthis issue with experts," Com-missioner Jimmy Melton said,"to find out the actual costsand figure out the most effec-tive way to solve these issues.”

Planning

The holiday season is over,but Winter is still here. Let memake a few comments aboutthe weather since little land-scape gardening has takenplace this season.The weather this year has

been again colder than nor-mal. We had two significantsnow coverings which isunusual and several days inDecember and January whenthe soil has been frozen.Some ask if the colder tem-peratures indicate that plantpests will be lessened. It isdifficult to predict such,because many of the weedseeds and insect pests havea built-in environment andhabitat to resist and acclimateto cold freezing situationsand shallow cold soil tem-perature conditions. Whereas some of the annu-

al grasses such as crab grassand others have a soft outerseed covering that might beeffectively reduced. On theother hand, those with hardouter seed coverings, suchas cocklebur and sand spurwill likely not be affected.Also those weeds and bulbs,such as dandelions, Bermu-da grass, wild onions, garlic,and others wi l l not be

reduced in population.Gardening rotation has

been a problem where spaceis limited for many of us whoreside on individual lots in

developed areas of MooreCounty. In fact, vegetablesand other garden plants pro-duce and grow better if thespots are moved every four tofive years. This rotation helpsbreak the cycle of diseases,insects, and nematodes. Ifyou cannot move the gardenlocation, the next best thingis to move the vegetable plant-ings and flower plantings toa different spot every year ifpossible.When the soil gets dry

enough it is time to cleanyour vegetable garden andflower beds. Till or spade theareas several times and leavethe roots to dry out for a fif-teen-day period. Then thor-

oughly mix into the soilorganic matter, lime, rottenleaves, dried compostedmanure and peat moss.A general recommendation

if your areashave no tbeen limedin the pasttwo years isto use ten tof i f t e e np o u n d sDolomit iclimestone,ten to fifteen

pounds of dry dehydratedmanure, and twelve poundsof bone meal per 1,000square feet of cultivated soil.

PruningEvery year some ask about

pruning woody ornamentals.Most of the dormant leaflessones can be pruned. Springflowering budding ornamen-tal plants and trees, such asazaleas, camellias, dogwoods,quince, and forsythia, shouldnot be pruned. These can bepruned if desired and nec-essary after blooming. Therule of thumb is to prunefollowing flowering unlessthere are dead plant partsthat should be removed.Grape vines, crape myrtle,and fruit trees should bepruned as soon as possible.If you desire to plant shrubs

or trees, do it now, after theground has thawed.January is a good time to

plant Spring flowering bulbs.When planting, add a smallhandful mixture of finelyground bone meal, Dolomiticlimestone, and mix into plant-ing soil. When the sproutsemerge from the soil, add atablespoon of bulb-boosting

fertilizer. Fertilize your pan-sies now and again whenneeded with liquid or granularfertilizer.

Suggested vegetable plantings for January: Hardy dwarf and edible

podded peas, onion sets andplants, asparagus crowns,and rhubarb plants.

king, two kids, three cats

and one questionably-bredLabrador underachiever, youcan understand why fitfulhas replaced blissful and myquiet repose to snoring tem-pos.10 :00 pm: I

Dear Editor:To: Seven Lakes West

Board President and Chairsof Infrastructure and Safety& Security —You have brilliantly main-

tained your perfect recordfrom last year of abject fail-ure to assure emergencyvehicle access to all resi-dents of Seven Lakes Westwhen snow and ice are pre-dicted well in advance. Fail-ure to do so might easilyresult in an injured party

law suit that would deci-mate the corporation and alljudged responsible.Spend some money, get a

real contractor, and pro-vide the oversight to makesure the work is done prop-erly. We have the right toexpect roads will be serv-iceable to emergency vehi-cles 24/7/365. If you don’tsee it that way, perhaps it’stime for you to step down.

Bruce MacdonaldSeven Lakes West

Snow happens.Let’s be prepared.

concern that the facts of acase — not repeated viola-tions — should determinethe penalty.“I agree with the proposed

penalties, but to codify themby frequency is a mistake.In regular judicial processes,it’s not just how often [thatdetermines penalties] but theseverity of the violation andcircumstances surroundingit.”Scott recommended that

the proposed penalties shouldbe included, but only as arecommendation.Mims responded that he

was concerned about impar-tiality and the possibility thatrules could be applied tosome landowners and notothers."How do we enforce based

on ‘I like you and I don’t likeyou?'" he asked. “What weneed is a law that is not opento interpretation.”Scott countered that there

