[0:00] uh they agree with the fact of General
statute and that's what we're trying to
[0:04] say here and that also that the Fidelity
bond is not going to be individually
[0:09] required on all the people that handle
money for the city because it's not just
[0:14] the four people that work downstairs in
Revenue collections you probably are
[0:18] going to touch every department and it
would be extremely cost prohibitive to
[0:24] try to get individual Bonds on each one
so basically the policy says the council
[0:29] agrees that we have a blanket Bond
because that's how the city has always
[0:32] handled it we have an insurance policy
um we we have many policies as you're
[0:37] aware of but our blanket Bond covers
anybody that handles public funds or
[0:42] public assets or inventory so that's
essentially what this policy is
[0:47] referencing we're just trying to get
things put in writing and get the
[0:51] council to agree with it and and so
therefore it is there for future
[0:55] councils to operate off of I have no
problem Council uh as this one is again
[1:01] intended to be setting a policy
non-controversial this is intended to be
[1:05] something that is improving our internal
accountability measures did not see this
[1:09] one as being something that was that was
controversial but still given it's the
[1:13] first time Council has seen it wanted to
be under new business instead of the
[1:16] consent agenda is there any or any
thoughts concerns or debate on this one
[1:22] I have no problem with it no we should
be bonded hearing none I'll entertain a
[1:27] motion to adopt you need a motion to
adopt and move forward I have a
[1:32] resolution yes sir okay so moved right
motion has been made yes made and
[1:37] properly seconded all right motion is
made and properly seconded to uh to
[1:42] approve the resolution of adoption of
fidelity Bond policy uh is there any
[1:46] further debate hearing none all in favor

[1:51] sign seeing none motion passes sign that
one tomorrow morning thank you have a
[1:55] good
[1:57] evening all right item s .3 I'm picking
up on a trend you just want me to go
[2:02] straight to him oh there is a couple
comments You' like offer a
[2:08] prep this one is just so everyone's
clear is a is a it's a RightWay closing
[2:13] of a a platted RightWay on a on a piece
of paper so it doesn't exist in reality
[2:18] but because it is a public RightWay we
have to follow North Carolina General
[2:22] statutes to properly and legally close
the public right
[2:27] away Perfect all right Mr Helmer welcome
thank you us through this Council
[2:36] um well I thought there were some slides
in there um any um yeah so uh this the
[2:44] property is located on Kyler bestest
Road this is a permanent RightWay
[2:48] closure uh Mark let me interrupt you
just for a second Council it is in the
[2:52] agenda packet that was distributed
online so those who are if anyone's
[2:56] looking at it online right now it is 106
perfect it is in the agenda packet I
[3:02] don't know why it's not up there page
106 very good P yeah so the the property
[3:07] considered for a public rideway
permanent closure is a
[3:12] 297.00 ft uh a piece of of property uh
located uh on the south side of Kyler
[3:19] best road um according to GIS and the
petitioner is uh Robert uh Strickland
[3:27] Horus best and Judith uh Pope
uh again this is this is public rideway
[3:33] there is no uh no public improvements uh
constructed within this rideway uh uh
[3:40] just a little background uh the uh the
applicant uh came through early in
[3:46] 20124 with a request uh during that
review it was noted that there was
[3:51] little interest in the surrounding
neighborhood to be tied into this this
[3:55] piece of street so uh the a conditional
rezoning
[4:00] conditional zoning was submitted by the
applicant uh showing uh a site plan uh
[4:06] with this piece of land being a private
driveway as opposed to a publicly
[4:10] maintained Street uh so that was
approved as a condition of approval of
[4:15] that conditional resoning that this
property be abandoned uh or or be uh
[4:20] that they request the property uh to be
uh right away to be closed uh and a
[4:26] private driveway be constructed in its
in its place
[4:30] uh so with that uh it is a condition of
the approval of that that conditional
[4:36] zoning and with that the uh uh staff is
requesting that Council adopt a
[4:42] resolution setting a DAT of the public
hearing for a r permanent RightWay
[4:47] closure all right so Council what we
will be voting on uh this evening is we
[4:52] adopt a resolution uh scheduling the
public hearing we're not actually voting
[4:56] on the right of way closure or not we're
voting on the resolution to schedule the
[5:01] public hearing any any comments or
questions or concerns on the resolution
[5:04] to set the public hearing no hearing
none uh do I hear uh do I hear a motion
[5:10] to adopt the resolution setting the
public hearing so moved all right
[5:13] motions been made motions made properly
seconded uh do I have any debate hearing
[5:20] none all in favor say I all opposed same
son see none motion passes all right so
[5:26] we will set that one for what was it
February 17th so that'll be the second
[5:30] meeting in February all right sounds
good all right so next uh Mr Helmer
[5:37] might as well stay up
front we have two public hearings we
[5:42] will begin with 8.1 the conditional
zoning 1124 for woten development
[5:48] company it is for property located at
the corner of Maplewood Drive in North
[5:52] Berkeley Boulevard uh Mr Helmer if you
would begin with the brief and then
[5:56] we'll go from there thank you Mr Mayor
this is a a 1.4 2 acre tract of land uh
[6:02] owned uh by Wooten development company
they are also the the applicant for this
[6:07] proposal uh they are uh the current
zoning of this property is office
[6:12] institutional and uh some neighborhood
business uh zone property in there uh
[6:17] they they are requesting that the
property be res zoned to Neighborhood
[6:20] business conditional zoning District um
the the comprehensive land use plan has
[6:25] identified this property as being
suitable suitable for mixed use uh one
[6:30] and medium density residential uh or a
portion of it as being uh suitable for
[6:37] residential uh the applicant is
requesting a change of zoning from the
