amenities and architectural features for the project. He said the original submittal was for a 3—story
apartment. He said that the Development Review Committee determined that a 4-storry building

Residential Building. Urban (Elderly). He said that NCDOT stated the traffic generation of the
project does not warrant tum lanes. He said that Staff and the Planning Board recommend approval
of the rezoning.

the Town by rezoning the property in case K—5l8.Al from PB—Sto RMU-C. The said rezoning
being consistent with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and further being both reasonable and in the
public interest due to the following facts:

the streetyard requirements along Salisbury Street. The modification ensures that the
development addresses the Development Plan Goal of establishing Kemersville as a
“unique high quality community within the Triad” by providing a design alternative similar
in effect to that required by the UDO.0 The petitioner requested a Conditional Use District rezoning allowing a specific site plan to
be considered to address the unique character of the area and to ensure that adjacent
property owners are not negatively affected by the design and placement of the
development on the site.0 There is demand for multifamily housing, specifically those targeted to senior adults, to
keep pace with the changing demographics.
Approval of site plan with conditions.
Mr. Hatling noted that the Planning Board recommended approval as presented with the
recommendation to put a turn lane in on Salisbury Street with NCDOT approval. He said that Staff
met with NCDOT approval and that NCDOT confirmed the traffic volume and traffic speed in the
area do not warrant turn lanes.

