Memorandum

To: Hardin Watkins, Town ManagerMembers of Town Council

From: Eric L. Copeland, Deputy ChiefCC: Brandon V. Zuidema, Chief of Police

Todd Marr, SergeantBrian McLean, K-9 OfficerJudy Bass, Town Clerk

Date: January 10, 2011

Re: Disposal of Police Canine

This memorandum is a request to have one of the Departments Police K9sdesignated as disposable property by the Town Council.

Tosca, a nine (9) year old Belgian Malinois, is currently assigned to Officer BrianMcLean. Tosca was originally purchased with asset forfeiture funds inSeptember 2003. Officer McLean has served the department well as a K9Officer since June 2005 and is the second handler to serve with Tosca.

In speaking to Sergeant Todd Marr, the Canine Program Coordinator, Tosca is atthe end of her useful purpose as a Police K-9 and recommends that she beretired. Given her age and physical condition, Tosca could not be assigned toanother handler for retraining.

Officer McLean has agreed to provide a retirement home for Tosca at no furtherexpense to the Town of Garner. It is my recommendation that Tosca be:

1. designated as disposal property,2. her value be assigned at $1 and

3. her ownership be transferred to Officer Brian McLean for her assignedvalue.

I am requesting that this item be placed on the January 18, 2011 Council meetingagenda. Should Council approve this request, Chief Zuidema would like to honorTosca and Officer McLean for their service at the February 7, 2011 Councilmeeting.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

PROJECT DATA:

Acreage: 15.06 acres

Landscape and Buffer

Requirements:

The plan as proposed meets the requirements of theLandscape Ordinance.

Tree cover requirements are met by a combination ofexisting and proposed trees.

A combination of Red Maples, Willow Oaks and TulipPoplars are used as street trees. Clusters of evergreenshrubs between the street trees along Creech Road willprovide an edge between the street and adjacent yards.

Perimeter buffers are not required between propertiesdeveloped or zoned for single family homes.

A stream running north and south through the property issubject to the Neuse River Buffer; this has been shownas required. Tree protection fencing shall be installedprior to construction of road, detention ponds anddiversion ditches to protect the buffer.

Number of Lots: 44 lots

Minimum Lot Size:

Parks & Open Space:

Floodplain:

The minimum allowable lot size is 9,000 square feet.The minimum lot size proposed is 9,001 with an averagelot size of 9,128 square feet.

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committeerecommended a fee-in-lieu of parkland dedication in theamount of $1025.00 per dwelling unit.

Ten percent open space is required; 17% has beenprovided. This private open space shall be maintainedby the Homeowners Association.

This site does not contain a FEMA designated floodplain.

Stormwater Management: Please refer to General Comments.

Fire Protection: The plan as proposed meets fire code requirements.

Water/ Sewer: Public water lines will be extended, from the existing linealong Creech Road, through the site and public sewerlines extended from the existing line along the westproperty line. Utilities have been designed to allow

PAGE 19


20/52

extension to properties to the north and south as theydevelop.

Sewer was previously allocated, in 2005, for thissubdivision from the Type II category, homes with aminimum of 2100 square feet.

Street Access/ Sidewalks: One point of access for this subdivision is proposed offCreech Road. Again, the design will allow interior roadconnections as properties to the north and south develop.Creech Road will be widened on both sides toaccommodate a left turn lane into the site. The roadimprovements were previously reviewed and approvedby NCDOT at which time it was determined that wideningon both sides of the road is preferred to avoid thepotential of a sight distance problem should the widening

occur on only one side. The plans have beenresubmitted to NCDOT; we understand there has beenverbal approval and are awaiting written confirmation.

Curb and gutter construction with sidewalk will beprovided along the Creech Road frontage. Sidewalks areproposed along one side of the local streets (55 b/b) andboth sides of connector streets (60 b/b) within thesubdivision.

General Comments:

This subdivision was approved by the Town in 2005; however, the permit expired. The owner isstill interested in developing the property and has resubmitted the plans for approval.

Storm-water management Inverness Subdivision is subject to nitrogen rules only. The projectslightly exceeds the 6.0 pound/acre/year threshold so a water quality BMP is required for a portionof the site. The project will utilize an extended detention pond in order to control both the 1 yearstorm peak flow and to reduce the nitrogen export below the 6.0 pounds/acre/year threshold. Theproject will pay a fee-in-lieu to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program in order toreduce the nitrogen export down to the required limit of 3.6 pounds/acre/year. Other than the 1year storm for nitrogen purposes, no storm-water quantity BMPs are required.

The Engineering Department has been requesting a detail of the proposed level spreader toinsure the design meets current standards. The detail shown does not provide enoughinformation to determine if it can be accommodated where proposed; communication continuesbetween engineers for a resolution prior to the public hearing.

MEMORANDUM

To: Hardin Watkins, Town Manager

From: Judy Bass, Town Clerk


Subject: Board of Elections

The Board of Elections is beginning preparations for the 2011

Municipal Election. They have contacted the various governmentagencies regarding the candidate filing fee and Early Voting

sites.

The Towns current fee for candidate filing is $10.00, which has

not changed for many years. Attached to this memo, you will find

a list of filing fees for Wake County towns which was compiled by

the Board of Elections. If the Council chooses, this fee may be

modified.

During Municipal Elections, the Board of Elections will provide

Early Voting at their office on Salisbury Street in downtown

Raleigh. If the Council wishes to provide an early votinglocation in the town, the municipality must provide funding for

the site. Should the Council choose to offer an early voting

location, you will need to determine the number of days and the

hours that voting is held. In the 2009 municipal election, the

Council chose to provide early voting at Pearl Street the last

week before Election Day from 3:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. The cost

for five days from 3:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. is $7,450 and five days

from 11:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. is $8,093.50.

I will ask the Council to: 1) decide to keep or modify the

candidate filing fee and 2) decide whether or not to provide

early voting and if so, the hours of voting.

Let me know if you have any questions.
