Town Manager’s Report Period: August 31 – October 7, 2015 Submitted By: J. Scott Chase, Town Manager

1. Road work – Widening/Paving Hammock Beach Road and NC 24 roadway improvements – Update from Engineer of record, Joey Brickhouse, SEPI, notes that the only thing remaining is the striping on Hammocks Beach Road. Due to the rain events, the striping should be completed within the next 2 weeks. Once the striping is finished, DOT will reconstruct the shoulders completing this resurfacing map. As I type, the 24 project is underway, beginning with replacing areas of damaged curb and gutter. The completion date for the project is December 15, 2015.

2. Traffic Study RFQ – Hammock Beach Road/NC 24/Queens Creek Road – We are, as of the timing of this report, under contract with the Timmons Group, Raleigh, NC, to perform services as provided in the scope of services (Attachment A). With respect to the project –

• All necessary traffic data has been collected and compiled; • The consultant is in the process of finalizing existing conditions traffic

analysis; • The draft report/figures are being completed in conjunction with the

analysis; and • According to the consultant, work on the future/build conditions will be

underway next week once the consultant has performed a QA/QC of the baseline findings.

As for the report, the consultant is on track to deliver draft report by Monday 10/26/2015. This deliverable will include all findings and recommendations; it is anticipated that finalization of the draft study can be handled within 1-2 weeks, depending on the Town’s review time.

3. Heritage Museum Update – Please find attached letter from Swansboro’s Historic Preservation Commission (SHPC) regarding the Old Town Hall located at 502 Church Street and other near term and long-range requests (Attachment B). As noted in the letter, $14,300 has been allocated from the FY 15-16 budget to make emergency and critical repairs. To date, approximately $1,250 has been spent on emergency electrical repairs in the attic, along with a “very” preliminary environmental/structural analysis of the structure. The latter is assisting with proper identification of issues related to the structure. In addition, we have invited John Wood from the State Historic Preservation

Office (SHPO) to assist in proper identification of restoration methods related to said structure. Mr. Wood is set to be here on October 14.

Further identified in attached letter from the SHPC, is the SHPC’s support of the Heritage Museum to be located at 502 Church Street. However, prior to the museum’s occupancy of the structure, identified “critical repairs” must be performed. Identified in the FY 15-16 budget is an additional $82,000 that would be used for repairs only resulting from “Swansboro Investors-Big Box Permit Fees.” The SHPC notes “we are grateful for the potential set aside as a result of the “Swansboro Investors-Big Box Permit Fees,” however there are immediate needs for the building that cannot wait.” Please note as well with recent legislation change (160A-414), permit fees collected under the authority set forth shall be used for support of the administration and activities of the inspection department and for no other purpose. The SHPC notes the only true way of stabilizing the structure and reducing/eliminating the threat of mold is replacing the HVAC system and installing the proper insulation, etc. Town staff is in the process of assembling cost estimates for said “critical repairs.” The data is not yet available.

The SHPC further recommends the Town explore all possibilities (ex. One Harbor Church) (Attachment C) for their consideration of using a portion of the building to share in costs of repairs to the structure. The Town should investigate a lease work/arrangement with other entities that would be of benefit in a cooperative manner with the establishment of the Heritage Museum.

On September 30, staff met with One Harbor representatives on usage of the old Town Hall facility. In initial conversation (on site), the church has requested use of the auditorium (Sunday mornings) and 2-3 classrooms and an office. Tentatively, only in conversation, the church has agreed to assist in a donation towards the repairs ($10,000) and provisions for repair work (labor, construction management, contractors, and other needs that may be identified) and appropriate lease agreement (amount, etc TBD). Please keep in mind, that other concerns are at play with consideration, such as parking and long-term lease agreements that would not interfere in the museum’s expansion and function of their day to day activities. On October 1, staff met with museum representatives to share the information retrieved from the September 30 meeting and how the entities could possibly work together. Representatives from the museum believed that the two entities could (if feasible) work together only under certain circumstances. It was recommended by staff, if so desired, that a joint meeting be held between “any” parties considering renting the Old Town Hall for identification of each other’s needs and sharing of space.

Town staff will be seeking direction from the Board of Commissioners on pursuing such interest after “critical repairs” estimates have been received. A suggestion made by staff in meeting (on site) with the Historical Association was the immediate (possible) use of the bicentennial room, storage areas and restrooms upon the Police Department’s vacating of the structure and relocation into the new Public Safety Building (Attachment D). Staff suggested this as a “Phase One” approach to getting the museum off the ground, and the building being identified as the Heritage Museum. Other sections of the building have major work to be performed before it can be occupied as a place of assembly/worship and/or a museum. It was noted that the Museum could occupy the space that was in best condition while the rest of the building was being repaired. Given such repairs, the space being utilized by the museum would allow time for additional funding for not only repairs but advancement and operation of the museum and subsequent expansion into other areas of the building. Before such could occur, a lease agreement (Of note has been drafted) would have to be approved by the Town Board of Commissioners.