D. PUBLIC HEARING: LREZONING)William F. Green, Jr, Agent for Owners. Petitioner requests a Single-Phase Conditional
Use rezoning from RS20 to RSl2—CPRD (Residential, Single Family a Conditional Use)
for property located at 9431 County Line Road, containing a total of 36.13 +/—acres and
182
being all of PIN(s) 6897—10—1878.Uses Requested: Residential Building, Single Family;and Planned Residential Development. Zoning Docket K-786
D-1. Consideration of an ordinance rezoning said property.
Mr. Hatling explained the rezoning request and the purpose of a Planned Residential Development.He said the low impact stormwater measures will be used to reduce the rate of stormwater runoff.He said the homeowners association will maintain the common areas and amenities. He said thedevelopment will have access to public water and a private sewer that will be pumped to the publicsewer line. He stated that a similar PRD with a private sewer system was approved in 2019.He noted bufferyards and architectural design features.
Mr. Hatling stated that the Town has identi?ed that one of its unique high-quality communitycomponents is that areas are predominately single family residential. He stated that low densityresidential is defined as 0-3 units per acre unless the density of the area is 0-2 units per acre.He said the surrounding area has a mix of residential types and densities. He said the adjacentsingle-family residential area was developed prior to public sewer being constructed, thus theproperties are zoned RS20 with a density greater than 2 units per acre.
Mr. Hatling said that NCDOT threshold for turn lanes is 4,000 average daily vehicles or more perday and the average traffic count in 2019 on County Line Road is 3,400. He said that NCDOT hasrequested revised driveway permits be issued as each phase of construction begins to determine ifthe threshold may be crossed for considering the need for turn lanes.
Mr. Hatling stated that the area is subject to Jordan Riparian Buffer Rules. He said the proposeddevelopment will use the low-density stormwater development option and will remain below 24%built-upon area. He said that approximately 47.4% of the land in the project will remainundeveloped. He said a stormwater pond will not be required and that a minimal amount of pipingunder roadways will be required. He explained that the proposed 105 homes keep the project at adensity of less than 3 units per acre, which is the standard that would apply as this developmentwill be served by sewer. He stated that the PRD will have architectural design standards that aconventional subdivision would not have.
Mr. Hatling stated that photos were submitted of the accessory buildings located at 460 EdenBridge Drive and the Eden Bridge Culvert. He said that when Eden Bridge Road was designed andconstructed, the culvert was sized to address a certain amount of rainfall. He said that once thedesign storm capacity is reached it can backup and the stormwater can overtop the stream banksonto adjacent properties. He said that locating buildings in these areas is not advisable.
Mr. Hatling stated that direct access will be from County Line Road and that the Debra Lane accesscan be emergency access only. He said that NCDOT would require a connection to Debra Lanewith no new access from County Line Road in a conventional subdivision.
183
Mr. Hatling said that Staff recommends approval ofa motion to amend the UDO by rezoning the
property in case K-786 from RS20 to RSl2-C PRD, the said rezoning being consistent with the
Town’s Comprehensive Plan, the Kernersville De\‘el0_1m1enlPlan, and further being bothreasonable and in the public interest due to the following facts:
0 The petitioner requested a Conditional Use District rezoning allowing building architecturalstandards to be applied. This assures the development addresses the Development PlanGoal of establishing Kernersville as a “unique high-quality community within the Triad”.
o The petitioner requested a Conditional Use District rezoning allowing the consideration of a
speci?c site plan to address the unique character of the area, to allow for appropriatebuffering to adjacent properties, restrict access to Debra Lane to emergency access only,and minimization of the stormwater runoff.
Mr. Hatling said that the Planning Board voted against a motion to approve the rezoning by a vote
of4 in favor and 5 against. He said that the Planning Board voted 8 to 1 in favor ofa motion to
recommend the site plan.
Aldennan Boyer asked when NCDOT will do the next traffic count for the County Line Roadintersection with North Main Street, who bears the cost of the private sewer pump, and how
expensive any repairs would be if needed.
Mr. Hatling said that is being done now and will be available late 2022 or 2023. He said the
homeowners association would bear the cost and would have to properly budget for those costs.
Alderman Crews asked about the location of the sewer pump in relation to the creek.
Mr. Hatling said it is located on the south side ofthe creek in the proposal but that Staff and thePlanning Board recommend moving the pump station to the north side so it is not across from a
home
Mayor Pro Tem Fulton asked about the cost of moving the pump station and how much a pumpstation would cost.
Mr. Hatling said it is only a design so there would be no real cost and that the developer would
have to answer the question about how much the pump station would cost.
Mayor Morgan declared the public hearing open.
184
IN FAVOR:
Bill Greco. 200 S. Regional Rd. Greensboro
Mr. Greco said that the plan has been adjusted due to input from neighbors in the area andemployees within the Community Development Department. He said that the pump station waslocated in the place where it is most supported by gravity and was chosen by the developer’sengineering team. He said that NCDOT has authority over tum lanes related to traffic. Hereferenced the design components and density of the project.
Mark Smith, 5952 Tarleton Drive, Oak Ri_(lgg
Mr. Smith noted other projects in the area that have been built by the developer. He said thathomes in the area of this development will generally require a more expensive septic system.He said that a sewer pump system is cheaper than 105 individual septic systems. He mentionedefforts made to reach out to neighbors.
OPPOSED:
Randall Reibler, 1255 Debra Lane, Kernersville
Ms. Reibler noted the neighbor’s objections to the development and complaints about ?ooding andtraffic. She said that people in the area like space around their homes, tranquility, and privacy.She said that low density is de?ned as 0-3 units per acre except that the density should be 0-2 unitswhen the surrounding area is 0-2 units per acre. She said the surrounding area is currently 0.8 unitsper acre. She said that the developer has proposed to replace the culvert at Debra Lane with onethat is 3 times as large as the current one. She said that will only worsen ?ooding issues alongDebra Lane. She said the development does not follow the Land Use Plan and that the objectionsof neighbors have not been addressed.
Peggv Watson-Smith. 1290 Debra Lane, Kernersville
She said that the rain yesterday tumed an area with no standing water into a pond. She said thaterosion has resulted in a creek on her property. She said that her house was required to be on anacre of land due to the watershed restrictions. She said that traffic is already difficult in the area.She said that development will only increase the flow of water into her yard.
185
Art Martz, 4600 Eden Bridge Drive, Kernersville
Mr. Martz shared the concerns of others. He noted that Little Beaver Creek ?ows through his
property and it produces ?ooding problems periodically. He said that the creek will over?ow its
banks with a water level of several feet. He said that his well and swimming pool have ?ooded.
He noted that this development will not have a retention pond.
Jim Pinkerton, 9481 Countv Line Road, Kernersville
Mr. Pinkerton said that 168 citizens signed a petition in opposition to this development. He said
there is a sewer pump for a nearby church that is always having maintenance issues.
David Tumas,?00 Eden Terrace Drive, Kernersville
Mr. Tumas said that he is always helping his neighbors when they have ?ooding issues.
He said that 105 homes will add to the water runoff problem.
David Hatch, 9487 Countv Line Road, Kernersville
Mr. Hatch said that he is glad to see that attention is being paid to the water runoff issues. He said
that Kemersville offers small—to\\'n?avor with access to big cities but that development like this
encroaches on that small-town ?avor. He encouraged the Board to pursue learning the cost of
maintaining and repairing a sewer pump station. He said he would not object to a development
with RS20 zoning. He said 105 homes on this property is too much.
Lois Pinkerton, 9481 Countv Line Road, Kernersville
Ms. Pinkerton said that she hears the alarm when it sounds for the sewer pump at the church.
REBUTTAL {IN FAVOR}:
Mark Smith, 5952 Tarleton Drive, Oak Ridge
He noted that water from hundreds of acres ?ow into Beaver Creek. He said that farmland is
unregulated, so anything that can be done with low density development will slow the rate of water
runoff. He said that no toxins will wash downstream from any septic systems in the development.
Bill Greco. 200 S. Regional Rd. Greensboro
Mr. Greco stated that NCDOT controls the traffic and that this area adjacent to this development is
already in a ?ood zone. He said that he understands the opposition as he previously lived on
Teague Lane.
186
REBUTTAL [OPPOSITION]:
David Hatch, 9487 Countv Line Road, Kernersville
Mr. Hatch said that the ?ood plain is to the east of this development. He said that this developmentwill only make the current ?ooding problems worse. He reiterated the Land Use Plan requirementsregarding density.
Randall Reibler, 1255 Debra Lane, Kernersville
Ms. Reibler said that she installed a new septic tank when she bought her home 10 years ago at acost of $3,000 and that she has not had any problems with her septic tank. She noted the federallyregulated wetlands in the area.
Peggy Watson-Smith, 1290 Debra Lane, Kernersville
Ms. Watson-Smith said the pump station will be in front of her house. She said that 12 acres of thispropeity cannot be developed, so the 105 homes will be built on 24 acres.
Art Martz, 4600 Eden Bridge Drive, Kernersville
Mr. Martz said this project will not improve his ?ooding issues. He said that his house is not in a?ood zone but that he still has to deal with water from Little Beaver Creek.
Mayor Morgan declared the public hearing closed.
Mayor Pro Tem Fulton stated that page 8 of the Staff report mentions a possible reduction in thewidth of the streets in the development and asked about the plans for the streets.
Mr. Smith said that a reduction of the width of the streets is being contemplated. He said that it isin the \vorks but would not say it is being planned.
Alderman Boyer asked about the required street width.
Mr. Smith said the requirements are 24 feet of asphalt, 3 feet of curb on each side, and two 5-footsidewalks. He said reducing the width will reduce runoff and make the long-term cost ofmaintenance less for the homeowners association.
Mayor Pro Tem Fulton asked if the property is in a ?ood zone.
Mr. Hatling said this is not a designated FEMA ?ood zone.
Mayor Pro Tem Fulton asked if there will be two phases for the development.187
Mr. Smith said yes.
Mr. Hatling said that the two phases are not a condition of the rezoning.
Mayor Pro Tem Fulton noted that phase 1 by itself would be 3.3 units per acre.
Mr. Hatling said that the 36 acres would be divided by the number of units so the density would
actually be less if fewer homes are built. He said the 3.3 units per acre are watershed notes and not
housing density notes.
Mayor Pro Tem Fulton asked about the flood zone.
Mr. Hatling said the FEMA ?ood zone is east ofthis property.
Mayor Pro Tem Fulton asked if the sewer system would cost around $250,000.
Mr. Smith said that a septic system currently starts around $4,500 but would probably cost between
$7,000 and $8,000 in this area due to the difficult soil. He said the sewer system would cost around
$3,000 per home and would be more sanitary.
Mayor Pro Tem Fulton asked how a narrower street would impact ?re safety.
ChiefAldemiaii said the road width needs to be 20 feet.
Mayor Morgan asked ifthat would be sufficient width for Public Services.
Mr. Swisher said yes.
Alderman Boyer asked about the garages for these new homes.
Mr. Smith said the homes would all have garages. He said that a narrower street would still be safe
and that the garages would be sufficient for at least 2 cars and in some cases 3 cars.
Alderman Boyer noted that parking on the street makes it extremely difficult to drive down a street
that is narrow.
Mr. Smith said that standard parking would not be allowed on the street.
Alderman Boyer asked about the suitability of the property for septic systems.
Mr. Smith said the property sat on the market for 2 years because it isn’t suitable for septic systems.
188
Alderman Boyer asked the residents if they would prefer septic systems or sewer in the area.
The Pinkertons said they just oppose the 105 homes.
The others said they prefer septic, although Mr. Tumas did say that septic may not work in the area.
Alderman Crews asked about the 12 acres without development.
Ms. Watson-Smith reiterated that the 12 acres without development cannot be developed. She saidthat all ofthe homes will be built on 24 acres.
Mr. Smith noted that those 12 acres are part of a protected wetland but that the entire property is 36acres in size.
AldermanThompson asked about the size of the homes.
Mr. Smith said these homes will be 1,800 to 2,500 square feet with a cost of $300,000 to $350,000.
Alderman Thompson asked Mr. Smith how many similar pump systems he has installed.
Mr. Smith said that he has done 4 pump systems. He said he will also help the church improve andupdate their septic line.
Alderman Thompson asked about the alami system for a pump system failure.
Mr. Smith said that the management company will get an alert through a remote wi-? system.
Alderman Thompson asked how many houses could be built on this site with RS20 zoning.
Mr. Hatling said 78 units could be built in RS20 PRD. He said that the numbers would not work tobe pro?table to build a conventional subdivision.
Mayor Morgan asked if the square foot size or price of the homes could be made a condition.
Mr. Hatling said that the size ofthe homes could be made a condition ifthe developer would agreeto the condition.
Mayor Pro Tem Fulton made a Motion to deny the ordinance as no motion was made to approvethe ordinance.Alderman Crews seconded the motion.
The Board voted 4-1 in favor of the motion to deny the ordinance.Alderman Thompson voted against the motion to deny the rezoning.