has been no negative feed-back from homeowners con-testing the impartiality ofJudicial Committee rulings.If a Judicial Committee mem-ber had problems with ren-dering impartial decisions,Scott added, he or she shouldbe removed.“When Judicial looks at a

violator, the decision-mak-ing process will be the same,"Scott said. "It’s more thanjust frequency, it’s the inten-sity of the type of penalty,and it shouldn’t be the samepenalty when you have dif-

ferent violations."Looking for a compromise,

Zielsdorf suggested amend-ing the rules so that any sus-pension be imposed for aminimum of thirty days andalso involve a fine. He alsosuggested that after threeviolations, a member couldpermanently lose privileges."It is crucial that we come

together and put somethingtogether," Zielsdof said. "Wedo not want to go throughanother boating season with-out new rules in place."

Wildlife CommissionEnforcement PresentationExploring options for boat-

ing safety enforcement, sev-eral Directors to met recent-ly with Sgt. Mark Dutton ofthe NC Wildlife ResourcesCommission [NCWRC] to dis-cuss options for safe boatingenforcement. At the SLLA Board’s invi-

tation, on Wednesday, Jan-uary 26 from 6:00 pm to 7:00pm, Sgt. Dutton will providean informational presenta-tion and be available for ques-tions. All interested residents

are encouraged to attend, asthis "meet and greet" willprovide an exceptional oppor-tunity to learn what servicesare available from the Stateand, perhaps, to dispel somecommon misconceptions.

Toe drains to be installed on damsFour of five recent dam

inspections indicated noapparent problems, reportedCochran, but a fifth inspec-tion — of Little Juniper Dam— raised concerns and gen-erated a recommendationthat a toe drain be installeda the foot of the dam. Toedrains are used in earthendams to prevent saturation ofthe soil on the dam's face,particularly near the bottomof the structure.While the problem at Little

J has been in existence sinceat least 2008, according toreports filed by the engi-neering firm S&ME, Cochranrecommended correcting theproblem sooner rather thanlater.In addition, she recom-

mended installing a second

toe drain at Sequoia Dam,which would reduce waterpressure within the dam.Cochran told the Board

that some of the necessarywork can be completed byin-house staff and that therecommended repairs hadbeen included in the pro-posed Fiscal Year 2012 Budg-et.

Other businessIn other business on Mon-

day, January 10, the SLLABoard:• Heard from Cochran that

work is not yet complete at

Echo Dam, but the roadwaywas reopened for traffic. Coldtemperatures and high soilmoisture caused delays inthe project.• Heard from Cochran that

five inspectors visited theNorthside Pool and made rec-ommendations. “I feel confi-dent that it’s not as bad wethought it was,” she said,referring to the condition ofthe thirty-year old pool. Somework, including adding addi-tional bars to some pointsof the pool fencing, will benecessary.

West End Presbyterian Church is located on Knox Lanein West End, one block west of Highway 211


Council that approved theproject.“We received petitions and

the decision was made. What-ever happens now is what itis,” said Lauer.The extension project com-

menced in March 2006 when,at the urging of former may-ors Wayne Arnold and ArdenMcConnell, the Councilpledged its support of thethen-proposed roadway toconnect Woodland Circlewhere i t had been le f tuntouched as other areas ofthe East Side were paved. In May 2008, all affected

property owners along theproposed 1.5 mile road exten-sion were notified of esti-mated construction costs —originally projected as high as$2.6 million but lowered to$2.3 million after the bid-ding process. Mayor George Erickson

noted that he and formerfinance director Wally Peckitthad spoken with McKeanabout the project on twooccasions. In both instances,McKean had expressed reser-vations over the proposedcost.In October 2008, seven

bids were received and thelowest bidder, Vaughn Con-tracting, was awarded the$1,611,124 million project.[With the addition of engi-neer ing fees and otherexpenses added in, the totalproject cost that is beingassessed is $1,996,000.]Updated lower cost esti-

mates were sent to propertyowners in December 2008and again in January 2009.Ten of the fourteen owners,who together representedthirty-four properties andsixty-seven percent of theroad frontage, respondedfavorably; three refused tosign, and one owner couldnot be located. Under NorthCarolina law, a petition mayproceed with slightly overhalf of the affected owners’approval.However, May told the