4. Onslow County Housing Summit (Attachment E) – On August 31, staff attended an Onslow County hosted Housing Summit at the Commissioner’s Chambers in Jacksonville. The purpose of the meeting was to gather information on the existing Onslow County residential real estate market through a series of presentations to the County Commissioners and the public. Ben Warren, Onslow County Planning and Development Director presented information about existing land use types and the statutory authority of the County as it relates to regulating land use. Other representatives presented data including the City of Jacksonville, Jacksonville Board of Realtors, and Camp Lejeune. The Town of Swansboro is experiencing similar trends in permitting (slow out of the gate in FY 15-16, with recent upticks in residential homes being permitted). Mr. Warren noted “Residential trades such as remodels and expansions drastically increased as new residential construction decreased.” Highlights from the Summit can be found at: http://www.onslowcountync.gov/news.aspx?id=29196

(8) Enter, solely in performance of its official duties and only at reasonable times, upon private lands for examination of survey thereof. However, no member, employee, or agent of the Commission may enter any private building or structure without the express consent of the owner or occupant thereof;

(9) Prepare and recommend the official adoption of a preservation element as part of the municipality’s comprehensive plan;

(10) Review and act upon proposals for alterations, demolitions, or new construction within historic districts, or for the alteration or demolition of designated landmarks, pursuant to this ordinance; and

At our September 1, 2015 Regular Meeting we reviewed a list of suggestions as recommended by our Town Manager in keeping with the prescribed duties of our Commission. We believe these may impact strategic initiatives presently underway or being planned by the Town of Swansboro. Our priorities and subsequent recommendations are listed as follows:

1. One of the initiatives underway includes the reuse of the old Town Hall located at 502 Church Street as a Heritage Museum. It is our understanding that $14,300 has been allocated from the FY 15-16 budget to make emergency and critical repairs to the structure. In addition, potential revenues are noted in the FY 15-16 budget as “Swansboro Investors-Big Box Permit Fees” that would potentially generate $96,000 in revenue whereas $82,000 would be used for repairs.

We are grateful for the potential set aside as a result of the “Swansboro Investors-Big Box Permit Fees,” however there are immediate needs for the building that cannot wait. At the September 1 meeting, Brittany Shipp disclosed with the Commission the repairs planned and underway. We agree with the planned repairs, however once these are made, the building’s climate should be stabilized thus reducing/eliminating the additional presence of mold. The only true way of doing such is replacing the HVAC system and installing the proper insulation, etc. One would estimate the immediate repairs to be close to an additional $30,000 to stabilize the structure. Therefore, the Swansboro Historic Preservation Commission (SHPC) requests the Board of Commissioners allocate now the necessary funds to make the most essential repairs and eliminate further deterioration of the structure.

2. We further understand that other parties have documented interest in leasing a portion or all of the building located at 502 Church Street and would consider sharing or paying for all of the necessary emergency repairs to the building. Therefore, the SHPC would recommend the Town explore all possibilities (ex. One Harbor Church) for their consideration of using a portion of the building to share in costs of repairs to the structure. The Town should investigate a lease work/arrangement with other entities that would be of benefit in a cooperative manner with the establishment of

601 W. Corbett Avenue • Swansboro, NC 28584 • Phone: 910/326-4428 • Fax: 910/326-3101

the Heritage Museum. The SHPC further recommends and provides their documented support for the establishment of the Heritage Museum at 502 Church Street.

3. To further the advancement of the protection of the Old Town Hall building, the SPHC

requests the Old Town Hall at 502 Church Street be included in Swansboro’s Historic District proper. Therefore, the SHPC recommends the Historic District be expanded to include the property located at 502 Church Street.

4. Further protection efforts should be made for the Old Town Hall building located at 502 Church Street. Therefore, the SHPC recommends that the structure be included as a landmark designation and consideration be given in the budget for the hiring of a consultant to assist in the extensive paperwork necessary for filing.

5. The SHPC and the Swansboro Historical Association (SHA) should have a defined relationship and direction be provided between the SHPC and the SHA. Their efforts should be in lock step constantly. The SHPC recommends that a liaison position be created from the SHPC that works and partners with the efforts of the SHA. A representative from the SHA should also be appointed in a liaison capacity and regularly attend meetings of the SHPC.

6. In order to protect the assets of the Historic District and further promote development and enforcement of the Gateway Standards, a code enforcement position should be established full-time dedicated to these efforts and not be a shared responsibility of the Public Works Director. Therefore the SHPC recommends the Town hire a full-time Codes Official that can dedicate their efforts solely for enforcement of the Town’s codes.

7. As a result of providing the additional resources necessary for enforcement of the district, the Town should consider provisions within Article 22 for a Demolition by Neglect Ordinance. Furthermore, stronger code enforcement should be given for all properties located within the Town’s limits and along the Gateway Corridor. Therefore the SHPC recommends the Town provide resources in the form of staff or a consultant to develop and adopt Demolition by Neglect Standards. These standards will give staff enforcement provisions needed to detour deterioration of historic structures located within the district. These provisions can also be benchmarks for other code enforcement activities within the community.

8. Appointees to the SHPC should be residents of the Historic District when all possible. Therefore the SHPC recommends that priority should always be given to applicants that live within the district.

9. The Town should support the preparation of a long-term plan for the district that presents a vision that promotes and develops the district both through the physical assets and through the media. Therefore the SHPC is requesting funding and assistance from the Town, Tourism Development Authority and other identified sources for the development of a website that offers historical facts and photographs/videos of properties located within the district. These efforts can also be used for homeowners within the district and others considering investing in this district of the guidelines associated with being an owner within the district.

601 W. Corbett Avenue • Swansboro, NC 28584 • Phone: 910/326-4428 • Fax: 910/326-3101

Other goals were documented during the September 1 meeting and will be included in an update of the annual report to be provided by the SHPC to the Board of Commissioners. We believe these goals and our progress made during the year reported to you can be helpful in your funding priorities for future years and assist with preservation of our most prized assets. We look forward to working with each of you and helping with the preservation of our most precious history.