He saidthe truck would only be allowed to park in a space in front of the business that is hosting the truck.He noted an email and a letter that have been received that will be entered into the minutesregarding this agenda item.
The following comments were received prior to the meeting:
Mr. Hooker — hope you are doing well. I understand that a potential food truck ordinance is beingdiscussed inside the Town of Kernersville. I would simply like to lend my voice as someone whois supportive of food trucks and I hear from many people how much they love purchasing theirmeal from a food truck.
We love the great restaurants in Kernersville, visit them regularly and encourage our clients to visitthem as dining options and we only want to see them excel and prosper. While there is diversityand choice in the traditional brick and mortar restaurants that we currently have in town; in orderfor the local economy, quality-of-life and business environment to continue to grow in a positivedirection. additional options should be encouraged.
We are in a changing environment in our world. Lots ofinnovative ideas have had to be unleashedand having options, such as food trucks is a great way to bring others into the town to showcaseit. The town should be encouraging innovation as that could be a competitive advantage for ourcommunity. Lots ofother local communities are adapting. innovating and becoming attractions to
many. We should continue to do the same. Limiting ideas, limiting growth and other options is not
the way to do that. Encouraging others and partnering with them is the way.
As a real life example, we hosted a food truck for lunch at our office recently. It was a
Kernersville-based food truck, a local business. We had 40-50 people that came, many from outsideof the town. We heard from a number of those folks that they had no idea that the downtown was
as burgeoning as it was and how they would de?nitely be back. We hope to do more of this andbring more people into the town to showcase it.
Food trucks are attractions and have followings. To allow food trucks the opportunity to participatein our local economy is good for business, good for the local economy and good for the citizens ofthe town.
Thank you Mr. Hooker.