Council, McKean's concern isnot that the road was built,or that he must pay a portionof its costs — but, rather,his concern is the formulaused to determine each

assessment. As approved inthe preliminary assessmentresolution, 100% of the costof improvements will beassessed at an equal rateper square foot of affectedlots.May asked the Council to

defer the assessment rollwhile other options areexplored.A particularly significant

question, and one not easilyanswered by Village Attor-ney Brough or NC law itseems, is: If the Councilreversed course and optedfor a different assessmentmethodology, would the orig-inal petition stand? Or, putmore simply, could the tenowners that approved theroadway extension in 2009renege on the agreement ifthe deal were changed thislate in the game.“Instead of one unhappy

property owner, we couldhave ten,” said Erickson.Counci lman Vic Koos

agreed, “The problem is, if

we would have to make-upthe difference with the otherproperty owners. They’reliable to bail out too, so whatto do? I understand his point,but we might lose either way.”Mayor Erickson advised

against any postponementthat could impact the Vil-lage’s ability to meet the pro-ject’s next loan payment,which is due in April. Aftergoing around the table withno clear legal answers onhow or if the assessmentmethodo l ogy can bereworked, the Council adopt-ed a resolution declaring theWoodland Circle extensionproject complete. A Public Hearing on the

preliminary assessment rollwill be held on Tuesday, Feb-ruary 1 at 7 pm.

Long Range Planningsurvey resultsA recently completed sur-

vey of Village citizens by theLong Range Planning Com-mittee was designed to be

general in nature rather thana vehicle to gather action-able data, Chairman MickMcCue told the Village Coun-cil during its Thursday, Jan-uary 13 meeting. In total,sixty surveys, representingtwelve percent of the popu-lation, were collected latelast year.In compiling results, McCue

explained, the LRP Commit-tee identified five basicthemes; infrastructure, gov-ernance, public safety, taxes

and finances, and visions ofthe future.The two most commented

upon areas of interest wereinfrastructure [70 comments]and visions of the future [54],followed by governance [16],public safety [14], and taxesand finance [8]. McCue said the next step

will be to broaden those areasthrough focus groups meet-ings with specific interests,including the Foxfire Property

Sharon Sanchez presentedthe finance report for Coun-cilwoman Leslie Frusco, whowas unable to attend.

Public SafetyA new snow blade recent-

ly purchased for the FoxfirePolice truck was put to gooduse during last week’s winterstorm. Councilman Koosreported that Chief MikeCampbell and Sgt. ChadShue worked alternatingshifts to clear Village roads onMonday and Tuesday. Inaddition, the two primarythoroughfares — Richmondand Hoffman Roads — werewell-maintained and clearedby North Carolina DOT.“They did quite a job, both

the state and our police,”said Koos, thanking themfor their efforts.During public comment,

Foxfire resident MaryAnneLauer also commended Fox-fire’s officers for doing anexcellent job of taking care ofthe Village streets.

Streets & infrastructureA request for quotes to ren-

ovate the existing tenniscourts netted two bids, report-ed Counc i lman JohnEltschlager: one for $62,500to renovate plus $7,500 toremove the existing surface,and a second bid of $57,000that included both services.Eltschlager said he also

generated his own estimate ofwhat he determined would beappropriate costs and cameup with $52,000.He said there were vari-

ables between the two bidsand recommended a moredefinitive scope of work aswell as exploring cost sav-ings, including reduced fenc-ing height and obtainingpotential grant fundingthrough the United StateTennis Association [USTA].In response to last year’s

traffic fatalities, Foxfire Villageasked the NC Department ofTransportation to perform atraffic study at the Richmondand Hoffman Road intersec-tion. Eltschlager reportedthat an outside contractorhas been hired by the Stateto perform the work andshould be on-site in the nexttwo or three weeks. Duringthe up-to-twelve hour studyperiod, the contractor willmonitor both heavy and lightvehicle traffic for speed andturning movements, and willalso be evaluating the Coun-cil’s concern that there islimited sight visibility coming

into the intersection.Moore County is complet-

ing a five-year update to theMulti-Jurisdictional HazardMitigation Plan. A PublicHearing to review the pro-posed update will be heldTuesday, February 8 at 7:30pm.

with a review of contractsthat have been worked outbetween the Moore CountyPublic Works Departmentand the developer, MHK Ven-tures, Inc. Public Works Director Den-

nis Brobst presented theCommissioners with two con-tracts already signed by MHK:one relating to an on-site pri-vate wastewater treatmentplant and the other relatingto how the development willbe supplied with water from

the county system.The wastewater contract

requires the developer to con-struct a one million gallonper day wastewater treat-ment plant and to use treat-ed water from that plant forirrigation throughout the PineForest community. The coun-ty pledges unspecified coop-eration in that project. Brobst explained that

Moore County Public Utili-ties has adopted a policy pro-hibiting the use of potablewater from the county system

for irrigation purposes in newdevelopments. Later in themeeting, MHK's engineer FredHobbs said Pine Forest wouldinitially take several hun-dred thousand gallons ofuntreated wastewater perday from the county systemfor treatment in the privateplant. That will provide thedeveloper with irrigation wateras it establishes the resort'sgolf courses.The water supply contract

obligates the developer topay the county $3 million

dollars within six monthsf r om the da t e o f PUDapproval and requires thecounty to construct a waterline extension to serve thecommunity and guarantee amaximum of 500,000 gal-lons of potable water per day.Noting that some material

relating to the contracts hadbeen omitted from the agen-da packet for the meeting,Commissioner Lea movedand the Board agreed to tablethe contracts for furtherreview.