[6:40] subject property uh uh uh from office
and institutional Oni to the
[6:45] neighborhood business uh conditional
zoning district for the purpose of
[6:49] constructing a multi-tenant uh
commercial retail
[6:53] Center uh in your packet is a a a a map
showing the comprehensive land use plan
[7:00] and the area in purple is is basically
uh the the plan is recommending uh that
[7:07] these properties in purple be uh are
suitable for mixed use type developments
[7:13] uh there is a small portion uh in the
light tan area that is actually um uh
[7:20] medium density
[7:24] residential so the office institutional
neighborhood business district the exist
[7:29] the exist zoning uh the uh is
established to provide for the
[7:33] development of office and Community
institutions that have similar
[7:37] development characteristics and required
locations close to residential and
[7:41] Commercial uses this District encourages
a commercial uses and forbids industrial
[7:47] uses uh the neighborhood business
district uh is pro uh established to
[7:52] provide the services uh and Commercial
development needs to uh serve primarily
[7:57] adjoining neighborhoods uh is uh
intended to promotee the development of
[8:02] small pedestrian oriented establishments
whose character and use is compatible
[8:06] with nearby residential neighborhoods
maximum building uh gross area is 24,000
[8:13] ft the neighborhood uh business
conditional zoning District which is
[8:17] proposed uh is established to uh provide
uh the services and Commercial
[8:23] development needed to serve primarily
the adjoining neighborhoods the district
[8:28] is intended to promote the development
of small pedestrian oriented
[8:31] establishments whose character and use
is compatible with nearby residential
[8:36] neighborhoods uh with that uh the
surrounding zoning districts uh include
[8:42] uh some general business and
neighborhood business to the north
[8:46] office institutional uh and residential
R9 to the South uh R R9 residential to
[8:53] the East and office institutional to the
West uh the the zoning map in your
[8:58] packet shows
U the neighborhood business properties
[9:02] uh just adjacent to and just to the
north of subject property and then
[9:07] immediately to the South is uh the Oni
District uh there's some Oni uses at
[9:11] that corner and then some um random
residential across the street uh located
[9:17] within Oni District so uh this property
that's being requested for rezoning uh
[9:22] is essentially kind of an extension of
that existing commercial District
[9:28] um expanding
Southward uh the applicant has requested
[9:35] that uh that the the the they play he's
requesting or volunteering a limiting
[9:42] the uses uh permitted in the district uh
primarily he's is uh excluding or or uh
[9:52] non-permitted or he's basically saying
that he will not be permitting uh bingo
[9:57] parlor internet cafes sweep stake
facilities electronic gaming
[10:02] operations um however he's requesting
that all commercial retail Center uses
[10:08] uh that are permitted in the
neighborhood business zoning District be
[10:11] uh approved as part of this conditional
rezoning
[10:17] so uh the the city land use plan locate
locates these Parcels within the the
[10:22] mixed use one and medium density
residential uh portions of the land use
[10:26] designation the neighborhood business
zoning district is a corresponding
[10:30] zoning District to the mixed use one
land use designation this is not a
[10:33] corresponding zoning District to the
medium density residential land use so
[10:37] it's just basically we're saying there
that there is a small portion of this
[10:41] track that is uh identified for
residential U so the comprehensive plan
[10:47] doesn't get right all the time but it is
what it is so uh staff is not
[10:52] distributed they proposed conditional
resoning to the TRC ultimately the
[10:57] application is going to have to come
back with a full set of drawings for
[11:01] staff review uh he submitted a 70%
drawing so it's not a complete site plan
[11:07] but it it basically demonstrates how the
the site will be developed out so um
[11:13] there are some pictures of a similar
development right next door which he
[11:17] currently owns and it's it's going to be
very similar to that except a lot more
[11:22] green
um uh let's see I requested a plan be
[11:28] added and and it's not
[11:33] everywhere I would like to just uh
briefly describe the project um and in
[11:38] your packet there is uh uh substantial
information I will make this brief but I
[11:43] also want to provide you with this
information uh and get it in the record
[11:49] um so uh the we've already discussed the
land use uh I I would like to go to the
[11:55] physical improvements uh the property is
proposing access to the site from the
[12:00] existing driveway cut along North
Berkeley Boulevard and one from mwood
[12:04] Drive uh the approved driveway permits
will be required from ncdot and city of
[12:10] Goldsboro prior to site plan
approval uh the applicant is proposing
[12:14] 8,450 ft commercial structure for the
site uh currently consisting of Five
[12:19] Tenant spaces uh parking will be
provided uh 59 parking spaces total
[12:25] which equates to one space per 150
square ft of retail space um the project
[12:31] will be providing sidewalks along um uh
Maplewood uh drive and uh uh North
[12:37] Berkeley Boulevard uh a lighting plan
has not been submitted but uh is
[12:42] understood that if the the site does uh
uh provide a lighting plan it will have
[12:47] to meet minimum city of Goldsboro
unified development or uh minimum
[12:50] ordinance standards um interconnectivity
um has been shown uh tying the proposed
[12:59] uh strip center uh into the existing uh
retail Center just to the north uh
[13:05] engineering uh City Water and Sewer is
available at the site um City
[13:10] engineering will require approval of
storm water calculations and drainage
[13:13] plants again it's a 70% drawing so the
engineering portion of the storm water
[13:18] uh Is Res is reserved for later however
the plan does show a site a suitable
[13:23] site on the property for a storm water
pond so uh Landscaping um
[13:30] uh Street trees have been provided along
Maplewood Drive and North Berkeley
[13:34] Boulevard and a type uh a 10ft wide uh