Curtis,I know you do not vote on these matters, but if you have any in?uence on the board's thinking,please hear me out. Imagine, 5 Food trucks parked on main street every night of the week, andGiadas, The Prescott, and Breathe gone because they were pushed out by "bars and food trucks
serving burgers." If these guys want to have restaurants, I am all for them investing in Kernersville
and building restaurants here, but without any skin in the game, they swoop in, take our money, and
head back to Charlotte, Winston, and Greensboro. That is not fair.

Dear Distinguished Aldennan,
On behalf of the 47 employees of Giadas Trattoria, I am writing today to ask you re iecttheordinance amendment:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TRAFFIC SCHEDULE 6 OF CHAPTER 9 OF THETOWN OF KER.\IF,RSVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCESTO ALLOW FOOD TRUCKS & MOBILE RETAIL VENDORS TO BE PARKED ONPUBLIC S'I'REE'I'S WITH CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS
I believe that having food trucks parked on city streets, especially in "historic downtown" 7days a week will be detrimental to the brick—and-mortar restaurants that are still struggling tobreak-even under the Governor's restrictions. Although we are told there is "help on the way"by the federal government, there is no guarantee.
Brick and Mortar Restaurants have NOT been able to fully operate in 4-74 days and counting...
I don't have anything against food trucks. I own one.
But there is NOTHINGwrong with the current ordinance...food trucks can be set up onPRIVATE PROPERTY. They do not need to take up the valuable (and limited) street parkingdowntown, forcing the private lot owners to enforce parking restrictions [and consequencesfor violation].
In addition, what bene?ts does the town get from the food trucks? Because your brick andmortars pay property tax, sales tax, water, and garbage.
Do these food trucks [almost ALLofwhich are from outside ofKemersville] donate gift cards,money, and meals to Glenn Athletics, East Forsyth Theatre, Kiwanis GoIfTournaments,Southeast MiddleSchool Teacher Appreciationjust to name a few.
Because ifwe continue to squeeze out the few folks who risked everything to invest indowntown Kernersville WHEN NO ONE ELSEWOULD,then I shudder to think what downtownwill turn into, and foreshadowing...it won't be good.