Public HearingThe public hearing on Pine

Forest's rezoning requestbegan with an overview ofthe development, presentedby a presentation by Hobbs,Upchurch & Associates. PineForest would encompass1,652 acres in size andinclude up to 700 residentialunits, up to 300 hotel units,three golf courses, and upto 120,000 square feet ofcommercial and retail space.Those who opposed the

development — many ofwhom identified themselvesas members of, or speakingon behalf of, Save our Sand-hills — raised concerns aboutsources of water for the devel-opment, how it will affect theenvironment, increased traf-fic congestion, and its impacton the real estate market.

Using Nick's Creekfor Irrigation?Though the issue of potable

water for Pine Forest will belikely be settled through anagreement with and paymentto the county, opponentsexpressed concern that thedeveloper would inevitablyturn to Nick's Creek to sup-ply irrigation water for itsgolf courses. The headwa-ters of Nick's Creek are foundon the Pine Forest acreage.Bill Huber of Pinehurst,

citing public documents filedwith the state, said that asingle golf course in theDormie Club, another MHKVentures Development, uses600,000 to one million gallonsof water per day, even duringa drought. Since Pine Forestwill have one 9-hole and two18-hole golf courses it couldeasily need twice that amountof water.Huber feared that if the

proposed development need-ed water it could, under NorthCarolina law, legally use thatin Nick’s Creek. “There goesNick’s Creek, there goesCarthage’s water supply”Huber said. Huber's concernwas echoed by other speak-ers, including Allison Weak-ley, a Chatham County biol-ogist speaking on behalf ofSave Our Sandhills.Engineer Fred Hobbes

argued that Pine Forest'swastewater treatment plantwould include on-site storagethat could hold as much as60 million gallons of treatedwastewater for irrigation. Hesaid the developer had nointention of withdrawing irri-gation water from Nick'sCreeks and would agree to aprohibition on that as a con-dition of the rezoning.But Huber argued that,

under North Carolina law,no such stipulation wouldbe ultimately binding on the

developer.Ruth Stolting charged that

the potable water agreementwith Pine Forest was “secre-tive” and a “shrewd attemptto force an agreement downcitizen’s throats.” “Is this transparency and

open government?” she askedthe board during the publiccomment period, noting thatcopies of the agreements hadonly been made available tothe public the Friday prior tothe meeting.

On-site WastewaterTreatment FacilityThe privately owned and

operated wastewater treat-ment plant proposed for PineForest would be the first suchfacility in Moore County.Hobbs assured the Boardthat the Pine Forest plant"will be cast in place similarto what a government wouldbuild — similar to what you

are building at Addor [thelocation of the county's waste-water treatment plant].Thereason for that is becausewe don't want the opportunityto exist 30 years from nowthat it would rust out andthere would be no one totake responsibility.” But Hobbs assurances were

not enough to satisfy Attor-ney David Rooks, who rep-resents Save Our Sandhills[SOS]. Rooks asked whatwould happen to the treat-ment facility, if the develop-er "goes belly to the sun” orif a “homeowners associa-tion of a minimally or partiallydeveloped community” is leftresponsible for the decisionsassociated with the facility. “What happens if the sys-

tem doesn’t work?" Rooksasked. "Who takes care ofit? The County?” Bob Stolting, Vice Presi-

dent of SOS, agreed with

Rooks, noting that “Therehas never been a privatewastewater treatment plantin Moore County.” Drawingon news reports about anoth-er developer's desire to installa private wastewater plant,Stolting quoted Public WorkDirector Brobst as saying"What concerns me is who isgoing to take care of it. Thehomeowners association?That scares me to death."

Watershed andother pollutionBiologist Weakley and other

speakers raised concernsabout the negative impacton Nick's Creek and theCarthage water supply of runoff from the Pine Foreststreets and golf courses,which could include oils,greases, pesticides, and fer-

tilizers. Because Pine Forest is

located in a WS-III water-shed protection zone, imper-vious surfaces may cover nomore than twenty-four per-cent of the development'sacreage under state law. ThePine Forest plan includesonly twelve percent imper-vious surface.Harry Huberth, represent-

ing the Sandhills Area LandTrust, spoke during publiccomment and was most con-cerned with damage to thewatershed. “It is imperativethat this type of developmentis given a critical eye,” hesaid. Huberth stressed thatthe wetlands are like the“kidneys of the ecosystem”and there is no such thing asa “wetland transplant.”

Dr. Jay Carter, a biologistretained by MHK, told theCommissioners that thedeveloper has included in itsplans a twenty-five foot nat-ural vegetative buffer along allwetlands to allow any surfacewater runoff to be filteredthrough natural vegetation.Carter predicted that thereshould be little or no sur-face water entering into thewetlands. However, Ruth Stolting,

who resides near the pro-posed development, disagreedwith this assessment andreminded the board that withsandy soil there is “no foolproof way that all pollutantsare detected and removed.” As a beekeeper, Stolting

fears that the use of pesticideson the Pine Forest golf cours-es will cause a decrease in thenumber of bees that polli-nate crops and supply honey.Since the development of thenearby Dormie Club golfcourse, Stolting said, shehas lost forty percent of herhives each year, a problemshe blamed on the increased

use of pesticides within thebees foraging area.NC State apiarist Donald

Hopkins agreed with Stolting,stating that “Bees and golfcourses don’t mix too well.”

Value of the EcosystemPine Forest, if approved,

will destroy what botanistBruce Sorrie, of the NC Nat-ural Heritage Program, iden-tified as one of the last Lon-g l ea f P ine -Wi r eg rassecosystems of its size in theSandhills region — and per-haps in the Southeast as awhole. Lawrence Earley,author of “Looking for Lon-gleaf: The Fall and Rise ofan American Forest,” arguedthat "given the monumentaldecline of this great ecosys-tem, protecting what we haveleft is an opportunity to honorthe heritage of the longleafpine."Jeff Marcus, of the NC

Wildlife Resource Commis-sion, told the Board thatthere are five types of wildlifein particular that rely on alongleaf habitat, includingthe Star Nose Mole, Sand-

hills Lily, Fox Squirrel, North-ern Pine Snake, and the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker. Marcus commended MHK

Ventures for trying to devel-op Pine Forest in an envi-ronmentally friendly way,but reminded the Board,“[Development] can retainsome elements of the habitat,but it's almost never as goodas it was before develop-ment.”Many of those opposed to

the development remindedthe Board of the goals setout in the Moore CountyLand Use Plan. Marsh Smith, an environ-

mental lawyer and member ofSOS, said the first goal inthe Land Use Plan was topreserve Moore County’s ruraland agricultural heritage forfuture generations.Jesse Wimberley of West

End reminded the Board dur-ing the public comment peri-od that the most importantthing to residents in MooreCounty is to keep the ruralnature of the homeland. “Look at the report [Area A

Land Use Plan], then look atthe project in front of you,"Wimberley said. "Will we bebetter after it’s done, or willwe lose some of our quality oflife?”

Increased trafficOpponents of the develop-

ment argue that Pine Forestwill increase the amount oftraffic in the immediate vicin-ity, and also at the PinehurstTraffic Circle and the inter-section of NC Hwy 211 andNC Hwy 5.Bob Koontz a land plan-

ner for Hobbs UpchurchAssociates, reiterated that

the expansion of NC Hwy211, is projected to begin in2012. He noted that MHKhad donated land for thehighway expansion.Attorney Rooks quoted

NCDOT estimates that PineForest, at build-out, will gen-erate an additional 16,700trips per day. Citing the well-known delays in gettingNCDOT projects into the con-struction phase, he asked,"Who knows when 211 will beexpanded?” Former Moore County

Board of Commissioner, ColinMcKenzie asked the boardduring the public commentperiod to think of the impacton traffic that the Pine For-est development would haveon an already congested area."We will have significant addi-tional traffic between Pine-

Real-estate oversupplyAlong with too much traf-

fic, Joe McDonald, a realestate broker of 21 years,warned that too much realestate may also be an affectof the Pine Forest develop-ment. In the greater Sandhillsarea alone there are over1500 total residential list-ings, MacDonald said. Thenew development may bringa surplus of existing homesin the Sandhills area unlessthere is some “miracle in theeconomy,” he added.The plans for Pine Forest

project a maximum of 710residential dwellings at build-out.

Other Business: In other business during

its Tuesday, January 18meeting, the Moore CountyBoard of Commissioners:• Approved an amendment tothe current Moore CountySolid Waste ManagementProgram that will nowinclude a recycling pro-gram for electronics.
